Enigma

How about the obvious green screen Vince and Piper were in front of and the not-right distance between Vince and Piper walking to Flair?

Yeah. At least Koko was all manic and crazy about it.

What the fuck was up with that gay ass "wave" shit Rey was doing? No fan would be caught dead doing that.

I like how the camera was pointed right up Sherri's dress as her and Dibiase exited the Barber Shop. Also, Sherri looked like she was about to spill out of that top. When they were showing the footage of LOD stopping the Natural Disasters from getting to Andre the Giant, did it sound to anyone else like Animal tripped over his words and they just had the plant crowd cheer to cover it up?

The price does depend on the provider. I am with Cox Communications, and it only costs $6.99 here. TODAY (9/9) IS THE LAST DAY FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: TV Classics -- History of ECW 5/28/96 -- Flair: Mid-Atlantic 12/8/82 -- WWE Prime Time 11/12/87 The Big Ones WWE Judgment Day '08 Shorties Ric Flair 1/3/87 Ric Flair 1/31/00 Ric Flair 4/6/85 Ric Flair 5/19/97 Ric Flair 6/22/85 Ric Flair 7/18/93 Ric Flair 9/22/92 Ric Flair 9/81 Ric Flair 11/5/84 Ric Flair 11/5/88 Legends Stone Cold Legacy: Part 5 Stone Cold Legacy: Part 6

I think the far shot was also due to the fact Savage had an obsession with pulling Flair's trunks down. All three of those spots were uncensored on the live show, which I still have on tape somewhere. And Loch Ness was gone way before the nWo angle started. Loch Ness faced the Giant at the next month's PPV and got totally squashed. He was never seen again after that.

Mike Adamle sounds like the robotic voice that the guy put with those Chris Benoit cartoons after he went nuts.

This Olive Garden talk has to be a jab at Justin Credible.

Mark it up: Goldust just got confused with a sack of popcorn and a brown bag.

WWE.com says he retained, and wikipedia still has his reign at 133 days, so I'm just gonna go by the fact that he's the current champion and has been so since Backlash. Fair enough. I'd rather go with that and just say Jim Ross screwed up rather than HHH getting another fake reign.

Triple H is now recognized as a 13-time champion because the title officially becomes vacant for a Scramble match. Only the winner gets a new reign tacked on, not the "interim" champions within the match. Yes, retarded.

Goddamn did they make Jeff Hardy look like an idiot. Why didn't he just pull HHH off of MVP instead of trying to cover Shelton like an idiot even though he was already the champion?

Looks like WWE got to Justin.TV. None of the streams are working.

Yeah, WWF released him in mid-'99 when he kept injuring his back. He went back to WCW in fall '99 shortly before Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera jumped to WCW. The Kevin Nash booking squad wanted him to do that infamous "7even" character, which Russo had him trash on the air and then just became plain ol' babyface Dustin Rhodes again. When Kevin Sullivan took over booking in early 2000, they turned him heel against Terry Funk and had him be the "American Nightmare" Dustin Rhodes. Then when the Russo/Bischoff era started, he sat at home and collected a paycheck until the night after Starrcade 2000. When Vince bought WCW, he did indies until his AOL Time Warner contract was bought out in late '01. He went back to the WWF for the '02 Rumble.

The whole Oshawa/Toronto thing reminds me of when WWE goes to Duluth, GA but says they are in Atlanta. Duluth is not Atlanta.

I like how no one commented on the fake Mickie James sex tape.

I don't even know why the host has to bother asking. The pictures are right fucking there! They weren't sure if it was her because the pictures were over 8 years old, but they didn't know that.

According to Wikipedia, those pictures were in the May 2000 edition of Legshow. According to her bio, she got into the business in 1999 under the name "Alexis Laree". I guess she just banked on using the Laree name since WWE rarely used anyone's real name. It wasn't until the day she debuted that Vince decided to axe "Alexis Laree" and use her real name, since she had been Laree during her entire time in OVW. But either way, it was stupid to use her real name, but the pictures would have been found regardless. Just like when Ashley Massaro did Playboy in 2002 under the name "Ryan McKenzie".

