So I dreamed that whole period of "Paul Heyman's Smackdown" after Stephanie was replaced and before Heyman was to be drafted to Raw, quit, and Angle was put in his place? Oh wow, a completely unrelated and off-topic comment that somehow is supposed to validate you snapping and insulting some one. How very "you." I should expect this level of maturity from a James Bond fan, though.

Not necessarily. Would the same people watch a 95 show, or a 92 show, or an 80's show filled mostly with squash matches and roid monkeys? Probably the Raw audience is mainly the "core" WWE audience, but it doesn't mean that they're going to be interested in older shows. A lot of it would likely depend on what era, what stars they'd like to see, etc. Plus they don't know what sort of NWA or WCW stuff people would really want to see, since much of the core WWE and core WWE audiences were different. There was some overlap but there's a number of WCW fans who didn't feel compelled to watch the WWE after WCW died.

I believe he was referring to when Heyman was GM vs. when Angle was GM. I can't say I'm surprised that Zsasz would conduct himself like this...since he does it constantly....

So it'd be crazy to do a few test runs to see what sort of interest there really is in it...

Sounds sensible enough, so I don't know what he "backpeddled" on. However, the whole Flair/Hart mess turned out to be another example of how pro wrestlers tend to act like children a lot.

spot > friendship If you were Taker, would you job to Bradshaw clean and make him look like a million bucks? Bradshaw's a heel anyway, plus he's not exactly helping buyrates and ratings, so he's hardly some one Taker would probably consider tarnishing his stature on. Taker supposedly likes A-Train but that didn't stop him from making him his bitch at WMXIX.

But what you are proposing actually makes sense, which is something that WWE writers do not have. Eddy can't wrestle at Angle's pace or allow Angle to pace the match? I don't see what good an Angle/Cena program would do. Last year Angle won the blow-off rather decisively. Cena lost some momentum although he quickly bounced back. Angle would gain nothing from a Cena win and Cena would basically need to win to even out the score. If Angle loses to Cena it would be illogical to move into the WWE Title hunt. If Angle wins he might need to hold onto and defend the U.S. Title, but there aren't any competitors on his level aside from Cena. Would they trade it back and forth until one "stepped up" to the big picture? Besides, if Angle can stay healthy the main event picture is the best place to put him for now. Obviously there are advantages and disadvantages either way, but continuing the feud with Eddy would seem the most logical thing to do, and put Angle directly where SD needs him to be. The same could be said about HBK's title shots.

Very legitimate concerns all. Roger Corman did the crappy original F4 movie, though, right? What's he got to do with this one? *gasp* Look at all that unwarranted bitching. They need to be more positive, you know.

Angle's going to be wrestling again. Heyman's entrenched in Smackdown angles and probably will be staying on that show for a while. Austin's probably not coming back. Teddy Long's sorta busy. Doesn't it seem very likely a McMahon will be the new Raw GM if Bischoff goes? If anyone, hopefully.

After making last year's Summerslam suck, I thought it was just going to be one bad one after a string of great ones. Oh well...Angle/Eddy should be good and Raw should be able to produce some strong matches for the PPV. Taker and JBL I don't see meshing well, but even if JBL doesn't lose the title Taker's going to make him look like a total bitch.

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Heart. (Gooooooo Planet.) Mike Awesome already has the Cap'n Planet mullet. Captain Awesome!!! I'd prefer bad ass sentai outfits, though.

How much does Halle want? Dunno what she made for X2...but... "Salary: Catwoman (2004) $14,000,000 " Oh, by the way, she's apparently already cast for a 2005 remake of Foxy Brown.....Yes, she's playing Foxy Brown.

I'm in serious denial that that chick was Asian, btw. Me too. Apparently she's some mongrel spawned when two less-than-attractive specimens from two different races got together... Yeah, WWE wants to make people pay for nude photos of their "Divas."

EB is the only one close to me, but I have 2 Gamestops and an EB at a mall I frequent 30 miles way. The EB near me has the best service and quality of employees even though the prices usually aren't as good (they have some great deals a lot of the time, but typically they don't drop prices on the brand new games as quickly as they should. The prices at the Gamestops/EBs further away from me are generally better, but the service leaves much to be desired sometimes depending on the employees there at the time. Blockbusters aren't very close to me--there's a good one in Washington, PA I've been to, but the others I've been to charge too damn much for used games ($21.99 for a used Greatest Hits edition of Simpsons Road Rage? Screw you, assholes.) I've been at only one Gamecrazy, but I have no complaints. Only one employee, a female, in the Gamecrazy section (it was inside a Hollywood video) but she was sweet, hot, knowledgable and obliging without being overbearing. Prices were really good as well, being on par or cheaper than the EB/Gamestops in the area. EBs and Gamestops I've found to be pretty much the same, but EB seems to have the better service overall. EB replaced my lost discount card free of charge. Gamestop makes me carry around a receipt so they can type in my number. Plus Game Informer is a piece of crap magazine consistently, while GMR is almost always superior.

The series kinda ended on a sour note, because Sam accepted his fate and just kept "leaping" as he was needed--but it is as if they forgot the episode where he went home and his wife promised to wait for him until he had finished what he needed to do... So apparently they're actually going to resolve that.

Going by the NotLD plot, if the radiation that created the zombies in the first place was still active (and I'm assuming it would have to be or they wouldn't be walking around at all), the original zombies would have to be regular people who died of various causes--some natural, some murder, etc, since none of the originals would have been killed by zombies, they were just recent dead. So I assume dying of natural causes would indeed make new zombies. However, by that time people who are familiar with what they have to do will calmly, coldly sigh "Grandma's passed on...hand me the shotgun."

Johnny Thunder?

Your nuuuuuu Raw G.M. Stephanie McMahon!

With boxing gloves on and the way they'd probably hit, it'd be pathetic if they did.

I still think Diva Brawl 4 All would have been a much better idea...

"And as for what might derail her chances of winning... well, she's not a pneumatic blonde. The WWE doesn't have enough of those, although Bobbi Billard might contend otherwise... " Normally I'd agree, but Dawn and Hiroko are currently employed...

I think you're really overlooking the name value of "Stacy's Sister." Kitana Baker and that blonde girl seriously had more name value, status, and better looks than any of the girls in the contest, and that was a big waste of time too. Why would they care enough to be upset? How would they know would should have been the real winner?

"I am sure everyone is extremely excited about this Thursday’s show on Spike TV.” Pray for Jericho to bring the funny, smart guy. Caramello will win, because it has been a work from the start. Miss America semi-finalists are all asked to simulate oral sex with a banana, right?

Not as many times as JR/King, that's for sure. However, the possibility is there for that rumored "Divas" show. As I mentioned above, though, not even the densest of marks really believes an on-air firing is for real. When Bischoff "fired" Austin, for months afterwards marks still expected Austin to show up again. It's kinda like how during any match of importance the crowd is looking towards the entrance out of the corner of their eye waiting for the run-in.

Any idea what kind of distribution we're talking? Semi-nationwide?
