In a way, Bret Hart did promote Flair's book because now people are going to want to read what Flair had to say about everyone.
anyway, it seems as if I've been falling asleep only a couple matches into Raw and even Smackdown. Quite literally actually. Is it the boring programs or am I just extra tired lately?

Eugene got a title shot on RAW...and he was winning...he hit the Rock Bottom and went for a pin, but Benoit got his foot on the rope, Eugene thought he won, so he went and grabbed the belt and started to celebrate...Evolution came out and just beat down everyone...
Overall I thought it was a good RAW, but Edge isn't what he used to be I think he needs a change fast. His match with Batista was great, Batista always seems to get a better with each match and IMO has one of the best spinebusters right now.
and the promo Lita did could probly be her best one ever.

Getting back to seras post about Bret Harts reply to Ric Flair, Bret Hart had to respond to it because it was insulting and discusting what Ric said about Bret profiteering from Owens death. As well as the other issues raised in the book. I have all the respect for Ric Flair and cant believe there is genuine heat between him and Bret so Ill read the book for myself. Promoting the book or not (he did make the comments after the book came out) he did have a right to reply and if it is true then Rick Flair can go f*** himself as Bret said.
And as far as Bradshaw is concerned he is a better pure wrestler than Hulk, Warrior, Duggan and any other three move wrestlers there are that can supposedly draw better than him.

That Lita promo was okey...i didn't like how she berated Kane in front of people like that...saying he was a bit small...and then Jericho, with the "premature" joke...not cool
Well I thought what Y2J said was funny as hell, and I thought Kane was gonna start turning green, but Kane wasn't hurt any in the end because he destoryed both the ref and Jericho
JBL fan club!!!! 
I actually think Kane could have done without that bit where he "couldn't bring himself" to hit Lita with the chair. They spend so much time building him up to be a monster, and then they start making him a person instead.
Aside from the obvious fact the storyline sucks, and a monster should have more sinister objectives than getting over with Lita in the first place

Ya I think his monster gimmick is almost gone now, I think he should get "injured" then stay low for a bit, then reinvent himself and have a come back like Taker did maybe go back to a mask or even some kind of face paint
I think he definatly needs that mask back...The mask was what the gimmick was about, and when the mask is gone, the gimmick goes stale...
maybe they need to set him on fire...or maybe he is a "fake Kane"...and they can do that thing like they did with the undertaker all those years ago...

| Gail Kim was injured on 7/3 in Saskatoon. - Eddie Guerrero pulled his hamstring on 7/4 but because he’s the top face on Smackdown!, he ended up working the next night. - Ultimo Dragon is still expected to return to WWE in the fall but there’s a chance that he may not return since the company isn’t too keen on pushing him and he’d rather be in Japan anyway due to other interests. - Rodney Mack is expected to begin working at house shows in the near future to evaluate his progress. - At last night’s RAW, the entire balcony was tarped off as ticket sales for the post-PPV show were far less than desireable. |
So injures are up, sales are down, and WWE doesn't want to push talented workers cause they aren't white... sounds like an average Vince in charge day

| Thanks to Don & Comingsoon.net for the following. It looks like Goldberg, Kevin Nash, & Steve Austin will all be appearing in the upcoming remake of "The Longest Yard" starring Adam Sandler: MTV spoke to Adam Sandler who revealed new cast additions for his upcoming Paramount film, The Longest Yard, featuring Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, and James Cromwell. In what is likely to be the smallest backfield former NFL linebackers Brian Bosworth and Bill Romanowski have ever faced, Nelly will play the running back to Sandler's quarterback in the remake. He'll also record a song for the film. Sandler's team of inmates, who take on a team of prison guards, will have an NFL star of their own in former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin, as well as a few wrestlers. "[Eric 'Extreme'] Goldberg, Steve Austin, Kevin Nash — [will face off against the prison guards]," said Sandler. Veteran actress Cloris Leachman will play the secretary for the prison's sadistic warden, played by Cromwell. |

