Too bad Kevin Nash is under contract with TNA. If it wasn't for that, WWE could do DX vs. the NWO! Shawn and HHH vs. Hall and Nash! And Hall and Nash could have Eric Bischoff as their manager! It's never been done before! Vince could sic the NWO on DX! And the end of the match would have some kind of non-finish where the NWO turns and all four guys plus Bischoff celebrate in the ring! (MSG revisited!) Then Vince'll come out all pissed off and make a match, 5 on 5, with DX, the NWO, and Bischoff, vs. the Spirit Squad. Hey, it fits! Then Bischoff could drop out, saying he's not a wrestler, and replace himself with Sean Waltman, who of course was in BOTH the NWO and DX! Now, there's a match!

On the April 1 edition of TNA, I like it when James Mitchell says, "Christian, wherever you're hiding this week....." He was hiding here in Winnipeg at the World Of Wheels car show! I wonder if James Mitchell knew that. Maybe he and Abyss could have terrorized him here, too, after beating him up at his home. They sure would have had a lot of cars to choose from, to smash him onto. Hey, maybe Mitchell could have gotten Honky Tonk Man to join in! I should have gone. I should have asked Christian, "Aren't you feeling nervous signing autographs here when James Mitchell was terrorizing your wife at your home last week? Where's she today? Could he be doing it again?" What would Christian have said, knowing that that night on TNA Impact Mitchell would play the tape of him and Abyss beating him up in his own home? I could have shown Christian the Chris Jericho clipping, too, showing him how Jericho was running to be the next Manitoba Conservative leader, before the Winnipeg Sun revealed that to be a hoax the next day. I never thought about Christian when I saw that. For the record, I was fooled for about 30 seconds until I got back into my car after buying the Sun. "Wait a sec!" I thought, after realizing what day it was. I was wondering if it was that or the Craig Ferguson story (him maybe doing the Late Late Show here in Winnipeg for a week) that was a hoax. The third front-page story about Winnipeg gas stations charging for air I thought was probably true, as I paid 50 cents for air in Grand Forks, ND last fall. Hey, who needs Wrestlemania weekend when we've got our own stuff going on here in Winnipeg, the city the whole world revolves around?

I read in the gossip mags Stacy Keibler is now acting as a matchmaker for Nick Lachey, who obviously she met through his brother Drew on Dancing With The Stars. Maybe she'll hook him up with a WWE Diva. Well, not Mickie James, of course, she doesn't swing that way. Nick needs to ask himself if Mickie James will interfere in this in any way! He doesn't want whoever Stacy fixes him up with fooling around with Mickie James! (Hey, see the Pussycat Dolls comment above!)

Every time I hear the commentators say "Angle slam" during a Kurt Angle match, it makes me want to eat a breakfast dish called an Angle Slam at Perkins.

Shelton Benjamin's mama should seek out Simon Dean and try out his patented Simon system, don't you think?

So all I have left now is just some jokes on if Chris Jericho did become premier of Manitoba: 1) Instead of a press conference, he could have the Highlight Reel. 2) He could get new generations interested in politics - he could "bring the walls down!" 3) He could have been the Ayatollah of Manitoba!

Concerning Bret Hart and the WWE Hall Of Fame, I always thought Bret should just ask his fans on his website if they wanted to see that happen or not. (If he did, I've never had the time to go on his website.) So now Bret is in. Kudos to Bret: He's had his cake and has eaten it, too. He's a man of integrity, and he's never come back to work for WWE in any capacity, but he did do just the DVD and the Hall of Fame just to preserve his memory and for the fans that wanted to see those things happen. There is one thing I wonder about that I haven't read much about, though: (and I asked Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer Newsletter if, the next time he writes extensively about Bret and Survivor Series 1997, he can go over this) Why did Bret apparently decline to lose the title to Shawn Michaels at house shows in the U.S. that took place before Survivor Series? In Shawn's book, to further his and HHH's arguments why Bret was selfish and wouldn't do business he makes that point. I can't remember what Meltzer said about that in the Observer in the past, if indeed anything.

Hey, how about the new movie on DVD (direct-to-DVD?) "Santa's Slay" with Goldberg as both Santa Claus AND Satan? Satan? Wonder if anyone in the film used a taser to subdue him.

Those stairs on the Jan. 2 Raw that Trish was running back and forth on while Todd Grisham was interviewing her look familiar. Are those the same stairs Brock Lesnar threw Zach Gowen and his wheelchair down on Smackdown?

So let me get this straight.....there's controversy over whether to allow 50 Cent into Canada and he does get allowed in.....and Lex Luger doesn't? And 50 Cent did a tour here before.....and Luger just appeared in Winnipeg in October. I like how Sting on TNA referred to Luger in his ring introduction as an "international fugitive," though.

Wonder how the new CW network will affect network executive Palmer Canon. Will he lose his job? He already indicated when congratulated by Krystal Marshall he wasn't thrilled about the new network. ("Oh yeah, THAT news.")

Maybe Mickie James can snag (shag?) Trish Stratus if she put on some Tag Body Spray. As long as there's no Mark David Chapman-type stuff in that angle.
