Remember Big Show on the March 2000 SNL? He's always been a favorite of mine. By the way, tons of people hope Show wins Sunday. Cena sucks.

"So if the person is on the creative team of the WWF...they can assign you to be...you're gonna be SISSY BOY...you're gonna be POOPY PANTS, etc." -Conan O'Brien to the Big Show That's how most RAW meetings go, I'm told, between Hunter and Benoit. Idiot said "WWF" too. And called the U.S. Title the "W.E. Belt".

In between WrestleMania 19 and 20... Triple H has wrestled 27 times total on PPV and Raw. That's really pathetic, that in 50 weeks, he's barely wrestling once every 2 weeks. Now, also know that... 11 of these matches were six-man tags or tag matches. None are memorable, and the best was probably the Backlash 6-man with HHH, Y2J, and Flair Vs. Nash,Booker T, and Michaels. And that match wasn't anything special. 16 were singles. Squashed Hurricane and Spike Dudley in a few minutes. A good, but short effort against Flair (from the Flair DVD). 2 decent efforts in 2 weeks against Kane and RVD. Elimination Chamber, where he did nothing. 2 VERY-WELL BUILT, but kinda flat losses to Goldberg. 2 Draws Vs. Michaels. So nearly a year with the World Title...and HHH's top matches are... Vs. Michaels (draw), December. Vs. Michaels (draw), Royal Rumble. Elimination Chamber II, where he did nothing. If HHH/Benoit/Michaels is the LAST MATCH at WM 20, I'll be sick. But I do now realize that if it is, Michaels HAD to be included. Triple H is incapable of having an exciting/decent match without Shawn, anyore. As good as Benoit is, the crowd would shit on the match, just because they're tired of Triple H's shoddy (or lack of) appearences on TV/PPV, and quite frankly, the "Benoit title chase" is worthless with the chase being for Triple H's worthless belt. At least Michaels can add some heat to the match, which I personally believe should be third from the top. God, even Hogan during his "wrestle 2 times a year" stage of the NWO in WCW had a few more memorable moments. Ah, well. Here's the complete list, is anyone was curious. Did any of you guys LIKE any of these specific matches? SINGLES: 9-3-4 Pinned Hurricane. Fought to a no-contest with Booker T. Lost to Kevin Nash by DQ. Pinned Ric Flair. Defeated Shawn Michaels & Ric Flair. Pinned Kevin Nash. Pinned Kane. Pinned Rob Van Dam. Defeated Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Goldberg, and Kevin Nash. Lost to Goldberg. Lost to Goldberg. Fought to a no-contest with Goldberg. Defeated Goldberg and Kane. Fought Shawn Michaels to a draw. Fought Shawn Michaels to a draw. Pinned Spike Dudley. TAGS: 5-5-1 (with Chris Jericho) Lost to Booker T & Michaels. (with Ric Flair) Lost to Booker T & The Hurricane. (with Flair & Jericho) Defeated Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, & Booker T. (with Ric Flair) Lost to Rob Van Dam & Kane. (with Flair & Orton) Defeated Kevin Nash, The Hurricane, & Shawn Michaels. (with Flair & Orton) Defeated Bubba Ray, D-Von, & Spike Dudley. (with Flair & Orton) Lost to Shawn Michaels, Goldberg, & Maven. (with Flair) Fought to a no-contest against Goldberg & Randy Orton. (with Flair & Orton) Defeated Maven, Mark Jindrak, & Garrison Cade. (with Batista & Orton) Defeated Goldberg. (with Flair & Batista) Lost to Shawn Michaels & Rob Van Dam.

Suppose HHH drops the title. HBK/Benoit would be a cool Backlash ME. With HHH as guest referee! I ALWAYS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE!!! HAHAHAHA!!!! No-Contest, of course, after both are Pedigreed. Bret then POPS THE CROWD AND RETURNS IN EDMONTON!!!!! And hugs HHH and reveals Triple H as the "Mastermind" of the Montreal Screwjob, THEY SCREWED SHAWN... Match is restarted and HHH pins both men at the same time to win World Title back. "This-uh, will pop the ratings-uh, dad."

