R.I.P Captain Lou Albano. By all accounts, a good guy and as far as pop cultural captains go he was right up there with Captain Kirk, Captain Crunch and Captain Kangaroo. Famous not for, as some of you youngsters might think, being an Albino but for breaking into pop culture in a big way in the '80s. He was part of WWF's jump in the mainstream. He also appeared in several Cindy Lauper videos when she was at the height of her career. He was 76. Not bad. The world needs more people with rubber bands pierced to their face.

 I just wanna have fun with that girl.

When I was in sixth grade, I had to stay home from school a few weeks with a bad bout of bronchitis. At that time, my mother watched Days of Our Lives. I got hooked for awhile. I'm now a man quickly nearing middle age and I happened to catch a few minutes of Days of Our Lives the other day. It's the same people having the same problems. Even Stefano is still there. That's a lot like watching RAW right now. Except instead of Stefano we have DX.

Oh bragging rights, bragging rights. Don't we all love them? A seven vs. seven cluster of a good time. At least Jericho is on TV because of it. If this match is, however, about one show being able to claim it's better than the other one then I don't see how that benefits WWE at all. Who wants to promote a wrestling program with this line, “Hey everybody. Watch our inferior show too!”

It looks like they may be splitting up Jericho and Big Show. At the very least, they're going to hint about it for awhile. I don't know how I feel about it. Ask me in a week or so. I do know that I don't like the catalyst of it being HHH making a few transparent remarks about who is the boss of the tag team. That just makes everyone, including the audience, look stupid. I don't like to look stupid. Don't make me look stupid, Vince. You wouldn't like me when I look stupid.

Next week, Snoop Dog as host of RAW. That might actually be fun, but look for WWE to make a lot of corny pot jokes. Cena will probably make one about pot AND poop. Otherwise, bring on the hos.

Do we really believe this next match is going to be it between Cena and Orton? We can only hope.

Linda McMahon is billing herself as a fiscal conservative. I get it now. Vince doesn't like paying a high rate of taxes. I understand, Vince. I really do. Times must be hard. She's also using the old Democrats are trying to kill senior citizens trick. Look, I'm not trying to spout my political views here. They have little place, normally, in a wrestling column but reading Linda McMahon's blog is hilarious. She could be on a liberal or conservative side and it wouldn't matter. Whenever I read her political stuff, I can't stop thinking, “This is Linda Freakin' McMahon” and it cracks me up. She's also, apparently, “a political outsider” who can “shake up the system.” This is like every bad political cliché used over and over. Good read.
