You're absolutely right. Kofi picked up the Intercontinental Championship, defeating Chris Jericho in his first match as an official member of the RAW roster.

He immediately scrambled for the corner and started clutching his eye, and continued to do so while leaving the ring and after Hardy attacked him post match.

6. Half Baked is the best stuff ever invented.

11. I agree with you on Teddy Long, but I don't think Vince's presence brought the show down.

12. That was probably the best thing Shelton ever said. I'm always the guy who plays the role of Grammar Police, so for Shelton to come out and tell him that was just awesome.

15. I'm so glad he's back to that gimmick. I love the chaotic way the character made his re-appearance on TV with the disappearance and re-appearance of Gregory Helms.

My ex wife? I hope Angle made that bitch tap out!

After Angle's promo, I had a feeling something like that would happen in the main event. The way he said that the match was about himself and Joe, and that at the end of the night, "We" would be standing tall really stuck with me and made me think something was up with the two of them. Surprisingly though, I seem to be the only one, so kudos to TNA for surprising the hell out of almost everybody. iMPACT! will certainly be worth watching on Thursday, if only to find out why Joe joined up with the Mafia - and to see if Raven sticks around since he had pretty much the same deal as The Franchise did.

James Storm's promo: Pure gold.

The opening segment: Trying to stir up some high ratings, a la RAW's highest rated segment EVER, without The Rock and Yurple the Clown is not going to work. Hell, WWE had The Rock do a Mick Foley "This is your life" segment, and it didn't even come close to the original in terms of ratings.

weird - it posted to my facebook instead of my intensedebate account. Ah well, whatever.

I have to agree with RDLee here, this was a great article. Some of the people I've been fortunate enough to meet who were very cordial to me even though security was trying to rush me through the signing are Trish Stratus, Edge, and believe it or not, Hulk Hogan. Stacy Keibler, on the other hand, seemed completely stuck up, like she'd rather be anywhere else in the world than WWE Niagara Falls sitting next to Adam Copeland and signing autographs for her fans.

UPDATE: I couldn't do anything about the post length, but if I did it right you should be able to sign in to comment with your Facebook credentials. How cool is that?

you know, as much as I wish I had WGN and could watch Superstars, part of me is glad that I still have that extra hour of non-wrestling time on Thursdays. Especially when WWE does the three hour thing. Really, I think the only reason they do them is because the network wants them to, it seems like even the creative staff has trouble coming up with gimmicks for 3 hour RAWs sometimes.

And for the record, I have no idea what's up with the posting limit. I'll look into it but I doubt I can change it since the comments are handled by intenseDebate.
