Hunter's Torn Quad

Didn't Spike pull out from negotiations before picking up Impact? Spike pulled out because Vince wanted a better deal than they were prepared to give, and Vince was then forced to take a deal he didn't really like with USA because he had no other place to go.

Because in his WCW run in 1993, Benoit was a virtual jobber, while Heyman actually showcased Benoit and gave him his first significant push in North America, hence Heyman getting the credit for first showcasing Benoit. The credit isn't about using Benoit first in America, but about giving him his first real push in America.

According to Bryan Alvarez, the Jackass angle for Summerslam is apparently for the three members of Jackass to have individual matches, and the plan is for them to be the babyfaces.

2.9 and 2.6

Wouldn't she have to be a human being to come out the broken shell of one? True. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a major breakdown while locked up. She'll probably be zonked out on pills by the middle of next week.

With any luck, the time in jail will break Paris, and she'll come out a broken shell of a human being.

If they let RVD go and stay away for a while, which just happens to be the length of time he wanted off in the first place, and then come to terms and sign him back again, it would allow both sides to get what they want without having to do what they don't want. RVD gets his time off and comes back with a raise, and WWE get to re-sign him without RVD's time off being part of the deal, and they save face.

Vince's 'slow, eating cancer' line at ONS is apparently the start of some sort of angle. -Alvarez.

Right now? Cena. Down the road? Probably Edge.

Bobby Lashley 'tribute'

Technically, Dustin was never hired to be fired; he backed out before he could sign. In any event, Dustin has a few more firings to go to come close to Marty's record. I think Marty is at eight or nine now.

Khali knows very little English. The translator deal isn't solely because it fits his gimmick.

Two weeks, tops.

The new Vengeance poster, as per Shopzone:

Or, more likely, they changed their minds.

So what was the point of RVD winning if he was going to get destroyed afterwards anyway?

I guess the swerve was really important to people.

If the announcers don't know what's going to happen, they can't take the audience in the direction they're supposed to be going. It's hard to tell the story the company wants if you're not told what it is.

It calls for Rob to be out for revenge, and he didn't look like a guy ready to kick some ass.

If facial expressions are anything to go by, Van Dam looks like he's losing and isn't happy about it.

While you make a point that we only hear things against Stephanie, you have to wonder why we hear very little in support of Stephanie. Even when Triple H was at his worse years ago, you'd still hear plenty of people talking in his defense. But with Stephanie, almost nobody says anything positive about her.
