I'm curious. Why would they have UT return on Raw? 1..he is on the SD roster, and 2… wouldn't his return give a bigger spike to SD than it would Raw?

Raw is the company's number one show, with the biggest audience.  Plus, it was the show that aired the day after the Elimination Chamber PPV and started the "Road To WrestleMania".  WWE had Taker come back there to get the ultimate ratings pop.  So it was all about getting the most bang for their buck.

Don't you think it's odd that Sting never shot down the rumors of his jumping to WWE in recent weeks? I'm wondering if Dixie Carter knew he was going to resign, and wanted him to keep quiet and let the rumors grow so it would be "THE MOST SHOCKING TNA MOMENT EVER!!!" when he eventually returns.

I don't think it's odd at all.  There was no upside in him commenting.  It made more sense to let people wonder and have it take on a life of its own, like it did.  TNA just didn't maximize it the way that they could have. 

Now I'm sure there wasn't any beef between him and Vince and I'd like to think Vince is at least slightly remorseful, so is there a reason why Owen Hart hasn't been inducted into the HOF yet? In my opinion he's more than qualified, and its a shame he hasn't already been inducted.

Vince is definitely remorseful.  The main reason that Owen is not in is because his wife Martha doesn't want anything to do with WWE and Vince respects that, much like he does with Bruno Sammartino.

I like the Kurt Angle/Jeff Jarrett feud and the heat its carrying and the payoff needs to be HUGE for Kurt. Some of vignettes are dumb but, the build overall is very good. My question is do you think they are flirting with disaster because of how real the feud is some ways. I know its "story" but, there are so many real parts in it quite frankly more than about any story I have seen. But, shouldn't TNA or Jarrett watch out to not really piss Angle off to where he'll want to leave? Worth the money/over the hill or not in some eyes. I see Kurt Angle as the most believable guy in the ring because he is so credible and never disappoints in his matches from what he can control.

They are all on board with doing the angle, pun intended.  It is based on reality and legitimate hard feelings but the sides have moved on and know the difference between wrestling and reality. I just hope it stays that way!

In ROH, during the Raven and Punk feud Tommy Dreamer had gotten involved and forced Punk to drink beer. My question is why would Punk agree to drink beer if he is really straightedge or is it really just a gimmick?

He didn't drink it, it was poured across his face and he spit it out!  He really is straight edge.  He did it to sell the angle.
