Golgo 13

As one of Cade and Murdoch's proponents, I'm not saying they're the saviours of the division. I won't lie, I really only like their reactions and personalities. I think there's some potential as far as that's concerned, even if they lack what they do inside the ring. Fuck, you say it as if they were a complete embarassment on a Tomko or Heidenreich level. However, it is a sad state of affairs when that tag was pretty much the best thing of the night. We got a large amount of matches, but a great number of them were flat out awful and even worse, had no fucking business being on TV (Torrie/Avril).

For the record, it tasted awful.

Well, if we never had masks for our luchadors, we can't have mask matches, can we? And I don't think we've EVER had a hair v. whatever match. Hell, Insane Luchador wasn't even Mexican. Just a white guy from Pennsylvania.

35) Mansonosity. I know you're not sick of it yet.

I love Luke Cummo. He's just freaking them all out and owning their shit. I hope he lives up to what we've seen so far.

C'mon. When was the last time anyone, let alone a tag team, had such build-up with vignettes and a chance to show off their characters before a TV debut. It's better than just throwing them on TV blind (like the Heart Throbs). Aside from the outlandish Murdoch with the Deliverance hick stereotype stuff, we got what they were really about, so the vignettes did their job. More debutees desperately need such treatment, as exaggerated as it is, because what WWE does otherwise usually doesn't cut it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd say the problem is that for all the promos they did, that personality didn't come through in the match at all. Murdoch especially wasn't wrestling like a guy with his personality should. Some goof made a quip about it being good that they aren't Stan Hansen clones. Being a Stan Hansen clone would actually make sense given the characters they portrayed in the promos, rather than them wrestling like every other WWE wrestler on the roster. Murdoch should be yelling around at the ref, do some scrappy brawling with the opponents, while Cade plays the smooth guy who ends up looking like a clown. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> C'mon.

He didn't excel, but Murdoch did enough to wrestle like, well, a complete backwoods hick with presumably little to no training and no knowledge of fancy maneuvers. How much of that was intentional, considering the Irish whip segment with Hurricane, I don't know. Like you said, though, everyone else already performs that way. Either way, his look is an integral part of things. Even if his wrestling didn't hold up, you can still believe he's a total redneck straight out of Appalachia or some trailer park. His expressions and especially that frown is fucking spot on. I mean, I loved when he totally freaked at the beginning of the match ("Oh, GOD!") when Hurricane did his hero stance. Admittedly, this stuff is what I like about him. He should've spat some juice at one of the Heroes, though. I was waiting for it and it never happened.

Yeah, I have no idea what was going on with Murdoch/Hurricane. I had no idea if Rhodes was blown up, was attempting to sell before Hurricane picked up the pace, wouldn't co-operate or what. Okay match otherwise. Cade is vastly improved from his earlier stint and he showed some actual personality. Granted, he had one of the most boring gimmicks anyone can be given, the dreaded upstart rookie/blue chipper.

Kerwin White doesn't care about black people.

A) Don't tell me Shelton is gonna job to Conway. B) Don't tell me Masters is gonna job to Michaels after everything they've put into his angle.

God. This is Jackie/Trish bad.

Nonsense. Or at least, I didn't notice, because I was blinded by the utter awesomeness of the gimmick. Know what I mean? This Raw runs very homosexually, but is it the most homoerotic of them all? We've had Venis and Viscera v. the Heart Throbs, Flair with a vice grip on Carlito's nuts, and Murdoch nearly dropping trou. The only one I can recall that comes close is the night of the infamous Triple H/Steiner posedown.

Angle, Tomko...and Snitsky? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't even joke about that. I hate Viscera. It should've been Venis and Parisi. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It could still be. ...sometime in the future. Not at the moment though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Man. Venis could've taken Parisi under his wing, with the two becoming ultra-sleazeball dick tweeners in the same vein as DX. It would have been great.

Angle, Tomko...and Snitsky? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't even joke about that. I hate Viscera. It should've been Venis and Parisi.

As if it couldn't get any worse than Angle, Jindrak and Luther Reigns.

So did the announcers just forget about the feud Angle lost to Booker T?

If so, then he is the most pussy whipped man on earth <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The FCC is the Federal Communications Commission, a US government agency that most famously regulates radio and network television. They're dicks.

Are you sure you have an eDonkey server.met file? I couldn't connect to eDonkey either, until I searched one out. If you do and there are servers listed under the Host Cache, they could be outdated and it wouldn't hurt to seek out a new one anyway.

Josh F'n Matthews. In fact, even if Cole doesn't go anywhere anytime soon, and I don't think he will, it wouldn't hurt to try out something like the three man format on SD. Cole doing PBP, Tazz throwing in his jokes, non sequiturs and the like, and Josh providing analysis.

I always put ketchup on my eggs. I also like my potatoes and scrambled eggs cooked as one. Delicious.

Now that Bob Holly and Sylvan Grenier are feuding, my life is complete. The fujiwara armbar is as credible as anything else and the shoulderbreaker to set it up was decent enough. Yes, it was just an armbar, but Burchill and Scotty each did their job in making it look like death. Yeah, I wish Burchill would have done something like in the videos, and he'll eventually need something besides the fujiwara eventually, but it's not like it's completely ridiculous like a legdrop, elbow or full nelson. The real test for Burchill in seeing whether he's truly neutered is still to come when he gets a singles match. Either way, the match was shot once fucking Funaki began throwing Burchill around and getting the better of him. And Simon Dean is awesome. Great expressions and facials, nice mic work, and there are a lot of little things he does that makes the gimmick work. It's cheesy, which is about the only criticism that holds water. There's just no place for any version of Nova at this time, especially Hollywood due to the relevancy of the gimmick, and it's not like Bucci would be treated any better if he were to go out as Nova. About the only thing the bWo could be used for is to shore up the tag division, and if WWE really wanted to, they could just pair up Richards and Dean and comedy heels.

And Dr. Girlfriend, which doesn't exactly fit the theme or point of the commercial.

It's just as well. He was a child molestation case just waiting to happen.

Don't bother with him when it comes to Benjamin, HTQ. It's a testament in itself that his heat isn't completely shot by now, like Jericho in that way. They didn't follow up on the Triple H feud at all. Like HTQ said, it should have put him squarely in the upper tier. Not quite the main event certainly, but hovering around there so they could build him up properly, not with a half ass IC reign. Speaking of. Yes, he got the long title reign, but for the most part the bookers just threw him out there and apart from two instances that I can recall, gave him nothing in the way of angles or storylines to work with, and one of those was with fucking Snitsky. Then came his random disappearances from the show, which was pretty unacceptable, both for Shelton and the IC Title. Then came fucking Carlito and Masters making him look like a pussy not long after Shelton was shown as Shawn's equal. It's all fucking retarded and almost (although I don't agree with it) points to why those like Trecko don't care about him.
