Thought Raw for once (in a long time) was actually better than the vintage collection this week. The stuff with Michaels using his real name & flipping burgers was brilliant.

About 2% of the audience 'get' the Hickenbottom and 'doing jobs' jokes, though.

And why, kayfabe-wise, is he flipping burgers? Thought he was set up for life when he beat JBL?

Seeing as his last match was that match at 'Mania with Undertaker, this is his great comeback?

Because he was being a "chef" cos he didn't want to be a wrestler. HHH finds him and tries to convince him to come back to the WWE with, supposedly, hilarious consequences

In fairness, to a born again Christian, child abuse is comedy, isn't it?

Eugene has been released yet again.

As for those segments on RAW there are bad actors and then there are the actors WWE gets.

On ratings it's been reported that TNA is now beating RAW, Smackdown and ECW in the UK.

My best mate is a big TNA mark and keeps telling me this.

BUT, does this take into account that WWE programming is repeated throughout the week in the UK? For instance, I don't doubt more people will watch Impact on a Saturday night than will watch RAW at daft o'clock AM, but I have trouble believing that all the combined ratings of RAW/Smackdown at least throughout the week will be lower than TNA.

If it is, then good on TNA.
