Hey guys!Rajah, love the site! And since you seem to
be so good at predictions what do see happening in
Jeff Hardy's future, provided he doesn't fall on his
head and damage himself? I know they are talking
about a split from Matt, how do you think it will go
from there? I think Jeff is a fantastic wrestler,
with a style different from most that is truly amazing
to watch. I hope he stays safe and goes far!P.S. and
you do not have to post this, I can read, but I do
have to get this off my chest before I explode, Triple
H's lyrics are, without a doubt, "one, two, is this
on", it is the singer testing the microphone before
the song. He is not asking what we want or talking
about some deep desire for an elf (who came up with
that?). "One, two". Counting. No big mystery. Case
closed!
Case closed! Jeff and Matt Hardy are enjoying a reign as Tag Team Champions as I write this, and I don't think it will be wise to split them up anytime soon. If they ever go their separate ways, I expect both Matt and Jeff to enjoy singles success.

Hi Dudes . Koool Site and everythings simply Rocks. on your site.. My
question is At WM 10 IC championship match between Razor and Shawn there was
two bvelts hanging above the ring.Why? Also chipping one In that match Shawn
pants were pulled down by Razor.Was it Accident?
In September 1993, Shawn was IC Champion, but at the time he was having problems with the office, and ended up getting suspended. On screen, the WWF explained that he'd been stripped of the Ti tle and suspended because he hadn't defended the gold in thirty days. The Title became vacant. A 20 Man Battle Royale was held, where the last two participants would later wrestle to determine a new Champion. Razor Ramon and Rick Martel were the last two remaining, and Razor defeated Martel to become the new IC Champ. By November of '93, Michaels had straightened out all his problems and was brought back to TV. With him, he brought his own version of the IC Belt, claiming that he'd never been beaten for the Title in the ring. Razor was the official IC Champion, but Shawn acted as if he were still Champion. The two settled their dispute once and for all with the famous Ladder match in March 1994 at Wrestlemania X, where Razor grabbed both belts to become the undisputed IC Champion. The fake belt was never seen again.

Hey I love your site. By the way, I've got a bet with my uncle and it was
that r Lenny Lane and Y2J r the same. I said they're different people. Well,
can u tell me if they're the same or different?
You win; they're different.

First and Foremost, this is the oracle of all wrestling sites. You guys
should feel most proud of yourselves, I visit every day.
Triple H has carried the WWF singlehandedly for the past year. Regardless
of whether playing the key role in numerous historic matches, or unselfishly
'jobbing' to put other wrestlers over whilst impeccably playing the WWF's
no.1 heel HHH has looked phemonenal throughout.
Minus his mic skills, The Rock is nothing more than an average performer.
And with the return of Austin (Without forgetting Kane, Jericho,
Benoit, Taker and Big Show), surely the three of them cannot operate as
faces at the same time.
My question is that now HHH obviously going through a major face turn, so
where does his future lie as a face? Actually what does the future hold
full stop for HHH? I think it would be unforgivable to remove him for any
length of time from the WWF title picture.
I see Triple H wrestling Kurt Angle for the Title at Survivor Series. He's spent the last few months mingling with Jericho, Angle, and Benoit, and I think it's about time for him to step into the spotlight surrounding the WWF Title once again.
From: Randall
Who, in your infinite wisdom, is the greatest WWF wrestler to never have won a title of any sort?
Geez, who knows? Maybe Jake "The Snake" Roberts. Ted DiBiase may be the best to never win a singles Title.
From: GrandMasterRJ10
Great site, whatever happened to Flash Funk?
I believe he went back to his Scorpio roots and went back to ECW. I'm not sure if he's still there, or has moved on to the independents.
From: Enano Loco
I remember the good old times when they were only four
PPVs per year. Can you please refresh my memory. Was
Sgt. Slaughter the first heel to win the WWF
heavyweight title on a PPV. Who was the first heel
who successfully defended the WWF title on a PPV?
Now that I think about it, yes, he was. The Undertaker, Ric Flair, and Yokozuna shortly followed. The first heel to successfully defend the Title on PPV was probably Yokozuna at Summerslam '93 against Lex Luger. It should also be noted that PPV World Title Matches where the heel won (such as The Undertaker at Survivor Series 1991, and Sgt. Slaughter at the 1991 Royal Rumble) were booked in the middle of the card, as to not ruin the ending by having a bad guy win the final match. The babyfaces were always victorious in the final PPV match for a ridiculous amount of years. It wasn't until very recently, in the late 90's, that all changed.

