Glad to see that the Vengeance PPV brand is back! He may have killed himself and his family, but Chris Benoit will not (will not I say!) tarnish the good name of WWE Vengeance forever!
Since we last left you, Triple H’s Raw duties have now become the duties of John Laurinaitis thanks to Mr. McMahon. Also, the Miz and R-Truth have been rehired and scheduled to face the team of Triple H and CM Punk, while the Big Show returns to Smackdown (pimping an AWFUL looking new t-shirt) with a fiery vengeance (!!) that will be laid upon Mark Henry.
Your hosts are Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Booker T. Read the rest of this entry

Ric Flair can handle big men! He pinned that one big guy who now works for the WWF named Vader back in 1993! I seem to remember that another big man came along and beat him for the WCW world title a year earlier. Who was that guy again?

JJ Dillon is here! Why would you care about someone who hasn’t been seen on WCW TV in close to ten years? I don’t know – just watch and find out why he’s here. Okay? Geez.

Just to remind you of a little ECW history, this is the night after ECW’s first PPV. For whatever reason or measures WCW took, there are barely any ECW signs at all, ECW t-shirts, only one minor ECW chant, and no bWo shirts of any kind that I saw. Its very interesting and makes you wonder why considering the ECW faithful would normally show up in droves any time the WWF got near Philly back in those days. Except for Hat Guy, maybe they were all too hung over for another night of wrestling.
Let Us Take You Back To Last Week: The nWo settled their differences and DDP calls out Randy Savage only for Hollywood Hogan to try and handle the guy. Then Sting appears and stands between them pointing a baseball bat.
HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko. Read the rest of this entry

I did a recap for this show back in 2005, but MAN oh man was it bad. Very smarky. Very elitist. Very unlikeable. Hopefully in six years my writing has improved.
