John eating cereal has to be a video and it would be great the first time he tries cereal he becomes addicted and gives weekly reviews on them

Impressed that (per cagematch.net), it’s actually true that HHH has never defeated Batista in a singles match.

This show was about 100 times better than Raw 25. Things actually made sense and didn’t come across as rushed just to give all the names people don’t care about 5 seconds of TV time each.

In case anyone was curious, I did catch the first episode of The Connors. Rossane was killed off after overdosing on pain killers after her surgery. It’s obviously a commentary on the opioid epidemic that is ravaging a lot of poorer communities in the US that the Rosanne show tried to reflect.

I was never a fan of the Rosanne show or the reboot. The Connors just happened to be on when I got home from the gym. Overall I was impressed with how they dealt with what must have been a difficult first episode for a comedy dealing with serious issues on camera and politics off camera.