I have read & heard speculation of Shawn Michaels return to the WWF, However
the last i heard he was forced into early retirement due to injuries. With
all of the conflicting sources some swearing he's coming back and some
swearing he can't, which ones are reliable?
None are reliable. Only Shawn knows if he'll ever wrestle another match again. It's entirely up to him, and it's silly for us to speculate.

Hi Kayfabe and ofcourse Raj. Your site is the best damn site on the net.Just
got one ques:
What does Bronco-Buster signifies?X Pac uses it and JR says its
humiliating.
I know ots a stupid ques. but please answer me...
Kick on,
Raj and Kayfabe...You are the real New Age outlaws.
Rajah:-B.A. Billy gun
and kayfabe Road Doggg
Yo!!
I'd like to think that I'd be the Billy Gunn of that comparison. After all, I'm the muscular, blond that's been"out of action" for awhile, and Rajah "carries" our team with his wise words and catchy rhymes. Besides that, he has dreadlocks and he sings.
I don't think it really signifies anything. It's just a move he's always use, and one he made popular a couple of years ago.

With the rumours that the WWF creative team are going to give DX another run, this time as faces, i just have one question. If you guys became WWF bookers, what kind of angle would you give them? There's nothing i would like more than to see the DX of old, but if they are just going to act like fools (X-Pac anyone?) then what's the point? Just interested to know what you guys think....
I don't think we're going to see DX function as a unit again anytime soon. HHH is doing his own thing, and X-Pac is trying to get over as a heel. The status of The Road Dogg/Billy Gunn relationship hasn't even been addressed yet, let alone the entire DX situation. I say we kill DX. There's no point in reuniting them for another crappy sequel.

What's your opinion on Big Show (and Mark Henry) being forced to lose weight? Personally, I think that Big Show will be a more entertaining in-ring performer after weight loss. Perhaps some current WWF fans think that he is just a big overpaid lug, but that has not always been the case. When he first broke into WCW, he was in better shape and was very agile for a super heavyweight. He performed jump kicks and was even rumored to practice moonsaults (although he never actually attempted one). Before he left WCW, he gained weight and became a pure monster/brawler, which was pretty boring to watch. I hope he can lose the weigh get a chance to show WWF fans his athletic talents.
I agree, and that's part of the reason the WWF is doing this. Each man has a qeight clause in his contract, and the WWF is doing what they feel is best for the preformers and the company as a whole. I have no problem with the entire ordeal.

