I have a funny feeling that any plans for Monty Brown to win the NWA title off Jarrett will be scrapped again so they can do a lengthy Jarrett vs Christian program, which really is the worst use for Christian as he should be used to give Styles, Joe, Daniels and Brown the star rub, rather than be Jarrett's new opponent to leech heat from.

Reporting this incident like it was a shoot when ROH has put footage of it on its website and played it up big as a storyline is embarrassing reporting by Wade. It's pretty clear Wade trusts Sapolsky too much and it's easy for him to pull the wool over Wade's eyes and use the Torch as a propaganda tool for his promotion.

I see Luger has learnt some humility during his very public fall from grace, because his rep amongst most of his peers was that he was very aloof and arrogant, almost like he was above professional wrestling. Your later observation that "This is a guy practically groveling for work, and it's kinda pathetic" sounds spot on, but unfortunately for him it's too little, too late.

These Coliseum Video matches are worth considering: 03/11/91 Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Perfect 04/14/92 Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels 07/21/92 Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels (Ladder match) 10/12/92 Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair (Hart wins WWF World Title) Some other WWF matches that should also be considered: 11/25/92 Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels 8/27/95 Shawn Michaels vs. Razor Ramon (Ladder match) 6/23/96 Shawn Michaels vs. Davey Boy Smith 4/25/99 Steve Austin vs. Rock

Sounds like petty jealousy and insecurity to me. It must eat Stephanie up inside when she hears about Dave Meltzer praising OVW TV shows so highly, while criticising Raw and Smackdown so regularly. And if Heyman is re-signed later this year there is always the chance that if Vince gets desparate enough he'll bring Heyman back who won't be shy to tell him when Steph's ideas are crap. At least I hope that's the case. I hope she isn't so clueless or deluded to believe Heyman's booking in OVW is genuinely horrible.
