Raw 1000 made Raw 25 look sh*t.

It had a nice reunion for The Undertaker and Kane, some D-Generation X hijinks, Jim Ross rejoining the commentary booth, an inoffensive appearance from Bret Hart, a wacky group kicking for Heath Slater from Bob Backlund, DDP, Doink The Clown, Rikishi, Animal, Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter, Sycho Sid, and Vader, and a wedding.

The show was notable for CM Punk's heel turn on The Rock too. With NXT's imminent rise and the emergence of serious women's wrestling over the next few years, this feels like a watershed moment for the company looking back.
