The Mandarin

Tonight, sleep will face Kane!

Somebody needs to bring a sign that says "Facing Kane tonight | | V"

Silly Mark Lloyd, he thinks we want to go to Ottawa to see a SmackDown house show.

Well, you must admit WWE likes to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Even from house shows.

THAT MAN IS SHOOTING

?

"THREE ON ONE HANDICAP MATCH! DID I MENTION--- KANE?!" "So which is it?" "RANDY ORTON WILL FACE-- A HANDICAPPED KANE!"

Remember that guy who got his friend a RKO Cake? ..I think that's what he had in mind.

Yeah, Deon said they were in another thread.

How is the Mothman these days anywhoo?

Found it today. Hey, thanks for the tip, eh?

"Fans, this has been the greatest intervention in the history of our sport!"

But I bought the kitchen set and everything!

Please. God. No. Yes, I've been waiting for this ever since their explosive match at King of the Ring 2002! Surf's up, homies! Here's my opinion which isn't really relevant! Good! -Production values and music videos were OFF THE CHARTS. Like, seriously, that carried the entire PPV. The set was awesome as well. I don't know what they did, but it looked really, really good tonight. -Christian/Tomko/Trish and Kane and Lita's first skit were pretty funny, and the commentary tonight by Lawler and Ross seemed to really click. -BIGDAVE carries Benoit and crew to a watchable match. *** -The ladder match, which while being VERY, very dangerous, was an entertaining spotfest. Not as good as RVD/Christian from last year, though. ***1/2 -The World Title match, I really enjoyed. I didn't mind all the needless run-ins at the end, because it's not like I wasn't expecting it. I can now sleep knowing the title is back on Triple H. Better than Orton/Benoit II. ***1/2-***3/4 Remember kids, I'm not a trained professional. I can, and will, throw out many stars. Do not attempt. Average! -The useless tag team title match! -The women's title match! -Shawn Michaels vs. Kane which wasn't worth the No DQ stipulation! ** Ugly! -Jericho swallowing a ladder with his ass -Triple H's chairshot on Randy Orton -Stevie vs. Tomko, -** Worst match of the year thus far. Good show, I'd say. Better than Bad Blood, Vengeance and way better than last year's Unforgiven. Like I said, something seemed to click with me about the set design, production and commentary.

See PG. 4

Well, I CERTAINLY wasn't going to start this until I saw Mark Jindrak attempt a hurricanrana off the top and (I think) blow it completely, to LAND ON HIS SKULL. He had to have blown it, it didn't look like Spike pushed him off. Anyways, he managed to finish the match (it had about 20 seconds anyways), but that was UNGODLY. Word has it this next Bashams/FBI match is actually pretty good. Obviously, Nunzio carried it.

Here. Disgusting. He probably doesn't even realize what he did.

Voice, it's yo' turn. Steviekick can skip over him if he doesn't reply in an hour. If Voice does get back after Steviekick makes his pick, then Voice can draft at any time.

Is this OAO'd?

Sounds pretty boring on paper, but that 10/2 show looks incredible.

Ten. We're about half way there. Hooray. We're making deadline!

Wait, the Eddie DVD is at Music World?

You guys can start discussing trades now if you want. Of course, you can't officially trade yet(!)-- but you can discuss trades that you would like to make when the time comes (Sept. 27-Oct. 31). SO CONTEMPLATE, FOLKS.

Anybody see last night's episode? I'm watching it at 4:30 today.

I couldn't find a Shawn Michaels DVD thread, so I'll ask here: Are any of the matches on his "Boyhood Dream" DVD clipped? I found it going for cheap, and I don't want to buy it if the matches aren't 100%.
