Enigma

We went through this song and dance when I posted the WON. a) The entire newsletter wasn't posted. Just the WWE sections. b) It's not like this is Meltzer's copyrighted intellectual property. All his newsletter contains is stuff he's put together from people he knows.

Bobby Lashley vs. Booker T Finlay vs. jobber Mark Henry vs. Paul Birchall Kristal Marshall vs. Jillian Hall Matt Hardy vs. Nunzio Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle

The DVD extras seem more focused on the HBK/HHH era of DX, so I doubt anything after WM14 will make it.

These are the bonus matches on the DVD from Meltzer: Monday Night Raw -- 8/11/1997 Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind (Rick Rude's return) Monday Night Raw -- 8/18/1997 Shawn Michaels & Triple H vs. The Undertaker & Mankind (HBK & HHH's first televised tag match) Monday Night Raw -- 10/6/1997 Triple H vs. Bret Hart (HBK picks his nose with the Canadian flag) Monday Night Raw -- 12/22/1997 Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H for the European Championship (HBK lays down for HHH) Royal Rumble 1998 -- 1/18/1998 Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker in a Casket Match for the WWE Championship (match that put HBK out of action for over 4 years; shown without Kane burning the casket) No Way Out 1998 -- 2/15/1998 Triple H, The New Age Outlaws, & Savio Vega vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack, & Chainsaw Charlie (HBK announced on the PPV preshow as not able to compete, Savio takes his place; Austin stuns Chyna for the first time) Monday Night Raw -- 3/17/1998 Triple H vs. Owen Hart for the European Championship (HHH challenges Owen for the title 2 weeks before their WrestleMania 14 match and wins the title)

Tacoma crowds have never been the same since the Booker T vs. Buff Bagwell disaster.

The hair they used for fake Kane's mask looks like the hair Psicosis used on his masks. They should have at least wet it down. And I thought it was funny they used Kane's old ass titantron video, looping a red cloud pattern with shitty lightning overlays.

The fake Kane was Freakin Deacon of Deep South Wrestling.

I remember Meltzer saying back in fall 2004 when WWE unloaded a bunch of the female wrestlers so they could hire the DivaSearch losers that Victoria was next on the chopping block. I guess they changed their mind on that.

In the build to last year's One Night Stand, they showed Angle in ECW 1996.

Awesome. Did you find one of those OCR programs like I used when I did the WON posts or did you type all that out?

Starting on June 11, 2006 with ECW One Night Stand, WWE pay-per-views will see a price bump from $34.95 to $39.95. With the current 60/40 split, that would mean WWE would get another two dollars per PPV. They were making $14 a show and that number will jump to $16 under the new pricing. So, a Wrestlemania that does 930,000 buys will clear them an extra $1.8 million dollars. 250,000 buys under the old pricing generated $3.5 million. Now, WWE will make that on 218,750 buys so even if they lose some customers, they probably won't lose any revenue and if customers stay even, they make more money.

I'd be down for Rey vs. Dean at One Night Stand, as long as Rey remembers not to bring WWE Rey to an ECW show like he stupidly did last year.

That's pretty awesome though that OJ's friend that they signed for the angle got paid by WWE since January for doing absolutely nothing.

I've always thought they should release the Raw and Smackdown tribute shows on DVD, with ALL proceeds going to Vickie Guerrero and the kids.

I have to say, it was pretty revolutionary seeing unblurred tits and the word "fuck" in a WWF home video in 1998.

I bet smarks would have cum in their pants if Samoa Joe squashed Ric Flair at Backlash in 4 minutes.

Homecoming is being released as its own DVD.

It's feasible that they can get Rhino, since Rhino only signed a 1-year deal with TNA that expires in June '06. However, the Dudleys and Spike Dudley are locked up long-term in TNA.

The promo was pulled once PWInsider reported on it. PWI always spoils the fun.

No offense, but that's ridiculous. Kenny would look as out of place as a member of DX next to HBK & HHH as Jim Neidhart did.

I'd rather see Princess Leena's goodies. There, I said it.

Why would Batista injure himself.

Here is the PPV poster for Vengeance

Meltzer has pretty much stated since WM that RVD would be facing the winner of the Backlash 3-way at the ECW PPV.
