I'm missing the Great American Bash right now, as my PPV hookup is currently out of commission.


It gave me a chance to catch up on last night's Velocity. There were some disappointing things, and one very cool surprise.


Tops on the disappointing chart: we got another underwhelming match for Frankie Kazarian. Unlike last time, he didn't even use a cool finishing move. The only good thing about the match came when he commented about Scotty 2 Hotty: "You're still doing the same things." Considering how I've been bored with Scotty's matches for a long time that rang true to me.


The Blue World Order getting match time was cool to me. Unfortunately Blue Meanie did the exact same Razor Ramon imitation over and over. It got more annoying every time he did it.


Between Velocity and Heat a lot of footage of Mohammad Hassan was aired, including the notorious "terror cell" bit. I'm more and more getting the suspicion we're being worked about the character being retired after the PPV. I guess tomorrow we'll know for sure. I'm not wishing unemployment on him, but if we're being duped for WWE to swerve us all, I'd resent it. Few of us make money to work online; I wouldn't appreciate being used for free heat.


On the cool side: MNM were originally supposed to face Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney, but Axl couldn't get clearance from the athletic commission to appear.


That was a bad break for them, but in their place we got to see Roadkill and Danny Doring! That was probably a major mark-out moment for a lot of viewers, me included!
