So does anyone know who's booking in OVW? Heyman seems to be devoting his time to ECW now, so who's got the book in Louisville? Speaking of OVW, Jim Cornette's the smartest man in wrestling. By maintaining his ownership stake in OVW he's getting paid by both WWE (which covers OVW's expenses) and TNA at the same time.

Does it bother anyone else that Meltz reported about this woman's assault as if it was a spot in a wrestling match? She didn't "take a bump" she got knocked on concrete by some drunken jackass.

The fans closest to the ring probably got picked up due to the cameramen, ring mics, and Tazz and Joey's headsets. The usual crowd mics you'd see on a typical TV wrestling show were muted/turned off.

The ECW crowds are heavily muted since Universal is afraid they'll start chanting cusswords. I would imagine from the crap being thrown in the ring that the live crowd wasn't quite as apathetic.

Holy crap, the wellness program doesn't seem to apply to ECW, as Test looks ridiculously jacked to the gills. He even got the crowd to chant "you use steroids" at him during his match with Al Snow (nice to see they got Al off OVW TV duty to job).

What I find odd is the last time two WWF/E guys were caught doing a Cheech and Chong impression it led to pretty much the end of the Iron Shiek's career but the start of Jim Duggan's long mid card run.

That kid is everything wrestling should strive to be. More of that and less of the boss's son-in-law getting mustard-aided simulated blowjobs please.

Even better is when Candice stepped back to let the DX chick come out from under the table you could see she was wearing tight jeans with her belt buckle still fastened, meaning the DX chick must have made her cum with Jedi mind tricks. Bonus points if you notice that Candice's belt was hanging open when she and HHH went to the truck to find HBK in the following segment. Ah WWE, bless their little hearts, they always find a way to bungle the details.

Which is ironic since Vince's coke habit is an open secret in the WWE inner circle.

Am I the only one who heard Biz Markie saying "OH SNAP~!" while reading that? I wonder if RVD would have any leverage since pot use has been a part of his gimmick since ECW and was still part of it in WWE in an albeit wink-wink way.

I think it was partly Dustin trying to sound like his dad and the fact that I noticed Dusty tends to tone down his accent when talking with/about his son.

This would also mark pretty much the only time I can think of that a woman who was over left WWE on good terms without being erased from history as a result.

I've heard rumblings that going on hiatus, like what Benoit and Angle are doing, is WWE's way of dealing with top name guys who maybe didn't get straight A's on the drug test. Angle in particular has said many times he's on scores of painkillers just to function. Odds are one had to have shown up on a test somewhere.

Heyman could go to TNA or ROH (where he'd be over despite what the ROH fans might say). Vince might be the best paying game in town, but he's not the only one.

I think that was their wink-wink way of saying the whole thing was a rib in the first place.

I'm still puzzled to why his WWF theme was edited off the Wrestlemania box set, yet not only is it intact on his own DVD they even had a bit with wrestlers singing the song. I guess someone has to be "that guy". The documentaries are usually not the selling point of a WWE DVD. I can't think of one with the possible exception of the Bret DVD that I was looking forward to anything but the matches and extras.

Certainly sad news, but hopefully he'll be able to make not only a recovery but a return to the ring. Jim Duggan showed that it's not impossible to do, and I believe his tumor was said to be the size of a football.

Makes you wonder what will last longer, ECW or Kurt Angle?

I'd be willing to bet that the offical line will be that feuding with Vince is what led to DX reforming.

from the Wikipedia article on the NWA World Heavyweight Championship: This probably won't mean much to the smarky-smark-smarks like us, but for PWI to restore world title status is a boost in the eyes of the non internet savvy fans. We may poo-poo it, but PWI is still front and center on every magazine stand I come across to this day. Not bad for a company that everyone's been expecting to go out of business for the last 4 years.

I'd assume that part of that would be because HBK is too filled with JEEBUS POWER now to crack a lot of the "edgy" jokes DX was known for, leaving HHH to have to carry the promos. I have to say I'm enjoying the DX stuff if for no other reason it makes HHH not boring anymore. His "heel who outsmarts everyone and never loses and is serious all the time" schtick was getting beyond played out. Yeah, the DX stuff is recycled but at least we haven't seen that in 10 years. A few months of man-ass will break the monotony of him waving his sledge-penis around.

Well HHH's Vince impression was better than Nash's when he was "The Promoter" in WCW. I wonder if something else went short or did they really script that segment to go that long? It seemed that DX ran through their material halfway through and were doing their version of Ashlee Simpson's SNL jig to fill time.

That's all true, but Vince Loves Sabu, which usually means that person gets protected until Vince moves on to his next plaything. I'd also argue that Sabu got quite the pop attacking Cena last week, so even if they don't know about him they like it when he puts Cena through a table.

I still don't get why WWE would put themselves in a position where either the guy they want to be the future (Cena) or the guy Vince is high on (Sabu) was in a position to job. There's no reason a match between them should have been on a nothing inbetween show and not a Big Four PPV.

The only thing great about subpar WWE PPVs is how Big Dave will just totally go off at random points in his recaps:
