It's too bad the thread is dead, I enjoyed this show. - I liked the opening. It was great to see ol Hacksaw out there, doing his thing. It also served to let use know that Deuce or maybe Domino still has a spot on the Raw roster. At first I thought it was going to be one of those deals where they say "the entire Raw roster" is there but for mystery reasons, Shawn Michaels is exempt (see: Randy Orton and John Cena vs. The Raw Roster) but he was just hidden really well, I guess. The best part of Santino's rap (besides it being awesome) was CM Punk maintaining character and having a disgusted look on his face while Candice and Kelly are right next to him cracking up. Duggan had a big smile too. - Kelly needs to wear those pants as often as possible. That was quite the top Candice was wearing for the PG WWE audience too. I believe the Divas elimination match is the first female elimination match since 1995 - they've all been pointless one fall tag matches since then. Not that this will be given time or be good. Maybe they'll have someone from the face side get injured backstage and re-debut Gail? Unlikely. - Shawn's feud with JBL needs to be done after Survivor Series and a feud with John Morrison must begin. - Overall, I was happy all the heels won. The old theory is you're supposed to buy PPVs to see the faces get their revenge but all too often these days, you get the face wrestlers standing triumphant after winning a match / beating up and chasing their opponent away from the ring. So, thumbs up all around.

Their current policy is no matches and limited screen exposure. He can beat someone up in an angle and appear in the background, but so far any speaking roles have been removed. There are often commentary gaps where I assume they are talking about Benoit, but sometimes that's fine too - I think the gaps are just talking about an upcoming Benoit match that isn't being shown.

Well, in easy creation you can make the entrances the same if you want, but I guess that option doesn't extend to advanced?

Also, who goes on the internet and makes several comments about Bad Boy without talking about the who's better than Bad Boy? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBOOOOODDDYYYY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AD_BgUE99U

Keith did mention it though. The bullet point of this is it's been mentioned by multiple net recappers.

1. That match sounds awesome. 2. I assume she will address things such as the show having no GM.

I also have bad math skills and didn't realize I needed a Round 7 pick too. That works, since I had 4th alternate I wanted to make a real pick. I also think Osama Bin Rotten or Colin Kapow might have been funnier wrestler picks (I particularly find Colina Kapow to be a funny name) but I stand by Iron Yuppie purely based on Homer's line "I hope they kill that Iron Yuppie".

I think I have my 8/9/10 picks mapped out with some back-ups floating around in my head. Officer Lou reminded me of a character that has nothing at all to do with Officer Lou (I began thinking of Wiggum quotes, such as promoting and demoting Lou to sergeant, which made me think of another quote for a possible character, than I realized there was an even better choice). I think I peaked with Martin Prince as a "major" character pick too, so I might be safe (though one of them is a bit iffy).

I blame Ghettoman. And wildpegasus.

He always was quick to defend that Joey Marella lad from verbal attack though.

Where people wanted to serious discuss things such as wrestling (and I really do have to laugh at the absurdity of such a thing, even if I fall into it), no, it was awful. At the bottom of the board, some found it the best gimmick in months. I admit in small doses there was some comedy, but gimmicks shouldn't be a diversion, not a derailment.

I know, I went there expecting to see some comedy about bad boi (whatever that is) and Orange Julius. What a waste.

I assume it's a reference to something popular that I don't follow. I guess people were too accepting of KRF's original gimmick so he amped it up to completely terrible. Just pretend nothing ever happened.

I figured it out, multiple paths for Rey/Batista.

Are the guys on tour back home yet, though? I assumed not since SD was already taped.

It's already Team Batista vs. Team Orton at Survivor Series (and Punk is on Batista's team). I suppose that could mean the available team members could run in and start a big brouhaha though.

I called mt finisher (poison mist into a Canadian Destroyer) "Mist Opportunity". I was pretty satisfied with myself with that wordplay. Edit: Taking another route in Jericho's RtWM resulted in no new bonus unlocks, so now I don't know where I went wrong.

Scroby and bob barron have their birthday on the same day, quite exciting! Happy Birthday to both.

That doesn't explain why I don't have it... or maybe it does, because we had opposite paths. I'll give it a go. I think I f'd myself out of the 1 Year achievement by accidentally skipping 3 weeks or so. I thought I was challenging for the belt on Raw!

I was surprised to find out that Gorilla was voted Worst Television Announcer six times (1985, 1991–1995) by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Dave explained this on a F4W radio show as many people in their 20s now don't get the hate. It was justified that, as an announcer whose job it was to get a story across and what have you, Monsoon would often chastise people for not hooking the leg or going for a pinfall after a move that obviously was not the finish. I enjoyed his say what you want style, but others in that era did not.

If you were to have a drinking game based on how many times someone mentions Tuesday, Texas, or calling the cable provider you're watching right now, you'd begin telling people that if they wanted to play 21, you have 22, and if they wanted to play Blackjack, you'd have four of those too.

He wasn't skipped, he was OTC. It's easy for that to happen when the picks expire in the early morning hours.

I saw it there the other day.

It is now Scroby's turn.

http://www.wwe.com/play/games/nicknames/ I was hoping Kendrick and Mitchell (as in Mitch) would have been a match, but it was not to be.