| Getting booed last night at WWE Vengeance isn't an isolated incident for new Intercontinental champion Edge. In fact, there is serious consideration right now to turning Edge heel, as he has been getting heel responses from crowds despite it not being the intended response. Edge turning heel has been in the talking stages for a while, and at one point if plans went through as scheduled, Edge would already have turned heel and be working with Chris Benoit right now as a heel. There is still talk of a major makeover for Edge including a new haircut, brand new overall appearance, and different persona. We'll have to wait and see. Edge On turning heel: "There's a definite chance the fans may turn me heel and that would be cool. I'm better wrestling-wise as a babyface but I find it much easier to get people to hate me - and it would be fun to do that again!" On cutting his hair: "I'd actually like to get my hair cut, I'm sick of it! If it was up to me it would be short right now." |
Edge at his best wrestle-wise as a face? Dear god, what heel Edge going to be like?
Well at least if Edge was a main event heel it would be different from HHH, and better than Hendry.| QUOTE |

Maybe we'll find out what the infamous Little Johhny is this time around, but unless they do it in like a month, we'll never know...cuz in a month he'll be gone...he'll hurt people and get booed out of the arena...and they'll send him back down to OVW

| Ken Shamrock has told TNA that he will only be working an average of one show per week for the company. He recently told company officials that he has custody of his children, and can not be away from home more than once a week all the time. From what we've heard, D-Lo Brown was not very pleased about doing the job for Monty Brown on last week's TNA PPV. D-Lo refrained from complaining to management about the situation because he did not want to be put in a position where he would be labeled as someone that refuses to do jobs. Though, many backstage circles feel that Monty is being pushed too hard and agree that he should not have gotten the victory over D-Lo. Shane Douglas continues to be extremely pleased with his role as a backstage agent with the company. Last week before the PPV, Douglas was backstage giving instruction to Chad Collyer, Onyx, and Hotstuff Hernandez about how to feed their opponents for comebacks. Vince Russo did not attend the Impact! taping last Thursday. Many think that he is now so frustrated with most of his ideas being shot down, he is no showing TNA shows. Russo was sitting in on the creative meetings with Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantel but most of his ideas were being shot down. - The general feeling backstage is that NASCAR announcer Jeff Hammonds was not a good fit on Impact! - Ryan Wilson, formerly a member of the Red Shirt Security, recently worked some dark matches as a masked man named Titus. He impressed management to the point where there is talk of putting him back on TV. - Low-Ki was backstage at the TNA PPV last Wednesday but not identified. |

| I was looking around on WWE.com, and noticed that they have a new subsite called Spotlight. It features a certain superstar, and lists their accomplishments, greatest matches and so much more. It also has merchandise links and such too, which is cool. Right now the Spotlight is on Chris Benoit. It's sort of like the old WWF Magazine featurette they used to have in the early 1990's called "WWF Spotlight", which was a full magazine devoted to a certain superstar. You can view the subsite at the following URL: http://spotlight.wwe.com/ |
Now WWE news;
| QUOTE |
| - One of the biggest concerns in WWE right now is the alarmingly low level of recent attendance, mainly at house shows. Recent shows have often drawn less than 2000 fans and sometimes even below 1000 fans. Many shows have even been dropped completely due to low advance ticket sales. The low attendance is also hurting wrestlers who are getting extremely low payoffs since most are paid based on gates. The Smackdown crew is especially down since they have been doing much worse than RAW. To make things worse, the feeling among Smackdown workers is that things will not improve. |
Me thinks they should do more shows over here then
Maybe also think of merging the brands again, at least until things have sorted themselves out.News on Bret vs Flair;
| QUOTE |
| Several wrestlers past and present have spoken out on the highly popular Bret Hart/Ric Flair public war of words, shedding insight mainly on their similar claim that the other guy wasn't as good a wrestler as history made them out to be. The general consensus amongst those who have offered comments were that both were as good as their stock represents. Dusty Rhodes told 1wrestling.com, "the greatest wrestler to lace his boots was the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Nobody in the business today and nobody in the history of the business could lace Ric Flair’s boots." In reference to Bret Hart, Rhodes said, "Having never had the privilege of actually wrestling with Bret Hart, it is hard to acknowledge his claim of being the best there ever was. Bret Hart went from Calgary to the WWF and made his name. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him." Another "Nature Boy", Buddy Landel told 1wrestling.com, "I've wrestled them both and if my thoughts mean anything, here goes! Ric Flair is the single greatest wrestler (bar none) that has ever been in our business. You see Flair arriving, you know here comes the champ. See him in the airport, here comes the champ. In the ring you get your money's worth - if you could ever find a seat! To the few, including myself, who have had the pleasure of wrestling the world champ, it was a tough long night ahead of you and you'd better be in shape. Bret was decent but a robot in my opinion. To someone who wrestled them both there was no comparison. Ric Flair has earned the right to say what ever the hell he wants to say." |
Buddy Landel, your an a$$. Nothing gives Flair the right to claim someone used their brothers' death to better their career.

