Jerome Walton. Great rookie of the year season for the Cubs in 1989, and then dropped off the map.

No there's still more to come. Not that what's airing looks great. But Jimmy Jacobs over Eddie Guerrero? HUSS!

Dark Match: *WWE champion John Cena defeated John Bradshaw Layfield and WWE United States champion Orlando Jordan in a handicap match.

I think the original idea was for Austin v Hunter. When did they know for sure that Hall, Hogan, and Nash were coming in? Because if the original plan was Austin vs. Hunter, Jericho obviously wouldn't have won the title. Who would Rock have faced? I assume Austin would have still been a heel? I'm just wondering when the plans changed to involve the nWo guys.

Before deciding to bring in Hall, Nash, and Hogan in 2002, did the WWF have any tenative plans for Austin and Rock at Wrestlemania?

There might be a review of one or two of the years at the Paradise City Ninjas website.

According to PWInsider.com, CM Punk will wrestle Val Venis this week on Heat.

What did he say to her? I missed it.

I say Edge and Kane win. Lita turns on Kane in the finals and Edge wins. He has his title match with Batista, loses, HHH comes out and pedigrees and sledges Bats, Edge uses his money in the bank title shot, and gets the pin to become new champion. HHH vs. Batista at Vengeance is non-title. Oh, who am I kidding. Of course it's not going to be non-title.

Maybe a link and the piece too? I know a lot of people hate the spyware and popups at your site, Mike. Great writeup though.

Well TECHNICALLY it didn't say it would be for the title... But yeah.

In WWE's monthly PPV newsletter, they have confirmed that the June 26th Vengeance PPV will be headlined by a Triple H vs. Batista Hell in the Cell match. The PPV will take place in Las Vegas, NV. The newsletter also announced the ECW PPV for 6/12. Credit: PWInsider.com

I think the stuff with Rave really shows how you can take a guy and make him into a star with really good booking and giving him a story to work with in his matches. I hated Rave in a lot of his matches because he never tried to tell a story, just hit his same spots every match, and that was it. But now that he's playing a character instead of just being some generic indy wrestler and is in feuds with an actual story to them, he's really excelling. Punk has really worked his ass off to get Rave over.

Here's a great report by Mike Johnson at PWI:

This is from the book Thanks for the explanation!

HGH and roids, baby! That way you don't have to work out! WHOOOOOOOOO!

Going into WM18, was the plan to do HHH vs. Hogan at Backlash, or some other match? (HHH vs. Undertaker?)

Yeah, this show is really bad.

That shower gag was funny. The tampon bit might be offensive to a few people.

I was reminded of the show where he hits his shin and then says "ow" for three minutes. "CAPTAIN CRUNCH WAS HERE!" Not as good as last week yet, but not bad.

That Law and Order bit to start was pretty funny.

Wow, this was really good. And I'm glad to see an ROH movie for such a recent DVD release, too. I know a lot of reports said this show was average, but this movie makes it look like a million bucks.
