Cena should never ever ever ever ever face Benoit again. Benoit already jobbed to him for the #1 contendership... there's really nothing they can work from. There's nothing they could do with Cena/Benoit that they haven't already done with Cena/Angle (Brawler vs. Technician) or Cena/Taker (Young Punk vs Old Vet)... or Cena/Benoit (#1 contender)

Nah, it's cause Benoit is a Robot who no one cares about and Cena is The Main Event At Wrestlemania . For one day I had hope. For one day I thought the WWE might actually do something good. That day was about a month ago and since then my optimism has slowly-but-surely gone down to "Benoit is never going to get his".

Neither.

Hows that Angle/Cena feud goin Roll?

The WWE could fire anyone they wanted to - it's just a matter of "do this" "oh, you don't?" "ok... you broke the contract" oooor "piss in this cup", but they're probably worried about a race lawsuit if they fire Henry... that, and Vince is (more than likely) a Henry mark (given his "legitimate" strength and size).

Dustin Runnels Used to be really Good with Booker T. It is a real Shame. Damn you "injuries"!

Ok... aaaand?

They need more moves named after Xmen characters... "He just got hit with the Mr. Sinister!"

You've missed some really fucking good stuff Ed. Re-watching all these episodes and watching it evolve and some of the foreshadowing they do - it's just brilliant stuff. Plus the shows hold up (and in some cases are MUCH better than they were the first time around). I watched some of "Billy" the otherday - that was sooooo much better than I remembered. Gunn telling Fred to knock him out while Wes went straight to being Bad was probably the turning point in the luvtriangle and the effects are still seen today.

Well let's see... Steph "left" with the alliance in 01 - came back soon after with HHH. Steph "got kicked off" by HHH after Mania, came back as Smackdown GM. Countdown till Stephdown returns..

That's like a person without any arms or legs saying "well, at least I have my hair".

"Eh, they straight up fed Nathan Jones to Benoit so it's not like they just FORGOT about him." Ok, let's go back and read what I posted... *waits* *waits* *waits* *checks watch* *waits* Ok, get it? Keyword there, "more". I didn't say they ignored Benoit, they just didn't plaster him up on WWE dot com and sucked him off like they did with Cena. Benoit "beat" Nathan Jones - whoopidyfuckindo. Cena "came back from behind against all odds to slay the nasty giant". Of course, first they'll have Cena vs. McMahon and devote 90% of Smackdown to it. Ooooh, smell the charisma. Meltzer will probably call it the feud of the year. What I find funny is that Eddie was WAAAAAAAY more over in the Summer than Cena is now and it took them like 3 months to realize it.

You know, some people could really care less. This is WWE, not fucking Toryumon. Yes, and those people are called "morons".

The planted the seeds for both Cena and Benoit vs. Lesnar - however it was Cena whom they spent more time on building on Smackdown.

"Now I am going to give the world my take on Russo, you see Russo, the way I see it, you are a skinny little Italian kid growing up in the Bronx. In New York, and your papa said like every young man in New York, you wanna be like Bruno Sammartino, the champion of the WWWF, and you said, Papa, I like Bruno, but he's a little too slow, and Papa said, you gotta be like Bruno Vinny, and you said papa Papa papa, Then daddy bought you cable, TBS, and one day your daddy heard you going PAPA PAPA, and Daddy ran in, horrified, and said TURN THAT OFF, and you said Papa, I wanna be JUST LIKE HIM, WHOOOOO! Your Papa said NO VINNY, YOU CAN'T BE LIKE THE NATURE BOY, YOU CAN'T STYLE AND PROFILE, YOU GOT NO MUSCLES VINNY, YOU GOT NO GIRLFRIENDS, You CAN'T be like the Nature Boy! WHOOOO! Oh Papa, please daddy, let me be like Ric Flair, no, no! I'm going to be like him some day! So NOW, it's all rolled around, you're a big skinny little punk with no muscles with a check book, and you think you've got the power to make people's lives come and go... So you walk in the door and write the checks, in reality you're just a kid who wants to be like the Nature Boy! You wanted to a kiss stealing wheeling dealing limo riding jet flying son of a gun who kissed all the girls in the neighborhood and made the cry. Instead you were a skinny little boy with no muscles, no girls, [and] you haven't got me." -Ric Flair

Of all the questions to ask ("What the fuck?" "Why is Dragon on Velocity?" "Why is he not facing a cruiserweight?""Why is Dragon jobbing to Ohaire?" "What the fuck?") you decide to inquire about the move?

