Anyone see that bit on Unlimited with Howard Finkel? That was some good stuff.

Great, they're putting the Diva Search on both shows now.

Orton is coming out on Unlimited right now.

Foleys promo was incredible.

Flair vs Show? That's easy points for anyone with Show on their Fantasy team.

Candice & Kelly? Maybe Candice can give Kelly some desperately needed stripper lessons.

Orton/Hogan is gonna suck.

Val Venis? Yeah, that's a competitive match.

DX sucks.

Miz sucks.

Viscera sucks.

Orton sucks.

Where the fuck is Umaga tonight?

The Highlanders suck.

Vince & Stephanie Mcmahon suck.

Eugene sucks.

Duggan sucks.

Rob Conway sucks.

LAWL! The Smackdown rebound is on Unlimited now! Smackdown doesn't even get a recap on TV anymore!

I voted for Milena.

I guess Sabu isn't in trouble.

Gee, didn't see that coming. Cena made it to Edges hotel room. Shock.

What's with the disembodied voice on the bumpers? Why not just have JR and King do it like always?

**Othello Harrington** · 10 Jul 2006, 11:55 PM

I'm pretty damn tired of Orton, please go to TNA now.

**Jeremy** · 10 Jul 2006, 11:56 PM

That won't be happening. Evar. Our main event is Eugene vs. the McMahons... ugh. Double ugh - the diva search will be soiling SD.

**Othello Harrington** · 11 Jul 2006, 12:03 AM

As far as I'm concerned, Eugene can go away too, I'm done with the gimmick.

In addition I fully believe that a vintage 1980's Ric Flair could not carry Orton to a **** match, he makes old school Sting look good.

**Jeremy** · 11 Jul 2006, 12:11 AM

Flair isn't about carrying guys to **** star matches anymore, but he did have a great match with Orton at the first Taboo Tuesday.

**Othello Harrington** · 11 Jul 2006, 12:30 AM

I really feel bad for the peeps who didn't see Flair in his prime.

Actually, they did briefly mention it. Right as the match was starting they said "Big Show could become the first man in history to hold the WWE, WCW, AND ECW title." but that was it.

Way I see it, it does count too. Sure, it is more of a gimmick now, but all of wrestling is a gimick. The title is whoever runs the company, and right now, in a way, Vince is who will run those companies, even if they aren't full time. We may not like having Big Show win the ECW title, but ECW is back whether we like it or not, and therefore it counts. We didn't like David Arquette winning, but that's who was picked by whoever wasrunning the company at the time. I know it's not exactly the same, but jut think of it as whoever buys out a company is who runs it and who makes the decisions... it just so happens to be vince right now.

Did David Arquette impress WCW management?

That's now how it works at all. In the summer time people have more time off, go on vacations more, go outside more, etc. This is WHY there is less newer material. So ratings for anything won't be as high during this time period.

I did a spit take when it said that and watched it like 3x to make sure i heard it right.

I thought it was him... when he first came out I was like "he looks familiar" but couldn't quite place him. As for the boobs, they had the camera cut to black or quickly to a shot of the crowd or something because we ended up seeing too much. Now, I'm not saying full on shot, but it was from the side and you definitely caught a glimpse, and more than the usual "OMG, if you freeze frame on this particular point,y ou can totally, kind of sort of see it!" I noticed it with just a normal viewing while it was live.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about the Baldies... I'm more used to seeing him in ROH.
