Greatest Lord's Prayer in television history.

Draft =

I haven't read the Observer this week so it very well could be in there, but that whole thing is actually an opinion piece by Alvarez in the F4W from earlier in the week. It was a really good read too.

I know I sound like I'm ripping off Scott Keith now, but seriously, the graphic saying "Bear" was absolutely hilarious.

I was skimming some of the chapters on Disc 3 of the SNME set today - gotta love how they explain the move to FOX. Was it because ratings were tanking by 1991? A thousand times no! They were so high that they could tender the show to the highest bidder, that being Fox.

Not a great channel that's gone downhill, but this seems like the place to complain about it: Every morning when I get home from work and turn on my TV (since it's the main light source in my room if I don't turn the light switch on at the top of the stairs), I often have the Seattle Fox affiliate on as it was the last thing I watched before heading to work. I can't believe in 2009 that their morning news is broadcast in standard def only - to me, this is a complete embarrassment to the station and a poor representation of the Fox brand.

People shouldn't be banned for being terrible in this part of the board. What's next, banning me for being unfunny in Graphics?

Prime Time and a 2nd MNW (which would have been a repeat of the Raw we see every Christmas and the nWo Nitro, which I really wanted to review for F4WOnline as a historical look back) appear completely absent too, but March often throws the whole schedule out the door for Mania season.

Future WWE HOF Alert - Pete Rose is on the back of Gene's WWF Magazine shilling a Nestle Crunch bar.

Reading SKeith's recap of the show, I have decided I am watching TNT immediately upon getting home from work. It sounds amazing.

He ended up in WWE as Wildman Marc Mero.

There may be no Cryme Tyme after the draft. The latest WON notes Shad is "on the bubble" and that could be trouble for JTG if they don't want to use him as a singles guy. Shad was pulled from the Rumble as a "message that he needs to improve". "John Laurinaitis had a recent face-to-face meeting with him specifically telling him the company was unhappy with his lack of progress".

I was going to say that too, but then I remembered that a SummerSlam 92 dark match. However... The internet confirms that it was also the Mania IX dark match.

I'm also glad it's back to being a post-Mania draft. In theory, it should end (or at least help freshen up) the WWE's current stagnant routine of not changing post-Mania feuds until after Backlash or beyond. As for announcing, it definitely needs to be changed up again. Will it? Probably not, but to be honest it was only a few weeks ago that Cole opening up Raw didn't sound weird to me. For MONTHS I kept expecting to hear JR welcoming me to Monday Night Raw. Cole and Coach were terrible and he didn't have much time with Foley, but Cole and Tazz are an established team that I thought did fine (and at some points after the initial brand extension, better than JR/King) so that straight swap would be fine. For a big shake-up, you could make Raw JR and Striker, ECW be Lawler and Grisham, and SmackDown Tazz and Cole. If JR stays on SmackDown, I wouldn't mind Striker and Tazz being swapped.

5 stars. Kamala vs. Bam Bam at Mania IX - change history forever! The unlocked Coliseum Video exclusive. Could someone explain this to me please? Kamala vrs Bam Bam was scheduled for WrestleMania IX. It got cut from the live show and I believe it was a dark match. Further to this, there was a segment on the Coliseum release of Mania IX explaining the absence of the match. I don't recall exactly what it was and it's not on the Collection version I have of the show but spman swears it was an explanation about Kamala being in his native jungle. I thought he was just hanging out with an elephant at Caesars.

Discuss!

What did they change it to?

5 stars. Kamala vs. Bam Bam at Mania IX - change history forever!

Zen! I believe his sign was about kayfabe.

I'm a bit of the crazy today, yes?

So did anyone get the complete Vengeance 2002? With the problem I have with the Big Ones menu I have no way of knowing if I did.

The real thing to complain about are those lame looking real time prompt controls. It's this crazy nostalgic roster that's making me look past that nonsense to buy a game where I get to listen to Jim Duggan's theme and match Stone Cold Steve Austin against Koko B. Ware as the real main event of WrestleMania XIV.

For the record, I am buying controlling rights in TSM, firing Czech, promoting Kamala and mellow to take over my job, and banning YKRG forever. Edit: bps can get the fuck out too. I'm tired of his anti-Venkman pro-TNA ways.

YKRG is doing a lot of whining in 2009. I am not the only one. Everybody on ignboards, gamefaqs, caws.ws forums are complaining about the roster. This is the one game I was really looking forward to. STOP THE PRESSES! People on gamefaqs are being whiney bitches. Unprecedented.

Not very detailed for now. From F4WOnline: Show opens with Edge cutting a promo about winning the Elimination Chamber MVP beat Chavo Guerrero via DQ when Shelton Benjamin interfered. Chavo frog splashed MVP after the match Undertaker did a promo vowing to win the chamber Miz & Morrison b Carlito & Primo Colon in a match where the winners get to date the Bella Twins R-Truth b Ezekiel Jackson Maria b Michelle McCool when Eve Torres distracted McCool Show vs. Undertaker vs. HHH vs. Kozlov ended without a winner. Everyone was laid out and Edge was in the closing scene of the show holding up the title belt Cage match (not taped for TV): Mysterio & Jeff Hardy b Edge & Matt Hardy
