I just hope that they actually remember that Orton hates HHH whenever he comes back.

My god, the voice of reason. Say what you will about his intentions behind this if you have your doubts (and I'm sure some will), but I agree with what was just said. I also agree with Trips, in that I've been saying it for months.

I think it's a very smart move to have Cena chase the belt and if they let him go with the old school rapper gimmick again i be for it.
Orton as champ thou.... I don't know about that one....

Regarding SummerSlam, the only thing for certain on the card at this time is a multiple-person match with Umaga leading some heels against the 'Jackass' crew. One person who will probably miss the match is Bam Margera. While skateboarding in Louisville, Margera sustained a torn liver and concussion. He also spent three days in the hospital. Quick question: how does that make the wrestlers the heels?

HHH speaks the absolute truth about the whole Cena thing (better w/o the belt vs. w/ it). I don't know if I'd have him chasing RANDY ORTON as I'm still not 100% sold on Orton's ability to carry a brand, but H is right in that Orton is the top heel on Raw right now, like it or not since Edge left.

Though Orton may not be at maximum over-ness, it wouldn't be that hard to push him up there (i.e. destroying the spinner belt). And he doesn't need an incredibly long reign (four months or so). The problem will be the lack of main event faces. Cena's been on top for so long that I don't see anyone but him and Trips as top level faces.

One of the reasons the 'Jackass' angle is taking place is because USA is doing a show called Dr. Steve-O, starring Steve-O from Jackass of course. The show airs directly after Raw in an attempt to keep the Raw audience from switching stations as soon as the show goes off the air. The idea of the show is a reverse vacuum Guy where Steve-O takes timid men and gives them a makeover to become macho men. Two comments on this: 1. Didn't Comedy Central already try this with Straight Plan for the Gay Man? And wasn't it a terrible flop? 2. Steve-O is probably the last guy I'd think of to transform people into tough guys. In short, this show has about as much shelf life as The Lance Krall Show.

Well, Randy Orton would work like "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Ordnoff did for Jed Shaffer's REWRITING THE BOOK column.
That is, he would sort of try to split his competition by making them fight each other out instead of HIM.
SummerSlam: Orton/Cena/Lashley for the belt, if Orton had won at VENGEANCE.

1. Triple H is as smart as everyone always thought he was.
2. WWE is stupid if they think they can keep Umaga heel if they put him against the Jackass crew. It's looking like the most hilariously accidental face turn in some time.

I was already a big fan of his, but damnit, I love Triple H (in a non-homo way of course).

Wow. Triple H is the voice of reason.
Making sense, and actually wanting to give Orton a bit of run with the belt. Things may be looking up.

Whilst everyone loves to say HHH is only in it for himself he does think about money on occasion. I dislike Orton but this will be far better for me than the current situation. I would have prefered BOOKAH! or Kennedy though.

It's looking like the most hilariously accidental face turn in some time. Between getting cheered for beating up Super Mario at Vengance and the upcoming feud with the Jackass crew, Umaga might soon be the most popular wrestler in the WWE. Nice booking, Creative.

how do you tear your liver? I suppose by crying all over it. How do you tear your liver, you ask? By being a jackass. Duh. And to whomever said it earlier...Steve-o doesn't need to worry about STDs. He IS a disease all by himself. The afflicted: our better judgment.
