So Khali's been on all three brands in 8 months? Good job.

Using Ford Field for WM23 is an aberration, as the company wants to generally keep WM in major cities and smaller arenas to guarantee sellouts and a lot of media coverage. Orlando will ALWAYS be a tourist center due to Disney/Universal in proximity. Plus, they can get the late Spring Breakers and the tourists due to the decent weather. The Amway Arena held 12,876 the last time WWE ran there for a PPV (Armageddon 2003) but its capacity is officially 18,000.

I thought Lashley blew the finish and was supposed to take a bigger bump.

This is RVD's first one-on-one ECW title shot since February 8, 1997 against Raven in Downingtown, PA.

So I take it Balls got legit hurt there, since pinfalls via spinning back elbows are pretty rare.

Barry Windham won the NWA World title in 1993. Curt Hennig won the AWA World Title in 1988.

Probably Test at the Royal Rumble.

Without clear-cut won-loss records, this is an obvious way to say "Hey, this guy is better than these jobbers."

Well, Matt can be hard to understand on the mic sometimes...

Perhaps Armstrong will replace Tazz in the booth once Tazz's contract expires? Striker's used the Golden Rule for months since he was on Heat.

Reuniting La Rez makes sense (outdated gimmick aside).

Lashley crushes Dupree in a non-title match to open the show.

Lashley needs a mouthpiece...or he should come out with a tank of helium to explain his voice being so damn high.

Perhaps it's a couple DC indy guys filling in the 29th and 30th spots?

The 'reinforced ring' comment is an old chestnut that HAS to be worked in during every battle royal. It's the law. So, let's count the world champions in the match...HHH, HBK, Slaughter, Edge, Orton, Ron Simmons....?

Cornette: That's a WOMAN! Angle: I want my rematch! Cornette: That's a WOMAN! Angle: I want my rematch! SoCalVal: ...My name is Val...

Cawthon's site backs this up, which is a pretty goddamn incredible feat.

Who's the new interviewer? And how does Lowshi not kill people with the Warrior's Way?

GOD ALMIGHTY SHUT THE HELL UP

Much love for the Allied Powers mixed theme from 1995.

First time Melina's kissed Nitro on the lips during their entrance, I think.

Gerwitz gets namedropped in his own sketch.

So you think they'll stretch this women's feud until NYR?

Crowd holding a moment of silence....or just not giving a damn.
