One more thing.

How much did Billy Gunn look like he was enjoying himself?????
Don't think he stopped laughing and smiling throughout the entire segment.

He looked in real good shape too

Oh, my other gripe is that JR called one match at the bottom of the card. Why not Punk v Cena?

Miz as IC champ is awesome. With the likes of him, Christian, Cody, Swagger (despite his burial), Funkasaurus, Mysterio, R-Truth, etc etc - there's a real chance to build a mid-card with some meaning. I like how Bret called winning the IC belt one of the best moments of his career. Maybe that is the jumpstart the IC strap needs.

I wish they'd drop the US Title, or at least replace it with the European or Hardcore strap, if they're going to let jobbers like Santino carry it around.

It's something I've been saying for ages, there's not enough talent to cover for 4 single titles. You could get away with after WCW went under because there was a large talent pool which allowed the brand spilt to work. But now there's not enough top guys to create enough rivalries to make the belts seem worth anything.

They should merge them into just the WWE title and the IC title

Recovering from Surgery apparently.

As is the Great Khali now, had surgery on his pituitary gland this week! Bloody hell.

Well the first 3 hour Raw that wasn't packed with every superstar from the last 20 years wasn't that bad.

Did seem to drag a little in places. But the CM Punk stuff was good. It's just a shame that after getting a win against Tensai, Tyson Kidd has been getting a kicking every time he shows his face.

And the new GM of Smackdown is... (written in white text below)

BOOKER T

Booker T? Are you kidding?

That marble mouthed rambler is going to be in a main position to get over wrestlers and angles? Cos he's done such a wonderful job on commentary.
