Oops, got a little carried away there. Anyway, great site all, you guys have to be the hardest working underpayed people on the net. Anyway, on to my little rant.
First a question so you have something to think about when reading my long rants at the end.
1. Was there ever another Undertaker? A friend of mine swears that if you look closely there are different tatos and that the current Undertaker is a little shorter than the original. i think she is full of monkey crap, but i wanted to ask the experts.
Now on to the non-thought provoking stuff.
1. First of all to Kayfabe. Don't underestimate the impact that the people's elbow can have. He throws allhis weight into a very small area (his elbow) and hits them right on the solar plexis, which can hurt like all hell. (yeah yeah yeah, it's all fake I know.)
2. Rock's birthday s May 2nd, or at least that's what he said on This is Your Life.
3. Here's a small bit of angle speculation: I don't really see TBS vs Bossman as a headliner at Armageddon. I don't think anyone at the WWF is foolish enough to expect that to produce a heavy buyrate. I would look for The Rock to be in it, since his MILLION, and MILLIONS of fans are getting pretty darn impatient. Regardless of his opponent, I think we al see TBS in the main event, so i propose this: We al remember that, in one of his last TV appearences before his iatus, the Undertaker wispering something to TBS and then leaving. This reeks of future angles, and is a great way to reintroduce the Undertaker to the WWF. I envision TBS at Armageddon pinning his opponent, but at the count of two the lights going out and Undertaker making his grand entrance. This enables TBS's opponent to regain the advantage and pin him. Were it to be the Rock, it would set up a 'Taker/TBS feud nicely wihtout the title to muck things up.
4. Now, this is just a little tidbit I picked up. I was watching Jerry Springer a couple weks ago, and a woman brought her boyfriend on to tell him she had another lover (*GASP*, infidelity on Jerry Springer??? How utterly unpredictable) Anyway, when he brought out her lover, it was THE IRON SHEIK!!!!!!! I am not joking, the real honest to God Iron Sheik was this woman's secret lover. I gotta wonder if it wasn't real, casue there was no hype to it at all, a complete surprise to all Jerry's loyal viewers. Thought all the WWF fans out there would like that.


1) She is full of monkey crap and don't hesitate to tell her so. You were right to be skeptical.


1) I know, but I just don't buy it. It's a good elbow drop... but it's an elbow drop. I just don't like it but millions and millions do so he must be doing something right.
2) That's what I hear.
3) Who says the WWF Championship Match has to be the last match? Hell, I think Vince vs. HHH will be the "main event", but I don't see anything wrong with having the Bossman challenge the Big Show for the title on PPV. Remember, that still leaves the Rock. You know he'll be in a match. (Note: This was written before most of the PPV card was released.) So regardless of the actual main event there will be three big main event caliber matches on the card. The whole Undertaker thing is still up on the air and obviously a lot of it is riding on how quickly he is able to recuperate from his injuries.
4) HA! Now that's a hell of a story. But as far as the "real" factor goes I would tend to think that the story was fabricated. Everyone knows that the Jerry Springer Show is more pre-determined than pro-wrestling, the lottery, and boxing combined.


From:Jabroni661
Hey.. just wanted to say please answer these questions... my questions have never gotten in!
1a. Where Mankind and The Undertaker once a tag team?
b. How did they become a tag team?
c. Who did they break up?
2. What did DX do during the rampage of WCW (when they went in the bulding and did stuff). Did the WCW do anything about it?
3. What are some possibilities for the Wrestlemania 2001 title match? Ive head it would be Matt vs. Jeff Hardy


1) No, they never wrestled full time as a tag team. Mankind did win the Tag Titles with Kane though.
2) They mainly stayed outside the arena and just made fun of WCW in general; it's not like they went inside and started interfering in matches or anything.
3) It's too early to speculate Wrestlemania XVI let alone, XVII. I might as well try to predict Wrestlemania XXIX. While the Hardys have a tremendous amount of talent I seriously doubt they'd be fighting over the WWF Title only a year and a half from now. But, who knows? That's what they said about Bret and Owen in early 1993. Anything can happen.


