That's the most recent Singh match I can find and yes I know Bob Sapp isn't exactly the type of guy to get a good match out of someone but still. I will say Singh has hardly aged a day in his whole career, which is impressive since he's been in wrestling since the 1970s.
You. . .are insane. Lawler's quality has gone down as a commentator because he is being forced into a role that he isn't particularly good at - face commentator. His heel commentary with Jim Ross was beyond excellent. What folks don't realize is the commentators call what VINCE wants them to call; if Vince doesn't want Lawler acknowledging the jeers, he doesn't focus on the jeers. Just the way it goes.
Beyond excellent? He ruined an entire era of matches by yelling "puppies." He was an awful wrestler from the start imo (but I never liked the southern wrasslin' style, and could never stand the Honky Tonk man either) and I literally can't think of a single time where I enjoyed his commentary, or his stupid in ring hosting during the attitude era.
I'd put Lawler/Ross at their best (which wasn't a string of months) against any broadcasting duo (including Monsoon and Heenan). As for Lawlers work in the ring, there's a laundry list of great rivalries that Lawler had that I suppose if someone who wasn't familiar with his work outside of WWF/WWE would certainly think "Who is this joker?" His "puppies" routine in the late 90's/early 2000's unfortunately put a stain on what had been up to that point a pretty excellent broadcasting career with McMahon and Ross. Even when he was forced into the ring (his "match" against Shawn Michaels where he still called commentary for example), he still managed to put on a damn excellent show.
But that's the great thing about YouTube, you can absolutely peer into the past and check out what some of these guys were doing in their "primes".

I wish I could find a video of this.
Apparently at TNA's India show they had Steiner go on a rampage through the crowd. People were scattering around him and he started climbing to the second level like he was King Kong. It just sounds too insane to be true but if it is. That video is going to be pure gold.
Eh. Glad Jericho is back, but bast returns have shown that the face Jericho only lasts so long. Just start him out as a heel for goodness sake and lets get it going.

He is a heel. That was not a face return.

Would never work. He would, by default, at least start as a face for the opening five minute ovation. Then he'd get on the mike and insult the crowd.
EDIT: Never mind. He doesn't even have to do that.
I don't think Jericho is a face. Faces don't begin the end of the world.
In other RAW news, I am enjoying the buddy cop vibe John Cena and Ryder have going on. And when Kane finally takes out Ryder in an attempt to turn Cena to the dark side, I will enjoy that too. Between that angle, the hilarious Miz/Truth segments, and Punk/Ziggler's shenanigans, I am already sold on the Rumble.

Brodus Clay was amazing. I thought he was just going to be another big man destroyer, but the Funkosaurus from Planet Funk is great stuff and I'm sold.
Swagger vs. Punk was awesome and I really liked the mat wrestling that started the match.
I don't know how I feel about the ending. The Ryder segments took too long at the end. They were good throughout the show, but Kane should have gotten there right away. I'm not a fan of the choke thing he keeps doing to Cena. Just tombstone him, that's way more badass.
Count me in the opposite category. I didn't like it when The Godfather did it, and it sucks now. Clay has just guaranteed he'll be mid-carding (or worse). Plus, Lauranitis's comments about Clay prior to his debut doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense now. Just a bomb overall.

I don't think I even care about Kane/Cena anymore. The gimmicks (ring hell, ryder stalking) just sort of fall flat and are too obviously failed attempts at supernatural stunts.
Brodus Clay was NUTS. I wonder if that was the plan all along. I wonder if they realized they didn't have room for another ruthless monster character, and then someone went into the back bin of unused gimmicks and brought out Funkasaurus. Either way, great way to get around their problem, wrestling needs a couple more characters to remind people that it's fun and embraces the inherent silliness of the genre. He's not doomed to midcard hell -- just look at Dolph Ziggler, former male cheerleader -- but he won't be main eventing for a while.
It appears WWE will be pushing the Network debut back until the Fall of 2012, according to a report by PWInsider.com. WWE had been targeting April 1st, the same day as WrestleMania 28, as the launch date.
It is believed that WWE won't have the the complete infrastructure prepared and that a launch on WrestleMania day would be a devastating risk to the Network's success.
Despite the delay, projects that were being produced such as the "Legend's House" reality show will still go on to be produced as planned.

At first I was highly skeptical and completely "WTF is this?!". Then I saw how much fun Brodus was having in the ring and softened. When he followed up his big suplex with a "my bad!", I was pretty much sold.
I'm still skeptical of the Funkasaurus thing; I've seen it suggested that he might do a different old gimmick each week (since that one came right from Ernest Miller, or at least the theme did). Meanwhile, I'm wondering if it's not just Laurinaitis saddling Brodus with a crazy/stupid gimmick, and he gets fed up.
On top of all that, given the response, I wonder if he might not get over enough with this that they decide to keep it on him for a while...

I did wonder if Brodus was being set up for a "new" gimmick every week but frankly he got one of the largest reactions of the night from that awful, awful crowd so even if he was planned to refersh next week they might keep him that way.

When Kane played peek-a-boo from behind the door at the beginning of the show, I was trying to will, with every fiber of my being, Kane to start going "QUACK QUACK QUACK"

My first thought as well. They really need to put more time between their backstage stalking bits.

Sorry, that's what I meant to say. Re-reading that last line, I guess I sort of implied the opposite, but yes, exactly.

It's a risky move, but an interesting one, and we'll see if this pays off into great heel heat or anti-climax.

Unless... unless they just replaced it with a blatant King Hippo gimmick.
That would be okay, I think.
that was the best moment. I laughed so hard.
