What was the spot with Booker?

Boo for going to college.

I'm usually less bothered by remakes if they're using some type of source material that the original film used as well, ie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or all the versions of A Christmas Carol for example.

Obi-Wan also claims that Darth Vader didn't just betray and murder Luke's father, but was also a pupil of his before he turned to evil, the latter of which is a hard fit into the "certain point of view" speech that Kenobi mentions in ROTJ. One can find all kinds of little inconsistencies between the old and new trilogies.

Heh, Edge doing the Hardy gesture with his fingers.

That was weird. Doing an overrun just for a replay.

More?

Finally.

Apparently facing Taker in Chicago won't make you popular.

I was downstairs getting dinner, what are the teams for the 8-man?

Footage from this match will be used in the MITB hype video.

I see either an 8 man tag, a six man without Edge or Orton, or two sets of tag matches, Edge/Orton vs. Kennedy/Punk and Court vs. Hardys.

A strange, but solid promo from a current day Jake Roberts who has somehow de-aged from his appearance on Raw in 2005.

From NODQ.com I just got back from the Cleveland, Ohio SmackDown/ECW Show. Just the normal portion was taped off, and few seats were empty. Dark Match Miz vs. some guy billed from Jamaica named Koki Kingston or something close to that effect... Miz was booed big time even though he is from the Cleveland area. The Koki guy won it a match pretty much controlled by Miz. WWE SmackDown Taping The show opened with Vince coming out and wanted to get some revenge at Bobby Lashley. He announced his opponent with be Mr. Kennedy... and than announces he will also face... RANDY ORTON! Than he announced Lashley will face both of them in a Tables Match. A promo for Batista and Undertaker versus Finlay and Booker for the main event shows. Opening Match: MNM vs. Kenrdick & London The crowd wasn't too much into it other than booing MNM... Kendrick & London win. Chavo vs. Jimmy Wang Yang in a non-title contest. Wang Yang wins with his moonsault. MVP comes out and announces he will face the Heavyweight Champion of Lictenstein (who actually is a local wrestler named Johnny Gargano). MVP obviously wins in a squash. Kennedy & Orton vs. Lashley in a Tables Match Bobby controlled most of the match. He put Kennedy through a table in the corner, and tried to put Orton through a table doing a running powerslam but he just fell on top of the table. Lashley picked him up again, but this time the leg gave way and it barely broke. The ref rang the bell. And in an odd situation Lashley brought out another table, and did a better powerslam through the table as they rang the bell again. Looks like they will probably edit out the flub. Benoit vs. Helms Benoit wins in basically a squash. Jillian does the Kiss Cam and proceeds to sing... terribly. Booker and Finlay attack Bastista backstage, but the feed looked like it was lost. So they may reshoot. Booker and Finlay vs. Batista and Undertaker Only Taker came out as Batista was already attacked. Back and forth until Finlay decided to use the shileighlei and get them DQd. Booker and Finlay pound on Taker until Batista comes out to help. They decide to give Last Ride and Powerbomb together, but instead Batista throws Finlay at Taker and knocks him down. No Dark Main Event Biggest Pops 1. Bobby Lashley 2. CM Punk Most Heat 1. Vince McMahon 2. The Miz Lots of production problems it would seem. Another set of spoilers from PWInsider seem to indicate the Wild Samoans as the next HOF inductees.

WWE HALL OF FAME CEREMONY TO BE BROADCAST ON USA NETWORK Michael Chavez sent word that World Wrestling Entertainment will air the 2007 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will air on USA Network at midnight/11 CT on Saturday 3/31. -PWInsider.com

Apparently They're Doing Wellness Tests Today In an interesting bit of timing, there were quite a few Wellness tests given backstage at today's ECW/Smackdown taping in Cleveland, Ohio. One source estimated over two dozen WWE performers were given urine tests this afternoon. Since WWE doesn't give talent advance notice, there's no way to know whether the testing was already planned when the SI.com article naming several talents implicated in the steroid investigation broke yesterday afternoon. That said, it's entirely conceivable that a larger number of performers were admininstered tests in the wake of all the media attention.

I wonder how many people's hearts (both actors and writers) were really in the show after Hartman's death? I heard that Andy Dick basically believed the show didn't work without Bill, but went on regardless.

I wonder who on the roster isn't on something at the moment. Gonna take a guess and say Viscera's probably clean.

Lovitz really wasn't the issue as much as Phil Hartman's presence and the Bill character couldn't be replaced by anybody. Much of the best of interaction on the show as the likes of Dave, Matthew, Beth, etc going back and forth with Bill, and trying to replace such a tremendous dynamic couldn't be done, even with a comic actor as good as Lovitz was.

I'm working on a project in at the library, what's up with Orton and Edge's spots?

He's suing Sports Illustrated.

Well, CM Punk's chances of winning MITB just got better.

Yokozuna damn near kills a jobber on Raw circa January 1994

Did Foley even use those? In Have a Nice Day he said that he used either few or no pain pills in his wrestling career.
