SHARON'S EDGE

    Greetings, sports fans! Well, obviously the big snow clouded my crystal ball because my Royal Rumble predictions were completely off. OK, I admit it, I SUCKED!! Let's take another look, shall we? I predicted the Dudleys were going to break the Hardys, Bob Holly was going to win the IC belt, the Acolytes coming out on top, Kurt Angle staying undefeated, Kat winning Miss Royal Rumble and the Rock losing. Geez! This is the worst I've ever done. The only thing I turned out right about was HHH winning, although I predicted it would be due to DX interference. I have to agree with Rebecca, the Hardys-Dudleys match stole the show. The Hardys may have been broken but they still walked away from that match winners!
    And I totally marked out when Tazz walked to the ring! Right now he seems to be playing the Clint Eastwood role-no talking, he just comes out, defeats you and walks away. I have to agree with my fellow slasher, Scott Rees (Rees Peice of Mind) -I'm waiting for Tazz for get on that mic and ream Kurt Angle for his three I's and gold medals. As a matter of fact, Tazz should just read the lines Scott wrote. They sound like exactly what he should say (send that resume to Titan Land, Scott!) As for the Miss Royal Rumble match-the less said, the better..But it seems the crowd wasn't into it until Mae Young joined the fray.
    I can't help but laugh at Mae going topless as it seems to be Vince's way of thumbing his nose at the people who criticized Kat's last PPV peepshow as well as the horny guys who bought the PPV just to see puppies. Well, you saw 'em, guys! I was surprised that WWF's Lucas wasn't happy with the topless bits at either PPV nor was he happy with the skimpy wear worn by Jackie and Terri. That's strange coming from a guy who doesn't want to see women wrestle. Anyway-I'm almost to the point where I want to say, Vince just drop the ladies. You obviously have no respect for their skills. The women's belt is as meaningless as that hardcore belt. To have the Kat holding it is as big a joke as when Debra had it. At least Sable defended it, mostly by wrestling for it! ( I can't believe I said that!) It might as well stayed in the garbage can where Medusa threw it.
    I give HHH big props for that long bloody battle with Cactus Jack and actually winning it without
any help from DX. As for the Rumble itself, well again I have to agree with Rebecca-what the hell was Road Dogg doing? Lying in a fetal position with your legs and arms wrapped around the rope has no place in the ring! The MSP and Kaientai were amusing with all the run-ins, I guess the WWF wanted to throw us off with that list they posted. I certainly didn't expect to see Y2J or Chyna or Bob Backlund! Rikishi did such a great job I almost expected him to be the last man standing. I'm a Rock fan but I wouldn't have been disappointed if he didn't win, after all, there are quite a few shows between now and Wrestlemania!
    OK, the McMahon-Helmsley era-had enough, bored now. The DX run-ins, they're have the main belts. Well, HHH is doing well with what he's doing but why do the Outlaws still have those belts???
I really wanted the Acolytes to stomp those two!! Actually I would love to see the Hardys get those belts back and for a minute there, I thought the Dudleys were going to help them. Not that Matt and Jeff needed their help. As for Terri going through the table-well, it was obvious Buh Buh kept her protected but it was a great heel move! I love those Dudleys! I hope to see them hold the tag team belts somewhere down the road too! Actually, I was hoping the Dudleys would interfere after the
Hardys took the belts but it didn't happen. Oh well.
    I didn't enjoy Smackdown this week and I have to rant- even though we all saw it coming, I am really disgusted with the big red machine getting betrayed YET AGAIN!!!! I was grossed out by that greasy Xpuke and trashy Tori making out too! But come on, every time Kane trusts someone they turn on him-this is getting old and very irksome. I'm the first to admit I hated the p----whipped Kane storyline featuring that woman ( much like JR trying to convince us the NAO are the greatest tag team, 'King' is really trying to sell us on how hot Tori is-sorry I don't buy it) But I'm hoping this latest betrayal just leads Kane back to his brother and they team up to wreak hell all over the WWF.
    A girl can dream...........
    Until next time,

Sharon
