Are they still gearing up for Edge/Undertaker at WrestleMania in an "undefeated" match (UT's streak versus Edge's pseudo-streak)?

You know, with the way they're making Hardy look, I'm actually pretty excited about that main event ppv.
Oh, and I was wondering: is that Raw Anniversary dvd worth picking up for $20? I wanted to know what else was on it besides the stuff they mentioned on the back of the box, and I couldn't find the info elsewhere.

I couldn't find ESPN Classic on my cable system until after last night's airing of the UWF show, but after reading that Paul Orndorff came out to "You Can't Touch This", I'll definitely be catching it next week.

Funny you should metion that, because I'm watching it right now. I'm still on the first disc watching the "Pillman's Got A Gun" segment from '96.
It well worth the price for what you get. They cut out the fat from the matches I've seen thus far, but so far so good as to keeping most of the original content intact. Oh, and there's mch more than what on the back of the box.
Here's a rundown:

So, what the hell, WWE?
Jericho makes his 'triumphant' return to WWE, and gets thrown into an immediate title feud, where he is subsequently made to look weak, and then COMPLETELY GIVES UP THE HUNT even though THAT WAS THE ENTIRE REASON HE SAID HE CAME BACK.

[quote name='Zen Davis']Personally I hope that Matt Hardy wins the Royal Rumble and faces Edge at Wrestlemania and Jeff Hardy gets a rematch against Orton at Wrestlemania, but although you may not like the booking (in the same way a lot of people don't like Nigel McGuinness as RoH World champ), everything has come off in a nice, logical progression since the Survivor Series.[/QUOTE]
Matt Hardy win the the rumble and both Hardy's main eventing WM? I'd mark out for it but we know it'll never happen. Matt's return and recent feud has been building him towards a US Title run and hopefully elevating MVP to the World Title hunt in the process. I couldn't really see him winning the Rumble, but Money In the Bank feels more reasonable as its not as big a feat.
Jeff would be a more believable World Title contender if he dropped the IC title. Give to Kennedy, or hell even JBL so him and Jericho are fighting over something more. I'd even go as far as keeping Jericho busy by making the IC title picture hot again. And having a quick glimpse at the Raw titles, Londrick needs the damn tag belts. They need to be on TV wrestling every week, not Holly and Rhodes.

I think it would be wonderful for the MVP/Hardy angle if Hardy just bypassed MVP, won the World Title, and then made MVP dick around to get a shot at the belt the same way MVP made Hardy dick around. That and with the Edge/Hardy, you'd have ready made feuds to last through the majority of 2008 on Smackdown.

Wrestling matches involving clocks are just so

It's like when I was a kid, and I'd watch WCW Worldwide Wrestling. If the ring announcer ever got on with that "10 minutes. 10 minutes passed. 5 minutes remaining" crap, then I knew that the TV champion would take his fatal pinfall with 2 seconds left. How droll.

See thats the problem. I guess in a way it makes the IC title look like a stepping stone, but I think it takes away more from the belt. Theres nothing special happening to around it. Theres no one chasing the IC title and no one seems to care that Jeff is the champion. If they booked it to where Jeff had to defend the IC title and attempt to win the WWE title in the same night, not only would that make the IC belt look more prestigious (as in its important enough to be defended at a PPV) but it would also make Hardy look like a beast. Say he loses the IC belt at the beginning of the PPV, it'll make his WWE title match look even more important and believable that he would hold that belt instead. The other thing is the roster is so big that they shouldn't need the IC champ to be chasing the WWE champ.
[quote name='Zenithian Legend']Matt vs Edge should be attempted again, assuming tempers have cooled now.[/QUOTE]
I too would like to see this. Their feud had a weak end by sending Matt to Smackdown. Smackdown needs a new face to fight Edge. The "Edge heads" add some good heat, but its only been a couple weeks and I'm sick of the handicap matches against Batista/Taker. Elevating Matt via MITB would be a very nice option, because as far as faces go on Smackdown he seems next in line. Mysterio has been pretty stale since his return while the Matt/MVP feud was very entertaining. I guess Kane would be the other top face, but all he does now is scare the heel with his pyro as a "surprise opponent".

