Randy probably raised his level of respect in the back for toughing it out. Though his work was never the problem in the past.
One thing that I don't understand is why no one seems to care that RVD has the WWE belt. You would think Vince would be giving Edge a pep talk to 'bring the WWE title back home!!!'. But no one seems to give a ****. Now if HHH had lost the title, it would be the #1 angle on the show.

Exactly.
However, if Vince was more concerned with the title race, the DX setup wouldn't be as good.
I sorta have the vibe that DX is distracting Vince's character on Monday's from everything else, and I sort of like that. ECW invading? Doesn't bother him. All that bothers him is that DAMNED HBK AND HHH.

They could at least have someone go up to Vince and say "dude, the title's gone" and he brushes it off. As it is, it just looks like no one cares and it buries RVD's win.

I just remembered something.... Remember last year, during Raw home coming or around then at some point...Triple H went to see Vince as he arrived in the parking lot. The segment ended with Triple H and Steph smiling/starring each other and the cut to commercial.
In light of Triple H's "hung like a horse" crack this past monday, I think they are building it to bring Steph and HHH's relationship back to WWE TV(again). With Triple H further sticking it to Vince by revealing he fathered Steph's baby..(We all know he really did, but they havn't touched on who the father is on TV).

From the latest PWInsider audio:
-Paul Heyman had a lot more influence on the show last night, but like always, at the end of the day it was Vince who said what goes. Vince realized there were problems last week, and was open to suggestions for this week.
-Behind the scenes, everyone was saying that they also felt that the show last night was a hell of a lot better than the first episode.
-Francine, CM Punk, and CW Anderson are all scheduled to debut for ECW this weekend at the show on the 24th. Test may go ahead and make his debut then also.
-Test was going to debut last night on the SciFi show to do the role that Sandman did, squashing Macho Libre. The only reason that didn't happen is because Paul Heyman got his way to let Sandman do it.

I like the gimmick. That is, Sandman coming down and squashing random goofy "sports entertainment" jobber every week. Keep doing this and build it up to where eventually someone gets sick of Sandman being served cupcakes week after week and you have yourselves a PPV match. Seems like a reasonable way to build Sandman's persona for a largely new crowd.
Well, that or licensing his music. Geez.

I just finshed watching Smackdown from last Friday. Wow it was pretty good. Lots of actual wrestling. I found it to be much more entertaining than either Raw or TNA at this point. I've yet to see ECW but I'll give it a try tonight and will stick with it atleast until CM Punk has been around a while.
I really wish they'd move Haas to either Smackdown or ECW. I mean lets face it the guy is probably never gonna tear up the mic(though he's not bad) so why have him on the show that is based more on storyline than wrestling?
It would be just like his fued with Raven in ROH. Which was sweeeeeet

More than anything else, they have a good opportunity to build these people up to be "something". Clearly, with Big Show being booked as a heel, they need to throw a face at him. Dreamer/Show makes the most sense, as Dreamer can therefore get over as the "people's face" so to speak. It would also give them the ability to pull out a debut to take on Big Show.
In terms of the ECW title, the build they've giving Sabu makes me think that Sabu/RVD is really quite likely, at least in terms of the short term. Test could theoretically rise to such a level with a strong workrate, plus the fact that the audience will theoretically know who he is. I think it's clear from the point that Vince wanted Test to be the one to attack Macho shows that they plan on using Test in a fairly prominent role.
What this show provided was finally places for things to build from; there is now a strong entrance point for CM Punk, from the perspective of the TV Title most likely, and with more OVW talent I think that they can really push forward and create a strong wrestling show. I will be glad to see this WWE/ECW connection die off a bit, but there is some promise.

To most people, moving from wrestling to acting would be a no brainer...you work less (and there is less physical strain on your body) for usually more money.

Ummmm...I HIGHLY doubt that. Jericho was making a good living in WWE, he just had other interests. In a recent interview he said that WWE made him a millionaire so no in the end he can't really talk bad about his time there and left the door open to come back. He said that is the only company he would come back for.
The news about Christian doesn't surprise me. On f4wonline a couple of months ago they reported that TNA's feeling towards Christian was starting to sour and Christian's feeling about TNA was doing the same. Mainly because people thought he wasn't really putting much effort into his job and didn't take it seriously. Supposedly his wife is rich and he is aspiring to be an actor so maybe TNA isn't that important. Seems to me that traditionally, being on the 'road' is part of being a wrestler. Maybe now that he is always home, he just doesn't get the same rush. Instead of getting out of a hotel, going to do a show, he just drives down to the arena for work. Dunno, but anyone know how long his contract is?
I don't blame him at all. The goal in wrestling would be to get as much money as you can and then get out before you damage your body too much.

Samoa Joe becomes champ.
He reigns supreme, to the delight of his fans.
Then Goldberg comes in and ends his career with his Hitmankick, becoming NWA champ.
Goldberg rules until one man comes forward to take him out...

My sources tell me that the Ultimate Warrior is actually planning a suprise come back at Wrestlemania 23...However, due to the WWE's new substance abuse the Warrior had to change things a bit:
