For a second there, I thought they finally used McIntyre just to write him off...

Hm, maybe. Hasn't been like that for me.

It has kind of gone by quickly. Really doesn't feel like it's been an hour and a half since it's started... dunno if that's what you mean or not, though.

Y'know, I think Miz is wearing those tights as a favor to the guys working on WWE '12. He has those tights on in the game, and some people have complained that the attire is outdated. Now that he's wrestling in them on Raw again, saying that seems kind of silly...

I'm liking this segment. The Raw MITB is looking pretty interesting, really...

Eh, heels are hypocrites.

Eh, I don't really mind an inter-promotional feud. He's really only appeared on Raw to build it when it's dual-branded. Big Show only appeared on the SD! that started it because he knew Del Rio was there, it's not like they're just randomly appearing on the wrong show.

Really loved that segment. Punk was hilarious as usual with that megaphone. Was confused as to why the Raw GM would want to put Cena into a handicap match, but for once, Cole actually helped explain something.. Kinda like the idea of this negotiation thing, I'm sure Punk's gonna have some wild demands... (Wild Cherry Pepsi in the lounge?! Never!)

Really dunno when the last time he booked anything was... This may be one of the reasons the WWE switched to the 'creative team' form of doing this, though, now that I think about it. Not all of the pressure is on just one person to come up with everything, and just one member of the team burning out doesn't do as much harm as it would've if they were the only one doing it.

Did Sheamus just do an Irish version of the old "It's a Jersey thing" chestnut?

To be fair, a lot of people also read the spoilers on this one, and many don't really watch a show after doing that.

What better way to show that he's not a real main event player?!

Wooooow, I am ADORING this...

Boy, this is getting good. And Vinnie himself just said "some other wrestling organization"... I'm starting to think this whole "never say we're wrestling" thing was wildly overblown...

Huh. Vince's promo just now REALLY painted Punk out as a face, didn't it? Interesting...

I actually kind of like how Riley's been going over Miz. He keeps getting good reactions, so it seems to have served it's purpose, and Miz is someone I feel can bounce back and get his heat back pretty quickly, so I don't think there's much risk with it.

I love that they've started doing all these hype vids for people again. They aren't quite the Desire vids people used to love, but they're good for reminding you how awesome people are. I also like how they're hyping up MITB, showing the awesome highlights and all of the subsequent title wins, the match has gotten quite a bit of prestige - although I think I would still kind of prefer it if it was WrestleMania exclusive...

Well, she HAS lost quite a bit of weight, but she'll probably always be fat to creative...

Yeah, he lends himself to being face to me. The only way those kind of characters work as a heel for me is if they seem to really believe they're so awesome and that all the chicks love them, but - and this is pretty much thanks to the web show, I think - nowadays he just comes across as someone that's just messing around and having fun, and that seems a lot more babyface-esque to me.

So Del Rio did win, cool finish, very solid triple threat. Let's see how the rest of my prediction goes...

I really don't know if it's a matter of being too old. Jericho seems to be a fan, and he's 40... I can't necessarily explain his appeal, aside from finding his web show and stuff kinda funny. Maybe it's just that sense of enthusiasm he gives me. I mean it's not like he had to start making those, and I doubt he knew it'd get the following that it has, he just did it for fun as far as I know. He seems like he's having fun with it, and for some reason, I always like getting that feeling. I just find him oddly entertaining, and for a long time I've thought he was solid in the ring, I remember him having great matches with Christian back in '09 that made me think he had a lot of promise.

Hahaha, Ryder appearing just to appear. Got the feeling that was a little rib on the 'Ryder or Riot' crowd... They also have sorta similar tights, for those that were wanting more of that.

Hm, was wondering how Punk would get reinstated. Didn't figure on Cena himself arguing it, but hearing it, it's pretty fitting for him. Here's how I see this going; Del Rio wins the Triple Threat tonight, only for Vince to unsuspend Punk, and getting his title shot back, taking away Del Rio's title shot. This gives Del Rio a legitimate argument for going after Cena after MITB - assuming Cena retains against Punk - leading to the SummerSlam match that everyone's been expecting.

...Are you mixing up Slater and Gabriel?