This thread title just got a bit more fitting, as a SHEIKY MID-SOUTH MATCH just aired on Cheap Seats on ESPN Classic after the UWF (non-Mid-South version, ironically enough). I expected to see some bad UWF action, and got that PLUS some great Mid-South action (which is still ongoing). I'm loving this night of wrestling action.
Those UWF shows were... something. The first was full of has-beens, while the second was full of never-wases, and Adam Bomb had an axe, Boogie Woogie cut an insane promo, and John Tolos said many absurd things.

Bullet Bob replacing Kip James makes me happy. A senior citizen could be the world tag champion of TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION WRESTLING, while cutting promos better than anyone else in the company. Of course, that won't happen, and the rest of this just sounds like utter shit.
Great, Abyss and Mesias are Kane the Undertaker, fine - this could almost slightly possibly work if fans bought either man as a monster, thus leading to them being UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINES if they team up. Unfortunately for TNA, no one buys them as monsters, so even looking beyond this being a copycat angle of one of the worst angles ever, this completely fails.

Herb Abrams on B. Brian Blair: "He is a fan favorite, and one of the favorites of fans."
Man, I want to say "who booked this crap?" Dan Spivey should have squashed Blair. Not quite broke his back,ed his ass, and made him humble...but it should have been an easy win.
It's pretty nostalgic stuff so far, and even though it comes from 1990-1991 or so, there are fewer dead wrestlers on it than there are in the average 1994-1996 episode of WWF television.

What Lance Storm wishes to see in 2008.
[quote name='Lance Storm']This week rather than a look back at 2007 I thought I would take a look ahead, and talk about what I would like to see in 2008…sort of a Lance Storm 2008 wish list, if you will.
ROH: I would love to see ROH land some form of regular TV deal. I just started getting the Fight Network at the tail end of last year and they air an hour of ROH programming each week. The shows appear to just be random DVD match selections, but the stuff is great. I also saw my first ROH PPV this year (Man Up), which was fantastic so the idea of getting to follow the up to date product and follow the PPV build would be tremendous. ROH, for me, is the true WWE alternative programming so I would love to see it get a regular up to date TV program. ROH needs to be exposed to a much bigger market because their product is very good.
TNA: I’m not going to bother wishing for a booking or announcing change in 2008 because that seems to be a futile wish and a subject that has been done to death. What I’d most like to see apart from that in TNA is the return of “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. The AJ Styles that I saw on Impact this week was the biggest idiot loser in this business’s history, and I’d like the return of the guy that once headlined this company as World Champion. Why anyone would take such a uniquely gifted and talented performer and turn him into the biggest Jack Ass in wrestling history is beyond me. Remember the TNA review show they did on Monday that one time RAW was pre-empted? They declared the 3-way match with AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe the greatest match in TNA history. I want that AJ Styles back… actually I’d like that Christopher Daniels and that Samoa Joe back too, but that may be asking too much. AJ is now a Jack Ass, Daniels has been “fired”, and Samoa Joe is now a big whiner…ah TNA.
WWE: There are a few things I’d like to see in 2008 from WWE, the first being the immediate dropping of the Hornswaggle McMahon angle. I am so completely tired of this angle. It produced a nice laugh at Vince’s expense when it was first revealed and managed to somehow turn Finlay baby face, but I can’t see what else this program can produce, apart from a ton of bad matches and poor ratings. The other thing I’d love to see in 2008 is the immediate baby face turn and push of Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin is a lot like AJ Styles in that he is a uniquely gifted athlete that can do things no other performer can do. When Shelton was first moved to RAW and given that brief pushing beating HHH he was amazing, not to mention that awesome match he had on RAW with HBK. Remember the springboard into the super kick finish? That was awesome. I would also like to see Santino Marella made into a full time manager. I have no interest in seeing this guy in matches on a regular basis but I’d be more than happy to hear him cut promos every week. Santino is one of the most entertaining promos WWE has produced in years, maybe decades, and needs to be a regular part of the show but, as I said before, I have no interest in seeing this guy wrestle.
UFC: Above all else I want to see the end of the string of upsets that plagued UFC in 2007. One or two surprise wins can be good for business but when they happen all the time they do more harm than good. If no one wins consistently and every match is a coin toss, no one becomes a star, and it is very hard to create big matches for PPV. I know this business is a shoot and UFC has no control over this but this is a wish list and that is what I wish for. To start a more consistent year I’d love to see Brock Lesnar excel in UFC. His UFC debut in February will like be the first UFC PPV I order and if he can start a dominant win streak Brock Lesnar could become UFC’s next big thing, and that would make me very happy.[/quote]
[quote name='Lance Storm']This week rather than a look back at 2007 I thought I would take a look ahead, and talk about what I would like to see in 2008…sort of a Lance Storm 2008 wish list, if you will.
ROH: I would love to see ROH land some form of regular TV deal. I just started getting the Fight Network at the tail end of last year and they air an hour of ROH programming each week. The shows appear to just be random DVD match selections, but the stuff is great. I also saw my first ROH PPV this year (Man Up), which was fantastic so the idea of getting to follow the up to date product and follow the PPV build would be tremendous. ROH, for me, is the true WWE alternative programming so I would love to see it get a regular up to date TV program. ROH needs to be exposed to a much bigger market because their product is very good.
TNA: I’m not going to bother wishing for a booking or announcing change in 2008 because that seems to be a futile wish and a subject that has been done to death. What I’d most like to see apart from that in TNA is the return of “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. The AJ Styles that I saw on Impact this week was the biggest idiot loser in this business’s history, and I’d like the return of the guy that once headlined this company as World Champion. Why anyone would take such a uniquely gifted and talented performer and turn him into the biggest Jack Ass in wrestling history is beyond me. Remember the TNA review show they did on Monday that one time RAW was pre-empted? They declared the 3-way match with AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe the greatest match in TNA history. I want that AJ Styles back… actually I’d like that Christopher Daniels and that Samoa Joe back too, but that may be asking too much. AJ is now a Jack Ass, Daniels has been “fired”, and Samoa Joe is now a big whiner…ah TNA.
WWE: There are a few things I’d like to see in 2008 from WWE, the first being the immediate dropping of the Hornswaggle McMahon angle. I am so completely tired of this angle. It produced a nice laugh at Vince’s expense when it was first revealed and managed to somehow turn Finlay baby face, but I can’t see what else this program can produce, apart from a ton of bad matches and poor ratings. The other thing I’d love to see in 2008 is the immediate baby face turn and push of Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin is a lot like AJ Styles in that he is a uniquely gifted athlete that can do things no other performer can do. When Shelton was first moved to RAW and given that brief pushing beating HHH he was amazing, not to mention that awesome match he had on RAW with HBK.

