Byte This Report 6/28/02

 

 

The show opens to Paul Heyman's promo during Lesnar's Coronation as KOTR on Monday, including Van Dam's interference. ("Urinating all over the coronation"? That is funny).

 

We now go to studio to only Kevin Kelly, as Dr. Tom is on vacation. Droz checks in with his "two cents". Kelly says KOTR was great and Raw was tremendous (Is he serious?) Droz says he doesn't think KOTR was one of the greatest ever because it was a little slow, but he does think the RAW main event was great. Kelly comments on Vince's ruthless aggression comments and Droz says guys have responded and stepped up to the challenge. Droz puts over John Cena and his effort against Kurt Angle. Kelly agrees and says Cena showed no fear and put on a great show. Kelly says fans get excited about new and fresh characters. Kelly mentions Jamie Knoble and Nidia. Droz says Vince has always tried to advance new talent (Vince McMahon does this?) Kelly mentions how when Droz came in they were putting over new guys like Guerrero and Benoit. Kelly says that now we are going to see similar new guys going over today. They mention the hilarious Goldust skit on RAW and Droz says Goldust is extremely entertaining and is getting over with fans. Droz says one little thing can make you a superstar. Kelly says Booker T is growing in popularity and he looks forward to seeing how he will grow. Droz and Kelly discuss Taker fighting Jeff Hardy in a ladder match and Droz says he thinks Jeff can win (Yeah Right). They then discuss Kurt Angle and mention how he made Hogan tap out for the first time in career. Droz says Hogan should have gotten a chance to break the hold when he got to the ropes, and says Hogan was amazing for not tapping out sooner.

 

Kelly says it was great to see Edge back and Droz says Edge is amazing to return so soon, and he knows going out with the injury killed him. Droz now leaves. Kevin Kelly now goes into his "giving props out" segment. He says compliments John Cena and calls his debut the best in the company since Tazz's. Kelly says to expect great things from Cena. Kelly also says how great Deacon Batista looked as well, shedding the sleeveless shirt, and getting new attire. Kelly also says Angle deserves a lot of credit for taking out Hogan and making Cena look great. Lesnar is praised for winning the KOTR and for standing up to Paul Heyman. Kelly explains that people want to see Brock's human side. Kelly says Hogan has been so unselfish and he laughs at those that said that Hogan would keep down the younger guys. Kelly finally says he applauds Jericho for his comments regarding the internet and says other wrestlers are scared to attack internet writers, but Y2J is not afraid to speak his mind.

 

We now go to Howard Finkel. Kelly and he exchange pleasantries, and Finkel mentions the death of John Entwistle of the Who. Kelly and Finkel then discuss the Mets and say that Bobby Valentine has to go. Finkel then ask the question, "Where was the first ever KOR tournament held and who won". If you know the answer, you win fun Shopzone prizes. Finkel equates Brock Lesnar's, John Cena's, and Bastita's pushes to Bob Dylan's song, "The Times They are a Changing".

 

A caller mentions that the RAW in Edmonton was great and he says bravo to Chris Jericho for saying what he did. Kelly says wrestlers are intimated by the "smart" fans and doesn't want to step on their toes (A collective laugh echos throughout thousands of computers.). The caller says he is a great wrestling fan and that he spent $2000 to go to Wrestlemania. It makes him mad that people who never took bumps critique matches. The caller and Kelly decide to banter for a while and they discuss Bret Hart and his stroke. Kelly and the caller give their best wishes to Bret and his family.

 

Tazz now joins the show. Tazz is incoherent for a while, babbling randomly. Tazz explains that he had surgery on his ribs to remove what he calls a "big fat lump". He says it had been bothering him for a while and yesterday he got it removed. Tazz then puts over Red Hook surgeons and how tough they are. He then gives wonderful details about the doctor pulling then lump out of his ribs with limited anesthesia. Tazz says he doesn't believe it is malignant and says Paul Heyman probably planted it inside him. Tazz says he can't work out for 2 weeks, but will still be announcing. Tazz and Kelly rank on Marc Loyd and Tazz tells a story about how Loyd lost his CD's. They make sure to tell us Michael Cole is not gay. Tazz leaves now, but attacks Kelsey Grammer for stopping the filming of Tough Enough III. Tazz then calls Grammer a hermaphrodite and Kelly days that Grammer also passed the ruling to outlaw the pledge of allegiance.

