^ If you actually read my post you would understand that was just a proposal of how to reveal him as Raw GM. Honestly, I don't think there is any plan to reveal a new GM. If there was, they would have done so already.
Didn't watch Raw (Read about it on a great app I have with allows me to keep up with stuff like that) but it sounded like a transitional show/tribute to Randy Savage. I'm glad the Cole/Lawler thing is over for the most part, but I think the thing I like the most is Reily breaking away from The Miz. Sounds like the WWE really wants to push him a lot more instead of just being The Miz's Lacky, and that's good to hear. Hopefully it's an interesting program.
The WWE was supposed to repackage Alex Riley totally but I guess they couldn't think of another gimmick for him yet and just decided to do a pull away angle.
Was Alex Riley the European guy from WCW who dances? I think he partnered maybe feuded with Disco Inferno.
Nah, that is Alex Wright. Riley was Miz's rookie from Nxt I believe. Don't remember what season.
Um. CM Punk was HONORING Macho Man by wearing his tights timothy. Really. It astonishes me that you don't understand these things. CM Punk is probably the reason the WWE went through with the tribute given his respect level of Savage and other legends.
I think WWE was also fearful of a backlash in light of the outpouring of people's memories of Savage.
Their tribute was nice. I liked Lawler's comment about Savage being a HOFer no matter what. I also loved watching Michael Cole suffer so. I knew that was going to be the end-result of this thing, but that didn't make it any less fun.
Raw in general was good stuff. The main event was strong, and I like what they're doing with Riley. I enjoyed his run with Miz.

Yep, Vince and company definitely understood that they needed to do something to honor one of their most famous superstars! It was a nice subtle, not over the top tribute show. I wouldn't be surprised if Vince was thinking...I'm not doing another Benoit type tribute show ever again, I don't care who you are! The WWE's rep really suffered for a time after the details of the Benoit death came out. Jericho talks about it in his second book.
I remember the Owen Hart tribute. Now THAT was special. Everybody breaking kayfabe giving their own thoughts and reflections on Owen. People from Triple H to Double J and Debra whom I think Owen was tag teamed with at the time of his death.
Yeah that was the first big one. They did another of those for Eddie, and the last one like that for Benoit.
I'm quite critical of Jarrett, but when he won the IC title almost right after Owen's death, he apparently screamed Owen's name as the title was handed to him. Its obvious he cared a lot about Owen and was hit pretty hard by his death.
I think Jeff and Owen were pretty close at the time. I remember him being visibly emotional during the tribute show as well.
I just randomly watched a TNA Bound for Glory 2006 match featuring Sting Vs Jeff Jarrett in a Career Vs Title match and actually ended up enjoying it. I was shocked, lol. Kurt Angle was the Special Guest Enforcer (I'm assuming that this is near when he first jumped over).
I know that was before he divorced Karen...what does that have to do with my post though?
Maybe Timothy is a savant of some kind and this is his thinking process. Thinking of Karen and Kurt's divorce helped give him a timeframe of when all this transpired on TNA.
