Sharon's Edge

Don't just sit there and kayefabe like an idiot
                            The Rock to Michael Cole

Well, it's me, it's me-it's the original "Stone Cold" Sharon Austin! So many things to talk about but let's start with the whole Meat episode from Heat-damn, Vince! That was pretty risque for the family friendly hour of 7pm! What did Terri put in that drink-Viagra? The Big Boss Man was at his funniest with that match-the looks he was giving Meat's 'predicament' were priceless! And the look of panic when he 'felt' Meat behind him-classic!!! Then for him to go from funny back to menacing when he came down to confront Al Snow 'and his little dog too'- I think I'm becoming a BBM fan!

You know I've noticed people have been discussing just what kind of relationship Chyna & HHH have but from the admiring looks and hands-on approach BA Billy Gunn and Chyna have, I want to know what's going on with them! And obviously HHH is too self centered and single-minded to notice! If he had, he wouldn't have been so willing to 'loan' Chyna to B.A.! Wonder if GTV will catch them in a compromising position?

Well, J.R. said it would be a classic RAW and that it most definitely was! WOW! Starting with the Rock's opening remarks-"Welll..It's the Big Slow!"...."I'm going to go take a leak, this guy sucks!"...and his hilarious impression of TBS' big hand thingy-I was almost peeing my pants! Damn, he looks so good and he makes me laugh-my dream man! (I'm a Rock mark so sue me!) Then of course, he gets a beatdown, poor baby. That's OK, sweetie, you got some good shots in first!

I was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of HBK and he looked good! I hadn't heard anything about him being there-Snoop Dogg and Smashing Pumpkins were all over the Net reports but nothing about HBK.

You know I wish they wouldn't let X-Pac holler in the mic so much, his interviews are second to Steve Blackman in the grating zone. They should both just let their in-ring skills do their talking for them. Take a tip from Kane! My poor eardrums! (And someone tell Steve Blackman to turn to the camera when he's speaking!)

The Christian/ Gangrel match was much better than I thought it would be-both really shined! I haven't seen Gangrel look that good in a long time! And Christian was awesome-damn, that tornado DDT! Of course, with the run-in of the Hardyz, it had to deteriorate into a Chris beatdown-poor baby. After the way Michael Hayes has been with them lately, I wasn't surprised to see the Hardyz turn on him. I think it would be cool to see Gangrel and them form a more brutal Brood!

After reading Jesse Ventura's book, I was looking forward to what he had to say but much like Rebecca said, some of those remarks flew over my head. I know they were jabs at Hogan (Hey! He stole my Bozo hair line!)but I loved his telling HHH to work on his wrestling moves-oohh, the truth hurts! I also have to hand it to him for staying so cool and refusing to let HHH goad him into a fight. And of course the arrival of HBK was icing on the cake, especially when he gave HHH the good old crotch chop-nice to see you haven't forgotten your roots, HBK! (Too bad the camera wasn't facing him when he did it!)

I'm confused about this whole JJ/Val/Debra thing-wasn't it just a few weeks ago Debra set up Val to lose during a match with JJ? See what I mean about writers and their short memories? I'm wondering what Debra would do without JJ or any man at her side-she can't wrestle-I say they let her join JR and King, or better yet, Michael Cole and Kevin Kelly at ringside. I would think she's been around wrestling long enough to have some knowledge of it. Besides, it would be cool to have a woman at ringside! (of course, I don't know if you'd be able to hear her over the 'puppy' chants!)

Speaking of short memories-wasn't it just a few weeks ago that HHH was telling us that looking at Chyna as 'just a woman' was a mistake? Hmm, I guess it only applies if it concerns him. *It's MY Time!* Hey, HHH, want some cheese to go with that whine?! I loved Chyna's reaction and HHH subsequent sputtering to try to make amends. *I didn't mean it that way!* Hee hee! Wonder how this will affect their union-will it drive her into the arms of Billy Gunn? Sorry, I've been reading too many romance novels lately.

Needless to say, I'm an Acolytes fan so I was sorry to see them lose their belts, even if it was to X-Pac & Kane. He more than carries that tag team! I really like Kane but I kinda tired of seeing him save X-Pac's scrawny butt. He was once the heavyweight champ- I really hope with his newfound popularity that he gets a title shot again-Alone. I don't know how I feel about his apparent joining up with DX because I don't think he needs them. Sorry, folks, I wasn't there for the whole DX formation so I have no feelings about them one way or another.

I thought the whole G-TV angle was dropped, seeing that we hadn't had one for the last 2 weeks. And after this week's installment, I'm still convinced it stands for GAG-TV. Did we really need that close-up of Mr. Ass' red and itchy asset? YUK! And I was surprised after all the internet rumors of Stone Cold's ego running amok, he would allow himself to avoid being a part of this years biggest shows. I guess the WWF wants him to take care of that injury to make sure he's in shape for SummerSlam. Good idea.

Now-Jericho. I'd never seen Chris Jericho in action but the way everyone on the Internet was salivating over his WWF arrival, I found myself swept up in the fervor. Well, if he wrestles the way he speaks, I can't wait for his first match! And what guts to take on the most electrifying man in sports entertainment! After his remarks about the mediocrity in the WWF, I was surprised someone,anyone, didn't come out to pummel him! He's certainly trying not to make friends, and after that run-in to screw up the Rock's match-these two will be facing off very soon!

Well, the triple threat match was interesting, with Chyna taking several big bumps (well, except for that rather gentle chokeslam). Contrary to some opinions, I think Chyna is one of the best! She's got more moves than HHH! And hey, if a man knocks you down-the best thing is a nutshot! (Not that I have any experience with that!) And we know the real reason SCSA helped her in that match was just another way of giving the middle finger to HHH!!

Now it's MY time-to say see you next week! Until next time, dear readers.
