Good enough for me. And for me as well. I'm guessing it will be a two disc set, so that will make it about $15 for me to get on my Best Buy discount. Yeah, WWE DVDs come out fast. We've had Royal Rumble for a couple of weeks now.

Damn... Cena has been injury-prone thus far in 2004.

I'm afraid I'm starting to think it will be Triple H more and more. This is a big reason why I'm not going out of my way to see this show live. I hope I'm wrong. Eddie Guerrero all the way, regardless of what the Wrestling Observor says about the No Way Out buyrate and Guerrero's drawing power. Rock and Sock go over to please the crowd who will be pissed at HHH's victory later on. Orton will eventually win this feud though. Kane.... just kidding, 'Taker wins this one. Two four way tag matches for each brand's tag title? Kill me now. Seriously though... Haas and Benjamin. RVD and Booker T will get a nice little win here. I think Victoria will go over, and Molly's new bald head will be her gimmick for a little while. Without Paul London, this match is meaningless to me. Fuck it all. And Chavo will win. This one just became harder to call since it looks unlikely that Lesnar will be around for a while after Wrestlemania. With that little turn of events, I guess I'm going with Goldberg now. I would mark out like a bitch if Matt Hardy and Lance Storm interupted this match. Anyways, I'd normally say that Sable and Torrie will win, but it seems as if WWE thinks the crowd would rather see them get stripped, so I'm going with Stacey and Jackie for this one. This is going to be Cena's big night. I can feel it. If Jericho doesn't win, I might not watch Raw for a little while (unless Benoit wins). So I'm saying Jericho gets a victory.

Whatever, I don't need the approval of others to know if I'm a true fan or not. And it's not my fault if the card is less than exciting.

I'm excited, but I just don't really have any worthwhile way to watch it live. I did the same thing with Wrestlemania XIX last year.

Bah, two four way tag matches on card is overkill. As happy as I am about such a large number of talent making the show, there could have been better ways to do so.

I'm just going to buy the dvd when it comes out. I have other plans for sunday night because I don't have ANY friends planning on watching the show, I don't feel like going to a crowded Hooters by myself, and there is no way in HELL i'm paying $50 bucks for a show that I would be watching by myself (especially when I'm only going to pay 13 bucks for the dvd in two months, with all the extras and such).

