Sounds like a good show, I just wish Jericho wouldn't get tossed around by a fucking rookie... Too fuckin' bad it was Steph that was the GM... Gee I wonder which writer gave her this role?? And they're doing the same thing with HHH and the Rock as they are with Austin... Austin was a 'free agent' and signed with whoever he wanted, and now they are going to do the same thing over again just this time at Vengeance with HHH? Pfffftt...
And I swear I don't have a gun...
