Yeah I marked out for the legend that is William Shatner appearing on Raw. Plus he stood up to the King and showed some moves. If he'd have started singing after grabbing the mic then it would've been an all time favourite moment I think.

I observed this in the previous match, but it is refreshing to see Raw coming from a big arena with a sizable-looking crowd for once. Lawler's a pro, and this is decent enough for what it is, but it sure isn't as entertaining as the braying laugh track portrayed by Vince McMahon thinks it is. And so the idea of Lawler as any kind of threat comes to a permanent end.

 

Interesting that Bret gets the star rub here and not Diesel. Is that because of the mutual Canadian-ness? Was the original Star Trek a little too fresh and recent to be on Big Daddy Cool's radar?

Watched this while I was writing my Owen/Razor review, Vince’s personal laugh track stood out to me as well. Lawler did a great job and Shatner held his own. I am not sure how this became legendary also me being a Millennial I know who Capt Kirk is and have seen some of the Original Star Trek but maybe that’s why it is not as big of a deal. This seems to kick off the Bret/Lawler feud that would last until about October. WOW!
