Evolution pulled a WCW on us Monday night.... gee anyone smell a 6 man tag for next week?

1000 posts? man thats nuts.

Do you think Orton will get the title back and how soon? And I LOVE his new shirt!

Holy crap! Nobody probably cares about this, but Rosey finally has a new costume!! About a year too late, though. I think it would've gotten a bigger reaction if they revealed it after showing those S.H.I.Training videos.

I'm really looking forward to the HHH/Benoit Iron Man Match next week! Both men are in great shape, and they will for sure put on a hell of a match. There'll probably be outside interference from Evolution, as well as Eugene. Oh well.

Triple H in good shape? He definitely seems to have chunked up recently. When he came back off his injury a year or so ago, he was mega cut. He doesn't look as impressive now. Maybe its because he is always next to Batista. He looks downright flabby next to my man Batista.

And Rosey looks great in his new costume too.

I guess I like the toned down HHH more than the super muscle bound HHH. I figure that all that muscle had to limit some mobility in the ring, which could have an influence on how smooth the match can go. Of course, I have no idea if any of this is true, but it sounds good in my head.

And Batista is indeed a behemoth. I'd love to see him take control of Evolution. Seriously, the way he was booked against Benoit on RAW, it would make sense if he started to develop an ego, saying that he did to Benoit in 10 minutes what HHH couldn't even do in 45.

Ok guys but you have to admit when it comes to being super cut you gotta go with my man Cena. I mean he's built without being huge like Batista or Brock

True. Batista is the man! He did mop the floor with Benoit. Rather than take control of Evolution, I'd like to see him and Orton lose that excess baggage and either go their separate way or even better, form a tag team! I hate the both of them with Evolution, but love them apart from it.

In order to be a great wrestler these days and get anywhere you have to have great mic skills and get people to pay to see you.

Orton I think stands a good chance at that, in a few years he could be the next Rock.

Batista though, I don't see having good mic, he's there to beat people in submission. My call is Batista stays a mid tier guy (or tag teamer) and never truly advances. He may get a shot here and there at something but I don't see him holding anything very long.

It's like Benoit, the reason McMahon took so long to give him the belt was noone thought Benoit could handle the mic.

McMahon looks for the mic guys that can pull people into a storyline, HBK, Hogan, MachoMan (OOOOOO Yeah), Austin, The Rock, even Triple H. McMahon's looking for the next one. Again Orton maybe in a few years but Batista never will.

There's only one wrestler who lacked mic skills and has been around forever and that's Mark Calloway, The UnderTaker. But he sold his gimmick and developed a great base.

The 2 wrestlers I think McMahon has shit on and has totally ignored their talent and fan base are RVD and Jericho. Those 2 wrestlers have it all the mic, the in ring, the charisma, the great fan base that can make them babyfaces or heels in a heartbeat.

Let Jericho and RVD loose and those 2 could become as big as HBK. I could definately see Jericho being as big as anyone ever in the WWE. RVD works a little on the mic skills and cuts down the hardcore he'd be killer boxoffice. RVD I could see becoming the next Flair.

But I also think Jericho is happy where he is, wrestles a bit but has a soft schedule and can be Fozzy. I think he doesn't want to go much further than where he is.

RVD just gets shit on. I love the guy but for some reason McMahon keeps him in the background and buries him in stupid stories that go nowhere. Might be RVD is bad lockerroom politics/attitude or the big guys like HHH and others are keeping RVD down so as not to lose what they have.

I think very soon we'll see RVD in TNA and shining bright.

The few times that Batista has had a chance to speak, I think he has done a passable job. I would like to see him get a bigger push and start to develope a personality of his own away from Evolution, or even within it. As of now, he's still just playing the big and dumb enforcer role.

As for Orton, I can't stand the guy. Every time he has the mic I cringe. His line always sound rehersed and forced. He's a terrible actor and not that great of a wrestler in my opinion. He has a great body and is still young. I think that he has potential, but to compare him to the Rock on the mic is just plain wrong.

