Kimberly also said they did it on top of a car behind a grocery store one day.

Even with competition from the NCAA basketball finals, last night's Raw did a 4.3 rating, its best mark of the year. -- Dave Meltzer For the record, the last time RAW scored a 4.3 was on March 29th, 2004, the first RAW following the 2004 Draft Lottery. Results for that show were: -- Nidia defeated Molly Holly -- Rhyno defeated Lance Storm -- World Tag Team Champions Ric Flair & Batista defeated World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit & Shawn Michaels by DQ -- Tajiri defeated Kane by countout -- Shelton Benjamin defeated Triple H

According to Dave Meltzer, Dan Puder was supposed to beat him when they did the combined RAW & Smackdown from San Jose (since Puder is from there) the night after Royal Rumble. But that was Paul Heyman's idea, so it was dropped.

Linda McMahon said in a conference call right after the 2004 one that it would be a yearly thing.

I remember when Big Show was getting his ass kicked on RAW by Jeff Hardy and Tommy Dreamer. He's one of the few people that the brand split did very well for.

Just remember, at one time, naming a wrestler "The Rock" sounded idiotic.

That would be absolutely horrible.

I was kind of upset that they cancelled King of the Ring right after coming up with the ingenius stipulation that the winner got a title shot at Summerslam.

Yes, the last Nitro was not at La Vela.

The whole friggin thing is on the Rise & Fall of ECW DVD. Jeez. And just as trivia, WCW head of security Doug Dilenger was with Mike Awesome at that ECW Show.

Frankie Kazarian gave TNA management notice yesterday at the Impact! tapings that he was finishing with the promotion. According to one source, Kazarian's contract actually expired late last year and he was never asked to sign new paperwork, so he was working without a deal. Kazarian was a former co-holder of the X-Division championship with tag team partner Michael Shane. I don't have any word on how this affects Shane's status with TNA, if at all... Credit: PWInsider

PWInsider is reporting that Sherri will be at Smackdown tonight.

I bet Edge set this up.

Since when was Rue African-American?

Marty should throw HBK head-first through the insanely, grotesquely expensive Jeritron 5000.

I hope Jannetty has a better run than Mr. Perfect did when he came back in 2002.

Former ECW World Champion & Tag Team Champion Masato Tanaka announced today in Japan that he had been invited to appear at the 6/12 ECW One Night Stand PPV at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York and will be appearing on the show. Tanaka held the ECW World championship for several days towards the end of 1999, defeating Mike Awesome in Nashville, TN on 12/17, losing the belt back to Awesome in White Plains, New York on 12/23. Tanaka also held the ECW World Tag Team championships with Balls Mahoney and Tommy Dreamer. credit: PWInsider

And let us not forget how his theme music seemed to be out of sync.

Fuck that, I want another Mexican Death Match.

Saying Mr. Perfect fizzled because nostalgia wore off when he returned to the WWF in 2002 is total bullshit. He was treated like a total jobber after his RAW main event match with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Wrestling the fucking Heat match before WM18 (Mr. Perfect, Lance Storm, & Test vs. Rikishi, Scotty 2 Hotty, & Albert) and doing nothing but Heat duty, jobbing to everybody. Hell, I remember on the 2002 Draft RAW he jobbed to TAZZ, which was quite a blow to his credibility considering Tazz barely wrestled at that point. In fact, I do believe it was Tazz's last television match. And his last match in the company was jobbing to Matt Hardy on Heat. The idiotic creative team just had no grasp on his character. The first new promo they showed of him, he was playing chess with someone and cheated to win. Excuse me? Since when the fuck does Mr. Perfect have to cheat? He's perfect. It's just an example of the creative team's inability to execute the more subtle things. You hated Mr. Perfect because he WAS perfect. He did things you couldn't do. And what made him a heel, he was a total fucking asshole about it. That's a character. Not this "He cheats, boo him!" amateur storytelling bullshit. Mr. Perfect's 2002 run was a total, complete example of Stephanie McMahon's lack of skill when it comes to writing wrestling AND paying respect to a bona fide legend. I would have coked myself to death after that run too.

Stop right there. Your opinion just became meaningless. And I think it's an understood fact that the only reason Randy Orton got the World Title is so they could erase Brock Lesnar's name from the "Youngest World Champion" milestone.

No one seems to complain about Paul London wearing tassels.
