My bold prediction that Matt Hardy would be traded, just so they could bury him AS MUCH in one calender week as possible, did not come true. There's still Byte THIS, though...
(but the burial of Orlando Jordan IS coming along nicely. That's how ya do it!)

Agreed, same ol' crap. Ohhh, Teddy announces a Batista vs JBL, what a fuckin treat that is. Shamel is starting to be like Stephanie Mcmahon annoying. I cant stand her at all. Booker needs to keep that filthy animal locked up. Im curious about Ken Kennedy though.
If the Benoit Coffee Challenge were to replace the Angle Gold Medal Challenge, that would not be a bad thing. At all. If The Legion of Doom can beat up no-names every week, why not the Crippler? That is until a worthy feud comes down the pike.

God bless the men of 2nd Bn, 127th Inf, 32d "Red Arrow" Brigade, WI Army Nat'l Guard...good luck, and come home soon.
* Splitscreens = ratings. Chug, Benoit, chug! :-)
* What!? Bad enough Torrie and Candace came to RAW as heels...but now no Christy on Monday nights!? Bleh.
* And Funaki jobs to my boy yet again. Go Kenny!
* Oughta be interesting to see the crowd's reaction to playing Cena's video again. If they keep booing, this could prove to be a problem for his face champ push.
