Orton vs John... Bradshaw Layfield. Triple threat with HHH then?

I don't mean the one where he goes over the ropes, I mean where Hogan smashes him head first agaisnt the turnbuckle, like people usually do in 10's. And he just bounces off the bottom rope backwards.

In full JR getup? You mean, he dressed normally and just wore a hat?

Heh. The head against the top turnbuckle's the best one.

1. Do you think WWE properly handled the storyline for this match? Unfortunately, when you get two wrestlers that have the ego of that of Michaels and Hogan, it's hard to take the storyline 100% in the direction you want to. However, due to the obvious direction it was going, it was just a case of 'when' and not 'if' Michaels turned on Hogan, but credit where it's due, the storyline leading up with Michaels and Hogan and also Cena adding to it, when the turn did happen it was top stuff. Everything after the turn was a fresh breath from Michaels, as a natural heel he's excellent. 2. Do you think Shawn Michaels' overselling helped or hindered the match? In a way, it hindered the match, because if you ask me what I remember about this match, the first thing i'll tell you is Michaels' hilarious overselling of nearly everything. It does add to a fun little match though, as the match itself wasn't anything special, Michaels overacting was pretty comical and made, for me, the match watchable. So I guess it takes away and adds to the match. 3. Has this match affected the way you look at either Hogan or Michaels as workers or as people? Not really, as i'd always known that Hogan was difficult to work with and that Michaels wasn't unknown to take things into his own hands. 4. What impact, if any, do you think this match has had on their legacies? Hogan no, as when I think about Hogan's legacy I never take into account post 2002. As for Michaels, it was something else to see him take the match into his own hands, like he also did when HHH tore his quad again, which in todays WWE world you dont really see, wrestlers are programmed to finish the match the way it was originally planned out. Further more, ever since this match with Hogan, Michaels changed my opinion of him greatly, as a die-hard Bret Hart fan i'd never had time for Michaels, but i've been a big fan ever since his 2005 run, so I guess in a way, this match did begin that, but wasn't directly influcing it. 5. Will we see another match between two wrestlers of this caliber (popularity wise) again? Have we seen one already,perhaps? We're going to get people bringing up the whole Austin/Hogan and Michaels/Rock debate here, but I guess realistically, it'll be Michaels/Undertaker at WrestleMania. I'd buy a ticket to that one.

Franchise Raper? Change that damn name.

Disco Inferno's music video where he's photoshopped into Konnan's video. I laughed so hard at that. Someone show me it on youtube or dailymotion or anything and i'll be a very very very happy person.

You can't really use that logic.. that way, the IC title had a brand new lineage when Austin threw it in the river.

Seven years does seem about the right time, I know this is beating a dead horse when I say this, but at least WCW offered an alternative. One of my personal favourite things on a Friday when I was in school was watching Raw and then Nitro would come on 2 hours later, here in the UK. Then they decided to put Nitro before Thunder on the same night here. You were looking at five hours roughly of back to back WCW every week. When it was hot, it was red hot, but when it was same old WCW, it was torture. Would I have it back today? Absolutely, but i'd still be a WWE fan first, always was.

Absolutely, personally I found it great watching the last person Flair beat was the WWE Champion.

Welshy?

Well, Naturals were going to have a try out match a few months ago but one of them blew it by announcing it on his myspace and it was pulled. So we'll probably see them squashed a few times from now on in.

'It started off as a storyline, but I punched him in the face and he threw me over the top rope, so now its gone from the undercard to the main event of Wrestlemania' Floyd Mayweather during an interview with Sky Sports News at half three earlier today here in England. The 'storyline' word was interesting, as the rest of the interview was in kayfabe. Quite surreal.

Any specific reason they put the HOF on ECW this week? Possibly someone with ECW ties? Mick Foley perhaps?

Christ, that woke the crowd up!

This just got interesting.

Quite a crime Jack doesn't get in by himself really.

Ooh. Solie in tonight? Edit: Briscoes.

Yeah I was thinking where I heard that. What the hell is this blonde woman doing? Oh, she's going to sing. Segmant's ruined.

God, a Barry Whindom apperance on Raw. Damn.

Singing it!

Sheik and Volkoff!

Oh oh.. I smell a WWE Title run for Hardy coming up in the next few months..
