I hear voices in my head.....

So I know I promised a bunch of stuff to you guys, but I gotta stop for a second and discuss the WWE. Tonight was the return of Vincent Kennedy McMahon! I missed half of the show in going to my sister's game. But I came back and caught Cryme Tyme beating the two doofi for a shot to fight for the Tag straps. They did something with Melina, but I missed it while I marveled at her bosomness staying in her top.
Then they finished with Vinnie Mac. So they bring out Jericho and he appeals to Vince for his job back. Vince brings out the princess and she tells Jericho to apologize to her. Then to the fans. Y2J got on his knees after the fans asked and begged for their mercy. Then Jericho was told by the Princess to leave the ring as the fans told him exactly what they think of him.
This ladies and gentlemen is when, as the like to say, business picked up. Randy Orton's music hit and he made his way to the ring. He told Steph that she needs to apologize to him for slapping him unnecessarily. He went on to call her names, then daddy told her to leave the ring. Vinnie confronted Rando and told him to apologize or lose his job. Randy went nuts and told VKM that the WWE would be nothing and nowhere without him and Vince should choose his words carefully. Vince started with his two famous words, You're...only to be cut off with a right from Orton. Randy then punted Vince in the head.
I loved this move on multiple levels. First, they have another means to get Vince off TV until WrestleMania. Second, everyone that Vince has feuded with has been the face. They took the opportunity to change Randy into the greatest heel they've had in a long long time. His psychosis has been growing for so long that this was the next logical step.
The first one out to Vince's side was Steph. I was openly rooting for him to punt her next. But what they did confused me. They had Randy being remorseful. I don't get it. You have the chance to elevate a guy to a level that you haven't had in a long time. You have the ultimate face in John Cena. You have the former most hated man (Vince), who just came out to a big pop. This to me seemed the chance to take this shit to the next level. In the past, I've given my opinion as to what I would have done. And today will be no different.
I have Randy punt Vince, then kick Steph next. Randy goes nuts in the ring keeping everyone out who attempted to come to their aid. Only Cody and Teddy can calm him to the point of getting him out the ring. Next week, the night after the Rumble, John Cena comes out and addresses the beating he unleashed on JBL. Then he moves on to Randy Orton. Even though Vince has screwed a number of wrestlers over the years. [Pause and everyone chants Bret Hart's name.] He tells Randy that Vince is a necessary evil and were it not for Vince, none of them would have their chance to be the superstars that they are. Kind of reiterating what it is that Vince told Randy about Cowboy Bob.
Now you've got this rehashed storyline [Cena vs. Orton] but with a fresh twist. Start a rift in the locker room. There are those that side with John Cena, maybe some you wouldn't expect. There are those that side with Randy Orton, again some you wouldn't expect. So you go to No Way Out with a gimmick match where in you have the anti-VKM guys and the anti-Orton guys. You could even cross brand it and that's how you begin to bring HHH back to Raw. You make it so it's a six man Elimination Chamber match. Winner gets a shot at Cena at WMXXV. Now you have crossed allegiances, who's really behind the cause and who's just looking for a title shot. It's a good way to get Orton and Cena in one ring without them actually touching leading into WMXXV. Then Randy wins and gets his shot at Cena in the main event in Houston.
