I wasn't even paying attention to Lita. Gene's backne had me playing connect the dots on my tv screen. Count me in with the folks who LOVED Angle/Flair. Naitch bumped like a crazy old man for Kurt tonight, and Angle going over was the complete right thing to do to further cement him as God in the ring.

I wouldn't call Deliverance second-rate Metallica. That whole album has a definite groove, and it's DIRTY AS FUCK, which is more than can be said about any Metallica album.

Coincidence? I think not.

Doesn't the DVD of ONS come out on Tuesday?

Damn. Too bad that can't be next weekend when I'll be in Sacramento. Great avatar, tiki.

Aside from the aforementioned gripes about RAW and Smackdown!, the only thing I can add is that the lack of fresh characters/gimmicks/storylines bothers me. RAW will always be the HHH show, and whatever he wants to happen will happen. And every storyline involving him is just a re-hased version of a previous storyline with a different wrestler thrown into the mix. RAW won't be fresh until he leaves the show. Smackdown!, I think, has done a good job with the Rey/Eddie feud (well, Eddie not getting a win in what seems like forever aside). Benoit will add the ability to make anyone lood great in the ring, thus, making the show more entertaining for me at least. No matter who you put him with, he'll make them look like a million bucks. My biggest problem is the lack of an intersting character/gimmick. I haven't been really moved by a new wrestler and/or gimmick probably since Austin. And by motivated, I mean my ability to readily cheer anything that character does, and go into full-on mark mode when he turns either heel or face. Hassan is the only minutely intersting character they've come up with in the last year or so, and even he's starting to wear thin.

So tonight I heard Social D's cover of the Clash's "Death or glory", and I must say that it's FUCKING AWESOME. Is there nothing Mike Ness can't do?

I wish Corgan hadn't broken up Zwan. I actually liked that album. I had a second hope for Billy with that one.

Just sac up and drink Guinness.

If you live near I-40, you could probably take that to I-55 straight into the city. Or possibly I-40 to I-57, which also takes you to I-94 on the South Side.

That's a different kind of "cock"-y, snuff. Anything by Rakim of KRS-One qualifies. And when you're Rakim or KRS, you can be as cocky as you want.

I just took a trip over to the ROH boards and apparently, Punk left with the belt.

Well, Josh and Steve tried. And no, it's not wrong to want to see them tag permanently.

So, are we going to get a canned Spanish 10-count for Super Crazy tonight? My bet is yes.

Even though Juvi toned it down, as per WWE rules, he still looked pretty decent, I thought.

You'd think that he'd be used to lights by now.

Thank you.

I'm betting the team sure isn't the Gangstas.

Hey, Snow/Bossman was a DOG KENNEL FROM HELL match. There's a difference, you know.

I'm seriously considering robbing my pizza place, getting a ticket, going to London and seeing The Floyd. I really think the jail time would be worth it.

I remember watching him a few years back and being pretty impressed. Now, I hear nothing about him. Is he still wrestling or what? Anyone with info will receive a shiney new donkey.

Yeah, six weeks sounds about right. Next thing you know, Ross will be talking about how Shawn Michaels and Angle have never had a match.

Bob's putting the show together. I think he should play. Well, as long as he doesn't try to make himself look like, as Henry Rollins put it, "a martyr" like he did for Live Aid.