Thre's talk of Taker vs Bradshaw fued in which Taker would regain the title. However a lot of the writters are scared Taker wouldn't put over Bradshaw as he's one of his major critics.

JBL is hilarious!!! Who in the hell SANITIZES their hands before a wrestling match? Thats is funny as hell!!!
His finishing move although simple is very dramtic and impacting kind of like Hulk Hogans Leg Drop. ( Childhood Memories )
Still Triple H, Evolution, and Kurt Angle are my favs, but Im really starting to like JBL'S character. I used to be a big fan of Chris Jericho, but they just don't give him enough push anymore. Jericho should be a title contender.
I hope they keep pushing JBL!!! I think one day he will be one of the greats. I guarantee that.
That is why I like JBL.

Kurt Angle is a good choice for a favorite...as is Chris Jericho...It doesn't mater about the push, as long as he wrestles and showcases his skills. The push would most likely cause him to have a heel turn, like when he was the undisputed champ...

| Many are questioning why Eddie Guerrero did not work safer matches this week when he knew he had a sore hamstring. The move being looked at the most is his frogsplash off the top of the cage on Smackdown. John Bradshaw Layfield ended up kicking out of the move, which made many wonder if the risk was worth it. |
No, cause it just makes Eddie's finisher (off off a cage) look like nothing.

| WWE released former tag team champion Rikishi yesterday. Rikishi had been out of action with an ankle injury and there were those in the company that felt he wasn’t exactly hurrying to return as quickly as he could have due to the fact that he had a high downside guarantee and thus made just as much money not working as he would have working. There was also a recent incident where he appeared on an independent show, which I was told was not cleared with the office beforehand. I also know that the company had wanted him to lose some weight so that they could possibly change his gimmick, but he hadn’t done so. Talk of him being released as soon as he was cleared to wrestle, which he was about a week ago, has been going on for a while now. It has finally happened. |

More infor on SmackDown 6;
| QUOTE |
| I can reveal, that the new match type on this years WWE SmackDown game, will be The Parking Lot Brawl. This will be the only new match type for this year. Also, THQ confirmed the following superstars for the game: John Cena, Randy Orton, Booker T, Ric Flair, Batista, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Rico, and Charlie Haas. Additionally, we learned that Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Eric Bischoff will also be in the game in a greater capacity than they were before. Finally, THQ touched on some of the more presentational aspects of Smackdown! vs. RAW and revealed that for the first time in the series' history, the game will receive all-new music for the menu screens and in-game wrestling matches. What makes this musical enhancement even more interesting, though, is the fact that it will boast licensed tracks from established industry stars. Who these bands or individual singers will be, however, have not yet be revealed. Another new presentational tidbit that's sure to please fans is the fact thay all the transition screens from Smackdown! and RAW television programming (ie: the graphics used to illustrate championship matches, the 'tale of tape' versus screens, and similar pre and post-match visuals) has been included as well, and the championship belts can finally be used as a weapon during matches. Even better, is that in an effort to add even more realism, Yuke's has implanted a new blur filter effect for submission moves to illustrate the pain or grogginess associated with the pain (it's also possible that this effect will be used for powerful blows to the head as well, but THQ still hasn't finalized that yet). |

