Ups...

5. Giving Sheamus And Gunther Their Flowers

For a company that typically doesn’t love a certain type of wrestling match, WWE has certainly gotten a lot of mileage out of the hard-hitting style of Imperium and the Brawling Brutes.

Raw highlighted Sheamus and Gunther’s battle for the Intercontinental Championship at Clash at the Castle, which finally turned fans onto the Celtic Warrior for his in-ring work, and then focused on the feud between the Brutes and Imperium, culminating in the donnybrook match.

Probably the true highlight though was an interview with Sheamus, who joked around and took the camera on a tour of his home decorated for Christmas, include a life-sized gremlin and a cardboard cutout of MacGruber.

Fun stuff, and another unguarded interview segment that was much easier to watch and enjoy that forced, scripted banter.

Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
