How about MNM? Aren't they THE HOTTEST TAG TEAM EVER? Melina reminds me of J.Lo - In fact, Josh Matthews should ask her if Nitro & Mercury are wearing real fur, and she should angrily blurt out, "Of course they're wearing real fur, you moron!" That's in regard to J.Lo and the PETA controversy with her perhaps wearing real fur. It's about time someone started name-dropping celebrities again! I haven't heard that on a regular basis since Jesse Ventura in the 70s said stuff like, "Mean Gene, what do you think of these sunglasses Cheryl Ladd gave me?" I can hardly wait to party with Melina and the boys at Rain at The Palms or the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas with Ashton, Paris, Nicole, Nick & Jessica, Britney & Kevin, etc.

Re: Viscera & Trish's dinner date: Maybe he should've been wearing that Tag body spray. (If anyone doesn't get that, Trish is the spokesperson in Canada for Tag Body Spray.)

Did you see Punk'd with Goldberg where the stunt backfired and the semi didn't run over his motorcycle? I wonder if Ashton Kutcher remarked to Goldberg, "I guess you're used to this kind of stuff from WCW, huh?"

This is an old comment but I wanted to use it so here goes: Remember when Heidenreich was still a heel and had to wear a straight jacket? So, at that time, lemme get this straight: With WWE's new dress code, if I ran into him at an airport, not only does he have to wear a dress shirt and dress pants, but over it he now also has to wear a straight jacket, too? Hey, how about NOW with the Road Warrior gimmick? Hey, maybe WWE will make him and Animal wear dress shirts and dress pants along with their makeup and those spiked shoulder pads! Wouldn't that be a look? Animal wearing any shirt over his gut would be an improvement, though.

If Hulk Hogan didn't walk away from WWE, I'd say Vince should have proved Hogan and Mr. America were the same person by signing a match between the two at the next PPV. Of couse, that would be too easy, and how does WWE get out of that one? I'll tell you how - by putting Dave "The Equalizer" Sullivan in the Mr. America costume. Hogan unmasks him, and they celebrate in the ring together to Dave's WCW "I want to be a Hulkamaniac" music. WWE could also have Vince call Hogan on his cell phone while Mr. America is in the ring in a match, but there's too many things wrong with that scenerio, both in reality and in storyline, that you can just guess.

If I were a WWE superstar and I were asked to intro a "From The Vault" match on WWE Confidential, I'd pick a WCW match that originally aired opposite a Wrestlemania on a Clash Of the Champions, and I'd identify it as such, especially if it got higher viewership than the Wrestlemania (I have a feeling that happened, which is why I say that). How well do you think that would go over with the office? Too bad Confidential isn't live.

Remember the 2003 Backlash PPV? A big reason Goldberg got no heat at Backlash is because WWE changed his music that night. I still believe to this day WWE should never have changed his music at all. Sometimes changing music works, and other times it's so disastrous they just have to go back to the old music, as in the cases of Steve Austin and Kurt Angle. There is really no good time to change a wrestler's music, unless you tell the fans you're doing it first. Fans feel helpless when they hear new music, because it smacks of the product not belonging to the fans, that it belongs to the office, and to management personnel backstage, where the fans cannot go because the security guards won't let them. Wrestling fans like to believe this is "their" product and "their" world. Actually, WWE could make a decent effort at telling fans now in the computer age. On their website, or in their e-mail newsletter, if they have one, they could say something like, "Watch for new Goldberg music in coming weeks....." Then fans would at least expect it. Don't know if that would still result in less heat or not.

So let me get this straight - Eric Bischoff says he can't wrestle Shane McMahon because Linda McMahon's rule that both he and Austin can't lay a hand on a WWE superstar unless physically provoked means Bischoff and Austin can't wrestle in an actual match as well. Austin asks Shane in the ring if he's a contracted WWE superstar. Shane says no. So the match is on. Then next week Bischoff is forced into a match against Kane. Huh? I thought Kane IS a contracted WWE superstar?!?! Huh? What?