| Chris Jericho is putting his alterego “Mongoose McQueen” to rest for future Fozzy recordings. Jericho is said to be very happy with the original music the band has produced and wants to continue on that route moving forward. |

| Jim Ross recently went on record and used the word “challenging” to describe several aspects of the Great American Bash PPV which fell far below anyone’s expectations. He stated that Kenzo Suzuki, Luther Reigns, and Mordecai weren’t established yet and not ready for PPVs. He gave the overall PPV a slight thumbs down. |
Anyone remember I was off the week of GAB because I was depressed at the new low WWE had hit. Well my fears were justified, for only if a ppv was truely truely bad would the WWE ever give it negative press, even if that is just 'slight thumbs down'.

| The WWE is still looking at possibly expanding their developmental territory system although there aren’t any specifics available at this time. |
You'd think that they would have found out a long long time ago that to continue a product which needs a regular breed of new talent that development camps are esential. Certainly we fans have known of such things since we learned Angels and Beniots do not grow on trees.

I was playing Smackdown HCTP today...and I was wondering why when you enter with a title belt, it is very strange looking...its very wide and appears to be floating in mid air...they should incorporate an option on the CAW menu to adjust the way you enter with a belt(i.e. around your waist, over your shoulder, in your hand, etc.)
and the way your belt fits around your waist.
and the way your belt fits around your waist.
I'd like them to main the Make-a-stabel opinion mean something. I remember in SD2 if you made a stable it was great cause every forth match you were taged with them, every second match they interefered for you and ever show they gave you at least one cut scene with them. However in 4 and 5 (3 didn't even bother to have a career mode) the guys in your stable don't do anything.

Not quite as bad as SD3, where the belts were horribly wide....anyone remember the way the women's title was about nine yards wider than the champ's waist?
Was just weird....I think the reason you've having trouble is because your character may by too thin (or fat for that matter) for the belt. It should fit on most of the characters.| QUOTE |

I think this whole draft thing is ruining the WWE. One show usually has all the good superstars and when that happens, the other show is suffering. We've come down to Bradshaw of all WWE superstars to be the Undisputed Champion. I'd rather see Faarooq be champ than Bradshaw. They could actually make a good storyline out of Faarooq.

Anyway. The split was good for the mid-cards who are now getting used, however due to the division of main events they simply do not have the same draw. Plus, since the main event has the same 3 people for years on end it means we don't get to see much change.
I think until they can get more main event draws they need to reunit the rosters, at least main event level (so long as they get rid of Bradshaw, I on't want him hogging time on RAW as well as SD). They can still have the mid-cards remaining on their shows so they don't have to compete against each other, however the main event scene needs more people (not neccessarily more time) to draw back audiences.

I like the idea of Rhyno and Tajiri, they can be some kind of ECW team, then have them start a fued with La Resistance and some other team, maybe start busting out weapons during some matches, just to give the tag team division a revival.
Also on the last Raw, there was a hint that Hurricane might drop the gimmick, and I hope he does because the superhero thing has gotten stale so he could turn heel maybe and call himself Gregory Helms or Shane Helms and get a push into the IC title division.Or Rosey can become a real Superhero and they can have a fued

Since they are so obbessed with this 'I'm Japanese and still Angry anout lossing WW2' gimmic with Kenzo, couldn't they have instead have given it to Ultimo and pushed him. Ultimo is far more talented than Kenzo, he is far more well known that Kenzo, and far more deserving of a push than Kenzo.

