Yeah, that's just my guess of what will happen. Vince can replace Kurt for a few weeks, Taker can get revenge for Survivor Series in a casket match or something, and Booker can stay feuding with RVD instead of getting squashed. But who knows, it probably won't happen.

Seemed to me like everything was done either in the ring or on the entrance ramp. Did Steve Austin and Brian Pillman ever have a one on one match during their feud of 96-97?

He probably would have faced Bulldog at Summerslam, as that's what Sid ended up doing.

So one of the best shows on FSN gets a 0.3 in the ratings? (The Best Damn Sports Show Period) Wow.

I think Big Show is out to get surgery. I'm pretty sure we'll see Two Cool vs. Dudleys for the tag titles. In a wild guess, I see the card as maybe something like this: Eddie vs. Bradshaw Taker vs. Vince Booker vs. RVD (some sort of gimmick, maybe) Cena vs. Frenchy (US title) 2 Cool vs. Dudleys (tag titles) Chavo vs. Nunzio vs. Rey (cruiserweight title) And then they'll fill out the card with Haas, Rico, Holly, whoever. Doesn't look too exciting. People are already predicting this to get one of the lowest buyrates ever...

Dammit! Well I guess I'm an idiot. Piper = promo God

I think I was just confused by the "if I'm in bed and I see a dead horse's head, I have a barbecue" line. But yeah, he makes his point at the end. I guess he just does it in a roundabout way.

I'm just guessing here, of course (as I didn't even follow wrestling at the time), but I'd say _if_ anything was planned, it would be a Vader/Warrior feud for the title down the road. Vader was supposed to get the title from Shawn at Summerslam and then would move on to feud with somebody, and with Taker feuding with Foley it might have been Warrior. Things worked out much better without him.

From what I read, Flair was criticizing Foley both for only doing the "hardcore" style, and the fact that he can't wrestle. He's right - Foley couldn't go out there and wrestle for 60 minutes with Benoit or Eddie. But hey - there have been much worse than Foley who have been to the top of the business. Just out of curiousity, who was responsible for Flair's burial in WCW during the nWo days?

Ventura was liked at first as governor, IIRC, because they had a budget surplus his first year there and things were going well. Then the economy started to go downhill and Jesse's popularity REALLY declined. There was no way in hell he could have won reelection.

The shows look somewhat okayish tonight.

Damn, I was hoping for a poster that showed Bradshaw chasing around Mexicans.

Why did WCW never have backstage interviews/promos, etc?

Who is the current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight champion? And who, in your opinion, are the two or three champs of all time?

Benoit vs. HHH vs. HBK: Benoit wins it with a sharpshooter reversal on Michaels. Orton vs. Foley: Orton with the RKO after Mick takes a bunch of bumps and Orton takes 1-2. Edge vs. Kane: Kane wins by DQ after Edge uses the cast. Set up a rematch between the two. Jericho vs. Trish/X: I think they set up the finish of this match on RAW. Christian said he'll beat up Jericho, which he will. Trish will get tagged in for the pin, Jericho kicks out, and then he finishes her off for the win. Victoria vs. Lita: Victoria I guess. Don't really know or care that much. Shelton vs. Flair: I think this will be the first match and that Benjamin wins it. Tajiri vs. Coach: Comedy match I guess. Tajiri wins, gets beat up by somebody who Coach can manage or something. Who knows.

As Vince says..."anything's possible in the World Wrestling Federation". Or WWE, whatever. I really don't know about the idea, though. It would probably be cool, but I'd still be uncomfortable about it.

Why didn't the Jericho vs. Shamrock match happen at Unforgiven 99? I believe Shamrock was hurt, but he wrestled at the Smackdown before the show...so what happened?

I sat down and watched RAW with my girlfriend for the first time, and that was the show Kane set JR on fire. Ugggh.

No, it's not all Bradshaw's fault. Somehow, I don't think an angle where he gets his hat taken away and stomped on is really going to bring in the $$$$.

The big question in all of this... WHO WILL MAKE SURE BISCHOFF DOESN'T GET CORRUPT WITH POWER ON RAW??? WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT A SHERIFF????

Interesting. He'll probably head to Japan occasionally and hang out with Goldberg.

When did Bradshaw become entertaining? Making fun of mexicans? Been done....several times, and it's stupid. Having political videos to insult his opponent? They just did that with Orton...and Ortons were better. Give him a cowboy hat? Probably on loan from Shawn Michaels. NOTHING about Bradshaw entertains me, and what was entertaining has been done before, and better. I would have to agree here. Hating mexicans = not entertainment........ Clearly Vince and Stephanie don't agree with you...

A Tajiri/Eugene tag team? Come on now, Dave...

I don't expect the ratings to go up anytime soon...but you know that Vince will use stiff competition to keep justifying the Bradshaw push. At least last night's show wasn't too Bradshaw-heavy...