From:Buff Daddy
Hey guys! I love the site. It rules!
But on with the question. I think I remember Kurt Angle getting in a small feud with Tiger Ali-Singh earlier this year. Was it him, or am I going crazy???


Nope, you're still certifiably sane. On Heat, Angle came out of the stands and basically defended America. If I remember correctly he cleared house, but nothing was ever made of the angle.


From:MR. COLD5
Hey, great site
1) who the hell are the " BIG 2"
2) who is "TBS"


1) That would be the WWF and WCW.
2) T
he Big Show.


From:jcooper15
what up raj? i heard a rumor that HBK will enter the royal rumble 2000 as a mystery e ntrant. he will win,becoming the only man to win 3 rumbles. he will joi n dx as the leader and get a title shot at WM16 HE AND HHH will feud ove r the belt within dx, and at april IYH they will go at it with the title on the line. hbk will throw the match and hug hhh. they will keep havin g matches with the champ throwing each one. this is so shawn can be the first 6 time champ, beating bret harts record ok now heres my quessie dont you think the wwf was better in 1996/97? people usually held on to a belt for more more than 5 mins, UT had a coo l gimmic, mankind spent a lot of time outside of peoples asses, austins ring and mic skills were 10 times better, the IC belt actually meant som ething as did survivor series.


The Michaels thing is just that; a rumor. I know people hate to hear it, but he's not coming back. I found the WWF more enjoyable in say, the early 90's than I do now, but I don't know about '96 and '97. I didn't like those years as much as I did the ones that preceeded them. The points you make can also be said for the early 90's.


From:Victor
best damn wwf site there ever was!! now, is it true that the guy who plays kane also played zues and then had a pigment-change operation akin to that of micheal jackson, but the wwf brought in "tiny" lister to covor up the operation? i heard that they did the same thing for dustin rhodes when he had the sex-change to chyna and the current dustin in the wcw is actually played by uncel fester from the adams family (the tv show not the movie)..and that dusty actually legally adopted fester to keep up appearances. also wasn't the ultimate warrior in the wm 6 main event added on by the wwf thru advances blue-screen techniques with the aid of george lucas' ILM studios? if so, doesn't this prove that hogan CAN actually act? finally aren't austin and jericho played by the same guy (i heard he wears a skin cap)...i mean, i dont know about you, but I'VE never seen them in the same place at the same time. hmmmmm...


I dare anyone to top that question.


From:HellFox5
Ok this has gone on long enough. I was watching WCW and Dr Death came out with a imitation J.R. I am pissed. This jabroni came out acting like he had J.R.'s disorder in the face and had a bottle of ketcup in his hand pretending it was Jim Ross' BBq sauce. I know this is all about the ratings but cmon what the hell is that needed for? The day that an organization will stoop soo low as to make fun of a man with a disorder in the face is a sad sad day indeed


I'm with ya. I just don't see the point. Yes, Russo and Ferrera are "cutting edge" and "controversial", but there's a fine line between that and just plain ruthless, childish behavior. There is no excuse for what they did. How many viewers did WCW gain just by doing that? 0. So in my view it was pointless.


From:Diggerie
Hey Guys,
I just want to know the answer to the question that is definitely on all WWF fans minds, WHERE IS THE MOUNTIE?!? LOL, I kill me... Here are some real questions.
1. Who do you think received the biggest push upon entering the WWF for the first time?
2. Is It just me or does it seem the WWF gave the Big Show the WWF title just to buy some time, and think things over (angle wise).
3. Why is the Big Bossman the #1 Contender for the World Title? Does the WWF actually think he's over enough to contend for the World Title? Are They happy with him? Is he sleeping with someone on the inside? WHY? WHY? WHY?
4. The British Bulldog was brought to the WWF to contend for the World Title, why is he stuck with the European Title (I'm sure he's just thrilled about that.) And why would they give the World Title to The Big Show over a long time WWF Veteran like the Bulldog?
5. The Godfather Sucks...
6. What do you think Taz's role will be when he enters the WWF? Do you think he will thrown into a major Angle?

