Usually for a month or two after Wrestlemania, i lose interest in the angles since well, they usually suck. look at the Undertaker/scsa angle. sucked terribly. My god, the TLC match was very kick arse. this week's RAW and Smackdown are just too kick arse. might be because Jericho has been in both main events (finally have him in the Main event )

finally they are getting back on the ball.

From what I have read, Paul Heyman is responsible for this week's change in direction.

It definitely was a good week to be a wrestling fan though.

Holy crap!--did D-Von take a nasty accidental hit from the twist of fate? He looked like he really dropped on his head and the ref was tending to him quite delicately.

And the Hardys always rock (matt taking a suplex from over the ladder! )

Every week, we are told how "this Smackdown! will be the greatest one in the history of our sport!!!" Last night, they finally made good on that promise. My God, Raw and Smackdown! were awesome this week!

Agreed. This week was terrific. And you have to figure the TLC was NOT in the plans for Smackdown; I'd imagine they were planning something w/ SCSA & HHH, but due to the injury, they had to throw something together AND make it compelling enough not to lose viewers still high off RAW.

Also, no confrontation btwn Shane and Angle. Are they scrapping that so they can elevate Angle to team w/ SCSA?

Well it sucks to hear about HHH, but with Vince anouncing it.. I just don't trust vince, and why would they really anounce it like that? Usually when it comes to injuries, they play them off with a screw job or someone "hurting" someone else to push them. Now imagen what kind of push would be to who ever would have been the one that "took out" HHH. that would be a push beyond the call of duty. But they decided to come out and say so. look at all the other injuries. Scotty's injury was played out as angle did it, same with Hardcore holly. it adds a sort of push when a wrestler takes out the other. and with HHH being the biggest Heel in the WWF, it would have made one hell of a Face push. they could have even done the backstage attack to explain in. bummer about HHH, but atleast Jericho getting the main eventing, finally.
was a real pleasure to see the events this week,

I'm thinking this has something to do with that "INVASION" PPV they are planning....I think RAW should start the culmination...
