The Stories
– Bully Ray, Austin Aries, Hulk and Brooke Hogan get into it once again. Bully Ray wanted a match with Aries that he said he would hold the show hostage. Hulk says that nobody will bully him around, but Brooke comes in between her father and her boyfriend? I am not sure that is what we are calling him or not yet. Anyways, Hogan finally makes the match happen, and this was just a preface to the encounter on Sunday. Will Hulk actually get involved is what I have been thinking about all day. I really hope he doesn't, but it would be a great twist if Brooke did something to cause the match to make a wrong turn. Let this be about her, especially since she is still stuck in deciding what she is even doing. I loved Aries and Ray just sitting in chairs arguing, as the clever and intelligent side of both men made it work to perfection. Grade: B+
– I enjoyed seeing Mickie James get a chance on the microphone to hype her match. Velvet Sky comes out to interrupt and reminds everyone who she is. She teases 2013 as being her year. It was very logical and simple for all three of these Knockouts to get a chance on the piece to talk. I know Tara and James will put on a great show.
