Thanks. Should've known he'd really be from the 'burbs.

Dickson isn't the burbs. It's a dinky little podunk town.
Has a population of around 13,000 and it's actually closer to
Clarksdale than it is Nashville. Homes average in the $90K range and
the average paycheck of the townfolk is around $38K a year.

Like my grandmother used to say :you can grill it, but all the doilies and
decorations on it, but all the sauces on, but when it's all said and done,
you can't turn poop into Grade A beef, folks.

Grante, I liked Chavez during his first run all those many years ago, but I
still can't figure out the logic of bringing him back. Are the RAW and
Smackdown rosters THAT shallow that they feel they need to bring back
Tatanka and Duggan back? I say cut the WWE title load in half, get the
rosters back together and let loose the dead weight, talent wise.

I'd pay good money for the PPV if I were CERTAIN ol Batzilla would make
Booker his personal Tokyo and rip "the King" a new one. Of course, WWE PPVs
(at least the non-ECW ones) are shotty at best.

I think Tatanka (Chris Chavis) has one of those "legends" deals like
Duggan, Hogan, et al.

Eaton was a tag team specialist, and won the TV & US titles in WCW back
in the day.

I think we know how this'll work, Ben. Booker will weasel out of the
PPV with the belt intact, then lose it either on Smackdown or at No
Mercy in October.

I thought the camera work was bad when The Undertaker did

It sure aint the east side.

I would like Bradshaw to come out of retirement for just the
few seconds it would take to powerbomb Cole through the
announce table. Cole said that Helms "stole" the match. As
you said, the referee just missed the leg under the rope.

I am really surprised that Bradshaw takes Cole's insults,
like when Cole calls him a kiss-ass. If he is not going to
physically intimidate him, then Bradshaw should at least
return the insults. Call Cole a take-it-in-the-ass or
something.



| Vicki Guerrero is trying to negotiate peace between Chavo

| make guarantees, but Chavo is trying to sell Vicki on the
| idea of Rey exploiting Eddie's memory. It would come to a

| after him, and you can see ref Nick Patrick leading

W. T. F? Turn Vicki?

Eddie Guerrero is really alive. He is going to "return from
the dead" to avenge his wife. It would be the ultimate heel
turn. Betray everyone who cried for him. He must be alive
if they are still using him like this, and now involving his
wife this way.



| Michelle McCool is basically being used as an FU to Stacy
| Keibler, right down to her entrance. Consider Michelle the
| new Ms. Hancock.

Coincidentally, I was wondering if she lost weight. I do
not remember her being that thin in her match with Melina.

| The newbies gave a good accounting, rallying from a
| difficult start to get the win over the tag champs, but
| Stevens had to employ a leverage violation to get the pin
| on Kendrick. That will set up the tag title match, either
| next week or at Summerslam. As of now, only 1 Smackdown
| match has been set for Summerslam, and that's a World
| title tilt between King Booker & Batista.

What's with tag teams beating the champions in their debuts?
It was slightly different with MNM because the champions
they beat were Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio who had other
things going, probably needed to be free of the titles, and
it was obvious that Melina was a star. None of the other
teams deserved such a debut. It really makes London and
Kendrick look like flukes because they have nothing else
going on.



| I'd like to see Kristal get together with Jonathan
| Coachman over on Raw. I think they have something in
| common.

They're black? That am racist. -or each is too skinny to
be a wrestler?

| Back to this year's Diva Search. Good thing this disaster
| is ending in 5 days. They brought in a rent-a-jobber to
| spar with Jen & Milena, and he tapped to a cross
| armbreaker from the latter in under :10. Layla did what
| she does best, dance, dressed as a cop, and won the crowd

The blond in red was being a bitch. The women's division
doesn't need a real bully; it already has Melina. The blond
should be eliminated for being disruptive.

What a surprise that the "fighters" were rejected for a
dancer rolling and doing splits. See, it is the fans' fault.



| Vito with the Code of Silence, then what I call the
| Vitolock (blindfolding the victim with his dress and
| applying a hammerlock).

More "sense" from censorship: When Vito's dress was down,
his ass was blurred; when he raised the dress as he pranced
around the ring, there was no blurring.