Rock was not all that great at the mic either at first. I think I compared Orton mainly because they are both 3rd generation and Rock was horrid when he first started. It wasn't until he was with "Farrooq", Owen Hart and that group (can't remember the name) that he started to develop.

Thinking about it more Orton could be the next Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect). He could be huge or he could flop. You are right though, right now, Orton is too rehearesed and needs to work on his mic energy and find something that works. I'm not a big Orton fan either , and there was only 1 Perfect. But considering who the WWE has right now Orton seems their best young shot.

Meh, I haven't really been impressed by Batista. He's just big and looks mean.

Jericho and RVD have in ring talent and charisma.



On a side note: what happened to Test and Scott Steiner? I don't miss either of them but I was wondering if they got fired or injured or what.

Test has a neck injury expected to be out for almost a year. Steiner I believe was very disliked (attitude) in the lockerroom and thought he deserved more so he was let go.

Here's a good link for great WWE and all wresting info:

N.O.D = Nation of Domination

Looks like the WWE is bringing Heidenreich (sp?) back to the front burner. I saw a commercial for him during Smackdown today. It was very reminiscent of those that ran for Brock when he first came aboard. Man do I miss Brock. I loved watching him hulk Big Show up for a big F5!!

Ah yes, and that brings to mind one of the best bits WWE ever ran.

HHH was Rock, X-Pac was Owen Hart (with a very large fake nose), and the rest of Degen-X were other members of N.O.D. and they spoofed them. It was hilarious. All HHH could say was "If ya smell what the Rock is cooking... " X-Pac would answer, "Hey with this nose it's hard not smell it." Fucking hilarious, almost as funny as Foley in the hospital with Vince and Mr. Socko.

God why can't WWE do that stuff anymore? They need to add some real fun funny stuff.

I thought it was another guy they hired to play Owen, and X Pac was Mark Henry in a fat suit?

I miss Brock too. Especially whenever he'd give the F5 to cruisers like Misterio and Moore, where they would end up completing 2 full midair spins. And don't forget the Stretch Muffler/Brock Lock!

The Brock Lock... that was painful just to look at. BRING BROCK BACK!!

<a href="http://www.wrestlingnation.com/missgalatea/bestangles_dxparody.html" target="_new">DX NOD parody</a>

Here's a good rundown of the whole thing.

Thanks Evil, that brought back a laugh and some great memories of those Monday Night Wars.

It was
Owen Hart was played by Jason Sensation.

The ending of the Iron Man match was pretty good.

However the whole diva search thing was a tremendous waste of time. I muted the TV and made food.

You really have to wonder if the whole Diva search is just a scam. I bet they already have the next Diva picked out, but they're just trying to get the T&A thing over. Sadly, it's totally turning off the audience, it seems.

Yeah, my money is on Carmella. It seems dumb to hire anyone else when an ex PMOY is among the ranks. The audience was booing everyone but her. I want her to win, so the stupid shit will be over and done with.

Upon watching RAW tonight, I noticed that Carmella wasn't as "active" as the others. She didn't seem to be shaking her stuff for the crowd like the others were. I don't ever remember seeing her work the crowd like the others. This makes me think its already been decided even more.

My money's not on Carmella. WWE probably hired her to pump up the ratings, otherwise she might take the whole thing a little more seriously.

Edit: THen again, if she KNOWS she going to win, maybe she woudln't try so hard?

They are really wasting time on Raw with this whole Diva search...I'm enjoying the T&A, but how much would it have sucked to pay for Raw, and get two matches, and the Diva bit...

I just want to add that the Summerslam commercials are excellent, and I'm looking forward to next week.

I'm sick of all the fake boobs in WWE. We need more divas like Stacy Kiebler who are naturally hot.

I guess WWE called in reinforcements in the form of Randy Orton to help out the diva search. It appears to have worked, as the crowd booed Orton and cheered the divas when he came on. As I've said before, I want Carmella to win. She is the only one that appeals to me. I'm still convinced she won too. She didn't do anything during the "sell me an ice cream cone" skit. Everyone else was frantically whoring themselves out.

