Santino, Santino, Santino. Santino Marella is a revelation. His push the last month has been amazingly entertaining. He is the most entertaining part of WWE's most entertaining angle right now. And he's having good matches, his cage match with Jack Swagger was clearly MOTW this week, with Swagger playing an adequate straight-man to Santino's antics. I really, really hope they keep Santino near the top of the midcard for a while. I don't think it's out of the question for him to even move up the card, with good in-ring work and great character work, why not?
One other quick note on that cage match: Wow it looked like Vickie really nailed Swagger with that cage door. He managed to have his head in just the right spot to get brained by the steel bar on the edge of the door instead of the flexy chain-link mesh. You don't really see headshots like that in WWE anymore, thankfully, though Jack Swagger has a history on the receiving end of them.
- Teddy Long is still totally owning this GM storyline. Johnny Ace is a great stuffed shirt character, but I love T.Lo with a bit of attitude. He's also now undefeated in in-ring competition, having twice defeated the Raw GM: Eric Bischoff at Survivor Series 2005 and John Laurinaitis tonight.
- AJ is now my favorite participant in the Sheamus-Daniel Bryan feud. Her expressions during promos are fucking golden. Bryan's promos are still really good, but they're not as good as her reactions. The way she looked abashed and ashamed when Bryan told her to shut up was spot-on perfect. I really hope that when they eventually decide to break them up, they do a whole storyline where Kaitlyn does an intervention or something.
- Not my favorite part of the feud: New and improved Sheamus, now with more misogyny! Daniel Bryan is a pathetic little pipsqueak, BTW don't be a bully be a star! Oy tonight was not a good night for Sheamus.
- Mark Henry beat the hell out of Ezekiel Jackson. I'm a big fan of Mark Henry beating the hell out of people.
- Whatever they're doing with Drew McIntyre, I wish they'd do it already. I'm a fan of the guy, but this whole trying to save his job thing is getting old.
