12 WWE Raw 25 Impulse Reactions
3. Poker Heels
Harking back to his role on the far superior Raw 1000 show (and for that matter, just about any time WWE need legends to comedically interact with the main roster but cause minimal damage), Heath Slater was again used and abused by the old-timer in a seemingly never-ending parade of grossly unfunny poker segments with a payoff that resulted in him going through a table courtesy of The Dudley Boyz.
Losing and losing and losing as more and more superstars piled into shot as the night wore on, Slater's card table form mirrored his success between the ropes in the last 18 months, but would have been harmless enough had the company not allegedly had an obligation entertain fans in two separate venues.
Whilst fans inside the Manhattan Centre watched the gaga on a screen, MVP, Ted Dibiase and several others made their presence felt in the Brooklyn skits. Almost literally anything could have been done with them across the river to keep the fans happy as Raw trudged on, but like just about everything else on the show, the segments were woefully conceived and executed. Robbing the New York City crowd of The Dudley Boyz' table antics in particular seemed a gross miscalculation.
