Hawaii being a state is awesome. When is Puerto Rico going to get sensible and become one?

I think it was kind of weird who they chose to push and not push. Steve Williams was practically a jobber in the NWA for a while, while Michael Hayes actually got a singles push and had a mini-feud with Ric Flair, before re-forming the Freebirds.

Eh...what has she really done to warrant induction into the Hall of Fame? She was the first "diva" of the modern era, but she was only on top of WWF for like a year before fading into obscurity.

They should kind of book Orton as the opposite of Edge. Whereas Edge is a chickenshit coward, they should play up Randy Orton's vicious streak. He has kind of a mean southern vibe to him, kind of like his dad, or Dick Murdoch, etc. Have him play up how he can beat anyone in the ring. Have him cheat to win, and deliberately try to hurt people. They wouldn't have to book him as an unbeatable monster. Just have him be the guy who will beat a lower midcard guy without breaking a sweat, and then grab a chair and break the guy's leg just for fun. I wouldn't mind if they gave him a tag team partner again. I really liked the interaction he had with Edge. That'd get him over, and fit in with his personality (or at least give him some kind of personality).

It's been pretty well documented that Clique didn't like Shane Douglas at all.

Of course, I agree with a lot of BruiserKC's points. I think a lot of this hand wringing about Bush and the US not doing anything to stop the bloodshed in Darfur is designed to bait the US into another conflict, or otherwise just make our government look bad, once again.

Oh, snopes.com, how I love you. Let's not let the facts get in the way of a good story, though. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/kfc.asp I had actually heard the reason was that the state of Kentucky trademarked the word "Kentucky", but apparently that is not true either.

And 16,000 tonight after people, not learning anything, thought sales would drop off into Marlins numbers after the first game. Yeah, pretty good numbers again, even with all the snow around the Milwaukee area. I'm sure people will find a way to complain when there's "only" 12,000 or so at today's day game, though. Nice for the Brewers to win two games last night, as well. Tied for first place! Wooo!

Exactly. Lashley should've destroyed Shane in two minutes, and then snapped his neck for effect.

Maybe someone should tell him to see a dermatoligist.

"Your name is... Hugh Morrus? What? Is that supposed to be humourous? What?" That was fantastic, but it provided one of the biggest missed opportunities of the whole Invasion angle, running Stone Cold vs. Tazz. I guess by then they'd already decided on the ending and turning Austin back to a face, but I believe they could have made Tazz into a star if they'd matched him up to Austin. The fans were begging for it. They did match them up. Tazz jobbed in two minutes, IIRC.

Johnny Damon has never hit for more than 24 HRs in a season... in all of his 12 seasons played. Why would he hit 30 now? Because he's a Yankee. Those pinstripes grant superhuman powers. Didn't you know that?

Well, they make a good point. Yes, I'm joking here, you automatons.

Yeah, that's true. I think that's also the first time WWF made Hogan look somewhat vulnerable, with the angle where Bundy hurt Hogan's ribcage, unless I'm forgetting something earlier.

Austin's character was good at the time, the only problem was that other than RVD and maybe Angle, the rest of the Alliance was made to look like a bunch of jobber lackeys. Remember that one show where Austin just bitched out the whole Alliance, and they all just stood there and took it?

I could've seen them do something where Hogan just barely beat Piper out of the cage, or maybe he ties up Piper in the ropes (assuming it was "escape" rules) and then have Piper complain about it, but never doing a final blow off after that.

Indians-Angels in Milwaukee last night drew about 19,000. So much for the predictions of only 3-4,000 people in attendance. Yes, the 10 buck tickets for field level surely helped a lot, but it just goes to show that Milwaukee is a good baseball town after all.

Seemed like the crowd didn't know how to react to that one.

I agree there. That probably would've made WM2 a memorable show, rather than the forgettable one that "Oh yeah, had King Kong Bundy's one career making match", on it. Piper was the kind of heel that didn't need a title to be over. The only thing they could have done would've been to give him a Honky Tonk Man type reign where he repeatedly screwed midcard and uppercard babyfaces out of winning the title, before jobbing it back to Hogan, and that would've been pretty pointless in retrospect.

This whole McMahon-Lashley feud is very forced and bizarre at this point. Does anyone really want to see Lashley vs the McMahons and Umaga on a pay-per-view?

I've never gotten the "nappy head" thing. Isn't it basically just a hairstyle? Anyway, yeah, he said something stupid, but that's basically all talk radio is nowadays.

I like Joy Division. It's good, dark, moody music. No one told me to like them. I think I bought "Permanent" on a whim at a music store and enjoy most of the songs on it. Guess that makes me an idiot poseur, though

OK, is there any reason Lashley shouldn't murder Shane in under two minutes?

I don't think they're going to do Foley's big idea, whatever the hell it was. They threw this to him as a bone instead. I'd love to see the show end with Edge piledriving the kid through a car windshield, and Orton giving him the Garvin Stomp while Foley falls on his ass trying to make the save.
