It's been a long while since I've seen World Tour 1996 but I must admit, the New Rockers' stooging had me laughing.

I don't mind the Edge/Alicia/Vickie storyline the way it is as long as it doesn't take a backseat to HHH. Let HHH come out and pedigree whomever he wants as long as he doesn't take up more than 10 minutes of the show so La Familia can dominate the rest of the show as they should. It would be so awesome if somehow Edge/Vickie reconsiles ("But baby, I was trying to spear Alicia because I was concerned for you.") and Alicia still ends up in their group (maybe she can fuck Hawkins but sometimes she'll fuck Ryder if he puts on Hawkins's tights). Edge, Vickie, Chavo, Bam, Kurt, Zack, and Alicia. The Magnificent Seven of Smackdown.

What about Tony fuckin Atlas? I try to refer to him as that as often as possible as I used to work w/ a gymrat several years ago. Another co-worker then started going to the gym and casually mentioned the weight he was lifting prompting the gymrat (who I had no idea he watched wrestling at all) to say "One week going to the gym and he thinks he's Tony fuckin Atlas". The randomness made me chuckle.

I think that ending proved that no one gives a fuck about HHH.

Well, at least HHH didn't answer the question by asking the same question over like WWE-style dictates . . . "Do you have any regrets?" "Do I have any regrets?"

"Vince, I said two men won games referring to the beach volleyball event earlier this weekend." - JR explaining his two-man WarGames comment

Where has this business gone where a flaming car is only good for a nearfall?

Think about Mamajuana John!

I'm a huge mark for the last minute of that match w/ Funk chairshotting Kane followed by Funk straddling the middle rope after Mankind's chair shot. That crowd was insanely hot for the finish.

I thought they'd have the midcarders there cheering them on like the Guerrero/Cena parking lot brawl from five years back.

Ending aside, Punk came out of that looking really good. He outclassed Batista at every turn and basically kicked the shit out of him w/ Batista's only 'strength' being his 'strength' as Cole put it.

I suppose this could put Dreamer in a feud where me may actually win a match.

My suggestion would be keep things the way they are and if a piece of news garners eight or so comments, make a thread out of it, regardless of how minor the item may be.

IIRC, it was just the World Champ and Women's Champ.

Not to mention the follow up at War Games . . . the nWo B-Team defeating the Horsemen.

Was that the reason Orndorff was sent out? I always figured Roma kept not wanting to lose to himself and just sandbagged Wright during the match.

JBL could have also threatened that Cena wouldn't be so lucky at the parking lot brawl at the Bash.

And the winner of the 2008 Bret "Hitman" Clark award goes to "Stoned" Steve Austin.

He won it with a poke in the eye when the ref wasn't looking. Good tactical fighting.

I remember that. KK was busting Cornette's chops for referring to the 25 guys as a quarter hundred. And ragging on Papi Chulo sliding into a 3/4 full ring.

"His precision is very precise" Thanks Mike. And ouch, I owe my brother $1 since I bet him for his free Big Mac coupon.

Yeah, that pretty much summarizes my opinion of battle royals. For me they're like pizza, even if they're bad, they're still pretty good. And if I saw a battle royal listed on a CV box at Mom's Mega Video, it was an automatic rental . . . well, they all were but that got 1st dibs. I'm a big mark for the WM2 battle royal. I thought the football players were used very well and it was neat to see the Hart Foundation face off w/ Andre at the end. I remember in 1992, there was an indy show (GLWA) at the park down my street. The main event was a 10-man battle royal when some Russian guy won it when he eliminated former WWF jobber Ron Cumberledge . . . who was also in at least one of the 40-man battle royals. And needless to say when I'm playing FPR, I'm all about the 8-man battle royals using random select. Fun shit.

Saw the clip of the HHHijinx on wwe.com. You guys weren't kidding about Alicia, she seemed stiff as a board. Actually intrigiued to see how Sunday plays out.

You sure are right about that, it was the 6-man tag from the night before. Would it have killed the AWA to tape matches using the same announcers in consecutive matches? For as much as people may or may not dislike Trongard, he had to have been beating his head against the wall commentating w/ some of these shmucks. Verne is shit, Greg is ok, Karch tries but he can be annoying, that local yocal promoter from WI is the pits. No wonder Lee Marshall got a gig, he's Gordon Solie next to these clowns. Kudos to Larry Nelson for combing his hair. I love how he and his guests seem to have no clue which major matches are in which city. "If I get my hands on (heel) in (random city), than I won't stop until they pull me off you!" Dennis Condrey had the world's greatest low blow sell against Wahoo . . . on his tippy-toes w/ his knees flailing in perfect rhythm. Last but not least, Madusa was lookin primo on Wed's show. That fuckin fag Karch was doing everything in his power to get Rod to focus on wrestling and Rod is all "I have to sit through this shit wrestling every goddamn night, so shut your fuckin mouth and let me rub one out to Madusa before the squash starts!" --- Well, he was thinkin it.

And to hear Ray Stevens (or maybe it was Greg Gagne, I don't remember) refer to Rich as a man's man in the following studio segment makes it better.
