WWE:
I was wrong about the MSG Raw being a letdown. The crowd was super into the action. Kofi had a breakout performance, and there was a star studded main event.
WWE seemed intent of reestablishing MSG as their homebase as they played an awesome video montage of great MSG moments to Jay-z super song "Empire State of Mind."
Roddy Piper kind of rambled, but he had a fun segment with Vince McMahon where Piper challenged him to a match. Piper is old school and knows how to perform, so even though a match would be god aweful, he can definitely draw in a match vs. Vince. It's funny because I said that WWE is doing a horrible job of keeping Piper relevant, but I guess all you need is a good segment and that is fixed.
The highlight of the night was the Kofi Kingston brawl with Randy Orton. After Kofi originally cleared the ring, I thought it would be another dumb segment where Kofi stands in the ring but Orton backs off, but this time Kofi was super aggressive. The double legdrop was just the icing on the cake. I just hope the WWE capitalizes on this and gets some new guys in top spots. The only problem for Kofi is that after he's done fueding with Orton, there will be no other top heels exclusive to Raw that can fight.
