Pre/Post-Show Comments and Witty Remarks Wanted. Tonight: Semi-Final Match: Edge Vs. Shawn Michaels Semi-Final Match: Kane (with Lita) Vs. Chris Benoit What would you prefer? * Kane Vs. Edge final with Lita sub-plot? * Benoit Vs. Edge rematch? * Face Michaels Vs. Face Kane "David Vs. Goliath" match? * Benoit Vs. Michaels? (my prediction) _________________________________ Official Preview: wwe.com The pressure will be on as the remaining Gold Rush Tournament contenders battle while only two wins away from facing Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge will face Shawn Michaels as a bitter rivalry is renewed. Who can forget their brawl all around an arena on RAW or their match at Royal Rumble. Both men are on impressive win streaks, but one will have to end short of being the No. 1 Contender. Edge has already indicated that he’ll leave it all in the ring because he sees this tournament as the key to his first world championship reign. It his words, to have two guaranteed World Heavyweight Championship opportunities would be “money in the bank.” Can HBK tune up the band and turn away Edge? Tune in Monday night to find out. In the other huge semifinal, The Rabid Wolverine will try to rip into The Big Red Monster. With drastically different approaches to a match, the winner will likely be the Superstar who dictates the pace and style. If Kane can apply brute force, he’ll likely advance; if Chris Benoit can cut Kane down and apply his crippling submission arsenal, he should be one step closer to his second World Heavyweight Championship. And we’re sure to hear from Triple H, who was disgusted with Batista for his role in The Game’s match last Monday. Where does Evolution go from here? Watch Monday Night RAW (9/8 CT; Spike TV) to find out.

Wow didn't see you coming a mile away to defend your only friend.

I go with Pope Catzinger so far, it made me laugh.

Here's an odd note: The Backlash 2005 DVD has a DVD-Only extra called "Lita & Edge backstage".

The main characters of the show were: A Carribean guy A masked Mexican A confusing, sneaky Mexican A jealous, cruiserweight Mexican Two Hollywood A-List partiers In real life, all these people would be getting drunk on May 5th. So any fans they attracted would be doing the same.

They also claim Chris Benoit won the World Heavyweight Title by making Triple H tap out at WrestleMania 9. In the headlines section.

Wow! Are you trying to tell me that Zenk didn't really win (insert ridiculous Goldberg-like number that would change by like 20 with every show) matches in a row in 1990 during his "winning streak" that led to the TV Title? This is disturbing!

HHH/Taker wasn't the plan. Flair did announce the match, but it was a storyline that Taker got "shafted" of his title shot. McMahon pointed out that Flair had no right to name the main event, due to the original draft's Coin Flip giving McMahon (Smackdown Owner) the first main event (which was Backlash).

Smackdown! has been added into the list. There it is. Every televised match this year leads to the 2005 Wins Standings. Who do you guys think will finish with the most wins come Dec. 31st?

Well, for some people who are released, such as Molly or Rhyno, they are taken off the list for 2 reasons: 1) To focus on the records of actual wrestlers on TV 2) It wouldn't be fair to compare a record of say, a wrestler who went 7-3 and was fired to a wrestler who was 19-24 for the year, for instance. ________________ If say, Christian and Regal were to go to Smackdown!, it'd be a weird situation. Perhaps this list will be made into one big "Smackdown/Raw" TV Win-Loss Records List by then. As long as the thread title can be changed, or this old one deleted at the draft, I'll thrown the new one up.

I added all the 1993 stuff. Thank you. Still a work in progress, but there's a lot there. Uploading that page in a few.

Updated for Heat. Technically speaking I think Heart Throbs over Tajiri/Regal would be the upset of the year. Two winless guys defeating the #2 and #4 (at the time) winners.

Sid Vs. Steamboat in a 35-minute match on 10-15-93. This has to be seen. Sid was even more awful than usual during his brief 93 run.

