LOL RAW Spoofing MNF opening!

I have to admit, that was amusing.

Other RAW question: when did Christian get new entrance music? And if you know that much, tell me who did it? It's rockin'.

Just tuned in. That ECW video looks cool. But I didn't see any highlights of New Jack. Oh yeah, who are those Arab dudes in the suits? I guess it'll give some cheap heat. PEACE.
 
Christian's theme is called "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blonde. It's on the new WWE ThemeAddict (Vol. 6) CD.

Also, the ECW DVD is very good. It had a lot of stuff I didn't know about and was interesting to see clips from the early days before I started watching it in 95. I question the match selection a bit, though, especially not having the main event from Barely Legal (Sandman v. Stevie Richards v. Terry Funk for the ECW title). Also, no matches with Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Cactus Jack, or the Dudleys. The feature is very, very good, however.

Not a great episode of RAW but
the swerve
was gold, and
HHH cutting 1997-era DX-style funny promos
was great.

Sure it was great... if you haven't watched wrestling for 20 years and didn't see it coming a mile away.... When it's been done as many times as the WWE has done it I don't call it the S word anymore.

"Oh man I thought Batista was gonna hit him!!!"

Seriously, was this the first time you've watched wrestling in 20 years?

First tragedy, then farce.
I saw this set up coming from last week.

Benoit has never lost to HHH in a title match (not sure if this is true, but they keep saying it is).

They started setting up this 'rift' last week. As soon as Benoit's week was up, I knew they werent going to give him the belt, but I was pretty sure they werent going to let HHH beat Benoit. They also arent going to start a Batista/HHH feud because HHH is going to keep the title until Orton wins the Royal Rumble (which will superceede the 'Orton cant get a title shot' stip) and takes it at WM21.

Also, Ortons everyone vs. Trips match was as obvious as all get out.. personally I was hoping they would only put 8 or so really good performers in there and have an elimination chamber. Battle Royals are boring as hell. Plus, if Orton is trying to screw over Trips, WHY would he put the heels in the match? Put nothing but baby faces in there and everyone teem up on trips then fight it out once he is eliminated...

the only thing I can think of is Orton might cost HHH the title to someone in the battle Royal (or to Y2J), pissing of Trips more than you can imagine, bringing the wrath of HHH down on Orton (but Trips would take the title back at the next PPV by crushing Y2J and giving him yet another weak title run)... hell, they could put the strap back on Benoit and run the 'HHH has never beaten Benoit for a title' angle that they were so carefull to save this week. Then Trips wins, gets his 80 billionth title, etc.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
HHH beat Benoit in a title match in his first match after jumping.

Or if you're not some bitter old bastard, maybe.
 
The swerve is one thing, but they still planted the seeds for a little dissention in the ranks with HHH's offhand comment about not beating Jericho. Batista just kinda shrugged it off with Flair talking to him, but it could be used for something next week in the Battle Royale, I guess.

I hate to tell you, but you're watching wrestling. It's repetitive and recycles storylines by nature. If you're dissecting it and downplaying it in some attempt to look too highbrow to actually enjoy the show, why watch in the first place?

What's to dissect somebody wants to act like teased dissention between two "friendly" wrestlers is something new....

It's not. End of story.

Look highbrow? Me? Are you f'n kiddin gme? What you want to fight or something now?

Nobody acted like it was new. If you'd like to "fight", perhaps you can show me where anyone mentioned new.

If you can't, then drop it. You're being a pissy bitch and your posts are proving it.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
poster #1: COMEDY!

poster #2: eh, it's played out...

poster #1: Yeah, maybe if you suck!


Maybe it'd be entertaining if I haven't been reading these boards for years already!

Whatever, that particular swerve was old and tired and it's been used 100's of times before. Just because it made you all happy and warm with glee doesn't make it "golden".

We can agree to disagree, then. I'm fine with that.

Even so, I never said it was new, so nyeh. Lighten up.

I've transceded fandom and gone into Analytical mode with wrestling. With no cable, I haven't watched wrestling in months, but I pay attention to it and analyze it. I have quite a few thoughts of "The idiots" in regards to it, but I grew up on it. I can't abandon it entirely.
