The difference is that Torrie's issues were in the past (and sort of painted the wwe in a positive light), whereas Michelle's was in the here and now. I also wonder if she was told to lose weight by any of the higher-ups, or felt peer pressured to do so. Ashley is also terribly skinny right now, thought that could have been done for the PB shoot.

 

I'm not sure wwe put that much pressure on the girls. Obviously, they don't want them to be fat, but Melina, Trish, Ariel and Mickie are all full figured and still got pushed. I'd say Kristal, Ashley and Michelle might put that pressure on themselves .They were all in the modelling profession before wwe, so they probably picked up the "you can never be too thin" mentality there.

 

Is that why they referred to the Molly Holly character as fat?

It was Trish who suggested it.

Anyone remember Mad Magazine's WWF Merchandise Catalog? You could pay by cash, check or $10,000 bounty. In any case, this reminds me of some of the stuff they came up with there.

I remember either Mad or Cracked had an issue where Hulk Hogan ripped off the skin on his chest.

So do you think the HHH easter basket is wrapped in plastic or is it surrounded by it's own personal glass ceiling.

[claydude14 0]

I'd consider buying a HHH easter basket for novelty purposes.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Why didn't they pick a superstar who is actually active right now? Like, uh, John Cena or something.

[fazzle 0]

Actually there is a Cena basket up there too. Along with Rey, HBK, Batista, and Undertaker.

Something about a Taker Easter basket strikes me as odd.

There's nothing like celebrating Christ's resurrection with an undead dude who a few years ago crucified his opponents.

In that vein maybe they could sell little crucifixes with Steph attached to them for the holiday.

When did ticket prices for Raw spike to $70 for floor seats?

 

And does anyone know the presale password for WWE Backlash? They go on sale on the 21st.

I was just thinking...this is the first time there is no heels in the title match since Mania X7

 

Now for a crazy thought. Mania is 4 hours. Lets say Taker/Batista is last and Taker wins, but Batista turns heel after the match and lays out Taker. Then Orton, winner of the Money In The Bank match, uses his title shot right then and pins Taker.

 

WWE will be saved!

If we're going to throw out crazy ideal fantasy booking, here's one pertaining to the MitB.

 

The focus has been placed upon RRKO right and quite rightly so given their status as top heel players. I'd spend the next two weeks putting over the Hardyz skills at the game, Finlay's love to fight and Booker's sneakiness but put over that Punk is a rookie who never been in a ladder match (in WWE-Land that is) and doesn't belong there. Put over Punk having doubts about his place in the match and his ability to win it. Show complete shaky nerves, replaying about his childhood with his family (as he touched on in his early debut promos). The Smackdown before WM has a eight man tag match (Edge/Orton/Jeff Hardy/Booker Vs Punk/Finlay/Matt/Kennedy) and in there we see Punk's team0-mates refuse to tag him in. Punk's frustrations causes a lapse in communication and he eats a RKO for a lost. Punk tries to apologize but they all brush him off.

 

Prior to the match, CM Punk gives a quick promo to display a confused man without much to say. The match comes and it's the usual match. Punk will probably be over to start but not quite up to the levels of the other two faces. Punk builds throughout the match taking big bumps and even does a fine cut job. Gushing blood but still fighting. He even gets a nod of approval from Finlay while exchanging punches. The story is still about RRKO. It comes to the end. Bodies everywhere on the floor. Orton and Edge are the only ones standing and they finally erupt with punches. The ladder stands in the middle of it.

 

Orton hits a snap RKO but appears to injure himself in the process and has problems climbing and isn't able to take advantage. Edge awakes and quickly marches up the ladder to meet Orton. Booker and Finlay try to knock them off but Matt and Jeff shove them out of the ring. RRKO and The Hardys are on top of the ladders but Kennedy climbs up and super-plexes the brothers right over the ropes crashing through the tables. That leaves RRKO alone. They each reach for the briefcase and get a equal share of it and they push and shove. Punk finally arrives. Slowly climbs halfway up the other ladder. Kicks the ladder trying to knock them off balance and finally does so but in the process each men drop the briefcase right into the waiting hands of Punk. Punk scores the stunning upset and the crowd pops huge. Punk chants ring out. Punk has a tear slipping through the blood soaked face as he hugs the briefcase tightly. Punk passes Finlay, Booker, Kennedy and Hardyz on the way out and they all nod their heads in approval. Matt and Jeff exchange a hug. Punk poses on the ramp and slips out. Camera follows him through the backstage to be greeted by other members of the ECW locker room. Elijah continues to push for him to join the NB. RVD and the Originals give him a big ovation. This segues into the next segment of the PPV.