Well, my friends and I are either A)Really smart about the business or B)New to the product (because of me getting them into it). The newbies aren't marks, they like guys like Jericho, La Resistance (because of Rene's dance) and the other hard workers. We enjoy cocky, arrogant people like Orton, Michaels, La Res., etc. Going INTO the show, we'd like the following to happen: -Michaels wins. Guerrero wins. Lesnar wins. La Resistance wins. The 2 on 3 match to be entertaining. Molly shaved. World's Greatest to win. Taker to look cool. Jericho to look cool or Christian to look cool, just have a good match. We'll get... HHH wins, DAMNIT. Pinning Benoit and killing our heat by eliminating Michaels, first. Molly wins. Angle wins with a "handful of tights"/feet on ropes (see: Angle at WM 17, 18...). THE WORLD'S SHITTIEST BORING TEAM of Booker T & RVD retain. Rikishi & Scotty valiantly defend the belts. The problem with guys like HHH is you're suppose to say "Hey! I hate this guy! Ok, ok, he won a few PPV matches...now it's WM and he will finally get his!" Instead, we get "HHH runs the show...maybe he'll lose...but it won't matter in 2 months...HHH RULES HE IS GOD". So who fucking cares about the main event?

You know what's funny? Booker T at this time last year was more over than Benoit is now. (we may collectively admire Benoit's abilities more than T's...but Booker was still more over). We gave Booker a snowball's chance in hell at Mania. What happened? And people give Benoit a chance this year. "Of course he'll win!" I smell Triple H coming out at Continental Airlines Arena, squashing Hurricane in 1 minute, the night after Raw. "I TOLD YOU...I ALWAYS HAVE THE EDGE." Whoa...he sure did use the word "Edge" a lot on RAW last night... Hmmm....

I think they're going to have Trish turn heel and align with Christian at WM XX...the signs are there. -Jericho is primed for a super face run. Having his "little girlfriend" on the sidelines will eventually get annoying, and leech his heat. -Christian needs to go over at WM XX in order for a Y2J/Christian rematch to be setup a Backlash, and to appear to be in Jericho's league. Without a super swerve, the fans won't buy a Christian victory at 'Mania. -Trish's marketing appeal has been slowly fading, and the WWE recently capitalized on her with the Stratus DVD, despite whatever its sales (or lack thereof) were. With that out already, she can turn. -Trish has been shifted out of the face WWE Women's Division girls...and replaced with Victoria as the champ/glamorous face. -Once Trish and Jericho "hook up"...no one will fucking care anymore. What, are they going to show Y2J (the smartass) walking around holding hands and going on picnics with Stratus? PLUS... -Jericho has a knack for cutting devastatingly funny promos on women. "You've got THE GORE...and the WHORE..." "I apologize to all the filthy, dirty, bottom-feeding, trashbag...." "I'm gonna tame that slimy, mangy animal...and I'm gonna get you too, Rhyno!" "So how old are you Steph...34...35?" Imagine Trish being FRESHENED UP as the slut Christian valet and Jericho RIPPING HER. Good idea? Feedback.

On that episode of RAW, ECW Superstar THE SANDMAN distracted Jerry Lawler and Rob Van Dam, allowing The Headbangers to advance in the "Number One Contender's Tag Team Tournament"... Which led to: Austin/???? Vs. Owen/Bulldog. Anyone remember THAT Monday? On Nitro, we had the debut of RAVEN AND didn't Hennig debut...this was a HUGE buildup. Plus the Horsemen kicked Jarrett out of the stable! And Syxx told Jericho "You beat NOTHING until you got back to your hotel that night!" about Jericho taking his Cruiserweight title at a house show. On RAW, we had Austin/DUDE LOVE (!) Vs. Owen/Bulldog and the "secret" of the Undertaker revealed "YOU'RE A MURDERER!" from Paul Bearer. What an awesome night.

