It's a known fact Bruin fans do not like hockey <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Curses!! Foiled again! Those damn Bruins!! Seriously, I feel bad for the Bruins and the Celtics. Nobody gives a rat's ass about them in this town. If it ain't Red Sox, it better be Patriots, or else nobody cares. It's too bad, really. Oh well, more tickets for the rest of us. Back on topic: I'm happy that the NHL is back. It's not my favorite sport, but it's one of the best sports to watch in person, and I know it has a very strong following in other parts of this country and Canada. Let's just hope that they don't follow in the path of baseball and screw the product trying to get fans back.

It was a joke skippy, settle down. I don't like hockey? Tell that to my Boston Bruins ticket stubs for the past seven seasons.

Apparently Hassan's direction is Velocity, b/c they don't want him on Smackdown.

Yeah! We want sacrifices! Broken hearts! Crumbling financial situations! "It's time to shake things up again!"

They're pretty much all the Tag Division has left. If you give the titles to Heidenreich/Animal, you can pretty much just eulogize the division and call it quits. I guess the love is there because there's nowhere else to put it. "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

Anything that keeps Animal on TV for more then a week is a bad idea.

NH what?

No Hassan, boooo.

Early votes for MVP? Ortiz - 2/3 with an RBI Tejada - 1/3 with 2 RBI Ichiro? Teixeria?

I was kinda expecting a bit more emphasis on the "Star of the 80's" vs. the "Star of the 90's," who's better type of thing. It could still happen, considering Vince's nostalgia kick lately. Considering Shawn's lack of heel heat (even face pops) last night, I wouldn't be surprised to see this evolve into a contest between two icons, similar to what Hogan and Rock did, only with Shawn as the "heel" that people still love.

That'd be one fucked up angle for them to come up with on their own. And why put Kane in Matt's place? I think the cheating events were probably real, they canned Matt, then once they realized that it was interesting to the fans, tried it out w/ Kane, then went for it.

I can't wait for Hassan's promo pointing out all the people who assumed they were Arab-American terrorists- and that's all I'm going to say.

Didn't you read?! OMFGz0r BRET HART CUMING BACK OMG PUSH BENOIT OMG I HATE HHH Anyway- I concur w/ those who are pleasantly surprised- I didn't think the WWE had it in them to come up with something rather, well, surprising.

OH NOES BRET HART COMING BACK! OH NOES!

Oh man, that shit was great.

I just loved the talk between Hogan and that kid taking out Brooke. "Have you had an AIDS test?" "Yeah ...... negative." "Hmm." That shit was hilarious.

RVD was out for a few more months, last I knew. Randy, I am not sure of.

Smackdown? I dono, they're all the same, really.

Good read.

Well, that answers that question.

[waiting for witty Paul London/squash joke]

The way I see the whole US Title picture is this- some of these upper-midcarders are going to have to get lost in the Tag-Title picture for a while. Remember that- the tag title division? Anyway- Benoit, OJ, Christian, Booker, Hassan, JBL. Let's assume Hassan goes over 'Taker and starts a program with Batista (interference from Randy keeps Taker busy). That leaves Benoit, OJ, Christian, Booker and JBL. To me, Booker just screams Tag Division. If not, put him in a program w/ Christian. Benoit/OJ and JBL- kind of depends on who wins at the GAB. If Benoit wins, JBL can try to avenge OJ, maybe even separating the two. If OJ wins, Benoit and JBL can have a feud over something and OJ can go back to being useless. That's a lot of singles, uppercard feuds though. This is why some of these guys should spend some time in the ailing Tag Division.

Magic Carpet Ride. Can we actually talk about the show? There's already a thread for the London/Terrorist/Undertaker angle. Some things I'd like to talk about- -bWo -Christian in the same spot on SD as he was on RAW -Benoit in the US Title Picture?

Some folks beat me to it.
