RAW had some good stuff, but also some major head-scratching moments.

First off, the idea that RVD and Jericho were the last RAW guys in the Rumble match. Funny; I thought Goldberg was their last one.

Then came Randy Orton blowing the finish for that opening match, then trying to do the exact same thing again. All that really did is to insult our intelligence. Suuure, we could all forget the previous slip up happened...

Trish telling Jericho that they're friends... that's a painful term many of us have heard, me included. I really sympathize!

The second "Huh?" moment in the show: Stacy Keibler coming to the ring to celebrate with Rico and Miss Jackie. That came from out of left field, and made no sense. Mind you, how Rico became a face with no rhyme or reason still makes no sense to me.

Chris Benoit coming to confront Triple H, more Undertaker mind games... then Goldberg answered the mystery: he snarled, "Brock, the brand doesn't matter, I want you!" That gives me an idea of what they'll do for Wrestlemania this year: it can be interbrand matches.

The Royal Rumble was a little schitzoid, but the Rumble match itself was astounding!

Most of the matches before it were made very short to leave time for the Rumble match itself. As a result, matches like the Cruiserweight title match were "blink and you miss it" affairs.

Eddy versus Chavo Guerrero was a good example of the new "slow down in the ring/less high spots" edict. They did far more mat wrestling. To my surprise, Eddy got a clean pinfall win. I guess this was meant to be a short feud.

The shortness of the Rey / Knoble match seemed even more criminal when Brock / Holly was given more time - to squander on rest holds. Fans were quiet for the majority of this match, which shows how unimportant this feud was.

Triple H and Shawn Michaels had a major brawl, both wearing a major crimson mask. I wasn't happy with the double-countout finish, and the crowd voiced displeasure at it too.

The Rumble itself had some really cool moments: the surprise return of Mick Foley, the first mind games for the Undertaker's return, and of course smarks reason to rejoice: Chris Benoit winning.

If he gets another "bridesmaid" loss from this, I will not be happy.

It's about time I talked about Smackdown!, here with the Royal Rumble just hours away...

We got the continuing feud between Eddy and his nephew Chavo Jr. Tradition states that Eddy would get the win tonight, having given the pinfall on SD!, but in order for the feud to continue, Chave needs to win.

Mind you, Kurt Angle is waiting in the wings. Abondoning Eddy felt like a slow burn toward heeldom for him.

I'm expecting Billy Gunn to return as a cocky heel. His "Best Of" bits don't feel like a face thing to do.

Bob Holly against Brock Lesnar - does anyone really care?

Lots of things to think about this week - including the possibility that Chris Benoit will win the Rumble and get transferred to RAW. We'll see what happens.
