The only thing I'm praying for is that Vlad Kozlov is here tonight to destroy McGruber as promised.
If there aren't many people around tonight...it's a good thing, because they will have an ample amount of time to build up Swagger for an
entire show.
...and then job him out to HHH at the end of it.
Ha, nah...although this creates quite the quandry in creating the tag match I figured they were going to make tonight using the promoted Bret
appearence, with all the principals in Europe still. I guess they could always do it for Smackdown...Bret on Smackdown would be pretty interesting.

WWE.com is now reporting that Smackdown will be invading Raw tonight.
I might have to watch this one to see what they do. One would hope since there is little time for writing that we might see some good wrestling
matches tonight for a change.

This sucks. I was really content to skip RAW tonight and avoid all that terrible MacGruber shit that sucks to all fucking hell on SNL and can only be
worse on RAW. But now SD on RAW is kind of intriguing.
God I fucking wish the Guest Host nonsense would die.

Wait, so the RAW guys were in Ireland on Friday night?
It takes a grand total of 45 minutes to get from Ireland back to England on a ferry to Liverpool. From Liverpool to Dover (driving really slowly) is
about 8 hours. Dover to Calais in France is 2 hours. Once they are in France they can take any number of high speed trains to Southern Europe and
catch a flight to the US.
If they left Belfast at 10am on the Saturday morning, they would have travelled for around 14 hours (some of it in luxurious comfort) and then flew
back to the States by Sunday morning (due to the timezone differences).
It's really much harder than they made it, it could have been like the olden days where wrestlers used to drive to towns and talk to each other
instead of playing on their iPhones. Hell, they would have driven through Andre the Giant's home village (if they were catching a flight from
the Med), and some of the world's nicest driving countries.

You know what would be awesome? If the people running WWE tonight were NOT Vince McMahon, saw the cast of MacGruber were guest hosting, and used to
that to manage to get Val Kilmer and Powers Boothe to serve as the main characters for tonight's Raw. That would be pretty cool.
Everything about this girl is awesome. She's hot, she got kicked out of school for sucking too many dicks, she takes it in the ass and her body
gives itself abortions. -Punker on Lilly Allen's Miscarriage

I'm sure WWE is far from the only business dealing with these problems and the countries are probably filled with people taking such trips
making traffic hell and possibly leading to roads closing so that regular business can continue. Not to mention that buses and similar vehicles
needed to transport all these people are being rented out. Then if you do make it you have millions of people chartering flights and buying extra
tickets to try and get where they need to be. I'm sure WWE did everything it could do to get home. But I'm also sure it wasn't
nearly as simple as driving south and finding an open airport.

Well, the motorways in the UK were no worse than they usually are. Getting from Belfast to France is really pretty easy, especially if you are using
the Stena Line superfast ferry thingy. Hell, even if you aren't after watching WWE for a few years, I'm pretty sure that Cena could stand
on the Giant's Causeway and FU half of the roster into England from there.
The Chunnel (Eurostar) from London to Paris was more packed than usual, but far from at a standstill. It's only about 20 miles (IIRC) across
the English Channel, they could have used the Big Show as a raft.
