Don't forget the dreaded syndication cuts. It may not be a big deal but when you KNOW a joke is supposed to be there and it isn't.. argh. Syndication cuts out a whole set of jokes with Dr. Colossus in the 7th seasons "Who Shot Mr. Burns II" that I quite enjoy. I also enjoy commentaries from Groening and co., though if your DVD commentary experience is based on Family Guy I wouldn't blame you for questioning it as being worthwhile.

I knew I should have subbed out Matt for Orton (I have $500,000 not doing anything to make up for the cost). Matt doing nothing on Raw while I assume Orton will at least appear on SmackDown cost me some points.

Crisis averted, Canadians. Tennis has ended.

If this Golovin woman doesn't hurry up and beat this Sprem woman (who has a Triforce on her racket), this tennis match may have to go to a third set, delaying Raw on TSN. Ok, looking good, blonde chick just needs to win once more and the game is over.

Yep. Mmm-hmm.

Apparently the previously announced Stacy vs. Victoria match was cancelled because they forgot Victoria was promoting something overseas.

Fantasy Board already ruled Eugene/Angle is non-title, non-specialty in case yo uwere wondering. I'm wondering if in the next 55 minutes I should sell Matt for Orton to at least round out the Raw/SD balance, but I can't see it making much of a difference so I'll stick with what I have. That said, they'll probably announce Orton/Taker as a Casket Match on SmackDown! screwing me out of Specialty points. Then again, they could just as easily declare Matt/Edge a non-sanctioned street fight.

Didn't that preview used to say Stacy and Victoria had a match tonight? Ashley already got naked under the name Ryan MacKenzie and I've been thinking al llong it's Miss Elisabeth's to win, so she will.

Unrelated to anything here but congratulations HTQ on another Wrestling Professor Trivia victory. This week's Quiz is about the Observer itself so I suspect this is yours for the taking.

I received an e-mail from Andrew Martin from Pizza Pizza customer service aplogizing for a screwed up order. Since said pizza company is based out of Ontario, persumably Toronto, I assume that is in fact Test.

Is that why I can't buy or sell anyone? I made sure to fix my roster on Saturday (it's all Raw guys save for Rey and Batista, and I was hoping Rey would be getting Specialty Match points, which I now know he is... I think the rest is Angle, Eugene, Matt, Cena, and Jericho... Cena/Jericho are good for points tonight (specialty, no less) and Summerslam) but if so that sucks. I thought it was saying that noon is when scores are posted. Edit: "The deadline to make roster moves for Week 10 is Monday , August 15 at 7:00 PM ET" and I once again have Buy/Sell options for the week if I wish to change it up. You should be ok. Of note, I noticed a lot of people, even near the top of our league, have people like Hassan or Morgan on their roster, so I guess there is not a lot of interest in this thing.

While this isn't good when he decided to push himself and attempt to get no one else over but him, when he has to step aside, the fact remains that he loves the business and would want to do what's best for everyone in order to make money.

Can someone explain to me why papers hanging from the rafters are more offensive than rape, terrorists, or wishing your oppoenent dies in a car accident? Dave Scherer sounds really pissed. At least Meltzer just called it "absurd".

A caller, who sounded very well spoken and an all around smart guy, asked Meltzer on the radio show tonight about this. Meltzer confirmed it to be accurate but didn't have all the details. From what he knew, Frankie pitched an idea to a writer who said "Are you here for a lights out match?".

Example: Johnny Devine was sqaushed by Tomko in 10 seconds on Heat tonight.

Dude, you get to jump off a bed!

WWE.com confirmed the rumour that SummerSlam would be a ladder match.

Fufill Your Fantasy match: http://www.amy-net.org/gallery/categories....06d4da816e14fc0 I think Gamespot has some new videos up too.

I thought the psudo-outdoor look of WMXIX was super. Off topic, but kinda on topic, the last time I watched the show it sounded like I could hear a train during some of the matches. I beleive someone I spoke with on IRC explained that whole deal to me but it's kinda weird to hear during a wrestling match.

"Forbes" Field (in reality Ford but you're now the 2nd person I've seen call it that in a week, the first being Meltzer) also has a roof and I suspect it will be closed. I'm not even sure that it opens (I don't think it does, I've only been there once and it did not appear retractable... people who watch football o na regular basis might know better though).

We're basically at a stage where more often than not, the title will be defended against the same opponent for a few PPVs. IF they go Batista/JBL right to Batista/Orton, what do they do next? This way they're spacing themselves out. This isn't necessarily a good thing for the fans, but it probably helps them. After SummerSlam they have two months to make a new challenger that probably won't win (let's say Batista/Eddie at No Mercy) then they can do Batista/Orton at the bigger Survivor Series PPV. If they og the same way they did last year, they can do Batista/Eddie/Orton/JBL at Amrageddon, then they build to whoever his WM opponent will be (and if Lesnar isn't back, it might actually be built towards Orton anyway). This is, of course, assuming Batista keeps winning.

An interesting note from the Fantasy Board in their kayfabed way of speaking:

Huss!

But he does have Pac-Man tights! Also tassles are not for heels.

Can't wait, hope I get mine on Monday.
