Christmas Day
I think Steve Austin missed out on a career as a singer.
After spending 2 sleepless days and nights going through most of the pages on this site doing most of the small changes and fixes I could think of,
I also went through the entire autograph inventory and updated everything.
At least for the foreseeable future, any autographed item you see listed is still available for you to buy.
Also, I went through and marked every single item down in price so all of you cheap bastards need to go look through the autographs that are listed and spend some money.
For the good of the economy, George Bush and I urge you to take action.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a better holiday than me.
Actually, that's not really true.
Most of you people need to build on you character through some misery, pain, hardships, and suffering.
Only a Jew like me flies on Christmas day from Ft. Lauderdale to Newark on Air-Death airlines (with a lovely change-over in Craplanta) just to drive all the way back home down I-95 with my brother.
Just imagine how many holiday douchebags are going to try and kill me during that brutal drive...if I don't kill myself first.
This year can't end soon enough.

I made up a few wrestling browser skins if anyone is interested in downloading them for their Hotbars.
If you don't know, Skins are colorful background images that appear as backgrounds on
your browser toolbar; skins can also be viewed or sent as eCards.
Hotbar is an Internet plug-in that will allow skins to be viewed on your
Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers. (excluding Netscape 6.0)
Click the below link to download/install the skins and to see examples.
What about Raven?
Does anyone else miss the guy we used to watch in ECW?...
(The original time he was there, not the infamous lazy-fatass year between his stint in WCW and now).
At least when he was in WCW, regardless of the "glass ceiling", he was at times (this is my opinion which you can disagree with) probably one of the top 10 guys working there.
That's saying a lot when you're in a group that includes guys like Flair, Sting, Hogan, Hall, and Nash.
Its not even a matter of not getting the right push, storyline, or gimmick.
Its really more of a total lack of respect by the powers that be in the WWF toward both his abilities and accomplishments in ECW and WCW and his large, established, and very loyal fan base.
This is a guy that can and has sold Pay-Per-Views and merchandise, unlike that he-she Chyna.
People would actually pay the money to see Raven headline an ECW card.
He's put asses in seats. Which is actually what's important.
What self-respecting person in the precious WWF demographic would ever wear a Chyna t-shirt?...Even if given one as a gift???
Forget about the fact that I've never acyually seen Chyna wrestle what people would call a great (or even good) match.
Yet I'm absolutely baffled by total polar opposite efforts, attention, and respect shown (by the WWF) to these two considering what each actually brings to the table.
I guess the same argument could be made for any number of wrestlers on the WWF roster with guys like Raven and Tazz heading the list.
Anyway, there's this absolutely great fan-site called www.ScottLevy.com orthe Raven's Crucifix that everyone should visit.
It always seems to have been recently updated and has hundreds of photos, downloadable video clips and audio clips.
It has a great look and design to it and even if you're not a huge Raven fan, you'll still totally appreciate the website.
I had to plug a site where I find one of my autographs I sell (either from here or ebay) as part of the imagery.

It was good to finally have Jerry Lawler come back to the WWF.
I didn't feel his absence until the night he returned and it was immediately blatantly obvious how much he really enhances these shows.
Sure it was the same night they brought in Ric Flair, removed Shane, Stephanie, Paul Heyman, and the alliance angle and started the new storyline directions.
However, I still think Lawler brought a huge quality that's been missing for awhile.
He looked a lot thinner too.
I don't know why they can't call one company WCW when the split happens.
Online the sites are saying that the WCW name is all but dead and buried...what the hell are they going to call the second group? WWF2?
I've also read recently that the WWF has withdrawn their negotiations with Kevin Nash because Nash doesn't want to have to work as much as everyone else.
Actually I could really care less about Nash.
I don't think that anything else could have as big of a long-term impact right now as the Outsiders coming into the WWF.
I just hope that the WWF isn't so stupid as to not consider hiring Scott Hall without Nash.
Hall is the true asset and I think people forget how great he really is in all aspects of the business with or without Nash.
And unlike Nash, I'm sure that Hall could use the money and be willing to work hard and often.
While I'd love a return of Scott Hall and think the Outsiders would be even better, I'd rather see Hogan come back for a final goodbye than have Nash back without Hall.
It was good to see Vampiro and Norman Smiley's names attached to the new wrestling group that both Hogan and Lawler both recently did some work for.
We're giving away a new autograph this month.
Its a signed RVD 8X10 you can look at and register for by clicking HERE.
