El D, I just read your concession speech. Good stuff. THAT's what these tournaments are all about, because ultimately, 63 people have to lose. It's good to know for every Cena's Writer, there's a EHME's Torn Condom.

And now he's writing nothing!

Corpse was saying in a chat that it might have been a good idea to save Jeff's big spot for the Rumble itself leading to a no contest, because people be happy enough with the spot. I see what he's saying, but doing it on TV created some buzz, and buzz can equal buys.

I usually contact people via IRC or MSN. That's what I did last year, anyway... I don't think I need to resort to giving AndrewTS a "4 hour warning" on voting... just yet.

And I shall be nice to you in the future.

nl5xsk1's DQ'd votes puts me at a 26-25 lead. This is a run out the clock situation.

Some last minute kkk votes have put this at 24-23 for him. What will the next 8 hour bring?

Odd bit of synergy, Black Saturday has an ad for WWF Magazine featuring Tito Santana changing a young boys life by meeting him and the TNT debut episode chronicles this event.

I realized the other day they're not archiving these Raws or IC Title Histories anywhere when the link to the monthly line-up goes away. Also I'm going to have to look into that Edge/Orton match being "the night after Vengeance". I was in DC when they had a great match, but I was at home to watch Vengeance at a movie theatre. It had to have been the week after, or is a completely different match. Edit: Yep, Vengeance was July 11th.

Yeah, I figured it was possible that some people may have been voting anything but WWE due to being disgusted over Montreal / Melanie Pillman being dragged on TV (winners of "Most Disgusting Promotional Move" to boot). Mid-Month Update for 24/7 Online: Raw: Episode 13, April 19, 1993 | Approx. run time: 45 mins. Following a challenge made on the previous Raw, Money Inc. takes on The Beverly Brothers in tag team action. Also, catch Razor Ramon, Tatanka and Bam Bam Bigelow in singles matches. Finally, Bret Hart gives his first in-ring interview since his loss to Yokozuna at WrestleMania. Check out this huge episode of Raw. Raw: Episode 14, April 26, 1993 | Approx. run time: 44 mins. A new era begins on Monday Night Raw. Exit Rob Bartlett and welcome Bobby "The Brain" Heenan as part of the announcing team. However, Heenan might be nervous because Lex Luger put his undefeated streak on the line against Crush. Also, Shawn Michaels has an exclusive interview as he discusses his Intercontinental Title defense the following week against Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Raw: Episode 15, May 3, 1993 | Approx. run time: 41 mins. The only two Superstars on the Raw roster today who were also part of WWE in 1993 square off in this episode. Shawn Michaels defends the Intercontinental Title against "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Also, Doink the Clown takes on a very young X-Pac (as the Kamikaze Kid), and The Headshrinkers are in action. Don't miss this classic Raw. Raw: Mankind vs. The Rock, January 4, 1999 | Approx. run time: 14 mins. This might be the most historical match during the Monday Night War era. WCW thought it would be a good idea to give away the results of the main event of a taped episode of Raw. This idea turned very bad for WCW as a huge chunk of their audience turned the channel. Not only is this one of the most important matches in Mick Foley's career and the history of Monday Night Raw, but it might involve the loudest crowd reaction ever for a match. If you've never seen Mankind challenge The Rock for the WWE Championship, then you have to check this match out right now! Raw: The Return of DX, June 12, 2006 | Approx. run time: 13 mins. Mr. McMahon was determined to make Shawn Michaels and Triple H's life a living hell. Back in June 2006, Triple H was placed in a Gauntlet Match against all five members of the Spirit Squad. When it looked hopeless for The Game, Shawn Michaels came out for the save and DX was reborn. Catch one of the most memorable moments in Raw history. Raw: The Last 24/7 Hardcore Title Defense, August 19, 2002 | Approx. run time: 7 mins. The Hardcore Title is one of the most unique championships because it could be defended at any time with the 24/7 rule. When Eric Bischoff became the GM of Raw, the 24/7 defenses ended. However, to be fair, Eric Bischoff invited every Raw Superstar who was a previous Hardcore Champion to compete in a a 6-minute Battle Royal. The rules were simple; the last Superstar to score a pinfall in that 6-minute period was the undisputed Hardcore Champion. With such Superstars as Bradshaw, Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards and Terri, this is guaranteed to be the craziest 6 minutes ever! Raw: Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy, February 10, 2003 | Approx. run time: 14 mins. Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy wanted to prove themselves in WWE for two entirely different reasons. Jeff Hardy was tired of being considered just one half of The Hardy's and was hoping to score a big victory on Raw. Chris Jericho on the other hand wanted to send a message to his WrestleMania XIX opponent, Shawn Michaels. With both Superstars having a lot to prove, who would come out on top? Raw: Edge vs. Randy Orton, July 19, 2004 | Approx. run time: 15 mins. Randy Orton had lost the Intercontinental Championship to Edge one night earlier at Vengeance. The Legend Killer had held onto his title for nearly eight months, and wanted the title back. Orton cashed in his re-match clause as soon as possible. However, Edge had recently returned from neck surgery and didn't plan on losing the Intercontinental Title an time soon. With a victory on both Superstars' minds, who would walk out the Intercontinental Champion? Raw: John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels, April 16, 2007 | Approx. run time: 43 mins. When Shawn Michaels took on John Cena in a WrestleMania 23 re-match in London, nobody expected them to wrestle for nearly an hour. Check out for the first time on WWE.com what J.R. calls on of the greatest matches in Raw History and what WWE Magazine ranked as the best match on free TV in 2007. G-TV: Every Raw Moment, January 1, 2008 | Approx. run time: 15 mins. WWE fans can recall back in 1999 a random secret camera popping up on Raw with a "G-TV" logo on it. These videos were relatively short and always revealed a deep dark secret or embarrassing moment for random WWE Superstars. Whether it was Mark Henry having bad gas or Eddie Guerrero in the shower with some of the Godfather's hoes, you never knew what to expect on G-TV. To this day nobody knows who was behind the camera or if it will ever return, but for the first time ever, catch every G-TV video from Raw.

