I noticed Shane McMahon was at RAW for the Vegas tribute that opened the show, minus any other Smackdown star. Is this a sign he is doing more than just on-air talent?

I wouldn’t take it that way.  To me it just meant that he owns a lot of stock in the company and was representing himself and the family in support of my city.  I appreciate that.  Living in Las Vegas, all I can tell you is that it meant a lot to me personally.  My city has had a rough week.

I was wondering, does the WWE own the rights to call a match a "War Games" match or can other companies use that name?  Same question for the Royal Rumble or Hell in the Cell.  Can the WWE copyright those match type names?  I have seen War Games matches and indy promotions promoting a Royal Rumble like match in the past just curious.

Yep, they can trademark names of those kinds of matches.

Is it me or does Shane McMahon look 'bigger’?

Shane is definitely very thickly muscled.  He is a big dude.

I have noticed, and wondered, why it is that when a stipulation is announced, it aways seems to benefit the heel? I mean when Shane announced the stip of his match, did he really think it was to his advantage? It seems custom made for KO!

If I am Shane and I want to really hurt Kevin Owens for what he did and said, I would want him inside the Cell.  I can see that Shane’s character would think that.  It’s not a stretch to me.

What are your thoughts on ending two consecutive RAW shows with a cruiserweight talking segment?  Is it serving to elevate the cruiserweights at all?  Or is it more a case of the cruiserweights, Enzo in particular, bringing the main event segment down?

I have taken it to mean that WWE knows that the third hour is the hardest one for them to get an audience.  Plus, they know that Monday Night Football tends to come back from half time then.  So, they are getting what they feel is the important stuff done earlier in the show.
