There is no Opening Segment this week due to horrible scheduling both on my part, and on my job’s. There will be an article up later this week, though, when I get enough time to write it. It’ll be a good read.
1) Chris Jericho did not come back to WWE on 10/29’s RAW. I attended this event and it was the most boring thing that I’ve done in my life. The atmosphere sucked, as it was based on 10 Year Old DX Fans and John Cena Fans. It was atrocious.
2) Rikishi is done with TNA. Scott Hall is back at TNA, and Booker T will debut.
NEWS

Necro has apparently officially quit IWA-MS.
