Got the old computer running. Yay. Still making an annoying high pitched whine, booo.

When people kept coming out to challenge for the title and Cole kept going “I’ve never seen anything like this”, maybe he was being really specific – since the last time they did it was for the US Title for Teddy Long’s GM debut, and this had cooler people and everyone getting mic time.

They’ve given enough to do brackets, actually.

Maybe I’ll spin it off into another page. Maybe it’s not worth it.

Presuming the blood works were all unplanned, all three people involved in the cruiserweight match did a great job of weaving it into the match story; having Charles ask London if he wanted to keep going added greatly to the dramatics, and it’s something they had to think of on the fly.

Was that Ricky Reyes in the way back left of the “Luther brags to cruiserweights/women” segment? I love those kind of “wrestlers as background” bits because they’re so enlightening:

  • Spike apparently needs to sit on something to make himself tall enough to be in the back row
  • Nunzio’s apparently a heel this week; see if it sticks
  • Akio figures if he’s going to be standing around doing nothing, he might as well put his arm around Rochelle. Smart man.
  • I’VE FIGURED OUT WHO ROCHELLE IS. I think.
  • Rochelle and Lauren (process of elimination) are apparently heels.

Oh crap, Eddie vs Kurt in Chicago. If I could figure a way to swing this – and say, not be a state away Tuesday – and probably not be stuck going alone, I might actually go to SmackDown!

Josh gets killed and Steve Romero finally gets to be subpar on SmackDown! in an interview segment clearly written for the talents of Mr. Mathews – concidence? NAH. I’m suspecting payoff. Carlito should’ve beat him up for dropping the apple.

The completely pointless Charlie’s Angels pose endeared me more to the new girls they’ve done not involving dodgeballs. NEW BLOOD. How ugly was Joy’s bikini, really? Really.

Lucha recaps coming tommorow evening. Gotta clear something off this TiVo. Tempted just to do AAA times and finishes because I recapped so much of the next CMLL show and now I have no access to it.

OJ going to defend the title at any point? Still trying to figure out who he can actually beat?