Sexy Boy pops a crowd like no other. It's a great song. Michaels didn't even debut this version in 1991, NIMROD. Check your facts, "historian"...hell, he didn't even turn heel and use the "Sherri" version until early January '92. His current version pops a crowd, and reminds us that Michaels is indeed, the BEST worker on Raw. He's one of, if not the, greatest talents of all time. And if anything, his music reminds us that...while also helping to remind people that "look up his age" or bash his hair (which I'm guessing you're probably what, envious of?) and look at his WRESTLING skill. Bischoff's music is quite fitting, as well. The opening cue is very annoying, and casual fans can recognize it easily.

Hey, I actually refereed a Gillberg Vs. Local Jobber match at a South Jersey high school show in early 2000, in which Gillberg "defended" the WWF Light Heavyweight Title. Had the belt and all. Prestige, indeed.

Hog Wild 96 This is an important historical show, as its the first PPV after the NWO started "invading". Crowd sucks. Hall and Nash go over Sting and Luger, and Hogan wins World Title #7 over The Giant in the main event. I like the NWO tag because it was cool to see Hall & Nash (who made their careers huge in WWF) go over two of WCW's darlings, Sting and Lex. THATS HOW YOU DO AN INVASION. Halloween Havoc 96 Historic (I guess) because Piper makes his return to wrestling. Outsiders take the tag belts from Harlem Heat. Savage/Hogan bore us in the ME. Jericho faces Gedo. World War III 96 I think the NWO kicks everyone's ass, and then Luger starts eliminating them 1 by 1 until The Giant (who went NWO) wins it. Hey, at least it was realistic. Nick Patrick Vs. Jericho (one hand tied behind back). Don't recall much else. Spring Stampede 97 Savage (NWO) Vs. DDP. Booker T calls Hogan a nice word. #1 Contender's Match: Booker T Vs. Stevie Ray Vs. Giant Vs. Luger. HAHAHAHA. Slamboree 97 Malenko retains U.S. Title SURPRINGLY against Jarrett. Crowd loves this. Results in Malenko dropping title a week (or next night?) later to him on Nitro, I believe. Doesn't Reggie White face Mongo? Yawn. Nash Vs. Rick Steiner. Oh yeah, Flair, Kevin Greene and someone kick The Wolfpack (the original 3-way clique's) ass. GAB 97 Is Hogan STILL world champ? Jesus, he never defended it. Don't know/care. Road Wild 97 Jericho jobs to Alex Wright. Fuck you, WCW. Fall Brawl 97 Two GOOD, LONG openers. Jericho/Eddie and Alex Wright/Ultimo. Horsemen jobs to NWO B-Team + Nash. Souled Out 98 Good TV Title stuff. Jericho begins AWESOME HEEL RUN OF 1998, by defeating already-injured Rey Mysterio. Superbrawl VIII Booker T CONTINUES HIS AWESOME (1st half) of 1998, beats Saturn and Martel. Goldberg crushes Brad Armstrong. Jericho forces JUVENTUD to unmask. Spring Stampede 98 Jericho crushes Prince Nakamaki. Saturn/Goldberg DOESN'T SUCK. Sting's title reign ends in 2 months....after fucking 2 years of buildup. Bash at Beach 98 REALLY, REALLY FUN/GOOD Mortis/Wrath Vs. Cat/Glacier match. SERIOUSLY! It's a HOT crowd and a GOOD match. Jericho/Ultimo is pretty good. Steiners beat shitty Muta and shitty Chono.