WWF Smackdown! July 27, 2006 Don Callis has words to say. Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to Smackdown, but get cut off by the music of Don Callis. He makes his way to the ring and grabs a mic. Callis: I am out here tonight to speak some truth to all of you. That's right, for once you are going to hear the truth, because you are all living in the past and you are living in delusion. The truth of the matter is that "everyone's favorite wrestler" down right sucks! (The audience is chanting "RVD" by this point, Callis acknowledges the chants). Ah, so you all know who I'm talking about, maybe you aren't as stupid as I thought. Either way, I'd like to show you some footage, if you would turn your attention to the titantron: A clip from the RVD/Styles match from Wrestlemania XXI plays. RVD is spinning around the ring like a top and out-maneuvering Styles at every turn. Callis: See, this is the past! This is from a year and a half ago! Look at how awesome your favorite wrestler is! Kind of sucks that he lost that match in the end afterall! (Cole throws a fit and reminds us that Callis had interfered in that match). Now here is a clip from Smackdown three weeks ago. Another clip airs, this one being from Styles vs RVD on a recent Smackdown. This time it is Styles flying around the ring while RVD is doing the best he can with ground-based attacks, due to his previously broken leg. Callis: Look at that! There is no question in mind that AJ Styles was superior to RVD back then, and there is no question now! RVD is foolish to confront a man who has never beaten, he should just retire right now! Suddenly, RVD's music hits and he comes out to a great pop. He gets into the ring and Callis looks a bit nervous. Callis: Now, RVD, I'm just showing you some harsh reality, I'... (RVD grabs the mic). RVD: Dude... no argument here. There are many things I could do before that I cannot do now. But who cares! (huge pop). Styles might still be faster than me, but at least I am not the most hated wrestler in this building! (huge pop). Callis gets another mic: What are you talking about? The fans love AJ Styles (huge boo). RVD: Right, well, you did make one point. That is that I should be thinking about retirement. I mean, jeez. I have my own comic book shop to run! That and I've done it all! I was WWF Champion for eight months! I've held every title there is to hold! I'm pretty happy with myself. Callis: Excellent, feel free to leave at anytime. RVD: BUT! There is some unfinished business I have yet to attend to. I have met AJ Styles on pay-per-view three times, and he has pinned me on pay-per-view three times. I want him at Summerslam one more time. It will be my retirement match, and I want to prove to the world, and to myself, that even without my high flying abilities... that I am better than AJ Styles. Callis: You're on! Why don't we get started early though! Why don't you go get that piece of crap, Orlando Jordan, and have a little match tonight with AJ Styles and my newest client, Matt Hardy! RVD: Orlando Jordan? You mean that poor guy your goons decimated in the ring last week? Callis: Yeah, that guy. RVD: You are on! RVD nails Callis in the face and leaves. Ultimo Dragon vs Kid Kash The Match: Dropkick connects to the BUTT of the jaw and Ultimo goes down. Ultimo walks into a high dropkick from Kid Kash, almost losing several teeth in the process. Ultimo takes a flying neckbreaker from Kid Kash. THERE IT IS! A legdrop to the BACK OF THE HEAD! I swear, that makes any match just a little bit better. I don't mind telling you that every time I see it, that's for sure. Ultimo reverses a Kid Kash hammerlock. THERE IT IS! A legdrop to the BACK OF THE HEAD! I swear, that makes any match just a little bit better. I don't mind telling you that every time I see it, that's for sure. Flying cross body off the top rope! Hooks the leg for a two count. Ultimo Dragon gets taken down out of nowhere! Super kick by Kid Kash. Hooks the leg for a two count. Power drive elbow by Kid Kash. That sounds like a feature on a 4 x 4, doesn't it. Pin, but Ultimo is out just before the three count. Kash drops an elbow...but Ultimo Dragon moves out of the way. Standing leg lariat by Ultimo Dragon on Kash. Kash pushes out of a Ultimo Dragon hold. THERE IT IS! A legdrop to the BACK OF THE HEAD! I swear, that makes any match just a little bit better. I don't mind telling you that every time I see it, that's for sure. Ultimo scores with a forearm, sending Kash down into the corner. The referee pulls Ultimo Dragon away to get the break. Wait! Kash has pulled something out of his tights. Ultimo Dragon walks over...and gets floored by a punch! 1....2....3! The referee never saw the brass knuckles! Frankie Kazarian comes running down the aisle, and gets into the ring! Frankie Kazarian spins Kash around. Frankie Kazarian hits the Wave Of The Future! Kid Kash has been left down on the canvas. My Opinion: Some blown spots really drag this match down a notch, so its ***1\2 for you. Cole: Kazarian gets some vengeance, not only for himself but for Ultimo Dragon! Winner: Kid Kash Josh Matthews with Orlando Jordan Matthews: It was just announced that you have a match tonight against one of the men who bruised you up last week. How do you feel? Jordan: I'm always in the mood to fight against that no good Matt Hardy. But AJ Styles? You do not want to make an enemy out of me. It was just fun wrestling you before, but now it's personal. I'm going to let RVD rip into you and then destroy whatever remains of you afterwards! Kanyan and O'Haire vs Jimmy Rave and Nova Match Background: Sean O'Haire beat Jimmy Rave in the Heat match before Fully Loaded. Rave picked up a win over O'Haire's tag partner on Velocity last week as well. The Match: Jimmy Rave kicks the leg, knocks Kanyon down, and goes to work on it. Rave hits a dropkick on Chris Kanyon and gets right back up. There's a two count on the pin. Tag between Jimmy Rave and Nova. Jimmy Rave and Nova hook up Kanyon, then hit a double suplex. Covers for a quick two count. Nova uses a basement dropkick to the knee and it looks like it might be TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL~! Nova misses a clothesline. Nova walks into a side slam. Think about how much talent it takes to side slam someone. Nash can do it. There's a two count on the pin. Tag between Chris Kanyon and Sean O'Haire. Sean O'Haire hits a bulldog off the ropes. Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! Nova charges into the corner, but EATS BOOT and staggers backward. Nova pulls a mule kick out of nowhere. Flying elbow from Nova connects. Tag to Jimmy Rave.