--Via call-in, Mickie James was interviewed on The ITD Morning After radio show based out of St. Louis this morning. Mickie James, who was at the National Republican Convention this past week, talked about WWE's "SmackDown Your Vote" initiative. She was asked if she was a Republican, but said no. James considers herself an independent and is still thinking about who she's going to vote for. The hosts ask her if she's dating anyone. She said she's "dating her job" as her line of work makes it hard on relationships as she's on the road so much. The hosts jokingly ask her if she's dating St. Louis' own Randy Orton. She laughs it off, saying, "No!" James then talks about her upcoming guest appearance on the USA Network show Pysch this Friday. Up until this point, the interview was your typical standard stuff, but it then takes a rather unusual turn as soon as the hosts start talking about looking her up on the Internet. The hosts were doing some research on Mickie James and they discovered some nude photos she did in the past (for Legshow magazine). They then ask her about it and she doesn't seem to know what to say as she stumbles on her words a lot in her response to the question. James tries to dodge the question at first, but eventually remarks, "It's kind of hard to say, like I may I have done, I did some different stuff in my past but I don't think that makes or breaks who I am today." The hosts then talk about it more and Mickie says, "Alright we have to move on." The interview concludes a few seconds later. Here is a transcript of this very awkward conversation. If you listen to the audio, you can easily tell that she was highly uncomfortable. Host 1: You know we were, as you can probably tell this is a well-oiled machine, lot of show prep goes into it and we were doing our show prep at 3:30, 3:45 St. Louis time. (interrupted) Host 2: 3:50. Host 1: Okay, we were a little late there, 3:50 St. Louis time and uhh, the great Doug Vaughn, who I know you're familiar with typed in uhh, Mickie James online. Host 2: Uhh oh. Host 1: And... (interrupted) Mickie James: 30 seconds guys. Host 1: Uhh, okay thanks. And, and there are, (hosts laugh) there are some pictures attributed to you that appeared to say that you have done adult work. And then I look at your bio and it surely doesn't seem that is something you would have done. Your reaction to that? Mickie: Well, umm I think that, uhh... I mean, I've been doing this 11 years and I think that uhh you know everybody... like I said before everybody comes from different backgrounds and they, you know... I don't... I don't think that... that... Host 1: So you did it? Mickie: That... (pauses) Well... I mean, you know what? It's... it's kind of hard to say, like I may I have done, I did some different stuff in my past but I don't think that makes or breaks who I am today. Host 1: No, no, no! As a matter of fact I consider it a check mark yeah, absolutely. I'm all in favor. I, I actually thought... Mickie: (Laughs) Host 1: Doug, Doug was looking at it and I go, oh, I don't think that's her. Mickie: Right. Host 1: But it was. Mickie: Alright we have to move on. Hosts: (Laughs) Host 2: Flip that off! Host 1: (quietly) Alright, please destroy this! Host 2: Please flip... Host 1: Alright Mickie, good talking to you! Thank you! Mickie: Thank you! Host 2: (Laughing) I don't even know who this women is and we had to handle her moving us along! Host 1: Right when I was hitting the issues! So that was her! Host 2: Uhh, clearly it was. Otherwise she'd say, WHAT? No! It's an Internet thing. Host 1: No, she went, uh, yeah, uh, WELL?! That was her response! WELL?! Host 2: That's when I said she was prepared for that, or uh, that was you. Host 1: I don't think that that's out in the open. Maybe it is? The hosts then talk about how they didn't do much research on the subject as they simply typed her name in on Google and Wikipedia and it was there. They then ponder if she was prepared for the question about her past and if she is trying to put it behind her. Apparently there was a WWE representative listening to the interview and/or with Mickie, hence her "30 seconds guys," statement as soon as they started talking about looking up Mickie James on the Internet. The hosts add more reaction to their awkward conversation with Mickie later in the show, which you can listen to mid-way in segment three. The synopsis reads: "Looking Back into the Mickie James Interview and Her Reaction to Being Asked About Doing Adult Work, You Would Think She Would Have a Better Answer to Being Asked About Porn."

Dave Meltzer reported in this week's Observer that video game sources say Vince McMahon told THQ they are forbidden from using Mick Foley or Randy Savage in the upcoming "WrestleMania Legends" video game.

I really wish we could have heard a classic HBK curse rant. It's been too long.

EDIT: nvm, misread

Vince is clearly not happy with MVP using all those Japanese moves.