Spike is an awesome dickish heel! Gotta love the pie face shove! And for once, they were actually able to utilize the "wrestler goes up top and lands on lying opponent's extended boot" spot! Usually it's someone without a signature top rope manuever, who simply jumps and lands on his feet, while taking a boot to the kisser. Spike has the double stomp off the top, so London counters by sticking out his boot!! Brilliant! I may come off as sarcastic, but I was laughing my head off because it fit so perfectly.

Any early Summerslam predictions?

Kane/Matt Hardy: Death do us part
I'm hoping Hardy lets Kane win, so he can get rid of Lita. I mean, there was a chorus of boos when he signed that contract. Pretty much everyone in the audience wanted him to just dump Lita. Otherwise, he's going to come out looking more whipped than this bowl of meringue. However, he does have surgery coming up, keeping him off RAW for 6-8 months!! =( So I'll go big and say Shawn Michaels makes his return and decapitates Kane.

Edge/Jericho/Batista: IC title
Batista all the way baby!! I love all three of them, but I gotta go with the big Deacon. Push him with the belt as the ultimate monster, and really put over the belt strong. Unless if they have Edge turn and have him and Jericho fight over the strap for a while. I've been longing for an Edge and Christian reunion!!!

HHH/Eugene:
I've been trained to believe that HHH will never lose anything, unless it's a bare knuckle brawl with Regal. Eugene gets the pin after HHH suffers Regal's Revenge.

Orton/Benoit: World Title
I've been reading a lot of rumors and news all over the place, so my head is already accepting Orton as the new Champ. I would hate to see Benoit lose the strap with such a lame buildup to the PPV. So for the sake of a better buildup and a few more Hard Knocks DVD sales, Benoit holds onto the strap, and drops it at No Mercy in a rematch.

Dudleyz/Cruisers
With Spike's new turn, I'd like to see him get as much momentum in the CW division as possible. I say Spike pins Rey after some Dudley shenanigans, setting up 2 title matches for No Mercy.

Cena/Booker
I heard this was part of a "best of _" series, ala WCW between Booker and Benoit. I'll rush it and say Booker has a nice long reign, while Cena regroups and moves on to bigger things.

JBL/Undertaker: WWE title
I'm actually starting to dig JBL, as much as I hate to admit it. He used to be my favorite wrestler as part of the APA, and now with his new Chief of Staff Orlando Jordan, I see him keeping the title at least until No Mercy, and possibly building up his "staff." Chief of Staff OJ with the distraction, and JBL with 2 huge LARIATTOOOOOOSS~~~!!!!

If Bradshaw beats Undertaker... I will vomit.

EvilBeef some interesting predictions, here's mine
+++++++++

Kane/Matt Hardy: Death do us part

I see Matt winning and dumping Lita, then going on a soul search (surgery) OR the very lame and usually very unsurprising, unoriginal twist of Lita setting Matt up and walking out laughing with Kane (ala Trish with Christian).

The first would be my preference BUT McMahon likes to go with what has always worked in the past even if it has been done to death so.... Lita turns on Matt, she's not preggers (just used that to get into Matt's head, and Matt gets "injured" and disappears.
====

Edge/Jericho/Batista: IC title

The rumors I have seen have Edge joining Evolution and Orton turning face so, another double cross prediction where Edge looks to be Jericho's friend, gets "hurt" then as Jericho is about to beat Batista Edge comes alive and beats the Hell outta Jericho then lies down for Batista and joins Evolution.
=======

HHH/Eugene:

I agree with you Regal comes back and beats HHH and helps Darsow... I mean Eugene. I also see Eugene getting hit in the head and becoming a genius. That would be another predictable twist but one I could stomach
====

Orton/Benoit: World Title

Easy prediction (if the rumors of Orton turning face are true), HHH interferes hits Orton instead of Benoit and sets up Orton's face turn and a Benoit/Orton rematch.

