I wasn't talking long-term in the sense of the next two or three months, I was talking long=term like the next two or three years. I know they have plenty of ways to take the character from here as tonight was his debut and nothing is played out. However, you can't do it forever. Look at Rikishi. If Nick Dinsmore ever changes his character a year or more down the line, they have to come up with a believable reason.

Road agents are also responsible for booking the venues, hotels, flights, and that sort of thing. They have a lot of responsibilities.

The thing that always got me about the Radicals was the love for cowboy boots and tight pants. When they came to the ring in street gear, Eddie, Benoit and Saturn almost always sported them. I agree that Batista is stylish, and you could say that about all of Evolution. It's part of their gimmick. The Rock is also very stylish, but he has a personal stylist for him. He usually doesn't wear the stylish outfits on wrestling programs, though, so I wouldn't count him.

Cassius Clay is from Louisville, KY. You may know him as Muhammad Ali.

There's a guy in my town that has probably the same rap sheet. He just looks like someone's clean cut grandpa, though. Interestingly enough, I've done time with him.

Not like you know who I am, but what the hell, grade me.

I'm almost certain that there isn't more than three people who know who I am, but I'm interested in a grade anyway. Maybe it's my meticulous nature, but it definitely piqued my curiosity.

I got alcohol poisioning on Jager several years ago, so I can't stand the taste of it anymore. If I think of the taste, I can get sick from memory. I do the occasional Jagerbomb, though. That is a shot of Jager dropped into a glass of Red Bull. My friend does a Jagerbomb with 3x the Jager and 1/3 the Red Bull. As for my favorite liquor, I go with Crown Royal, or if I have the extra money just dying to get spent, I get Crown Royal Special Reserve.

Oh, and btw, I missed all but the first two issues of Broken City. Zsasz would you mind giving me the details of the arc? Thanks.

I seriously hope you're joking about the cloning and all that shit.

I think the thing that separates Storm from the elite wrestlers like Benoit, Eddie, etc., is how safe he is in the ring. I'm in no way suggesting that Benoit or Guerrero are dangerous, but a lot of Lance's offense looks weak. He has good reversals and technique, and he is a hell of an athlete, one of the best in WWE. I think if he were given the greenlight to get over soley on wrestling if he was given the time, he could. Some people said he has been dogging it for awhile, but when he was with Val, he was consistently putting on good matches even while working in that dance and shit. I remember the leap to the top turnbuckle on a whip to the corner. That match was damn good.

When Benoit was coming down to the ring, I thought it was an elaborate hoax by Evolution and Shelton. I hope it is still not that way and Shelton turns on Benoit. They HAVE to keep Shelton as a face due to his reaction. I was disappointed at the beginning of the show when he was portrayed as a face. I think a good way to start a singles career off is as a heel, and let them evolve into a face over time. However, as soon as the ME started, I was glad Shelton was a face. Let's hope they don't fuck it up.

I stated in my post the reason that I would put Booker and Jordan with Teddy Long. It's a continuation of his character that he does so well. He definitely isn't broke, and we definitely don't need to fix him. Sure he can probably make a successful transition to being "just a good manager of heels," but why take away his best trait of his current character?

Even though Booker doesn't necessarily need a mouthpiece, I think Teddy Long should manage him and Orlando Jordan. It continues Long's "Whitey Holding Us Down" gimmick, gives even more of an edge to Booker, and he can teach Jordan a lot by working with him. Keep in mind that I am not suggesting Jordan gets a huge push.

It would be so cool for Heyman to get hired by individual wrestlers on both shows to be their agent/manager. Great idea! One wrestler, say RVD, could hire Heyman first and then mention to someone else backstage how good Heyman is. After that, it snowballs to where more and more people are getting Heyman's help. Do the ECW break after that. Here is who I would have him manage on both shows: Raw Shelton Benjamin Tajiri Rhyno Smackdown Charlie Haas RVD (heel turn) Paul London (heel turn)

He's obviously heading for a heel turn.

John Hennigan, who used the name "Johnny Blaze" for one week on Raw, is using the name "Johnny Spade" as his wrestling name in WWE. The weird part of this is OVW has a wrestler named Johnny Spade. They are not the same person, and if you go to http://www.ovwrestling.com, you can see them listed separately. My question is why would they do this? I think Johnny Spade sounds okay, but why take the exact name of one of your prospects? WHen he comes up (if he ever makes it), he will have to change his name. OVW has always had guys wrestle and establish a gimmick only to have a new one when they came to WWE, but this is just plain weird.

Nope, I just checked and Ghost Rider's name is Johhny Blaze. The Human Torch was Johnny Storm. Edit---Beat me to it.

I could be wrong. Anyone know which character has the Johnny Blaze name?

You would think they would know better than to use Ghost Rider's name in the first place with Gewertz and Hurricane around.

I remember an interview with Brock on "Piledriver," the wrestling radio show, where someone asked Brock what he could bench, and he said, "Whatever I want," and then laughed. He followed that up by answering, "Actually, I can bench almost 600 pounds."

So stupid to have Triple H even in this poll. Former Smackdown Superstar? He was in one match and didn't even make one show before getting traded back.

Well, I think they drafter Triple H to have a huge name come up in the draft, show Evolution losing their leader, and have a wrestler that could realistically be brought across in a trade to Raw in exchange for more than one wrestler. They needed to put more wrestlers on Smackdown, and they accomplished that. They couldn't afford to bring across a main event or upper card guy from Smackdown and realistically get two to three top guys in exchange.

I'd like to see Rikishi go to Raw and Hurricane go to Smackdown. They don't have to be in the same trade, but they should both switch. Have Rikishi team up with Rosey who is no longer a SHIT, and have Helms drop the Hurricane gimmick and team up with Moore.

I don't think HHH will be heading back to Raw at all. The thing with HBK saying it wasn't over between him led to him costing HHH the WWE Title last night. Also, it's a good bet that Michaels is turning heel. They will be in Canada, where Shawn is nowhere near a face, where he faces Benoit in his hometown. HHH will be happy to be on Smackdown and go after that title for awhile.
