IN THE ZONE

Hey all, Well I am one hot individual today. It was only 96 with a heat index of 240. Damn it was hot.....LOL!! I am going to write this column anyway because I just feel like it. Okay for all of you still interested in who my fave ref is. This week's hint is: The ref was not on Raw this week maybe he is on vacation who knows but none the less he wasn't there. So for all you old time wwf fans a bell should be going off for you.... Those who don't hear the bell....DING DING DING DING....LOL!!! If someone don't guess it soon I may just forget about giving anybody any respect..Just joking. Enough about that.

So my bestest buddy Brent is taping Great American Bash for me tonight....I wanna know if it was worth watching. I saw some recaps of it on Nitro and maybe I wouldn't have paid 30 dollars for it but hell if I get it for free its worth checking out...Right?

Speaking of Nitro, I guess the first hour was all right, I guess. So Goldberg turned heel, could prove good for his character, he was too comic book super hero for my taste anyway. Other then that little part Nitro left a lot to be desired last night. I did read that both Ric and Reid Flair both got their hair shaved. Which is really surprising I thought Ric loved his hair.

Without further ado:

HIT MY MUSIC:

Besides the fact that the Women's title is nothing but a piece of metal, Raw was great last night. Let's take a look at the whole opening segment. Well I guess we were treated to a special surprise, it has been awhile since the Rock started out the show. So we have the Rock in there making promises and calling out The Undertaker and Kane. Which I really wanna see these guys tear into each other but the timing just isn't right. So I get a savior in the form of Linda McMahon. So now we have the confirmation of the main event at King of the Ring. (Meaning its has been speculated on wrestling newsboards for weeks.) If that didn't piss off the faction what Linda had up her sleeve for the rest of the night would. We would be treating to a WWF'S Women's title match, which in my opinion was a great idea considering it has only been defended once in 72 + days.. More on that in a minute. HHH against an opponent of Linda's choosing, and Shane and Vince against the Dudley's in a table tag team match. Could this get any better, Well you be the judge. Let's get to the matches.

WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP: STEPHANIE v. LITA Okay I will be the first to admit that I was hoping against all Hope that Lita would win this thing and bring back the dignity that this title so deserves. Seriously is Stephanie a true champion, no she is the Owners daughter. I was so upset to see Angle interfere; there are several talented women on the WWF's roster. Lita, Jackie, Ivory and god help me Tori. Even if Tori had the damn belt it wouldn't be as bad. So this is what I want to happen. Have Shawn or Linda make up a match between Stephanie, Ivory, Lita, and Jackie, if anyone from the back interferes Stephanie is automatically revoked of her title. That would guarantee that the Belt would not be around ole steffie poohs waist.

Okay so know with Vince and Co. 1 up we have the Dudleys vs Dear old Dad and The Beav. You know leave it to Beaver, the old show, Shane just reminds me of him. Anyway to get to my point...LOL. Okay I have to hand to both Shane and Vince because they did an incredible job. But damn if I didn't want them to go through a table at the same time, maybe two nice power slams. But no I don't get what I want again. I see the faction interfere, like I didn't know that was going to happen, and actually put both Buh Buh and D-Von through a table. That is so not what I wanted to see folks. I kinda liked seeing the fuckup with the table though, I just wish I could have been the shoving Tori to make sure the table broke the second time.

With the faction 2 up, I was very happy to see that HHH mystery partner was know other then Jericho. We all know what happened the last time these two guys met, even though it never happened...Right? What makes me a little upset is that after the heel kick and the lionsault Jericho clearly had the three count, but no ref. He was too busy fighting with ole steffie pooh. Then the ref (Mike Chioda) proceeds to get in the way and knock out of the ring. So now that leave HHH in the Walls of Jericho, but oh no here comes the bride to make everything all right. I was just upset that I didn't get to see her suffer though the Walls Of Jericho. But no, again, HHH hit Jericho with the Title Belt then a pedigree and with the help of ole steffie pooh the ref is back in the ring to count the 123. OH MYGOD...........It was a great match and I give both these guys credit although I would die to see Jericho get another taste of the World Title...I guess I have to wait for that one.

Okay so as you see the Faction was 3 and 0 everything was going there way until GTV made is redebut and blew the whole "THE WORLD WILL SEE KANE'S FACE" deal. Much to my enjoyment I would hate to see what kind of picture they would show, we all know Kane is not really burned....At least I hope you do....LOL!!!

Some thoughts and I am outta here.

  • So know the Artist formally known as Prince (wcw) will now be known as "The Artist". The gimmick still sucks....The Artist formally known as the The artist formally known as prince still sucks and Hey so does the real Prince.

  • I read on Hulk Hogan's AOL Chat transcripts that he has no intention of ever retiring. Oh I guess that in 20 years I will watching a 70 year old has been instead of a 50 year old has been.

  • I really should have known the Xpac would go over Malenko, The old "Student over Teacher" routine.

  • I wonder who Vampiro was talking to backstage...seems I seen this somewhere before....Oh wait yeah I have about a year and 2 months ago on the WWF with the whole higher power thing.

  • How incredibly amazing was the Matt Hardy/ Chris Beniot match....I have to say that it may have been better the Jeff and Chris on Smackdown.

    With that outta the way...Sorry this was kinda long this week....LOL

    Until next time:

    Keep it Real