If the rumors are false then Orton wins with Flair's help, again setting up a rematch. But the twist is HHH expects Orton to lie down for him and Orton refuses thus Orton then becomes a face.... not much else can honestly help if McMahon is truly trying to push Orton as a star.
=======

Dudleyz/Cruisers

I agree with you... plus I truly don't find much to be excited about in this match.
=====

Cena/Booker
I can see Cena winning, Booker is looking to retire and work backstage as an agent and booker. So I see Booker losing and disappearing except for a few "filler" matches. Cena is another big bucks prospect and McMahon is cleaning out a lot of the old timers for the new guys so...
======

JBL/Undertaker: WWE title

Taker all the way. McMahon owes Big Mark Calloway bigtime for not leaving when everyone else went to WCW. People love the Taker and it gives him one last hurrah before he drops the belt to someone like Cena and retires.
====

There's my predictions and opinions.

I will say this the WWE needs this to be a big seller and really grab people because McMahon is in negotiations to renew his SpikeTV contract and unlike a few years ago wrestling isn't as big as when he first got there so he needs to get ratings up fast or face a big paycut in the contract.

Plus Ted Turner/AOL's no compete clause from WWE's WCW buyout ends at the end of this year and there is talk Ted Turner may buy up Jarrett's TNA-NWA franchise, which would again create competition for WWE and again, McMahon is not ready for it.

Well here are the Summerslam results:

from Rajah.com

Man, I'm never good at these predictions. Oh well. The PPV sounds decent, although I'm still not even sure why they bothered with the Diva Dodgeball. They should've just taken those 5 minutes and added it to the IC title match. And I'm actually shocked, shocked I say, that Orton won CLEAN~! I'm considering ordering the replay, for that match as well as the Angle/Guerrero one. I'm hoping it's worth it.

Except for the "taker match they all ended cleanly. (Although I didn't see the Dudley match).

My predictions weren't that far off. Cena won. Orton winning clean surprised me but now the face turn is definately happening.

HHH actually didn't have to blade himself for a match.

Biggest surprise for me was Taker looking BAD during the match and losing. He looked OLD, beat up and to me seemed to just go through the motions and didn't have his heart in the match.

Angle/Eddie G match was far better than I ever thought it would be. That was a match I didn't even care about but once it started WOW. Was probably my favorite for the night.

It was worth the $5, wings, unlimited soda, and shrooms at BW3.

Everyone wants to boot off Carmella, but Michelle took a hike. ha! I love it! I voted for her, because she is the only one that isn't a boring vapid whore. I like how Evolution dispatched Randy Orton. RKO did a good job of selling his disbelief when HHH gave him the thumbs down. I do like that they are going to turn him good guy this way, rather than have him be better than everyone else.

WWE has again ruined a good storyline opportunity. The plan is to have HHH vs. Orton at this years Wrestlemania (9 months away). Now instead of tip toeing around Evolution turning on Randy over the next 4 - 6 weeks they go ahead and do it right away? What the hell. Pisses me off. That's why I don't waste my Monday nights watching anymore.

I agree, they used to draw it out and give little hints along the way and then at a PPV have the turn go full force and it kept you guessing and interested.

For HHH/Orton, I'd have had Orton in a few matches and HHH and Evo. interfere and cause him to win by interference and not on ability. That would get him upset and wanting to prove himself, while HHH keeps telling him he has the belt ONLY because HHH lets him have the belt. Then a PPV or 2 before WM have HHH and Evo come out to interfere and Orton instead attacks them with his opponent. This draws out the face turn and makes it more legit. Keeps fan interest because as the storyline builds you see Orton go through phases of doubting himself and then realizing he doesn't need HHH and Evo.

A big problem now is the WWE's writers don't know how to write storylines and draw them out. Everything happens now and if there's a problem they ignore it. It does get very predictable and boring.