R.I.P. Dallas Cowboys Exposed as too much of a lousy offense, with an inaccurate quarterback and just awful running back. Good head coaching took you far, but the healthy Panthers killed you. R.I.P. Baltimore Ravens This death occured at home, which is never pretty. It came out of nowhere, and the accused is a 78 year old man who kicks field goals. Thank your head coach for wasting his time writing out a daily itinerary up until Super Bowl day, instead of writing plays that would get you a single win. More bodies to come...

See, Hurricane with the U.S. title = money. Good stuff, so far. I bet we could do a neat little "brand split" promotion with two different threads, given our fondness for doing these things. Nice work, so far.

So Eric Bischoff, now sole owner of WWE, decides to have a one-night tourney on RAW with the newly realligned Brands for one champion. All wrestlers are updated to their current looks, moves, etc...as of middle Nov. 2003. Brackets: "x" indicating who I chose to wrestle as in the match...difficulty on Expert level. HHH Goldberg-x Batista-x Michaels Steiner E.Guerrero-x Undertaker Kane-x Cena-x Christian Lesnar-x A-Train Angle-x Tajiri Benoit-x Orton Show just begun...

Jericho is finally to his feet, having just been humiliated, beaten, and bloodied. He just saw the video of Evolution gloating. The fans are applauding Jericho and his efforts. As Jericho attempts to exit the ring, with the help of the WWE medical staff.... *THE MUSIC OF BROCK LESNAR HITS* The challenge for the WWE Title makes his way to the ring, and the crowd boo's him ridiculously. Lesnar walks to the ring with purpose. Fink: The Following Contest, is Scheduled for ONE FALL...and is for the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP. On his way to the ring, the challenge... Lesnar jumps onto the apron as fireworks explode...Jericho is in the ring, his face still a bloody mess. Fink: From Minneapolis, Minnesota....Brock LESNAR! Lesnar flexes and grabs the microphone. Lesnar: "Excuse me...excuse me...look, I'm not quite sure what your name is, kid, but I'm BROCK LESNAR. The next WWE Champion. The best athlete in the history of this sport. The future of the business. Maybe you've heard of me." Jericho grabs the icrophone... "Brock...huff...Brock...look...you're....huff....right...I know who you are. College champ...great athlete...and...huff...boring...huff...bland...huff...pale...huff...gorilla... Lesnar floors Jericho with a VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE! Lesnar grabs Jericho and kicks him, then delivers an F-5!!!! Lesnar: "Look at this! THAT?!? THAT is what you put in front of me to wrestle!?!? Children? Ants!?! 2 seconds! It took 2 seconds...It took... GOLDBERG'S MUSIC HITS AS THE FANS CHEER! Fink: And his opponent...weighing 275 pounds..from Atlanta, GA...he IS the WWE World Champion...GOLDBERG! Goldberg rushes to the ring, throwing the title down on the rapway! And this match is on! WWE World Title Match: Goldberg © Vs. Brock Lesnar Goldberg with rights and lefts! Lesnar is staggered, but delivers a knee to his sternum! Goldberg kicks back, and throws Lesnar to the floor! Goldberg chases him out, and slams his face into the announcer's table! And again! Goldberg grabs Lesnar and presses hi overhead with a GORILLA PRESS...my God! He throws Lesnar into the Spanish Announce Table and it explodes upon impact! Lesnar is bleeding from the left arm, and in a lot of pain. Jericho was finally taken to the back on a stretcher. Goldberg stands in the ring, dominant, as the referee begins his count. Lesnar reaches the ring at 9 and slides in. Goldberg stomps his left arm repeatedly. Berg off the ropes...and drops a knee on his shoulder! An armbar keeps Lesnar on the mat... Back up, Goldberg backs Lesnar into the corner...shoulderblock...and another...but Lesnar gets the knee up on the third attempt! Lesnar SNAPS! OVERHEAD BELLYTO BELLY SUPLEX on Goldberg! And a clothesline! Lesnar wipes the blood on his arm into his face! Lesnar kicks Goldberg in the mid-section three times, then takes him to the mat with the bearhug, working on Goldberg's ribs. After 2 minutes, they're finally to their feet. Goldberg fights free of the bearhug, but his ribs are in pain. Lesnar executed a German Suplex and releases it! Lesnar is in control! Lesnar drives his knee right into the throat of Goldberg until the referee pulls him off. Front suplex by Lesnar, who then continues stoping Goldberg's ribs. Lesnar slides to the floor and grabs the WWE Title belt...he is adonished by the referee, who takes it from him! While putting the title back, Lesnar blatantly kicks Goldberg low and DDTs him! Off the ropes, an elbowdrop on the WWE Champion! As the bout continues, Goldberg regains the momentum, leveling Lesnar in the side of the head with a stiff kick! Goldberg sets up for the spear and CHARGES!!!! But Lesnar moves...Goldberg, however, put on the breaks for once!!! He attempts a kick at Lesnar, but Brock ducks, and the referee is kicked in the face! That looked like it may have seriously killed him! Lesnar kicks Goldberg....AND DELIVERS THE F-5!!!! Lesnar is celebrating, but the referee is on the floor, and hurt, badly. Lesnar points to the top rope. No, no, no way....he...could he be attempting the Shooting Star Press?!?!?!? Lesnar climbs up, with Goldberg in perfect position....HE EXECUTED THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!! But he missed!!!! Goldberg moved out of the way as Brock clutches his ribs!!! Goldberg from the corner....SPEAR!!! SPEAR!! SPEAR!!! He's calling for The Jackhammer!!! Bischoff runs to the ring and attempts to wake up the referee, who is knocked out...Bischoff gets on the ring apron, but Goldberg knocks hi to the floor with a right hand. Lesnar gets to his feet and Goldberg kicks him...he has him up....GOLDBERG CONNECTS WITH THE JACKHAMMER!!! Another referee slides into the ring... 1......2......But Bischoff pulls the referee out! Damnit! This event has reeked out Bischoff's stink for the past 20 minutes! Someone needs to... *******GLASS SHATTTERS******** My God, what the hell is Stone Cold Steve Austin doing at THE ROYAL RUMBLE?!?!?! Is he even under contract! It's Austin heading to the ring and sliding in, he clotheslines Brock Lesnar, who was barely back standing. Bischoff slides in and gets in Austin's face....KICK!!! BAM!!! STONE COLD STUNNER!!!! And the WWE Owner goes flying to the floor! Austin encourages Goldberg to finish off Brock....Goldberg sets up for a spear....but clotheslines Austin to the mat!

