Baby Doll is a bull moose of a woman. I'm glad I can respond. She was a big woman but I guess it didn't matter. She was good at what she does. Her shoot was interesting too and her views on the Divas are debatable. (Should be around 45-50 and is aging well) I need to rehear the entire shoot interview, which was good by the way. Jim Cornette is a knowledgable guy. Dumb question, but were the original DX supposed to be heels or faces? The Attitude Era was a time where there it wasn't easy to tell who were heels and who were faces due to crowd reaction. Monday Night Raw was the funniest, most exciting Raw I have seen in a while. I am glad that CM Punk thanked Batista who literally won the match for him. Now that was a beat down. I marked when he won, because isn't that what Edge did to John Cena?

-I've always found Tommy Dreamer's character to be off-putting and a bit ham-fisted. It's especially bothersome because I enjoy him as a worker.
-The United States spinner belt was GORGEOUS.
-The promos between Flair and Foley during their brief WWE feud weren't that great, regardless if they were rooted in reality or not. In fact, they were outright weird.
-Miss Elizabeth was even hotter than a lot of the current divas/knockouts.
-I didn't mind when the Rock made gay jokes, and I don't mind when Cena does it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. RD Reynolds is not funny. He's anti funny, like those Epic/Scary/Date/Disaster Movies. I try to listen to Wrestlecrap Radio every so often but I usually turn it off within five minutes whenever he goes into his Mr. Derp routine.

Wiggly is awesome. He's awkward on camera but his (and all his friend's/guest's) wrestling podcast is the best out there, bar none. I also don't think people realize how much effort he puts into Chikara.

I try to listen to Wrestlecrap Radio every so often but I usually turn it off within five minutes whenever he goes into his Mr. Derp routine. In a way, I have to agree with you. Over the past couple of years, the Wrestlecrap site has become crap itself. Every so often, we get a new (short!) update that looks like it was put together in all of two minutes; and it's accompanied by stuff that's been posted a dozen times before. Why bother with the site if no effort is going to be put into it?

The Brody murder had a far bigger and worse impact on the wrestling world than the Benoit murders will ever have.

Because I can kinda see both sides of the argument Brody was murdered by a fellow wrestler who still works for that company today. There were friends of Brody who have still yet to set foot in Puerto Rico because of it, and vice versa. It really put an end to a lot of the PR/US wrestling relationships, which only hurt the wrestling world. A lot of people are still bitter about it to this day(with good reason.) Everyone in the Benoit incident is no longer alive. And the biggest thing that happened because of that was the short media crapstorm. But a year later, most of the public wouldn't remember the name Chris Benoit. Wrestling has gotten back pretty much where it was before the incident.

-Having Regal cut off the last few minutes of RAW was not brilliant writing at all and if TNA did this everybody would be screaming about wanting to murder Vince Russo
-Vickie Gierrero is not this great heel that everyone is saying she is she's an annoyance and is probably part of the reason CW is dropping smackdown
-Steve Blackman was not entertaining even accidentally
-If Shane McMahon were anybody other than Vince McMahon's son he would be setting up the ring for a backyard fed. Sure he can take insane bumps but guess what so can 3,456,789,021 guys working the indy circuit
-The territory system was never going to survive
-Giving away big matches on free TV is a necessary evil. You still have to sell the weekly show. Spike TV and USA network aren't running wrestling programs out of the goodness of their hearts.

Well, I'll definately give you the fact that overall it had a worse impact on the wrestling world, but the Benoit incident caused the WWE to more seriously enforce their drug policy, as well as made people more aware of the seriousness of concussions and their effects on the brain. And that applies to all sports. Not saying you're wrong, because I defiantly see your points but I'd just figure I'd toss my 2 cents out too

-Having Regal cut off the last few minutes of RAW was not brilliant writing at all and if TNA did this everybody would be screaming about wanting to murder Vince Russo Ya, people were pretty split on this one. Half were furious, and half loved it I don't wanna sound like an ass, but you don't honestly think Vickie Guerrero had anything to do with CW dropping SD do you? No, I'd imagine he'd be a successful business man in some other area of life, possibly entertainment. If it weren't for his dad I don't see why Shane would ever get involved with wrestling Ya, Vince really did just speed up the inevitable. No disagreement here Also agree, they just have to be a little smarter about what matches they give away for free. TNA is especially bad for this such as Angle/Sting's 1st ever singles, and stuff like that

I'm just saying I feel the positives that came out of the Benoit incident had a bigger impact on the wrestling world, atleast in N. America then the negatives of the Brody murder That being said, both were horrible horrible tragedies.

That is true, Muskrat. You've actually altered my opinion.
-Benoit=Bigger impact
Brody=Worse impact

Alright, here is another I am a little afraid to post but, just want to so its off my chest.
Honoring Chris Benoit, no matter how you do it, lessens the impact of his crimes. The man killed two innocent people and to say I still love Benoit the wrestler, is a slap in the face to Nancy Benoit's family and friends. By doing this, you are pushing his actions to the back and saying that his wrestling is more important than the people he killed.
Now, if you can watch his matches and still be entertained, more power to you. I have no problem with that, I can still watch games and movies with OJ (yes, I know he wasn't convicted but, that is still a cloud over his head). However to say that you will only remember him for wrestling, cheapens the lives of those he killed and his actions, IMO of course.

-Benoit=Bigger impact Brody=Worse impact Now this, I agree with wholeheartedly because nothing good came out of the Brody incident. Benoit, the best I can think of to compare to is Dale Earnhardt dying. Obviously, 2 different situations, but both were tragic, rocked a "sport" to it's very core and led to major reforms regarding the safety of those who take part in the sport

Two decades ago, even if altered to fit the times, DX, Stone Cold, and even the Rock as a face would have been heels.
