The Tombstone


You know, I didn’t have any real inspiration for a column, so I’ll "borrow" an idea from Jim Ross’ RAW Magazine column and just throw out some random observations and stuff.

Is it just me, or could the WWF have a big battle royal over everyone’s beverage of choice? I mean, we’ve got Kurt Angle with his milk, Edge and Christian with Soda, and the APA (and used to Stone Cold) with their beer. When is someone going to step up to the plate and represent water? I mean come on! We could have a wrestler called the Waterboy! Yeah! Um, nevermind.

WHY are Billy Gunn and the Big Show teamed up? No, better question, WHY are either of them getting TV time on RIW and Smackdown?!

Why does Kane always get screwed? I mean really, he had one good run at the top in 1998. That lasted maybe six months or so, and ever since then he’s been a Tag Team guy for the most part. Kane had a hell of a match with Triple H back in May. He made a great Intercontinental Champion, so when is the Big Red Machine going to get to step up and contend with guys like the Rock and Austin?

Why is Mark Henry in OVW and the Big Show is in the WWF?

How many times are they going to tease a Tazz face turn and/or big push before it actually happens? Or will it ever happen?

I’m sick and f**king tired of people who think they’re bookers for the WWF. Yes, I give my share of opinions and criticisms, but go take a look at a WWF message board sometime. EVERYONE thinks they can book better than the WWF can. You know, they can’t please everyone all the time. I don’t know, just if it’s so terrible, turn it off and stop bitching.

Trish Stratus is so hot...

Is Stone Cold Steve Austin doing some sort of déjà vu angle? First the thing with the milk truck, then the stealing of the medals, then the car, then the bridge. It’s like he’s reliving a bunch of stuff that’s already happened. What?

Which reminds me, that "what" thing is really funny.

Is the Undertaker really a pain in the ass and a whiner backstage? After his match with Albert on Smackdown! last week I’d have to say yes. Maybe the Undertaker should take a lesson from Kane. Kane jobbed to Albert a few months ago to give Albert the Intercontinental Title and it didn’t hurt Kane one bit. If only the Undertaker could be the locker room role model that he’s supposed to be. He’s already a legend, it won’t hurt him to give back to the business.

Excess was okay, but Triple H dodged or danced around the real question, WWF or Alliance? And that vault match, why was all of Triple H’s offense edited out? It only showed the parts of the match where the Rock was in control, except for the ending. Weird.

Trish Stratus is really really hot...

I read a WWF.com article where Matt Hardy was bragging about being the second longest reigning European Champion ever. That’s great, seeing as he defended the belt like twice in that whole time.

Booker T is pretty entertaining, he’s definitely better than he was in WCW. I like the mean streak he’s been showing, I just hope the next time he fights the Big Show he knocks the lazy, fat, slow bastard back to OVW. NOW CAN YOU DIG THAT, SUCKA?!

Trish Stratus is still hot...

Some people take this stuff way too seriously. I mean really, take a deep breath, and realize that it’s entertainment. You’ve got to have "good guys" and you’ve got to have "bad guys" or it just doesn’t work.

Why would anyone pay for a membership to Wrestlingvixxxens.com? Three or four years ago I would have loved to see Tammy Sytch do a Playboy spread or something. I can’t believe she went from being offered so much money by Playboy while she was with the WWF to posing naked for a web site for 10 bucks a month. My how things change.

If you haven’t already, go take a look at WWFtitlehistory.com. It has a complete history of all the belts currently active in the WWF, it’s really a fun site to look at I think.

Trish Stratus is still really hot...

How far have the Dudley Boyz fallen lately? They were in the main event of Invasion in July, then in August they are in the opening match of Summerslam?! What the hell? Put Bubba on the mic and let him rip the crowd a new one, I guarantee they’ll be the most over heel tag team ever.

I really am a freak, I’d consider it an honor to get chokeslamed by Kane or given a Stunner by Austin, but um...I would never take Test’s boot to the face or Bradshaw’s Clothesline From Hell, I like being able to breathe.

Trish Stratus is STILL really really freakin’ hot...

I guess that does it for this time. So until next time...
