Wrestling fans are a fickle bunch, constantly complaining about the state of the industry; mainly because we know how good it can be and long for something better. Over the past several years its felt like the WWE has been spinning their wheels putting on mediocre shows and its frustrating because the audience knows what theyre capable of and demand a superior product Weve seen the industry at its best and we want better from our chosen form of entertainment. When its bad, we flood the internet with our negativity and griping, pointing fingers at all the usual culprits - Vince McMahon, Stephanie and Triple H, WWE creative, etc. - and make sure our voices are heard as loudly and aggressively as possible. But we keep coming back. And it's part of the reason why our grievances aren't taken seriously; because the company views us as in infinite resource. That's the reason why fans need to be vocal in their appreciation when the WWE puts on a great show, and the May 4th episode of Monday Night Raw was not only a great show, it was easily one of the best in the entire run of the series. In fact, we'd go so far as to label it the best Raw this decade. Read ahead and find out what made it such a memorable edition.
