Remember, you have no grounds to complain. You'll watch Orton destroy every credible wrestler and like it! Well, yeah, cause this is a SHOW. This isn't just wrestling. If I don't like it, I can shut it off. But I'm willing to accept anything they give me. What an excellent beatdown that was. LOOK, IT'S RICO!! I have no interest in seeing him on my TV, but I'm not going to complain. Must accept it because I'm grateful and have no room to complain. I NEVER wrote a WWE show before. RICO VS. RENE DUPREE! AWESOME! I'm wet already thinking about the tantalizing possibilities of this matchup.

He's already GOT the title. The IC one at least. Well, yeah, I meant the World Heavyweight one though. The fans will mutiny if he doesn't have both because he is just so over. And seriously, the man got THREE boos after knocking out Foley. That's pathetic.....but I'm sure there will be more apologists soon enough.

Whoa! Did you hear those 3 people boo after that attack?! My mistake. Orton IS over!! PUT THAT TITLE ON HIM!! STAT!!!

It's going to be a continuing theme. Then, he'll see an Italian man standing on the street, looking forlorn. He'll buy the man a slice of pizza and give him a bowl of pasta. Then he'll be an honorary Italian. In the next story, he'll give a can to a Chinese man he sees on the street. Then he'll be an honorary Asian person. Then, he'll buy a bottle of grape soda, but see a black man standing outside looking pretty thirsty. He'll give the man the soda and be an honorary African-African. Don't you see? This can be a continuing saga. rawmvp just SAVED this story.

Mark Henry! Sweet. As an opponent, they could have put out RVD, or Matt Hardy, or Booker T, or Lance Storm......but it doesn't matter. This is all WWE wants to give me and you know what, I am going to be happy. Hell, why ask for a match I actually want to see? This is a show, and this is wrestling, and dammit, if they want me to watch something, I will. Don't want to be confused for complaining or anything. Man, Benoit vs. Mark Henry. Not what I would have picked, but who cares, they're not here to please me anyway. This is awesome, awesome, awesome. AWESOME!

This thread CANNOT, under any circumstances, be closed before No Way Out. I MUST see how the PPV Party goes. MUST!!

IT'S GOING TO BE MARK FUCKING HENRY!!! AWESOME!!

IT'S JONATHAN FUCKING COACHMAN!! And oh yeah, I think Ric Flair came out too or something.

JANET FUCKING JACKSON!!! Oh look, Benoit's out there too.

Massive? I think we're overblowing things a little. Yes, she got some publicity, but others still had a lot more attention. I'm sure somewhere, Gladys Knight has appeared in a gossip column or been talked about around a dinner table lately. Does that mean she's still relevant? LaToya Jackson, Tito Jackson, and the rest of the family are being asked for their thoughts on the situation. Their careers haven't exactly been thriving. Yes, but you're not listening. To some extent, Janet WAS being talked about. But it wasn't to the extent that she WANTED it. She wasn't being mentioned in the same breath as the big female pop stars of today like she once was. She had a desire to grab the public's attention again, so what does she do.......? Show her tit. Now people are talking about her again.

YAY!!!!! BOO!!!!! I'm sorry but what a low and horrible statement to make. This is a man who puts his body on the line for people all around the world and you have the nerve to act happy when he gets hurt? Thats exactly whats wrong with the "smark" crowd. For you to show joy in another persons suffering just because he isn't a cruzierweight and he can't wrestle good is just flat out low. Did you think you were being cute or funny? In my mind your trash and guess what I dont even find Mark fun to watch. ZOOM!! What the hell was that thing that just flew over your head?! ..... .....ah yes, a joke. Lighten up.

Janet Jackson hasn't been a topic of discussion in YEARS. Britney Spears. Christina Aguilera. Jessica Simpson. Beyonce. Pink. These are the women being talked about today. No one looks at Janet Jackson as a sex symbol anymore which, after last night, we can see she still desires to be. Hence the publicity stunt.

BOLD PREDICTION: JR makes some comment that MTV stole the whole Janet Jackson-boob idea from Jackie Gayda on Raw last week.

Well, to be fair..... When WAS Justin's solo album released? And who's been getting all the attention lately? Why, his ex-girlfriend, Ms. Spears. And to be fair.... Who REALLY wants to get media attention based on the fact that their brother is being accused of child molestation? Certainly not any type of worthwhile publicity. And to be fair.... If these two love attention as much as they seem to, they would never be happy living the rest of their lives without doing anything and being in the public eye. This stunt brought both of them public attention - which, even if they didn't NEED, they definitely WANTED.

Good god. That was the absolute most unrealistic shit I have EVER, EVER read. What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent message were you even close to anything that could be considered a realistic thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. You just ruined everything. Congrats.

Well, look a little closer. There may appear to be snaps that would rip off both pieces of leather covering the breasts. But: 1. There doesn't seem to be a snap in the middle where the whole thing would be ripped off. Like he would rip from the left to the right, then the top would fall, and she would be standing in red lace. He would rip at the left, then stop in the middle, because there's nothing bridging the two together. If he WAS to rip the whole jacket off, how could a simple swipe from left to right accomplish that, even IF it was made of snaps? which leads me to.... 2. If he was supposed to rip the whole thing, why did he conveniently stop immediately after ripping the right breast? If it was a split-second type of decision, he should have kept going since he didn't know it was going to happen. Yet, as soon as he did that one boob, he stopped. I don't understand why. And I still disagree with you on the acting thing. If Justin and Janet both knew what was going to happen, at the exact point it was going to happen, I think they would be able to pull a surprised face if they wanted to. It really is no different than acting. They knew what was going to happen, so they planned their reactions in sync to the incident. I don't see why you think it would be so difficult.

