Haas Hogan!

Holy crap, a 26-minute match on ECW!

Never thought I'd see Lenny Lane on WWE television.

I don't much care for the new DX graphic overlays they've used since the switch to HD. It needs more grainy stripper videos and bridge demolitions.

I personally wouldn't have minded a Haas/Khali tag team. Gives both guys something to do and adds depth to the tag division.

Khali face turn? I hope so.

Yes, though not in the way you'd think. Iron Mike DiBiase was Ted DiBiase Sr.'s stepfather, not his biological father. However, The Million Dollar Man's mother was Helen Hild, herself a wrestler in the first half of the 20th century.

Kane just punted Rey's head into the fifth row.

Manu is only the 2nd Samoan wrestler I've seen who not only talks, but SELLS getting hit in the head. I thought all Samoan wrestlers were supposed to have really hard heads.

That interaction is begging for an awesome sneak attack spot by a heel. I liked when Hurricane put his mask on a kid in the front row, then Ric Flair ran up and tore it off the kid's head. EDIT: Wow, Evan Bourne is getting the CM Punk 'face of ECW' push, isn't he?

In all seriousness, why don't they move Rey over to ECW? I think he'd be a better fit on that show and wouldn't get lost in the shuffle.

High-flying goodness!

I like how Rey always takes time out to interact with kids in the front row wearing his mask.

Rey looked like Ultimo Dragon coming out wearing that hood.

This is Cade's first individual mic time since he debuted in 2003, right?

I did like that little segment since it showed that heels don't necessarily have to all be best friends.

A Paul Bearer namedrop!

Nice touch pointing out how HBK has always had problems with his tag team partners.

HBK putting over Cade on the mic.

Just in time for autumn, some fresh SQUASH!

Obligatory US economy joke!

I thought the Chicago crowd was just a lot 'smarter' than normal, which would explain why people cheered Mickie because they saw what an awesome character she was, heel status notwithstanding. It would also explain why the crowd collectively drooled all over Angle and wished death on Cena. That crowd was like a caricature of the internet smarks of that era.

Presumably this is to have something to show for running a West Coast tour.

ZOMG BATSITA TO TNA TNA TNA!!1

Burchill would need to gain a few inches in height in order to recreate his FWA badass run.
