Right now the best thing on Raw for me, has been Daniel Bryan. Jericho is great as always, and Michael Cole's obnoxious heel turn is fun as well. He's already an annoying prick, so I'm glad they are playing it up a bit since JR isn't coming back.

By ring psychology you mean working the crowd, right? Because in that regard I rank him right up there with guys like Hogan, The Rock, and Flair. All these guys knew exactly what to do to get the reaction they wanted, when they wanted it. I will disagree with you in saying he carried Raw, I think there were a group (him included) that did that.
Daniel Bryan, or as we might better know him, Bryan Danielson aka American Dragon, is awesome. I'm so glad he's finally in the big leagues, but I get the scary feeling he'd be able to showcase more of his actual wrestling talent in TNA, as they don't promote a "safe style". I had the pleasure of watching the guy wrestle a match for ECCW (our local promotion!), and he's the shit.
I do agree that they kinda dropped the ball by having the Nexus defeated at Summerslam. Why not keep the momentum for those guys going, and it would have helped legitimize them a little more in the eyes of the fans. They should be using the blueprint used for the NWO when they first started...Now that was an invasion.
