I have been watching some late 97 and early 98 Raws from the last batch upload, mostly as background noise while I do other things. I had not watched any of these since they aired and they are as horrible as I remembered them being. Undertaker, HHH and Shawn Michaels are so bad at promos that it is embarrassing.

Yeah, the Michaels promos from the screwjob onwards are awful, It's weird because, as he settled into a natural heel role through 97, he was great. But his run through November 97-Mania isn't great at all.

Weird situation with King of the Ring where it was kind of announced last night as a flashed logo, only to have the first half of the tournament tonight and the second half live Tuesday on the network. 1st round is:

 

Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus

Neville vs. Luke Harper

R-Truth vs. Stardust

Dolph Ziggler vs. Bad News Barrett

 

Feels like an obvious win for Barrett as an extension of his character, and an appetite suppressant for lack of an IC title picture right now. Sheamus has already won one of these and none of the other options make sense, unless they want Ambrose to become even more of a comedy goof. Also kind of odd that we've seen so many of the potential finals (Barrett-Ambrose, Barrett-Neville, Ziggler-Sheamus) in recent weeks. For novelty alone I'd be inclined to go heel v. heel in the finals and just have Sheamus and Barrett lariat each other for 10 minutes.

Anyone watched Foley's "stand up" show ? I thought it was pretty unfunny overall. I cracked a few smiles here and there, but... not much interesting stuff that hasn't been heard dozen times before, in much funnier fashions.

And damn, Foley looks sad moving around like a broken down old guy. And Colette, well, hasn't aged very gracefully either to be honest that or the WWE makeup departement really made her look older than she is, which is also very possible).

The thing about Foley is a good deal of what makes him look like a broken down old man probably could be taken care of with a knee replacement or two. The process is way less invasive than ever (my 86 year old grandmother-in-law had one a few years ago and was barely out of commission at all), but knowing his well documented thriftiness he seemingly would rather limp around than spend the money.

Hips are a little more involved than knees but it's still something that could be taken care of and would greatly improve the guy's quality of life. Hell, I'm sure he could even get WWE to foot the bill since they are always in need of good PR.
