Man, watching the tribute show now is just flat out creepy. Especially when Edge says "I don't understand things like this", you can't help but wonder exactly what he's thinking.

Honestly, I don't think I could watch a Benoit match anymore.

So who were the two co-workers Benoit was sending the text messages to? One obviously was Chavo, but who was the second person?

I can't see how they can tape 3 hours of TV, even if it's just straight wrestling matches, under the circumstances. This is so much more than the usual wrestling tragedy where someone with a history of drug use is found OD'd or dead of some form of chemically induced heart failure. Even with Owen it was just a freak accident and not the result of a murderous rampage. More power to whoever can perform tonight, even JBL seemed pretty shaken up. I guess at least Smackdown can rely on being taped to help move things along.

Jesus Christ..............

Yeah, fuck WWE and fuck Benoit for putting his family above a hastily thrown together PPV. I don't think there's one person who wouldn't tell their boss "hey I gotta jet" if something goes down with their family. Man, as fucked up as the business can be at times (ok, most of the time), I end up hating wrestling fans the most. Yeah, I really hate this guy right about now. Wonder if he's okay with WWE's choice of ECW champion now.

My Spanish is rudimentary at best, but I'm pretty sure Dandy and Pierroth were the captains here. That replay of Pierroth folding in half on the apron after the rope break was pretty sick. It's kind of ironic that for all the flying moves in lucha, the ropes would break on something so basic.

Oh man, the feedback on WO makes me want to punch babies in the face: Yeah, fuck WWE and fuck Benoit for putting his family above a hastily thrown together PPV. I don't think there's one person who wouldn't tell their boss "hey I gotta jet" if something goes down with their family.

From the WO PPV preview: Benoit ended up not making the show, so lets hope wildpeg didn't lock Nancy in a closet and greet Chris at the door with one of her dresses on.

Not that Hansen wasn't awesome, but his punches and clotheslines looked good because he was legit clobbering people half the time since he was close to blind without his glasses on.

Bah. You can go to Luchawiki and search for their bios and see the pics there. Suffice it to say all three Mysterii have the same general mask style so it's not as if Hijo is trying to ape his cousin.

Was Bischoff telling him what to say in WCW? Cause I liked the scholarly-if-kinda-molester-looking Tenay from WCW educating the masses on all the cool Lucha dudes who were jobbing on Nitro that week. The problem with TNA Tenay is that announcing teams always have one guy who's levelheaded and one guy who's yelling and screaming. Tenay seems like he's trying to outscream everyone else and when he's sitting next to Don West that is just not going to happen at all. Ironically I like West as the David Crockett on 15 cups of coffee. He clearly likes his job and you can't help but to get into the action a little bit more when DW is marking out like a 5 year old.

Meltz in the WON: So I guess that means Dave or one of his minions lurks either here or at DVDVR?

I think it's just the Mysterio family mask style. When Sr. was still masked it was the same style as well. Rey Sr masked: The Family Mysterio:

One thing you have to hand to TNA, they have the best looking title belts right now. ROH's look like someone copied the Watts' UWF belt for their backyard fed.

They probably just offered the same plan anyone could buy directly from a HMO. Being a pro wrestler would put those kind of plans out of the reach of anyone working for TNA except for the upper main eventers.

To me, I just can't buy into Morishima as champ. Try as they might to get him over, all I see is a guy who looks like a fat Japanese girl. He looks like someone the WWF would have jobbing on a MSG show in the 80s. ROH just hasn't done a good job replacing all the talent they lost IMO. I just don't get all that jazzed to see random dudes who are practically interchangeable. TNA I think is just a matter of people realizing it is what it is and at this point is never going to be anything more. They're the current generation's version of the late 80s AWA only with slightly better booking.

Also it was a good example of how Terry Funk makes everyone he faces look like a million bucks. Sure, Terry's faced some of the best ever but he's also had some less-than-stellar opponents and he's made them all look like champions.

One could argue the point that Sherri's death got more attention than Bad News, who didn't even merit an on screen graphic. Hell, having the announcers mention it rather than just having the graphic put it above any non Owen/Pillman/Eddy death.

All I have to say is Don Kernodle's 80s-homemade-style shirt might be the greatest thing on the whole DVD. We need more of that in wrestling. Makes me wonder why he seemingly fell off the face of the planet after 1986 or so.

I admit, when I saw this on the listing I was like "WTF is this, and why its it on here?" but once I watched it I instantly remembered it and how awesome it was. It's easy to forget how subtle JR could be in selling indignity, or anything else, without his usual 100 decibel style he does on RAW now.

You know, I'm thinking it's probably not a good idea to allow people who get that easily worked to buy stocks. Also, wouldn't these people upset about Vince being possibly dead having an effect on stock price also worry about the Chairman of the company acting crazy and doing a power walk while wearing electric pink zoot suits?

From WO.com:

I'd argue Killings would have the best case anyone could have, didn't he get hurt in a TNA ring only to have them basically tell him to fuck off when it came to helping pay his medical bills?

Hearing the song in a commercial started my brain to wonder how funny/awesome would it be if when HHH makes his grand return the first thing you hear is the strains of "Ode to Joy" as he comes out in full 1995 blueblood snob gimmick. I mean, he's already went back to being DX Hunter, why not go back two more years in the time machine?
