I'm amazed the (W)WWF was able to draw what it did in the 70s since Bruno and Bob Backlund were probably the two most boring workers ever and between them they held the belt for most of the decade. I know Bruno had a big Italian following, but most of his matches are brutal to watch even by the standards of the decade.

Dark Journey.

That's Verne for ya, what do you expect from the guy who didn't think Hogan was champ material in 1983.

From Melz:

At first I thought it was Melina, and that they already decided to break up MNM.

ok, I didn't know the SD spoilers were out already, guess you can render my above post null and void.

Yeah I thought it was kind of ironic that Hogan-HBK-Cena was a better display of the evolution of wrestling than, well, Evolution.

SD has two more picks, no? I'm assuming Jericho will be one, and Batista will be another. Especially since Big Show was in the SD title match and now he's on RAW, Batista will probably be the one taking his place.

I was actually digging RAW tonight, Angle-Flair was better than I expected despite the near fatality on the blown pop-up superplex spot. I liked how Flair would try to outwrestle Angle and fail, and then Kurt would try to outcheat Ric and equally fail. They established that both guys had their aspect of the game locked down. Of course the only down spot for me was the Diva Bimbo Search. Christ, isn't Slaughter a good enough company man to deserve better than to get involved in this?

The thing about stadium shows: any seat not on the floor is too far to see anything, and even if you fill the floor it'll look bad on TV having so many empty seats.

Unless its some bizarre ploy to work the sheets for sympathy, the reports of HHH's phyical condition that trickle in would suggest to me he has maybe 3 years max left in the business.

Unless he has several quick switches (that would damage the title) I don't see HHH lasting long enough to beat Flair.

I say the SD title 6 way ends in a schmozz, and while Tazz and Cole are wondering who's the champ, Batista's music hits to announce the new draft pick. That gives HHH the chance to squish Cena, you know he's probably shaking like a junkie in withdrawl since he hasn't had a belt in months *and* he jobbed on a PPV.

He only did that once, if I recall, with the whole Mr America gimmick....and he was pretty much right since his opinon was that Steph was just using the gimmick to siphon heat.

With the Godfather making an apperance tonight and Juvy and Psicosis on SD, its like it's 1998 all over again.

Yeah he's not quite crazy enough to kick Vince in the balls yet, but he certainly has said less-than-flattering things about people who have the power to get him shitcanned but for some mysterious reason haven't.

From Da Melz: Well I guess if there's one day that a Hogan turn would actually work, it'd be July 4. Ironically this only further proves what Angle was saying in that interview Loss posted that the big names that only make cameos only show up on RAW and which just makes Smackdown look that more secondary.

I never can understand why some people get fired by WWE for not kissing Undertaker's ass at the proper angle, yet RVD can pretty much call everyone in the company an asshole and never seems to get any heat for it other than being held to the midcard. I mean, it's not like I think anything he says is wrong, but I'm amazed there hasn't been any punishment handed out to him by now.

I'm assuming Vince will sue the shit outta him as soon as it'd hit the streets.

"I ROLL TWENTIES, TOUGH GUY!!"

It's pretty much the consensus of everyone that's approached JR that he's an ass who smokes like a chimney.

Maybe they'll name the Smackdown title the International World Title. reference>