Well, that's about it, Good Luck with the site your doing a Kick ass job. TIP- Always Wear clean Underwear.


1) Jacques Rougeau gets no respect. Biggest push? Wow, that's a toughie. A lot of guys have gotten good pushes from their start in the WWF. Mankind, Ric Flair, Kerry Von Erich, the Undertaker, and Yokozuna all come to mind. Take your pick.
2) Regardless, I think it's great.
3) Because the Bossman is a great veteran wrestler, is very over, and fits into the picture well. He deserves every bit of this push.
4) I agree, but you seem to contradict yourself a bit here. You think that the Bulldog should be contending for the WWF Title because of his experience and skill and yet you are stumped by the Bossman's push, when he fits the same description.
5) Yeah, but he's not a bad power wrestler at all.
6) I have no opinion yet. But I do think he'll have to pay his dues like everyone else.


From:TM
Greetings...
1. Are Stephanie and Test really engaged?
2. Will D-X ever reunite?
3. Can you explain in EVERY detail the Brett Hart screwjob?

Ok, those were a joke. here are my REAL questions, if you are still reading this..heh heh
1. Glenn Jacobs, also known as Kane has two different colored eyes. One of them looks like a glass eye. Does he really have a glass eye, or is that a contact lens to change the color of his eye to help sell his gimmick of being burned and injured as a child?
2. Who would win a Survivor Series style match, with Rajah, Grampa, Kayfabe, and Debra on one team and Andre the Giant, The Big Show, Undertaker, and the Giant Gonzales on the other team?
Oh and please put this in the mailbag. Do you get tired of people adding that on? I mean, duh. I would think its obvious they want their message in the mailbag, that is why they are sending it. Do people really have to point that out to you guys? Sheesh...
Thanks!


A lot of comedians this edition.
1) No his eyes are fine.
2) After single handedly elimanating Andre, The Big Show, and Gonzalez, I would pin the old man and the slacker just for the hell of it. Then I'd save the ex-Mrs. McMichael from the Undertaker, pin him, and leave hand in hand with the Debra.


From:RockAx
Yo Raj, how they hanging?
I got a question for you: how come the wwf never announced who pulled up the briefcase when stone cold was going for it in the ladder match that pitted stone cold against the macmahons? What do you think about Test turning heel possibly?
let me in the mailbox, ya hear


Short and a little bit to the left. Why is it that I seem to be the only one that put two and two together and realized it was the Big Boss Man? Test turning heel is a strong possibility.


From:GR81
Hey nice site. Keep up the good work. Now onto my question.
And can you tell me your top 5 WWF Pay per views of this year. Here are mine:
1. Wrestlemania 15
2. King of the Ring
3. Fully Loaded
4. Royal Rumble
5. No Mercy


Again, these things are hard to judge, but quickly I would say.
1) Wrestlemania
2) King Of The Ring
3) Summerslam
4) Survivor Series
5) No Mercy


From:Hobson
I know pretty much all of the terms of wrestling except for 1. What does the term "stiff" mean?


Stiff is when a wrestler gets a little too real, and tends to hit their opponent harder than usual. A lot of wrestlers don't want to work with Randy Savage anymore because they feel he is too stiff.


From:TuFine69
what up Rajah This is more of a comment then a question, but this has been pissing me off for sometime. Is it just me or do some of these stupid ass wrestling "fans" piss you off with their so called "knowledge" of wrestling. I hate it when people say that a wrestler is amazing because he is a "3-time champion". Big fat hairy deal, hell My 5 foot 3 Indian ass could go out there and be a 25 time champion if Vince McMahon wanted me too. The reason why people like SCSA and The Rock are multiple time champions are because of how unbelieveably over they are. I mean neither of these guys are the best wrestl ers in the world (The Rock is one of my favorite mic-workers right now), they just can get MARKS to buy billions of dollars worth of merchandise every day. And multiple time champions arent always the best champions. I mean hell someone could get the title on Raw, drop it on Smackdown, Gain it back on Heat, Lose it the next night in the first match, and then gain it back in the main event and suddenly he's a 3-time champion. GOOD GOD!!!! CALL VINCE McMAHON WE HAVE THE NEXT SHAWN MICHAELS FOLKS. Sorry about all this bitchin I just get real aggravated with some of these so called "fans" who just started watching wreestling and think they are as smart as you three guys. I'd appreciate it if you'd put this in your mailbag so some people would get a clue and stop being so damned ignorant.


