The Ghost of bps21

the joke, as usual, is on Vince anyway... since he keeps signing the checks.

The "I'm paying ten dollars" thing really is a lame complaint. Complain about the product because you pay for it... but to complain about paying for it puts the responsibilty on the buyer. That's why I don't bitch about how much I didn't like No Way Out because it cost 30 bucks...I complained because it sucked. The money thing is a personal choice...and the only response that should ever be given to someone saying "I paid to see this" is..." Then Stop".

I think Raven/Jarrett ending had more to do with... RAVEN NOT SIGNING HIS NEW CONTRACT UNTIL TWO WEEKS LATER WHILE HE, RUSSO AND JARRETT BITCHED ABOUT BACKSTAGE THINGS. You can't put the title on a guy refusing to sign a contract.

Until that day... Show me how HHH did any of that. Let's see HHH drop the belt to someone 5'10 who's more over than he is.

"What's the difference going to make? That basically means Raven, D-Lo, and every other top face is going to job to JJJ clean after being berated much like RVD, Booker T, and Kane jobbed to HHH clean after being berated not too long ago, and AJ is going to play JJJ's ass-kisser like Jericho does to HHH and Evolution" oh get over it. Jarrett feuded with LEGEND after putting the belt ON SOMEONE ELSE and then putting Daniels in a heavyweight feud. Call me when HHH lays down for Jericho and then feuds with Batista before getting into a real feud with Hurricane.

Everything else is pretty much where I had it. I put the 4 way at about *** which is my rating for "Fun match that was less about being a match than being fun". *** is the best a match of that description gets from me. I think most people will know what I mean.

What bob said is part of it for me too. I actually thought it was pretty exciting...but I've seen so much more from Eddy and Benoit especially...that **** just doesn't seem right to me.

**** for the US title match? Maybe I'm just used to the Dames that tends to be more timid with his star ratings so that they mean more when they are dished out... but I did not see a **** match last night...let alone a Dames ****

"Cast-off" fits them quite snugly. WWE's rejects = ECW & TNA's stars. Does this say more about the WWE's writers inability to find a say to use Raven and D-Lo...or about their percieved worth. I mean...is it their fault that WWE couldn't write them anything...ever.

Hey, I feel the same way when I read your columns. -=Mike Looking at your opinions and overrating...I'll take that as a compliment.

HBK as good as Flair. ... HA...HAHA...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Keep 'em coming man...it's getting hard to see the screen through the tears of laughing so hard.

HIAC better than Mania 13's Austin/Bret? ... HA...HAHA...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

RAW Side: Dudleys vs. La Resistence - 3/4 * Would have made a nice RAW match... Shane vs. Bisch - ** for entertainment...DUD for match quality. Would have made a great RAW segment... RVD vs. Kane - *1/2 Kane slipping off the ropes killed any monster he could have been. Would have made a nice RAW Main Event. EC - **. Surprisingly entertaining stuff that was the absolute proper way to use Goldberg for a change. HHH retaining while doing zero work was a joke. Especially since the actual booking finally got Goldberg over. So the RAW side contained nothing that really felt like PPV quality...which makes me excited for Unfogiven. ... Smackdown Side: Taker vs. Albert. 1/2* Nothing good here. US Title match - *** Good fun all around. Some real nice spots, right man went over. Really fun match. Angle/Brock- ***1/2 Got better as it went on. Finish was a shocker...so that's good. Interference was minimal...but I did have to see all 4 McMahons LIVE! on the show. Overall: Smackdown owns RAW even when half the talent isn't on the show. NOT a good Summerslam. Decent for a WWE ppv this year though.

*Jumps back in* Sakuraba will be a first ballot HOF next year.

*Also jumping in late* HBK still doesn't belong in there.

Open Range didn't have a huge drop off...which is nice.

Many of us have seen this before Choken. It is the system and it's just the beginning. Soon more and more discs won't run in it...and eventually you'll have a nice paperweight.

Yes...that's even better.

I want a Boston vs. San Francisco final... and then for an impromptu strike to cancel the Series just so neither The Sox nor Barry Bonds can finally win their series.

AJ Styles should have been in the top 10. I've skimmed a couple PWI's lately just to see how they cover TNA...and I was surprised to see that they treat it as bigger than I thought. Styles really should have been in the top 10 if RVD is going to sit there after having no good matches, winning no important title, missing 2 ppvs including WrestleMAnia AND getting less over in the past year. And RVD's my favorite wrestler! Anyway... did Jarrett make the top 50? He's the only one to do so every year that the list has existed...so every year I'm curious to see if the streak continues.

I agree with Choken that they did enough. I had this same conversation with my friend this week, and he made the point that a simple "You never know what's going to happen" type line would have been better... But I don't really believe that it was going to sell more tickets in the first place.

Henry could have gone back in if it were a real game, they were just being cautious. He'll be there week 1.

I know they listen to their fans more than the WWE does...therefore making them my bestest weekly wrestling option.

Your opinion means as much as anyones... It just happens to be very much placed in the minority... so acting like a baby when most people diagree with you is what makes it not matter to anyone

I actually came to like the concept halfway through the match.
