Yeah, nobody but HHH, JBL, Bob Holly, Jerry Lawler (how many times has he been rehired?), HBK, Angle, and most likely Trish (can you imagine the stories she could tell if she ever got fired?)

Trish is known to be outspoken, to the point where she bent some noses backstage for a girl caring about booking/writing. Plus she's probably as untouchable as a female can get in WWE, so I'm sure she could get away spilling some minor beans like "I won't be at Wrestlemania".

Not that I believe it's really her, but it's not like the real Trish has been doing a hell of a lot lately.

Why is everyone so dead-set sure HHH is moving to SmackDown? Him leaving RAW goes against everything he's spent the last few years setting up.

Weren't the first couple months of RAWs taped at the Hammerstein? Hell, some of the houseshow crowds they've been drawing aren't too much bigger than what was at the PPV. People in WWE are acting like they never saw a crowd excited about the product before.

It's amazing that so many people in WWE were amazed at seeing the ECW experience in person. How telling is that about the company?

http://www.chikarapro.com/ That should answer some questions for you.

I don't ever see a situation where HHH would leave RAW, unless there came a time the show was going to go off the air. He's spent way too much time having the entire program built around him to start over on SD. I'm thinking Batista will win the HIAC due to some hijinx designed to protect HHH (like Flair turning or someshit so that HHH has an excuse for losing) then Batista goes to SD with the HHH Memorial Championship. Of course that leaves HHH free to bury Cena so that A) No one gets to be a bigger star in the company on his watch and He gets to hold the actual WWE championship which they probably think would silence the smarks that bitch about the RAW belt being created for him.

I guess it's probably due to him getting old, but what distracts me when Hebner's reffing is while he still takes bumps like a pro he sets them up in a way where he might as well announce it over the PA that a ref bump is forthcoming. It seems to be most obvious in RAW main events where he positions himself in a way that the only reason he'd be standing where he is would be for a ref bump.

It's sad when you consider that WWE has under contract some of the best writing/booking talents of the last 20 years, yet they (the company) only listen to people named McMahon.

Whats the beef with Steph and Heyman? It seems she has an almost paranoid grudge against him. Did he shit in her gym bag or something?

Sandman's theme was definately vital to his gimmick, his pre-match ritual was almost longer than most of his matches, and the crowd singing along to Enter Sandman while he shotgunned beer to the music was one of the coolest ECW experiences.

The only wrestlers who's themes were a vital part of his gimmick were Sandman and New Jack, and since there's no way New Jack was going to be on that card, all they really needed to get was Sandman's. Also, isn't kind of funny that Angle of all people would be transfixed on that when he's the only guy in WWE who's entrance has that type of crowd involvment (obviously not on the same level of course).

Watching Smackdown made me realize that despite being light years better than any other SD! diva (and despite rumors about MNM only getting a push for her), Melina's probably never going to get to Trish Stratus levels in WWE because she's *gasp* ethnic looking.

That would be silly to package them together, since anyone who'd want the PPV probably already has "Rise and Fall". Why make them double-dip?

I bet Rey getting booed for doing his WWE spots will get edited, plus the "fuck you smackdown" chants.

It's really bad during Randy Orton's entrance, his cascading pyro looks like sprites from an Atari 2600 game. I'd be interested in a copy of the ECW PPV, I'm in the camp that thinks the offical DVD will be edited (I bet the JBL-Meanie stuff will get cut).

I remember having the same problem when Family Guy came out, disc 1 of the first set was messed up in the first two copies I bought. Considering how DVDs have been more often than not the only bright spot the WWE has to offer, it's shocking they'd release their top show in shit quality.

I'm glad it wasn't just me, I got WM 21 from Netflix and I thought I got a messed up copy.

Maybe he was tearing up because Vince kicked his basketball away.

I guess after all the drama, Edge/Lita was a one night stand gone horribly wrong.

What exactly is Keller "rocking"? Defending poor widdle JBL from the mean internet people? He goes from saying "WWE takes this very seriously" to "He won't even get a slap on the wrist". The only reason anyone in WWE would be concerned is that Meanie could potentially sue them since he's not a full time employee.

I just have the mental image of Rude being dressed in one of his pimp suits he wore when he was DX's bodyguard, knocking Warrior silly, then adjusting his tie and walking away. I would of loved to see Bad News whipping 3 people's asses at the same time. I know he got a silver medal in Judo, but they must have been attacking him one at a time kung-fu movie style.
