I want to see the show just for that last match.

So how much of the show did you guys miss?

He's being added to RAW...did Marc Lloyd get canned?

http://www.kold.com/Global/story.asp?S=169315 He makes the same stupid joke in this, too. LOL.

Man...a second wrestling company needs to come along with television and some money behind it...so much talent not getting used!!!

So really...why are we feeling badly about Benoit when there'll be a ton of talented guys left off the card? I guess you can't fit everybody... I hope WM does a good buyrate, though.

True...I'm sure it doesn't bother him as much as it does the smark community.

Yeah, but wasn't Steve Blackman too?

Oh, and sorry for sounding like a bitter smark.

So HHH lobbies to bring Benoit into RAW because Benoit can work matches of his style and work his pace. So then they book a _ladder_ match (apparently) at WMXX with HHH and Benoit and add HBK to the mix, and then after WMXX HHH is done with Benoit and moving on to put (himself) over Edge next. The only thing that makes sense is for Benoit to win at WM...or for HBK to win it, and Benoit to beat him at Backlash in Edmonton. But I think we can throw common sense out the window, don't you think?

Look at the WWF a few years ago..._everyone_ had a catch phrase. Austin: Several Rock: Tons Road Dogg: His prematch thing Godfather: His prematch thing Big Show: "And that's the last word!" X-Pac: "Your ass is grass and we're gonna smoke it" Angle: "It's true, it's true" HHH: "I am that damn good" Jericho: Several Foley: Several Etc, etc. Now look today. Jericho still has some (his "sanctimonious S.O.B thing"), Austin occasionally busts out "And that's the bottom line...", Cena has some catch phrases which have caught on. But there's a definite drop there. Was it just that in you were expected to have one back in the Russo days? What do you think happened, or am I just crazy for recognizing this?

My guesses: O'Haire Storm Dreamer Dinsmore Ultimo Funaki Richards Rosey And what about Test? They've pretty much been burying him lately.

Exaaaaaaaaaactly. The creative department always seems to come up blank when it comes to guys like Raven, Dustin, D'Lo, Kanyon, Jerry Lynn...Christ, is it _that_ hard?

I can't wait to hear the "I'll tell you you're not in my league while you stare at me" promo.

The question is, what other guys can RAW import to "feed" to HHH? They've _gotta_ be running out of options!

Indeed...Trips _COULD_ make him into a huge star when he returns... But he won't.

Oh come on guys...you know HHH just wants Edge on RAW because Edge is a great young talent HHH wants to make sure gets put over in a great give-and-take, even, balanced feud.

Also, did the WWF only bring Sid back in 1996 because of the Warrior situation, or were they probably going to bring him back anyways?

Thanks!

And really, there's no one more deserving of a spot on the roster than Ernest the Cat Miller. He's entertained so many people and had so many great matches.

Any word on if the show was any good or not?

Amen to that. Hit the nail on the head.

After the MSG incident in 96, why do you think the WWF picked Austin to win the KOTR instead of Vader, who was set for a big push and to face HBK at Summerslam?

Thank you!

Oh, and Velocity too. Thanks!
