Brining the Undertaker back faster than they expected with a major title change is probably the best thing they can do right now, given the weakness of the Smackdown roster. And Undertaker as champion certainly makes the fans happy, and he has a natural program with Orton, who has a natural program with Battista when he gets better.

The 3-way would work better with Orton-Undertaker-Battista, though. Wait and see - there will be reports from the taping tonight online this evening.

In any event, I don't think anyone in the front office has either the clarity of mind or the stones to tell any McMahon "Excuse me, Eddie died today, and your solution is having THE UNDERTAKER go over with the WWE Championship tonight is really awful."

I tell everyone I know to NEVER work in a family business!

I think its the kind of thing that people on the outside (us) can see with clarity, but that those close to the situation (management at WWE) won't see until it's too late.

Good taste was never a trait associated with Vince McMahon Jr. I remember several years ago when Brian Pillman died suddenly just before the taping for Monday Night RAW (the circumstances were similar to this situation with Eddie Guerrero). They acknowledged Pillman's death at the beginning of the program. Vince then said, "be sure to stay tuned for a very special interview with the wife of the late Brian Pillman". This was repeated several times throughout the broadcast, each time cutting away to a shot of Mrs. Pillman sitting there waiting to be interviewed. Vince saw it as an opportunity to keep people from switching over to WCW Nitro. I thought it was disgraceful to use this as a gimmick to keep people tuned in until the end of the program, at which time the interview finally took place. Vince McMahon has no conscience.
