I'm trying to figure out where I stand on the Triple H-Heyman segment. On the one hand, when you're such a heel that other heels don't like you is a good thing, so Heyman being such a sleazebag that Trips doesn't like him is significant (although, not that it really helps Axel or Axel helps anything at the moment). However, it seems like a logical way to transition Punk from a feud with Heyman to a feud with the McH would be for Heyman to sell his soul to the McH... or the McH to sell their souls to Heyman... or something. There would be some kind of exchange of souls... if they even have any souls remaining to barter. Well, not like one little segment precludes this possibility. It seems like Trips's "Best for Business" axiom can be used to answer away any non-sensical behavior (hence why he and Orton are now BFFs). But Heyman joining the McH just seems to make sense. It transitions Punk to feud with the McH and gives the McH access to Lesnar whenever he's available.
Odd turn of events. Show was going to go after the Shield, now he's broke. Cody's feuding with Sandow in the World Title picture, now he's getting married and "fired." Both seem like moves that can pay off. Crowd was getting behind Show to stand up to the McH last week, so turning him in to the conflicted, manipulated monster could build on that turn. Meanwhile, Sandow/Cody wasn't working very well as a story, IMO. Crowd really seemed to come around to Cody in the course of the match, making his firing a strong moment and setting him up for a big moment and feud for his inevitable return.
Fun fact I just learned: Rosa Mendes debuted on the main roster in November 2008. She has never pinned anyone in a match.
She's also not a particularly interesting valet, she's nothing more than "generic attractive Latina"
So what's the point of Rosa Mendes and why has she been employed for so long

It pays to fly under the radar. It does bring up a minor curiosity of mine. Has the shelf life for Divas increased now that they don't all end up in Playboy? Talk amongst yourselves.
I really do love the new McH Era thus far. I don't think that last segment could have played out much better. I can't remember Seth Rollins getting any better showcases than he got in that match and the Super-German was mindblowing. I was really glad that they didn't sacrifice the first match like I expected with Gauntlets and protected the rest of the Shield and Bryan with the other matches for the most part. Trips reminded me of Gob Bluth's Christmas party, for some reason as the good times roll and Orton's look back on the way out was priceless. Want to know that something is working... the crowd was chanting for Big Show to interfere. When has that EVER happened?
I get why Swagger's on (like his 9th career) massive losing streak, but what did Cesaro do to get lumped in to this mess? Was he too awesome as US champ?
So, if WWE can afford to buy an Escalade and deface it, what would be in TNA's means? A Kia Soul?TruthTellers
A used bicycle if there weren't going to destroy (they'd hang on to the receipt to try and return it) Hot Wheels and camera tricks if they are going to destroy.
