I don't really feel like being creative with an update, but maybe I'll just post some opinions from this week's two shows.
- Kidman looks like he's bulked up since the old WCW.
- Albert looked great in his match on monday...he was unbelievably fast, fluid, and strong.
- Angle gets the push as a super-face a week before the Rock returns...They should hold off on the Rocks return and push Angle...Save the Rock for the beginning of the new fall primetime television season in September.
- Kanyon is a great wrestler who sells well and is funny out of the ring.
- Rob Van Dam can easily be one of the WWF's top guys within a year barring backstage politics.
- Lita is looking awfully manly recently. She lost those 5 extra pounds, cut up, and is developing the same man-face Chyna had.
- Raven needs to be booked like the badass he was in his first run in ECW.
- Why hasn't Tommy Dreamer been involved with any matches or vignettes yet?
- Stephanie lost her few extra pounds and those boobs are looking bigger than ever.
- They shouldn't have ended that Austin/Angle/Vince routine so soon.
- Why has Jim Ross mentioned Ric Flair's name on the air at least twice this week?
- Why does the Undertaker always have to come out on top? And would anyone not have believed Rhyno actually beating him?
- Where is Jerry Lynn these days?...we need to see a RVD/Lynn match like the old days.
- Why doesn't Vince just buy out Goldberg's contract and make back those millions in 2 months with T-shirts, ratings, and PPV revenues?
- I thought X-Pac was Kidman at first when he ran out Moday in the white wife-beater.
- Does Torrie Wilson have bad skin? And does it really matter?
- "Hurricane" Helms?
- Making DDP a sexual deviant was pretty funny.
- Regal and Tajiri will never get old.
- Isn't it strange that the only Radical on TV right now is that crosseyed Perry Saturn?
- I saw a sign in the audience spelled "nick folley"...when you think of the average IQ of those sold-out arenas, one word comes to mind...BRUTAL.
- I think Booker T has gotten rid of the rust, he looked great against Angle.
- Less of the "Show-Gunns" and more Kaientai.
- Those Mr. T comments from E&C were great.
- I liked Lance Storm's rollup for the half-crab he did Thursday.
- APA should win Kanyon's belt in a poker game...or at least that MVP shirt.
- Bring back the women's title and start having some matches...Lita, Molly, Ivory, Jackie, Tori, etc...USE THEM!
THIS SITE was funny at first but then as I kept clicking and reading, it got too weird.
Sometimes its funny how you can click from one link to another and eventually find something like THIS.
Remember, the sale ends when the month does (no math lesson this time!)...
The company that makes a lot of my merchandise had added some new items.
Well, through the end of the month, they are going to be knocking $2.00 off the price of all their new products.
Visit the MERCHANDISE section to see all the designs available.

