Well, since I'm going solely by what I read online (I'm so thankful for my lack of cable at this point), I have to go with the Tomko "match." There was absolutely no reason a squash needed to stretch for 15 minutes. (Best line I've read about Tomko: "He's more like one of those "Create-a-Wrestlers" for a PS2 game that someone got crazy with adding the tattoos on.")
I've said it before here, I'll say it again: Tomko is one of the worst workers I've ever seen in my 12+ yr. "career" as a wrestling fan. He's just incredibly bad - not even CLOSE to ready for TV. He is a perfect example of a guy being where he is only because of his size & look, as the guy is about even with Nathan Jones or Heidenreich in the level of suck.
re: Lita pregnancy. I know it seems like a miscarriage angle, but having a jobber do it just seems anticlimatic. If anything, it shoulda been Tomko, to give the Lita/Trish feud that extra spice.
I would have to disagree. The problem with doing something like that is that you can't really walk away from that once it's done. Eventually, they may want to turn Trish or Tomko face, and how could they really effectively do that if they caused a miscarriage? Even by accident. I suppose they could just do as they do with everything else - conveniently forget that the event ever happened - but it's just too much suspension of disbelief. Better to have it happen because of the actions of some jobber who we'll never see again.
My call: Lita doesn't miscarry but she's off TV a few weeks under doctor's orders. Considering how the WWE has been hyping this angle, I can't believe they are gonna kill it now.
I would like to think that someone finally wisened up and realized - all wrestlecrap comedic value aside - just how awful this angle really is.
re: Vince's announcement. Could it be something that has to do with his own offspring?
99.99% sure the "big announcement" will be about the October RAW PPV, "Taboo Tuesday", where the gimmick is rumored to be that the fans will be picking the matches. The GM announcement is rumored to be something about having using elections to select the RAW GM - that Vince, he capitalizes on everything. Even election years.
re: Foley/Bradshaw debates. Holy fuck, I don't even want to see Kerry and Bush debate, what makes you think I want to see Foley and Bradshaw debate?
"Trainwreck" isn't the right word, but it's the first word that comes to mind.
re: Simon System. It could work, but it needs a hot chick. I'm glad to see they are kind of combining the Positive Page gimmick (which I was a fan of) with the Bodydonnas.
I'm no huge fan of Nova, but he deserves better than this. Stupid gimmick, but it could be amusing.
re: Batista. Is it wrong to be a mark for him?
Not really. Look at his clothes! Batista is fucking pimptacular.

Don't blame me....I voted for Kodos.
I look forward to an orderly election that will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath. </center>
