OK, it's been 5 days I haven't had the emotional energy to post to this column. I won't let terrorists force my life on hold anymore!


WWF RAW aired yesterday. With a week to go until the Unforgiven PPV, they needed to get storylines flowing. Also, after a week of doom and gloom, we all needed something lighter to lift our spirits. Smackdown! was intended for that, but it didn't air in all markets (including mine), so this helped instead.


Raven's destruction of 'Moppy' was pretty tasteless, considering. Hopefully it'll help to bring an ending to one of the dumbest wrestling gimmicks today.


I have to wonder how many people got the Mr. Bill reference in his acts... unless it was just me. Considering I grew up with the Mr Bill clay cartoons on Saturday Night Live in the early 1980s, I got it. I'm not so sure a lot of todays fans did, though.


Tazz is definitely being built up as a face in the Alliance. I just hope that means he'll actually get to be the talented grappler he is.


Kurt Angle pinning Steve Austin... if Austin doesn't get a victory on this week's Smackdown!, I'm worried he won't win the title. Even though the 'party line' is that victories aren't traded that way, that's the way it always seems to happen.
