I think so. The giveaway is his face, and the 619 tattoo.

Backlash also has the awful Queensbury rules match. The whole setup was dire. But it does have Benoit and Angle in the ultimate submission match


I remain convinced Shane either massively misjudged how far he had to fall or he was involved in a petty "who can fall the furthest" contest with Sting. I mind the Queensbury rules match as well, I'm convinced it was just an excuse to bring a bird out and relieve her of her dignity/skirt.

WTF??? that was a bit weird. If they could get him to do that, then why not have him as a celeb host?

Rhaka Khan has had numerous reports about how mental she is put up on various Internet Wrestling sites.

We've really only heard Kurt's Side so far though, so no matter how much I want to feel sorry for Kurt and believe it was all her, I guess we should wait and see.

The WCW set is out on the 25th August in the US, which probably means you could have it by the end of next week.

Available here: -

I can't wait until October! :D

Click the green play button at the bottom left of the main boxart picture. It isn't exactly well signposted admittedly.

Things are beginning to unravel backstage...

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter (f4wonline.com)

One of the most prominent things heard at WWE creative meetings from Vince McMahon is his overall frustration with the product as of late and complaining about the company's inability to create new stars. Probably the biggest criticism the company is getting now is pushing their TV harder than PPV events in the last year or so.

One WWE source added, "Vince and his current crop of generals are so inside a bubble that they cannot even define what is logical anymore. Vince has put considerable distance between his brilliance as a promoter and matchmaker and his current path, which I can best describe as disjointed booking and promoting that even he second guesses. That's never good. The difference between Vince and others is that he's falling for the trap of buying into the sh*t that a lot of the wrong generals are shovelling his way. Guys like Brian Gewirtz are horrendously bad for business. Hayes is solid and consistent but he's paranoid as sh*t nowadays and also is long gone in terms of having an understanding of cultural shifts."

It should also be noted that during a creative meeting two weeks ago, McMahon actually said, "GOD DAMMIT! WHY CAN'T WE CREATE NEW STARS?"

Sounds similar to what happened to Eric Bischoff in 1999. The pressure becomes too much, you've simply run out of ideas & things ultimately start going wrong. If Vince took a holiday for a month (while putting on a month's worth of bog standard shows) he may come back refreshed. It'll never happen though, of course.

Rog, just arrived home and opened a package from you - Batman (the 1960s television movie) on blu-ray.

Absolutely awesome, mate. Thanks very much :D