Bischoff slides into the ring, holding his face, and hugs Lesnar. Lesnar holds the title up, as Goldberg lays on the mat, defeated. MAH GAWD WE'RE OUT OF TIME WHAT AN EVENT!!!!

...And the Rumble concludes!*** Benoit and Jericho stare each other down, but retreat to neutral corners. Michaels and Triple H go face-to-face, and Triple H extends a hand. Michaels laughs. Triple H points at Jericho and Benoit, and tells Shawn they need to work together. Michaels laughs again, but then considers using Triple H to gain the advantage. Michaels slaps Triple H's hand, and Hunter goes to attack Benoit... And Michaels BLASTS Triple H with a Superkick from behind to a massive pop! Benoit then sneaks up behind Jericho and pulls him down, applying the Crippler Crossface, but Jericho rolls through it and gets to his feet! Michaels launches a superkick at Jericho, but he ducks and Benoit gets plastered by it! Jericho with a low-blow on Michaels...and he tosses him over the top rope! Michaels has held on, and skins the cat, pulling himself upside down and back into the ring. Jericho dugs a Michaels clothesline and grabs his legs...The Walls of Jericho is applied! He's got it locked in, and Michaels...is...tapping! Benoit chops Triple H repeatedly in the corner. Irish whip, but HHH reverses and sends Benoit into the corner. Triple H runs in, but Benoit comes CHARGING out with a HARD clothesline! Benoit signals the "throat slash" and heads to the top rope for the headbutt! Jericho releases the Walls of Jericho and shakes the ropes. Benoit falls, crotched on the top turnbuckle! Jericho climbs to the top rope and executed a super-frankensteiner or Benoit! The crowd is chanting "HOLY SHIT!" Triple H is back up and kicks Jericho....PEDIGREE!!! Jericho is down and out. Trips picks up Benoit and tries to eliminate him, to no success. Michaels is on his feet and leaps towards Triple H...but The Game ducks and Michaels crashes into Benoit, ELIMINATING HIM! Michaels punches Triple H repeatedly and tries, using every last breath, to lift him up. Hunter won't go over, however. Jericho is stirring, and bleeding from the forehead. Triple H kicks Benoit and then executes a DDT! All 3 men lay hurt. Jericho is the first man to his feet...runs off the ropes...and hits the LIONSAULT on Michaels...but HBK got the knees up!