I like that attitude.


From:Casey
Since i don't get raw, the first time i saw the sign guy who taunted during the bulldog godfather match on smackdown i immediately recognized him as David Koechner (sp?), he's a comedian who use to be on saturday night live for like one or two seasons, he wasn't that good which is why i guess he ain't on anymore, i just wanted to let you know,
keep up the good work.

He's not that good which is why he's not on anymore? Hell, SNL isn't that good anymore, but it's still on. Anyway, if you are correct, I find that quite interesting since he doesn't exactly seem to have been cast in a comedic role. Regardless, I like this angle. Should be interesting to see where it goes.


From:Russell
There was indeed a screenshot of the character select screen with EXCALIBUR in the superstars section.. either THQ's game makers are big internet fans and take rumors seriously or they just were testing their Create a Wrestler mode and decided to toy with our minds with this Excalibur rumor floating around the net

I guess they were just screwing around with us after all. Excalibur? I'll take Y2J any day, thank you.


From:BrettWWF.com
Big K-
I just thought I would throw out a few questions for ya...
1) Are Kane and The Undertaker really brothers?
2) Is Paul Bearer Kane's Dad?
3) I have heard that The Rock is going to WCW is that true?
4) I am a total WWF mark and I like to ask stupid ass questions,
AND IF YOU AIN'T DOWN W/ THAT I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YA! SUCK IT!
O.K. so I just had to throw that in for fun. Thought I would liven it up for ya...
Later

And this guy has his own website, people. Hard to believe. 39th on the top 1000 list. Mark or no mark, the man does a damn good job.


From:BigCountry41
Ok your site rocks, i visit at least 3 times a day. Here are some questions for you mailbag!!
1. I think WCW are idiots now, oh wow they bring in DOA to be JJ's bodyguards, whoopie-doo! Anymore jobbers they want to steal, how about LOD!!
2. That Angle vs. Stasiak match should not have been on PPV, Angle is a decent wrestler, but why put him with a jobber. Also who is that sign guy we have been seeing now in WWF.
3. Do you think that Raven will come to WWF ever again??
4. Raj, your missing a lot by not getting ECW, it is my #2 program to watch, hope they get it in canada soon.
5. I was reading a dark match, and i saw the name of Johnny Swinger, is he the same jobber from WCW with that name, and with the signing of Sick Boy(Scott Vick), what will be his role in the WWF.
6. I think Tori is so hot, but here is my list of best looking WWF women:
1) Terri
2) Miss Kitty
3) Tori
3) Miss Congeniality(Amy Dumas) when she makes her debut(she is fine)
4) Sad to say, but Chyna(she's not bad when she smiles)
What is your say on my list??
Thank you, WWF for life, who cares about the impostering Dubba-u C Dubba-u

1) Do you realize that you just called what many consider to be the best tag team of all time jobbers?
2) I beg to differ. Stasiak is not a jobber, and both he and Angle have a big future ahead of them in the WWF. I have no problem with the match being on Pay Per View. Why not? Not every PPV match in the history of wrestling has had build up. Sometimes it's fun to throw in a good old wrestling match.
3) Anything can happen, but he's in no position to come anytime soon if that's what you're getting at.
4) Actually we do get now since ECW is on TNN, but I always work a late shift on Fridays and miss it. I have told my excuse for a brother to tape it, but he's always either out, working or sleeping.
5) Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with WCW so I cannot answer your first question. The second one however, has an answer to it, but it's not very definitive. Scott Vick has indeed signed with the WWF. At the moment, he is undergoing a creative evaluation, whereby the bookers actually come up with a gimmick/character for him. Along with other newcomers, he should debut in the first quarter of 2000.

6) Terri, Kitty, then Tori. And if you were talking about Torrie Wilson before that, she's gotta be #1 on the list.


