I have been kind of leaning that way in thought also. I really can't believe he sold it, I wonder where this chapter will lead?

Another "Shave the head" match?

A "Kiss my ass" match?

The world will never be the same.

There's no fugging way VKM "sold" Raw to Trump.

My buddy and I were guessing who it would be, and he won by guessing
Trump.

I actually thought it would be Paul Heyman, or Eric Bischoff.

Zed nailed it though.

It's all a "work." It helps both parties out.

Trump gets some face time (remember - he was a part of one of the
first 'Rasslemanias) by paying for some commercial-free air time. VKM
gets help with "production," and some new angles.

It's all good. But hey...

No - way - no - day. VKM is the master, and he still rules all he surveys.

Sad to see Vicki Guerrero go, though. I thought she made a awesome
heel.

Hey, did any of you catch Edge do the old E&C "30-second posedown"
gimmick a few shows ago?

LOOK FOR A EDGE & CHRISTIAN "REUNION" SOON.

AWESOME that Tommy dreamer got the ECW strap too.

Vince threw him a bone. That rocks Vince! That totally rocks.

Dreamer took some nasty bumps for the team on his way.

Glad they did the right thing and gave him the belt.

Dreamer earned it.

Two things that bothered me about Raw in Charlotte:

1. NO RIC FLAIR? WTF? Charlotte w/o Ric Flair is like Vegas w/o
Wayne Newton. Unheard of.

2. NO MATT HARDY RUN-IN? WTF? Matt and Jeff got no hometown push
from Vince. I thought for sure that Jeff would win the fatal 4-way.

no way RAW could be sold as as eparate entity... had to be an angle, biut just can't see Trumop hanging in there for that long

Edge is a heel, and Christian a face... not sure how they'd rejoin. would like to see it, but it would basicallly be a step backward for Edge

Flair's been doing some indy promotions (ROH), not sure if that had anything to do with it

Nobody gets a hometown push - if anything, they get embarassed in theor home town

We figured Raw was sold to Flair or Bischoff.
Trump was unexpected, and we knew right away it was a ploy.

Then I fell asleep and missed the commercial free show.

Watched a little TnA (wrestling not porn!) and thought it was decent.
Not a fan of the octagon ring, but I could get used to it.

Differently cool.

I saw Florida Championship Wrestling the other night.

The American Dream Dusty Rhodes is a commentator for that organization.

FCW is a developmental fed for WWE, I'm guessing Dusty is booking it too
(no more OVW)

I watched some TnA a year or so ago (maybe alittle before Christian got there), but it just never kept me interested

Edge hurt at a house show last week (this weeks stuff was taped before)

so not sure what'll happen next

Wow! Who was he 'rasslin?

think it was during a tag match... ruptured achilles tendon.. surgery today, no word on how it went

weird watching Raw knowing that he was hurt after the show was taped, yet still advertised him in a tag match at the next ppv

AT surgery is MAJOR. That's a crucial tendon, and they have a tendency
to re-tear, like Batista's shoulder.

I think both of those guys' retirements are near, but I hope I'm wrong.

I severely pulled my Achilles tendon when I was in grade school. That is a suckass injury. I have a weak ankle still because of it. Thankfully I didn't need surgery to pull it out of my knee cap.

Cygette's best friend snapped hers. It never healed 100%, and the area
is deformed for life.

I cringe just thinking about it.

I still can't see Big Show as Jericho's tag partner. I was really hoping for Christian. Oh well.

The Shaq bit vs Show was pretty cool though

didn't get to catch up on 'rasslin....so "Bit Slow" is tagging with the
"Winnipeg Weenie" huh?

and Shaq has lowered himself to jobbin'? pitiful.

(Just kidding...we KNOW who jobbed, and it wasn't Shaq.)

A funny memory just came up...

I was watchin' one of those CLASSIC matches between Eddie Guerrero
and Benoit that was on SHMUCKDOWN! some years ago.

Here's some color commentary:

"Benoit Irish-whips Eddie into the turnbuckle...

Benoit comes up and gives him one of those SLEDGEHAMMER chops to
the chest... he gets a "WOO" crowd pop just like Ric Flair when he does
it...then ANOTHER...

(the TV camera angle switches to outside of the ring behind Eddie's
corner)

Eddie crosses both arms across his chest and grimaces in pain, turns to
the camera guy and goes, 'OH MY GAWD!' "

Folks, that was a Classic WWE in-the-ring moment.