For that show you couldn't place, the tapings would have been for the WCW SN a day before, and 8 days before, SuperBrawl III. The WCW TV Title tourney of 1993 started on February 2nd. Those are all first round matches. I'll go with Feb 2nd until otherwise, as I believe Orndorff/Scorpio was the tourney's first match televised.

WWF/WWE Tag Team Champions That Can't Get Along: Diesel & Shawn Michaels - "Stop superkicking me Shawn!" Steve Austin & Dude Love - "F*** you, Foley, piece of trash". Steve Austin & Shawn Michaels - "I hate you, Shawn. Let's wrestle at KOTR." Kane & Mankind - Kane abandons team during reign. Steve Austin & The Undertaker - SummerSlam opponents turned partners before big match. Kane & X-Pac - Kane is evil, X-Pac says "Come on big guy, be nice!" The Rock & Mankind - "Don't you EVER use The Rock's lines again". Crash & Hardcore Holly - Crash tags in. Hardcore kicks him in face. Repeat. The Rock & The Undertaker - "Cool" guys and Demonic bikers didn't work. The Rock & Chris Jericho - Egomaniacs fighting over WCW title at same time. Rico & Rikishi - Rico accidently helps them win titles over Rico's team. Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit - "Partners have to hug!" -Angle "I hate you." -Benoit Charlie Haas & Rico - "Stop kissing me." Chris Benoit & Edge - Edge abandons team during Benoit's title win. WCW Tag Team Champions That Can't Get Along: Ron Simmons & Butch Reed Barry Windham & Dustin Rhodes Sting & Lex Luger (Trust Issues) Rick & Scott Steiner (Evil Scott) Scott Hall & Kevin Nash (Evil Hall) Sting & The Giant Rick Steiner & "Buff" Bagwell (Evil Bagwell) David Flair & Crowbar

Booker T & Goldust were friends by Armageddon 2002.

Seeing both NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and CARY ELWES nominated for any type of "award" is hilarious.

I predicted the Mavericks would win the series after they dropped the first two at home. Stop boasting. I know shit-nothing about basketball statistics. I just think Yao sucks.

How many times did PARTNERS WHO HATE EACH OTHER OR HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON wear the tag titles? Let's see Rock & Undertaker Austin & Undertaker Edge & Benoit Austin & Michaels Austin & Dude Love Rico & Rikishi

I dig the gimmick. People just don't have patience and want a big payoff now. I think the person that breaks the masterlock is gonna be made into a star if handled correctly. But knowing WWE booking, Shane McMahon will break it.

1992 is back up. Gaze upon the pictures of such greats as Sting, Austin, Rude, Paul E., and...uh...Chono. Yeah. Wonder who that "Steve Richards" is that worked Super Invader during his debut at WCW SN taping. Stevie? And that "Mando Khli" or however it was spelled that "looks like The Warlord"...could this be "Mondo Kleen", who was a big Northeast indy name that went on to be Damian DeMento in the WWF? And for as big as a York Foundation mark as I was, I didn't remember Terrence Taylor going back to "Terry Taylor" briefly before he became Taylor Made Man and being a face? Odd.

Lupus was an indy worker/manager type who I remember from NWA New Jersey at one point. I believe he had a ladder spot go wrong and got hurt in 2000. Haven't heard anything about him since, really. That was the only ECW appearence I remember he (and Chastity) making, as Raven's second-rate "Nest" replacements. Lupus was associated with Twiggy Ramirez if I'm not mistaken in NWA New Jersey years ago.

Well, let's see how I did. Sixers have no shot. Got it. Celtics suck. Got it. Heat in 5. Nope. Wizards in 6. Got it. Yao Ming is soft and not a playoff center and Rockets will lose series (after being up 2-0). Got it. Nash finishes 2nd in MVP to Shaq. Nope (apparently). Bullshit, tho. I done good.

Please shut the fuck up about Michaels. No one directly, but I'm getting sick of it being in any thread that even mentions him.
