Jake Roberts Kane got married. Roberts disrupted a wedding. Plus, Undertaker was once a lackey for Roberts. Kane was never that lucky. (Yeah, I don't feel like giving a serious reason!)

Tito Santana This may be because I'm actually getting sick of voting for Honky, but while HTM drew a chunkload of money in 87-88, I consider Tito a better worker, even when he was past his prime, and Tito also wins on longevity. Santana had good tag team title success during this era too.

Ted DiBiase Was with the company for 9 years and always had at least a solid role. One of the few guys to stay over as a heel for that long. Show's had a far less stable role. DiBiase's a better worker too.

Rey Misterio Jr. Pretty close as far as match comparisons go, but I'll give the nod to Rey for having greater upper card success.

Owen Hart Owen was the better worker, far more reliable, and was around longer.

Chris Jericho Unlike Hennig, Jericho's never had any injury problems, and has had a longer taste of the main event than Hennig did. Jericho also got to headline a WrestleMania that drew pretty well.

They also mentioned James Dudley's passing last year.

Jim Cornette Suspended by WWE
A lot of what I have was actually covered on the Wrestling's Future Stars DVD released by the Wrestling Gold people. It covered OVW from mid-2000 to early 2001, from the introduction of Leviathan (Batista) to the introduction of Machine (Doug Basham). At least one review for this exists, but it was done by SK. This means we're not sure if a review exists or not now.

From the Torch: The Torch messed up, as we all know that Steph replaced him in late 2000. Sad news, especially due to the early death at the hands of cancer. One of the better writers the company had, as he was at least partly responsible for one of the best eras of the WWF.

Booker T & Goldust v Chris Jericho & Christian
While you guys are at it, try sellin' them on Eddy/JBL there too. Some writer at Rajah gave his "Top 50 WWE PPV matches of 2000-2004" and that match didn't even crack it. I'd love to see you guys break that match down nicely, resulting in dumbfounded reactions by them. In fact, I may join in for that.

Whatcha watchin'? -- May 2005
Correction: While watching the match now, I *know* I can't do it justice.

Whatcha watchin'? -- May 2005
I just downloaded Akira Hokuto vs. Shinobu Kandori from AJW DreamSlam (4/2/93). I may attempt a review, but given the match's reputation, I don't know if I can do it justice.

Fact or Fiction?
HTQ, I hate to repeat Some Guy's question, but is it true that Bret vetoed jobbing to HHH in the Euro title tourney much earlier that year so he could put over Owen himself? Thanks a bunch.

WO News and Notes
No wonder Trish Stratus went home early from the tour. It wasn't her back bothering her. It was the lack of an open bar. Girl can drink, you know.

The whole Flair-Christian saga's been fun. Take Flair away from HHH, give him a subtle face role, and he's fun again. Whoda thunk it?

I wish I could watch IND-DET, but I got no TV for it. Anyways, if the HHH exit they just did is not a swerve, I guess he's taking time off to get that neck checked out.
