SHARON'S EDGE

God, I hate Valentine's Day! Aside from New Year's Eve, it's the one holiday that really makes it seem like this is Noah's Ark and you're without a partner! Paint that L on your forehead, honey! Oh well, at least I'll have RAW late night, I can curl up with the likes of Rocky, Edge and my new heart stealer, Matt Hardy (look for Rebecca and I to do our version of 'The Boy is Mine' soon on CRZ!). Oh that's right, this is a wrestling column, not a lonely hearts one, sorry, back to work!

Just add my shout of approval to all the others-RAW rocked! Checklist: didn't foresee the Radicals heel turn, enjoyed (although guiltily) Mae Young's bump, hated Chris & Edge losing to NAO, but loved the Dudleys heckling JR, hoping that women's match is the start of REAL women's matches that last longer, did love that ddt Gangrel did on Jacky but wished he'd had a male opponent to put it on, hate when matches go in the back to concession stands but enjoyed the Acolytes getting their drink on, cracked up when Viscera slipped and fell, really hate when I see D'Lo with the Godfather, really enjoyed that 10 man match and marked out big time to see Kane back in killer mode!

I'm really glad Jacky got a hometown hero's welcome. The WWF guys seem to have no real confidence in her, aside from her bad mic skills, I don't know why. Actually, aside from Ivory and Terri, none of the women have any particular skill on the mic. But most of the male wrestlers are like that too! I mean, I like Paul Wight but he should wear a bib when he talks! And if you're in front of him, please have an umbrella! Prince Albert, Big Boss Man, and Xpac should also have the mics taken away. And I cringe when the Godfather speaks but it's more for what he says than how he says it. Pimpin' ain't easy? Puh-leez!

Speaking of keeping the mic away from certain people-is it me or is Stephanie's voice getting higher and sharper every time we see her? When she was sneering down the ramp at Cactus Jack, I was torn between covering my ears and waiting to read what she said on CRZ's recaps or just suffering. It's OK, I suffered but the cotton in my ears soaked up all the blood. Steph, could you take a leaf out of Hori's book and just shut up while gazing adoringly at your husband? Please?

I thought Chris Jericho looked a little lost without Chyna at his side, although I'm still mystified at just what their partnership is about. Of course, everyone (else) is predicting Chyna will stab Y2J in the back and rejoin DX but I don't know. I don't think she'll fit in DX now, at least not with Steph in the picture. I saw an article in one of the WWF magazines that hinted at Debra possibly managing Chyna when she came back-that would be interesting.......

Why do I feel embarrassed when I see Arsenio Hall on those phone commercials? The way that young girl says 'And you are?' I just wait for him to stand up and say, 'Hey kid, I'm Arsenio Hall, I had a late night talk show that was a big deal!' Tsk..tsk..short attention span, people. I went off subject again but I've been wanting to bring that up since I first saw that commercial! Snotty kid! Anyway---OOOOOoooo.. James Brown on Nitro....Hulk vs. Flair...WOW..... Happy freakin' Valentine's Day to me!

Until next time,
Sharon