Jericho gets to his feets, using the ropes for leverage to help himself. ichaels with the superkick, but Jericho collapses fro exhaustion! Michaels catches his leg over the rope, groin-first, and is teetering on the top! Jericho uses every ounce of strength and gets to his feet, wobbily, Jericho dumps Michaels off of the top rope and to the floor!! It's over! It's over! It's over! The crowd pops wildly for Jericho, who is on his knees and exhausted. Blood is covering his face...but one fact remains...he'll battle the WWE World Champion at WrestleMania XX!!!!! Fireworks go off for Jericho, as a failiar theme is heard... "I'M BA-ACK....AND BETTER THAN EVER...." Eric Bischoff is making his way to the ring, to a loud chorus of boos. Bischoff applauds (?) Jericho and raises his hand. Jericho can barely stand. Bischoff said with that kind of courage, he'll make sure Jericho's road to WrestleMania is as easy is possible...starting...RIGHT NOW. Bischoff kicks Jericho down low and the Canadian superstar falls to the ground. "YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU'LL EVEN MAKE IT TO WRESTLEMANIA?" Bischoff is enraged. "You pathetic piss ant. You walk OUT on me, back in WCW, and cripple my company!! You want to rant about how much you hated me then? How the WWE gave you an "oppurtunity"? I've got an oppurtunity for you, you loud-mouthed, cruiserweight, Canadian piece of crap...an oppurtunity for ME to gain revenge on you...BY RUINING YOUR CAREER...just like you ruined mine by leaving MY COMPANY five years ago." Bischoff kicks Jericho right in the face. Jericho can barely move. Bischoff lays on the mat, with his microphone and voice directly in Jericho's face. "WCW...The NWO...the money...the women...the power....the WWE...None of it matters! I swear to you, if its with my last dying breath, you son of a bitch...I'll see to it that you'll DIE before you ever get NEAR the WWE Title. When Eric Bischoff is gone, the fans of the future will remember me for taking vengeance on any man who backstabbed me years ago...starting with you. You understand me, CHRIS? DO YOU? YOU WILL NEVER BE THE WWE CHAMPION. I swear to you...NEVER." Bischoff flips Jericho off and leaves the ring...but then says one more thing... "Oh yeah...Chris...seeing as how you and these fans seem to be getting along so well, I'm sure, that by tomorrow on RAW, if you're able to walk, haha, you'll have no problem wrestling for them. So it'll be Triple H, Batista, and Shane Helms...against YOU...tomorrow on RAW. And, ah...by the way...your WrestleMania title shot is on the line, against whoever decides to pin you first. Have a great night, Chris." "I'M BA-ACK...." The announcers are disgusted at Bischoff's actions...and the crowd is just shocked. EMTs are helping Jericho to his feet, as the fans applaud. Backstage, Evolution is in their locker room. Helms has his U.S. Title across his waste, and two women on each of his side. Batista and Orton walk in to congratulate Triple H on the new for tomorrow. Eric Bischoff walks into the room and shakes hands with Triple H. Bischoff: "There you go, Hunter. Tomorrow night, you, and your guys are running the show. Get rid of him, no matter what it takes. Get your title shot. We all know you're the best in the business. Who better to main event the greatest show of all-time?" Hunter: "You're damn right, Eric. Tomorrow, Jericho learns what we've always known. HE CAN'T BEAT ME. He never has, he never will, and tomorrow, for the 300th or so time, history repeats itself. Tomorrow, history's name...IS...THE...GAME..." <PROMO> The Road to WrestleMania has begun. For some, there is no tomorrow. For some, there is no remorse. And for those who have to settle the score, once and for all....there is... NO WAY OUT. LIVE, February 22nd, ONLY in this thread. <promo>