Christians and Jews fighting for each other. A very positive message from American Gladiators.

You could say Justice was "Tough Enough" to win Assault! Get it... Justice... Tough Enough... funny, right? Pyramid is pretty disappointing when there's no pseudo wrestling moves, but it was neat to see Monica pull the structure apart.

Yep. "Heroes Don't Die - THEY RELOAD". Rambo is going to be something else...

All the promos showing that spot couldn't prepare me for how funny it was.

I was about to say I was surprised they didn't cut to a commercial as the ref was starting the MXC rip-off event, but then they did.

Hogan does the Billy Graham speech. This ain't your event, Venom! She looks good soaking wet, though. Belinda sucks and isn't attractive. Go Monica!

"President Elias Khury "Priority Fire Equipment Inc" will be around 10:30a.m. Thursday @ 10:30a.m" What time?

So, the "Hebrew Hammer" goes down and is replaced by a Reverend. That's good writing.

The Hebrew Hammer! That sounds like the title of a movie I almost watched on TV. God, if this is how they're going to keep editing Powerball together, they shouldn't even bother doing it. It's awful to watch.

Worth noting, courtesy of the "10 Years Ago in the WON" articles on WO.com: And here this whole time I thought the smarks loved The Fed, all wondering how Nitro kept winning each week, concluding Turner had used his money to rig the ratings. Actually, now that I think about it, that doesn't sound "smart" at all. Either way, funny to think considering how often the comments in here are about how poor Nitro has been in 1997 compared to Raw.

Sometimes while watching Gladiators last week, especially when Wolf was on screen, I had a sudden nostalgic feeling for WMAC Masters.

In prime time on a national network though?

Whose going to write the cartoon?

I don't know what WWE's deal with that Dos Los Hombres match is. They've put it on 24/7 Online at least twice and I think it's even on the Pillman DVD too - it's not a good match! There were much better between Blondes and Steamboat/Douglas. I'm glad the Clash match with Steamboat is there - outside of it ending Steamboat's career, I've heard it's much better than the incredibly dull (to me) BATB 94 match they put on the What? DVD.

Oooh, 14-14 if I'm counting right.