But I also see the WWE's side and that is right now especially on RAW they lack a true face and Orton (like him or not) is getting good pops. I just think he needs a little more seasoning on the mic and he might be as big as Rocky or Austin. But nobody for a very long time will be as big or mean as much to wrestling as Hogan in his prime. If anyone thinks Orton can do that.....I don't think it'll happen.

You know...with HBK coming back at the next PPV, maybe he can get involved in the HHH/Orton feud...I just hope HBK doesn't come back to take care of Kane. It would have been great if he would have interfered at Summerslam, but now it would be just plain BAD.
With all of Orton's boasting, I keep hoping that Rocky will come back to challenge him again...

HHH & Orton? Does this mean they're going to stop pushing Benoit?

Great, HHH is about to be back in the spotlight. I hope that HBK comes back and kicks a lot of ass. The Rock too.

**edit** As much as I love to see the Rock, he did look a bit shoddy on the mic last night. Looks like they brought him in to try to raise interest in the Diva Search, and help Carmella in particular. She still has my vote, aside from Traci, she is the only one that I find attractive.

Looks like my fave Diva hopeful is a pyscho hose beast. From Wrestinginc.com:

I hope this doesn't mean that they are going to axe her for this. I know she doesn't show any talent or personality, she is the only one that is not a disgusting vapid whore. GO CARMELLA, DADDY LOVES YOU!

The only problem I see with Carmella is that she doesn't do anything. Why everyone else is out there shaking their goods. She just stands there and waves. It really looks like she had no idea what she signed up for.

Interesting. Just what 2 weeks ago Terrell Owens was saying in SI that the rumors of Jeff Garcia being gay were true. Now he has it sounds like 2 women and one happens to be a WWE Diva that hasn't shown any energy at all in the shows.

Now if I were a conspiracy theorist this would make for great fodder. Such as... The Browns want their star QB to look like he's straight, the WWE needs Carmella to show some energy and spunk..... what better way to do both then to have her fight another woman over him, in a Cleveland bar? Doesn't sound like any police reports were filed.

But that would be just toooooo conspiritorial now wouldn't it?

My take on wrestling these days, for me it slowly began to die out, and I know the exact moment when I lost interest. Taz, now known as Tazz, after a string of looses, he decides to retire due to an injury and his lack of passion for the in-ring side of business. I'm a huge Taz/Tazz fan, and every time I think about what he could have been it makes me just a little bit more sad.

Under-appreciated, is what I basically think when I think back on his WWF/WWE career. Before that bicep injury that sidelined him the first time, he was in the middle of what could have been a great feud over the IC title with Benoit, he was slated to win it as well from what I hear, but that old injury got the best of him and he had to leave. But when he came back there was still a glimmer of hope, he began his "Path of Rage" making victims out of everyone, yet still no retribution against Benoit, instead he attacks Jerry Lawler, which brings Tazz to what he is today.

A commentator, an elite one at that, the best color man in the business, and I'm not just saying that cuz I mark out for the guy like it was going out of style. But because he is pretty damn good behind the mic as well. He knows what he is talking about and his presentation is all there. But still, I long for the day that I can see my favorite wrestler as champion once more.

It also slightly pisses me off that he isn't selectable in any of the future WWE games, Raw Vs. Smackdown for ps2 has him listed in the select screen, but you can't pick him, that's retarded. Day or Reckoning for Gamecube, he's not even in it, dammit all to hell, if they can put the Rock as a Legend they can put Tazz in those games as a legend too. Just throw him in there with his black singlet and towel over his head for his entrance and I'd be happy.

At least I got to see him march into Smackdown wearing the ECW title and get in HHH"s face (Tazz should have won that one too, it could have made him a main eventer...), also got to see him become a successful Tag Team champion with Spike (losing the belts to Billy and Chuck, I hated that.). Plus he's on TV every Thursday, but still, just think of what might have been.

On a side note, Tazz had the best debut, choking out an undefeated Kurt Angle, man, what in the hell happened, they made a big deal about him coming to the WWF with all the hype up promos, but they hardly used him properly...

