New Raw GM? Bret Hart!

Not only is Bret Hart not going away, he has been made the new GM of Raw. Well, there are a few good things from that. First, guest host crap should be less worse now. Second, Bret Hart will probably not be "wrestling" as much now. He should not have been in matches in the first place, but at least now he has a role that will see him facing people less. Third, he vacated the U.S. Championship.

R-Truth defeated Miz to win the vacated title. About time R-Truth won a title since coming back to the WWE. He is popular and entertaining in the ring. The WWE seemed interested to push him for a while now, but giving him the title will make that easier. I do feel bad for Miz. Loss after loss. They had built him up so well a long time ago. I am not saying they are undoing him. He lost in a good match and had promo time before the match. I just hope they find something for him. As for the title itself, I think it would have been more creative to prolong a feud until the PPV to crown a new Champion. Do something like they did for the Diva's Championship, only not kill the hype in favor of Smackdown's Trish Stratus.

Back to Bret Hart. Vince McMahon does still run things, right? All the reports about them killing his character off aside, even if it was possible to wipe him out of history without faking another death, he is still the figurehead. Just like the WWE continues to bring up Trish Stratus's name as some kind of diva goddess every other woman must strive to be like, Vince is still being brought up. Sooner or later, he will return. I am anticipating some kind of good swerve. In terms of storyline, what evil motivation led to Vince allowing Bret to be GM? This may not come to fruition for a while, if at all, but I guess that is what will keep viewers tuning in.
