Here's the WWE.com preview: ---------------- This week on HEAT, the action gets red hot when Steven Richards and Test finally lock it up once again. They’ve been at each other’s throats for weeks and now you get to see them one on one during HEAT! Also, the quest to be the first to knock off World Tag Team Champions Rob Van Dam & Booker T continues when Rosey & the Hurrican face Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrak. Check out Lance Storm in singles action and Matt Hardy in singles action as well. HEAT will also take a look back at the events of RAW when Mr. McMahon and Eric Bischoff were supposed to square off in the Monday Night War, but a shocking interference ruined what was supposed to be the match of the night. Don’t miss it! Also, HEAT will show Jim Ross’s exclusive interview with Mick Foley. Start your WWE week off the right way with HEAT at 7/6 CT on Spike TV!

This just in...John Henson is STILL not funny. Wrestlemania promo. It's 14 days away! Foley/Orton feud recap.

J and C win it...Cade with a leaping bulldog from the second rope on Rosey for the pin.

We've got Hurricane/Rosey vs. Jindrak/Cade right now. I haven't read any spoilers for this show, but I'm guessing Jindrak/Cade win it. We'll see. And can they please kill the Hurricane and Rosey gimmicks?

Does anyone remember Steve Blackman's interview with Terry Taylor on a RAW before Summerslam 99? He did the whole interview addressing Shamrock but staring at Taylor and then ends it "this has to end one way...OR ANOTHER!!!!!" It was just really bad.

How long did Kane wrestle matches under the red light after his debut?

What would get better ratings and more viewers... A National TV Syndication, or a $10 PPV per week? If they got national TV and a good time slot, and actually put some money into the production aspect of things to make sure they didn't look minor league, I really think people would start watching.

I thought Lash was okay in WCW. He's not some God of workrate, but he's decent enough to have a spot on the roster if he's willing to work his ass off to be there.

How long has Mantel been in charge of the writing now? Haven't buyrates pretty much been going down since then? And it still pisses me off that when they were going to have BFG they were going to promote it will Joanie Lauer and Randy Savage. Christ, make stars of YOUR OWN that people want to see.

What's a dream feud that COULD have happened in WWF or WCW or wherever, but never did for whatever reason? I'm kind of surprised that Flair vs. Warrior never happened in the WWF in 1992, but I guess Flair was busy trying to get the title off Flair, and Warrior had to leave soon after. Sure, Warrior sucked, but the mark in me would have loved that feud. Or how about Hogan and Bret Hart? Never got to see that anywhere. Got any of your own?

He's the new announcer they just signed.

Jordan wins with one of the worst finishers out there.

You gotta hate Todd Pettengill...what a loser. Shilling POGs in candy stripe pants? Being the biggest dork ever? Seriously. Stephanie Wyant or whatever her name was...she sucked too. Which WWF interview people did you always hate?

I was watching Bret vs. Shawn from Survivor Series 92 tonight. There's a spot fairly late in the match where Bret has Shawn in a sleeper, and Shawn backs Bret up into the corner, sandwiching Earl Hebner and causing a ref bump...but Hebner gets right back up (kinda like Series 97, really!) and nothing is made of it. Does anyone know why they did that? It just seems kind of weird that they would have a ref bump but not have him be bumped.

When did Vince say he cheated on Linda in the 80's? With who? Somehow, I get the feeling that Steph WAS pimped out by Vince to nasty old men...I don't know, it's just gross to think about...

Was 1991 or 1993 the first year they did the "winner of the Rumble gets the mania title shot" thing. I'm guessing 93 with Yokozuna, but I could easily be wrong. How did the Nation of Domination originally form? And how long did Farooq go around wearing that helmet thing?

Did the Knights from Survivor Series 1993 ever wrestle any other matches as the Knights, or was that just a one show thing?

And I'm assuming it also varies widely as to the proximity/how well you can see what's going on, etc?

I think it's actually IYH 4 and 5 mashed together as "Winter Combat".

I might be, I might be...

Hi, I'm looking for tapes (or DVD-R's or whatever) of WWF pre pay per view shows, such as the "March to Wrestlemania" shows (don't know how many of these there are, but I know WM 8, 9, and 10 have them), Survivor Series Showdown for 92 and 93, the Summerslam Spectacular shows, etc. If you have them or know anywhere I can get them, please let me know. I have tons of stuff to trade or could buy them. Thanks!

Yes it was...and so was the Oddities/Kaientai match at Summerslam 98.

I wanna put my VHS wrestling tapes on DVD...any reccomendations?

How did Warrior draw as champion? I mean, he always got big pops...but was the WWF doing good business with Hogan out of there and Hellwig as the main man?

LOL! When did he ask to start a promo over?
