Bret actually looks to be thrilled to be standing amongst the clique. Just a little piece of ammo for the one or two people out there that still thinks Montreal was a big work.

Blasted through the IC Title one w/ Rikishi being one that took a couple minutes to get after filling everyone else in. And I missed one on the WWE Title one . . . that being the Iron FUCKING Sheik. How the fuck did I forget that one?!?

FWIW, WWE doesn't have an broadcast quality copy of this match anymore.

Probably referring to the blurolas on 1998-2002 footage.

Monsoon would have blushed at Burchill's winning rollup. He actually drove w/ the legs.

Couldn't agree more. After the women's match, I had Jesse's voice in my head going "IT'S FOUR AGAINST THREE GORILLA!!!" completely ignoring the fact that Santino/Mendes have been freely interfering in the last couple weeks.

He'll be the diva to go arm-in-arm w/ Terry on his way to the podium.

Watch TNA decide to go all Battlebowl on us and thus guaranteeing no one will get any points.

Here's Legacy's preview for the upcoming months: And when Legacy said every Hall of Famer, they meant EVERY Hall of Famer, not just the 2009 inductees. Archive has been updated as of 2/16.

I only liked him when he was paired up w/ Cowboy Bob . . . and that was for seeing Bobbo be a better heel at 50+ years old than his baby boy. Ok ok ok . . . I marked for the RNN stuff too.

Bummer that Mike's suggestion got no sold.

King Booker

I'd love to get your thoughts on King Booker, assuming you've seen the new gimmick.

I was half-expecting for that rant to end with "Don't you know WHO I AM?!? I AM NETWORK BAH GAWD!!!"

"I'm Droopy" as if nobody's watching makes my heart melt every time. Plus, he has to pull it together enough to raise a pup.

Yeah, I think I'll go w/ Droopy too.

For me, it's a tossup between Eeyore and Droopy for favorite depressed animated character.

You should at least put in your 2 week notice first.

Oh he was. His Fall of 1994 push to the WWF Championship was among the most underrated angles of all time (3 cheers for putting the editor of the WWF Magazine Lou Gianfrino in the crossface chickenwing). Plus, as a heel, he could be as strong as an ox or as spineless as a jellyfish, whatever the situation called for. We were all plebeians quagmired in a sea of hypocrisy in Mr. Bob Backlund's world.

Black Lushus is one of the few guys on the board that I wouldn't mind meeting sometime . . . and no, not in the NBC Dateline Predator way. More like a swishing down a beer watching a ppv way.

Plebians? Someone must have been watching her 1994-95 Mr. Bob Backlund promos.

Nothing more awkward than meeting up w/ a buddy's female acquaintence on the street. Should I hug too? Am I obligated? Does she even want me to? Probably not, so I don't.

I don't believe it's the size of the wrestler that the fan has been successfully trained to react to. It's the personality/charisma and secondarily the workrate of the wrestler. Granted, there must be a half-decent physiche for the fan to buy into. A fan will react to a "witty" one-liner or a gimmicky finisher before they will to a random clean-cut wrestler reliant on roids or not. Batista has a silent killer personality --- people react Randy Orton has no personality but looks great --- girls react Chris Masters has no personality --- the pindrops are deafening Eddie Guerrero oozed personality --- people reacted Scotty 2 Hotty does the gimmicky worm --- people still react regardless of his average (compared to the average Joe) physiche. Rey Mysterio does some amazing things in the ring (compared to others in WWE) --- people react Just my penny or two.

I'll throw some jobbers at ya: Jose-Luis Rivera Barry O Iron Mike Sharpe Barry Horowitz Jim Powers Salvatore Bellomo