Yay!! Carmella is still going strong. Maria flipped off my beautiful Carmella after her ass got booted. I'm watching this dis the Diva shit right now. Jesus christ! That was some nasty shit. Even my gentle virgin ears were offended with some of the shit those bitches were laying down. GO CARMELLA DADDY LOVES YOU BABY!

Seriously Carmella is a bitch, but she's a hot bitch.

I burst out laughing at something JR said during the little show. He said "this is too tense!" and I heard "this is two tits" I was rollin on the floor.

Some common sense story lines and good werestling wouldn't hurt either...after 30 years of watching, this Lita Kane thing, Randy Orton and the demotion on Chris Benoit has me less interested in sports/entertainment than ever.

I think WWE needs some real competition to get the creative in gear!!!

I think this whole Heidenreich thing is stupid. Paul Heyman called him "unstable and unpredictable" tonight. Doesn't anyone remember 6 months ago when he was John Heidenreich, acting like a starstruck fan following Stone Cold around? Maybe he had a breakdown or something? So he beat up on (probably) sub 200 lbs. Paul London, and chased Michael Cole around. Forgive the expression, but when are they going to have him pick on someone his own size?

Woo hoo! Carmella is still going strong! GO CARMELLA, DADDY LOVES YOU BABY!!

I'm a big fan of Benoit and while it's a shame he's not wearing the belt anymore, it might not be such a big deal in the short run. I think WWE is experimenting with Orton, possibly considering him as the next Rock (though right now, I think John Cena is more qualified to have such a huge push). This would be a shame for Orton if he doesn't go over with the fans.

As for Benoit, I'd rather see him as a 5-time champion than just a 1-time champion with a great run (I don't think anyone's defeated Triple H so many times!), so he would need to lose the belt in order to regain it again and further improve his legacy.

Anyway, here's hoping for Benoit/Triple H for the Title in a future PPV.

Is anyone out there besides me sick and tired of HHH having the goddamn belt?

Jesus christ. I've lost all faith in humanity. WWE can suck my balls. I want to see a show dedicated to the Diva Search. Nothing else matters now.

*fingers crossed for Carmella tonight*

i hear ya. :D they should have a battle of the Super heels for Wrestlemania, and the loser gets to retire (or as WWE defines it, is out of the spotlight for a few months).

a triple cage match between Kurt Angle, HHH, and, hmm... Vince McMahon? :D

i was actually hoping for something like a Survivor/Tough Enough show for the Divas. Seeing them only for a few minutes during Raw is an injustice to the fans! :D

Woo hoo!! My Carmella is still going strong!! GO CARMELLA, DADDY LOVES YOU BABY!!

the crowd chanting "baby killer" *clap**clap**clap clap clap* was probably the best part of the night. :D

Sick of him having the belt since the day he was handed it a copuple of years back. I wouldn't mind so much if he actually defended it, and when he does defend he needs help.

That baby killer shit was pretty funny.

I was kinda hoping Regal would get involved in the brawl at the end of Raw. I mean, he was having some heat with HHH, and I thought the Eugene thing would really take him over the top.

I heard that Jamie Noble and WWE have parted ways. Man, I don't even watch Smackdown anymore. Is JBL still champ?

Anyone play "Day of Reckoning" yet? It looks really good, especially for a WWE gamecube game.

Yes, JBL's dumb ass is still champ. I don't really give half a shit on what goes on on Smackdown now. This Billy Kidman is a sissy angle is retarded. I don't even not care enough about JBL to take time to hate him. Now, HHH, he makes it work and I absolutely hate him. I'll have to watch SD! tomorrow to see what's up with Jamie Noble (boooyy!!). Not that I or anyone else cares.

Spleenine where are you? Your Shelton Benjamin is back baby!!

I agree and I have no problem with him dropping the belt. It is just the quick drop down the card to be Eugene's replacement as a tag partner for Regal [who is another underused talent in WWE]. I'm just a fan of workrate and talent --don't get me wrong a good angle and some skill on the Mic is important...but still Orton jumping out of a cake?!?!?!?