Rave tries to attack, but gets beaten to the floor with punches and kicks. Nova has a brief offensive flurry, but gets nailed with a boot to the gut...and hit with the Super Bomb! Rhyno \ Mack have laid everyone out! My Opinion: They definitely need to hook up again, I don't care what anyone says. ***1\2 Cole: Dammit! Rhyno and Rodney Mack just took out four men! Tazz: They are pissed off, Cole. You cannot tell who they will attack and why! Winners: Jimmy Rave and Nova The Sanders Administration Speaks Rhyno: I... am... the...WWF CHAMPION! Don't I get some sort of respect for such an achievement? DON'T I GET TO HAVE SOME GLORY! If so, then why am I being HASSLED by some SCRAWNY little CRUISERWEIGHT named PAUL LONDON! That's okay though... because I don't have to deal with that PUNK tonight. The titantron shows a camera following Reno at an airport. He is dressed as a security guard and he is showing other airport security photos of Chad Collyer and Paul London. Rhyno: Once again, Reno has earned his keep with us. Those fools at the airport think Collyer and London have DRUGS ON THEM! (Sanders and Mack crack up). Sanders: That's right, champ. We're afraid that tonight will be our night, there is no one to oppose us, except maybe... um... what's his face... you know that guy who volunteered to help Collyer and London... oh yeah, Johnny Stamboli. Let's not play games here, Johnny. Come out here and face us before we go back there and find you. It's going down either way. Johnny Stamboli vs Rhyno and Rodney Mack Match Background: This will be a 2 on 1 handicap bout. Rhyno is the reigning WWF World champion, and has been since 16 July 2006. Rodney Mack is the reigning WWF United States champion, and has been since 16 July 2006.

Cole: What a heroic battle by Johnn Stamboli. He did all he could tonight, but the numbers game was just too much. Tazz: What a brilliant scheme by the Sanders Administration. They sent their enforcer, Reno, to keep Collyer and London from being here to stop them. Winners: Rhyno and Rodney Mack Low Ki vs TAKA Michinoku Match Background: Low Ki works for Don Callis.

TAKA Michinoku can barely stand. Here it comes - Ki Krusher. 1....2...3, it's finished. Low Ki climbs each turnbuckle in turn, working the crowd as he celebrates his victory My Opinion: I'd love to see a rematch and see if they can top this. **** Tazz: What an awesome display by these two men! Cole: It was a hell of a match! It's a shame that Low Ki works for Callis, could you imagine what he might be able to do if he was free of them? Winner: Low Ki Guess who! Josh Matthews is about to interview a very exhausted looking Billy Kidman, when suddenly Chad Collyer and Paul London come storming in! Matthews: I thought you two were stuck at the airport! Collyer: We were! That is until, Mike Sanders made one very big mistake. London: That's right, the security had Smackdown on in the office and they saw Sanders and Rhyno bragging. Collyer: So they apologized and let us go. Rumor has it they have a warrant out for Reno's arrest as well. London: But now, I want to go to the ring... by myself. I have some unfinished business. Collyer: Good luck, man. WWF Tag Team Championship: The Basham Brothers © vs Haas and Benjamin Match Background: Basham Brothers are one of the most experienced teams in the promotion. Haas and Benjamin are one of the most experienced teams in the promotion. This match is for the WWF Tag Team titles. Basham Brothers have been WWF Tag Team champions since 16 July 2006.

BIG clothesline on Shelton. Danny hits a piledriver on Shelton Benjamin. That used to end matches, you know. Shelton counters a sleeper with a jaw breaker and is able to get free! Tag to Charlie Haas. Tiger bomb by Charlie Haas, which is nowhere near as cool as a botched Pedigree but gets the job done. Danny walks into a face crusher variation. Has anyone's face ever really been crushed by one though? Hooks the leg! ONE...TWO...NO! Back suplex on Danny. Danny powers out of a headlock. Danny hits a piledriver on Charlie Haas. That used to end matches, you know. Charlie Haas is all alone...Double DDT!! 1....2....3! My Opinion: This match was awesome! Big moves, crisp psychology, just ended too soon. Another ten minutes would have added another star, but **** none-the-less. Winners and STILL WWF Tag Team Champions: The Basham Brothers Paul London makes his entrance to the ring. He grabs a mic. London: All I have to say is this: I want Rhyno... right now! (he drops the mic and waits). Cole: Paul London just called out the WWF Champion! Tazz: But will he accept it. Bill DeMott's music plays.

London hits a HARD spinning kick to the jaw. Paul London hits a rolling kick on DeMott. Konnan has ruined any chance for me ever enjoying this maneuver again with his shitty execution of it.

I bet those hurt more than Sgt. Slaughter's Noogies. Bill DeMott misses a big legdrop after stalling too long. Flying elbow from Paul London connects. Paul London floors Bill DeMott...and climbs the turnbuckles. Through the air, London Calling! 1....2....3. Rhyno comes running down the aisle with a chair and into the ring! London turns...and is dropped by a vicious chair shot! Rhyno has left London down and bloodied. My Opinion: These guys worked SO HARD...for a **1/2 rating. Tazz: Another brilliant attack by Rhyno! Cole: Brilliant? Rhyno attacked London once he had his back turned! Tazz: It's a very effect strategy, Cole. It's well known that sneak attacks do more damage... Cole: Oh, cut it out. Rhyno is just insecure from getting his ass handed to him by London last week, so he was too chicken to confront him head on! Winner: Paul London Styles and Hardy vs Rob Van Dam and Orlando Jordan The Match: RVD hits a back kick, doubling Stylesover. AJ Styles takes a knee lift from RVD. *sigh* Running knee lifts always remind me of the late Curt Hennig. Covers for a quick two count. Tag between Rob Van Dam and Orlando Jordan.

Tag between Orlando Jordan and Rob Van Dam. Matt Hardy Version 1.0 gets hip tossed by RVD. Tag between Matt Hardy Version 1.0 and AJ Styles. Rob Van Dam arm drags Styles over and locks on an armbar.

The referee calls for the DQ as Low Ki continues to attack RVD. RVD \ Jordan are left down and out in the ring thanks to the attack of Styles, Hardy and Low Ki. My Opinion: Ohh, looky. A **3/4 match! Cole: The trio of AJ Styles, Matt Hardy, and Low Ki has taken out two injured men! Tazz: This has been a night of brilliant attacks! Cole: But we have AJ Styles facing Rob Van Dam at Summerslam! That much is certain. The road to Summerslam continues next week. Winners by DQ: Rob Van Dam and Orlando Jordan

Thanks reading! I'm glad you're enjoying this thus far, I'm hoping that as I keep going, the stories and characters will get stronger and better. Thanks for the feedback!