 

Later that night, it's the Lashley/Umaga match. Of course this match is overbooked to the max. Big WWE brawl here. Lashley is nearly dead but finally pulls the victory off. McMahon is dragged to the barber shop set and the faces proceed to shave him bald.

 

McMahon runs off screaming. Lashley, Trump and Austin celebrate some more in the ring. Trump walks out. Austin motions for beerfest to begin but before he can open the first beer. Punk's theme blares out. Big pop for that. He walks down with a confidence. He chucks the briefcase at Austin and screams "Ring the bell!". Lashley tells him the same. A quick five minute match occurs and Lashley, exhausted from the previous war (in the match, Umaga made a point to take out the neck). Punk noticed that. Punk takes a quick beating but he makes sure to attack the neck often. Lashley tries to set up for the dominator but Punk gets a precise timed knee to the back of Lashley's neck. Lashley's in pain. Punk quickly locks the Vice on. Lashley screams in agony. Punk pulls tighter. Lashley passes out. Austin declares the match to be over. Crowd loves it. Punk chants echo the stadium. Punk slips the title belt on his waist.

 

Austin calls for a beer shower and extends a can towards Punk. Punk looks at Austin dead in the eye and doesn't take the can. Austin is shocked. He offfers another and Punk repeats the action. Austin is now pissed. Austin decides to address this with a quick promo to point out his unhappiness about Punk's deicsion. He puts him over for a hellacious beating in the ladder match and for the balls to challenge the champion on the spot. Punk takes the mic away and finally rips into Austin with a classic sXe heel promo. Shredding Austin. Austin and Punk slam heads. Austin throws the first punch but misses. Punk throws one and connects. Austin stumbles back off the ropes and kicks him in the gut. Hits the Stunner. Punk rolls right back up and slaps Austin right in the face. The referees and officials storm the ring to seperate the two. Crowd is going bananas right now. Austin marches out with a pissed off rant. Punk smirks on the turnbuckle with his new title draped over his shoulder.

 

In the process makes Punk the biggest story of the night not just for winning the MitB or even cashing it in for the ECW title but for standing up to Steve Austin.

 

That'd be nice to see but like Orton turning and taking the title off a fully heel turned Batista to close the show, Punk's not gonna win the MitB, the ECW title and stand up against Austin. The closest thing is Edge winning the MitB and cashing it in against a newly crowned WWE champion, Shawn Michaels.

That was *hilarious*. Great find.

That certainly was brilliant, the big boot at the end was the icing.

It's good but it's a lot of Punk in one night. Also, you make the fans cheer for him during MitB and then when he beats Lashley and then you turn him Heel against Austin, I don't really think it's smart to do that after you've just made him extremely over.

 

The only way I can see Punk winning in real life is when Orton and Edge clash and the rest of the guys are exhausted outside the ring Punk climbs the ladder and he grabs the title. Orton will win, resulting into Cena/Orton/Edge match at Backlash.

AWESOME!

[AlexPuma 0]

I've been thinking lately about the Triple H vs. Cena match last year and I wondered how different would things be today if the crowd reacted differently. Instead of of the crowd being 100% anti-Cena and pro-Triple H, they've decided to totally crap on the match like Big Show/Batista match on ECW? Booing every move, every kickout, every comeback, chanting "You both suck!"?

 

Would Triple H still have turned face? Would Cena still be the number one guy as Vince didn't want him to be viewed as a failure? Would the main event scene be any different, if so for the better, or would we have seen Chris Masters with a JBL reign? Would WWE even see it as the crowd sick of seeing Superman Cena and Triple H main events, or they just saw that they chose the wrong venue for WrestleMania and had a smarky crowd?

[RonL21 0]

Ok....Im pretty sure im gonna buy One Night Stand tickets since they moved it to Jacksonville.....It'll be the first real PPV ive been to..(I went to the Beware of Dog redo back in 96 which was weird..they taped like one SuperStars and then did like two matches that got blacked out) The only problem i have is Judgement Day is only 2 weeks Prior....I just want ONS to have an Above Average Card...Im thinking it' gonna be Raw/ECW Heavy and I expect Judgement Day to be a SmackDown! Heavy Show

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

"I expect Judgement Day to be a SmackDown! Heavy Show"

Did they kill the Vickie storyline because they haven't did anything on it the past couple of weeks?

[slimm44 0]

Hawk 34's booking is good, except Trump is shaving his head, and not Vince.

[Jaxxson Mayhem 0]

No way in hell Trump gets his head shaved. Unless he's wearing a wig on top of his hair.