From:Genozide Dogg
First I just wanna say your site is better than WWF.com because it has everything and other shitty shits good stuff are in your site. A job well done Rajah. Lets proceed to the questions:
1) I read on your previous mailbag regarding the RAW Bowl and I just wanna know what are your thoughts about it.
2) Will there be an another RAW at the Rooftops? (remeber the RAw at the rooftops? it was one of the best RAWs ever.
3) Do you think these booking rocks? The ECW guys in the WWF got fed up for what the WWF doing with them so decided to form an alliance and called themselves ECW or whatever and they will battle WWF top guys (of course it is not an original idea but it will work).
4) Is it true the reason behind the "Austin was bumped by a car at Survivor Series" is that Austin refused to have a clean loss at Survivor Series?
5) WHo do you think the driver of that car.
Thanks for your time

1) To tell you the truth I don't remember the actual much of it, although several (dozen) of you have e-mailed me to tell me it was the Smoking Gunns who were victorious over Owen Hart & Yokozuna, Razor Ramon & Savio Vega, and Sid & The 1-2-3 Kid. The Kid and Razor weren't on the same team as the reader from last issue inadvertandly mislead me. The concept itself was great. Maybe they'll have another one the next time New Year's Day falls on a Monday.
2) Now I do remember that.
3) I don't think it's necessary right now. Of course in 1997 during the WWF's ECW angle, not only did they help out ECW, and was a desperate attempt to start winning the ratings war.
4) The true reason is he was and is in no condition to wrestle.
5) Could be anyone. I think it would be interesting if it were Test. Many say the Undertaker is behind it and I would be inclined to agree, but it's just not the Dead Man's style.


From:Jose
1)I would just like you to say that in WWF.com, in the Undertakers Bio it says that the Undertaker and Big Show are going to put Armagedon in the wwf. Since the Undertakers is rumored to be at WWF Armagedon this makes that rumor a lot more sure.
2)Also, WHAT WWF THEME SONG(S) DO YOU LIKE BEST?

1) OK. Hey, maybe they'll have a big part of the PPV Armageddon and maybe they won't. Time will tell. Back in the summer while The Big Show and the Undertaker were a tag team I can remember the word Armageddon being thrown around more than a few times. It could be that the WWF simply loves the term Armageddon so much that they decided to make it the name of a PPV. Could be a big coincidence.
2) Mankind's is one of the only really classic wrestling themes around today. It just sounds like a wrestling theme, ya know. I also like Jericho's, the Road Dogg's, and of course, Billy Gunn's.


From:David M.
Hi Rajah and company, great site.
Visit every day. This is just a quick message to correct you about a question in the last mailbag.
1) A guy asked who the 4th team on the raw bowl was after saying he could remember 123 kid/Razor Ramon, The smoking Gunns and Owen Hart and Yokozuna. The replier then said that the 4th team could be Shawn Michaels and Diesel. The teams were actually The Smoking Gunns, Owen Hart and Yokozuna, Psycho Sid and the 123 kid and Savio Vega and Razor Ramon.
2)Also Goldust's preasence was felt when Razor was given a present by the usher on his way down to the ring.
Thanks and bye for england

1) Yep, thanks for the clarification. I didn't think Michaels and Diesel were the other team but I was confused. I knew something didn't fit but that's because the Kid and Razor weren't on the same team. Glad that's over.
2) Man, I loved the Goldust/Razor angle. I always say this about the Goldust character; it was years ahead of its time.


