Greetings sports entertainment fans! First of all, I want to 'welcome back*clap clap* welcome back' our esteemed webmaster from vacation. Traveled around AND found a soulmate,eh? Then the icing on the cake was taking in Smackdown too! He IS a lucky so and so, isn't he? And secondly, more importantly is the 1st Anniversary (and counting!) of [slash] !!!! WHOO HOOO!!! Congratulations! Seems like only yesterday, Rebecca pointed out this site to me and I found myself enjoying the recaps of one CRZ. Brings a tear to one's eye *sniff* to see how it's grown-the site, that is! So I send CRZ the most sincere best wishes on the first of many to come, or at least until he can't take it anymore! ;)

I also thank him for making me feel welcome on this site and allowing me to express my humble opinions. Also every other contributor here, but especially my favorites ( Becky, M, T, Heather, Butch & Michelangelo) for letting me know I wasn't the only mark out there. It's like a haven, a makeshift family, if you will. Oh my*sniff* I'm getting farklempt again. It's just a giant love-in! *Wiping eyes* OK enough of this soppiness, let's talk wrestling!

I got a most heinous letter from what must have been an Xpuke fan (wow, it only took her 50 columns to notice I wasn't a fan!) Let me just say for the record I've met Sean Waltman and he was pleasant for all of the 7 seconds I had with him. But I really can't stand X-Pac, OK?! It probably goes back to the dirt he's done to Kane, whom I love. And judging from the 'Xpac Sucks' chants,(not to mention several columns here) I am far from alone. So get over it! I'm not telling YOU to hate him!

I love Rocky, am I going to even waste my time blasting CRZ or Pitbull 3 for their comments? No-it's a free country-like who you want! DON'T like who you want! In the end-to quote the Great One 'IT DOESN'T MATTER!' It's like CRZ said in my last column, Rock's not losing any sleep over his comments. I'm sure Xpac isn't either. Hello? Reality check! It's a tv show, people.

It's the civilized equivalent of gladiators. Wow, did you see 'Gladiator'? Wow, Russell Crowe-nuff said! I also saw 'Scary Movie' and 'Me, Myself & Irene'-both raunchy but very funny movies. Oh wait-I was going to talk wrestling. Excuse me! You know as much as I love the Rock, he should get a day off every now and then just to remind the crowd that there ARE other people on the roster. I also wouldn't miss DX so it was cool that last Smackdown didn't have them but then, RAW more than made up for that day off, didn't it?

I thought Steph & Jericho were very amusing with the faux flirting and admit, I was suckered into believing this was the end of DX. Much to my chagrin, it was just a ruse to have Jericho play face-in peril. Think next time the cameraman could stay away from him long enough let him pop that blood capsule? That took all the drama out of the situation when that happened-not that I'm a bloodthirsty girl, mind you, but it's hard to suspend belief when you can see the wires, folks!

Again I have to hand it to Trish, the girl can bump! Of course, if they're trying to present her as being serious competition for Lita, she's going to have to get some flat shoes and clothes that she can stay in! Before she went out, I thought those puppies were going to bust out (no pun intended) on their own. The funny thing was her guys' reaction, they just knew she was going to get it! And Lita certainly brought it to her! It is so great that Lita is so over, it must really pump her up when the crowd chants her name! Not 'puppies', not 'table'-just 'Lita'!

I really liked the Heat matches she & the Hardys have had these two past shows. My only complaint is the crowd is so into HER, the Hardys get ignored! That's the same thing that happened with them and Terri! The camera paid more attention to her than to what they were doing! Of course, they've cut promos these last 3 times on TV so I'm glad it looks that they're getting more mic time. (Although Jeff should really let Matt do the talking) He looked hot as hell, being stoic on Heat while Matt was almost shouting I just got a Best of Hardys tape from RFVideo-I'll definitely have to do a review of that in the future. Also got a Best of Owen Hart, bless him.

I've been really enjoying this Benoit heel stuff but why are they teasing a gay twist to Shane with him? Shane insisting that they're 'just friends'? When Big Show comes back, will it turn into a triangle? Leading to a Big Show/Benoit 'winner gets Shane' match? Can you imagine how short Benoit looks next to Big Show? What a picture. Anyway, I've heard the rumors of a heel stable led by Shane. Does that mean DX is all but dead? That's a debatable question right now. Are they really DX without Chyna? Or Billy? Or hell, HBK?

The team of D'Lo & Chazz is very interesting-they're selling them as 2 Jersey boys. Excuse me, but I thought D'Lo was from Chicago? The truest part of this team is that they were 2 guys who felt like they were being held back. I'm a big D'Lo fan so I'm definitely feeling him on that. And I've always liked Chazz too. Their teamwork has been pretty solid, I hope this leads to good things for them.

Well that's it for me right now. I'm taking my ball and going home.

Until next time,
