Did the auction end? It was totally legit they where talking about it on WCBS 880 Radio in New York City and they said that it was legit so I do not understand why E-Bay pulled it. Thanks. I believe the local phone company stepped in. They're the ones who actually own the number, so technically this guy couldn't sell it.

Let's get this one out of the way early: Orton's RKOops on Jericho. EDIT: NYU beat me to the punch

5 matches on Velocity? Maybe one of them is on SD! Looks like A-Train/Jordan is a dark match, making it 4 matches on Velocity.

Velocity: A-Train vs. Orlando Jordan (might be a dark match) Paul London vs. Sakoda Rey/Kidman vs. Knoble/Nunzio Rikishi/S2H vs. FBI (Palumbo/Stamboli) Shannon Moore vs. Rhyno

And the WWE has no one to blame but themselves. They basically forced Kendrick into quitting, breaking up a team face that was over/getting over on Velocity. The released Kanyon, who could have been used in a team. FBI

Meep meepmeep meep?

Why? This isn't ECW. WWE is about as hardcore as a rose petal. That's not the point. I mean WWE's "hardcore" style. Y'know, tables, chairs, garbage-cans, ladders, ect. Just have them NOT use tables or chairs to win. I think this would be the only way to go in order to get them over as heels. If they just get sadistic & use "bad language", the crowds would love them even more. They put women through tables, and get face pops. They'd have to ditch the table spots, ditch the "wazzup", and just totally makeover their characters to go heel. Just being sadistic isn't going to do it.

I expect to see an "Animal Crossing 2" review when it comes out.

Simon/Swinger and EZ Money would be the only guys I'd have any interest in seeing brought in.

He's used it more than that. By my count: Benoit, Rey, Orlando Jordan, and maybe Shannon Moore.

In that case, it may be a loooooooong wait. If he's not over after the Foley feud, they've got problems.

Not necessarily. The Rock push worked because he has insane amounts of charisma & mic skills. Brock worked (eventually) because he's got a great look and is scary strong. Both these guys had something special. Orton really isn't displaying anything special that makes him stand out, and unless he does, you can't guarantee he'll be getting good reactions on the basis of being pushed constantly.

Do they leave in Flair calling Bisch an asshole?

Now, I didn't see the match (I'll probably pick up the DVD, though), so I'm only going off SK's review for the "blow-by-blow", and I could be way off base here, but: You could probably chalk up Brock's submission work against Eddy as Brock realizing he underestimated Eddy. Eddy had withstood Brock's opening salvo, and now Eddy had been pouring on the offense, so Brock realized he'd better slow Eddy down by using submissions to regain control of the match. Further, Brock's knee had been worked over, so he also realized he may not be able to rely on his power moves w/ only 1 good leg, so he switched up to submissions to compensate, as well as giving his knee some time to recuperate. But, yeah, they should feed him some people to submit to some of his submissions to build them up. As for the Brock Lock, he's only used a few times, so they're probably saving the reversal of it for a special occasion. If Benoit stayed on SD, we probably would have seen Benoit reverse it/fight out of it at WMXX. While it would have fit the whole "Eddy overcoming all the odds" storyline, ideally he should have fallen victim to it first in order to figure out how to get out of it (like Benoit).

The RVD one isn't that bad. They resisted the urge to put some stupid slogan in 50-point font on the back. Very simple & to the point.

Not yet, no. But Europe is. Draw your own conclusions. But declining population has nothing to do w/ legalizing gay marriages.

But how would legalizing gay marriages have any impact on hetero marriages in this regard? I can't see hetero couples being dissuaded from getting married if gay marriages are legal.

I thought it was because HHH needed someone to make him look good at WM, while not being able to greatly overshadow him (in HHH's eyes) at the same time. Cena was the other guy rumored to win the RR and jump to Raw to face HHH. Hmmm, I wonder why they chose Benoit instead?

Wasn't it supposed to be Lesnar & Knoble, not Angle? Anyway, a nice read. Don't even joke about that.

No feud. They'll just build up the FBI so Taker can knock them down. Again.

That doesn't exactly fill me w/ hope. And the thing w/ the Bashams is, they never gave the fans a reason to hate them. They had basically 1 feud w/ Eddy/Chavo, but the feud really only served at the catalyst for the breakup of Eddy/Chavo. Aside from that, they were just booked w/ a match here & there, w/ a lot of focus on Shaniqua, rather than the team. It's a shame, because Doug has talent. They started having some good matches towards the end of their run.

Probably job out the FBI to him for the *3rd* time.

Being on the cover makes it more "eye-catching". If you're walking by a bunch of DVD's, you probably aren't reading each title. But if his picture is on the front, people would be more apt to notice the DVD.

I actually don't mind the design, but they should have put him on the cover, too.
