The Manhattan Center (also known as the Hammerstein Ballroom) has been one of the most famous arenas in pro wrestling history. In addition to hosting the first year of RAW, it was also the site of many famous ECW shows, including the One Night Stands. It was an appropriate decision to have portions of RAW 25 in the building where it all began.

However, instead of giving the Manhattan Center crowd a good show, WWE decided that ripping them off would be a better option. Oh sure, fans got to see Undertaker as well as a DX/Kliq/Club love fest, but those hardly justify the three hours of tedium they had to suffer through otherwise.

From Woken Matt's dud match with Bray to a completely heatless Club/Revival encounter, it was clear that this show had wrecked the enthusiasm that the Hammerstein crowd had at the beginning. It even got to the point where fans who had paid for 400 dollar seats were demanding refunds. And can you blame them?
