Hopefully that was a serious comment, Coco.
But in all honesty, I'll give credit where it's due. The storyline itself is good. The execution was shit... and I'm not referring to Storm or Roode not doing their part. TNA just didn't place the segments in the right programs or at the right times.

It was. We'd be so much better off at the moment if we could get more high profile members to set a good example and show TNA some proper deference.
The problem is that people don't see the angle for what it is. Execution, like it or not, is a huge part of presentation. If we, as viewers, don't like how it all comes together, we won't give it the credit it deserves.
But I will say this... I'm pretty impressed by the way they're going about things. This is immediately bumping both Roode and Storm to main event status. Who would have thought that all they needed was each other to get over as main event competitors?
Should we just chalk it up to bad business, then?
No. Unless you actually believe that this would have kept for six months or more and produced a measurable difference in PPV buys. And if you really think these two glorified midcarders were going to be able to sustain that much interest for so long after jaded smark types wrote them off as missed opportunities three weeks into a slow burn feud that would have been touted as predictable and over-long, you're talking nonsense. A disorienting, avant-garde spark is needed to plot this story in a manner that grabs TNA fans by the balls. This is the right move. Unfortunately, po-mo isn't for everyone. Specifically, it's not for the closed-minded.
Why exactly do you think that you are the only person allowed to determine what good storytelling is?
The story has generated a great deal of interest. I say that's good and have reasonable cause for doing so based on the reactions of others. Meanwhile, you're basing its quality on nothing but your taste. If anything, you think you're the only one allowed to determine what's good.

Dwayne Johnson's response to John Cena asking him to team with Cena at Survivor Series will open Raw.
WWE will be going heavy on the Halloween theme tomorrow, including a Divas costume contest that is in the current draft of the show.
Three Muppet Performers that I know of are scheduled for Raw - Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson and Bill Barretta, as well as some right hands (performers who operate the other arm of the Muppet while the primary performer manipulates their voice and left arm). That would mean that pretty much all the major Muppet characters except Gonzo would be available for WWE to use. I haven't heard if Dave Goelz, who portrays Gonzo was booked or not.
One segment that The Muppet performers were asked to prepare for involved Stadler and Waldforf doing commentary for a match, which I can only assume would be the Michael Cole vs. Jim Ross segment.

As noted last week, The Undertaker and Michelle McCool were visiting at the RAW Supershow in Texas. Word is that WWE officials approached McCool about returning to the ring in the near future.
- As noted earlier this month, WWE has registered to trademark the term "WWE Supercharge", apparently a new show for the Network. Word is that this will be the name for the RAW pre-show that's been planned. WWE officials have discussed a 30-minute pre-show to air before RAW every Monday night.
