But this doesn't have The Rock in???
I know, but I felt like those videos were showing just how much more you could get away with saying in the Attitude Era compared to today, and I felt the Jericho video emphasized that even more.

Can you imagine the trouble he'd get into today if he called someone a filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, bottom feeding, trashbag, ho on TV today? Especially with the anti-bullying campaign going on?

It's a shame. Jericho's feuds with Stephanie/Triple H were classic. Too bad Triple H pretty much beat his ass in every single one. I don't recall Hunter EVER letting Jericho go over on him, which always irked me

Jericho beat him for his title in their very first match together, not long after he made the jump to the WWF. Of course, HHH just demanded it back later and Jericho complied. Kind of like Hogan winning the AWA title twice or The Rockers winning the WWF tag titles. :roll:

Did anyone else see that match between Kurt Angle and Bully Ray last night? Freaking incredible! That was PPV quality. They are two of the best in the world today, and the younger generation could learn a thing or two by watching them.

I remember that. And as a big Jericho fan, it pissed me off to no end. I brought it up to my wrestling buddies all the time, well until Jericho was the first Undisputed Champion of both WCW & WWF. That kind of topped it.

and that's because unlike Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold are actually willing to put people over

I haven't watched this week's TNA yet, but I saw the last two weeks of episodes. There was this hardcore match between Bully Ray and this lawyer guy that I enjoyed. Bully plays an excellent heel, and you hardly ever see hardcore matches with people bleeding in the WWE anymore. I like the story they told in the ring, and I thought the post match transformation/black hole slam was awesome. Keep in mind I hadn't been keeping up with TNA prior to seeing this episode. So everything in that week's episode was very new to me, and those two guys immediately got me invested in their match. TNA really seems solid right now. There's only one thing bugging me. What ever happened to the lovely Velvet Sky? I loved her. She was the charismatic, gorgeous babe that the WWE's skinny, plastic looking Kelly Kelly wishes she could be.

Funny you mention that. I just read yesterday that:
She's leaving TNA. No word on if she has plans to pursue a career in WWE or ROH yet.
I agree that she's gorgeous, though, for sure. An 11. Winter (in TNA) also does it for me.

:shock:

So, how'd you get hooked up with him? Did you start hanging out with these guys from the whole Dolph Ziggler thing? I'm pretty sure we'd all love to hear your stories about this! Let us live vicariously through you. :)

Nathan needs to make a Tout video. They probably wouldn't put it on TV though. Nathan is too cool for the WWE

I thought that was a surprisingly good Raw. Punk was really delivering on the mic work tonight, and I loved that both him and Daniel Bryan got so much screen time, more than Cena even. Daniel Bryan has come a long way. I once thought of him as a modern day Benoit, but he is already so much better than Benoit ever was it's not even funny.

AJ was EXCELLENT as GM. They can keep her in that role for quite some time if you ask me. She's knows exactly how to play the role and she's cute as hell. I'll happily take her as GM over the boring, ugly, old guys we get with guys like Laurinitis and Teddy Long. They should get a young GM on Smackdown too. Shake things up WWE!

Isn't if funny how both Daniel Bryan and Punk pretty much hate AJ now? Did she send Kane to attack Daniel Bryan? That could be interesting, though I like Kane better when he's destroying people for his own personal enjoyment. I liked that street fight. Daniel Bryan was so damn aggressive in that match.

I'm so used to the two hour shows that I thought the Jericho/Christian vs Ziggler/Miz match was the main event. The last hour went by fast though. I didn't actually mind the three hours

First off, Nathan, awesome video with Morrison. I remember hearing that Keith's 'cousin' made that Undertaker/HHH rap video with Morrison so I'm guessing that's the source of the hook up. Whatever the case it was a great watch.

Raw tonight was awesome, and AJ is shaping up to be a great choice for GM. I laughed so damn hard at the end when Punk came back out and the conversation went:
Punk, "I'm the WWE Champion!"
AJ, "I'm the GM."
Punk, "I don't care if you're the G-you're a bad GM! You're crazy!"

LMAO

[edit]
Gotta mention Bryan's little pissy-fit in the ring too, lol, that was hysterical.