The news has been covering another case where one child killed another supposedly using wrestling moves.
I don't think I need to go over the details, if you're unfamiliar with the incident, go HERE and read about the specifics.
What's frustrating to someone like me who really enjoys watching wrestling is the way it has been targeted by everyone and everyone as the cause of every tragic thing in the world.
I wonder when people are going to learn that there is just something wrong with a person who can be influenced by video games, television, movies, or music.
Its not the job of entertainment to police people into making the correct decisions when debating right from wrong.
Instead of trying to blame others for your problems, maybe these parents should accept the fact that they are seriously guilty of extremely shitty parenting.
The mother is trying to blame wrestling for the cause of her son's death, when in all actuality, she and her fiancee should be charged with the crime of her son's death.
She has stated that she told them she didn't want them watching wrestling...
Okay, now be a parent and make sure that they don't.
When I was a child, when I wasn't allowed to do or see something, my parents made sure of it.
The news has reported that there were plenty of other warning signs for the parents to know better than to leave the two together and unattended at home.
This family of trailer-park white trash is a joke and I sometimes wonder that even though this was an innocent kid, that maybe nature has a way of trying to keep evolution on the right track.
Why else would most tornados be so notorious for where they often hit?
Just mother nature trying to clean up her planet a little bit at a time.
This boy outweighed the other by somewhere around 180 pounds...I under that.
Didn't this big fat high school drop-out loser have any idea of the damage he could inflict on someone so much smaller than himself.
Hopefully the Wilkes county courts will do the same as the South Florida ones did and not allow "wrestling made me do it" as a defense.
Why aren't parents held accountable for the actions of their kids anymore?
I miss Ernest 'THE CAT' Miller.
I think he should have definitely been one of the people WWF had signed after buying WCW.
Well in case you miss him too, listen to some audio clips on this WEBSITE.
They finally got an ECW WEBSITE up.
Its part of WCW's but i guess that's about as good as they can do for now...
Somebody else probably owns ECW.com.
They actually have some stuff up covering the original invasion from a few years ago.
Its so rare when you don't have a day go by where there isn't some headache in dealing with ebay users.
For example, here's an excerpt from an email I go the other day:
I recieved my picture today.....and its great....
thank you ...
I have not left feedback
as as of late no one seems to be leaving any...and actually the the last guy I did leave feedback said he didn't like feedback...
so if you want me to leave feedback
leave me feedback and I will leave you some as well...
What a bitch.
And what a surprise that people only want to do something nice but ALWAYS with stipulations and demands attached.
I am generally up between the hours of 6-10 in the morning and often listen to the Howard Stern show.
I was lucky enough to hear the show where AJ Benza hit Stuttering John and got banned (permanently?) from the show.
Anyway, they got a clip of the video footage up the next day and you can see the little bitchslap HERE.
HERE'S a weird little website where they like to break things and encourage others to do the same.
They have photos, videos, and other stuff.

Well, Austin switched sides.
Big surprise there.
I guess we'll have a week of desperation for the WWF until their savior The Rock returns to make everything right in the world again.
Well after mentioning that "day With Midajah" auction I saw on ebay, I had to know what the reserve was so I wrote the dude and here's the reply...

Hello
The reserve is $2500. I have received about half a
dozen e-mails since the auction ended, so I am not
accepting bids (too time comsuming and difficult via
e-mail). But the first to e-mail me accepting the
reserve will be the winner.
The reserve includes dinner for 2 to 4 people and the
rental of a car for the day. Initially, Midajah
wanted the day do be more fancy with limo pick-up and
the like but this would have made the reserve $4000.
I talked her down to $2500. Which is a great deal
since a recent auction with Francine went for $12000!
Reply ASAP!
All the best
Dan
Unfortunately, I don't think its worth spending $2500.00 just to spend the day with anyone...
Unless it involves bringing someone back from the dead...
That I'd pay the price for.
And who the hell paid $12000.00 to meet Francine???
That had to be a fake bid.
She rates about 75 bucks and that would have to include a handjob.
While I'm discussing ebay, my AUTOGRAPH AUCTIONS end tonight.
Buy something.
Here's those Steve-O (from MTV's Jackass) video clips I was supposed to post yesterday...
All of the ones above are on those videotapes for sale on the late-night infomercial for "X-Treme Laughs".
Here's a LINK to their half-assed website.

Tonight's the big Invasion PPV, I hope it lives up to its limited hype.
Most internet "experts" are crapping on the WCW because they don't have a major star, and I tend to agree.
There was a reason people weren't watching WCW and it went in the crapper, fixing the obvious problems of control, leadership, direction, storylines, and quality are definitely the long-term fix for bringing the WCW brand back from the point of no-return.
Also, its the right idea to bring up and develop all of the young guys that were held back in the old WCW.
But to get viewers interested now, they needed a big name...
Bigger than Scott Steiner, better and more experienced than Goldberg, younger than Ric Flair, and still cares about the business unlike Sting.
I'm on record as saying that a clean and sober Scott Hall is the best choice for this and fits all the requirements.
However, the WWF for the meantime has decided to use a stable of 10 men under the ECW banner to fill the shoes of one missing ingredient.
It tends to be working at the price of developing the WCW (alone) into something that people would tune in to watch (without the WWF characters) on TV.
Ideally, the idea is still to spin-off WCW and probably eventually ECW into their own shows with their own internal storylines.
Occasional defections from one federation to another occur every now and then throughout the year with maybe only one PPV from each federation involving matches against the other promotions.
Obviously, Vince would be smarter to build each federation up individually and differently to cater slightly to the differing tastes of the wrestling fans.
And if each "company" had its own television shows, they'd probably also eventually have their own pay-per-views (maybe 6 a year for WCW and the same for ECW).
I would assume this is the eventual long-term goal, but right now I feel they went about it the wrong way from the start by not signing a "top shelf" WCW wrestler.
Bob Ryder wrote an interesting COLUMN about some of this.
They should at least start up an ECW website like they did with WCW.
If Midajah's auction didn't meet reserve, I'm wondering what her minimum was to spend one pathetic day with a fan...
Here's the AUCTION.
Its over, but maybe they'll re-list it.
If I lived in California and didn't have to spend the money on a plane ticket, I'd bid on this under the stipulation that she'd agree to sign a bunch of photos for me while we're "hanging out".
BreakTV.com had a PAGE with video interviews with several wrestlers, like THIS ONE with Raven (and Trish Stratus).
I got this email today:

