What's making me look at this more glass half full is how a bunch of little things were different from how WWE has been running for a while, in addition to the Punk/Bryan/Ryder as the new faces of WWE push: - Wade Barrett being booked to get his heat back against Orton. - They're breaking up the ridiculous monotony in the women's division by starting an Alicia Fox push that started with her getting a clean non-title win over the champion (treated as a bigger deal than most WWE non-title match wins). - There was only one comedy segment and it was actually very funny. - The Cena/Henry/Kane angle was noticeably shorter and tighter than the usual in ring interview -> angle segment, especially for one involving Cena. - They were suddenly pushing the tag division as a big deal on commentary, with talk about how it's heating up and Air Boom needs to scout the Usos and Primo/Epico. - Cody and Sheamus were both kept strong with squash wins. - The babyfaces making their entrances through the crowd as they were being mobbed was a great touch to make them look like stars. - A Raw main event had a dive train from the face team. I might be forgetting other things, but in general, it felt like a much different promotion with a different person booking the TV which was paced much better than Raw usually is.

So WWE suddenly has a clear direction pushing younger, fresher guys all show long with Punk/Bryan/Ryder presented as the clear top faces in the company, Cena was relegated to an odd segment with Kane where it looked like he was going to be sexually assaulted before being smothered that was impressively produced in terms of time management, the tag team division is suddenly supposed to be very important, they're clearly giving guys more latitude stylistically...what the hell happened and why didn't it happen at some other point in the last 5 months?

Wrong folder Curious to hear how Dundee's is. 250 pages for $22 from a guy who's not always forthcoming makes me hesitant. Reviewed Kanyon's for BR: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/921023-...-is-a-must-read

Also, The Lion King had been on VHS for months, having hit theaters a year earlier.

Do I have to be the one who makes the "Jerkass Homer"/"Jerkass Bryan" reference?

Both had WCWSN matches with Armstrong during that period. I'm not sure if the Liger match was 2/3 falls, though.

No, Cubs and Joe are different guys, but Cubs's website used to host Joe's podcast.

There won't be a lot at all, I just adored this specific joke.

Thanks. We actually have a TON more "John Laurinitis hires the wrong ..." jokes, so expect that to be a running gag. I agree that we probably overdid it early on, but if it's slowed down a bit and pops up once a week or so (as opposed to three times in a day), that may be better. What he said, though I have a timely one I'd like to get to before next week.

Headline color changed to black as suggested by Jingus, added a comment section using Disqus, plus I formatted the Google ad at the bottom the look better. And more funnies to come.

When I google the pull quotes I only find references to the PWI post. Maybe an email press release went out?

The others, well, they're quick jokes that the headlines would give away

I'm using the default coloring in the template for now. Every shade of gray I placed around with looked wrong, so we might switch it to black or a dark blue, but we'll see. Also, everyone make sure to click the "older posts" link at the bottom, as we made sure to have more than a page worth of stuff when we unveiled the site. Twitter account is @YoungScallions and the Facebook page is here (dunno how to make a custom username for a non-person Facebook page), though the automated news feed app I'm using to power them is an hour or so behind where it should be. I'll look for alternatives.

Trivia time: This match, inserted into a live Raw with different announcers, was actually taped weeks earlier as a In Your House dark match, which is why the entrances are cut out and they never shoot the aisle. While this match was airing on Raw, Chris Benoit got his first tryout match of the three days of tapings, this time against Bob Holly. Pretty weird way of doing things.

Yeah, and Mid South was where he became a big star. It's not like Florida was his first push.

Magnum left Mid-South for JCP, not Florida.
