BorneAgain

Of all three WWE programs wasn't the one to use to get back into wrestling. Probably not Raw either, now that I think about it.

The male ass epidemic spreads.

Umm...

If Test would have been coming back to Raw and not ECW, it wouldn't have surprised me to see them make him the father of Stephanie's kid.

If this Kelly thing doesn't work out, they should just play up the Beecher resemblence and make Knox an insane former prisoner.

They used a generic rip-off on the Rise and Fall DVD.

Smackdown: *Mark Henry comes to the ring and claimed he was robbed last week. Chavo Guerrero comes out on the ramp and they go back and forth. Chavo hits the ring and Henry splashes him. He goes to splash Guerrero a second time but WWE World champion Rey Mysterio hits the ring, but Henry overpowers them both and leaves them laying. *WWE Cruiserweight champion Gregory Helms defeated Super Crazy, DQ. Psicosis hit the ring and got Crazy DQ'd. Crazy and Psicosis brawl with Crazy getting the better of it. *There was a backstage segment with Booker T, Sharmell, and Teddy Long discussing the Steel Cage Match later tonight. *The Pitbulls defeated ?. *They did a backstage segment with Bobby Lashley and WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas discussing the Cage Match. *Finlay defeated Matt Hardy after throwing Hardy into an exposed turnbuckle. *Ken Kennedy defeated Gunner Scott. The Great Khali hits the ring and chokeslams Scott. Khali challenges Undertaker at the Great American Bash. *Mike Mizanin hyped the Steel Cage Match. *Vito pinned Simon Dean. *Backstage, Booker T and Sharmell were talking to William Regal and Finlay, but we couldn't hear what they were saying. *They aired a vignette on the Lashley vs. Booker T feud. *WWE United States champion Bobby Lashley defeated King Booker in a Steel Cage match by climbing out of the cage.

I will say that as much as Raw is bitched out for 2002, it was really only the last 4 months or so (after Taker, Benoit, and Eddie jumped) that it suffered, and even then with Bischoff as GM making matches and the atmosphere in general, wasn't too bad for its time. Really its antectodal stand out stuff like HLA, Katie Vick, and HHH getting handed the title that stands out, but guys like Jericho, Christian, RVD, and Bookdust kept some entertainment value going.

I'm just curious about those reports about a month back talking about how they wanted to do Harry Smith/HBK as early as Summerslam. Guess those plans are nixed unless they make Harry some heel ally of Orton's.

I'm telling you folks turning Sandman heel via martinis, black cane, and tuxedos just so they can use the Richard Cheese version of "Enter Sandman" is the way to go.

Jay: Clint Eastwood returns as Dirty Harry in Robo-Canine-Cop-and-a-Half... 2. Chief: Alright Callahan, your partners have a way of dying on ya, so I got you a new rookie fresh from the academy. Rookie: Hi. *explodes* Harry: That's a new one on me. Chief: Alright Callahan, I got some new partners for ya: a woman, a cute little kid, an ugly old dog, a dinosaur, and a leprechaun. Leprechaun: *does a jig* I'll be your lucky charm. *explodes as well* Harry: Aw, swell. Jay: Mom. Dad. I never made you laugh. Franklin: Well, I did chuckle a bit when you tried to eat that bird and fell over the cliff. Eleanor: No Franklin, that was the Roadrunner. Jay: No, that was me. Franklin: Son, I'm going to run for Vice President. And I'm going to be honest with the American people, I'm not going to wear this toupee anymore! [Rips the hair off the top of his scalp] Jay: Dad, you don't wear a toupee. Franklin: I will from now on.

IIRC, Steve Austin beat Dustin Rhodes for the US Title in 2 straight at StarrCade 1993. I want to say Angle beat Benoit 2 straight at one of the UK ppvs, but I'm not sure. I remember the Angle Benoit one except I think Benoit won Insurrextion 2001, Benoit pinned Angle two straight falls.

Please tell me the context of this quote, or else its going to bother me all night.

I can't believe, I'm actually liking Henry's work. Don't think he should be champion, but damn if he hasn't improved.

Once Booker and Lashley are done, (and hopefully Booker's involved with Rey) Kennedy/Lashley could make a solid feud for GAB.

Around 22 minutes I believe.

That's gotta be the first time Booker's busted out a figure four in forever.

Its little stuff like the knee conversation between JBL and Cole which is a great example as to why Smackdown is a better product in my opinion.

And how is an ambassador gimmick heelish anyway? Even if he does a "Quebec better than US" stance, that's no different from his La Resistance days.

I have no idea. Ever since I saw that it wasn't "Finlay brings him out to beat up on the opponent" but more like "Finlay hates the little guy by likes him beating up his opponents" I've been trying to figure out exactly where it can go. Squashed by Batista perhaps? Khali vs. Little Bastard in a steel cage match? Boogeyman. You know they can't resist.

I really hope we get some King's Court vs. Benoit/Rey/Gunner tags in the fall.

Never thought I would be grateful for Khali but this Tatanka-Dean ***** star classic has changed my mind.

When was the last time Cena lost clean? Beyond NYR which was technically not dirty but still had shenanigans thanks to the Elimination Chamber match. I want to say the the 8 man U.S. title elimination match with Kenzo, Haas, Gunn, Reigns, RVD, Dupree, where Booker pinned him, but that's the only thing that stands out to me.

JBL really sounds like he's enjoying himself out there and sounds comfortable which is a good sign. "Like a young Mascaras" Good use of history.

That's a tilt a whirl... something. Armbar, or abdominal stretch looked like.
