read that Undertaker could be having 4 or 5 more matches this year. a lot of them are supposedly going to be squash matches.
If Undertaker's hanging it up next year, i'd say he should finish liked he started. The Unbeatable unstoppable phenom. |

Ronda was great, and she's got explosive energy and was bumping like a mad-woman. My worry is that the WWE overexposes her. The general feeling seems to be that she will headline WrestleMania next year, and while she is a freak that will pick things up quickly and only get better and better, at the end of a 7-hour show, how are those fans in attendance going to react to the "Ronda push?" When does she lose that special quality and the surprise factor?

TNA's new belts look futuristic. I get why they've gone that route, but it's not for me. That being said, TNA isn't for me either.

Backlund was a really good draw though and he was very over until 83. If Snuka hadn't been so fucked up then (drugs, murder), I would have put the belt on him in 83, or maybe Muraco. |

Something I just realized about Triple H's 2000: He was in gimmick match upon gimmick match that year. I'm not really high on Triple H, because I just feel that his importance is a retroactive construction by a WWE, and that it's a myth that should really be contested. It irks me so much. It was the Attitude era. It was crazy, woo -- I get it. I am probably being far too cerebral in trying to assassinate Triple H like this. But it's just something I didn't realize until just looking at the cards for 2000 (considered the WWF's best year, commercially and often critically):
* Street Fight against Cactus Jack at the Royal Rumble. Mick Foley bends over backwards trying to get the new heel champion over. * Hell in a Cell at No Way Out against Cactus Jack, with Jack's career on the line. A gimmick on top of a gimmick. Mick Foley again doing his best to make sure Triple H is in top heel form in time for WrestleMania. * Four-way for the gold at Mania. Rock, Big Show and Foley also there. A McMahon in every corner. Another case of a gimmick on top of the gimmick. * Shane McMahon as special guest referee against Rock at Backlash; Vince and Steph allowed at ringside; "Austin will be there! Austin will be there!"; Rock's still chasing. * Iron Man at Judgment Day against Rock. * Multi-man tag where the belt can change hands at KOR. * Last Man Standing at Fully Loaded. * Triple Threat at SummerSlam. * No DQ with Mick Foley as special guest referee at Unforgiven; Stephanie makes her decision. * No DQ against Austin at Survivor Series. * Multi-man Cell at Armageddon. Triple H's one straight one-on-one wrestling match in 2000 on PPV was against Chris Benoit, who was arguably the best wrestler in the company at that point. Could this have been means to "protect" Triple H, or am I looking too far into it? I mean some of them arguably hurt the card, but you can't deny there is always some sort of effort to "fluff-up" the Triple H match and make things interesting from a layman's perspective. |

I will get married to Eli Drake and then on our 20th anniversary reveal it was all a work, and I never really felt anything for him.

But it isn't just her timing with Allie. It seems like her timing as a whole isn't the best. But I haven't seen anything of her when she apparently acted "normal", which is why I said I don't know if she is trying to live her gimmick too much and it's fucking up her ring work, or if she needs more practice with competent women to shore that up, of if she is just ass and we're seeing her at peak performance. I'm hoping it's one of the first two and not the third, because I'd like to see more. And yeah, Rosemary seems like the likeliest of collisions, but is one of those "believe it when I see it" things, since this is what's left of TNA we're talking 'bout. If it were WWE, I'd say it would be because of bad booking, but with these guys, I would say the "obvious" prob'ly wouldn't even cross anyone's minds until Rosemary leaves for NXT or Su takes a leave due to pregnancy or something. |

Nakamura new gimmick is that Toru Yano has taken over his mind, Being John Malkovich style.

* He was in the Royal Rumble. * Wrestled Big Show at No Way Out. There was a stipulation, but it was a straight-forward match. * Was in the four-way with Triple H at Mania. * Was in the special ref with Triple H at Backlash. * Was in the Iron Man with Triple H at Judgment Day. * He was in the six-man with Triple H at KOTR. * He wrestled Chris Benoit in a straight-forward match at Fully Loaded. * He was in the Triple Threat with Triple H at SummerSlam. * He was in a four-way at Unforgiven. * He wrestled Kurt Angle in a No DQ match at No Mercy. * He wrestled Rikishi in a straight-forward match at Survivor Series. * Hell in a Cell with Triple H and the gang at Armageddon. So The Rock was in 3 singles matches out of 11 opportunities to do that in 2000, versus Triple H's 1 out of 12. I just find it interesting. It came up when I was discussing Triple H's enhanced retroactive significance in the Attitude era. 2000 is considered his glory year, and he did some really fine work during it, don't get me wrong, but I do find it interesting the bells and whistles he got, and that he wasn't a more significant draw than Chris Benoit that year. |

Did he really say "Silence your cell phones. Unless you have a Cricket Wireless plan. Then, by all means, do your thing."?

The WWE have always brought talent out at business summits and it's always made me think how weird/awkward it must be for the talent to come out in character to a sea of business suits that just sit and stare at you and not give you any reaction other than an occasional smile or chuckle, if you're lucky.

I also don't get the Cricket Wireless joke, but I know that's because I'm not American.

I hate TNA.
More specifically, Dale Oliver. I'm currently listening to Evanescence's album "Fallen" because I haven't listened to it in ages and whenever I hear "My Last Breath", I always think of Christian's TNA theme. |

Bit surprised Australia isn't part of their plans since that's been speculated to be getting a UK-like revival happening within the near future.
Would be cheaper and less competition to deal with if WWE got involved now than after the rumored revival happens. Right now think the only major promotion having a base there is NJPW but that was only done very recently. |

A closer look at that map and I can see that Triple H has apparently conquered North Korea.
