IIRC, they don't acknowledge Andre's SS win at all in the buildup to his rematch. DiBiase threatens to buy the title and fails then buys Andre's servives, & presto . . . a rematch on Feb 5.

I can just imagine two people from whatever state athletic commission sitting on the couch, eating popcorn, watching Raw when one turns to the other and asks, "Think it's real?"

Exactly.

It'd shock me if there was ANY Survivor Series fallout.

Cleveland is a pretty fickle town. Whomever is making a playoff push is our most loved team. In our defense, there has been no championships here in 44 years covering 123 combined seasons of championship-less sports. 1. Ohio State Football - It pains me to no end but people up here are obsessed w/ the Buckeyes. OSU flags flying everywhere. Unless you went to the school or have a kid/sibling that goes there, I don't see the point in being so passionate about them since they play 2-3 hours away. What kills me is when I'm bumming about a Browns loss, and a chach coworker will spout off with "Who cares?!? The Buckeyes WON!!!" 2. Cleveland Browns - Sure some would say the Browns are #1. For me, they're #1. The city rocks during Steeler week even though deep down everyone knows what the outcome will be. But we gather and cheer for the Browns in the hope that we're wrong. A Browns win seems to make everyone in a better mood for the next couple days. 3. Cleveland Cavaliers - If not for LeBron, they'd be #4. Plus, they've accrued quite a bit of ongoing success under Gilbert/Ferry/Brown for Cleveland standards. 3 straight years in the playoffs and a Finals appearance. Though, people are starting to get pissed about LeBron showing up to the Indians game cheering the Yankees and the Browns game rooting for the Cowboys. But once he rips a few dunks and a 50pt game this season, it'll all be forgotten. 4. Cleveland Indians - Crashed and burned in 2008 but people are generally mellow and forgiving about the team compared to other cities. Sure, people call in to shows and want Wedge out of town or to trade so-and-so for so-and-so but all in all people like the Shin Soo Choos and the Ben Franciscos and of course the Grady Sizemores quite a bit. 5. Cleveland State Basketball - Being one game away from the NCAA tournament last year for the 1st time in eons put a spark into the program. 6. Ohio State Basketball - People perk up for them if they're in the NCAA tournament. 7. Cleveland Gladiators - Arena Football team. Made the playoffs last year. Bernie Kosar welcoming the fans generally gets the 2nd biggest pop at the games trailing the "All fans have won a free Big Mac now that your Gladiators have scored 50 points!" pop. 8. Lake Erie Monsters - Affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche. They're there. Fun to go to a game or two a year. 9. Lake County Captains - Affiliate of the Cleveland Indians. Popular on the east side of town. Not so much on the west side.

So, after the pinfall, are they going to call "cut?" The cast of WWE are the ONLY entertainers in the world to get just one take King! What a performance by JTG and John Morrison this week.

For what it's worth, here is a preview of upcoming months: I must say I'll be pleased w/ the Survivor Series tag matches. I know I have tapes of every pre-2005 SS, but I would really rather not dig the tapes out, plus the tracking gets fussy on my VCR. Sounds like they'll need Striker back to educate everyone on factions in the history of something whatever ENTERTAINMENT!!! Last December had a hardcore theme so it looks like they may repeat that *shrugs* And being the whore for battle royals and Royal Rumbles I am, I hope they don't flake out on the January theme.

That was Boston area jobber the Duke of Dorchester Pete Doherty. He actually did commentary w/ Pritchard (pre Brother Love) during that Sam Houston Coliseum show. The Duke also commentated a Boston Garden show or two. His most high profile job was probably losing to JYD in short order at the inaugural SNME.

Actually, Anderson spent 1993 and much of 1994 as a babyface.

So will the last match be Jericho vs Batista?

The only time it actively annoys me is at an event like WMX7 where there are just scratch WWF logos everywhere. A typical Raw match has WWF logos mainly on the buckles and maybe the announce table. But at X7 or X8, there are more shirts w/ logos, signs w/ WWF on them, logos on the ring skirts, ect. But whatever.

