Dobbs 3K

Jeff Jarrett being booked by Vince Russo...the combo that brought WCW to the top of the sports entertainment industry.

I bet they'll do some kind of "ECW Champion's Open Challenge" and have Lashley continue to beat midcarders from other shows (MVP, Kennedy, Dykstra, Finlay, etc), until they build someone like Elijah Burke or Marcus Cor Von into a credible challenger. Or they'll have him feud with SNITSKY!

Uh... Czech.

They can't turn Punk heel right now. That would leave Lashley as the only viable face on ECW (assuming RVD, Sabu, and Sandman are going to leave sooner than later). Who else would the fans rally around? Tommy Dreamer?

I don't get why people obsess over this stuff. Yes, it would be cool to hear Demolition's entrance music on the newer releases, but does hearing generic rock music instead for 20-30 seconds really make a big difference?

I'm not big on their history either, but basically XWF was Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart's attempt to fill the void left by WCW's demise. I believe they had some financial backing, and were trying to get a TV deal. XWF had a lot of former WCW guys, and was trying to be a "family friendly alternative". They taped their episodes at Universal Studios in Florida. Their big problem was that they were unable to secure a TV deal, and WWF ended up signing Hogan, Piper, Hennig, Lawler and Sable (who was their "commisioner") to deals. WWE has the rights to their footage now, obviously.

Yeah...I don't know if I buy that Mabel accidentally fell on top of someone and couldn't get up...the ref probably wouldn't have counted the pin in that situation, or at least made like the guy kicked out at 2.

How would turning him heel against the Originals boost his popularity?

What the hell is with Grisham's calling style? It's weird.

Ah, the Garvin Stomp. Anyone else notice Orton is now using the Liontamer, or a move very close to it?

I forgot I was posting in the Food folder To redeem myself, how about the one where the McDonald's ball pits in the play area are breeding grounds for rattle snakes that will bite your children and kill them with venomous poison?

I do like Kane's new chain thingy. At least it's something to spice up his beyond stale character.

Someone finally said something that made some sense in this thread.

I thought Khali was going to brutally rape Ashley in the ring while screaming "BLARGGHHH COMPUHTITION UNGA ARRRR KHALIIIII!"

The surprise was JBL talking instead of wrestling, unless I missed something.

OK, that made me happy. Especially when Umaga shoved the chair over. I REALLY hate Eugene.

Yes, they even had a match on a PPV. I would like for Umaga to start giving Eugene repeated Samoan Spikes, and for Eugene to have blood coming out of his mouth...then have the ref spit on Eugene, and they take him off on a stretcher, only to throw him in a dumpster and light it on fire.

Just kill Eugene off already. I've been begging for it to happen for about two years now. I've said it before, but he's been like a heatless, castrated donkey since Triple H squashed him in that cage match.

I wonder how much of a pop Roberts really got when he DDTed Hogan, or if that is just smartmark revisionist history.

So Edge got taken out of the match, only to get back in. OK.

It's times like this where I wonder if we as the fans don't have the power to effect change in wrestling promotions. After all, we're their customers. I just am not sure how it would be feasible.

Couldn't criminal charges be filed against them?

Why is Val Venis in this battle royal? Who's he beaten in the last four years to warrant a chance for a spot at Wrestlemania?

I think they do either way.

Wow, soda as a contraceptive. Kids really are idiots. What I've heard about Mountain Dew is that there is a dye in it that really can lower your sperm count, but you have to drink huge quantities of it to actually have an effect...like, more than a dozen cans a day for an extended period of time. Not sure if that's even true, but it makes more sense. My favorite urban legend is the one about Rod Stewart (or any famous British rock star) passing out backstage before a show, having his stomach pumped, and a quart of semen being removed. Either that or the "fun house" with all the trap doors and different levels that no one ever made it through, that was supposed to be in Chicago (or any other major US city).
