Well, I've watched all of this week's RAW today (I taped it).

It started shaky with the Highlight Reel. Amazing how the crowd died down in interest as soon as Candace Michelle made it to a microphone. Just proves yet again how it takes a LOT more than boobs and a pretty face for a Diva to be worth anything.

Once we got to the matches it was a good deal more interesting. There was flashes of how green Gene Snitsky is, but mostly the actual wrestling (you know WWE, the whole reason for your product?) was enjoyable.

The only thing I'd disagree with my mentor Rick Scaia about: while Christian made his match watchable, Randy Orton dragged the match quality way down.

I'm curious how HHH got a copy of JBL's car to add fuel to his "pussing out on Batista" bit, but I'm sure that will be explained next week.

The latest pick for the Hall of Fame induction was a surprise: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

With the time he was part of a stable with Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorf and Cowboy Bob Orton, inducting the trio together makes sense. My surprise comes from the fact the WWE fired Piper about 2 years ago, after his admission on a news show that he was a heavy drug user, and no longer knew who he really was. I'm surprised neither side would have too much animosity to go through with this.