From:Joe
Hey guys!
I have my usual few corrections that I feel I just have to get out...
1)Not that it matters, or not that I care, but the Rock's birthday is May 2nd, 1972 I believe
2)The shortest World Title reign was Andre the Giant back on February 2nd, 1988 on a broadcast of The Main Event. Andre then immediatley gave the title to Ted Dibiase, thus his title reign was somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 seconds. Also, Yokozuna comes to mind, as at Wrestlemania 9, he held the strap for about 2 and a half minutes before losing to Hulk Hogan
3) Grandpa pointed out that the first Royal Rumble winner was the late Big John Studd, when in fact, in January of 1988 on the USA network, the WWF held a 20-man Royal Rumble, with the winner being none other than the great "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan.......HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
4)He also stated that the first King of the Ring was Bret Hart, while this in fact could be accepted as true, it could be overidden, as in 1985 the WWF held a King of the Ring tourney, with Don Muraco coming out on top. Then in 1986, they held another, with Harley Race winning. He lost that to Haku in late-1988, and Haku dropped in to Jim Duggan in later 1989. By later on that year as well, Randy Savage started calling himself the Macho King, and, until 1993, he was the last King of the Ring...The actual King of the Ring PPV started on Jne 13th, 1993, with Bret Hart winning, so I can see why Grandpa had that as an answer.

Q's:
1)I still can't fi gure out why the WWF continues to push Chyna as a great WRESTLER....Sure, she is an unbelieveable female athelete....But a pedigree, a ddt, a punch, forearm shot, and low-blowing Mick Foley 37 times just doesn't fit correctly in my mind. Maybe I'm just one of those guys who likes people that can actually WRESTLE.
2)I still can't figure out why fans dont show any respect to the Hardyz. They are 2 very hardworking young SOBs and deserve a freakin title reign
3)Why is the WWF using a)Two establish singles stars as tag champs as of late (even back in 1998: Kane/Mankind...Taker/Austin....and in 1999: Big Show/Taker, Mankind/Rock/ Mankind/Snow Mankind/the peanut vendor's nephew.) I mean doesn't anyone remember the days when tag teams would fued just like singles champs would? or b)use a tag team that, while is still mildy entertaining, is getting old? (New Age Outlaws) There are so many teams out there that deserve the belt or at LEAST a good push towards them (ie, Hardyz, Edge/Christian, Too Cool, Dudelys, Acolytes) UGH
4)What the HELL is a government mule?????
5)PLEASE come back, Howard Finkel!
6)Is it true that the guy who played The Patriot is also the same guy who played the Blue Blazer on April 11th, 1999? Also, I heard that he was also Smash of Demolition, and now he plays Test.....
(Just Jokin with the above question, I'm actually makin fun of idiot marks with the stupid questions they send in!)
7)Vince McMahon: Master
Vince Russo: Hypocrite
Vincet: Virgil
Don't ask me why I did that!
8) I want to write a column for this site so freakin badly!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Later dudes

1) Right, May 2nd, not February 2nd. I knew it was something 2nd.
2) Believe me, he knows. He mentioned that several wrestlers had short one day or less reigns; he merely mentioned Mankind as an example.
3 and 4) Right, he was referring to the PPV events.


1) You are reading my mind. I feel the exact same way. For the life of me I cannot understand it. Especially considering that the IC Division isn't as weak anymore as it once was. Billy Gunn, X-Pac, The Big Bossman, D'Lo Brown, Test, Chris Jericho, and others would all make great Intercontinental Champions, yet the WWF is hell bent on pushing Chyna as one of the boys.
2) Believe me, I respect them. Great wrestlers like them should be appreciated.
3) Again I could not agree with you more. I have nothing else to add; you said it all.
4) No idea. Just a saying JR likes to use again and again I guess.
5) Yes!
6) Makes for good comedy.


From:hicox5
hey rajah! your site is total greatness!
Anyways, here are my questions--
1. whats up with debra recently?
2. were will jericho go from here, he needs a big push!
3. do you think edge and christian would ever join with the hardys, cause that would be great!!
4. will dx be getting new members anytime soon? cause they're so cool and i love mr. ass!
5. and last, who do you think ran over SCSA?
Thanks!!!