-Justin didn't look shocked. -Janet looked a little shocked but how hard is it to fake the expression? Look, I'll put on a shocked face right now. *Puts on shocked face: AHHHHHH!* There. And I didn't even need acting lessons to do it. You're forgetting that Janet HAS acted before (Diff'rent Strokes, Nutty Professor II) Sure, they weren't incredibly good acting jobs but I'm sure - SURE - that she has the ability to look shocked. It was obviously planned. There was no costume underneath there if the whole thing was ripped off. (EDIT: Yes, I do see the red dress there. But how could one side have completely fallen down while the other stood up? Wouldn't they have taken MEASURES to stop that kind of thing, as I'm sure thousands of performers have done before. The thing doesn't make sense.) And curiously, she had a nipple ring that coincidentally blocked the nipple - for the most part - from being exposed. Some people didn't even KNOW they could see the top of the nip until we got the close-up pics today. What would have been the excuse for such a huge ring if there was something underneath her dress that was surely to "snap off"? Just Janet's unique sense of fashion? For some reason, I doubt it.

Which probably means one of two scenarios. Benoit pins Shawn. HHH pins Shawn. Why not Benoit pinning HHH or HHH pinning Benoit? Because that'll have to happen at Backlash as they can build off of it as neither man pinned the other and because a third guy was in the match, and hence they need to go one on one at Backlash. ...shall be interesting. Shawn isn't pinning either man. He's been put in there as a foil for a storyline. A decently made sense storyline. Until I hear it become ladder, I'm sticking with the pins, but I'm leaning slightly towards HHH pinning Michaels to set up the fact that Michaels and HHH is over. Eh, I disagree with you. I think they're going for something different with this. Shawn Michaels pins Triple H at WrestleMania. Since Benoit didn't technically lose at Mania, Bischoff decides to put him against HBK at Backlash. In front of a crowd of HBK-Hating, Benoit-loving, Canadians - Benoit finally wins the title. In the month of May, Benoit defends the title on a couple of Raws. Randy Orton (I know, I know) stands up to Benoit and says he's bringing the gold to Evolution. They start a feud over the title. Meanwhile, the feud between HBK and HHH continues, with the both of them arguing over who should get the next title shot. Bischoff finally says that this thing MUST END, so he sets up a HBK/HHH #1 Contender's Match at Bad Blood to finally end the feud. Meanwhile, Hunter gets pissed over Orton seemingly stealing the first PPV title shot from underneath him. At Bad Blood, HHH beats Michaels. And in the Main Event, Benoit beats Orton. After the Benoit/Orton match, HHH stands on the top of the ramp and looks happy. Is he happy over Benoit winning or Orton losing? HHH and Benoit feud for two months. At SummerSlam, they fight with Triple H winning the title back. The next night, Orton attacks Hunter screaming that he finally wants the title and is bitter over HHH actually being HAPPY that Orton lost at Bad Blood. HHH/Orton at Unforgiven for the title. Benoit left off the card. ----------------------------------------------------------- Not saying this is what I WANT to happen - but I could certainly see it happening. Sure, it's not incredibly creative......but it's WWE realism.

See, I'm neutral on the whole subject of Benoit. I don't like him, but I don't hate him. And personally, a WrestleMania Main Event of Chris Benoit vs. Triple H seems a little....lacking. To me, the match just seems to lack that intangible feeling of starpower and true excitement for the match. Add Shawn Michaels to the mix and suddenly, the match just seems to get a little stronger. I could see WHY they would change the match to a Triple-Threat match. But if they make it into a ladder match....

I don't think that roster would work for the ECW brand. Besides RVD, you have absolutely no marquee wrestlers or wrestlers that people actually want to tune in and watch. Sure, eventually you'll get those - but if Vince is starting up the ECW brand, he needs a couple of more wrestlers that actually have a fan following. They could use this roster, but personally, I would make sure they had more than 1 relatively popular and established superstar. Taking 3 from RAW: Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Kane Taking 2 from Smackdown: Edge, John Cena And then adding the rest of that roster and building it up eventually until they became potential ECW Main-Eventers in the eyes of the fans. At this point, having Val Venis or Steven Richards as ECW Champion just wouldn't work on a show that's definitely going to be watched by more WWE fans than ECW fans.

Shit, I don't know HOW the hell I missed that message board.

Er.....is this the same Tammy Sytch that supposedly writes extremely eloquent articles for Chris Hyatte and his 411 Updates? Doesn't seem like it.

Why, it was those grooving, fun-loving, middle-aged drunken guys that love to sway to the soothing sounds of Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Obviously.

JANET JACKSON!! *falls off chair* And here I thought I would be DISAPPOINTED with the surprise Note: I know she wasn't the surprise. Not sure who was supposed to be.

Does MTV even THINK about who's watching the SuperBowl? I highly doubt a group of drunk guys that are losing money and stuffed with buffalo wings want to see fucking Justin Timberlake on the stage.
