I thought it was alittle early, particularly as they seemed to say that 
they'll look at why and how she died.

With some of the things currently going on I could see Vince trying a 
"kinder gentler" version of it.

And you KNOW Vince Russo's chomping at the bit to get the money to do it.

It'll at least have to wait until Luger's out of the legal doghouse.

I think Coach got dropped from RAW as just about everyone I've heard 
thinks his performance wasn't up to the job and a permanent three-man 
booth is too much.  He still has one of the syndicated shows though.

I enjoyed the segment too, especially how Lawler's "let me fight for 
JR's job" came off as spontaneous.

God help him.  He seemed to be on a real good path when he repackaged 
himself for about a month before he joined the RTC, where he and 
everyone concerned seemed to go downhill.  Things got worse when he 
returned and the best that WWE Creative could do was put him back in the 
  Porn Star gimmick he'd left but calling him "The Big Valboski".

Lots of bad blood there.  It'll be interesting to see what happens.