1) There's no angle for her to fit into. People used to talk about how Debra was the only reason for Jeff Jarrett's success. Being a Jarrett fan I used to hear that same old tired argument time and time again. Well now they're apart and look where Double J is and look where Debra is.
2) Can I make a guarantee right now? OK. Chris Jericho WILL bceome the new WWF Intercontinental Champion at Armageddon. Whereas many of the WWF's angles have become quite complex, his angle with Chyna is rather simplistic. From the moment they continued their program the night after Survivor Series I could have told you this. Had Chyna moved onto an angle with someone else it would have been a different story, but she didn't so it's not. Chyna has, by today's standards, had a nice run with the IC Title and has established herself well by beating Jericho. I guarantee she won't get the job done twice.
3) They're already friends, but as far as stables go I wouldn't count on it. Besides, if they were together that would mean they would never wrestle each other again. That's not a good thing; they put on some great matches.
4) Billy Gunn is a terrific wrestler. I don't see DX getting any more new members. They're perfect as they are and a new member wouldn't serve much of a purpose.
5) Wow, this is the $64,000 question.


From:IzzyDizzyIzzy
Hey Kayfabe Gran......
Your site is the be...... I visit man...... Blah Blah Blah
I just have on question that really isnt important but i am curious. At Raw this past Monday it was in cincinatti right. I am convinced that it was in cinci because the fans had signs that said " Finally The Rock...To Cincinatti". But in the locker rooms there was a mighty ducks logo. Everyone knows they are from anaheim, and cincinatti isnt anywhere near California; atleast i dont think so

The Ducks have a minor league affiliate in Cincinatti, hence the Ducks logo everywhere.


From: J
Hey folks,
It's J again. My head started hurting after watching RAW tonight. Doctor says it's because I sit too close to the TV, but the way I figure it, you can hear the sound better from behind the screen. Anyway, I have a few questions for you. Maybe you can stop the horrible, horrible pain.
1) If that lady at the wedding chapel knew who Triple H was, don't you think she would have laid the Vegas holy smack down on him when she saw who was in the car with him? Or was she in on it? DX is spreading, I tells you! My Chem teacher definitely failed me because X-Pac told him to! I'll show those bastards next week on Metal. Not that anyone will see me.
2) Who needs that Jason Sensation WWF Superstar impersonator? With skills like he showed in the car, HHH even had ME convinced he was Stephanie.
3) Is it just me, or did Barbara Bush actually say it was humiliating being stripped down on TV and then challenge Ivory to an Evening Gown match? "I can't stand cardboard! Pass the McNuggets!"
4) I really wanted Finkel to perform the ceremony. "The following match will be permanent, and a wedding." Who knows? It might catch on. "The following match is scheduled to be a wedding!" "Oh, my Lord, King, I don't think Mark Henry and Jericho signed on for this!" "Aaa!"
5) How come when HHH shows millions of people that he got a Vegas minister to perform a non-consensual marriage, it's legally binding, but my marriage to Sarah Michelle Gellar not only got annulled, but she stabbed me with a tent peg?
6) Should I see a doctor about the tent peg?
7) Does this look infected to you?
8) I don't know why, but I want to see The Big Show come down from the rafters a la Sting. I think a harness would be so cute. It could be pink.
9) I don't know why, but I want to see Miss Kitty come down from the rafters a la Sting. Oh, wait, I know why.
10) I just want to see one fan get in the way of the opening fireworks. JUST ONE!
11) I drove the car. Sorry, Steve. I just got my license, and it was pretty dark in there. My bad.
12) If Steph and HHH are married now, I'd like to see her nag him day and night to get his hair cut. She could shoo him out on the ramp with a broom and the caption could read "STEPHANIE McMAHON and the little man".
13) I dropped the brick. Sorry, Steve. It was heavy, I've got weak, girlish arms. My bad.
14) I love the look Test gave Stephanie when he saw the video. How could you not do that to me when you were unconscious, you skank?
15) I didn't see Moolah and consort in the background after the video. Someone slipped off during the ceremony...
16) You ask me, I think it's a little bit of nepotism to give your new son-in-law and all his friends a job in the family business. Vince should fire DX's asses. And their asses only.
17) Triple H is a big whiner. When a guy smashes into your limo, you don't call the police, you get your samurai sword and you go screaming out after him! Not that I've ever done that. Or been in a limo. Or a car of any kind. I'm 17 years old, and I'm not allowed out past five. I hear it gets dark. Oh, I hate my life.
18) I bet X-Pac smells like salami.
19) First Kurt Angle can't stop grappling, now he can't stop punching people. Sounds like my grandma at a wedding.
20) I started watching Nitro last week. Then the title song ended and the show went downhill from there. But it's twenty times better than it was a year ago! That makes for a grand total of... what's 20 times 0? 4? Okay. It's a four.
Peace.

