If Malcom is comparable to Vince. Does that make Tony Wilson Paul Heyman?

The whole fake prom thing was INSANE for a supposedly civilised country not just for the lesbian couple but for special ed classmates.

Silva tried to heel turn to set up a program with GSP but it worked too well. Silva lost overness as a result. Im looking forward to Larry Matysik coming on F4Daily to explain how Sam Muchnick solved a similar problem in the 1970s with the Bruiser.

They always (exaggeration) do Cena-Taker on every three hour RAW dont they?

???? It was somewhat WCW-esque in how it featured old dues, top guys mailing it in (Silva), and BJ Penn losing to the MMA equivalent of Rocky Balboa. Teasing then cancelling GSP-Silva Total suckage to a disrespectful degree in front of the new owners in their home arena.

There is an interesting Paul Heyman interview on Sherdog starting just before the 2 hour mark: http://www.sherdog.com/radio/Marathon-Paul...ve-Meltzer-1435 I didnt know John McCain went after ECW confusing it with MMA for a spell in 1997. There is rambling Don Frye interview and a very good Dave Meltzer interview covering the usual ground he covers when taking about the links between MMA and Pro Wrestling.

Hart Family DVD
Decent watch, interesting footage here and there but nothing really new. Some of the background music was really loud and annoying in places.

That Shawn Michaels/Jeff Jarrett match from In Your House
Okay, I wasn't hallucinating, just misremembering the context of it. I guess this happened after the PPV went off the air. Vince sure let him get away with a lot since this was the second time he stripped too much. Between those incidents, the lack of punishment for them, the way that Vince fawned over Shawn on commentary/fed lines to other announcers to act similarly to the point where they sounded like they wanted to fuck him, and Vince's uncharacteristically emotional reaction to the "lost my smile" speech, the weird vibe that Bret Hart and others got from Vince and Shawn aren't too far out of left field. Which isn't to say that Shawn and Vince had wild, passionate gay sex with each other, but I can certainly see why someone around them would think something out of the ordinary was going on. Hawk seemed to be pretty convinced in his shoot interview way back when,

Bix did you ever read the paperback version of Ring of Hell? It was revised wasnt it in the end? Was there anything new in it?

Things we can probably get confirmed now
Piper did something stupid (IIRC in an interview) and got canned, and O'Haire was attached to him so he got depushed. The gimmick wasn't going anywhere though. Said interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsuKfI8wq-U