WWF Raw! July 24, 2006 Shawn Michaels Addresses the People "Sexy Boy" plays over the speakers and HBK makes his way to the ring. Meanwhile, Jim Ross and Al Snow welcome us to Raw. HBK: Last week I promised that huge changes were in store for Raw. This week I start delivering on that promise. First off, I'd like to start by administering a new rule that basically would not be necessary if everyone followed the rules in the first place. For now on, outside interferance in matches is unacceptable. This goes for everyone, period. If you interfere in a match, you will be dealt with. I hope that is clear. Secondly, I'm in the mood for a good fight tonight. That is why tonight's World Title match between Chris Benoit and CM Punk will be a falls count anywhere match. Benoit and Punk have been at each other's throats for over two months now, I'd hate to see this match need to be contained to the ring. As a reminder to Evolution, I want you all to remember my new stand on interferene. No interference. Ever. Period. Finally, I have been in negotiations with some Smackdown stars who I think could bring a lot to Raw. Their Smackdown contracts were expiring, so I offered them a fresh start. To start off, making his Raw debut tonight: BRIAN KENDRICK! Kendrick's music plays and the wrestler formerly known as Spanky hops down to the ring. He gives HBK a high-five and receives a huge pop. The first match is after the commercial break. Brian Kendrick vs Austin Lee J.R: Well, so far I have to admire Shawn Michaels as General Manager. He seems to really want to turn things around. Snow: Evolution is in big trouble, J.R. Their entire game plan revolves around the numbers game, and this new enforcement of no interference is going to hurt them. J.R. They are just going to have to be creative. The Match: Brian Kendrick strikes Lee. Brian Kendrick kicks the leg, knocks Lee down, and goes to work on it. Implant DDT by Brian Kendrick! I will always and forever mark out for that move. Spin kick by Brian Kendrick to the face sends the opponent FLYING across the ring. Lee blocks a kick from Brian Kendrick. Second rope flying axe handle, Kendrick goes down. One day, Lee might even consider coming off the top with that. You know...for more impact and stuff. SUPER frankensteiner on Kendrick, who hit hard. There's a two count on the pin. Kendrick powers out of a headlock. Lightning kick by Kendrick on Lee. There's a two count on the pin. DDT from the top rope by Brian Kendrick. That looked KILLER. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. Brian Kendrick misses a clothesline. Lee hits a HARD spinning kick to the jaw. Kendrick blocks a punch. Flying elbow from Brian Kendrick connects. Brian Kendrick drives Austin Lee into the corner. Sliced Bread #2! 1....2....3. Austin Lee looks furious. The referee walks over...and gets blasted with a clothesline! Lee has lost it! My Opinion: I'd love to see a rematch and see if they can top this. **** J.R.: What an awesome debut for Brian Kendrick. He has the potential to go far on Raw. Winner: Brian Kendrick Richards and Victoria Interview The Coach is with Stevie Richards and Victoria. Stevie bashes HBK for his new rule and promises that nothing will keep Evolution away from success. Victoria then makes a challenge to Trish Stratus for Summerslam. She wants the Women's championship. Intercontinental Championship: Tommy Dreamer © vs Steve Corino. Match Background: This will be a hardcore bout. This match is for the WWF Intercontinental title. Tommy Dreamer has been WWF Intercontinental champion since 20 February 2006. Last week on Raw, Dreamer and Corino wrestled to a double disqualification for roughing up the referee. The Match: Trying to channel the spirit of Misawa, Tommy Dreamer ends up chanelling Lex Luger instead and nails a running forearm to the face, minus the steel plate, of course. Corino pushes out of a Tommy Dreamer hold. Dreamer is a glutton for punishment and just continues to take it during this match. The referee bumps after catching a wild right hand and is down. DEATH VALLEY DRIVAH~! by Steve Corino just KILLS Tommy Dreamer! Cover, but there's no one to count for Steve Corino! Dreamer blocks a punch. Tommy Dreamer smashes a Playstation console over the head of Corino. Should have used an X-Box, they're much bigger. Spear by Tommy Dreamer. Covers for a quick two count. Massive lariat! Stan Hansen would approve. Cover, ONE...TWO...NO! I honestly thought that match was going to end right then and there. Tommy Dreamer misses a clothesline. Steve Corino drives a table into Dreamer.

Steve Corino hits the Old School Expulsion! My Opinion: Ohh, looky. A **3/4 match! Snow: Dreamer continues his dominance as IC Champion! Winner and STILL IC Champ: Tommy Dreamer Justin Credible vs Triple H Match Background: Last week the Impact Players lost a tag match to other Evolution members Simon Diamond and Ken Shamrock. The Match: Triple H connects with rights and lefts and Justin Credible is down! Credible is a glutton for punishment and just continues to take it during this match.

