I haven't watched the last episode or two but I hope you are right only because they are so damn obnoxious they have to be acting. I would rather they not get the money because they are snobs and quite annoying.

Just think how good sales would be on this dvd if they included the Paris Hilton sex video.

No specific criteria. Everyone judges a wrestler based off of different criteria. So just based off of right now, who is your favorite? You can go off of career achievement, workrate, charisma, whatever. If you had to put them in order, how would you do it. Feel free to explain how you chose, just so we can see how you came to your conclusion. For me, I try to go by who entertains me the most both in and out of the ring. I chose Eddie - Angle - Benoit. It was a close call between Eddie and Angle at the top. I never like Angle when he plays face. When he's a heel he is awesome. I love his matches. As for Eddie, I like him as a face or a heel, his matches are awesome. Didn't like his over the top Cheech Marin he was doing during his time with Chyna, but he is still my favorite. Hasn't won the big one.....yet. Benoit is awesome in the ring and I love his badass image. I don't have a problem with his mic skills as most do, but he's just not my #1 favorite.

yeah but thats really nothing new... look at most of the ppv's during the late 90's where pretty much everything revolves around one match, the main event... but I see your point Did the marks think Eddie had a chance to win? Look back a month before. You had Hardcore Holly getting a superpush and Brock pretending to be terrified of him. We all knew he had no chance of winning but do the marks know the difference? I know Eddie is leagues ahead of Holly and the marks even seem to agree, but did that result in more buys? We shall see.

Between the Ropes interviewed Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff today to discuss the recent release of the Monday Night Wars DVD and other topics. Eric was asked for his thoughts on the DVD, and he said that the DVD did a great job of characterizing WCW and WWF from 1993 to 1999. Eric said that he was concerned about how WCW would be portrayed on the DVD. He is still worried that he would hear revisionist history that is tainted by political ambition, but that was not the case on this DVD. Eric said that the talk about WCW being financially mismanaged was untrue, and the reason the company was spending money was because it was budgeted. WCW went from a $24 million a year company losing $10 million to $350 million per year company making $30 million per year within 2 years of his arrival. Eric said that Ted Turner did not have a vendetta against Vince McMahon. Talk moved on to Eric's work with WWE, and he says that he never had any hatred towards Vince McMahon. Eric says that he was trying to be number one, and while some of the things he did might have been considered unethical, it was not to put WWF out of business. Eric did what he had to do, and there was no hatred on his part. Eric says that it was different to come to WWE, and he did feel like he was in the enemy camp at first. However, he did feel like he belonged there. Stepping back in front of a live crowd made him feel like he belonged there, and it was the right thing. Eric was asked about his relationship with Ric Flair. Eric admits that they have had a roller coaster relationship, and some of the greatest and most miserable moments have been a result of Ric Flair. Eric says that he is to blame for some of the problems, but also says that Ric Flair was not the 'patron saint' that he has been portrayed as in the business. There were some people in the company that acted unprofessionally, and there were times when Ric fell in that category. The current relationship between the two men is that they are 'friendly' and are professional around each other, but they will not be breaking bread anytime soon. Eric was asked about what he did for Eddie Guerrero after his automobile accident. Eric talked about how people are frustrated with the way Eric runs things, but some of those people are in the same position today with WWE. Eric has always tried to look out for the welfare of the people who work for him and with him. He feels that if people were honest, more people would tell the same story. Talk moved on to some of the tactics that happened, and was asked about what he wanted to do, but held back. Eric said that there were some things that they did not do. He felt at one time that they would never lose the number one position after WCW had it. Eric mentioned that Vince became very litigious around 1996, and at that time Turner put some handcuffs on Eric because of the fear of other lawsuits. Between the Ropes airs every Wednesday from 10:00 p.m. to Midnight Eastern on 740 The Team in Orlando, Florida and streams live on www.betweentheropes.com.

Vince Russo is expected to resume an on-air role with NWA: TNA soon. He has returned in a creative capacity for sometime now. Russo will likely be involved as the secret guy who has been telling Sonny Siaki not to join Jeff Jarrett. Credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

I don't recall seeing him in the next 8. Edit: this is form Idolonfox.com EIGHT DOWN, 24 TO GO! This week, Lisa, Kara, Bre, Matt, Jesus, Noel, Marissa and Camile get their moment in the spotlight

I think he's a good heel. He reminds me of Harvey Whippleman.

I liked when Ryan told Oliver that he knew what it felt like to have no one there for him and then the camera turned to Marissa. Bitch. Bye bye Anna, there's only one sherrif in this town, that being Summer. Luke rules, Sandy rules. Seth and Marissa don't.

I called it yesterday that Austin would stunner Goldberg to give Brock the win. But as the referee? Hmm...wonder if they'd turn him heel.

I can see Jindrak and Cade coming out to the Friends theme song.

The Foley-HHH matches were the best to me in that they beat the ever loving shit out of each other.

Oh yeah. MSG.

"Making tiny spanish New Yorkers vomit everywhere!"? That applies in this thread too.

I'm suprised Landon Donovan couldn't put one in the net.

What's that new McDonald's slogan?

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Austin will get a huge pop when he gives Goldberg the stunner to cost him the match with Brock.

I think Eddie will get a huge pop if he drives his lowrider in and has THE WWE title around his waist.

And you can't compare TNA to WCW. WCW had Ted Turner's wallet to steal whatever talent he wanted. TNA has Panda Energy and are basically I high end indy fed. As long as they only pick up those that have some use, such as a Kanyon, Raven and a Spanky, they will build properly. As long as they don't pick up garbage, they'll be fine.

There's only one:

Monday

At least the guys being cast off are decent wrestlers who many people, except for the bookers, writers and management liked. D-Lo, Raven, Kanyon and others I would take any day over guys who are being kept, like Bob Holly, A-Train, and Mark Henry.

He is still the Alliance MVP in my book.

Did Jack right cross Nina's jaw? That owned. I was hoping Chloe was going to right cross Kim. And its good to see that Jack is no longer a heroin addict and Tony now has fully recovered from major surgery. They need to pay closer attention to some of these details.