AA is the only one attempting to inflict pain on another? And Brody, I can't take my eyes off that Benoit pic.

I definitely remember JR being extra surly during that match. IIRC, JR called Too Cool 'Two Jackasses' during their entrance. Jeez JR, what did they ever do to you.

I think Run-In Man and The Mariner are one in the same.

And on behalf of Browns fans, FUCK

If Cleveland was home, he'd be in. Looks like Cleveland is going to blow another 1st and 1 situation. Nevermind, TD Browns on 4th w/ the deuce to get w/in 3.

The Browns should be down 20 at this point but are only down 4. I can only pray they'll steal a game they have no business winning. EDIT - Nevermind, it's 14-3

IIRC, Keirn had a short-lived tag team w/ Bobby Eaton as Bad Attitude. They were just WCW Pro fodder for up and coming tag teams like Stars & Stripes. Basically, they filled in for Slagenger & Pierce.

Pavlik sure did look a step slow on virtually every exchange last night.

I think the silliest one I ever saw was for a Duke Droese vs Jerry Lawler match from Raw in late 1994. Though there's always an extra mark out factor when it actually does turn out to be a swank matchup. Case in point when they were hyping a Harts vs Headshrinkers match the week before RR94. Obviously, that didn't take place. EDIT - Finally, here are the cards for the arena shows for October . . . WWE Live Event from Philadelphia - 6/4/1983 Salvatore Bellomo vs Iron Mike Sharpe (Gary Michael Cappetta showing how much of a trooper he is) Jimmy Snuka vs Afa WWF Championship - Bob Backlund vs Ivan Koloff Andre the Giant vs Big John Studd (W/ a front face lock that clocked in at just shy of a Super Bowl halftime show) Rocky Johnson vs Sika Madison Square Garden: 5/18/1987 Sam Houston vs Terry Gibbs Paul Roma & Jim Powers vs Don Muraco & Bob Orton (Unfortunately, pre-Crank it Up) Koko B Ware vs Dangerous Danny Davis (Tell me you didn't see that Brain. I happened to be looking at this bird over here making some noise, I saw the pin though.) Lanny Poffo vs Dave Barbie WWF Championship - Hulk Hogan vs King Harley Race WWF Women's Championship - Fabulous Moolah vs Debbie Combs WWE Live Event from Madison Square Garden - 7/1/1991 Shane Douglas vs Dino Bravo (Apparently hiding from the mafia by not dying his hair blonde. As for Douglas, I wonder how long he had to putz around the ring before they finally introduced him) Ricky Steamboat vs Paul Roma Jimmy Snuka vs Berzerker Barber Shop w/ Randy Savage WWF Tag Titles - Nasty Boys vs Hart Foundation Greg Valentine vs Warlord Jake Roberts vs Earthquake Haku & Barbarian vs Kato & Mr Fuji (Complete w/ Fuji punking out Heenan on three occasions. Fuji's shady grin after the 1st innocent salt toss is gold Jerry, gold!) Bodybag Match - Ultimate Warrior vs Undertaker Saturday Night's Main Event 11/28/1987 George Steele vs Danny Davis Randy Savage vs Bret Hart WWF Championship - Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy Bam Bam Bigelow vs Hercules (Can anyone else understand what the fuck Bigelow was saying during his pre and/or between match promos?) Saturday Night's Main Event 4/27/1991 Ultimate Warrior vs Sgt Slaughter WWF Tag Titles - Nasty Boys vs Bushwhackers 20 Man Battle Royal Bret Hart vs Ted DiBiase Tito Santana vs Mountie

Dennis Stamp did a WWF taping? Bingo!

I assumed so. I know there were Kanyon and Mike Awesome figures made in 2000 so I figured Shane would have made the cut for that line.

Hmmmm, could be. The only one that MAY also have one by each is Shane Douglas. Unsure if Dean Douglas ever became immortalized in plastic form.

Dr. John Becker and Brutus Beefcake . . . now that's cashola.
