Oh no, what happened?!
I'd say the InVasion angle itself was the biggest "fuck you" Vince ever gave to the fans. He buys ECW and WCW, refuses to buy out the contracts of the real WCW stars, combines ECW and WCW and turns it into another McMahon family feud, then puts his own top guys in the ECW/WCW group, and then brings in all those stars you wanted right after the angle ended.
To be clear, Vince took the biggest angle in wrestling history and turned it into a feud between he and his kids and made his own stars the major stars of the ECW/WCW team. And then brought in all the stars after the angle ended, and had them all job to HHH at some point.
Booker, Steiner, Goldberg, Nash, Flair. All lost to HHH when they came in/back in.

Well yes
Austin's first few runs were built around being screwed and finding some over the top way to retain
Sometimes, he didn't

So this Fandango stuff is turning into a real thing outside of the WWE?

For the next week, maybe. Until he gets a visit from Vince's shovel.

Nice piece from TV New Zealand news on Evie, who made her US wrestling debut for SHIMMER last weekend;

I caught a showing in NYC and the director happened to randomly be at the theater to answer questions.
I wanted to ask him why his movie was so boring. It felt like it went on for 7 hours
Do you play? You should play with me and some other GAFFers!

Watching the TNA X-Division PPV - opening match was a bit disappointing, TJP (Puma) & Lince Dorado were there only to job, Christian York fucking sucks and the Gut Check guys (Alex Silva & Sam Shaw) didn't do much to impress. Jimmy Rave got to hit Ghanarhea though! I always liked that move;
Whatever happened to Matt Bentley/Michael Shane, anyways? I thought he was pretty damn talented back in the day, trained at the Texas Wrestling Academy, the real-life cousin of HBK, got an early start in ECW & FMW in Japan, showed good charisma and had some great matches with Paul London in ROH...then he signed for TNA and I remember fuck all about his run there, so it must have been quite something.
I doubt it, but I'm sure that this guy lives in eternal hope;

He was the dominant heel of the X-Division for like 2 years, then formed a shitty team with Kaz, turned emo with Raven, then vanished, then would randomly show up for a set of Impact tapings every other year. I think he pretty much retired and started a band or something.

Bangai-o, I think the time is right to make a Fandango appreciation thread in the OT. Strike while the iron is hot.
ECW on TNN 1/14/00
Guilty as Charged 2000 results:
C.W. Anderson defeated Mikey Whipwreck
Danny Doring, Amish Roadkill and Simon Diamond defeated Nova, Kid Kash and Jazz
Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy defeated Little Guido and Jerry Lynn
Angel defeated New Jack
Rob Van Dam defeated Sabu to retain the ECW World Television Championship
The Impact Players defeated Tommy Dreamer and Raven to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship
Mike Awesome defeated Spike Dudley to retain the ECW World Heavyweight Championship
Joel "I once knew this girl from right here in Georgia, some said she was a petite little runt, and while that girl may have been a bit on the small side, that chick had the world's biggest ____(muted)". Cyrus cut the mic at the last second. He came out and got a "You suck dick" chant. The Office was SHOCKED at Joel's comments last week. After an emergency double secret meeting, there are new rules for Joel.
1. The usage of dirty middle names to get yourself over is no longer allowed
2. Sexual innuendo will not be used in general
3. No more smart remarks towards country/Western music. This includes anything related to Dallas, Garth Brooks, Dukes of Hazard, Inbreeding, and ROOOOOLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEERRRRJJJJJJAAAAAAAMMMMMMM!!!
4. No negative remarks toward ROCKET BOWL! It's like Rock N' Roll Bowling and they have to put it over.
Joey was mouthing Cyrus' promo while he was doing it, which KILLS me because it happens so often in wrestling. How hard is it to follow the promo in your head instead of actually lip the lines of the script until it is your turn?
Super Crazy vs Little Guido
Joel thought Super Crazy was Elian Gonzalez. That topical wrestling humor. I swear these guys have been in a match with each other at least half of these shows. Was the roster really that thin at the time? It's hard to do a write up for the same match over and over. It's the same match. They aren't changing things up at all. Crazy wins with a tornado DDT.
TO GUILTY AS CHARGED. Fonzie said Sabu would leave ECW if he didn't defeat RVD. He lost, but what, exactly, does "walk out" mean? RVD cut a terrible promo after the PPV bragging about his win.
We're then shown highlights of Dusty Rhodes getting beaten up at GAC by Corino and his group, which now includes Tommy Rich. The locker room cleared out to get Rhino off of him. Corino left with Dusty's hat.
TO THE BACK. Da Baldies say this thing with New Jack isn't over. "My heart don't pump Kool Aid, Jack." Wat.
TO GUILTY AS CHARGED. More recaps.
Tajiri vs Jerry Lynn
This match doesn't matter, because it is all for Joey and Joel to argue and bitch about Cryus. Jerry won with a cradle piledriver and then back to recaps.
This show fucking sucked.

I'm making signs for Raw this monday (which reminded me of my poor art skills). I made a Cesaro one, but I'm also trying to draw up a GAF sign too. Anything else I should write on it besides the symbol?

Yeah, I feel I should apologize for my city in advance. WWE would probably love the textbook reactions though if my experiences from previous years tell me anything.
This one?
That's the belt, many thanks.
Top Ten WWE debuts according to them:
I think Kane should be higher. Also, love how Jericho debut will always be loved eventhough he hated it himself.

All right, I think Dolph has finally gone too far with the selling.
These both killed me. I was literally facepalming the other night when I saw Bully Ray do that. So bad.

This looks like it's being played backwards. Someone should reverse it to see if it looks any better, lol.