WTF?! Did that really happen?! What a stupid gimmick for a
guy like Vito. Rico would have been funny. It is sickening
with Vito. I suppose he does not want to follow Scott, eh?
Scott. You remember. Gunner Scott. The great wrestler who
had no gimmick and is now GONE.



| Sylvester Turkay squashed a rent-a-jobber this week, after
| deferring to Elijah Burke last week. Know what I'd like to
| see? These two as a tag team. They reek of championship
| material.

They reek of some kind of material.



| King Booker was exuding confidence as he considered his
| title defense v. Batista at Summerslam, but once he got to
| the broadcast table, he just got flat out annoying.

"got"?

| He even took over play-by-play near the end of the match,
| which merited getting muted. Between him, Sharmell, &
| J-Me-L, poor Michael Cole was barely able to get a word in
| edgewise.

-and that was actually the good part.

| Pre-match, the King's Court, reunited after squaring off 3
| times in the last two weeks over the US title, were
| arguing over who was in charge. Maybe they'll turn Regal
| full face after all. After all, he was your designated
| jobber.

How is that different from any other Regal match?

| Decent, but not spectacular. Finish saw stereo spears to
| the Court, followed by Bats finishing off Regal with a
| spinebuster. Batista then cut a short promo on Booker
| where he thanked the faux king for holding his belt for
| him. Looked like we were going to get a fight, but no go.

That was sad. Batista castrated Booker T.

Booker should have stood on the announce table, displayed
the belt, and told Batista if he wanted it, he should come
get it. He then should have gotten in the ring and left his
bitch behind so he can fight his own battle like a man.
Theodore R. Long has them separated or kept away from each
other before anything happens to save his Summer Slam
championship match.

The way it was done, Booker T was Batista's bitch. I
dislike Booker T, but I hate seeing a man degraded like
that. Even Flair was able to recover from being Foley's
bitch. Booker T should be ashamed.



| Boogeyman's on his way back.

-to the land of the gimmick, and the home of the ridiculous.

I remember announcers like Ventura, Heenan, those people,
saying things like "Say what you will about him/He may be
the strangest man we've ever seen in WWF, but he is a
great/smart wrestler" and that bizarre character would have
a surprisingly great wrestling match. That does not seem to
matter anymore, as long as the gimmick "works".

Even every UFC fighter has a nickname ("gimmick") now. Like
WWE, the names do not make the fights interesting. UFC
usually bores the Hell out of me, but the best matches are
when the fighters repeatedly escape each other's holds.



| Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). Porter continues to string
| Teddy Long along before signing on the dotted line. Agents
| will do that with football rookies, holding out for more
| money than they are really worth. As I noted last week,
| Porter illustrates just how ridiculous this concept is. I
| don't know how well he was over at Deep South, so the
| jury's out on him.

I thought he was a manager. He seems to have a lot of
"personality" for a wrestler.

I think J-Me-L is prohibited from any kind of physical contact as an
announcer.

Give me a break. Eddie's been gone 9 months now, and Crazy Vinnie
insists on continuing to dishonor his memory with this soap opera. One
more reason the insane chairman needs to be taken out of the picture,
because it's time for him to retire!

Your opinion, not mine. I'd rather see this be the end of the Diva

Aka Brent Albright, who's back in the mix in OVW. As for the selective
censoring of Vito in his matches, well, it seems the network doesn't
want any rear shots.

Well, I'm going out on a limb here and thinking that Booker will weasel
out of Boston with the belt still in hand, and they'll stall on the
title change.

He's a wrestler. His character is being used to satirize the pampered,
spoiled football & basketball millionaires.

Don't just blame "Crazy Vinnie" for this. Chavo and Rey might be under
contract to Vince and pretty much have to do what they're told, but the fact
that Vicki is also participating in this is most likely entirely her
decision.

Is it really that difficult to tell when I am being sarcastic?

I should go in to politics.

They're both black, too.

We are only five-hundred internet fans who want wrestling
and not the crap that is getting us to delete WWE from our
television schedules. WWE has millions [waits for doggy

said, they are still attending the shows.

Cole's silence, not the yakking. Bradshaw's reaction to the
