Norfolk, Virginia
The show starts off with Matt Striker on color commentary, which is a great idea. Striker is a solid heel and has remarkable promo skills, and it is a great idea to put him in the commentary slot to complement the rather bland Todd Grisham. (Give him time.) WWE needs a solid heel/face commentary team like the good old days of Ross and Lawler. Since Lawler is getting older and nearing the end of his career, Vince McMahon probaly wants him to go out as a fan favorite, but these days people cheer for whomever they want, good guy or not. The heel/face combo adds extra entertainment value.
