Teddy Long is ok as a choice for now as GM, from what I read he definitely seems more face in his first week, though, but whether it stays that way we'll just have to wait and see.

And I think Spike as CW champion will be a good long title run for him, at least I hope. He's got something now to keep him happy and his mind off Bubba and D-Von at least until he loses the belt again, probably back to either Rey or Chavo, but I could see Noble taking it from him, though, too...

The whole Booker winning the US Championship thing could be setting up a program at SS where "Da Booker-man" would have to defend against RVD and/or Cena in a singles or, hopefully, if Vince has any sense left at all in a week or 2, a triple threat match.

And, finally I hate to be real picky, but aren't "Elimination Matches" essentially just good ol' Battle Royals, like they used to call them...I mean, I know the point is it's a match where the last person left who isn't eliminated wins, but they just called them Battle Royals for the longest time and since GAB (6/27/4) they've been calling the damn things "Elimination Matches"????

Makes no sense to me, they need to just go back to calling these matches what they are: BATTLE ROYALS! They can call a 20-man #1 contender for the WHWC match on RAW a "20-Man Battle Royal" but on SD! when it's the same exact rules and only 8 men are involved, it just hasta be an ELIMINATION MATCH? Talk about conflicted