My apologies to all those waiting! I went on vacation for a week and now I'm back! TONIGHT, right around the end of Smackdown! (Thurs. night) you'll get the END of the Rumble, the WWE World Title bout, and a *BIG* preview for the upcoming RAW, and the next PPV spectacular (which I'll resue y hectic typing schedule to MAKE SURE is on time), WWE No Way Out! There's a lotta cool shit in store! So check it out, all those who enjoy a quality show. Later!

God, do you people stop bitching about ANYTHING? The Jericho VHS is "crap" ??!?!? WHAT?!?!?! It's got his COMPLETE debut. It's got his title win (a lot of it) over Triple H from Raw, which is amazing. It's got a lot (all the spots) from his last man standing match with Triple H. It's got his IC title victories. It's a look at his house, his wrestling collection, all kinds of stuff. There's tons of his funny promos, on Angle, HHH, Steph, etc. It's a VERY solid video, even if its "fluff"...its a HELLUVA lot more wrestling historical stuff than fluff. For like $9.99. As for Cena, that's awesome he's getting a DVD. The other guys will get DVDs, so stop bitching. They need to take advantages of Cena's recent star power and try to market him NOW on DVD....guys like Jericho, Benoit, and Angle have been stars forever, and their drawing power has reained consistent. They need to get Cena there! Perhaps if we went to college and didn't spend 23 1/2 hours bitching about "WHY IS BENOIT ON RAW?" and "CENA GETS A DVD!!!!! WHERE'S MY BEST OF ANGLE DVD?!?! WAHHH!!" we'd understand the principles of marketing.

Bret Hart was the WWF World, I-C, and Tag Champion. He was the World, U.S., and Tag Champ in WCW. So there ! Ric Flair is an I-C Title away. (if we're counting NWA...and of course we should be) The Big Show is an I-C Title away. (If we're counting the WWE U.S. Title as "the U.S. Title"...and we SHOULDN'T...) The fact that you people think Benoit would ever hold the World Title anyway in WWE makes me laugh. *cough* Triple H dominates Booker T, former WCW great, in the undercard World Title match at WM 19, while Brock's title match is in main event...*cough* History has a strange way of repeating itself.

This is a strange question to answer, mainly because there wasn't really a "reason" it was called just WrestleMania. The WWE was riding 1999's ridiculous ratings bonanza, and even with Steve Austin on the shelf, they ended '99 heading up, with a GREAT Rumble, GREAT No Way Out, the Rock hosting SNL (and doing a great job, with Vince, Foley, Show, HHH as well) and the WWE pulling in huge numbers. Perhaps it was referred to without numerals, and sometimes as "2000" to appeal to a more general audience. With all the new wrestling fans (and there were TONS), it made WM seem fresher to them, instead of being constantly being reminded that there were 15 previous ones. Keep in mind WM: All Day Long aired from noon to showtime, so it made the WM experience see like a huge thing for new fans. I guess they use numerals now for recap purposes, to avoid confusion. Check the Raw/Smackdown magazines with the posters, they use the original logos for each event. I'm sure the logo theyll use is "WrestleMania 2000". Later.

