    Which Hit Song of 2004 are You?

    That Five for Fighting song. Never heard it, and i hate the band. Nevertheless, I re-arranged my answers several times so Float On would appear.

    Not that I care, but...

    JBL really should have won most improved, considering he went from a lowly tag team wrestler to a world champion in a span of a couple of months. Unless PWI is no longer pandering to kayfabe...

    RAW in Toronto

    I'd go, but the only thing that interests me about this show is the reaction Hassan will recieve. That, and the post-holiday money issues that I really should watch.

    Getting a hotel and going to some club in Toronto. I hope I don't get stabbed and/or shot.

    Top 25 Tours of 2004

    I couldn't fathom how Kid Rock could fill the Molson Ampitheatre in Toronto this summer (25,000 venue) let alone be in the top 25 tours of the year. Seriously, when did he last release something? Who is his target demograph?
  10. How did that scenario really go down?
  11. That is one ugly title lineage.

    Will Smith's "Gettin' Jiggy With It"

    Hahaha. Oh man.
  13. That's about right. Although I did not know about the pre-1948 world title issue.

    What was the one angle the WWE screwed up?

    The crowd was hot for Benoit the entire match and after HHH tapped everyone was going ape shit and high fiving each other. Then Guerrero came out, merely as the icing on the cake. The lasting image was Benoit's ascend to glory, it was a shared moment (and rightfully so), but Benoit's victory was definetly the lasting image. It was simlar to Luger coming down to celebrate with Bret after WrestleMania X. But no one thinks of Luger when remembering the end of that show.

    What was the one angle the WWE screwed up?

    Yes, Benoit could have been booked better post-Rumble and post-Mania. A match with Brock would have been nicer, but then we wouldn't have seen the post match celebration with Guerrero with both the titles. Sure, Benoit could have been a bigger focus at Backlash and his entire title run until SummerSlam. But I fail to see how Benoit wasn't rewarded this year. He won the Royal Rumble, lasting the longest in history and won the main event of the 'biggest WrestleMania of all time'. Of course we can look back on it and say Benoit was 'the other guy' but 10 years from now we'll be looking back at the win of Mania as the defining moment of his career and for many (myself included) one of the greatest moments in wrestling history. He joined the ranks of Hogan, Hart, and Austin as men who won the main evented at the biggest show of the year, and that can never be taken away. You can find a lot of fault in the way he was booked, absolutely. It's very rare that things go exactly the way we want them to. If that means having 'low standards', so be it. The WWE set the bar low and this is wrestling we're talking about after all. Benoit could have been regulated to mid-card duty after his match with Brock and been involved in another tag match at Mania. Given the fact that he isn't The Rock or Austin, it's surreal to see him holding the title after Mania, a thought most of us thought would be impossible when he first joined the company in 2000.

    Santa

    Around 9 or 10, although I may have even tried to convince myself till later, despite what the other kids would say. I also hate those kids that go around telling other kids that he's not real. I can understand famalies having their own beliefs regarding when/if to break it to their child, but that's a personal decision that should stay within the household. Santa embodies the innocence of childhood for many, and to have that taken away at an early age seems wrong. One of the kids my mom babysits has gone around telling the other kids that he's not real, upsetting many of the other parents in the process.