"A new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs... what was once a captivating, trend setting program has now deteriorated into a cliched... let's be honest, boring snoozefest that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor, and that's why I'm here!" -Chris Jericho "If your Olympic Hero were to use the Worm in the 1996 Olympic games, it would be so embarrassing to all the other athletes - and our country, mind you - that the USA would have finished behind Guam - perhaps dead last - and you all would not have an Olympic Hero to look up to - and that would be a shame, and you would be FORCED - you would be forced to cheer for the Detroit Tigers - it's true - it's true." -Kurt Angle

"So Mankind, the Rock has said it before, he'll say it again, if your fat cellulite ass is feeling salty, then the Rock will be your tequila, so what the Rock wants you to do is sprinkle some salt on your hand, take a lick, and take a shot of the Rock, but don't get drunk, or else you'll wake up with the Rock's foot in your ass and his fist in your mouth if ya SMEEEEELLLL--what the Rock--is cookin'!!!" -The Rock

"For years and years and years my cohorts, tag partners in matches, buddies were (Jackie) Fargo and Tojo (Yamamoto). I didn't realize it until after I wasn't around them anymore how much they dominated my thinking, but they really, really, really dominated my thinking. They could color my opinion about talent. I always thought, I'm the boss, I run them. In fact, they ran me. When I went to the WWF and when I sat down after I saw it, as diplomatically as I could, I pointed that out to Vince. Vince was sitting where I had sat for years. Vince doesn't realize it. People, you see, who have a real strong personality - and I think I do - are more vulnerable, than somebody who has a tinge of timidity about them. A timid introvert, he'll sit and weigh everything and think everything through. The extrovert, he sometimes takes three steps before he thinks about it and has such self-confidence that he goes, 'Hell, I know where I'm going.' So, it's the old saying the easiest person in the world to con is another con. The extroverted dominant leader is sometimes, in fact, the easiest person to lead and manipulate. So Vince still to this day doesn't realize how much of his thinking is manipulated for him, his views on things." -Jerry Jarrett, 3/2/97 Torch Talk "Vince had this woman up there when I got there, boy you talk about a death knell to the company, she was horrible. The more I tried to point out to Vince that this woman is poison, hell, the stronger she got in the company. What happens is everybody would jump through rings for Vince. Vince would sneeze and three people would bump into each other trying to get a hanky for him. So this is what he sees. When you're sitting around the dining room table for the booking meetings, Vince would come up with an idea and three people will tell him three reasons he didn't even think of why it's the greatest idea that's ever been thought of. That's what Vince sees. Vince will give little speeches about wanting 'independent thinking' and people to speak up if they disagree. All of them will say, 'Yes, Vince, that's why I like working for you. You are so open to everything.' So that's what Vince sees. What he doesn't see is this finely honed skill either before the fact or after the fact of swaying Vince around so he comes up with this idea that is someone else's idea, but that he thinks is his idea. He turns on a wrestler thinking it was his idea, but it was someone else's. They'll do it with little innuendo because they know McMahon. It's the most fascinating, incredible thing to watch. Some of the insanity you have seen go on, you'd think, 'Why in the world would they do that?' Well, I just told you why." -Jerry Jarrett, 3/2/97 Torch Talk Ok, it's not a promo, but I had to post it for reference

Cena should have done it when he was struggling to get up at the end of the match. It's like Austin giving Shamrock the finger during the I Quit match - totally needless.

"He's Gone"

I want to know the difference between "X-pac Sucks" and "Eddie Sucks"... is it an emphasis thing??? Kill BART, KILL Bart, Kill BART, KILL Bart... Ah the Simpsons, is there anything you don't cover?

*mutters* Be sure to start a "3 count" chant for Tank

Big show, having forgotten his lucky ball, REALLY needed to pick up that spare.
