He should ditch the Ultimo Dragon/Hayabusa/lame mask getup...

I watch Judgment Day 2001 all the time. Regal/Rikishi has no place on a PPV, as both suck. Lita/Chyna was god-awful. Chyna kept nippling out. The 3-way Hardcore Match was god-awful. Benoit/Angle...mixed feelings. it was pretty damn good and exciting. But its a 2/3 falls match and Benoit wins the first fall in like 2 MINUTES! Are you kidding me? The ending to this match also SUCKS, as E & C simply hold Benoit out of the ring as Angle climbs the ladder and wins. Plus the premise for the match is LAME: "you stole my medels!" Call the cops, pussy. Overrated match/premise. Kane/HHH sucks. Sorry. Taker/Austin is BORING and they MISS THE FINISH OF AUSTIN PINNING TAKER. COME ON. The only redeemable thing is the tag team turmoil. But the decent team of Malenko/Saturn is dispatched of by the slow APA. Then we get the Dudleys brawling with the APA. Then X-Factor (who I thought had potential) getting rid of the APA and Hardyz. Jericho/Benoit v. X-Factor, and then E & C were good matches! I can't believe that show is getting praise. Backlash, which was pretty shitty, was even better overall.

Quote: ***At least the Raw title has always had more contenders while smd was generally Show/Angle/Lesnar/Taker for 18 months before Eddy and Bradshaw entered the picture...*** Show/Angle/Lesnar/Taker put up the following matches: Show/Angle/Lesnar at Vengeance 03 Angle/Lesnar at WM Angle/Lesnar Iron Man Angle/Lesnar at SummerSlam Lesnar/Taker at No Mercy 02 Taker/Angle Smackdown match THAT is just until late 2003. From Sept 02...let's count the good Raw world title matches... Cant think of any in 2002. Flair/HHH in May 03 was decent for 5 minutes. HBK/HHH in December 03. I'll take "those 4 on Smackdown" (including the frickin Big Show who had the best year of his career) over HHH/Goldberg Vs. Unproven Jobber League of America (RVD, Booker, Mark Henry, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Christian) and their shitty matches anytime!

The RAW World Title, the big gold belt, HAS NO TIES TO TO THE WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE. World Championship Wrestling was stripped of any notoriety on WWE program following the loss at Survivor Series 2001. Current WCW World Champiopn, The Rock, now held a title that was refused to be listed as the WCW title. It was referred to as "THE WORLD TITLE", the SAME FUCKING BELT THAT BENOIT HOLDS. Post Survivor Series 01, anything having to do with WCW became null and void. Thus, the title became a World Title representing NO COMPANY. Until Vengeance, it united with the stronger title of the two, the WWE Heavyweight Title. The World Championship is Raw's premier title. The Rock is the first ever World Champion. Chris Jericho is the second ever World Champion. During Jericho's reign, the World Championship was absorbed into a stronger championship, until Lesnar's jump to Smackdown! seperated the WWE/World Titles again. Triple H is the third ever World Champion. HBK 4th, HHH 5th, Goldberg 6th, HHH 7th, and Benoit is the current and 8th World Heavyweight Champion of the WWE.

You guys are nuts. The WCW U.S. Title has no lineage with the WWE U.S. Title. They're two seperate championships. They advertised previous WCW U.S. Champions to show the importance of a secondary title for Smackdown! Eddie Guerrero has held two different U.S. titles. He is a two time U.S. Champion. Just not two reigns of the same company.

CHRIS BENOIT WAS NEVER THE WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. Storyline wise: Benoit "won" the title by defeating Sid Vicious via submission. Special referee Arn Anderson immediately, upon viewing the footage, stripped Benoit of the title. He said the decision should have never been rendered. It's not like Benoit had a reign and then was stripped due to actions, winning another title, whatever. Storyline-wise, Anderson said the decision should never have taken place. Thus, the PWI Almanac and various websites should have the following for the ME of Souled Out '00: "Chris Benoit defeated Sid Vicious by submission to win the vacant WCW World Title. Special referee Arn Anderson reversed the decision due to an illegal submission, however, nullifying the title win. The title remained vacated". Just my take on it. Benoit's WM XX victory is his 1st World Title.

Czech Republic, how quick you are to write off the much more playoff-experienced Flyers team against say, Tampa Bay. I want so badly to say "Tampa's a fluke", "Tampa is a joke", but honestly, they've looked AWESOME this playoff series. I just don't think they'll match up with an equally hot Flyers team, should Philly advance. Keep in mind, Tampa's played Islanders and Canadiens....two team nowhere near the level of Philly/Toronto.