Carmella lost. I've lost all faith in humanity.

I wanted Amy to win, heh. She didn't go as far as I thought she would. :(

I'm not sure how real the diva contest was but I have a pretty good feeling that Carmella was hired to make the contest more tense. Anyone agree with me?

I think Carmella was supposed to win, but because of her legal problems in Cleveland and the bad press she could be getting, Vince realized she wouldn't be able to spend the time and that maybe she was more headache/headcase than he needed.

Why not take an unknown and mold her rather than a semistar who probably already has ego problems?

Just an observation.

I knew that Carmella was a ringer, but I like the redhead (Christy?) better. She seemed to have a lot more charisma and spunk than Carmella. I was thoroughly surprised that she won.

sad news to pass on

http://www.wwe.com/news/headlines/1277702

I hated Bossman as a kid and his last run in the WWFE (for different reasons of course), but I always hate to hear about stuff like this. I admit that I forget that they're still human, that I get caught up with the characters more than the people behind them. Thank you Mr. Traylor.

I liked him as a good guy when I was a kid. I was never too crazy about the big mean Boss Man. See you in the funny pages.

You guys remember the Bossman/Big Show feud? That was truly awesome. The best parts were when the Bossman drug around Big Show's father's coffin behind his police car in the cemetary during the funeral. And then Bossman went to the Big Show's Mother's house and interviewed her and his "mom" admitted Big Show was illegitimate.

"Ya hear that Big Show! You're a bastard and you're momma says so!"
(or something of that nature hehe)

Pure Comedy.

Or how about that time the Ministry hung him by his neck and raised him to the top of the arena. That was good times.

Oh well, maybe Bossman and Crash Holly are having a feud somewhere right now. :)

I remember laughing my ass off seeing the coffin drug behind the car!!

So I just watched Christy make her Raw debut tonight. I guess she isn't so bad after all. I really liked her spunkiness, which used to make me vomit. I wonder what they are going to do with Carmella? It would be hella boss if they kept her around too. Does anyone see a little Briana Banks in Christy?

I still think that WWE should have kept the Bossman around, just to have him drag someone's relatives coffins around. That would have made for great comedy.

Sucks to hear about Big Bossman. I was a big fan of his old-school run in the WWF.

Whatever happened to Shane McMahon? I remember when he was becoming the next high-flyer/self-abuser, doing stuff like RVD's secondary finisher (forgot what it's called, but he put Vince McMahon in one corner with a chair in his face, then he climbed the turnbuckle on the opposite side of the ring and drop-kicked the chair into Vince's face), and falling from scaffolds.

I have to figure out how to get the Internet presale for RAW in Indy. Tickets go on sale tomorrow for the privileged few.

Does anyone know how the Conseco Fieldhouse does their presales? The Nutter Center just has a mailing list. I'm on Conseco's list. Hopefully I'll be able to get good seats, so I can bring a cheesy sign to let everyone know where I'm at.

Anyways, on to Taboo Tuesday...are they going to have online voting during the PPV? That sounds kind of lame. Maybe they'll have all of the seats in the arena fitted with buttons to voter there. Heh. I'm torn between HBK and Edge for the title, I want the lead pipe for Kane, and the rest, I really don't care, unless we get to vote on the Carmella/Christy match. I vote for XXX!

What was even better about the coffin bit was when Big Show actually jumped onto the coffin and rode it like a boogey board.

The only matches I'm excited about for Taboo Tuesday are Kane/Snitsky, Christy/Carmella and the World Title Match. But that's because I don't rememeber the other matches. Nor do I care, really.

All right...I bought 4 seats to RAW in Indy. I know I'll be able to use two of them, and the other two were bought for people who notoriously opt out of them. So, I might have two tickets available soon.
If you are looking to buy tickets, they have a presale going on now, and the password is "insider".

