Actually, I don't think the belt looks all that bad - aside from maybe bringing Merman to mind a little. Don't think I'd have replaced my World championship with it though; I might've just had Jeff show up with it after being shafted out of the World title a couple of times, and having it be a little like Taz's old FTW title from ECW maybe. I also think it'd suit babyface Jeffro much better than heel Jeffro, but again, that's just an opinion.

Jay Lethal makes me sad. I actually thought he was inches away from becoming a star after he beat Flair, and that maybe TNA was on the right track. Then, it just all fell apart. Far as I'm concerned, TNA REALLY dropped the ball on him.

Obvious or not, I'd just about bet the farm it ends up being Cole. It just seems like such a natural fit. If not him, I'd say Jim Ross or someone, but my money's on Cole.

Thing is, I SHOULD be very pro-Attitude Era, I would think. I was a teenager when it was happening, and was VERY much into wrestling at the time. I can only assume that my being "baptized" in wrestling pretty much since birth, (I was born into a family full of wrestling fans, can't remember ever not watching), is why I so much prefer the wrestling style of the 80s. While I'm sure that my nostalgic, rose-colored glasses view of the era affected my thoughts and opinions on it, could that really be the only thing? Since I've started watching WWE Classics On Demand, I've noticed that, just from my recent viewings: I seem to enjoy the Nitros more than the Raws in both '96 and '98; the WWE Old School show are possibly my favorite thing on there, (house shows that were originally broadcast on the MSG network); and there's a slight chance that the original ECW was just a teeny bit overrated. But I do seem to like the old WWF Prime Time shows a lot, and the old pay-per-views from the era. Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon could make 'a show full of squashes' at least reasonably entertaining. Stennick's comment on the NWA TV he saw were right, but, if I remember correctly, NWA's World Championship Wrestling was much more of a 'B' Show, and episodes from World Wide Wrestling from around that time would have probably been much better. Think I started to ramble there for a bit.

Seems to me today's fans are gonna reject... darn near anything anyway. No matter what happens, few fans ever seem happy with it. Just not a fun environment anymore. It was fun to be a fan back in the 80s. Granted, I was a kid in the 80s, but still.

I mainly loved WCW during the 1990s, (though I admit I did kinda switch over to the WWF in 2000 or so, when WCW absolutely just went to the dogs). I loved the 1980s NWA, and I very much loved the 1980s WWF as well.

No, I wasn't too crazy about it myself. Too many impromptu matches, too much... attitude? I guess... DX tinkling on DOA's bikes does not a good wrestling show, make. For me anyway.

Personally, I loved seeing Pee-Wee on Raw. I was a fan as a kid, I'm kind of a fan now, and, to be honest, the fact that so many wrestling fans I know were... less than thrilled... with the thought of having Pee-Wee on Raw only served to make it that much more fun for me. The Twister segment was bad though, didn't seem like Pee-Wee material to me. The segment with The Miz and The Big P was much better, but there was still something missing. There was some pretty good wrestling on Raw tonight too. Good show in my book.

I didn't care all that much for the brawl myself. I was too busy wondering why TNA was having YET ANOTHER brawl that seemed to go on way too long. But that was just me.

In all fairness, I didn't realize it was already in any theaters. Still, $75 does seem low as crap. That's the only number I've been able to find too. Surely that can't be the case.

<p>I think it's time to bring one of the world's best kept secrets to life, and for the first time ever, reveal a truth few people ever get to know about the WWE.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/fe0c630780/conspiracy-theory-with-jesse-ventura" rel="external nofollow">Critical Information that's been hidden for years</a></p><p> </p><p> Click that link right there...</p><p> </p><p> If you dare!!!!</p><p> </p><p> Or if you just have a few minutes to spare, you know.</p><p> </p><p> Whatever.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Note: My apologies if that's been posted before, I just found it and thought it was amusing.</p>

I have no idea who THEY! might be, but if I remember correctly, THEM! were giant mutated ants, so THEY! might be giant mutated spiders. It's a thought.

It'd be a real trip if 'They' turned out to be a reunited 3-Count, with The Monster Abyss as their biggest fanboy. Break out your green circles, gentlemen. It's time to dance.

While agree that The Undertaker didn't need Paul Bearer, and while Taker could have certainly gotten over without him, I think Bearer DEFINITELY added something to the character, and most assuredly helped.

Not too sure about tonight's Impacted.... seemed like an awful lot of talk and a little light on the rasslin'. Not sure what that holds in store for Bound For Mediocrity, but we'll see. I was actually concerned during that opening sequence with The Monster Abyss, Dixie Carter, and Janice. I could just see Abyss accidentally doing the ol' Three Stooges slapstick, turning just a little too sharply and catching some unlucky fan right across the bridge of the nose with the fair maiden Janice.

Oh God, I hope that's not true. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it seems that wrestlers... especially wrestlers that I particularly like... lose every trace of momentum they have when they move over to Raw, and end up having to be rebuilt if and when they move back to SmackDown! - (Jack Swagger in my opinion is an example of this, even though he came from ECW). I'd hate very much to see this happen to The Punker, and yeah, a feud between he and Edge would be pretty darn good.

I haven't checked lately, but I'm pretty sure most of them are still up on Hulu, so you could probably still watch them if you wanted to.

I have to eat M&Ms, (and popcorn, and pretty much anything else like that) one at a time... with M&Ms, it's least favorite color first, favorite last. I'm also less than thrilled if any of my food items are touching each other on my plate, and again, I have to eat each of them one at a time, least favorite first, 'main event' last. Also, I was once offered a job at a department store before it had even occurred to me to fill out an application - I went in for some Rocky Chow, (Rocky being my Scooby Doo-looking dog), and a manager noticed me making absolutely sure all the dogs on the dog food cans were perfectly lined up, and suggested I put in an appy. Like a day or two later, I had a job, and not long after that, I found out that retail does in fact reek.

The really bad thing about They is that only Keith David and Rodney D'Piper can see them, (and even they need special sunglasses to do it!). You can rest assured though that They do in fact Live.

SmackDown! is on the Hulu as well.

As cool a concept as this 10-10-10 thing is... I'm a wee little bit split on it. Half the time when I hear it, I think of long distance phone call thingee commercials, (10-10-220 and the like), and the other half, I'm reminded of a certain canine cop for some reason. Dunno what it is.

Just for the record, I happen to have a black and white cat, name of... Popeye. The Pye has been known to eat Oreos, (or at least lick all the cream out of them), but it never crossed my mind to name him that. I think only my grandmother had the habit of saying "God Bless You" when someone sneezed. Maybe a great aunt or two. There are a few folks in my family who like to break out the ol' "Did ya get any on ya?" after a particularly loud and disgrossting belch, or ask "Everything come out all right?" after someone comes out of the bathroom. Let's see. What grinds my gears these days? Oh yeah. My computer-related OCDs for one thing. Dunno if anyone else has these kinds of problems, but it really drives me crazy that I came up with a pretty good idea for a TEW game, and then "had" to wait three days to actually put it into action, because for some reason, it became ridiculously important to me, that the little time-stamp that would be put on it say "Created October 1, 2010 - 1:00 AM". I am better than I used to be though, I can resist these strange urges for the most part, but every now and then, one of them gets me, and when it does, afterward I'm left wondering "Why in the *expletive deleted* did I let that happen?"

I hear the real scoop here is that everytime McMahon sends in an e-mail, all the lights in the building flicker, and Michael Cole steps up to read it to the staff. No idea if that's true or not though.