My thoughts exactly. I'll be very happy if Benoit doesn't go to the shitty show that is RAW and it all blows up in the "hot newz!" posting faces of all the Benoit to RAW marks on here. A-Train to RAW! Shannon Moore to HeAT! Let's start a billion threads! Yayyyy..... YALL A BUNCH OF QUEEFS!

So Roenick, last week, snapped at the refs after getting busted open, tossing sticks and water bottles all over the ice. He was ejected. He commented "they're blind" etc....I had blood all over me...I was bleeding like a stuck pig. 1 Game suspension. He then comments "the nhl comissioner doesnt realize that NHL merged with the WWE. Now we cut ourselves open with razor blades to draw blood so that we can get (penalty) calls. He throws suspensions around like the lies he threw around at the collective bargaining agreement". HOLY SHIT. So he came back last night, on his birthday. And after leaving his feet to check Mats Sundin, he MISSED, colliding with teammate Eric Desjardins, and BREAKING ERIC's ARM, out 6-8 weeks. If he unraveling before our eyes? I met JR Hockey at a bar last year, before the Eagles/Falcons playoff game. REALLY nice guy, took pictures with EVERYONE, signed autographs, hung out, talked. As a Flyers fan, I wanted to see the team get some personality. But not this way.

I've got Steve Corino's theme that Slash produced. The one that sounds like "Come With Me", that he used in 2000. You can e-mail me if you really want it and I'll send it. [email protected] Didn't Slash release a 4-track CD with a bunch of rare ECW themes in 2000? Mike Awesome's "AWESOMEBOMB" Eliminator's production theme "Total Elimination" The new ECW TNN theme and one other... I have those 3, too. "Awesomebomb" is so great. But "Come Out and Play" remains my all-time favorite. Kimona and Beulah laying around like a slut...Raven sits in the corner...Meanie & Stevie being idiots...those were the days.

Well, Chono won the tournament in Japan, defeating Rude. Rude and Chono had an awful HHavoc 92 match for it. Windham defeated Chono for the title, still called the NWA World Title. Flair defeated Windham for the title. During Flair's reign, I believe, or just after Rude won the title, it was renamed, due to the end of NWA/WCW relationship. I don't recall ever seeing the Board, I'm sure I could have missed it, tho. I believe Hiroshi Hasa also had a brief run with the belt (during Sting's reign) that was never acknowledged on WCW TV. I don't credit CHONO through STING (the lineage of the NWA/WCW/International title) as being "World" title reigns. Rick Rude was NEVER a World Champ. Nor was Barry Windham. Nor was Hase. I don't count the title reigns for Sting or Flair as "World Title" reigns. That's just me though. Flair shouldn't either. That gold belt reprented nothing. NWA's "World" title status died when WCW became official, in '91.

Phrase: "Hogan may catch lightning in a bottle and win the Undisputed Title tonight from Triple H!" Translation: He better pop this crowd, because the undercard consisted of Al Snow & Maven Vs. Billy & Chuck, as well as Bradshaw Vs. Scott Hall. "Rhyno comes from the hardcore environment of ECW!" Translation: His untalented fat ass got "hype" because he got to piledrive Spike Dudley through tables each week. See: Awesome, Mike. "Triple H, the best athlete in this business..." Translation: "This Business" consists of three wrestlers: Triple H, New Jack, and Mike Enos. "InVasion, fans..the pay-per-view you thought you'd never see! WCW invades the WWF!" Translation: Shawn Stasiak, Lance Storm, and Hugh Morrus lead an all-star lineup, consisting of WWF "turncoats" to battle the WWF. Yay. "Yo it's the Mack Militant...Comin' to Get it on"... Translation: CHANGE THE FUCKING CHANNEL...NOW!!!
