Kazarian and Dutt is up next.

If it all starts over after a month or two, does that mean that he will think that he is still the GM like he was a month before he was hit again, and start telling people what to do, and set up matches out of no where? I'm guessing he'd bring the Great American Award again, try to award it to JBL, but the thing is, JBL failed to live up to his push and he will be regulated back to a midcarder. So while Angle is giving it to JBL again, it would not only lead to a very weird moment, but it would lead to JBL not wanting to recieve the award because he knows Eddie would come out and destroy it anyway. Or maybe Eddie will go back to the past to prevent Big Show from chokeslamming Kurt and injuring him, so he doesn't have to go through all this again. He can pull a Cartman: "Wow, March was so long ago. I wonder what life was like back then...back then...back then..."

Jarrett d. Storm (GASP!) Raven attacks Harris, trying to injure him. Swinger promo, doesn't say much.

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

Rank the last 20 WWE PPVs. And if you're doing this after Sunday, add Backlash in there and make it 21. This list will go from Summerslam 2002 => Present My list: 1) Summerslam 2002 2) WMXX 3) Vengeance 2003 4) WM19 5) Survivor Series 2003 6) Survivor Series 2002 7) Royal Rumble 2003 8) Royal Rumble 2004 9) Unforgiven 2002 10) Summerslam 2003 11) No Mercy 2002 12) No Mercy 2003 13) No Way Out 2004 14) Armageddon 2002 15) No Way Out 2003 16) Armageddon 2003 17) Bad Blood 2003 18) Unforgiven 2003 19) Backlash 2003 20) Judgment Day 2003

I second the nomination for Chicago for the 2005 Rumble. I'm hoping they bring a PPV here to North Carolina this upcoming year...the last one we had was Judgment Day 2003. (Uggh) I also nominate Minneapolis for a PPV. Don't think they've had one since Summerslam 99. EDIT: Also - how many PPVs are they adding in 2005? This year they added one in June and one in October. But there's a RAW PPV in January 2005?

"A preview for the new show "The WWE Experience" was advertised. The show debuts on May 2, 2004 on Spike TV. No time was announced." So that's the show replacing Confidential...I wonder what it'll be. Doesn't sound like an actual wrestling show, though.

My prediction for the WWE's winning caption choice: "Smack your TV? More like Smack your Bischoff!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL~!"

Damn, you guys are way more creative than I am. Although three Chapelle show references is kinda stretching it.

Call me crazy, but I actually want to see this ep of Smackdown. I'm way more interested in it than seeing Bradshaw getting his hat stolen and spit in. And I guess with the whole Angle angle...I want to see how it plays out before judging it. But I'd guess that Vince and company were distraught by the sinking ratings, and are going to try and pull a few over the top stunts to bring the viewers back.

As long as Jim Ross isn't set on fire, I'm happy.

Kevin Fertig of OVW (Seven, I believe his name was?) as a bleach blonde dark sinister type guy named Mordecai. We'll see what the vignette is like.

Yeah man. Weird spoilers this week. A lot of people thought they were fake at first, actually, but they're not. At least SD is trying some different things, I guess. Things to look forward to: Mark Jindrak gets a gimmick Rico and Jackie's runway debut Kevin Fertig from OVW gets a debut vignette for a new character Rene Dupree might get an interview segment thing starting next week? And an angle at the end of the show that...well...we'll see.

Dumbest decision ever.

Wow. Weirdest spoilers ever. I thought they were fake at first, too. Jindrak as the new Narcissist? Fine by me. At least they're doing SOMETHING with him. But they really ARE going back to 1993 with all the gimmicks they're bringing in these days, aren't they? Mordecai? Sounds fine to me. Dudleys as tag champs? Either a mistake, or maybe they'll shoot an angle where the Duds steal the tag belts or something? EDIT: And maybe the Kurt thing is to let Big Show get suspended, and take time off for the knees. Kurt is replaced for a week or two on the show by Vince. Then Taker comes back to get revenge on Vince for Survivor Series, and we get Taker vs. Vince in a casket match or something like that for JD. Just a thought.

See what you can come up with for this one: And last week's picture, with the WWE's choice of winning captions... Fred from Michigan writes: "You know, Sable, Herbal Essences isn't the only thing that can make you feel that good." Trevor from Maryland writes: "You have a killer body, but these split ends have got to go."

Thanks Deon, you rock! Keep it up, man. Didn't Benoit show up on RAW the next night? How did that work?

April-May-June were not good for the WWE last year. Hopefully this year's PPVs will be better... Backlash will definitely be better than 2003. But JD? I'm not sure...

I just think generally it's an excuse for booking laziness. The matches have occasionally been good - WM20, Vengeance, for example. But what was the "issue" at Vengeance? Brock was champ, and both Big Show and Angle wanted title shots. The end. How about at Armageddon? Goldberg was champ, and both Kane and HHH wanted title shots. Quite the storyline. I think everyone here made it clear that they could have easily done HHH/Benoit at WM.

Yeah, I wasn't really hoping for Coach vs. Tajiri. Here are two possibilities for Sunday: 1) 4 minutes of lame comedy 2) Coach comes out with his "Ninja" again. JR and Lawler talk about how it's Snow again. Tajiri beats Coach, and after the match Al Snow runs in and Tajiri takes him out too. Then the Ninja comes in and beats up Tajiri and unmasks to be some new superstar to RAW or whatever. And there's a feud for ya. Somehow, though, I think option 1 is a bit more likely.

We've had triple threat matches at Wrestlemania, No Way Out (for title shot), Armageddon, Unforgiven (IC title), and Vengeance. We're going to have a second straight triple threat main event at Backlash. Anyone else want to see them go back to one on one title matches for a while after this month? (Especially on RAW)

And roid he has.

Yeah, I think ***1/4 or so is fair. It was a pretty fun match, but saying ****+ is a little overboard.

Does anyone else think the graphic of Jericho on the main page of wwe.com is hilarious? It's like his head on some other body. Oh, and RAW was okayish. The main event was pretty fun, everything else was just last show before the PPV formulaic kind of stuff.

As I said in another thread, he's Lawler's kid. What Lawler wants, Lawler gets. And hey, it's not like the tag team division doesn't need some help!
