It's a funny thing, isn't it? But of course if he realized that he owns WCW and they aren't his competition any longer, we would never see such a DVD. In fact, all of sudden revision history would kick in big time. "WCW wasn't that bad. It made great use of veterans and younger, more acrobatic stars and had daring, ground breaking angles like David Arquette, world champion and the Viagra on a Pole match...."

I like this match selection, because I never get tired of seeing how WCW went to shit. But with the inclusion of the triple decker cage match and Sting/Hogan, are they actually going to imply that gosh, the orange roid goblin was actually at fault for some of this? If Hogan resigns with them before this thing is released, suddenly it's going to be full of Bret Hart matches.

How could anyone miss him? He sucks large. But even you don't agree with that, he was never on TV, so how could you miss him?

They'll add two more PPVs a year, but oddly enough, the average fued build time will not be visibly affected.

THE LONG-AWAITED DUET BETWEEN THE BOOTY MAN AND KWANG THE NINJA! The apocalypse must surely be upon us.

As I recall, someone on this board mailed Lawler after a particularly brutal night of HLA, Puppies, and Lawler vigorously rubbing himself. Lawler mailed back and blasted that person, basically saying that he is in fact told to say those things. Probably by Vince. Vince apparently thinks people will forget that Trish Stratus has large breasts if Lawler doesn't remind them every two seconds.

What happened here? I never watched WCW. WCW had some deal to promote the movie Bride of Chucky, so they had the sound of mysterious laughter fill arenas for awhile. Then, during a Rick Steiner promo, the source of the laughter was revealed to be Chucky. Steiner challenged Chucky to come down to the ring. This didn't go anywhere, because, well, Chucky was a puppet and couldn't wrestle a match. Well, actually Flair might have been able to carry him and probably has wrestled worse opponents than Chucky, but that's neither here nor there. This moment was featured on Wrestlecrap.com.

http://www.wwe.com/news/commentary/bradshaw/1252260 "Al Franken did a wonderful job every night entertaining the troops, a first-class individual. It doesn’t hurt that he is extremely smart and very funny. Now, he would disagree with my assessment of Al Gore and Howard Dean, but that is what makes America great. People can disagree and still be Americans." That thinking *really* comes across in WWE programming. [recalls Steiner/Nowinski "debate"]

As soon as some other high-profile act criticizes Bush or the war. Jane Fonda must be really grateful for the Dixie Chicks.

Teddy long should be managing heels that aren't great on the stick, or doing heel commentary. All figureheads in WWE should be reduced to making maybe four appearances a year.

It's the economy.

I don't know if everyone saw it, but on my broadcast there was an Orton video package "Paid for by The Friends of Randy Orton" like he was running for office or something. That made me laugh. If they'd do more shit like that, Orton might actually get a reaction.

Great job Dames. Between reviews like yours, and catching preview bits on Confidential, it really makes me realize just how shitty the product can be today. Flair and his opponents did 100 little things to make everything and everyone look important.

Flair: I know you're mad about losing the title shot Austin, so I promise I'll make it up to you. Tonight you'll have a tag team match with Bradshaw against the NWO...

I agree. Victoria must remain psycho. A psycho Victoria vs. Sadistic Jazz fued would rock. And I wish WWE would stop having the female wrestling run from the men. I think Victoria would have got a pretty big pop if she'd attacked Test, even if she wasn't able to do any damage. They'll like her just for having the guts.

Yeah, they'll probably put his announcing job on the line for the 10,000th time. I swear, they fight harder for those fucking announcing and GM positions than for the belts.

Yay, I can't wait for the Lawler's segment: Vince: When we get to Memphis, we should give Lawler a match where he goes over, because it's always nice to give something to hometown hero. Right Booker? Booker T: .... whatever you say. Asshole.

Randy Orton is on that list? I don't even have the strength to be sarcastic.

And that same night, Raw is renamed "Nitro" and OMFG Raven reforms ~THE FLOCK~!!!!!1111

Jacqueline gets my vote for least over on the roster. She can't wrestle. She doesn't have the looks. Her implants are freakishly huge. She's hardly ever on TV. When she is, even her hometown barely acknowledges her. Of all the people on the roster, her continued employment puzzles me the most. The only theory I can come up with is that if she's gone than they'll have to allow another black wrestler to win in Texas (Booker), and that can't happen.

I think the reason more people liked the RNN sketches is because they actually suited what was going on with Orton. With RNN, Orton was carrying on like he's A BIG IMPORTANT GUY...but in truth nobody cares about him, so he gets heat when he interrupts things to go on about himself. It was like a writer said "He'll get heat by acting much bigger than he actually is, and fans will boo him." With Evolution Orton, WWE carries on like he's AN EVEN MORE IMPORTANT GUY...but without the irony. They don't actually believe that Orton is a guy acting too big for his britches. They actually believe he is an important guy doing important things...but he isn't doing anything particularly noteworthy. Basically King Cucharacha got it right. WWE *thinks* they are giving him a God push. They aren't. They're giving him the exposure of a god push but without any accomplishments.

YES! Book it!

I don't want to see Nash wrestling (such as it is), booking, or commentating. He can be in charge of hairstyles.

Angle could go to Raw so HHH can yank down his shorts and show his thong. Or eat a few RKOs to try to get Orton over. Or finally get paralyzed after a sloppy belly to belly from Steiner. Or cut a promo, get Stunnered by Austin, who spends the next 10 minutes drinking beer and mugging to the crowd.

Bob Holly is getting a PPV match because he's been "loyal" to Vince. You know, he didn't sign that HUGE money contract that WCW offered him when they were big (wink, wink). If Barry Horowitz was still around, he'd have the title shot.
