Raw thoughts and miscellany...

Being an Internet wrestling geek, I like to think I have a pretty good handle on what's going on. That said, I'm usually pretty happy when Vince and his writers decide to throw me a curve. Last night, they decided to.

In about three weeks, WWE is going to be having an "interactive" PPV event called Taboo Tuesday. Theoretically, the fans are going to be allowed to decide a few things involved with the show. One of those things is choosing the opponent of the current World Champ, HHH. Prior to last night's show, the IWC seemed convinced that regardless of the vote, Randy Orton would be the "choice" of the fans. Well, last night, Orton seemingly got his ass whipped out of the running by Batista with help from HHH and Flair. The favorite would now seem to be Chris Benoit, though Orton may find his way back into the voting. Vince is nothing if not fickle, abandoning whole storylines at will if he thinks something will pop the fans better.

Other then that surprise, Raw was pretty mediocre. Orton did cut a fantastic promo on Ric Flair, which had me almost believing that Flair might abandon HHH for good. Silly me, of course, but Flair did such a good job of selling his uncertainty that I thought he actually might turn on HHH.

The Lita/Kane/Gene Snitsky angle unfortunately continued, as Snitsky has seemingly been added to the Raw roster. He got a win over Val Venis(remember when he was IC champ? No, me neither) as the crowd chanted "babykiller" at him, which I thought was pretty funny. (That's one way to get over with the crowd.)

HHH and Shelton Benjamin had another DQ finish match, though Benjamin held his own with HHH. Moving him over from the SD~! roster was the best thing they ever did.

Next week, we get HBK vs. Christian for the IC belt, and theoretically, the Kane/Snitsky confrontation that I was expecting this week.

Some recent search results that got people here:

The ever popular "Salo Torrent"
The still equally popular "Is Lita really pregnant/married to Kane?" (Come on, people, it's wrestling.)
"Thriller: A Cruel Picture Trailer"
"Thriller: A Cruel Picture Torrent"
"Thriller: A Cruel Picture DVD"
"Hopkins and De La Hoya Clips"
"Doriana Gray Torrent"
"Raw Randi Orton" - No, the misspelling is correct.
"Larry Merchant On Pacquaio"
"semiporn"

For the last time, I don't have any torrents here~!

Children of the Corn was written and directed by Special Olympians.
Does THAT count?

Ken, it's a pretty terrible quality VHS rip, but I'll probably check it out in the next day or two. It's about the same quality as my fifteen-millionth-generation copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special.
