When I saw Tim Kring’s name attached to the new Fox series Touch, bad memories of NBC’s Heroes came to mind. While that series fizzled after a strong start, Touch started with a far stronger premiere in a special preview airing of the pilot last night. The 13-episode season won’t begin until March 19th (and I imagine they’ll replay the pilot on March 18th) so I made sure to tune in as I’ve really missed seeing Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer each week. 

Spoilers for Fox’s new series Touch will follow.

WWE Legend, Mick Foley, returned to Raw last week mixing it up with WWE Champion C.M. Punk against Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis and even teased an appearance in this Sunday's Royal Rumble.

As we head into this year’s Royal Rumble, a night when more of the WWE roster is in the spotlight than any other, it was nice to see that last week’s Raw from Anaheim, California, had just about the right amount of everything. Instead of multiple segments dedicated to John Cena, Kane, or what’s happening on Smackdown, there was a great balance across the roster throughout the night. Let’s hope that tonight’s show from Phoenix, Arizona, can find the right recipe for the last Monday Night Raw before a big pay-per-view event.

That t-shirt was asking the same question we were last Monday as Zach Ryder and Eve attempted to flee from Kane.

Last week’s Monday Night Raw from Corpus Christi, Texas had more Kane and John Cena than you could ask for and tonight is likely to be more of the same. Last week also featured a lot of Smackdown promotion to the point where it was arguably half of the show. It’s nice to see some unfamiliar faces on Monday nights, but it seemed to come at the expense of some of the Superstars that have been carrying the show from week to week. Promotion also seemed to begin in earnest for the 25th annual Royal Rumble last week, and I expect we’ll be seeing a lot of bodies going over the top rope tonight in Anaheim, California.

Chris Jericho made a big return to WWE last week and got a lot of people talking by saying nothing.

This week’s Monday Night Raw from Corpus Christi, Texas, could be a wild one after the return of Chris Jericho last week in Memphis. That show had a lot of build up for the mysterious “return” of a Superstar after weeks of promotional videos. I don’t think anyone here came away disappointed with the revelation of Jericho, but his silence after hitting the ring choosing instead to continually play to the live crowd was the real surprise.

John Laurinaitis

The team here at MLD has been on a bit of a break for the holidays, but tonight’s Raw from Memphis, Tennessee promises to be a big night with the return of a Superstar that has been building for weeks. A lot of rumors and speculation surround this particular mystery that has come primarily in the form of YouTube videos and we’ll get to our short list of possibilities within. Last week’s show from Chicago was a mixed bag to end 2011 and we’ll get to all the major spots from last Monday’s Raw in Chicago as well.