I like Lance Storm's in-ring work, but should we really take the musings of a guy that never got over seriously?

Meltzer didn't make that star rating system - Jim Cornette and someone else did. The Senshi thing's been known for about a day, and could be a good deal for him. Also, here's the three-disc Austin DVD set match listing, which seems incredibly limited given that some of these matches are already on DVD, and WWE owns every significant match the man has ever had.

I don't think he invented five-star ratings. I certainly don't use the same criteria he does for rating wrestling matches.
EDIT: Obviously the one WM match is on DVD elsewhere, but what other matches are available on DVD already?

The Unforgiven '98 match is on that show's DVD release, as is the Austin-Rock WM X7 match, while the HBK/Austin win the tag title match was on the Monday Night War DVD, the Summerslam '97 match was on the Stone Cold Truth DVD, and the Slamboree '93 match was already on the Pillman set.
There's still some gold on there (like the Austin-Steamboat Clash match that Austin wanted on his What? DVD, but they put their BATB match on instead), but a bunch of stuff that just doesn't need to be archived on DVD (like the Kane title win match, that redneck triathlon, or the Yoko-Austin match).
Of course, I'm bummed that the ONE HOLLYWOOD BLONDES MATCH on this set is just a duplicate from another set when they were solid gold throughout their entire run and it doesn't looks like it'll ever be documented really well on DVD (although the Stone Cold Truth did an okay job with it).

I loved my second night of Abrams UWF... action. The first show (the first half of the second show from last night) featured MORE HORRID COMMENTARY, even worse wrestling, and Bob Orton(or Ortron, as shown on the graphic) Jr. cut a promo involving Randy while wearing a stars and bars title belt and pink and white Zubaz.
The second show featured a fake Chief Jay Strongbow, a 10-minute long squash match involving "THE BLACK KNIGHT" facing Davey Meltzer, and both were hilarious thanks to Abrams' commentary, which included a 20 minute meeting in Strongbow's teepee resulting in a personal drizzle, and Davey Meltzer needing to take notes during the squash match. Then Col. DeBeers said he wouldn't wrestle because the referee was black, so the ref fast-counted him, then beat got beaten up by DeBeers in the main event.

