Jericho. That would guarantee the best match, Jericho doesn't need to win and the feud would be entertaining.

If Triple H is ever world champion again I want it to just be a full heel turn where they finally just acknowledge that he basically runs the damn place. Have him hold the title for a full year and lose it at Mania to someone who needs to get made, be that Kofi, Morisson, whoever. I don't ever WANT Triple H to be champion again, but if he were thats what I'd book. Basically Factgime without flunkies? I could get behind that. It would be a good way for HHH to bow out and take a behind the scenes role after while getting someone over.

If Flair could be heel during the Evolution days, Triple H can be.
Really, its as easy as turning on HBK. Again. Although I would rather not see a retread of that.

WWE could have The Great Khali standing in the ring for two hours yelling at the time keeper and get better rating than Impact. That says more for fans of WWE than the quality of TNA. But yeah, lets all come in here and bash TNA since WWE is the only wrestling any of us are allowed to like.

Ziggler is pretty much done in my eyes of me alteast and I'd think in the eyes of marks that only see him as a loser because he is. The guy gets a slow build and somehow he is a loser and done now? Have WWE destroyed your attention span with so many instapushes over the past few years that you lack that much patience? I prefer the slow build, myself. Its wrestling, wins and losses arent that important. A year ago Ziggler was a dark match jobber on RAW.

I hope he beats Sheamus, actually.
Only because I am very bitter at all those other guys I liked losing to Lawler, and Sheamus is the first guy I DONT like who may enter into a feud with him.
So I hope he jobs like all the rest. Nyaaaaah.

Well, so much for Christian jumping to SmackDown due to its lack of top faces. Guy jobbed to someone so low he's feuding with R-Truth. Thats a bit like saying if someone loses to Orton they are never gonna go anywhere because the guy has fallen so far he is feuding with Kofi Kingston.

I sure wish R Truth would come to my house and do that for me. He would have a fan for life.

I don't think he was wasted, but his pop sure was. When Piper was thanking the crowd for the standing ovation, they were really silent, which made the smattering of "Roddy, Roddy" chants that much more... embarrassing? It's like half the crowd didn't know who he was, a quarter didn't care, and the other quarter were probably 20 years old and up. :S WWEs fault for doing their best to drive away all the old fans over the past few years. The crowd didn't really pop for any of the names Piper mentioned either.

None of you noticed that Benoit's title win at Wrestlemania 20 was replaced by a shot of Michaels holding the belt after winning in the Elimination Chamber? That PPV was at MSG too. I dont even pay attention to the BANoit anymore. Its just a fact of life WWE are never going to show him in these sorts of videos ever again.

Well, at least he is trying to entertain SOMEONE. I was starting to doubt his desire to do so.

Dude has charisma to spare. Did you see him destroying the Orton Nascar? Did you see him attacking Orton with a fiery passion then breaking free from security to do the boom drop off the rail while the MSG crowd chanted "Kofi! Kofi!" As long as WWE doesnt saddle him with another gimmick like Saba Simba v2, and focus on his in-ring talent, he has a good chance. We'll see.... I saw him destroy the Nascar and he stayed in character despite tripping and the paint flying in his face. So the guy is intense and getting the crowd to chant your name isn't hard. Cody did it just by watching Orton RKO Dusty. I'm not denying the guy will go far, but not WHC far is all. If its not hard to get the level of heat Kofi got last night, someone needs to fax the RAW writers some protips because its been hard for them to get the crowd behind any new guy on that level for years.

I'm calling it now. Kofi Kingston's not going to be given the world title / WWE title because there are too many others in front of him and he won't be given the chance in a company with so many major stars. If he does well in these programs, he'll get high marks, but that's about it. How many times has a wrestler come along with this same story? Thats why I am not letting myself get too excited over this. Which is sad. my favorite thing about wrestling is watching the lower guys get a shot, catch on with the crowd and make it big like Foley, Eddie, Y2J, Rock, Austin, etc... I want to see something like that again, not more manufactured pushes.

He seemed fine to me, he wasn't sluring his words or anything, he was just Piper being Piper. Maybe a lot of the newer fans are just so use to seeing the same scripted promo after scripted promo that anytime someone doesn't sound like they're reading off cue cards it comes off like they're drunk or high. THIS.

I didn't know what was worse. Jay-Z or Black Eyed Peas on Raw. Give me generic nu-metal anytime. I disagree wholeheartedly. I don't mean any disrespect at all, nor do I want to turn this into a race issue, but I get sick of all of the heavy metal bullcrap that I have to endure with them every week. It was a nice change of pace. As a proud African-American, there was a time when I wondered if WWE had ever heard a song done by an African-American artist. Every month, it seems to be, "We would like to thank Saliva, Evanescence, Drowning Pool, etc. for the PPV theme." Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all types of music. In fact, I await the day that a farewell video is accompanied by country music star, George Strait's, "The Cowboy Rides Away." However, it was a nice change of pace. Totally agree. The song fit perfectly, in fact it may be my favorite video WWE has ever done which is definitely saying a lot considering the number of great ones they have put out. I really liked it. I hate most of the music WWE uses because its the same nu metalish sounding crap over and over and over, despite the fact that: 1. Nu metal sucks [yeah I know this is only my opinion but whatev] 2. Nu metal fizzled out and was outed as the fad it was. It would be like WWE setting vids to ska music. I would rather have real rap and hip hop, not that lame rap metal garbage. Whoever picked the song knew what they were doing. At least I could show my girlfriend this video today and have her actually pay attention since they used a good song for once.

The Undertaker only started being truly on top of his game a few years ago and Lesnar had the tendancy to be a bit sloppy at times. Maybe it has been Takers opponents over the past few years more than anything in the 90's he was put against Giant Gonzalez, Yokozunna, King Kong Bundy, Kama and Sid as well as a few others and those long with his matches against Warrior and Hogan are what is most remembered about Taker from the 90-'s. His first really good feud was against Kane which also gave us his first good Mania match in 1998 and his legandary Hell In A Cell match against Michaels. Which were over 6 and 7 years into his run in the WWF. This decade he has fought against them likes of HBK, Punk, Edge, HHH and Angle. Who are head and shoulders above any of Tkrs 90's feuds and matches in every way. Lesnar was more than a bit sloppy at times shooting star press anyone? Holly neck injury also? The Holly thing was Hollys fault. Not Brocks. Shooting Star Press was just a freak accident, he had done that move many times. It could happen to anyone, hell, Taker pretty much did the same thing this year at WM.

Am I the only one sorta reminded of Sabu by Kofi?
His unorthodox, flying style, weird counters and such. Now that he has dropped the smiling gimmick and become a crazy wildman of sorts, I am reminded even more of him...and that double legdrop through the table spot last night was straight out of the Sabu playbook.

Have none of you people ever seen a Piper promo? I mean, I didn't watch RAW but checked out a clip because I love Hot Rod and wanted to see what he was up to last night...that was classic Piper.
If you guys had been around in the 80s you would have thought everyone was on LSD constantly. ;D
As for the bald stuff aimed at Hogan, thats not the first time Piper has said stuff like that. Doubtful it was meant to be any kind of shot at TNA.

I think they should sign Prince Nana to manage him and turn him heel. So kill his momentum and give all his heat to a guy who will never wrestle? Shhh, if the RAW writers read this they will immediately put this plan into action.
