corp open, show open.

This is Yet Another Special Edition of Heat - you can tell from the balloons! It's Heat #446, and your host is Todd, with a new haircut. Zoom in on the hair: "Less attractive? More attractive? Either way, I'm better looking then YOU are!" Hey! Todd wants to e-mail todd@wwe.com to give him feedback about this show or his hair, whichever interests you more. Todd: "We want to make this show as good as we possibly can." LIES! I think I'm in a 'mood'. Anyway, based on last week's poll, here's the top 4 rivalries of 2005.

4: Johnny Nitro vs Jeff Hardy. Would you believe they can hype an upcoming PPV match off of this? How fortunate.

November 20, 2006 RAW: Joined in progress - right as Jeff does the somersault senton onto the ladder which even freaks out Melina- and with some clipping while they're recovering. I always wonder how many spots on these matches had to be improvised because something failed or went wrong - like Nitro breaking the braces on the tall ladder here. Nitro must've suffered a concussion on the sunset flip bomb, and I can't believe Jeff didn't break his tailbone on the legdrop. (4:38 shown)

Todd channels Casey Kasem - No offense, does anyone still listen to him? I don't know the proper way to express this, but it's one of those references that people make not because the material they're referencing is particularly popular or insightful, because because the reference itself is popular and well known, to a point even past cliché. And now I've spent a million times longer thinking about than I should.

RAW: K-Fed vs Cena

3: Ric Flair vs Mick Foley - oddly, there's ongoing feud here. Shouldn't we start seeing hints of Mick if he's coming back for WM?

Ric Flair vs Mick Foley [I Quit], SummerSlam - highlights are aired exclusively in black and white. Can't show blood on the internet (or can't put together two versions for international and web.) Garbage match Ric Flair is just a bit odd. Why wouldn't you just station medical personal at ringside during an I Quit match? You know how it's going down. This pretty much all Foley getting killed. So, with how everything went down, what is Melina actually doing here? Has she not decided she's turning on Mick yet, or is she trying to lose the match for Mick (telling the refs he's had enough, trying to throw in the towel, eventually getting herself in position to be attacked by Flair. JR having to bend over backwards to position Flair as a babyface here is odd. (5:18 shown)

NYR: DX vs RKO - the Flair attack would've been a bigger deal if he wasn't already back. And also Cena vs Umaga.

2: John Cena vs Edge - oh, no, DX won. That's a horrible injustice.

RAW October 2: John Cena vs Edge: this is an actual highlight package, with musical overture and all. Hey, Lita. Why does she hold onto the chair when the ref is pulling her away? That's a little strange. Cade really has issues trying to drag Edge. You'd never think Trevor was the more athletic one of the crew. (4:20 shown)

DVD: Hulk Hogan

1: DX vs the McMahons. (BOOOOOOOOOOOO). Todd talks about the popularity of the "Vince Likes Cocks" chant and sells the t-shirt. Todd reveals that Coach blocked him from showing any highlights of the McMahons getting made fun of by DX, so instead Todd sends us to 

We're at Silverman's Farm for "Cock Talk with DX", which turns out to be a screen of Triple H "on the phone" talking to a man in a rooster suit. I guess they were going to film him in later? This is subtitled "Live via satellite", so I'm guessing this was a bit that was taped for RAW one week but never made it in? 20 cock jokes in a 2:30 piece, and you can sorta believe why it'd be was cut. 

Todd transitions to hyping DX/RKO to his email to Cena/K-Fed. That's some good transitioning.

That's it.
