Tonight on select shirts is buy 1 regular price get one for $1. Getting the Jericho "Drink it in Man" shirt. Deciding between 2 seth shirts The Kingslayer shirt he is sporting tonight or the Seth Freaking Rollins Shirt. Wanted the Orton shirt with the green RKO on the front but it's not among the shirts available on the offer.

I just watched Enzo's debut match on NXT today (they have ALL the episodes on the Network now). He wasn't such a guido back then.

So they just have him debut, and then that's it? The crowd chants his name, then they hit his music? What the hell?

Yeah I turned it on when he was in the ring during his entrance, was wondering if I missed something.

So I'm finally watching raw and had a question I'm sure someone here knows. What's the real reason behind the Raw GM change? Did Foley want out, or did they want him out?

He is having hip surgery and he has also not been under contract as well

This is the primary reason. The other reason is Foley, although a face GM, was wearing out his welcome with the fans. I blame most of it on horrible writing because Foley has been an excellent GM in the past, but beyond even that Foley just wasn't clicking. Part of that might have been he didn't necessarily want to be there because of the hip problem and being in pain, and then add on the fact he's basically a retiree that's being asked to travel every week.

Word on the Hardy Boyz right now is WWE will be riding the "nostalgia train" for awhile. However, once the nostalgia train begins losing steam (and it is revealed that Anthem/Impact is full of crap in trying to enforce trademarks on the Broken gimmick), the Hardys will become more, well...

Not to mention, if you watch Matt Hardy, at the moment he seems to be a fusion of ALL his past gimmicks - Team Xtreme, V1, and Broken (he flashes all three on coming out onto the stage - brief dance, putting up the V1 sign, then the "delightful embrace" followed by delete gestures and more embracing).

Crews is going from smackdown to raw

He really should go back to NXT and learn to not be such a charisma, personality, and promo black hole. I will give the guy his due as he's a freak in the ring (despite him not having a finisher that I really like), but other than that I'm not sure what people see in him.

True that's all I see too is that he is a freak athlete and has the muscular build that vince loves
