- The word backstage was that Shawn Michaels blade job at Survivor Series was made worse because he was forced to do it while being tossed out of the ring. He then hit his head, making the cut worse. Vince McMahon's blade job caused too much blood simply because he did not do it properly. - The general feeling backstage is that WWE will likely do brand vs. brand matches at WrestleMania XX. - The RAW wrestlers were very tired after what was said to be a very bad flight from Dallas to Beaumont. - The Brock Lesnar/Bob Holly angle is expected to take place entirely on TV. Smackdown does not have its own PPV now until February, so they will put on some major matches on free TV leading up to the Royal Rumble. - Kurt Angle is expected to miss three weeks due to his neck surgery which he will undergo today. The operation is said to not be too serious. - Paul Heyman is scheduled to be on Smackdown tonight. Originally, he was only going to be brought back for about a month while Stephanie McMahon was gone. No word on if WWE plans to extend his on-air role. Credit: 1wrestling.com/411

"Kill 'Em All" has also had 20 years to sell 3 million.

Steven Tyler's kids are nuts. They all get his hair and lips but all end up putting on weight like their mothers. All though, I don't think Liv is fat at all. Mia is big, but that's her bread and butter since she's a plus size model.

According to blabbermouth.net, Metallica vocalist James Hetfield has told Reuters that the United States sales of the group's latest album, St. Anger, which fell off the pop charts earlier this month, are a "bummer." However, the group plan to launch a six-month U.S. tour of indoor arenas on March 2, they announced backstage at the American Music Awards on Sunday. St. Anger has sold about 1.5 million copies in the United States since it debuted at No. 1 in June, according to Nielsen SoundScan (the record has been certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America). "It's a bummer," Hetfield said. "In Europe it's doing really good, and some other places ... It is what it is. We can't change that. We do our best and that's all we can do." Drummer Lars Ulrich said St. Anger is Metallica's best seller in Europe since its 1991 self-titled release, also known as the "black album," and the band are preparing to launch their third tour there in December. "It's a very challenging record," Ulrich said about the album, which features no guitar solos and was widely panned for its "unconventional" production approach. He added that U.S. rock radio programmers seemed more interested in playing bands like Nickelback. Metallica's record sales in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) are as follows: "Metallica" (1991) – 13 million "…And Justice For All" (1988) - 8 million "Master of Puppets" (1986) – 6 million "Ride The Lightning" (1984) – 5 million "S&M" (1999) – 5 million "Load" (1996) – 5 million "Reload" (1997) – 3 million "Kill 'Em All" (1983) – 3 million "St. Anger" (2003) – 2 million Source: "Metallica's Hetfield Says 'St. Anger' Sales Are A 'Bummer' " www.blabbermouth.net 18 November 2003 Credit: 411

Vedder ripped off Morrison, not Plant.

How Steph becomes Co-GM on Raw will make no sense either way. Vince kicks her ass and fires her from SD, but he'll make her GM of Raw? Also, if we "have" to have Steph on Raw, then Shane better be back off TV now. Austin going to SD seems like a sure bet obviously from losing last night and the stare down with Vince backstage. Rumors of wrestlers being traded, wrestlers feuding with guys from the other roster and Matt Hardy coming to Raw sounds fun. We need some things like this to freshen up the TV shows.

Booooooooo. I wanted to see Funaki in Undertaker clothes get raised to the roof.

What injury does Triple H? Can't be worst then a torn quad and coming back looking the incredible hulk.

Triple H doing the right thing last night and jobbing to Goldberg didn't shock as much as how out of shape he looked. I'm surprised no one here has mentioned it. My uncle, brother and I were laughing. His body was a mess compaired to how he usually looks. He had a lot of fat around his stomach and sides. His stomach sticks out farther then his chest. His chest looked smaller and uncut. When Triple H bent over to pick up Goldberg his stomach and love handles were hanging over his tights. His arms looked smaller and just all around looked uncut and maybe it was just me, but he's getting older looking and a little less hair on top of his head. What happen? His body is naturally breaking down? Maybe all the deaths has put a scare into him? Steph ask him to slow down? Not working out because he's been on movie sets or maybe just a little too much parting on the hoonymoon? This was not the same Triple H.

Brock is the hardest underrated worker in the fed. He's a monster and he runs, jumps, bumps and sells like a guy 100lbs lighter. He picks up and throws around the biggest of men like rag dolls. But, he makes it look so easy he never gets credit.

I can't believe some people still think Brock has "zero talent."

Cena wins and will be the iron man of the Rumble.

BTW, is Vince Vs Taker the main event tonight?

No reason to even pay attention to these rumors at this point. There have been so many different ones from what will happen in the Taker/Vince match to what roll will Kane play to where Steph and Austin are going. WWE at this point is like a tornado coming your way. You can't do anything about it until after the storm settles and you see the mess it made.

Should have known "smarks" would never admit if they were wrong about something. You guys are no better then Vince not admitting his many mistakes. Ya'll going to Hell!

Think of this as Sunday morning mass. We all like to think we know what's best for the company. We all like to think we know what and who is best for business. We all love to think which wrestlers, characters, gimmicks, angles, storylines, etc will bomb and be a hit. Well, here is your chance to swallow your pride and admit you were wrong. I know it may be hard for some, but god will forgive you for your sins and I'll admit a few right now. Cena will never get over with the rap thing. Storm just needs a push to get over. (Sad to say, I don't see the fans ever loving this guy.) I hate Big Show and A-train and will never like them and saying they will never get over let alone have credibility. Edge sucks and Christian rules. Fans don't care about McMahon's (Ratings say other wise.) I want Triple H off my TV. Hey, I've missed the bastard.

If you ACT like that all the time, then most likely YES... My comment may sound "ignorant", however considering that most white people who act that way know nothing about the urban "culture" and have only been influenced by it via MTV and the like, ARE wiggers, IMHO. They would not be able to fit in or even really survive in the real urban atmosphere. There's a line being street-wise, and being a poser... So what you're saying is black people who are "urban" and listen to hip hop and are part of the "streets" and have lived through hard times are niggers? Since "wigger" is short for "white nigger," white people shouldn't try to act like a black person?

Well, since Jones and Morgan are the new "big" guys on the show, which one gets the rub by putting Angle out for two months?

Just wait until next time Nathan Jones tries to do his spin kick and he slips, does a flip and lands right on his ass.

The thing I hate the most about the Taker/Vince and Kane/Shane feuds are it makes Taker and Kane part time wrestlers themselves. I can't remember the last time I've seen Taker in the ring on Smackdown and Kane hasn't had a match on Raw since October 6th when he beat Rosey.

Thank god it's 2003. If this was 15 years ago Nathan Jones would have main evented against Hulk Hogan for 3/4 of the year and everyone from Bret, Shawn, Marty, Davey Boy, Ricky Steamboat, Randy Savage and 45 jobbers would have been victim to this push.

I'm annoyed now. I been waiting all week to hear how Brock and Bob Holly got along backstage and if they stiffed each other during their little brawl at the end of Smackdown. Give me the gossip people!

Yes I do. I'd like to know where the future of Raw is headed since we have the Royal Rumble coming up soon. As a fan (oops, am I allowed to admit I'm a fan still?) I'd like to know who the world champion is going to be working with and where the direction the feud is going since that is the main focus of the show.

Does this clown ever add anything useful in his replies?

What would be the best out come for this match be? Triple H or Goldberg? Either way, where do they go from here? Who is left to feud with these guys? Or, do they continue this feud since there is no one else lined up for them? Raw has dug themselves into a ditch and it seems like a lose/lose situation.
