Another problem is we follow wrestling everyday. We watch it, read the news and rumors, get caught up in all of it and we discuss it daily. Before the Internet, I watch the main shows. Sometimes the B shows and watched most of the PPV's. Thought about wrestling a little bit during the week, got excited the day of the show and liked it or not, moved on and repeated every week. I treated it as it should be, a form of entertainment. Didn't take it so serious. Now I overload myself and get burnt out.

I'm still very much into Raw. Smackdown I just can't get into at the moment. But, I work nights so I record both shows. Fast forward is my best friend on early Friday mornings.

:Crosses Fingers:: Please, don't put him on Raw! Please, don't put him on Raw! I just can't imagine what use he is at this point. Even as a jobber to the "stars" he seems useless.

Wasn't it reported Luger blew a ton of his money and this is Sting's way of helping him out? Pay Luger to lay on his back like a whore for every young guy on the roster.

Speaking of Guns N' Roses, I think a "Behind The Music" may finally be coming out on these guys. But, that is a guess so don't hold me to it. I just read this... GNR blew up while opening for Aerosmith in the late 80's so, like I said, I'm guessing here.

Yeah, that's what Lita needs. More chemicals in her system. She already sounds like C.C. Deville of Poison.

I think it's a bunch of shit. Just admit you're sick of doing it. None of that "going out on a high note" crap. Be one thing if your career hit the skids and you had to start playing the small clubs and other small venues. If you have that many fans who want to continue to come see you play and enjoy themselves then you should continue on and play for the people who made you who you are. Don't feed your fans a bunch of bullshit. I wasn't much of a fan, but I thought it was bullshit when Garth Brooks did the same thing. "I achieved all my goals and dreams so I'm retiring." Fuck you. Just admit "I'm sick of this, but thanks for all the money you put in my pockets."

This company fucks with my head. I try to be positive when it comes to Raw. The very few things I don't like I try to enjoy or deal with. I just can't help but be negative when it comes to Smackdown. There isn't one single thing I can enjoy on this show at the moment.

This season isn't over yet. Next week is the reunion where both teams get together in the MTV studio and discuss the season.

Credit: Eric Carra & PWTorch.com/411 HEAT TAPINGS (1) Test & John Heidenrech beat two wrestlers "From Rockford!" They said the names, but I'm afraid the sound wasn't quite right during the first match or two, so I missed 'em. Think early Hardy Boyz, without the flash. Or much of the talent. Anyway, Test won it with a Boot to the Head. No surprise here, but the jobbers DID get some offense in, for what its worth. (2) Matt Hardy vs. someone who wasn't announced by name. Well, THAT'S never a good sign. Standard Hardy match, again with the jobber getting a buncha offense in. Matt got quite the pop. Sunday Night Heat pyro takes us right into... (3) Rhyno beat Val Venis. Rhyno wins with the Gore, Eee-Cee-Dub chants abounded. From where I was sitting (11 rows back, 7 off the floor) it looked like a fairly stiff match. I hadn't seen Rhyno live before; he's just as not tall as everybody says he isn't. (4) Trish Stratus (w/Tyson Tomko) beat Nidia. Pretty even match, "puppies" chant from the crowd, Tomko didn't get involved much, if at all. Nidia got most of the near-falls, Trish got the win. Neither woman got much heat, and what they did get was from their cleavage. Not a particularly good match, but lots of back-and-forth. RAW Notes ...then they did all the stuff needed to get ready for Raw. Howard Finkel got a nice "Fink" chant whilst he counted us down to the live drop-in before RAW hit the air. Lillian Garcia sang the National Anthem, then told us that the show would start with the opening montage, fireworks, then onto the show. Um... no fireworks. Oh well, can't have everything, I guess. During commercial breaks, other than twice shooting t-shirts to the crowd (HBK and the new Eugene one), they did NOTHING to keep the crowd lively. That's why we were kinda quiet coming into the women's match; nothing happened for three or four minutes. During the mass exodus of the locker room to the ring, an idiot wearing orange sneakers got out of the crowd, jumped on the ramp, and actually made in onto the apron... before he lost one of his shoes. When he stopped and dropped back down to get the shoe, he was corralled by a security guard. Moron. I absolutly can't condone that sort of thing, but if you're gonna do it, FORGET THE DARN SHOE. I can't stress this enough. After the show went off the air, there were two more HBK charges Triple H outside the ring. Finally, as it was dying down, two or three wrestlers held someone (a road agent, I'm guessing) as HBK mock threatened him. Hard to take it seriously, since HBK was on the verge of laughing the whole time, but it's all in good fun. Biggest Pops: (1) Chris Benoit. (2) Eugene (but not too far behind Benoit). (3) Shawn Michaels. Hottest Heat: (1) In a stunner, Randy Orton. (2) Triple H. (3) Probably the Coach, but I'm torn between him and Test on Sunday Night Heat.

Then the laugh track played after Nash said that.

TNA picked up right where WCW left off with their 6 sided ring. I mean, c'om! 4 sided rings are so 1900's.

You also have the big shots in the company like Triple H, Taker, Flair and Austin when he was still there saying the flippy floppy stuff doesn't draw and that's not "working" in the ring. Those guys aren't wrestlers. So Vince & Co. tell the cruisers, agents and trainers to make the cruiser matches different from what it should be.

I can't stand the damn face gets arrested storyline. Especially when it happens to the same guy more then once. Ref bumps need to be put to rest for a while along with wrestler comes out on ramp, dumbass turns around and then gets rolled up.

Trish still looks great, but she's starting to lose her curves. It's looks like she is starting to go for the Pamela Anderson, real skinny, big chested look. Trish's appeal is she looks healthy with a tone fitness body. She doesn't need to go with the Stacy Keibler look. I haven't noticed until this week so it may have just been the shirt she was wearing and the camera angle.

Makes ya wonder how the cruisers today feel when they hear Benoit, Eddie and Jericho complain about the way WCW held them down. WCW may not of pushed the cruisers and mid-carders to the top, but at least they were allowed to show off their talent in the ring.

You know.... He could get better with time.

They don't call him that on TV do they? I thought "Sly" was just a short nic name people on the 'net gave him?

Well, X-pac does kind of look like Lil' Jon. He can go all "Crunk" on Cena's ass.

No matches announced makes me nervous. But, Raw has been good so I'll trust them..... for now.

It's obvious Benoit is getting old and is past his prime so he should job the title to a member of the younger generation like Triple H.

I don't know why DDP still gets ripped for that. And from WWE guys no less. Their matches get planned front to back, top to bottom, start to finish. Only difference is... DDP planned his own matches with the guys he faced. Guys in WWE have agents planning their matches. Just imagine if Kurt Angle didn't plan out most of his matches.

WAHHHHH Why should he be banned? Because people don't like him? Shut the hell up. Or else come up with some real proof of trolling, besides some threads he started 2-3 years ago. The Eugene thread was sad but it's about as far from trolling as you can get. Yeah, really. BOOOO, AngleSault broke the rules! I'm telling!!!! You guys must have been loved in high school.
