I have this feeling they're doing some sort of Hulk tie in. Next week Kane will cut a promo with Austin, saying "Are you trying to make me angry? YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY" and then he goes all beserk. Another feeling is they may turn this ANGRY = POWER deal into a gimmick for the RVD/Kane team, where RVD and Kane will be losing (since RVD dopes up Kane with the marijuana, thus making him cool and collected and no longer the angry monster he was), then RVD can do something to make Kane angry and they win. Something dumb like that. Either way, I was interested in last night's promo, and that was probably the best Stunner sell Kane has done.

Austin made a point to say Trust Me. Trust Me = Jake Roberts.

The Matrix promo was for "The One" Billy Gunn.

Question: My signature (which I need to change since my last SOG is so long ago I want to remove the link for now) has a link for an IRC pals news headline collecting site. It's part of my sig and is therefore only shown after I've contributed something to a thread... but should I remove it anyway?

I suppose if I actually paid for PPV instead of watching them at a bar with friends, often talking about stuff not related to what's happening on the PPV, it would be different.

Yep. I really have no explanation why, it's just one of those things. I enjoy watching wrestling, even when it's not that good.

General rule: People are idiots and will get confused if they see 2 different WWE PPV's being advertised at the same time. So, what will happen (in my opinion) is mini-TV feuds during the month whatever brand isn't doing PPV with some build towards the next months show, followed by match announcements when the other brands PPV has aired. One of the things I noticed was WWE immediatley announced the main event for Bad Blood and heavily implied another 2 where normally they take a week or more to do so. I may be the minority, but after fearing I would dread it, I'm looking forward to Bad Blood. I'm normally satisfied with 2-3 good matches on an 8 match show and both Booker/Christian and Michales/Flair should be good. I have faith in Jericho to make Goldberg have a good match too.

The video was for "The One" Billy Gunn. See, "The One" was his old gimmick and it's also what they refer to Neo as in "The Matrix" films, something the promo shown was based around.

Well I got into this thread rather late, but here's an image showing the extras as well as the chapters since a few people have asked. I'm looking forward to picking up this DVD way more than the Michaels one. As an avid purchaser of WWF/E videos, I own just about every match on the Michaels DVD already (one already in DVD format). The Rey DVD features matches I haven't ever seen as well as awesome TV matches that aren't available for purchase like a PPV match or what have you.

I liked it Dames. I wasn't fully aware of the site's history, but now I know. And knowing is half the battle. ALERT!: Shades of Gray to make return THIS WEEK! Probably.

I apologize!

I've been really busy lately so if this has been posted already I apologize: Silvervision lists the DVD as having 10 extra matches, including: GREAT AMERICAN BASH 6.16.1996 vs. Dean Malenko – Rey’s WCW Debut NITRO 7.8.1996 vs. Dean Malenko – 1st Cruiserweight win SMACKDOWN! 7.23.2002 vs. Chavo Guerrero – Rey’s WWE Debut SMACKDOWN! 9.26.2002 vs. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit

I never realized that Rey thing either. He's 2 for 2 on pre-PPV Heat though! Good work Dames.

Man, "Americanmaniacs"... I hate to sound like a mark (despite totally being one), but this Mr. America stuff sounds downright brilliant and hilarious. The rest of the show, outside of the opener, sounds blah.

There's a reason it's 99cents per 2L bottle. It's perhaps the most vile beverage I've ever tasted.

But WrestleMania X8, featuring WWF logo, is a normal price. This seller is nuts (as is any potential buyer) if he thinks he can get $100 US.

Speaking of DVDs.. WTF? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...?v=glance&s=dvd WrestleMAnia X-7 is worth $100?

DOn't really agree with The Rock one but it's funny.

AFAIK the Chicago Street Fight is on the disc.

1wrestling says on May 27 (the same day WMXIX comes out on VHS/DVD) 'Rey Mysterio - 619" will also be released. Sound good?

Meltzer's Thursday update: "There is also a video package regarding a newcomer called Mr. America. The plan is for it to be revealed as Hulk Hogan doing the Midnight Rider (wearing a mask) gimmick." Jesus Christ WWE, I was only making a joke!

I think Flair is going to win the World title from HHH in the fall.

Thanks Bob... I think it's time for me to get my glasses perscription updated.