Just got my pics this morning. I can't thank you enough. My
girlfriend
shagged me for damn near 10 hours without a break after I gave them to
her.
I am on your mailing list now and look forward to doing more business.
Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cochino
I'm glad someone's happy after dealing with me, bu that's more than I really needed to know.
I hope for his sake she's hot enough to see naked for 10 hours.
If she's so happy with the product, maybe she owes me a shag too.
That's it, sorry but the Steve-O stuff will have to be posted later.
I've lost all interest in doing anything else here right now.

I was tracking what sites my visitors are coming from and I found that THIS GUY had linked to me.
He has a personal website where he talks some about wrestling, has some interesting links, and games for downloading.
I figured fair is fair and since he's got a link to me on his website, that I'd send some people back to him.
July 20th, 2001
Two words...Hey-Yo.
Scott Hall would have been the answer to the WCW problems.
They wouldn't have had to do the ECW merger.
While I like the idea of WCW and ECW invading, it would have been much more interesting if all 3 companies were on their own against the other 2.
That's where Hall comes in.
Scott Hall is the Goldberg/Sting/Flair caliber superstar the new WCW is sorely missing,
and I can guarantee that he'd be available at a reasonable price.
From all I've heard lately, Hall has his head on straight.
He would get pops as big as Austin or the Rock.
I know he could have kept enough WCW momentum going until other guys got over, or Scott Steiner got healthy, or someone else had their big guaranteed contract finish.
I also really miss seeing him on TV every week.
The RVD tag match on Smackdown was pretty good and I think it was a good set up for both of the singles matches that those four will be in.
Its been only one week and I already miss the Stone Cold Steve Austin of the last few months.
The Stone Cold that along with Kurt Angle and Vince McMahon had me laughing at almost every bit they did.
At least Tajiri and Regal are still together.
Do all of the hundreds of wrestling news sites like THIS ONE just steal from one another?
Who has the time to run something like this?
Or is it automated to update postings people submit?
And what's the purpose?
To get hits for 3 cent click-through ads?
Seems like a big-ass headache.
Thank god Darryl got kicked off of TOUGH ENOUGH this week.
I wish that the shows were an hour instead of a half-hour.
Watching that big dumb moose for the last few weeks made me wonder how someone can rub everyone the wrong way while being totally oblivious to it?
I got this email from another of the many wonderful members of the ebay bidder community and I think it sort of illustrates the Darryl' situation...

