Jon Stewart is a natural. Excellent promo, timing, and ring awareness, plus the way he escaped the ring was great. So smooth, unlike many outsiders coming in to the wrestling world.
Paul did a good job waddling backward up the ring ramp, the distinct look of a man trying to ease his way out of public view to take a massive crap.
He also had a ton of venom flowing for his spot tonight. And you gotta wonder if at first the mic cutting out on him was indeed a glitch, since Lillian walked over and swapped her mic for his.
I think he should just shave the hair off the sides of his 'bean' as JBL called it later on, and just be done with it. That'd leave more greasy kid stuff for Reigns (who worked his butt off and deserved that pinfall on Roman)
Other thoughts:
Tripe H 'Firing' Booker T...then saying he was just illustrating what power is...while that was pretty much an a-hole move for him, the fact he dropped some compliments on Booker in return was awesome. Wish I had WWE Network to see the Booker T special, but if they follow suit, it'll be at Best Buy in the 6.99 cutout bin in less than a month anyway.
Tyson Kidd - Natty. Will they just fucking break the two up on screen already? Geez. I grinned when they came to the ring though, and while Kidd was up on the turnbuckle doing a 'look at me' moment, Cesaro aimed a Shawn Michaels style double finger point at Natalya.
Intercontinental Title - This is starting to get funny. Instead of guys coming out and putting themselves in the match by 'declaration' for the IC title in the ladder match at WM, they are trading the thing back and forth like it's the mid 90's Hardcore title. Luke Harper, R-Truth, Dean Ambrose, Bad News Barrett, Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan. Six hard working fellows there that could all use the push.
Diva's division - So AJ is back, and looking smaller than before. Did she actually shrink while she was away? I know she took some shots at Steph about the pay and air time for the Diva's divison, especially after last week's less than a minute tag match, but......and putting her back in a semi-alliance with Paige? I love the way before she was even in the ring the C. M. Punk chants filled the arena. Sweet stuff.
Hall of Fame inductee - I had to mark out when Alundra Blayze/Medusa was announced as making the Hall this year. Just...woohoo!
For those who may not be following WWE at the moment (I understand...I just couldn't sleep last night) here's the inductees for 2015 thus far:
Rikishi The Bushwhackers (or as I remember them, The New Zealand Sheepherders from WCW) "Macho Man" Randy Savage Arnold Schwarzenegger Alundra Blayze
A pretty good crop thus far, with Madness as the crown jewel. Wonder if Alundra is going to be able to take time off from the Monster Truck circuit (she has been driving a truck called Medusa)

I am seriously amused with the Intercontinental Championship situation. The whole segment during the Ambrose vs. Barrett match had me laughing. The best part was Luke Harper behind the commentary table.
Truth: "Is there a big scary white dude behind me?
JBL: "Yeah, there is."
Truth: "What's he want?"
JBL: "I dunno. Something about you."
Truth: "But, we're just sitting here having a conversation."
JBL: "I'm not even looking at you."
It was a hilarious "you're on your own" moment, lol
That whole story is a lot of fun. Shocking that they're inducting Madusa, after the shit she pulled. They were justifiably pissed at her for a long time. Still, her involvement in one of the biggest moments in the Monday Night War alone makes her a no-brainer choice for the Hall. Good for her.
