I agree. And this show is doing a great job setting up the top matches for Mania.
Flair vs Undertaker Hogan vs Rock Austin vs some NWO member, probably Hall Jericho vs whatever comes of the title match
I liked the truck into the ambulance scene just now.
Where are those OFF-DUTY cops when you need them?!?! *tear*
"Nobody loves the custodian. I come and I sweep and vacuum for you. When you're in the mood to go to the bathroom, I even disinfect it for you! This is the thanks I get?!? All who defy me shall be dis-infected!"
Awwwwwwww my God! That was AWESOME! Anyone who said the nWo angle was dumb was dead wrong. Seeing the nWo destroy Rocky like that was worth more than I can say. Razors Edge, Jacknife, and a Leg Drop, then they destroy the ambulance he's in? Awesome.
Rock/Hogan at Wrestlemania? I can't wait!
The King: "Are you bilingual?" HHH: "I'm bi- a lot of things, but lingual's not one of them...Ummm, did I mean to say that?" JR: "Probably not, but we're live"
That was actually a pretty cool segment, if a little long. I agree that they are doing a nice build-up of some WM matches tonight. Maybe instead of buying trucks and ambulances to wreck, they could hire some real writers? Just a thought.

These guys can never be satisfied. They could have killed The Rock and these so-called fans still will bitch that they didn't put him in the electric chair.

The way the NWO ran off, I'm guessing Rock pulled a Houdini, and wasn't in the ambulance.
If he was, I'll throw out the first use of the word "tasteless".
I figure they're following one sacrifice with another. I did note that the Godfather's "escorts" didn't really want to be there. Godfather also got zero mic time, before Booker's music hit.
Hey, I'm all for anything that ends up with Godfather off my TV again. Let the squash commence.
No matter how bad things may get, just imagine what would happen if Vince Russo was booking again, and you will feel better.
I agree that was an AWESOME segment, I thought it would have been cooler to close RAW with that... I just wish SOMEONE from the WWF had responded to help Rocky... jesus where the hell was the APA? Still it was awesome. Theres no way in hell Im missing Wrestlemania, Im really curious to see if the ratings spiked at all for that....
I don't think I like how Ross and Lawler are selling Rock's injuries. Sure, I'm glad it's getting lots of attention, I mean the man DID (supposedly) get hit by a semi. But he's not DEAD, and nobody is going to believe he is.
What are you gonna do, when the NWO commit vehicular homicide on YOU!?! That's how you build some monster heel heat.
But how do you follow the murder of The Rock? With dancing ho's of course. And someone please tell Hogan that we heard the "Smackdown on his crippled ass" line the first 3 times he said it.
I hope that Rocky has HHH's amazing healing abilities when it comes to people trying to kill him with large vehicles.
See? They're talking about that fuel leak again. They're gonna blow that puppy up! Woo hoo! Then the Demon will come stalking out of the fire with KISS playing in the background and...oh fuck it...
Well HHH came back from the dead after 8 days (the car drop from the forklift). So how long will it take for the Rock to ceom back? Will we see him for a couple weeks? Or even until WM? I'm thinking maybe the week before WM, he comes back ready to go. I am definitely buying the PPV now.

I would catorgize with the lack of death threats heels receive which is due to the decline of kayfabe. Of course I don't remember it much in the WWF during early 90's late 80's.