What is wrong with people?
Why would this braintrust think I'd end an auction early to sell something to him at the minimum bid?
Where is the incentive for me?
Does he think I don't deserve the opportunity to make as much as I can for these items?
Seriously though, If he had offered me more than the minimum $9.99,
I might have just actually considered it.
It doesn't take a lot of research to see I retail these damn things for $25.00 on this website.
I sell enough directly from this website to keep me happy.
The ebay auctions don't contribute enough to be essential to my life...
I don't need ebay.
The main reason I post these auctions is because its great advertising for this website to attract new people who might otherwise never visit.
Ebay customers (in general) are notoriously cheap...
as this email illustrates.
He's also screwing over other people who might have been interested in bidding.
I'm thinking maybe I run these auctions for the experience of dealing with every monkey who has been taught to go online.
And for the occasional email I get to bitch about publicly.
Ebay is evil...
Damn dirty apes...
These aren't the poop-flinging chimps on ebay that I've been getting emails from, but MTV is running a cool contest on their WEBSITE for the new Planet of the Apes movie.
The movie's official WEBSITE has been updated with the new trailer.
That movie is money in the bank.
I find the strangest thing on the internet.
Things like DEADMONKEY.COM.
Speaking of strange things, I joined a button exchange program to try and get some more exposure for this website.
I've noticed the links I've been posting in return often enough are of teenage girls' personal webpages.
Well, the random link is on the left where it says "easy-swap" a few are pretty funny while others are pathetic...
a few are actually worth checking out if you have the time.
THIS GUY has some pretty neat animations and a cool game you can DOWNLOAD.

WWF.com ran another article on Rob Van Dam that you can read HERE.
It basically talks about a 1997 match on Raw is War with a 19 year-old Jeff Hardy for the original ECW invasion that happened over 4 years ago.
They're pushing how their match at the Invasion PPV will be a great rematch for the ages.
If they get to go longer than 10 minutes, it should be pretty amazing.
They have a pretty cool graphic up at RVD's WEBSITE for the Invasion PPV hardcore title match.
Except for the Earl Hebner/Nick Patrick match, the PPV may have some good matches.
Why does it feel like Austin is going to join WCW/ECW Sunday just in time for the Rock's return Monday?
While moving stuff around from one webpage to another, I re-visited one of my links to WRESTLINGVIXXXENS.COM.
There were new sets of free pictures of each of the 3 skanks up to look at.
I'm assuming the reason to provide a portion of free pictures on a pay site is to entice people to spend the 12 bucks to sign up for the members only areas.
I was forwarded this email today...
The fallout from the T-3 continues at their next event as Midwest Championship Wrestling's next event is on Saturday, August 4th at St. Rita's High School 7740 South Western (79th and Western Ave) in Chicago, Ilinois. Doors open at 6:30pm, Bell-time is 7:30pm. Tickets are $18 each. To get your tickets in advance, call the Wrightwood Community Office at 773-476-2546. This will be a TV TAPING!!!
Matches already announced for the show:
Low Ki and Airborne will defend their newly won Tag Team titles against Former ECW Superstars Christian York and Joey Matthews.
"IcePick" Vic Capri defends his MCW Title against Acid
ECW Superstar Simon Diamond takes on APW Superstar Michael Modest
ECW Superstar Chris Chetti takes on Magnificent Mike
National Indy Sensation Kevin Quinn will make his MCW Debut
MCW will introduce a new title, the TV TITLE-a lottery will be held the night of the show to determine the contenders for this NEW TITLE!!!
plus more matches announced in the upcoming weeks....
For further information, check out www.midwestchampionshipwrestling.com
I guess if you're in the Midwest it might be worth going to.
I went to the website, and wondered if Michael Buffer knows that they're using his voice and catchphrase on their website?
I bet he doesn't know because he'd have already sued their asses off if he did.
If that is the case, why would they use photos like THIS ONE?
She looks like a strung out, over the hill street walker.
Missy and Tammy are just gross.
I don't know if its the $5.00 Walgreens disposable camera they're using, or if their looks have really slid that far.
All I do know is that from the free pictures they're posting, that I definitely DO NOT want to see their rotted-out naked parts.
I can't believe I had to spend $197.00 at the post office yesterday to mail out ebay orders.
Remember, I have over 150 wrestling autographs up for auction on ebay right now.
You should buy something and make all the work I put into this website worth at least some of my time.
Go HERE and bid your asses off.
While I'm shilling products, the company that makes my t-shirts and mugs has added a few new items including a tank top, 2 styles of hats, and a canvas tote bag.
Anyway, everybody needs an Andre the Giant baseball cap to help them get by in life.
And for $17.99, how can you lose?
Check out all of the new merchandise and cool designs HERE.
I have so many things I need to write about but I'm always too damn tired to do a decent update.