Justin Credible can barely stand. Pedigree! 1....2....3. HHH \ Shamrock are beating down on Justin Credible! The music of Lance Storm hits, and he comes running down the aisle into the ring. HHH and Shamrock don't hesitate though, and attack him as soon as he enters the ring! Lance Storm gets beaten down as well, and soon joins Justin Credible down and out on the canvas. HHH \ Shamrock have destroyed them both! My Opinion: Nothing offensive, but nothing too special either. **1\2 rating. Snow: The Impact Players have suffered defeat at the hands of Evolution yet again! Ross: Not only that, but that son of a bitch, Ken Shamrock, just interfered in the match! That was just strictly forbidden earlier in the broadcast. HBK's music plays and he comes out again. Snow: You're right, J.R. Someone is about to pay. Winner: Triple H HBK Upholds the New Rule HBK stays at the entrance ramp and has a mic in hand. HBK: I thought I made it clear that interference was forbidden as of tonight. (Shamrock just spits in response). HHH: Well, Shawn, that's nice. But seriously, what are you going to do to stop us? If you think you can mess with Evolution, then you are in for a world of hurt. HBK: Well, Hunter, you're right. Evolution is too crafty for me. That is why I have signed someone very familiar to you to a new Raw contract. This person knows how your mind works better than just about anyone. HHH: That's funny, Shawn. To fully comprehend how Evolution works, this person would have to have been in Evolution at some point. HBK: Funny that you mention this, Hunter. Because he was. Ken Shamrock, I hope you are ready to wrestle, because you have a match right now. If you lose it, you are suspended until further notice. Triple H, Shamrock, allow me to introduce the newest addition to the Raw roster: Randy Orton! Ross: What?!? Orton is back? Snow: After a year on Smackdown, Randy Orton is back to Raw! And look at Triple H's face! Ken Shamrock vs Randy Orton The Match: BAAACK Body drop by Orton gets a bit of a pop from the crowd. Orton takes a quick lariat. Covers for a quick two count.

My Opinion: Slightly above average match. Only gets a **3\4 rating from me. Ross: That's it! Ken Shamrock has been suspended until futher notice! Snow: Shawn Michaels wasn't kidding about the New Rule! Ross: Doesn't look as though Diamond is too happy with his tag partner being suspended. He took his revenge out on Orton. Winner: Randy Orton Interview with Steve Corino The Coach asks Steve Corino how he feels about his loss to Tommy Dreamer. Corino screams at Coach, saying he only lost because it was a barbaric hardcore rules match. He claims that Dreamer cannot match him in a "legitimate" match and challenges Dreamer to yet another match next week, this time a submission match.

This match is for the World Tag Team titles. Helms and Moore have been World Tag Team champions since 27 June 2006. Snow: What do you think of the rumors that Lodi has a secret crush on Ozzy Benton? Ross: Why, I haven't heard any such rumors, but that makes me sick. Snow: What's wrong with that? Ross: Nothing against Lodi, but I assure you that Ozzy Benton has little to no interest in anything romantic with him. This is all about business.

It was either ** or ****, but I guess I'll have to compromise and say ***. Winners and STILL World Tag Team Champions: Shane Helms and Shannon Moore Ross: The main event is next!

So far there are 13 votes for Eddie.. and that's it. Let's hope WWE agrees.

We finally have a year where the WWE title match winner is not a sure bet. Last year we all knew Lesnar was going over Angle, in 2002 we all knew Triple H was going over Jericho, and in 2001 we all knew that Austin was going over The Rock. So who wins this year?

1) Undertaker 2) Guerrero 3) Benoit 'nuff said.

You think FBI could turn face? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big FBI fan, but I can't see the fans getting behind them as a face team. People LOVE the Mafia. I'd get behind a face FBI

Wow, so far in 2004, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero, and now Chris Benoit have been featured on PPV posters. I have to say, I'm impressed. (Waits for the Bad Blood poster to have Triple H on it, to kill momentum)

Well, people voted for them, so I wasn't a total fool for including them.

"Ya'll representin'?" and Scooby Doo. The edge is gone. I long for the days when John Cena would tell Brock that "he has a nice tattoo of his mother on his back."

I just purchased the awesome new release from Blindside.

No, only because I don't want to see A.P.A. or 2 Cool have that much time on the Pay-per-view. Maybe they should do an eight man tag (WGTT/Bashams vs 2 Cool/APA) where a stipulation is added where whoever scores the pinfall, wins the championship for his team?

So... everyone who missed the show due to the baseball game want to regroup at 11?