I was watching Jakked, and the match between Taka Michinoku and Essa Rios
was on. I'm looking at Essa's pants.. and all over his pants are little
white things that look like sperm! And if that's not enough.. on the back of
his pants, it says "EAT THIS!" Coincidence or perversion? Either way.. it's
pretty funny.
I believe you're referring to semen since it is common knowledge that sperm are microscopic. Anyway, I'm going with the latter- perversion. That's definitely perversion you're talking about. And in a big way.
From: Kappy
Great site, I know you hate to answer these opinion type questions, but
that's what I have, sorry. I am a big Albert fan, hey stop laughing, I know
I'm not the only one. Anyway, I think he has the potential to become a much
bigger star, and dare I say a maineventer. Given that he has only been
wrestling about three years total, and has no other major federation
experience, I think he is still in his Ringmaster/Rocky Maivia stage. What
do you think?
I like Albert. He's a good power wrestler. A recent Ross Report caught my eye when JR mentinoed that a year from now he sees Edge, Christian, Test, and Albert as being main event talents on their own. Wha? That might confues some. I mean Test has enjoyed success in the past, and Edge & Christian have proved themselves as the best tag team in the WWF (in a very deep field), but to some Albert might not belong with the other three. I think Albert has as good of a shot as anyone, but like everyone else he'll have to continue working hard, improve his mic skills, and fall into the right angles and situations. It's a tough road, and you have to have talent and the right amount of luck as well.
From: ds Your World Series prediction is as bad as your WWF picks. The yankees will destroy the mets. You f---ing Canadians don't know shit about baseball and should stick to Hockey. Blow ME!!!
JERICHO and your Mom's pussy are the only good things that have ever come out of Canada.
This one wasn't even adressed to the Mailbag, it was sent to me, but it was just so funny, I had to include it. See, he's talking to me, and I'm from Jersey. Rajah lives in Canada; I do not. Hence the reason the e-mail is so funny. At least in my view.
From: #1KaneFan
You know what I hate? I hate it when people send dumbass questions into
the mailbag that CAN'T POSSIBLY be answered by you, nor probably the
WWF! For example, who will win at Survivor Series or who hit Stone
Cold's car? It's common sense people! Now, that I've said that, here's
my question... Who is going to win the Intercontinental Title on Raw the
night after Wrestlemania in 2007? Thanks!
Um... probably Chris Jericho, since they're refusing to move him up the card. At this rate, he'll remain stagnant for another seven years.
From: Matt Levin
One of the worst booking decisions I have ever witnessed was the outcome of
the King of the Ring 1995. Having the no talent "Man on a Mission" Mabel
winning the tournament is just horrific. Shawn Michaels should have won his
first round match against Kama and Undertaker should have beaten the "Man
in the Kitchen" to make it to the second round. Now I know this would make
it so that HBK and the Undertaker would be fighting in the second round so
all the WWF had to do was switch the brakets around and given Shawn the
Roadie to fight second round and given Undertaker Savio Vega. At least then
the WWF would have a credible main event for the ppv and King of the Ring
winner in Shawn Michaels or Undertaker that people could be proud of. Can
you think up any reason as to why this atrocity took place?
I remember watching that show live and being dumbfounded. A tourney which boasted Razor Ramon (originally), Yokozuna, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker came down to Savio Vega and Mabel. Yep. Basically it was a big swerve. The WWF needed a big heel to oppose then-Champion Diesel, and they booked Mabel to win the Tournament, thus establishing him as a "monster". Michaels/Undertaker was teased probably to help the buyrate, but they didn't want two stars of that magnitude having their first ever meeting in a tournament environment. Shawn Michaels had just challenged Diesel as a heel months earlier, and now was riding a fresh babyface stint, so the WWF didn't want to rekindle his feud with Diesel. Undertaker was a fan favorite as well, and he was busy battling Kama and Ted DiBiase's corporation. It wasn't necessarily a bad idea to create another threat to Diesel (Mabel), but the way it was done certainly flopped. For those that don't know, Mabel now goes by the name of Viscera.

Kayfabe recently stated in that triple H owes his life to Mick Foley I'm
farley new to WWF and was intrigued by this could you please explain
It's just a figure of speech; an exaggeration if you will. In Mick Foley's final active months in the WWF, he put over WWF Champion, Triple H, time and time again. Foley, jobbed to Hunter at the Royal Rumble, No Way Out (where Trips actually retired him), and Wrestlemania. All I meant was that Foley's willingness to job so much did wonders to elevate Triple H, and I'm sure Trips is appreciative of it.

Man, pretty soon the mailbag is gonna only be write-ins from columnists. I
know it. Anyways, I would just like to give props to Kayfabe....anyone who
cracks a weirzo joke in public cant be all bad. I'd also like to put all
rumors to rest.....yes, BOTH Aree Jones and kayfabe do have schoolhood
crushes on me. Why, just last week, Aree Jones asked me for the ecology
homework (she woulda failed the last test if it wasnt for me), and when I
gave it to her, she wrote me a note back in PINK INK saying "Thank you,
Weakner Love you, Aree. p.s. - what's a bacteria colony?" I think that speaks
for itself. As for Kayfabe, he also wrote me a letter in pink ink stating
"Weakner, I want your love muscle. My friends call me kayfabe, but you can
call me 'Super Sex Machine in Bed Who Puts Out A Lot.' Later lover." Now, I
wasnt quite sure about this letter, but it DID have some sexual overtones to
it, which I'm sure you all can agree upon. Well, as I'm sure this probably
wont make it into the mailbag now, let me go on. Forget the kayfabe vs. rajah
main event at WM, I think "Not Todd C. Perego" (wink wink) and Rajah should
go at it in a shots til you drop match to determine the undisputed King Of
All Alcohol. People who know me know that I'm quite a little drinker myself,
so I will offer my services to referee this match. I will bring my dates,
Aree and Kayfabe to watch this killer bout. Well, I've rambled enough for one
five-minute period...time to take a break. Oh, I was also wondering what the
famous "MSG Incident" was. My friend told me that's where Farooq and X-Pac
became co-WWF champions. Are they really brothers? Well, just curious. Later
guys! Keep up the good work!
Do I really have to respond to that? I hate awkward moments...