 

We now get a replay of the Undertaker injuring HHH's elbow with a chair. HHH joins the show. HHH says, a month ago, one of the Undertakers chair shots hit his elbow and drove a bone chip into his joint, making him unable to fully extend his arm. It also made him unable to throw punches and when his arm was grabbed it felt like his arm would snap. HHH says he knew when it happened that he needed surgery, but wanted to get through the PPV. HHH says this is minor compared to his quad injury, HHH says he is rehabbing and should be back in about 3 or 4 weeks, but might not be make the July PPV. HHH says he has to wear a cast because someone might come up and jerk his arm (I guess some idiots have death wishes) HHH then talks about his throwing out the first pitch at the Redsox game and how the game was rained out and he couldn't do it. Kelly says HHH's match with the Undertaker at KOTR was tremendous (Were we watching the same match?) HHH says it wasn't a "stinker" of a match but it wasn't what he would have liked. He says he didn't do justice to the Undertaker (Like removing him from our screens permanately). HHH says he is privileged to do what he does and wants to take advantage of it while he can. Kelly mentions HHH dealings with the New World Order. HHH says never say never and that "talking" with Shawn Michaels and the guys would be interesting, a Kliq reunion of sorts. HHH leaves now. Now Big Country and Kelly discuss the crotch of the Kurt Angle cut out the have in studio.

 

We now get a replay of the finish to the RVD/Lesnar match on RAW. Brock Lesnar joins the show (man he speaks a lot and doesn't sound bad at all). Kelly congratulates Lesnar on his KOTR victory. Lesnar thanks God for his accomplishments. Lesnar talks about his times in OVW and how he enjoyed it, but was on a tag team and was glad he could move on to dark matches and become a singles wrestler. Lesnar says that he is still humble and the KOTR victory hasn't overwhelmed him. However, it is only a stepping-stone, he says his main goal is to be WWE champion. Kelly mentions Austin's leaving and asks Lesnar about the Austin situation. Lesnar says he didn't find out until show time that Austin was gone and says Stone Cold was an icon and he probably is just tired (Tired of what is debatable). An e-mailer asks if success is coming too fast for Lesnar and is he resented in the locker room. Lesnar says you can't succeed too quickly and he is determined to be the best, and says everyone has been very nice to him in the company. He says he gets along well with everyone. Lesnar has been wrestling since he was 4, and was influenced by Kurt Angle. Lesnar, who is from Minnesota, was pitched the idea of thinking about wrestling for the WWE by Jesse Ventura. Kelly then says Lesnar should run for governor of Minnesota, but Lesnar says he isn't politically inclined. Kelly then says that Shane took Lesnar down in a shoot match, Lesnar laughs and says that is Shane's story. Kelly talks to Lesnar about the birth of his daughter and Brock proceeds to go on about about God and his daughter as we see a clip of him putting Van Dam through the announcer's table. Kelly asks about Paul Heyman and Lesnar says Paul has been great to him and helped him out a lot. Lesnar says Paul is annoying, but a great guy.

 

A caller calls in and asks Brock about being compared to Goldberg. Lesnar says he doesn't know Goldberg, but he says it is a compliment to be compared to him. However, Brock says he would have no problem taking Goldberg in a match. Kelly mentions how Brock can do a shooting star press and will he use it on TV. Brock says we might see it at Summer Slam or Wrestlemania. Kelly asks Brock about the Olympics, but Lesnar says he is done with amateur wrestling. Lesnar says he thinks Kurt Angle would be making a big mistake to go back to the Olympics and he thinks it would be very difficult for him to win there again.

 

Lesnar is asked about the flight back from the UK. Lesnar says he and Mr. Perfect were and still are good friends, and that he and Curt were just "horse playing". Brock said he and Curt started messing around and people on the plane hadn't seen such horseplay before, and hey took it the wrong way (Like idiotically fearing for their lives when two 200 lb men roll around on an air plane. How stupid of everyone). Lesnar then says it was basically just a coincidence that Hennig was let go the next day (Yeah right). Brock admits the whole incident was a mistake however. We then get more Brock vs. Shane McMahon ramblings from Kevin Kelly. Lesnar talks about how he grew up on a dairy farm in South Dakota, and that he was always wrestling or working as a kid. He puts over farm work and then we get the oh so funny bestiality comments from Kevin Kelly. Brock says that in both their primes it would be a great match between him and Kurt Angle, but that he would win. Lesnar puts over John Cena and says he has a bright future. Lesnar now bids farewell to the show. Brock was very impressive.

 

Kelly now talks about Jericho's comments and about how right on they were. Kelly says he wants to get Jericho on Byte This in two weeks to discuss his comments.

 

There is no show next week because of the 4th of July weekend. The show ends with a replay of the KOTR 98, Undertaker v. Mankind.

Jericho on Byte This? Oooh, boy I'd HAVE to see that show.

[Guest Brian]

"Kelly explains that people want to see Brock's human side. "

 

Wasn't the problem was that he was being portrayed as to human in the ring?

 

"Finkel equates Brock Lesnar's, John Cena's, and Bastita's pushes to Bob Dylan's song, "The Times They are a Changing"."

 

Where are Angle's, RVD's, Jericho', and Eddie's pushes?

 

"HHH says he has to wear a cast because someone might come up and jerk his arm."

 

Jerk his arm!

What's wrong? Can't take the "Heat?"

 

It's Okay for us to Criticize them, but they can't give their opinions on us?

 

Shoot on Me all you Want Jericho!!!!!!
