Speaking of sucker, I have the feeling I'll end up being the sucker for buying the movie on what is essentially a barebones DVD. Yeah, it's all about the movie, but it still bothers me when better editions come out later.

Pretty weird to heat Josh reference the Flying Elvises from TNA.

That's certainly not the type of person I thought big time Christian and all around good person Molly would be into, but ok. Good answer by Shelton, too.

AKI Handicap matches. They seem pretty easy in the SmackDown engine, but I get my ass handed to me in WM2000/No Mercy, and more recently, Def Jam Vendetta. I remember playing DJV last year, thinking I had the big handicap match in the story mode won, then getting ganged up on and beaten. That always upsets me. I think I even came onto the forums and ranted against handicap matches, but was told to just stop sucking at the game (fair enough).

Has RVD signed a new deal yet? If he doesn't, I don't think they'll be releasing this after the fact.

That's along the lines of what I was thikning too.

Silly marks. They think Flair owned Raw.

So... should a OAO TEW Thread get made? Should it be merged with this? I guess that's up to a mod but I'm throwing it out there...

Well I suppose this is as good an excuse as any to FINALLY buy some Ram. My monitor is about to die any day now (repeatedly wacking it to get rid of the pink/purple haze it covers the screen with isn't cutting it these days) so perhaps I can get a bigger one where 1024 won't be a big deal. Sadly, I had read "Average .400 program requirements" above as "TEW Requirements", and assumed I'd get by. Then the game tells me it needs 500-something MB of Ram to run optimally and recommends removing some of the countries. Oh well.

Well, another problem is you go from EWR to this monster. It's going to take a bit more than a 1 day trial to pick up all the nuances of this game. From the very little I tried before realzing that with 64MB of ram, I need to start a new game with no other countries but North America, almost nothing was EWR-familiar. It's a whole new learnign curve. I think once people learn it, they'll love it. Unless they don't want something with depth, then I don't know.

The trial overwhelmed me... I have a 3 1/2 year old computer with very little ram, so it was taking forever to go the 2nd day. I don't know who anyone is, or where I can talk to someone who should be yelling at me to do things to the roster or get sponsors (I miss Sophie). My resolution is normally 800x600, so I wasn't used to the higher resolution and had a difficult time seeing. However, it seemed really indepth, and if/when RaveX or someone posts a hack or whatever you want to call it to revert everyone and everything to real people and companies, I may just order it.

The Dragon Whip is a great move but I dislike it as a finisher. Maybe he can go back to using the 450 splash.

I remember back in 97, people were convinced Crome Dome or Thunder Dome (the bald guy) was supposed to be Steve Austin. Crazy kids. I liked being Black Belt (TAKA) in World Tour, considering he was a WWF regular at that point.

I just had a stellar idea for a TEW update for people who really want to be in-depth about their merchandise sales. You pick the wrestler you want to market a DVD for, how many discs it is, the MSRP, and using the event archive, pick out what matches go on it, then track its sales. I should have thought of all this earlier.

Well lucky it will say "WWE Championship" then, eh? Sorry for being all anal about that. Should I be saying 'anal' in a thread about Bradshaw?

No, Meltzer is wrong. Bradshaw is filler because there is no April PPV. Angle or Booker T will face Eddie at Judgment Day because I said so, and because I don't want Bradshaw main eventing. The plus side of it possibly being accurate is, as mentioned, we know Eddie isn't losing to him.

If the HDD can't be used to save game data like Xbox's, then there is no point, unless you're big into online games that require it. I'm not.

Well, I was happy for Benoit when HHH left, but I'm not terribly concerned with him back either. Let's review... FACT: Backlash's main event has already been signed. HHH is not in it. FACT: Credible news sources said HHH was planning on working with Edge at Backlash, not Benoit. At the time this made it seem HHH would be retaining at Mania and moving away from Benoit, but it appears HHH is having one of his rare Non-Title PPV matches this month. FACT: HHH has to go film his movie soon. Is Benoit just a champion waiitng to lose it back to HHH? Most likely yes. Will he be losing it HHH anytime soon? The facts seem to suggest the Bad Blood at the earliest. Will Benoit's run be meaningful and well pushed until he loses the strap back? Tune in and see.

Ok, so, after reading some thoughts and looking over the roster and anticipating posible surprises, this seems to be the list of eligable candidates: Shane McMahon, Paul Bearer, Dean Malenko, Linda McMahon, Dawn Marie, Teddy Long, Vince McMahon, Jonathan Coachman, Johnny Spade, Matt Ditilliano, Tazz, Michael Cole, Sable, Macho Man Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, Triple H, Roddy Piper, Stephanie McMahon, or Steve Austin. Probably Shane or Teddy.

Just to clear up the fact some people are debating if something wil lactually be announced on WWE.com tonight, right from a recently posted headline on WWE.com...

The tag title match was very weird... during the break, RVD put a rest hold on Flair... causing us to raly for the heel to break it and make the tag? The crowd was really into Flair, and unfortunatley Batista comes with him.

I'm shocked that didn't get on the show. This happened after 11:15pm. The segment ran very long. The way it was going down, it seemed like it was all being shot for TV, but once I looked at my watch to see how late it was, I realized it must have been cut off at some point.

There were major Cena chants for the first 2 Raw draws, the first not being very audible on TV but I could hear the 2nd one when I watched the tape. The people in my area, myself included, were really looking forward to seeing him that night, so we just exploded when he finally came out.

I have yet to watch the tape from Raw last night and listen to the commentary, but they seemed very seperated this week (and last week as well), seemingly their issue resolved with Christian beating Jericho and getting Trish, leaving Jericho beaten and mad but with nothing he can do about it. I'm not saying a rematch is out of the question, or that this finish is even a good one, but I haven't seen much emphasis on the feud lately. Though I figured since last night Shane was going to be the new GM, I also can't think of any other reason for Long to be on SmackDown unless he's going to be the new GM. I mean, yes, he could manage some people, but who? Orlando Jordan? Or is he going to drop the racist thing and manage some whitey tag team like the Bashams? Actually, the latter sounds very reasonable.
