SHARON'S EDGE

     Greetings, sports entertainment fans! Hope everyone had a good turkey day! Well I got my wrestling itch,scratched very well this past week with an ECW house show in my hometown-Trenton, New Jersey. It was a great show and it wasn't until afterwards that I realized there was no Raven, Tommy Dreamer or RVD! The main event was the monster rookie Rhino vs. the Sandman (who I made sure to pat on the back as he went by!) I took my nephew, who was excited to run into Justin Credible in the men's room! Believe me, it took a lot of restraint for me not to run in there!!!  We were also introduced to the Dupp family-kind of a cross between the Dudleys and 'Deliverance'. There is also Kid Cash, who was Nova's partner in lieu of the injured Chris Chetti. He reminded me of Jerry Lynn.
    Chris did come out but it was to curse the Dupps out and introduce Jazz into the tag team match. She did an awesome job as usual. I like her, she reminds me a lot of Chyna-she's not afraid to fight men and she's not afraid of taking bumps! But then none of the ECW women are. Lance Storm and Dawn Marie were at the show but they just signed autographs in the lobby. Needless to say, my nephew made a beeline for her table! All in all, it was a great show! Speaking of great shows, I really enjoyed RAW this week-what a swerve! There are some who swear they saw it coming but I didn't!!!! Personally I was waiting for the Undertaker to come out to reclaim his bride. I do love this development with HHH though! Can't wait for Smackdown.
       As usual, Chyna and Chris Jericho were great too. They have such chemistry! I was telling Rebecca
 it would be so cool if, after beating her at Armageddon, he just took her in his arms and gave her a deep
 long kiss. I mean, come on, isn't all this anger just misdirected sexual tension? Little boys are always mean
 to the little girls that they like. Come on, Chris, 'fess up! You want Chyna! You know you do! I also have to
 admit that I was wrong about putting Miss Kitty with Chyna. Giving her a girl friend has softened Chyna.
 I wasn't sure what to make of this pairing at first but I really like it now!
    Excuse me, I have some severe random thoughts to get off my chest!

  • Why is Stephanie hanging out with Moolah and Mae? Why weren't any of the WWF women (the younger ones, that is!) at the bachelorette party?
  • I'm sorry, usually I'm all for a sensitive man but please, for God's sake, please don't let Mark Henry read another poem on tv again!!!!God that poem to Test & Steph SUCKED!!!!!!!
  • Big props to Mick Foley for having the #1 book on the New York Times Bestsellers list! Take that all you wrestling snobs! (And to think, I used to be one!!!)
  • God, I HATE Xpuke!!! Please let Kane break him in half at Armageddon!!! I want that boy in a bloody heap at Kane's feet!!!
  • Continuing in this vitriolic vein-what the HELLL was that wedding song?? God, it SUCKED too!!! Did Mark Henry write that song? Couldn't Vince afford to pay some real singers to do it? Was Aaron Neville or Babyface not available? How about Usher-he's got a movie that needs some publicity!
  • Damn, Edge, Christian and D'Lo in tuxes? WOW!!! I was drooling. If they had gotten the Rock in a tux, you would've had to mop me up off the floor. Speaking of that-where was the bachelor party? I'd a paid to see that!
  • I was dying when HHH was speaking for Steph-he really is too cute when he's being bad. I wonder how Chyna feels about this whole marriage thing.
  • I can't believe how quickly big sponsors like Coke, Mars/M&M, and AT&T are dropping the WWF. Even one of NJ's councilmen has jumped on the bashing bandwagon, despite having never watched the show! I think NJ's got bigger problems than the what the WWF is doing. And I'm really tired of uninformed people taking a stand. Why don't you watch something before you pass judgement or is that a foreign concept?  These people read bits and pieces and make up their own show-according to one of my local radio stations-the Big Boss Man actually dug up Paul Wight's dad and desecrated the body! Did you see that happen? I didn't and I have the tape to prove it!
  • Here's a novel idea-I have a kid and I'll raise it. I'll teach him/her right from wrong so when he/she watches a show like this, he/she will know it's entertainment and not to be taken seriously! And if your child takes it seriously, explain that it's just a show!  Come on, what I see on Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer makes the WWF look like Sesame Street! And their stories are real!!!!! Give me a break. It just amazes me how the WWF is held responsible for the moral decay of society-I'm sure not all these kids who are shooting up their schools were regular watchers.
  • Say you get the WWF off of TV-will everything be alright again? Will it be sunny skies and birds singing? Or will you just look for a new scapegoat? I have a suggestion for you, PTC and others like you, here's a novel idea-instead of bothering the WWF sponsors-spend that time with YOUR  kids. I'm sure they would appreciate the attention.
Until next time, dear readers,
Sharon