Blink and you miss the Leafs score...

Flyers have destroyed the Leafs in the opening period of Game 5.

Smackdown! doesn't deserve the torture that is a Scott Steiner match. Even if Bradshaw IS a main eventer.

Actually, I want sexy, skinny Stephanie accompanying Evolution, and not being a mouthpiece. But she's far from skinny and sexy now. So I dunno if itd work.

The Rock held the WCW World Title and either the WCW or WWE tag straps with Jericho I believe.

Headhunters made their WWE debut at the Royal Rumble in...uh...95 or 96....96, I believe.

My mistake. Rocco Rock did NOT make his wrestling debut for WCW at the 1990 Starrcade in that ridiculous tag tournament as the evil South African, Col. DeClerk. He and his partner actually wrestled the "finals of the South Africa tournament" to qualify for the PPV at the Clash of the Champions before Starrcade.

I was there front row, as well, a few seats down from him. Worst. WrestleMania. Ever.

Ken Shamrock's *official* first WWE match was during 1997's In Your House in May, I believe. Tho he wrestled an "exhibition" against preliminary scrub Vernon White on Raw the week before. To be technical... "the nWo Sting" made his wrestling debut at Fall Brawl 1996. I know he was the Cobra, but the gimmick/new entity debuted in the ring there. Oh yeah! Curt Hennig made his WCW wrestling debut in 1997 at Bach at the Beach, tagging with DDP against Hall and Savage. Rocco Rock made his WCW wrestling debut at the 1990 Starrcade. Sgt. DeClerk, I believe. Wasn't Fred Ottman's wrestling debut in WCW (as Shockmaster) at the 1993 WarGames? And Gorgeous George (the valet)'s WCW debut occurred at the 1999 Slamboree. Same with Little Naitch. Undertaker at the 1990 Survivor Series...dunno if that got said.

Question, can someone give me the exact quote Jericho used when describing both Stephanie (2000) and Trish (2004) The "Filthy, Dirty, Skanky, Trash Bag" line...all the words. Thanks. Also, just noticed Eddie and HORSHU facing off on Smackdown! tonite. One month from now... Angle: "Okay Eddie, you may have cheated your way past Bradshaw...but at the Great American Bash, I'll personally be the referee of the title match with your next challenger.... HORSHU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Here's hoping they change "Luther"'s name by June!)

Tawren, look at 2002-2003. It's a start

The match is listed in the WWF/W/WWE Raw Tag Titles section. If you're thinking it wasn't written up on a PPV card, it wasn't. It took place on WWF Raw the night after the '99 Royal Rumble.

Holy shit, how'd you guys miss THIS? Brock Lesnar's WWE wrestling debut = Backlash 2002 PPV. Jerry Lynn's WWE debut was on MONDAY NIGHT RAW in the summer of 1997, against TAKA Michinoku. Sorry folks.

Yes, they used to be written poorly. Right now, I think WWE is being written well. Benoit's title reign works. Michaels has become an entertaining player for the past year. Evolution are very entertaining. Foley/Orton was good. Christian's become a player, Trish became fresh. Jericho's done a successful face turn. We've said goodbye to useless talent like Austin (not a writing decision, but he was slowly being fazed out), Goldberg, Nash, etc. On Smackdown, well the show sucks. It's still written decently, for some parts. Booker T has been given a new direction. RVD may flourish, if he has suitable workers to have matches with. They brought back Taker, which I believe will slowly lose elements remaining of the Biker character. Bradshaw's storyline, well...he sucks in the ring, but plays a decent corporate heel. Match quality is different than story telling. For instance, Cena Vs. Dupree has been decently built. Both characters strong points are emphasized. New stars made. Will the match hit ****? Most likely not a chance. But it has a decent build. Smackdown! overall just reeks of overused, lame characters. However, their angles aren't awful. So Big Show killed Angle. So what? That's what happened. Show is gone, and as long as they explain it that he'd fired/suspended/arrested/whatever, it's coherent. Kurt Angle fucking sucks anyway as a heel "GM", and sucks as a face, for that matter. So get Angle off TV.

The Owen/JJ over Bossman/Shamrock result is correct, BTW...whatre you talkin about?

For the SummerSlam 2003 Results: WWE Smackdown Champion Kurt Angle pinned Brock Lesnar. Wrong, Lesnar tapped out. His first time, actually.

WWE was just written extremely badly at that point. They were attempting "Shock TV" instead of focusing on the in-ring talent like they are now.

Fuck Inoki. Trying to actually put his promotion in the same league as WWE with a blatantly not-going-to-be-answered challenge. Bush league.
