I just don't want to see Regal beat up Eugene. Say what you will about Eugene now but that duo was really good, I just don't think having Regal heel on Eugene would be right.

There's still time for OVW to draft Michael Cole.

If thats the case, then why were they hyping the fact that tag teams can be broken apart via the draft? Well, they could have been on Monday. I didn't see SD! to know if they were hyping the Suplaft as a team breaker. And if they were... it was because they were mistaken. Whenever something like this happens, a wizard did it. Or, the McMahon incident has put things into chaos and no one knew what the rules were going to be.

ECW's first pick will probably be... Mark Henry.

Off topic, Canadian Brandon needs a name change. Yeah I love Canada and all but the "Canadian X" gimmick is well past played. "Brandon" is also too close to "Dragon" and I get confused easily.

As quickly as Raw gains an exciting tag team from SmackDown, Theodore Long’s brand strikes back by selecting one of Raw’s brightest young stars. At only 21 years of age, Dykstra is already a former World Tag Team Champion, and has been quite impressive since branching out on his own months ago. While he has been teaming with Johnny Nitro in recent weeks, Dykstra heads to SmackDown solo, where he will look to make his mark just as quickly as he did on Raw. Dykstra also becomes the fifth Superstar to switch from Monday to Friday nights, following the selections of The Great Khali, Chris Masters, Torrie Wilson and former rival Ric Flair. --- When they say "Brand Selects...", does this mean "randomly selects" or is the Supplemental Draft not a lottery?

That's the end of Dykstra and Nitro.

That TNT episode was fairly amusing for a change. I loved seeing the screwjob footage.

Kickin it Old School

I received an e-mail from MS stating I had successfully renewed my XBL subscription. This is a bit troubling as, with only an original Xbox and no convenient way to keep it hooked up (I don't have a router and need to unplug the main internet connection to hook it up) I figured I would just not renew it until the day came where I got an Xbox 360. I haven't actually used XBL since it auto-renewed last year on a CC I no longer have (it was canceled due to identity theft). I'm wondering how MS processed automatic payment on a renewal when I never gave them any updated credit info (verified by the fact that it didn't accept my current CC's last 4 digits) and I just assumed their attempts to auto-renew me would fail, saving me the hassle of calling them to tell them I didn't want to renew. I hope I haven't accidentally committed some sort of credit fraud... I assume MS will catch their error and reverse the renewal.

They've been doing it since at least October when they showed Halloween Havoc 92. It's the audio with the old WCW PPVs that, when WWE edits out a theme and replaced it, removed the commentary and ring introductions. For HH92, the imposter KINDA sounded like him (spoke with the same mannerisms), but I recall when they used the guy for Spring Stampede 94 he wasn't really trying that hard.

Someone told me I only had until today to find a place with wireless internet and get the Wii Opera browser for free. I blew that one, I guess. Damn your lack of ethernet ports, Nintendo!

Vince and JR made roughly 9 references or more to being above bait in switching. "We don't say maybe you'll see this or maybe you'll see that... no, we'll have two title matches and you'll see them!". After the show, Cole said "WWE was becoming cocky, making repeated references to WCW without ever using their name, but everyone knew who they were talking about". Speaking of that, Furnas/Lafon vs Owen/Bulldog was good, as always.

Man I'm glad Cole called Raw on all the WCW shots. That was getting just a bit annoying (although once they mentioned Robin Hood by name I was amused again).

The movie is apparently so bad it used to have two threads about it.

Unless the people at WWE.com forgot that Rocky vs HHH and HBK's losing his smile was on TRT when they did July's MNW description, it will be airing on 24/7.

No because it's the cable company's fault (I guess). al's cable company gets all the updates every week without fail, it seems.

according to Wikipedia February 3rd 1997 was the beginning of Raw being 2 hours Oh, ok, makes sense then. Speaking of MNW, Teddy Long was so much fatter. Now he's rather slim. I didn't realize it was 2 hours yet but I assumed it must have had a special overrun due to it being the "Royal Rumble Raw". I'd love to watch me some MNW but I'm just patiently waiting for Cogeco to get the stuff up. It's almost as if Thursday is their official day now.

Saw it last night, probably the busiest I've seen a theatre for our Tuesday Movie Night outings (though I missed our POTC 3 week and saw Spider-Man 3 on a midnight opener). Really funny, and it was nice to see a movie with 3 people from The Office in it (though just quick appearances). They showed a trailer for a movie with John Krasinski (who me and a person I was with yelled "Jim!" at the screen when we saw it) that looks ok too. Marshall from HIMYM! I liked the internet business subplot too, especially the payoff. Paul Rudd was great too.

The line about Oz not having a draft lottery was funny, though. I was disappointed my reference to the Harley Race angle was met by nothing but "Saba Simba...", which I didn't understand.

I hope that at random points during matches, an image of Vince McMahon's head looking down from the clouds appears on screen.

I made that same Boogeyman joke with the people I was watching Raw with. "Hey, I SAID I was coming to get ya".

Am I the only one concerned about the condition of the limo driver?

I really need to find time to watch the Boston show before it expires tonight.
