"She got some spunk, JR!" Yeah, in her belly. That's the only thing keeping her from floating away.

Wow, some one in the ring worse than Gail.

So, is Shane going to pop the question?

Coach did a white man's impersonation of a black man. Compelling. Finally, retribution for things like "Here are yuor winner, X-Pah" and "KeviN Test" or "Mark Jindrak, Shawn Palumbo, Chuck O' Haire...." Has she ever messed up the names of some one somebody actually cares about?

Lilian!!

Oh great, Shane's here to reinact the promo where Kane was at the casino. Cena hyping YJ Stinger! I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Christian's a heathen?

Yeah, if you're the McMahon family, it's your show.

Would it kill HHH to show some fear or not have the advantage for one second?

Be more specific. Mid 90's WWF? Early to mid 90's WCW? I think not.

Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain > Smackdown House Shows > Raw House Shows > Velocity > Heat > Raw TV shows > Smackdown TV shows

The guy main-evented Summerslam and is heavily rumoured to be fighting in the main event of Wrestlemania XX. By that same logic, Rikishi is a multi-time main eventer for years, having been in the Armageddon Cell match and many Royal Rumbles. And Goodear--that's another issue: Orton's already an upper midcarder on his way to the main in the office's eyes. Rather than using the low-card guys to move the midcard guys up, they have a static midcard consisting of guys they intend never to elevate, and use them to get over (or attempt to get over) guys like Orton, Jones, Cade, Jindrak, etc. The marks and smarks already like and have connected with guys like RVD, Booker, and Jericho--so WWE not utilizing them, and gambling them to try to make stars out of guys like Orton seems highly illogical. (Note: I'm not going to debate the pros/cons of those guys as main eventers, just using them as examples. Other than the career length--which isn't an advantage for Orton because he's been extremely injury prone so far--there's no real advantage to going with Orton. Plus, if that were really the problem, then why do we have the SAME guys on top for sooo long?

Hopefully the matches will be decent length and enjoyable. Rather than the type that is earning the E the name "World Resting Federation" in my book these days. Since it's SD and not Raw, maybe it'll be the good stuff, but still... Try to get a Sparky Sucks chant if Hardcore Holly comes out, and try to call Torrie a Filthy Skeezbag Whore if you see her.

I guess it'll be better than Smackdown, at least... *sigh*

Again with this earning a push stuff? Face it guys, no one earns much of anything in the entertainment business. Brock, Angle, and Goldberg didn't earn much of anything before they got their super pushes and those were about 10 times the amount of push that Randy has gotten. Angle was already over and had one or two good matches to his credit by the time the big push started. Also, Goldberg lost his heat when he was first defeated, and Brock was heatless (except for Summerslam) until around the time he beat Taker. By "earned," I mean mainly "seems to be worthy in the eyes of the fans." If you throw some nobody without a character, with lousy matches, and little promo time, people aren't going to care about him much or consider him worthy. Why should the marks give a damn about Orton. Tell me. All the time that could be used to build actual wrestlers and feuds between wrestlers is wasted on the Austin wankery and similar bullshit.

AND he's from OVW. Spanky and London aren't getting pushed now, you know.

Heheheh--I still think they'll give that gimmick to Orlando Jordan. I mean, WCW's had some silly gimmicks, but expecting us to buy a white guy as a basketball player these days is a real stretch. What college did he go to, by the way? WCW Special Forces U? ONE-UH!! You didn't hear his first couple of "live" promos? Freakin' horrible. But, I'm not telling you anything you shouldn't already know. BATISTA?!??!?!?!?

Yup, SD is the McMahons' and Taker's show, and even when WWE is committed to getting some one over, their lousy uncreative team will fail. No real news here. What, no news about the huge groans heard when the SD guys heard that Jones was going to be coming back? Sanders was a good mic worker, had a cool finisher, and didn't horribly suck in the ring. That put him above 95%+ of WCW 2000's roster as far as deserving a push. It wasn't like Orton earned his push. He was doing alright with RNN, then before you know it he's one of the Evolved Horses, sucking up to HHH and having Flair bow to him. That doesn't sit too well with many smarks. Unlike now in Orton's case, there weren't a ton of more deserving guys back in WCW in 2000.

It would be funny if some smarks got a noticeable "SPARKY SUCKS!" chant going during Survivor Series. Personally, I kinda dug Holly as the Big Shot, but he's not really done much besides that. Yeah, he's a tough bastard for finishing that match with Angle with the broken arm, but he hasn't really done anything to warrant a push, really, like...get over again, or have decent matches, or act professional and gain the respect of his peers.

Well, those are two guys who likely got swirlies when they were little kids. Geez, if you're in OVW and weren't born with a marketable name, you're screwed when you come to WWE.

Guilty as well. It was the first video game I ever owned (not played, because that would be one of the Mega Man games I believe, over at my cousin's).

He's also gotten an X-Box game (I think) and GBA game (I'm certain), don't forget.

Click here. Too many good ones to give examples, but just check 'em out.

Marks are usually extremely stupid, so yes.

Well, I was certain that some people would know, but still... Downhome: Is that from Bad Dudes or the sequel? Also, I could really picture Dubbya there instead of his daddy. Just needs a "BRING 'EM ON!" added somewhere. I wonder if that's an insult, or a compliment... Those wacky, racist Japs! Uhhhh...damn. Houston and Jasmine St. Claire got nothing on them I guess.
