Enigma

That wasn't a WWE picture. It was a picture taken for a UK men's magazine.

Due to boredom, I have decided I chart the tenures of the current Divas. Please note that for the DivaSearchers, I recognize the first night they were officially introduced on TV as characters, not contest participants.: Ashley: Raw -- August 22, 2005 Candice Michelle: Raw -- November 15, 2004 Jillian: Smackdown -- July 28, 2005 Kristal: Smackdown -- February 10, 2006 Lilian Garcia: Raw -- August 16, 1999 Lita: Sunday Night Heat -- February 13, 2000 Maria: Raw -- November 1, 2004 Melina: Smackdown -- April 14, 2005 Mickie James: Raw -- October 10, 2005 Queen Sharmell: Smackdown -- May 5, 2005 Torrie Wilson: Smackdown -- June 28, 2001 Trish Stratus: Sunday Night Heat -- March 5, 2000 Victoria: Sunday Night Heat -- July 7, 2002

Lilian Garcia has been in WWE longer than Trish Stratus or Lita. Garcia debuted in August 1999. Lita started in January 2000 and Stratus started in March 2000.

I'm truly shocked as to who made this topic.

If they do it in Chicago, hopefully it's done at the Odeum, the site of Anarchy Rulz 1999 and November To Remember 2000.

Remember when Shawn & HHH wanted to come out on Raw in 1997 wearing nWo t-shirts?

Everyone's been saying Jeff has been clean lately.

From PWI: Vince and Shane McMahon were backstage at last night's ECW taping and by all accounts, were very happy with how the taping went. If you watch the backstage vignette where Paul Heyman is shunned by his ECW performers, you can see Vince watching on a monitor in the background. Yes, that was Francine making her TV debut last night in the same segment. Fit Finlay and Dean Malenko worked as agents for the Hammerstein taping. WWE claimed that the Hammerstein Ballroom was sold out last night, but it certainly seemed that there were a lot less fans there compared to the two One Night Stand PPVs. Tickets were available at the box office all the way up to show time. There were also a lot of fans outside trying to unload extra tickets for well below face value. ECW Vixen Trinity, still recovering from knee surgery, was backstage at last night's taping sporting a knee brace. Tony Devito, Simon Dean, and Jazz were also backstage. Brian Kendrick suffered a bloody nose during his tag match with Paul London against the Full Blooded Italians. The new referees working for ECW last night (who I believe are getting WWE tryouts this week) were Scott Armstrong and James Beard. Armstrong is a former WCW worker and obviously, the son of Bullet Bob Armstrong. Beard worked for a long time with the Von Erichs' World Class Championship Wrestling. Since WWE were in the Northeast this week for the ECW taping, several members of the old ECW referee troupe were used as well. Although there weren't any loud chants, there were a ton of fans catcalling ring announcer Justin Roberts all night over his replacing Stephen DeAngelis. WWE had Roberts enter the ring while the lights in the venue were off during a video feature on ECW One Night Stand 2005, which I have to wonder was done purposely to prevent Roberts from being verbally assaulted by the old school fans that were there.

I thought he did............... At least that's what I heard during the show. C.M. Punk used the Killswitch Engage song "This Fire Burns" that's on the WWE Wreckess Intent CD, the same theme Randy Orton used briefly on Smackdown for 3 weeks in early 2006.

My girlfriend thinks he has beautiful eyes.

No real ECW fan wanted it back, because we knew it would be like this. We're mature enough to know that things that die should stay dead. Sure, we missed it and were vocal about it, but we never clamored for Vince to bring it back full-time. The once-a-year reunion PPVs were fine with me. Any ECW fan...shit, anybody who watched how the InVasion was booked, could see that Vince wouldn't be able to resist fucking with it and making it what he wanted it to be, just to spite all the original people involved.

What's going to be worse? The Undertaker vs. Giant Gonzalez in the Rest In Peace match from Summerslam 1993? or The Undertaker vs. The Great Khali in the Last Man Standing match from Summerslam 2006?

I bet Vince is licking his lips at the chance to have a DQ or a countout at this show.

I could totally see the DX/McMahon angle going in a way where McMahon brings back the nWo to kill off DX.

The Hardys, Shannon Moore, and Shane Helms used to take turns plowing Lita in the OMEGA locker room.

Okay this has gotten beyond ridiculous now. Edit: I don't mean ridiculous as in "the health policy is a joke" but simply because of the sheer number/range of talent that has now been pulled. It's just an astounding number. Meltzer didn't say anything about the Wellness Policy. This could have been completely unrelated.

Randy Savage didn't become a 2-time WWF Champion until WrestleMania 8, the event where Hulk Hogan wrestled his "last match" against Sid Justice.

Heyman sure is shitting out the company line here. Good thing it's just in text though. Heyman was probably rolling his eyes and making sarcastic hand movements during it.

Vince will probably have every match end in a DQ next week to piss off the real ECW crowd.

It's amazing to think there are people out there that still think Paul Heyman has one bit of say about WWECW. Dave Meltzer described the WWECW TV booking process as this: 1) Heyman writes a draft for the show 2) Vince & Co. liberally make changes to what Heyman has written 3) Vince's severely altered version makes it onto the air without compromising with Heyman

PWInsider said Vince was backstage during the Smackdown/ECW tapings.

The webmaster of Matt Hardy's website said that Hardy's blood test showed trace amounts of the staph infection that plagued him a few months ago. He is being taken off the road as a precaution.

Both Meltzer and PWInsider said he had a hardcore Vicodin dependency.

Yeah, because all matches in the old ECW ended in DQs, right?

How badly do you think The Undertaker is freaking out now? Or better yet, how relieved do you think he is, knowing he had Hep+ blood all over him and didn't test positive?
