Thoughts:

The IC title is back!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bringing back the IC title is the best move that the WWE has made in a long time, now if they will end this hard split on the rosters well be okay.

I think I am going to like Stone Cold Steve Austin in this new role as Co-General Manager. Eric Bischoff was getting extremely stale and Raw really needed some shaking up.

The tag team title match is so typical of why exactly Scott Steiner totally sucks. He knows 4 moves; I should say he uses 4 moves because I know he knows alot of stuff. It's really sad because I used to be a major mark for him and his brother.

Damn what a bloody fight between Nash and Hunter, out into the streets of Canada.

Everyone should buy Splinter Cell for there game system of choice. It is amazing. I personally have it for Xbox and it is mega sweet.

I wonder if Jericho will be able to drag out a good match from Big Daddy Cool.

The people who designed the ring attire for La Resistance need to be shot and if they survive shot again, it was hideous.

I am really sad about Miss Elizabeth. I watched the retirement match between Randy Savage and Warrior because it is my favorite match featuring Elizabeth. She will be missed.

The Rock must have given Christian a shit load of pointers for Promos because he is alot better. I guess that is because the Rock gives the best promos in the business and Christian copied everything right down to the smile the Rock uses. Hey I don't bash that being more like the Rock will do nothing but get him over more with the fans.

I think we got to see every single canadian wrestler today.

I wish the Lance Storm match would have gone longer.

Teddy Long is getting on my nerves, I wish he would just go away to like africa.

Good God Austin drank a lot of beer, it was cool to see the twins drink their brew together.

By The way Prayers are answered the IC Title is BACK, best wrestling news ive heard all year!!!!
