Oh, and another thing... The Tholian and the Gorn looked sweet. Better than Tin Foil Eyes Gorn.

Interesting note about the Mirror Universe that I read about on TV Tome. Whereas the Enterprise is the ship that makes the big changes in the universe (whether it's NX-01, NCC-1701, NCC-1701-A, Enterprise D, or Enterprise E)...in the Mirror Universe it's Defiant. In the 22nd Mirror Century, Defiant was what ended the rebellion and caused the complete control of the Terran Empire. And 200 years later, the Defiant was what caused the Terrans to get an edge over the Klingon/Cardassian alliance.

This got me wondering... Did Jerry Lawler ever have anything to say about Race being given the King gimmick in WWF when Lawler was using it? Just a thought I had.

I think Christian/Flair is more likely. After all, Christian has had more interactions with Flair than he has the Tripster.

OK...after that HBK/Shelton match, I was wondering... What are some contenders for TV match of 2005 thus far? Two off the top of my head: RAW Shawn Michaels vs. Shelton Benjamin SD Kurt Angle vs. Marty Jannetty Any others?

Oh, and for discussions DURING the show...as always: http://www.hosted-forum.com/index.php?boar...own&showforum=1

Drunk off his ass and proclaiming another wrestler is the greatest of all time?

Stephanie?

I'm guessing the Palpatine/L. Skywalker match wouldn't count since it is a glorified squash, huh? Though the face turn for Vader at the end was good.

OK...WWE Backlash is over and done with, and thus, we move on to set up the next Raw PPV (don't feel like checking to see what it is...I'm guessing Bad Blood). Let's do a match by match breakdown, and see what the future could possibly hold for the participants. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP Shelton Benjamin © d. Chris Jericho Shelton Benjamin continues to hold the IC title, holding it since October. He's rapidly approaching, if not having surpassed, Orton's reign in length in a short time. However, he hasn't defended the belt nearly as much as he could have, admittingly. Personally, if they could find the right challengers for him, I would say that Benjamin should get an IC title reign longer than even The Honky Tonk Man's reign with the belt. Then, in a VERY competitive match, he loses it to someone who has proven themselves in the ranks. ...Heck, maybe even Hurricane if this tag team run goes good for him. As for Chris Jericho, you know that, after the way he was building his obsession with gettting back at Shelton for the win that Shelton had over Jericho at Taboo Tuesday. So, I can see Jericho slowly start snapping again. Face Jericho just hasn't been working well, and maybe a really STRONG heel push is what he needs. Sure, it's only been one year, but who knows...it could be what his career ordered. A trade to Smackdown, forcing him away from Shelton and his revenge, could add to that as well. TAG TEAM TURMOIL WINNERS: The Hurricane & Rosey. First off, let me just say that this pleased me. Hurricane's first title since his tag team title reign with Kane back in 2002...it warms the heart. Anyway... I'd like to see Hurricane and Rosey be a surprise team that gets good upset wins...building them into great champions that prove themselves by their hard work. Build them up as best they can, even with the gimmicks. However, I have a gut feeling that a quick loss of the titles is in order. To who? Scroll down a bit. LAST MAN STANDING Edge d. Chris Benoit To fully sell this match, I think Benoit should be out this week on Raw. Say his head injuries were so severe that he was told to stay off Raw tonight, Doctors and GM's orders. This could build Edge even more, as he could say that he was the man that Crippled the Crippler, even if just for a short time. From there...well, haven't thought much. Of course, he still has his contracted match. But who KNOWS what they're planning for that. Kane d. Viscera Well, since Vis doesn't have Trish anymore...and has gotten face reactions for what he's done...and I can't see anything else good to do with them...hell, if neither get traded, have Kane and Vis become a tag team. It could build the ranks...give some teams (including the champs) a challenge to face. Hogan and HBK d. Hassan & Daivari. No clue on Hogan and HBK. If they aren't planning on keeping Hurricane and Rosey as champs, expect Hassan and Daivari to win the titles very soon. Tomorrow night at the earliest. Though, Hassan could possibly be upset at Daivari losing for his team.... WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP Batista © d. Triple H Obviously, the Pedigree with no ref spot is a set up for Batista/Trips III...most likely in a Cell. From there, who knows? OTHER: Trade Christian to Smackdown ASAP. I want a Christian/Cena WWE title feud. ...Scary thought...Edge World Champ, Christian WWE Champ. Anyway, thoughts?

I'm tempted to put a picture of Hurricane and Rosey with the tag titles in my signature...since having Molly there still is making me sad.

What's missing from the 89 Rumble?

Any Top 100 without the arcade Popeye game is crap. </joke> Seriously though...I'm slightly surprised that no Mega Man games are on there. Guess they didn't stand the test of time as well as the others on the list.

Did the Rock do anything besides that crappy song about Pie? Yeah. His entrance music over the years.

Umm. Dude, you said that to CanadianChick. And she's beautiful. And she's a moderator. And you're sucking up. Embarassing. Anyway; how come Diesel didn't win the title when Undertaker pulled him under the ring in the steel cage match at In Your House Feb 96? Because, while it was under the ring, it was not outside of the shape of the ring. If he got him outside of the ring area, then he would have won.

Maybe, maybe not. Think...now Batista knows what the Pedigree feels like, he knows now, if he can find a way, to soften the blow of the Pedigree.

Perhaps this Family Guy ep was made before My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss was cancelled?

Batista vs. HHH Batista. And hopefully HHH takes some time off after this to just go away. And very doubtful...but I'm hoping Batista does the Warrior no-sell to the Pedigree. Edge vs. Benoit I'd say Edge has to win this, since he's got the Number One Contender's contract on the line. It's the only way that I see it could really work...even though I like Benoit better. HBK & Hogan vs. Hassan & Daivari Mega Maniacs 2.0. Which will lead to... Tag Team Turmoil As I stated above, my gut feeling is that they'll repeat the spot with how Batista and Flair first won the titles...Regal and Tajiri playing The Dudleys, and Hassan and Daivari playing Flair and Batista Benjamin vs. Jericho Hmm...it's a toss up. Personally though...I'd enjoy it if they had Benjamin beat Honky Tonk Man's record for the IC title reign. So, just by that, I'll pick Shelton. Kane vs. Viscera Viscera...just because back in 1995 he gave me an autographed picture of himself back when he was King Mabel.

Bad News Allen/Brown?

Carlito looked almost like that before too. Except you could see some leg covers for him.

And charisma... and overness. I was trying to be nice.

Kidman is Gangsta Rick Rude...minus the gyrations.

I find it funnier that the ring announcer had to be told of the rules and looked surprised when saying who was still the champ. Well you are forgetting that it was Torrie Wilson who was the ring announcer at the time. Can someone explain why WWE even keeps Torrie Wilson around? Vince likes the boobies.

Maybe THAT'S why he has no personality!

I find it funnier that the ring announcer had to be told of the rules and looked surprised when saying who was still the champ. Well, look who the ring announcer was. To quote Lawler at Mania X about Rhonda Sheer... You blow in her ear, she says "Thanks for the refill"
