Patrick Muldoon.

We did see Jessie's dad, during the Palm Springs Wedding eps, remember?

Jericho/Christian can't go on much longer. The problem with RAW is the babyface side is very heavy (Benoit, Michaels, Edge, Shelton, Jericho) while Evolution are the top heels and have already had matches/feuds with those guys. Title-wise, no one would buy Batista in a main event program yet (perhaps he could feud with Jericho since Jericho can carry opponents), Flair has his injuries to tend to, Trips is off making movies for a while, Orton's got Shelton and/or Edge. Plus, it seems every week it's interchangeable that someone from Evolution will take on one of the top faces. Christian vs. Benoit, or even a Christian/Michaels feud would be fresh, and I think Christian could make it work.

First, you speak badly of Howard The Duck, and then I see you put "Garbage Pail Kids" in that category? Have you no love for great 80's cinema!?

I honestly was thinking the same thing last night, lol.

I don't think they'll all turn on him. Orton, Batista, then possibly Maven and a heel Shane Helms (after dropping Rosey and the Hurricane moniker) could be a good heel version of Evolution sans Triple H and Flair. Then you could have Trips and Flair having to help each other out, since no one on the face side (Benoit, Edge, Shelton, Michaels if he still is) is willing to give them assistance due to their past.

That's the thing. I can't see them doing a three way for the IC Title, especially coming off the three way feud over the World Title. The only other heel left for Edge to face sans Evolution members would be Christian, but they're best kept apart for a while. I don't see Jericho going heel anytime soon, so Edge vs. heel Michaels could definitely work. As for Orton, no matter who he feuds with, I say botched interference from Flair causes him to drop the IC, keeping him strong in the meantime. Then he turns on Flair and forms his own version of Evolution to combat the legend (Flair) and the legends protege coming out for revenge (Triple H).

???? Dude...no. Just no. I love Eddie and all, but no way. JBL isn't ready for the US Title, nevermind WWE Title shots.

Benoit/Christian certainly could close a PPV, IMO, especially if Eddie/JBL is the main event of Judgement Day. Christian's got the personality, the skill, plus the secondary characters that would be important to work false finishes. He'd mesh well with Benoit, and a story of Benoit going 3 on 1 would sell it as a hot main event.

Last week, we saw Edge interrupt Orton's victory promo, and tell Randy (in as many words) that he didn't like him. This week, Shelton Benjamin runs Randy off after Orton spits in the face of Harley Race. The question is, which feud are we going to see out of these angles? Was the Edge confrontation just to segue into making the tag match? It would seem that with Triple H going away for a bit, and him wanting to work with Edge down the line, that Edge/Orton would be the logical choice. On the other hand, Orton/Benjamin is a feud of two guys who are getting over very well with the crowd, and both would have everything to gain from a major rivalry (a la Rock/HHH from '98). IMO Orton/Edge would be a better match, but Benjamin is very good in his own right, plus both have trained/worked together in OVW. When the tag team with Benoit runs its course, what is Edge to do then? He blew through Kane. Flair isn't/shouldn't be working in solo matches right now. Rhyno's a face (and still not doing anything of note). Batista is a possibility. If he turns heel, and Edge/Michaels feud would be huge, IMO. Now, from Edge, we move onto his "brother", Christian, who has resurrected himself by playing the perfect foil to Jericho in this storyline. He got the girl, he's got the muscle, and last night, he mentioned that he wanted to be World Champion. While it's obvious the feud with Jericho isn't done yet (probably one more major match left to fully blow it off), was the comment just an off hand one by Xian, or is the WWE planning on a Benoit/Christian feud? Personally, I think that now is the time to capitalize on Christian's heat, and a run against Benoit would serve to cement him as a serious upper midcard player. The matches will be good, Xian is good on the mic, and you've got Trish and Tomko with Christian to extend the story a bit (odds are stacked against Benoit, Tomko can work tags against Benoit and ??, etc.). However, Michaels is getting the shot next week, and Triple H is still whining about wanting a shot. So when exactly does Christian expect to get his due? It seems like we're seeing hints of good things to come, it's just a matter of when, exactly. Any more thoughts on where these angles could be headed?

LMAO @ the MST3K reference. Hopefully Matt Hardy fares better than Hal Warren did in that film.

The necrophilia angle was Sept. of '02, more than a few months ago. As for last night, when watching Kane stalk Lita in the ring, one of my friends said "They're gonna say he reminds her of Katie Vick". I personally don't get how a Kane/Hardy feud can be good for either guy (Kane's character is dead and Matt is over but buried), and I doubt even a swerve like Lita hooking up with Kane and making Matt the jaded babyface out for revenge would work.

While I like him in the Evolution group, and I can see why they do it, I'm not too into the Flair/Batista tag team. They've got a better reason than most people to be teaming (Flair mentoring him, and being in the same stable), but I don't see them as a "full fledged" tag team. I agree they should do more with BIG DAVE~! (credit to Figure 4 Weekly for that one), because he's slowly turning into Rhyno (big power guy with good presence that winds up on the losing end of most of his matches).

Glad to have you amongst the ranks of the preps, Rip. Oh yeah, where was I... I'd be "JC" Joey Christopher, the fun loving hearthrob babyface. Basically, I'd be me.

Punk caught heat for stirring up shit with Teddy Hart a few months back. There's also been murmurs of him not fully supporting TNA as much as he has ROH, Zero One, etc. Dinero I've no clue, they probably are just searching for a role for him. Also, the last time they were on, they were feuding with Raven, as they'd turned on him and joined up with Father Mitchell.

Actually, it's only been about four. He came out on Thunder during the New Blood/Millionaire's Club angle in spring 2000.

Just picked up the newest Stuff magazine, featuring the girls of The OC, and a major spread on Bonnie Somerville (who played Sandy's co-worker Rachel earlier in the season).

We all know what I'm buying.

It's now officially Zack Malibu vs. Crystal for the OAOAST World Title~!

The usual suspects (guys from The Clique, Russo, Raven, Douglas) tend to have the most negative worker relationships.

Crystal faces the winner of the Zack Malibu/Sly Sommers match for the OAOAST World Title.

Yep. As for forgetting about this show, hell no I haven't forgotten. I still tape it every week, and stand by my opinion that it's one of the best written shows on TV.

Celebrate, bitches.

The "Fuck It" remix with Eamon and the girl trading off is pretty good.
