Figures punisher would make the two points that I'm going to argue.
-Ric Flair can still wrestle, but to be honest I wasn't sure what kind of shape he was going to be in. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised, he looked a lot better than he did before his hiatus. I hope they keep this "lose and you're fired" thing going until WM23, and let him go out in style in a loss to someone like HHH or Shawn Michaels (or maybe even Jericho).
-Austin isn't saving us from anything for one. He's R-E-T-I-R-E-D. Secondly Santino may not be the next Stone Cold (and I have absolutely no clue where that comparison was drawn from- someone's, ahem, behind maybe?), but we most definitely don't need to be saved from him. He's becoming one of the best mic workers in the biz, and his wrestling skills have also been improving. I loved the promo battle between him and Jericho and I hope we get to see that mic working tandem more (maybe Santino can cut Randy's promos for him- anything to get RKO off the mic).
-Oh and that Hornswoggle scene with Carlito was horrible. I guess they're trying to get Horny over with the younger fans, but to pull a BS stunt like that is annoying, and insulting to anyone over 5 years old. I hope they don't make a habit of putting garbage like that on RAW.
-Anyone else pleasantly surprised by Jericho's return match? I thought he would be pretty rusty after two years of inactivity, but apparently his pre-return wrestling workouts paid off. The only thing that I didn't like was "The Codebreaker". It just seems like a cheap combination of GTS and the Backstabber. Give me the Walls of Jericho over that anyday.
