Nobody could blame you for checking out long before the four hours of Raw 25 (including the pre-show) concluded. This wasn't WrestleMania. Hell, it wasn't even a pay-per-view quality show. For that four hours of investment, those who had the staying power to see the whole shindig through weren't rewarded.

Praises be to WWE's production staff, some of the roster and a couple of fans, then, for their efforts.