P.S. No, seriously about the tent peg. You ask me, you don't want to get married unconscious, you shouldn't be on TV killing things. It only makes sense.

That e-mail is way too funny to reply to. I did, however, consault my friend, Raster, about your little tent peg dilema. He had this to say, "You know, I think his problem with the tent peg is not uncommon. A little bactine will help him right out."

Hey. Please put these in the mailbag cos these questions have being bugging me for ages.
1-Where was the British Bulldog born? The announcers say Manchester (so does the WWF site), but the 1992 WWF cards say Sheffield. I've heard he was from Warrington but he sounds like hes from Leeds. Please tell me.
2-I know wrestling is fake, but do the submission moves actually hurt the wrestlers? The way I see it is that you can't fake the holds.
3-I know its linked to the 'Screw Job' incident, but on Wrestling With Shadows, we did Bret's wife kick off on HHH and not HBK
4-Who does HHH's music? It's the best I've ever heard.
5-Has Chyna and HHH's alliance (sp) ended?Will Chyna join DX again?
6-In your eyes, whats the best RAW you've seen this year?
7-Will Curt Hennig ever return to WWF? Last one here-Who's better Mr.Perfect/Curt Hennig or Bret Hart


1) This one is strange; In the Bulldog's original WWF stint he was announced as being from Leeds, England, but now they say he's from Manchaster. Sounds like a conspiracy to me. The people I've talked to in regards to this question think he is from Leeds, so I would trust your instincts.
2) There is a right way and a wrong way to put on every hold. To paraphrase what Al Snow once said, "All of it is real to an extent; all of it hurts." But these guys are trained professionals and they know what they're doing. Only rarely will you see a serious in-ring related injury occur in the WWF.
3) Because Helmsley was the one that was there. I'll be honest; I don't remember the documentary all that vividly but what I recall from the scene you are referring to, Bret's wife is shown backstage yelling at Hunter, as the Degenerate stands there expressionless with his head down. As far as I know Shawn was nowhere to be found in that scene, so that would explain why he was spared of the tongue lashing. Besides, rumor has it that Shawn was talking to Bret himself following the match.
4) His music is done by the Chris Warren band.
5) I don't think so. I know I'd hate to see it. Just my personal opinion, but I think DX is better without Chyna. It would seem that Chyna would be left angleless right now without the Intercontinental Title, so as soon as she drops the belt, she'll be looking to fit in somewhere. That would be the best opportunity for a reunion with DX, but as it stands now I wouldn't bet on it.
6) Ya know, it's impossible to judge. I actually thought RAW is LOVE was exceptional, but best of the year? It's hard to rank something like that. Other RAW highlights for me include, the Rock/Austin burial scene, the Undertaker's formation of the Ministry, Jeff Jarrett capturing the IC Title, Triple H winning the WWF Title, Chris Jericho's debut, etc. It's been a memorable year in the WWF.
7) I'd love to see Perfect back, but right now he's still under contract in WCW. Who's better? That's subjective. Bret is my all time favorite, so I would go with him, but both are two of the best wrestlers I've ever seen. They're WWF matches at Summerslam '91, and King Of The Ring '93 were classics. If you ever rent King Of The Ring 93, you'll be treated to an excellent interview with both Bret and Perfect before their match. Classic stuff.

The site is great!
1- Do you think Gangrel will get a push now that he has a valet in Luna?
2- That guy that does the DX theme, isn't he the same guy that does HHH's theme?
3- I've heard that Rodney, Pete Gas, and Joey Abs are really Shane's childhood friends. Is this true?


1) According to Jim Ross, Gangrel is due for a push.
2) Yeah same group. They're called the Chris Warren Band.
3) Joey Abs, no. Rodney and Pete Gas, yes.
