Enigma

I remember seeing some IRS promos where he was working in an office, so I assume he was supposed to be a tax man.

WHAT!?!?! SOMEONE PLEASE show them the part of Beyond the Mat where Jim Ross is telling the guy he needs to get bigger up top while Vince McMahon is standing in the same area of the room.

I think Raw started going live every week the week that Smackdown started. I remember Chris Jericho's second Raw appearance was definitely taped. It was the one where he interrupted Big Show & Undertaker, calling them boring. He debuted about three weeks before Smackdown started. According to the numbers now, taping Smackdown cost about $600,000 a show. That is insane. I have no idea what a live Raw costs these days.

Yeah, I 100% remember a promo where IRS is walking around cemetery, pointing out people who died before they paid their taxes.

HHH made some joke about nude photos on Smackdown and they magically appeared on WWE.Com after the show.

Wow...

Jim Ross always drops some vague references on his blog about the company not being happy with his ring attire or some such. I have no idea what that is about.

So we finally get something fresh with Jeff Hardy as WWE Champion which the fans are responding well to. So the plan is to have him immediately lose the belt to Edge for another lameduck title run until the belt goes back to HHH yet again? All within two months? Did they secretly hire Russo back?

Yeah, the site I went to for the Clash of the Champions info had it spelled wrong, but I wasn't sure at the time. But it was really late so I figured if it was wrong, Venkman would correct it.

I like how the camera zoomed right in on Sherri's ass once Duggan pulled her skirt up. You can tell that was Vince having fun with the 11:30pm timeslot.

I think the explanation for this match was that Bret's rematch clause was still valid even though Bob Backlund had lost the title. So Bret used it when he got kayfabe healthy at the Rumble.

Do you mean SNME? And since we're discussing people's appearances, let me just say that Sherri looks smoking hot here.

From PWI: Triple H defeated John Morrison in a Table Match. There was a scary incident during the finish. HHH pushed Morrison off the top rope and Morrison was to land back first on a table that was set up on the floor. Morrison missed the mark and only grazed the table, flipping it over. He had a very visible spot on his back. They re-did the spot and it went right the second time. After the match, The Miz came out and distracted HHH. Chavo Guerrero snuck out and put HHH through another table. GM Vickie Guerrero confronted HHH backstage and told him he still had two matches left. The Undertaker defeated Shelton Benjamin with a tombstone in a non-title match. Not a squash. Shelton gets some offense in and actually escaped a Last Ride attempt. A Tazz interview with Edge is shown. The Bella Twins defeated Michelle McCool & Victoria after one of the twins rolled up Victoria after she missed a moonsault. McCool put a serious beatdown on Victoria after the match and hit her with her Styles Clash. Triple H defeated Chavo Guerrero & The Miz in a Handicap Match. Chavo walked out on Miz and HHH fed Miz a pedigree for the win. After the match, GM Vickie Guerrero comes out and tells HHH that his last match is a Last Man Standing Match against The Big Show. MVP hosts the VIP Lounge with guest, Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy makes fun of MVP and plugs his shitty movie again. After the movie plug, several men come out to repossess all of his set pieces. Kennedy tells MVP to cheer up because it could be worse. The Boogeyman pops up and gives MVP a pumphandle slam. Carlito & Primo defeated The Brian Kendrick & Ezekiel Jackson to retain the tag titles. The Big Show defeated Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match after connecting with the knockout punch. This means Triple H will not be allowed to compete in the Royal Rumble (at least, for now). Post-Taping Dark Match saw Jeff Hardy defeat Edge with the swanton.

Yeah, my bad on that one.

What's with all the spelling errors in the thread subtitle?

Bastards. I had Universal HD all this time and they start doing this right after I finally get USA and Sci-Fi HD. Ironically enough, Universal HD was pulled from my lineup after the other two channels were added. Still don't have MyNetwork TV HD here. Shit, we don't even have it at all.

I was about to say the same thing. A lot of that is because they charge more money now and have a shit ton more things to sell.

Wasn't Jeff Jarrett supposed to be megapushed? I am pretty glad that didn't happen.

The ref's counts were pretty slow. I can see where he was bitching. I also like how Hayes went back full heel and mentioned how he only got himself presents at Christmas.

I think Kennedy is due back in February.

Goddamn, I had no idea I was being discussed like this. I am honored! The avatar is me. The signature is not. And honestly, I had no idea people were getting so upset. I'll chill out with what you guys dislike.

No one seemed to give a shit when I was posting WON every week for all of you for two years. Funny how ungrateful people become for no reason.

I'd love to know how you're such an authority on TSM when you've only been here for a month. And didn't start posting until earlier this week. Have we met before?
