Best show - No Mercy 1999 (JJ's burning bridge w/ Vince thus starting a domino effect leading to TNA, Bulldog's last sniff of a main event program, 1st tag team ladder match, 121 year old Moolah bags another Women's Title, & Stone Cold jobs to that up and comer blasting through the glass ceiling despite the politics holding him back. That being HHH.) Most fun show - ECW house show in early 1999. Somehow Row F on the floor translated to front row. Nothing spectacular happened at the show but fuck, front row for ECW is nearly impossible to top for $40 or so.

Did the Homicide/Magnus match even air? I tuned in at about 9:20 and Angle was bitching out Sting after their match.

Wrong. LeBron gets the anti-star treatment probably because he does so much complaining to the refs. It's the chicken and the egg. He routinely gets swiped across the face, knocked on his ass, and his arm grabbed only for everyone to conclude that someone must have jammed in chewed up gum in the officials' whistles as they play on. If we was getting the star treatment, that foul w/ 1/5 of a second wouldn't have been called on him on Tuesday night.

Did I hear it correctly that a fan will get a chance to bone ODB?

srsly. Even as a homer, I have to admit for a "no excuse" team, the Cavs sure do bitch and moan a lot. Mo doesn't make the All Star team - Waaahhhhh LeBron gets his triple-double taken away at MSG - Waaaahhhhh Mo doesn't make the All Star team again - Waaahhhh Cavs get a make up call against them - Waaaahhhhh And that's just the last couple weeks. Even during games, it seems that LeBron is a perpetual cramper every time he thinks he got breathed on funny. I would have lumped Varejao in there but he has made great strides to tone it down for the most part. I just hope they man up a little heading into the playoffs.

Hogan was definitely a dillhole. Even as a kid, I felt he was a bit of a bully for being a dick to the much smaller Savage. Though him hooking up w/ Elizabeth in the weeks and months to come didn't really register w/ me at the time as being prickish.

The Mega Powers/Twin Towers match will always have a special place in my ticker. It was just a few weeks prior that I started watching wrestling regularly and was getting into this angle and the WWF in general, but had no idea this match was taking place on a Friday night on NBC. Being six years old, I didn't really pay attention to the details. When my mom alerted me that wrestling was on channel 3, I raced to the living room just in time to see most of the tag match. I was blown away by everything. It just seemed like a big fuckin deal. But wait! Not only did the Mega Powers split up but now we're getting Hercules vs Ted DiBiase . . . that's TWO fucking matches where guys who generally win are facing off w/ each other*. I was in heaven as they fish-hooked me for life. *Bear in mind, I didn't have cable so syndication was my only option.

I'll see that and raise you a "I think Grisham is pretty damn good". Obviously, he doesn't have the tenure of a JR/King, but he rarely sounds like an idiot (Juh-shin aside). He doesn't pretend to know-it-all and seems to let things come much more naturally than any other commentator in WWE (other than maybe Striker and Lawler). He doesn't shreik all that much, just for a nearfall here and there. Does a good job of letting Striker get his jokes in w/o stepping on his toes. Doesn't have an overbearing voice . . . rather he has a good background voice.

5 stars. Kamala vs. Bam Bam at Mania IX - change history forever! The unlocked Coliseum Video exclusive.

If Don West is seen smoking a cigarette before the match, it would be the greatest TNA segment in history.

I was just watching Raw is Sumo and Vince namedrops Mark Henry two years before he signs him . . . it was during the DiBiase/Volkoff King's Court which was a hoot in itself. I wonder if JBL/Michaels watched any of the angle to teach Michaels how to do the sad face.

Mike Brown is in the middle of a damn sweet promo against the refs and the media who are playing devil's advocate for the refs. Not much profanity but great facials.

I'm guessing Magnus is getting whacked after the tapings tonight (assuming they're taping tonight as well).

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.
