I've read and heard many people say that there going to take a break from the WWF this week. I'm not sure yet if I will be in this category, but I can understand the feeling. There have been so many times where I've sworn off a certain federation because of stupid, non wrestling segments, but this week I'm not sure. Yes, I thought it was stupid. It was stupid. I've spoken on the Ezboard too many times this week on why it was stupid. But I've also spoken on why my opinion just doesn't matter, and I'll get into that in a bit. I will also speak on why Steve Anderson makes me feel like my arm is asleep while I'm trying to slumber. All in good time. But first I'd like to talk about WCW, because at least for now, I'm a big fan, big fan here.

This week I was deprived of the second hour of Nitro because my friend fell asleep and I didn't want to force him to get neck cramps on my behalf. (I still don't have cable, thankx a lot ADAM) But what I saw in the first hour was enough for me. For a long time I defended Nitro to the naysayers, thinking that this last 'dry spell' would soon be over. And once again, I get that feeling. I'm sure when EB takes over, it's going to be great, and it will get competitive, Kidman will be the champ, and I'll get layed. But things worry me people, things like Lex Luger and Rick Steiner. I watched the Lex/O'Haire match and I thought I was having an out of body experience. BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE TO HAVE BEEN THE ONLY ONE WATCHING THAT MATCH, OR HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FIRED AS SOON AS HIS OLD, WORTHLESS ASS WALKED BACKSTAGE. The amount of effort he put fourth in his match would have made the group of people cut from the LA Clippers, Cincinnati Bengal's, and Minnesota Twins look like a frikin all star team. And he knows this. He knows that he can go out there, bounce his bitch tittes around, smile, and call it a night with no repercussions. That is just so wrong I can't find the words to appropriately convey my upset-tid-ness. Then there's Rick Steiner. When people say WCW belts don't mean anything, he helps the argument way too much. Why is Rick Stiener holding the US title? No, I'm asking because I have no clue. They were doing so well in building it up to quality belt again, and now this. We had Lance Storm, Huge Morris, and Shane Douglas holding it for a reason, because they could wrestle. I don't care who your brother is, you suck. You may have been OK back in the day, but you just suck now. I know he won't realize this, but why can't WCW just figure it out? I know WCW would probably be just as screwed up if I ran it, so I'm not going to say what I would do if I was in charge, but I will say this: If you want to be good, not even great, but if you want to be good again, stop pushing people who make the audience want to curl up in the fetal position, cry and wet themselves. This is not rocket science. Is there a book out there called "Running a Wrestling Promotion for Dummies", because I would be more than happy to flip the bill.

This week I'm going to introduce a new feature I like to call the                     "Lex Luger Moment of My Life"

And this weeks moment is.....

My fire alarm went off in my apartment building two days ago. Instead of going outside to wait for the all clear, or even open my door to check for smoke, I sat on the couch and hoped for the best.

That was this week's "Lex Luger Moment of My Life"

If there's one thing Vince Russo did right, it was putting the lazy wrestlers in their place. But I will end my Luger/Steiner bashing for now. I'm beginning to worry about stroking out, and I don't have a LifeLink chain around MY neck.

Onto happier notes. I thought Paul Heymann did a fine job doing color. He occasionally freaked me out with his death/gloom stare into the camera, but for the most part, I can't complain. Heenan would have made me mark out like crazy, but what do you expect. It's funny, on Monday night and early Tuesday, people were crazy about Heymann, then the tide shifted in a negative direction. People want to be agreed with on this crazy infor-webtion-super-net and it usually means that there real feelings get dumped for popular opinion. That's fine for me I guess, as long as everyone agrees that I'm smart. (hehe) This brings me to my next point, why my opinion doesn't matter.

You see, unless there is a major revolt or something, nothing will change. Like I said on one of the many Trish/Vince threads, we Internet speculators don't really affect anything. Every night, Vince goes to sleep thinking he's a genius. The people at the WWF won't say anything, because he'll fire them, and don't think for a minute that he takes what WE say to heart. Vince is not a wrestler, but he desperately wants to be. He wants to headline WM, he wants to wear the gold, and he knows it's just not going to happen. So what does he do? He puts himself on TV every week and takes time from the amazing talent that the FED already has. I can think of 20 different matches I would have rather seen than his old, ego driven ass out there screaming at a whipping girl. I did not see Essay Rios ONCE on Raw. Maybe I'm just a Rios mark, but shit Vince, you have the best talent in the business, you have to choose between great people everynight to put on TV because your over stocked, and we still have to see you doing promo's that only serve to inflate your head. My friend Adam (CABLE I SAY!) told me he would rather watch Matlock than the WWF right now. It's tempting, what with his crazy case solving chicaneries and all, but I think I will hang in there a while longer. Now if there were an all "Family Ties" channel, I would so watch that. Alex P. Keeten is money I tell you, money.

Maybe we could make this a theme: This week's "Vince McMahon's Moment of My Life"

A very good friend of mine called me late last night. He was very depressed and wondering where he fit into this society. He wanted someone to just listen to him, and show some semblance of care. I interrupted him and started talking about how I can't figure out how to self-clean my oven, and he hung-up on me.

That was this week's "Vince McMahon's Moment of My Life"

I'm thirsty.

And oh goodie, we were treated to another wonderful same four guys tag match main event on RAW. Boy I tell you, no matter how they pair these guys, I never get tired of seeing it. I mean, there all so good, why not put them in the same match every week? Remember the 80's when the main event-every week- was Hogan beating a heel? I do. And I'm glad to see that were still running on the same philosophy. 10-minute match-mixed tag match goes for a while-in comes interference-faces overcome adversity-win match-SCSA drinks beer. Wow, that's entertainment.

I'm still thirsty.

You know what was nice to see this week-Grappling. There are a few moves that should have never been phased out, like the full nelson, or the introductory lock-up. This week Lita and Ivory locked up before they got into it, and I was tickled pink. Then, on Nitro, (What's on Nitro?) I saw it again! I don't know why it makes me giddy, but I just think it's a solid way to start a match. What better way to size up your opponent than to have a power struggle before any punches are thrown. I love to see someone throw the other into the corner out of said hold, it just looks cool. If it does end up being SCSA vs. The Rock at WM XVII (I refuse to write X-7) (I know I just did, thanks..) I want to see them lock up. Make it a throw back type match. Reach out your hand to your opponent and when he goes to shake it, kick him in the 'kisser'. And I want the announcers to use the word 'Kisser' more too. This may be a lot to ask, but if we work together, we can make magic baby!

I was going to speak on Steve Anderson's column this week, but I really don't want to give him my time, so instead ill just introduce yet another: "Steve Anderson Moment of my Life"

A guy was telling me about how his transmission went out on him, and after he got it fixed, he blew a tire on the freeway. To this I replied, "Well, that's what having car's is all about, so unless you like car problems, you don't like cars"

That was this weeks "Steve Anderson Moment of My Life"

Thank you Steve, for showing me the error in my ways.

I wanted to pose another question to the readers this week, let me know what you think.

Do you think Y-PAC is really HHH?

Just kidding, or am I?

The real question:

What kind of stunt or anything would make you actually stop watching a certain wrestling promotion? Or if you have already, what did it for you?

OK people, I will retire for this week, but remember, if your feedback were a high priced cereal, I wouldn't wait for coupons to buy it in large quantities!

Jengebreth@hotmail.com or getanotherday@aol.com

Until next time, Remember: Wearing your pants backwards like Kris Kross may sound cool, but the ramifications of such a lopsided wardrobe change would only serve to get funny looks from elderly people.

I love you America
