Thanks for the Fish

Who is one of the most technically sound free agents? Good call. I was going all fanboy dreamin' for a minute. Opening segment wasn't bad. Cena vs Batista is a big money match. I didn't like Batista slamming Punk though, what other champ would be slammed and not head to the ring?

...to call the Saturday Night Main Event taping that is, according to Ross's official website (jrsbarbq.com) Well at least this is one benefit to splitting up the longtime duo - bringing them back together for special events. I'm coming around to like Foley and Ross together, but Cole and Lawler are horrid. I wonder if they'd consider Ross and Lawler calling WM, or at least the ME's - the main events need Ross.

Too bad Kevin Thorn and Ariel weren't still around...

There is no way Prinze would be willing to put in the hours required by the writing staff. Of course Vince has a hard-on for main stream/Hollywood types so maybe Prinze will get some special treatment.

Any idea on who this is - I'd I was to throw out a guess I'd say Daniel Puder. It really could be anybody though...

Anything more ever come out regarding Trevor Murdoch's firing?

There should also be the Jericho/HBK blow-off(hopefully not a blindfold match), Kofi vs Burchill, Henry vs Matt Hardy, Katie vs Mickie, Dibiase/Rhodes vs Cryme Tyme and some big gimmick match with Punk, Cena, Batista, Kane and JBL. I don't think they could have HIAC and EC on the same show because both are lowered from the ceiling and you can't have both.

Yeah, it looks like Truth is going to use MVP's legit background. Then again they tried to go this route with Shelton Benjamin once as well. Still not feeling the name though. The Black Pope has to be wondering who he pissed off. THE Brian Kendrick doesn't fit with Ezekiel - it was just a bad pairing. That jacket he wears is a heat magnet though, it being so damn cheesy. Kendrick might look a bit like a young Pillman, but he doesn't have the character to really make that comparison work. Also this heel turn would have been so much better if he actually turned on London rather than being split with the draft and all off a sudden he's supposed to be some big prick heel because Foley tells us he is. HHH didn't need a top opponent for Summer Slam considering he won't be the ME, and likely won't even be second last on the card. Khali is a good place holder.

Ron Killings wouldn't be used because Vince can't trademark that. Second Generation wrestlers luck out in this sense. R-Truth seems to be his name, I don't know if it's supposed to be Our Truth, but if they were trying to go for womething like that why not D-Truth, to sound like The Truth...

He isn't completely healed and is currently mired in a contract dispute as well.

I love it a PG show about people beating each other up, but don't cuss or talk about sex because little Johnny needs to be protected...

It seems like ECW is lining up a few feuds - Henry vs Hardy, Bourne vs Guerrero, Dreamer vs Delaney, and the rumored Finlay vs Knox. Miz and Morrison will probably feud as well, since there wouldn't be anybody left on the roster to feud with, unless they use the talent sharing to feud with a SD! tag team (I'd kill for a Stampede Bulldog vs Miz/Morrison feud). Will Elijah Burke ever wrestle again? Teddy Long has something planned for Ricky Ortiz as well...

I think R-Truth is garbage. I'd actually prefer K-Kwik over it and that name was shit. Ron "The Truth" Killings was pretty bad ass.

Did they say what Killings name would be? Another site I cannot recall said he was going to be called R-Truth...

Tiffany is HOT. AS. HELL. And I didn't hate Ricky Ortiz this week. This segment wasn't in the spoilers so I wondered if the NTI was dropped.

The old belt is the same design as the old ECW belt. Vince killing that belt tonight was the deathnail for the old ECW ECW has been dead for years. ONS was brilliant, and it WWECW had a slim chance when Heyman was booking and Angle was champ, but it was apparent that Vince had no designs on it really succeeding, or if he did he has a short attention span.

"Evan from Heaven", "Air Borne", "Bourne to be wild" His entrance music should start with air raid sirens. Was he one half of the "Air Devils" in ROH?

Delaney should have got the bodyguard instead of Kendrick. And eventually it would come out that he really didn't want the bodyguard but the bodyguard made him hire him for 75% of his salary. Sorta like a bully taking his lunch money every day.

I like the look of that title. However Atlas is horrid on the mic, I wonder if they brought him in to make Adamle look better.

The Dirt Sheet is often Must-See on wwe.com. Sometimes they go the way of the fart joke, but other times it's really good.

Mysterio is not fully recovered yet AND is in contract squabbles with the WWE. I agree that Jericho should try and nose his way into the title scene since he believes HBK is retired. Punk needs a heel to play off of to establish him as a face.

The problem with Raw is that they have two over heels - JBL and Jericho. Punk feuding with Batista is a bad choice because it does nothing to help establish Punk as a face. I wouldn't mind a mini-program with Jericho actually, as Jericho thinks his feud with HBK is over, so moves on to go after the title. At least it would give Punk a heel to feud with. Raw was pretty bad last night. Paul London looks like shit, he really needs a image make over. I'd give him his beard back and maybe cut his hair and give him black spandex pants or something. Cade's finisher is pretty good. Why do the girls have to scream and moan their whole match? Kelly isn't feeling the matches, you can tell she is thinking her spots that were laid out pre-match. Shad and JYG are actually looking pretty good in the ring. However Shad audibly calling for his opponent to kick out every pin attempt needs to go. JTG is really bulking up - look out for a Wellness suspension there. I think Dibiase really has a future in the business he is pretty good in the ring. I dig that falling fist drop he does. I think Rhodes and Dibiase need a third member, Joe Hennig looks the part in FCW, anybody know how he is in the ring? MOTN for me was the mixed tag. Nothing realy to add, but I remember it being pretty good. Kofi got crazy hight on that frog splash high cross body move thing he does. I've never been a big D'Lo Brown fan. I HATE what they're doing with Beth. Just let her be the Womans division dominator. Santino was supposed to be getting Developmental Melina Roucka as his valet, go with that idea. Maybe Santino will start getting some wins with Beth helping him out on the outside. That could be a positive I guess.

Maybe the reasoning will be because the referee was so damn stupid he DQ'd the heels for something that is done in every tag team match EVAR!

Nattie was told to change her hair color because the office thought she looked too much like Beth Phoenix. She went red to tie her to her father more, but is actually naturally a brunette.

Could HBK pull off being bald? He's rapidly heading in that direction and I wonder if he'd retire rather than drastically change his look. A heel cutting HBK's hair would be huge heat.
