Way to build up tonight's World Title Challenger by showing him crying from a loss in the hype video. Interesting Trivia: The Miz has been in TWO matches this year where the winner gets a World Title Match. CM Punk beat him but The Undertaker was not able to. Why the FUCK was that 8 year old CM Punk mark wearing fraternity letters?

Agreed. Goldberg has wrestled in bigger matches and gotten bigger ovations and drawn bigger crowds than the entire WWE roster of the past 6 years, save for a few guys (Austin, Rock, I don't think Taker's ever had a huge event built around him that was a financial success, Triple H might be included on this). To call him overrated is silly. His initial push up to the nuclear heated (crowd and ratings-wise) win over Hogan was probably the best run for a "new guy" ever booked. The amount of Goldberg t-shirts, NASCAR cars, Monster Trucks, toys, and other merch. trump anything that Cena will ever sell, because the people that actually have MONEY were the ones getting Goldberg gear, not asking mommy for it. Goldberg/Austin had to be the most talked about "dream match" in the history of wrestling, and at the peak of pro wrestling in 1998, it would have drawn more money than a proper Hogan/Flair Mania/Starrcade match ever would have. Even the Austin diehard/smarks were like "Fuck. This Goldberg guy isn't the best wrestler, but he'd murder Austin."

The 1995 Arena fan in me cries seeing Stevie and Dreamer teaming up. Against these two heatless "heels", no less.

CM Punk looks like "a teenaged Blink 182 fan who cries himself to sleep at night because he can't sneak in backstage". HA. Just like his poser fans.

I think Balls is Kelly Kelly's brother. Why can't TNA do this with a one-hour show? Decent length of matches for the mid-card, slow builds, and eventual pay-offs. Might it be because a retarded ape is running the show? Or that they have 75 roster members for 44 minutes a week? Or because the ex-WCW/WWE castaways are too fat, slow, or plodding to do anything but promos? Who knows!

"THINGS ARE LOOKING UP" Obviously a reference to a jobber looking up at the lights. The son is The Brooklyn Brawler. Or John Morrison.

"It totally sucks that there was no heat whatsoever for Kennedy's appearance and subsquent announcement." I think Kennedy is awful, but are you high? The place went NUTS when "...Kennedy!" hit and interrupted Vince.

Holy crap, two updates in 2 days! Mickie re-takes the Women's lead, Jeff Hardy takes the overall men's lead.

Why is WWE making shirts with the Green Goblin spray painted gold on them?

The last 3 guys to win a "World Title" in WWE wouldn't have made it past the TV Title level if this was 1997 and wrestling was still good/interesting/popular/made sense.

"He should've ended it with money money yea yea." Copyrighted by WWE.

Sweet Christmas that's incredible news. I wonder when will be the next time "Hoss" is said on TV.

I think the whole "LOOK UP" clue will bother Vince throughout next week's Raw, ending in him looking up at the end and Triple H dropping poop/green paint on him and saying "SORRY....DAD!" followed by a crotch chop.

And we are updated through September! Looks like a four-way race between CM Punk, John Cena and The Hardy Boyz that will come down to the end!

An attorney stating he can "give you a clue" is so hokey that I love it. While on the subject, Stephanie's appearence last week gave me a raging clue. Damn, girl! tm Black Lushus. Shawn Michaels is the son. He looks up to the heavens during every entrance. Expect wacky DX HIJINX.

Will this Raw go down in history as the equivalent to the NFL's famous "House of Pain"/"Bodybag" games?

Carlito dropping the hair in a Hair Match would've been an attractive undercard PPV draw. What an interesting predicament this haircut must have been: I can save my job/avoid suspension by cutting my hair. But by cutting my hair I will get major heat with the office and get back on the shitlist.

Based on the look of that haircut, I think my theory holds a ton of water.

Phillies better man up and take care of Atlanta. Their pitching against Florida was disgusting.

That would imply they are actually trying to incriminate the wrestlers. At least urine/blood makes it look like they're trying to the public. Urine/blood can easily be faked. I suspect Carlito got a letter to report back with a urinalysis/hair result within 48 hours from a local testing facility, and was advised to trim the hair. That or he voluntarily sacrificed his whole look to save what is arguably his biggest program (Triple H) in his career.

Cryme Tyme, while at times kinda sloppy, was energetic and used actual, gasp, tag team maneuevers in their matches. Their "let's start the bidding!" thing, to me, was corny and lame, however. London and Kendrick, who are god damn talented, are stuck with useless Cody Rhodes (London didn't even get tagged in on the Raw six-man!) and losing to the World's Most Unover Tag Team (sorry, it's not 2003), so I wouldn't expect much. Given WWE booking, I'd expect the next tag team title challengers to be Cody Rhodes and Ron Simmons. With Cade & Murdoch defeating London and Kendrick in 2:21 the Raw before the PPV.

Hair testing can trace anywhere from 3 to 20 times the length of a usual drug's half-life in the body. Cutting it short can help eliminate the samples. A lot of people were speculating this is why Britney Spears shaved her head, with K-Fed requesting she be drug tested during their court battles. Example: Marijuana and THC's half-life in the body is 14-30 days, depending on weight, lifestyle, type of marijuana, etc. Hair testing can detect marijuana up to 90 days.

Rowand ain't going anywhere. Billions of Philadelphia house-wives and teenage girls would FLIP. Plus, all the guys would be pissed 'cause he's a great player. Methinks the Phillies won't be cheap in the offseason and show him the money, along with Howard.

This thread is all about Sports Mascots. It can be fun or die a quick death. YOU decide! I thought of this after seeing the nominees for the College Sports Mascots Hall of Fame on an ESPN Show the other day.
