Yeah, but you've got Rico and Jackie on Velocity! And I wouldn't mind if Torrie and Dawn Marie got managerial jobs...mind as well use them doing _something_. Whatever happened to the Torrie/Billy Gunn relationship? What a slut.

I match I always hated but others raved about...Lesnar vs. Taker in the HIAC. HHH vs. Marc Mero from Beware of the Dog.

It needs more dog.

From Buck Woodward at PWI: "WWE will be canceling Confidential very soon. At this time, it is not yet determined what they will put in the spot, but that hour will have to be filled by WWE, as per their deal with Viacom. The show has been doing low ratings of late, and is expensive to produce (which is why they take some weeks off and air repeats). That double whammy is doom for any show. As I mentioned, WWE will keep the slot, so let the "return of ECW" or "return of WCW" rumors begin! Seriously, I always thought there was a lot of potential in Confidential, but they never seemed to stick with one direction for the show, and as the ratings have shown, not a lot of fans were interested in it."

Yeah, I never saw Rock/HHH from Backlash 2000 live, and I never understood why people loved that match so much. Others: Flair/Perfect from RAW The first E&C vs. Hardys ladder match 2000 Royal Rumble RVD/Lynn series from ECW

You have to remember that the WWE doesn't want a lot of moves going right down on the head/neck. I.E - no Burning Hammer, no Vertebraker, no Fisherman's Buster, no wrist clutch exploder, etc etc. I would say the Dragon Clutch is a great idea...and it _can_ be put on quickly if done right. Just watch Low Ki go to work. And it looks painful as hell and tough to escape from. I would say either a submission or a pinning-suplex maneuver. That would seem to fit Benjamin's style.

I like the Dragon Whip, but I just don't see it as a main event finishing move. And hell, HHH already kicked out of it. Any ideas of what Benjamin could start using for a finisher?

What scares me is that there's only 2 weeks between the June PPV and Vengeance for Smackdown. If they decide to carry the Bradshaw feud over...he might get three PPV main events! So does this mean the 10/19/04 RAW PPV will be Halloween Havoc?

Was Vince booked to be the "Greater Power" all along, or was that just some thrown together booking to turn Vince heel? What the hell was the thinking behind that whole angle?

Good questions. As far as I know, neither feud ever had a real blowoff. HBK moved onto his feud with Perfect, that basically lasted from WMIX to Summerslam. Doink and Crush continued, but after they switched Luger to babyface I think they wanted another big strong heel, so they switched Crush heel and had him feud with Savage. Of course they turned Doink face (a BIG mistake), so yeah...I don't think either feud ever had a proper blowoff. And why _didn't_ Jannetty have a match at WMIX?

Razor turned face on the 7/19/93 episode of RAW. Money Inc had been insulting him for a while for losing his money to the Kid. Razor attacked them, and turned face, and went on to beat DiBiase at Summerslam.

It's always the stupid little stuff that makes me laugh too. Like the song "I've got something in my BUTT pocket". I thought it was front pocket. Hmmm...I thought it was BUTT, just because the lyrics were something about "take a little squeeze" or something like that. I missed the preview for next week...Lemmiwinks?

This show is on a fucking roll right now.

"She's not going to believe this!" "That's because she's not gonna know about it, bitch!" *Breaks the cop's neck*

"Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a bitch?"

Wayne Brady driveby!!!!

It's always the stupid little stuff that makes me laugh too. Like the song "I've got something in my BUTT pocket".

I had to laugh everytime for the high pitched voice and the itching of the neck by Dave in that FF skit.

So what were the star-ranges of the matches tonight? Anything over **1/2?

What the hell kind of a show is that? Teddy Long vs. Spike???

What exactly is it that Kane shot Chyna (aiming for HHH with) before WM15? It was like a little pistol that shot a fireball. Is that some movie prop or something or what was it? And when did the fans start to hate X-Pac with a passion?

"Dave Scherer reported tonight on pwinsider.com that Steve Austin's career with the WWE may be over. Scherer reports that Austin and his attorney are in the midst of a contract renegotiation and that a meeting with Vince McMahon turned ugly on Friday when Austin's lawyer tried to play hardball and McMahon resisted. Austin may not have picked the best time to make such a move because 1Wrestling sources have told us the company is irate at recent reports that he is accused of domestic violence against his live-in girlfriend Tess Broussard. Austin did not appear on RAW last night, although the show was broadcast from his home state of Texas. WWE.com has not made mention of the Austin situation." -1wrestling

I hope people can detect sarcasm, especially from Wrestlecrap...

Let's be honest here, Steve Blackman _never_ got over... It really _does_ seem like the WWE is going old school again. More power to the referees, longer slower matches, gimmicks, babyfaces all getting along with each other...it's like reverse-Attitude era.

Ahmed was IC champ at the time, and the night he won the battle royal (it was taped on July 22) he was attacked post-match by a debuting Farooq. I'm guessing the HBK/Ahmed match would have ended in a no contest after interference by Vader and Farooq, and then they could have a tag match or something to build up their feuds. That's what I would guess, at least.
