I can name a ton of shit from just recently. Hedeinreich, Matt Morgan, Gene Snitsky & Viscera all having jobs. Molly Holly, Gail Kim, Nidia & Jazz all getting fired effectively killing off the women's division, while we're still stuck with people like Lita. Jamie Knoble losing his job upset me. I know he asked for it because he felt he should be punished but it still bothered me. Matt Hardy was disheartening to hear too. WWE signing Nova, sending him to OVW forever, then bringing him up as fucking Simon Dean. Hogan returning just to squash Hassan. Austin returning just to squash Hassan. Teasing the split of Hassan and Daivari after they'd only been together for about a month. The Diva Search. The Diva Search having a sequel. The Diva Search losers getting jobs anyway. Christy wrestling on Wrestlemania. Wrestlemania from this year. Eddie Guerrero's performance at One Night Stand. Batista turning into a comedic face and getting new music. I think I was the most upset over the blowoff to both Stephanie/HHH/Angle & Jericho/Trish.

Whereas Victoria is nowhere to be seen (after her heel turn) and Jericho's gimmick gets scrapped (because apparently he now cares again). I'd rather watch Mark Henry. At least it's entertaining when he uses someone's head to wipe his ass.

I assume he's on the back-burner until after Vengeance. He still has the Money in the Bank shot but he lost his Gold Rush match against Batista. Since HHH came back and decided to book himself into a title match, Edge has to sit idly by. I'm sure we won't hear from Edge, as it pertains to the main event, until after the Draft Month is over. Then we'll have to sort everything out. To be honest, I'm more disappointed that they didn't capitalize on Victoria from two weeks ago. She could've been super over. She did what people have been wanting to see for a long time. She called all the Diva shit bullshit. She beat the slop out of them and she nut-kicked Lawler, which I'm sure we've all wanted to do. I mean, she couldn't really have an opponent since Lita and Trish are both hurt but she could at least be on the show. Maybe show Stevie consoling her or something? It'd tie in with his previous nights ONS appearance too.

I thought that this would be a good topic of conversation, so I'm going to extract it from the Raw thread and make it a thread of it's own.

Who knows what the fuck Vince's thinking. He has to know that the average viewer would see Lilian and think she was desirable. Then he alienates the fans by having Lilian get together with a five-hundred pound, african-american, contact wearing, mohawk having, non-wrestling, previously fired, POS. Viscera's singing wasn't that great. His dancing was worse. He's the worst case of comedy that you can have and WWE consistantly keeps going to the same dry well. I admit, I've laughed at him a couple of times. It's the absurdity of it all. WTF is all this leading to? A match with Lilian? It doesn't make any sense. Angle-Stephanie worked. Well, up until the end. It was believable. They looked like they could get together. Same with Trish-Jericho. This is just fucking stupid.

I actually disagree with that. It seems like Lita is hotter now than she's ever been. Both in terms of physical appearance and crowd heat. She has the whole "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" thing going on. Then she gets heat from the smart fans because of the Matt Hardy drama. Then she gets heat from the marks because she's a slut and "cheated" on Kane. I mean, it's not like we're supposed to remember that Kane basically raped her and forced her to marry him after impregnating her. If we're not supposed to remember Muhammad Hassan losing to Chris Benoit on Raw after a botched bell shot, then we're definitely not supposed to remember that. I'm liking Edge more than I've liked him since his Smackdown Six era. I really enjoy the "Money in the Bank" character. This is definitely the best he's been since coming back from injury. Both in and out of the ring. I'd rather watch Edge & Lita than watch WWE try to force Big Vis comedy onto me. Like it's believable that Lilian would like his big ass? C'mon, this isn't The King of Queens. I'm not buying into an interracial couple with a four-hundred pound weight difference.

That was a very bad episode of Raw. I'm glad that Angle is on Raw again, I suppose, but that was a very lackluster way to end the show. Triple H seemed to be shoved down our throats more than usual this week. It was ridiculous. Glad to see WWE capitalizing on that Victoria heel turn and storyline. Did WWE just up and abort Jericho's not-giving-a-shit angle? Suddenly he wants to impress Bischoff and get a title shot? *snuh?*

I knew that Eddie broke his nose. I could tell that something was wrong when he rolled out of the ring and stalled. You could tell that there was more to the story by the way that he sold the Crossface though.

He'll never fade away if he's always a topic of conversation.

I thought the show was phenominal.

Well, if that's the case, RVD has been selling this for months. He's been shooting on the company since well before his injury. I legit just don't think he gives a fuck. He's riding that sum-bitch out for the paycheck, and if they fire him, he can do his thing elsewhere. I'm anticipating the RVD shoot more than anything on the PPV I think.

If they want Smackdown to be the stronger show, they shouldn't consider sending Triple H there. A majority of wrestling fans that are currently following the WWE product seem to have a big resentment towards "The Game." I know if he were to leave Raw I think that the TV would get better. I'm a fan of his in the ring but I'd enjoy the TV shows a lot more if there was less Hunter.

I don't think he cares. He's already pretty much been buried. It's not some huge secret that RVD feels that he was a victim of the glass ceiling. Hell, he was hot as fuck after he first showed up in WWE. He had a couple matches with Jeff Hardy that were hot and a hardcore match with Tommy Dreamer that seemed to be a big deal at the time. Hell, I even remember him having a match against, I think it was Kurt Angle, for the World Title. It was on Raw. Rob was unique and WWE missed a golden opportunity. Even if he does have shitty forearms. Rob probably figures if they fire him, he can just spend more time at Five Star Comics while working Ring of Honor throughout the week. Rob could probably do pretty well on the Indies, much like Raven.

I'm still thinking that John Cena will end up going back to Smackdown as the last pick. It'll be something squirrely. I hope that Raw gets Carlito as well. That'd be fun. Ship Jericho off to Smackdown.

I actually expect Cena to end up back on Smackdown before this draft is all said and done with.

Seems like a pretty lackluster pick to me. HHH getting rid of one of the only wrestlers that currently seems to have his number. Conspiracy theorists unite! To be honest though, Benoit hasn't done a lot for me in a long time. I'm not sad to see him go.

If she has a good eye for talent, why is she your girlfriend? Ooh, ice burn.

Or someone better to come along. Hey, it might happen. Besides, I don't think that even WWE will call him the best ever. He hasn't made them enough money. They're prolly still dubbin' that shit on Hogan or Austin.

Not everyone has income.

Why can't we just have a differing opinion? There's "no way" that I can think Triple H has good punches? I've seen Jim Duggan punches and they didn't stand out...just like him in general. I know you're on an old Mid-South kick right now but that doesn't mean I share your opinions. Heh.

You assume I haven't seen them? I think Trips does a good job, for the most part, in the ring. It's outside of the ring where he doesn't shine.

See, I disagree with almost all of that. I think he's a great wrestler. I think his bumping is fantastic. Look at his selling for Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner. Not to mention Shelton Benjamin and Chris Benoit. His selling is good too. Especially when he's going to go over in the match. It makes it look like he overcame everything and still won. He's sold well for everyone from Randy Orton to Batista. I like his punches too. His move set? I think it's the best in the company. Especially in the longer matches where he incorportates legwork. His match with Booker T. at Wrestlemania is a great example. I like how he uses a lot of knee moves. In fact, the only thing I'd change is to have him knee his opponent in the midsection insted of kick them before the Pedigree. I agree about the mic skills though. Average at best.