Maybe they'll give the IC title shot to Shelton. I would love to see him with a belt.

As for tag team, I like Tajiri and Rhyno, when they run into the ring is hilarious. Orton is one of my fav's.... someone gotta mess with evolution..... all they do is cheat. Fun stuff tho. I like the Big show and whats up with Carribean Cool or whatever, kinda weird if you ask me....

Did anyone see Raw tonight. The video was horrid. It looks like it was shot on a webcam by a team of imbeciles. The quality was terrible and the camera work was even worse. It made it hard to watch.

I saw some of it, the sound cut out a couple times and the picture was fuzzy. It was ok i guess, Evolution vs Benoit, HBK, and Edge was ok tho, Edge sucks tho.

Did anyone see last night's smackdown with Big Show and the new TE contestants? A lot of them completely no sold that slam. I mean, it's a body slam from the BIG SHOW~! Wrestling is fixed and all, but shouldn't they act like it hurt a little more? The initial reaction was more of a "wow, that was strong. Ok I get up now." One of them looked like he was trying to tense himself up, so it would be harder for Show to pick him up. It was neat to see him "rough up" the guys that talked the most trash, though.

Yea, i saw that when i was flipping channels. I havent really watched wrestling in a long time. I used to be really hooked on it a couple years back. Was that Mike "the miz" from the real world there as one of the contestants?

Yep, that was The Miz himself. I was really suprised to see him, and hope he's actually good in the ring so he can make it. I just hope the whole "Real World" thing doesn't go against him.

Why is Kevin Nash and Scott Hall going to TNA? How long were those 2 guys on wwf, 2 shows. I like TNA but I don't like those 2. Granted, the story lines are not raw or smackdown but the X Division is really good with Pete Williams and AJ.

Man, I was seriously hoping for Batista to go out on his own. The crowd was actually pretty excited to see him face to face with HHH (whether they really wanted to see him win the belt, or just to have someone stand up to HHH is another issue). *sigh, one of these days.

Snitsky should always have a busted eye like that. He was even more scary lookin than normal.

I saw the HHH/Batista acting thing coming 15 minutes before it happened. Wasn't a surprise to me.

I was completely fooled by the Batista thing. I was mega pumped, bouncin' out of my chair to see him whoop ass on HHH! Oh well, back to the usual Evolution shit.

Its going to happen soon enough. Patience children

I'm thinkin' so too.

Prediction for the Elimination Chamber - HHH vs Orton, with Orton getting the win. Also, Trips will eliminate Batista to fuel the fire.

Or maybe Batista wins, HHH gets pissed, Batista realizes he doesn't need Evolution, Flair goes with Batista? That would be cool.

I don't think that Flair would go with Batista. Flair has faked leaving Trips plenty of times, but he keeps coming back. The only thing I could see would be Flair leaving with Batista, and then betraying him at the next PPV during his match against Trips.

We can hope though, right? Me thinks Batista is going somewhere soon. 'Bout time they started using him to his potential.

is TE over now, who won? Puder?

Yup stupid Puder. Mike should have won. He's got the looks, talent, expierence, drive, ambition and most of all heart. He's the best.

I recently got my job shifted changed so I have nights off again and I'm happy to say I can spend more free time at night relaxed. Anyway, my main point is I now have time to watch the WWE again. But to be honest I'm completely suprised and confused at what's going on now...

Would anyone be willing to give me a lil back story on this up coming PPV with a 6 man Elimination Chamber match for the World Title? And two other things, why is Bradshaw the WWE champ and since win is RVD not only a tag team wrestler about a tag champion no less :hmm:

Prophecy, let me know if you need any more catching up...I've watched RAW pretty consistently. Smackdown is another matter.

There's a Stone Cold press conference this week...any ideas as to what's going to happen?

I heard it had something to do with WWE movies or something.

The Press Conference is in regard to Steve Austin agreeing to do like 4 movies with WWE, and nothing more at this time that I know of.

I have no idea why Bradshaw is champ.
