I wonder how many other people *KNEW* trouble (in the form of "stupid writing") was coming as soon as Kane said he's never felt as happy as he does now. I was hoping having a moment of happiness would lead to him losing his soul and becoming evil. Sure I've seen it before, but at least a cheap version of that is better than the 1994 angle we have now. Jesus, you'd think they learned their lesson, what with ruining the main event of Wrestlemania with outside garbage like this.
I wonder how this woman supposedly died. My guess is an overdose of novocain.

...leading to Kane vs Buffy at Wrestlemania, with Kane being thrown into Hell just as he regains his soul?
What can we expect next week? An interview with Kate's parents which ends with Bischoff sending two fat Samoans to squash the grieving family? Or is it THE STUNNING RETURN OF SICK BOY TO AVENGE HIS SISTER'S DEATH!!!!!
So, for the RSPW awards, it looks like I have HHH involved in two of the Worst Angles of The Year so far. Good for him.

Prophet, you have too much continuity for the WEEEEEEeeeeeeeee! Got a big laugh out of this, though. I wonder how many of the Casuals remember old Issac Yankem, DDS?

I still think the 'evil dentist' routine could've worked ... I mean, think about how cool the potential was for Doink the Clown when that character first debuted ... Before the midgets and all that shit, he was a heel who did cool heel things. Now, take that somewhat 'cool' evil Doink and cross the evil clown gimmick with the evil dentist gimmick.
It's contrived, I know, but the possibilities would be cool. Besides, it would've been a hell of a lot better than most of the other gimmicks they had going at the time.
Could HHH make himself look any more idiotic in the eyes of the fans? This is a poor build to a match that we all know the outcome.

Since it was 10 years ago, Isaac Yankem could not possibly have killed her. However, her death was actually caused by an exploding substance sent to her by Unibomber. This stupidity proves once and for all the idiot writing RAW must be a relative of Russo in some manner.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.
Like I said last night, Kane and HHH are going for the Raw Title, the biggest title on RAW. HHH and Kane have a history, HHH could do all kinds of heel attacks on Kane, you know stuff that heels do? When did heels become private investigators? Do they really need to throw in some stupid, 80s style crap about Kane a murderer? That is terrible. Why kill this show with some stupid ending like that? I was expecting HHH to have killed Paul Bearer or beat the crap out of Paul. That would have been better than some murder crap that they are going to have to make up something totally silly to follow through with. They are taking 2 steps forward and 1.5 steps back.
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
As HHH himself proved about a year plus back, by no-selling his death, YOU CAN'T DO DEATH ANGLES in wrestling. At this level, kayfabe was NEVER broken: Any five year old fan knows these guys aren't killing or being killed for the sake of their weekly TV show, whether he can articulate it or not.
I've never applied any standard of 'taste' to pro wrestling and the writing thereof-- it's not appropriate. If an angle works for the audience and fans, it works. But this angle, like all death angles (including ones based on real life deaths outside wrestling, such as Boss Man/Big Show) will fail because it is STUPID.

My guess is that Trips is trying to cover for Clique buddy Kevin Nash, as everyone knows that Deisel killed this girl.
"So this is the Pacific Northwest, huh? What a dump," said Angle, "Why do we have to come to Seattle? If it wasn't for Kurt Cobain and 'Frasier,' nobody outside this rain forest would even know who you people are."
I don't know whether to applaud you for taking the time to find that....or shake my head in disgust that you took the time to FIND that.
Maybe WILL is going to come after Kane (go to the PICS on the site...you know you want to!)

I was pretty irritated at the whole Kane murder thing last night. I'm still not thrilled about it, but I'll give it a chance. It just has the potential to be SO STUPID right off the bat. Are they that low on storyline ideas? I'm sure Vince sees it as "edgy" having a murder storyline, but it could really blow up in his face. I can actually hear him defending himself to the press: "There are shows like NYPD Blue and The Sopranos feature storylines centered around murders. WWE incorporates all types of entertainment, but is also truly unique. We're one part comedy, one part action-adventure, one part drama..." Well, you get the idea. He caught lightning in a bottle with Billy/Chuck mainstream press, so I'm sure he's hoping for similar exposure with this.
Sign #1,342 that I watch too much wrestling: I have a framed photo of WWE Headquarters in my living room. Chixdiggit.
This is my new favorite angle. HHH needs to present some proof next week, and since he had video tape for the HBK attack, he should just have photos this time, showing the MURDEROUS back of that MURDERER Kane commiting his terrible act of MURDER.
But then intrepid reporter Gregory Helms can - and people always do this in movies, so it must work - go to a library and look at old newspapers on microfilm (or possibly microfiche) and find a newspaper that covered the murder complete with the picture that HHH has, and he can get one of those photo computer things from Blade Runner and zoom into and around the photo and into a mirror in the background, when Helms suddenly says "Holy Higher Power!" and races off.
Of course, it will be revealed that Helms discovered that the reflection in the mirror shows that it was HHH, not Kane, who MURDERED Katie Fick ten years ago. And HHH will come out laughing and say "It's true, Kane! Ten years ago, Kane, I knew it would come to this, Kane, and I set it all in motion, Kane! I dressed up like I knew you someday would and framed you for the MURDER! Because I am THAT DAMN GOOD! NOW YOU KNOW-UH!" Then he'll smash the phone that the governor would be calling with the sledgehammer, Pedigree the state-appointed lesbian executioner standing by the switch for the electric chair (Bischoff will have set up the first live execution for Raw) and pull the switch himself. But Kane, who once shot Deadly Mystical Lightning from his fingertips on Raw several years ago (he set a guy on fire, then!) will only be recharged by the electric chair, and he'll chase HHH away. And at the blowoff match, he'll take a Pedigree and lose.
For the record, I've seen Kane referred to as a zombie in several places because of this new angle, but I don't think he ever died, so unlike his brother, Kane is not a magic zombie, just a guy who can control fire and lightning and eventually regenerate massive skin loss. Probably because of some firestarter experiment done on Paul Bearer and the dearly departed (and also MURDERED) Mrs. Taker, who the government tried to keep apart. And Hurricane couldn't be in the TLC match, because he could have just flown up and grabbed the belts.

This one had me getting laugh attacks, man!!!
The worst thing about this is the name of the girl.........KATIE FICK!!!
"Hey Hunter, any ideas how to call the girl Kane has murdered?" "Well Vince, I love to make it an obscene name, how about Joanie Fuck?" "Sounds good......but we shouldn't risk another case of some boneheads sueing us, so how about Katie?" "Yeah man, Katie Fuck, good one!" "Well, in the interest of fairness we should not say fuck on national tv, so why don't we translate it into another language to show how smart we are?" "Like what?" "Like german.......they are a bunch of Nazis anyway, so nobody will care! Her name will be Katie Fick!" "Great Vince, you are truly the genius here!"
If I am following my WWE Cannon correctly Kane was in a mental facility since the fire that took place in his childhood. His soon to be revealed father Paul Bearer broke him out in 1997. So unless the WWE wants to rebuke its own character history (like thats never happened before) Kane would have had to kill young Katie while he was in the looney bin.

This was the first SD! I have caught in a few months, and it was nice to have several matched in the 6-7 minute range, and they were pretty good matches for the most part. Except maybe Tatanka-Yang.
