reign

Oh it sucks but damnit if I didn't see a trailer for that new FMP anime....

I wonder if they'll go through with a story on this...it could be pretty good...they've got all the players in the right spots...except for Matt who should be a late entrance in the ladder match if his knee can go...they should run with this for crying out loud...exploit it...I don't remember how long that this has been going on but with all the "slut" comments by Trish, the spraypaint and then as the story is breaking that night Lita shows up on Raw distracting Trish so that Hemme can give her the damn Twist of Fate...isn't that ironic..why not use her DDT? I think I saw a wink there....

Right!...and the BurnInMy Light at the fourway stop right down the road!

Who should switch brands after Mania? I'd like to see John Cena first and foremost. I guess that means he doesn't beat JBL for the WWE title but I don't think that he should. With Batista looking very strong I think that it should be his night. Cena has to lose the U.S title at some point but I think that Cena would be more over with a return to SD! PPV after he is on Raw a few weeks to drop the strap to someone over. In his place I want either HBK to SD! to keep a feud with Angle or Angle to Raw for one last run on the flagship. If he goes then HHH should go to SD! to take on I don't have a clue...Taker?...JBL might be good as Hunter would undoubtably be over huge ...and then we'd get Eddie,Rey and others against HHH... So... John Cena and Kurt Angle to Raw for HHH and I guess Christian for kicks to SD!...Ric Flair should retire after beating Eric Bishoff in a bloody steel cage match as HHH needs to drop the tag along...any body got any ideas?

I hope that when Jericho is issuing his challenges to Christian, Edge, Hassan and Benoit that Shelton comes out and demands to be part of the match saying that you can't have a ladder match without a prize and that if your looking for the best that the IC Champ is the best or something to that effect...it would at least add some story to it with Shelton being the fighting champion and all...I agree that Benoit and Edge should NOT be in this match so maybe it'll be an interpromotional match but I doubt it...imagine seeing a team Raw vs. SD! ladder match with a plack for each roster hanging so that you have two prizes to go for with Jericho,Christian and Shelton against the Dudleys and Rey?(couldn't think of a better 3 man team)...

Judging by how close Mania is and the fact that they've missed chances at the Rumble and with Long on Raw to get anything going between Orton and Taker I'd say that UT isn't accepting this match and with Vince on the sidelines it's apparent that things aren't maybe running at full speed...but if Vince says "GO" UT will do it or pay the price...Vince got rid of Hogan, Bret and Austin(his biggest stars)...he'd wouldn't think twice if UT didn't do what he thought is right for the biz.... ...And I think that it's the only place they can go right now for Orton...he's already a heel again in my opinion...just look at him with all the clapping for faces...it's obvious that the heel is there..maybe the brain damage he just went through coulda sent him over the edge...he can destroy Kane to kick it off...then beat Taker at Mania

Blue Gender is a great show too...it would be good to see them bring that back for a run on adult swim....Robot Chicken was gold...I had been waiting to see this... I though that it'd be like Twisted Toyfare Theatre but was happy to see that it was different(either way woulda been great)... Drunk Superman ws the favorite last night..that part where he super-burps had me in tears.....

I'd like to know...are the matches full length and is that Monday Night War show actual Raws and Nitros? I'd love any thoughts or details on the "channel" as it were...

You have heard of the likes of Scotty TOOOO Hotty have you not...tell me that you expect him or Rhyno,Dupree,Nunzio,Shannon Moore,Hurricane and Rosey, or Steven fuckin' Richards to have a high impact and winning match the last 27 times they've walked the aisle...and tell me you didn't say that...... "say what" "Hurricane?" "oh...blame Hhhaarrggg!!" dropped with an axe kick...Reign KO'd.....

I am in agreement...there seems to be a little bit of 96' nostalgia goin around this place right now...I used to most of 96 and 97's PPvs...the originals straight from WWF....I wish I still had them as those were great to watch knowing what would be happening in a year or so later.. it will be cool once 24/7 gets there..how'd you get all those Raw's again?

I'm just curious(not doubting you at all) but who in the WWF(E) prior to the recent guys from OVW have been groomed for a big run right from the get go? I agree that the next boom will be with an entirely new look and concept...I never really watched consistently or knew results of shows back when Austin got big because I always missed Raw and Nitro reairing late Monday was genious and locked me in to the NWO....I keep thinking that somebody will come along and just kick wrestling into the next level by going on HBO or Showtime with a super show that is produced like a PPV once a week with a huge stage and effects but with harsh language more violence AND a big emphasis on wrestling and stories meaning something...put some of HBO's writers with some new wrestling minds and give a replay once or twice...then branch to tv....above all it's going to take competition to spur this and I don't think there is any.... ...............or trade Cena to Raw...maybe end the brand extension....Cena to Raw would at least cause excitement....trade him for Jericho or something...have him chase HHH for a year....include Orton...you gotta keep him involved at the top somehow without killing him...the idea is that Cena can wrestle again with the good talent and chase HHH...Cena is WWE's only possible mega-over guy and can later build to a feud with super heel Orton(who can do it) another year or so down the road...maybe not a boom but at least give them a chance with what they have.....I think that if they did a brand versus brand right now that it would be popular for a little while....

Batista vs. Flair is next...they'll drag this out for three weeks max...I hope this DOESN'T happen as a drawn out build-up is what they really need...

What they (WWE) need to be careful of is that when Orton does go heel he's still gonna get pops and cheers...just like HHH. As a heel he will become sorta cool again as he was getting the fans before the title win...I think HHH should take advantage of a concussed Orton and turn him against Batista or somthing and have Orton beat Flair on a retirement match...that'd turn him heel.....

God I love it when Dickerman weighs in...we are blessed by your presence here Mr Dickerman...looking forward to the show tomorrow and hope you have more guests like Jericho on(you guys have been on sort of a roll with the WWE guest, two weeks in a row!).....

I kinda just think that WWE should NOT try to capitalize on the fact that Canadian fans, especially Toronto, cheer and boo people differently than what most do in the states...having a show in Canada is almost a selling point on it's own now because I love to see the fans reactions to whats going on...I like that JR and the King and others acknowledge the difference too...but don't even attempt to make an angle just yet because it's not like you can kill off the angle because Canada will always be Canada...WWE poured rocket fuel all over the fire that is Canadian pride when Bret and the Hart Foundation became heels in the US but were proud to be Canadian and Montreal only intensified that feeling...now days if Raw is Toronto then I'm gonna watch because you Canuks are freakin great.......

what is a MNM?

Word...Arn's run in was one of the best timed I've ever seen...a definate mark-the-F-out moment...but how about all the near falls in Bret/Davey Boy from SS 92 with Vince and the Brain on commentary...those two and the fans whole hearted reactions every time there was a pin attempt were fantastic...still the best WWF match I've ever seen....

Just checked Amazon and JEEZ are those two expensive! WTF...like $50 a piece...I just want them for TLC and Heymans commentary and Rock/Hogan and Austin/Hall...anybody think that they're worth the cash?

Are the DVDs for Mania 17 and 18 hard to find? I've heard that they are or they're expensive or something but I've never really looked. I guess I could since it's only a click away....

A good question is also what to do with Eugene as his character is stale as month old bread...While he is out(isn't it like six months) they should show him rehabbing so he stays fresh in our minds, continuing his "challenged" persona in the hospital and such but slowly start to show little bits of him acting "normal"...like hitting on a sexy nurse as a guy at a bar might do but stopping just as the camera comes in...just tease a little that he's not as challenged as we all thought...while he's out he needs to WORK THE FUCK OUT..I have no idea what he looked like as Nick Dinsmore but now he looks a little chubby but I heard he's a helluva worker so let him get into good shape so that when he does come back as "Eugene" he can turn heel saying that he used everybody and their sympathy to get into the WWE..he can shave his head and become a killer heel...the other option after he has surgery for real have cameras show getting ready for the worked surgery on his knee...after a week or so have the doctors be like "uhhh I'm sorry Mr. Regal we actually perfromed brain surgery instead" and have him come back as a brainiac and still be a killer heel...as far as the titles go I hope that the Chris's get them or have a team come in (like AMW) and state that they want to regenerate the titles and have them just start attacking random top guys, like the Chris's or Flair and Christian so that they will team up to get beaten by this new team therebye proving that they beat anyone... BTW it looks like we can have this same discussion about the SD! titles now that RVD is gonna be out...

I second that! C'Mon... I'll be your best frieeennndd!

I'm sure that NONE of the divas sell merchandise like shirts and stuff but I know that all three of the Divas you mentioned participated in the photo shoots at one time or another...even Jazz(at least once)...and Gail Kim shoulda stuck around...she was at least a good heel sidekick....blame WWE not Gail...pushing her to the moon from day one rarely does anybody any good.

Did anybody here ever get a copy of Diana Harts books that was pulled? That's what I'd like to read. And Owens book is out too.

I've heard the generic WCW music on more than a few TV commercials and some porn too...they used to rehash so much of it though it's hard to tell...I always thought the Hollywood Blondes music was the best original theme they ever came up with...

Where's Raw at tomorrow? I hope that the Rock shows up and cuts a promo on Orton that starts his the much needed heel turn to set up Mania...
