R Truth is hilarious, and I agree the name 'Air Boom' is stupid.

The smackers champ is more like the IC champ of old while the IC and US belts are like the TV Title and Cruiserweight titles of old.

Just a different restructuring with the expansion of several shows and a deeper roster.

Yeah, but they could have less titles and actually book mid-card feuds worth a damn. But they're lazy, so the gimmick of a belt (that means nothing) is the entire story arc for a feud between oh, I don't know Santino and Kozlov and two guys who make them look like the Rockers in the ring. So those belts, which used to be protected and main-event worthy on B shows in the past (or even big PPV like Summerslam in the IC title's case) are more the equivalent of the Cruiserweight tag titles and the Hardcore or European title after people stopped caring about it. No one knows who has the belt, no one cares, and it's not worth anything to elevate guys.

Anyone excited for Jeff Hardy's return to TNA tomorrow night? Me neither. At least Eddie Alvarez is going to make an appearance!

Hey, back to my neck of the woods. I might check that out. Then again, with the ROH nerds, maybe not...

I bought MITB today. Great booking of a hot angle. The best crowd at a WWE event in about 10 years, maybe longer. But not even close to a 5-star match.

Former creative team member Seth Mates via twitter.....

So here's the formula for what WWE is doing right now: (1) Give you big match with heel (HHH) going over. (2) Heel forms faction and throws everything but the kitchen sink at babyface. (3) Babyface finally gets come-uppance at WrestleMania.

The problem is, this is HHH we're dealing with, so here's how I imagine it really happened and will happen.

This is all speculation. (1) Nash unable to wrestle. HHH casually suggests he take his place, knowing working with Punk good for him. Says he'll put Punk over. (2) Uses Nash's ineptitude to slowly undermine Punk and casually throws out that maybe HHH should go over. Says it'll mean more that way when Punk finally wins.

The quote we heard a time or two, if I'm not mistaken, is "I really want to make this kid."

The faction formation gives you some stuff to work with in the longterm - babyface build is all about the "thrill of the chase," after all.

The goal, ultimately, is to make the up-and-coming baby look inept and never get the win back.

Or, baby'll rise above the BS and the return match will be huge $. That's the carrot he dangles. Rarely happens. He knows that. But HHH already got his win.

HHH & Punk spending 10 minutes talking about how to get over was

[SHOGUN]

The last ten minutes were so laaaame. CM Punk just rambled and kinda looked like a whiner. Only the last few minutes were good.

I'm in that phase where I kind of tune out wrestling if it sucks...and it sucks.

Anything worthy of going through the DVR for for RAW?

Skip it. Nothing of note.