Oh, and apparently, WWE has signed Chris Harris to a deal. His TNA contract expired last week, and he left the company despite them wanting to stay. Given that he couldn't even get over as a face to the Impact Zone fans for an extended period of time, I'm a bit leery of him being in WWE, but hopefully it works out for him.

Bruno - The Black Knight is about 6 foot 8, 280 pounds, and he’s much bigger than this Davey Meltzer guy.
Bruno - I’m not too familiar about this Black Knight. He could be wearing that mask due to a deformity - I knew a man like that who had an accident and chose to wore a mask.
Bruno - Black Knight hits the shoeplex. Double chickenwing shoeplex!
Abrams - Meltzer should be taking notes on this match.
Bruno - Davey looks like he could use a little more gym work.
(Meltzer punches the Knight)Abrams - COME ON, DAVEY BOY!
Bruno - Bardy slam!
Abrams - WHO IS THIS MASKED MAN, I ASK!?
Bruno - He is shooting cackles at this big man, Spivey, you can’t do that against him.
Abrams - This Mike Allen, from Local Town, California, is no match for Dangerous Dan Spivey. He’s DEVIOUS!
Abrams - CHIEF JAY STRONGBOW IS IN THE UWF, BRUNO! He showed me around his teepee for about 20 minutes, Bruno.
Bruno - Was it a big teepee? Were there other Indians?
Abrams - IT WAS THE BIGGEST TEEPEE AT THE RESERVATION! And it had about 11 other Indians.
Abrams - The chief knows that ring inside and outside the ring, Bruno.
Bruno - Yes, he does.
Abrams - COME ON CHIEFY! You know, he showed me that war dance when I was over at his teepee, and it started to drizzle a bit.
Bruno - This David Sammartino name rings a bell.
DeBeers - I DON’T WANT A BLACK REFEREE REFEREEING COL. DEBEER’S MATCHES!
Bruno - BOOM, WHAT A TACKLE!
Abrams - HE’S STOMPING LARRY!

Thanks for posting the match listing for the Austin DVD!
A few things:
1. A match on a '98 DVD release is going to be nearly impossible to obtain now, so I don't mind that being on here.
2. I can live with only 1 WM match, I'd prefer no WM matches, and those saved for the WM box sets, but that was a very important match in Austin's career.
3. The Slamboree match from the Pillman DVD was definitely a poor choice. Despite being a good match, I'd like to think there's other Hollywood Blondes material they could've pulled from. Weird...
4. The Redneck triathlon is definitely a waste of space, but I actually am kind of glad the other two matches were included. Any match with Yoko is fascinating to me just because of his crazy size. That was near the end of Yoko's career though, so it's probably a bit rough. I do like the Kane matches being on there. I doubt Kane will ever get another title reign, or his own DVD (outside of See No Evil) so having his 24 hour reign on there is kind of cool.

Or name for that matter. I say, Calvin Le Vus!
To play up on the fact that his name isn't really Calvin at all, kind of like what they did with Monty Brown.
Seriously though, I wouldn't be surprised if they gave him a different name than Chris.
Due to:
A. Benoit
B. Jericho and Masters when they bring him back after all the steroid allegations die down.

Vince cannot resist an unnaturally large muscle man. They probably told him to lay low for awhile, go hang out in the indies or Japan. Try to get at least a little better, and we'll see ya in a year or two.
I like Jayson Jupiter, although I'm pretty sure it'll be something as unique as "Drew McIntyre/Galloway" Not sure if they ever went one way or another on that.
Either way, I'd imagine WWE does nothing to put over a talent from TNA, and Harris is stuck on SD/ECW. Ironically, he could end up in Masters' spot in a high profile feud with Chuck Palumbo.
If he's to have any chance of succeeding, he must be a good heel. WWE desparately needs more top heels, although at the same time there's an abundance of mid-card heels. You do the math.