In other news, my old efed has opened once again
For those who are unaware of what an e-fed is...
And e-fed is a role playing site, in which you take on the role of a wrestler in a fantasy fed. Although some e-feds base themselves around real life wrestlers, ours requires that you create your own (much better and more rewarding). You are booked in matches at a weekly card, and at large monthly events, for which you're required to cut promos.
The quality of your promos are graded and whoever cuts the best promo is judged the winner of the match. If you're unsure of example what will be required of you in a promo, contact me and I'll send you an example or two
Be warned though, competition is extremely stiff; I've been a lot of e-feds, and none of them have had the same quality of writers the SOH does.
It should also be noted that you won't get any generated results here Everything is hand writen by a very talented group of writers, who make sure every match is unique and exciting
If you're interested in joining, contact me for the address
It should be noted that Vince, in his infinite wisdom, is attempted to shut e-feds down, claiming it as copyright infringment. As the SOH doesn't use any WWE names, terms, and so on, and Vince can't claim to have invented wrestling (nor do we ask money for joining) I'm not really sure how he intends to go about doing this, and we'll probably slip by
Vince also intends to start up his own e-fed, that will charge $30 to join. Vince is a megalomanic, and will be destroyed at a later time. There's a petition going round to stop him doing this though, so you never know.

| Sources close to Eddie Guerrero tell us that while Eddie was not very happy about losing the WWE Title to Bradshaw, he was relieved of not having the pressure that went along with being the champion any longer. Eddie was concerned that a lot of fingers were pointed at him for the poor business that Smackdown has been doing, and he won't have to deal with as much of that now that he does not hold the brand's top prize. |
Yeah, cause the fact that his rivals were all mid-carders have nothing to do with it

On Eugene;

| QUOTE |
| Many wrestlers backstage feel that Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) has a good head on his shoulders and understands the tone to take in the ring and how to pull a character like that off. The character was Dinsmore's idea in the first place as well, so the fact that he actually wanted to use this character and try to make it work is another thing that the company has been praising of Dinsmore along with the fact that he has gotten over so well. There is a lot of feeling that Dinsmore is deserving of the big push he is getting as Eugene, and sources are reporting that the Eugene character has some long-term plans behind it currently. One source has even told us that "Eugene's going to be around for a while." |

| WWE recently filed a lawsuit against Marvel Comics so that they could maintain the rights to the "Hulk Hogan" name as they launch their WWE 24/7 Video On Demand service. Bloomberg Newswire ran an article today in which Marvel claims that WWE's rights to the name expired this month, though WWE claims that they own the rights until March of 2005. Without the Hogan name, WWE cannot market and distribute the WWF, WCW, and WWE matches that they want to use as part of the WWE 24/7 service. WWE had originally licensed the rights from Marvel Comics back in 1985 when the company came forward saying that Hogan's ring name was infringing on the rights of the "Incredible Hulk" character, which was created by Stan Lee back in the 1960's. The original agreement between the two sides covered the names "Hulk Hogan", "The Hulkster", and "Hulkamania." One of the main reasons why WCW often pushed the "Hollywood" Hogan name rather than "Hulk Hogan" was due to the legalities of the actual Hulk Hogan name. |

| As announced on RAW last night by Eric Bischoff, there will be a 60 man iron man match next week on RAW featuring Triple H vs. Chris Benoit for the World title. The match will start off at the very beginning of the show and will go until the 10:00EST hour. The man who gets the most decisions in one hour will be announced the winner of the match. |
Oh for f****'s sakes. Didn't Angle vs Brock tell them anything, without hype matches of that length of time get boring real fast (for the Couch fans). The match has Beniot in it and with most likely be brillant, however a match that size needs to be shown on PPV with a lot ofhype to get people interested, otherwise just like Brock vs Angle they turn off after 25 minutes and then come back for the last five.
At least, its a step back onto wrestling again as opposed to promo after promo after promo.
