I haven't posted here since early Monday morning. Sorry about that - the heat has really been getting to me.

I'll post my thoughts on most of the week of wrestling. As a result of the delay, much of it will already be staledated:

• Brock Lesnar not winning the IC title from RVD thanks to disqualification was a good choice. He's still too much of a rookie to deserve the strap, and a DQ loss keeps his push going.



• Are they trying now to make the nWo faces against Vince McMahon?



• It seems that Vince Russo was hired back to keep his Tell All book from going to press. His first set of ideas were roundly veto'd, and while he's still on the payroll, it isn't on the creative team.



• For what it's worth, I think that Chris Jericho went overboard in his attack on Internet pundits - but I do think the ones he was upset with specifically deserve contempt.



• John "Prototype" Cena debuted on Smackdown! solidly, but he didn't show any real sizzle to me. That will hopefully change.



• Am I imagining, or did Adam "Edge" Copeland hit heavy steroids again before returning? He looked bigger yet again.

See you all after the Diva's special tonight, following Velocity and Confidential. Why TNN was worried the content would be too racy when they're airing a Pamela Anderson week puzzles me. Then again, take away wrestling and Star Trek and you still have a network devoted to hick stereotypes (huntin' and fishin' and Monster trucks).

While the just-finished (before 11) King of the Ring had some good parts, overall it was in my view a mediocre show.

Spoiler Warnings. Don't read any further if you don't want to know what happened.

The show opened with a great semi-final match. RVD and Chris Jericho put on a tremendous show, with great spots and false finishes galore. RVD came out with a clean win, yet it made another justification for the "Canadians get screwed" storyline Lance Storm started. Jericho got in a serious post-match beatdown too.

The second semi-final match wasn't so exciting. Test vs. Brock Lesnar was the expected big man power match. Except for one nasty stiff-looking boot from Test, this match was pretty forgettable.

Ric Flair versus Eddie Guerrero was a better match than I expected. It started from a hilarious promo by Eddie, and I saw one of the funniest signs of the show ("Eddie Guerrero: The Dirtiest Mullet in the Game"). It ended with a cluster, with Chris Benoit interfering to try to help his buddy, but interference by Bubbah Ray Dudley (a feud between him and Guerrero just doesn't grab me) helped Flair get the win.

The Woman's Title match provided a palate-cleanser, with Molly Holly coming out the victor in another pretty forgettable match.

The Cruiserweight title match saw Jaime Noble win the strap. There were some cool spots and counters, but I didn't find him and Hurricane clicked. This also continues the non-division Cruiserweight division; except for challenges for the title, we don't get to see them face each other that much. Ah well... Rey Mysterio Jr. will be there soon (his first hype promo was on Heat, so he'll probably be the next champ in a few weeks.

RVD faced Brock in the Final. We got to see some nice spots and near-pinfalls, but Lesnar continued his push to the moon by winning. He's just too green to really be over yet, I feel.

The funniest promo of the night had Rock confront Goldust and Booker T. Goldust tried to imitate the Rock, complete with a raised eyebrow makeup, and that ended up providing fodder for the crazy stuff to come.

Hulk Hogan versus Kurt Angle was saved by Kurt. It also made for an historic moment: the first time Hogan ever tapped out.

The main event was a sheer clusterfug. Multiple ref bumps, mistake interference by the Rock, and all three guys beating on each other. The Undertaker retained, but the entire match was either dull or left me scratching my head at all the extra-curriculars.

Ultimately, there was nothing to make this PPV really memorable to me.
