When he took the mask off (with back to the camera), I said, "His hair's 
coming off with it."  To anyone who has seen a face that really has been 
burned, that makeup looked very fake.  They did a good job, though, of 
doing his hair line (although I wonder how much of that is natural hair 
loss).  He looked a hell of a lot older than I thought he is, but that 
might be because of the hair and makeup.

At first, I thought that Austin was booking a Storm-Jericho match.  If 
he had done that, and both of them had been allowed to work at full 
potential, it would have been a match-of-the-year contender.

I agree that Storm-Jericho should make a solid tag team, and would 
definitely look forward to seeing them go up against those French 
Canadians (even if they are pretending to be French).  Could there be a 
face turn in store for Storm and Jericho?

Well, it certainly killed Mack's heat dead in its tracks.

I just wonder whether last night was the beginning of Long's swan song.

Nah, no more 3 min warning, even if they do a face/Austin turn.  Let's 
see where they take this Rico-Jackie thing.  Right now, it looks like a 
popinjay version of Noble-Nidia.

Rumor is that he'll drop it to Goldberg at the next RAW-brand PPV (or 
joint PPV, whichever comes first).
