I could write a lot about Santino's segment on RAW tonight, including how nasty his cut lip, or should I say cheek, was, but the one thing that stood out for me was: boy Mike Knox looked terrible. Don't you think?

Last night's ECW was devoted entirely to qualifying matches for their championship scramble at Unforgiven. Usually shows like this lack the interest of a normal wrestling show because of the absence of title matches, continue feuds, skits etc.  But this episode worked because the matches were very good. The Matt Hardy/Morrison match was excellent, fairly long and got the crowd pumping. The Miz/Bourne match was shorter but still very entertaining, with some great spots. I was one who doubted the Miz but he has really improved. The Chavo/Dreamer was match good and Finlay/Knox was was very good and furthered their feud. So overall, very positive for a show that could have been very boring. I'm sure those whose long for endless comedy skits, weapons and catch phrases would disagree, but it was a very good night to see wrestling. We need these types of shows every once in awhile.

On a quick side note, in case anyone didn't hear John Cena was at the arena last night just a couple of hours after neck surgery. Check out the story on WWE.com  and you'll find a nice quote from HHH about this. No matter what you think of Cena this shows a lot about his character and his passion for this business. It also is a good thing for the younger wrestlers to see. Any surgery can be risky, but especially neck and spinal ones, just ask Arn anderson. The fact that Cena went to be backstage at the Smackdown taping, a show he is not even a part of, speaks volumes about him.

I had the opportunity to see Jonathan Coachman on ESPN the other day and I must say he seemed quite nervous. Either that or he has trouble reading off of a teleprompter. Wait a minute, a teleprompter, does that mean sports highlight shows are scripted? Oh my God, the illusion is shattered. Maybe Coach just needs someone yelling instructions in his earpiece and then he'd be all right.

I'm finding it really hard to watch William Regal since his return from suspension. Don't get me wrong, he can still perform and I know he's probably trying to cover up his softening midsection as a result of not being able to use what ever he was using and I am  a fan. BUT I can't stop thinking that he's wearing the same bathing suit every 75 year old retired woman in Florida is wearing. I mean, I think my grandmother has that same exact design. Does anyone else get that feeling?

Yes it is a sad day for all fans, Braden Walker has been released. Aside from two sloppy boring matches,a couple of awkward promos and being 35 pounds overweight, what went wrong? It's hard to believe that just 3 or 4 years ago this guy looked like he had a future as a singles wrestler.
