Remember, UPN wanted him off TV, so they made an angle to keep him off TV until the GAB.

Wow, Rey Misterio in the dark match beating HHH? One can only hope this goes somewhere.

I think it's clear that not even Bush expects Roberts to get nominated. He only needs a new bad guy for the media to focus on (to take the heat off of Karl Rove). Now, the Dems will be falling all over themselves to filibuster this guy, which I'm sure they will manage to do. When Bush's REAL nominee gets revealed in a couple of months, the Republicans will talk about how the Democrats are blocking the progress of government, etc. Dems will realize they now look like whiners, so they will let choice #2 pass without incident. Result: Bush gets the nominee he wanted all along, Karl Rove is out of the spotlight, and the Democrats look even worse heading into 2006.

I'd say Metallica was just as good as Master of Puppets. Two entirely different-sounding albums, yes, but I really don't see where 'The Black Album' is weaker than Puppets. Both have their strengths and weaknesses; both have their anthems and their throwaway songs.

They could conceivably set up the entire card of RAW next week just based on who hit who. Tajiri vs. Rob Conway Viscera vs. Heart Throbs Big Show vs. Kurt Angle Rosey vs. Danny Basham Val Venis vs. Rene Dupree Shelton/Cena vs. Jericho/Carlito (wacky partners!)

I like how he has an apple on his tights.

Repo Man 2005.

The "Meltzer LOVES this!" sign during the Regal-Benoit match was GOLD. As was the 'spinaroonie' sign that was just a picture of Booker T kneeling that the guy spun around. During the Monday Night Wars, seeing 'Other Channel Jackass' on Nitro was really awesome.

See, now they need to replicate that with fake thunderstorms inside the arena. They made it rain indoors that one time during the Kane-Taker buildup in 2004; just do it again every week. This is one more reason why house shows are so much fun.

I marked for the CHICKENWING~! I think they should just make Benoit and Regal do this again at SummerSlam.

Remember, send all hatemail to Rey Misterio, since this was evidently his idea.

Eddie Guerrero is the WWE's answer to Bill Brasky. "Eddie Guerrero once showed me a video of him having sex with my wife...and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!"

Well, I would hope that the WWE staff will do a number on his ring attire so he doesn't look like a total moron. I mean, right now he's got: facepaint an 80s fade haircut big fake horns a biker vest a lei around his neck and a cane made from a bull's penis (seriously, that's what I think it is) He looks really fucked up, but not too scary. If you're going to do 'The Boogeyman,' he needs to have bat-wings or red eyeballs or some shit like that. Oh, and Gangrel fangs. Of course, I'm sure WWE will set him up with some inventive entrance/lighting/music. I mean, The Undertaker would look like ass just standing there will all the lights on and no fog/music.

No, he slapped him backstage.

From an OVW TV report: "It's the Black guy who got cut from tough enough for lying about his age. Clothesline from the top. Zombie situp! He's sort of dressed like Papa Shango. He's singing “Jimmy Crack Corn”. This is very, very, weird. He's cutting a Warrior-riffic promo talking about putting your kids to sleep at night. He says he never had a mother and father. He says he's not afraid of the Boogieman. I AM THE BOOGIEMAN. I can't tell whether this is the greatest thing ever or wrestlecrap. He goes after the guard rail around the and scares the shit out of everyone. He crawls out the emergency exit of the building backwards!" A fan's reaction: "It has to be seen to be believe just how putrid this gimmick is. Ranks up there with the time Lawler put blinking Christmas lights, tinsel, and various patches of pine on the future Kane and called him the Christmas Creature."

My God, that match would be great. If this was 2002. But now? It could reach Hogan-Warrior II levels of badness.

My thoughts exactly. I was thingking about how ridiculous it would be if it starting playing after the SCM, with the camera on mean-faced Micheals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I was disappointed he didn't get a new song. I think maybe a superslow remix in the vein of The Rock's remix (when he returned in 2003) would work. It's odd when you consider that (DX theme aside) HBK has had the same basic entrance music since 1992.

Cause he caught him with a cheapshot instead of straight-up challenging him to a match. Compare to the setup for Rock/Hogan (WMX8): Rock asked Hogan point-blank for a match.

If they have any intelligence at all, they won't. Also, they're already no-selling its existence, so I doubt they would put it up on their site.

I like how Piper gets the 'WWE Legend' logo next to his name on the chyron.

Rent-a-cop, probably.

Best setup ever. NO ONE CUTS OFF THE BUMPER MUSIC!

Um, Vince...quads...remember?
