What?
“[I] figured out the Shawn O'Haire character. It's the inner voice talking to you, ie Brad Pitt from Fight Club.”
-Bill M

What?
“[Raw was] Another tired, boring, predictable two hours of TV that wasn't worthy of the heavy praise It was given.”
-Chad R

What?
“Raw Theme Plays – I invented a dance to accompany it. It's similar to the "Chicken Dance" except that at the end instead of clapping – you throw up and change the channel.”
-James Guttman, the Torch.

WHAT?!?
“Although Bagwell is an ego-centric malcontent, I would rather see him in a WWE ring than Shane Helms.”
-Omar G

What?
“Is there any doubt that if Austin had had Triple H's spot this year that Raw and business in general would have gotten this bad?”
-Mat V

What?
“I would like to hit a quick note on the Orange Goblin, as it seems the Hulkamorons have been let out of their cages for their bi-annual internet allowance”
-Scott Keith, who must be consulted before any wrestling fan is allowed to enjoy any particular wrestler.

What?
“Hogan cannot be both a midcard player and a positive force for buyrates. If you're going to be a midcarder, fine, but you're a midcarder and thus people aren't buying the shows to see you.”
-Scott Keith, who apparently never bought a show to see Chris Benoit. (In case you missed the irony, Keith loves Benoit. Benoit is a perennial Midcarder. Keith no doubt buys shows just to see Benoit. Keith is a hypocrite.)

What?
“This is of course a touchy subject among those in permanent denial about Hogan, so if my views on his return offend you, blow me.”
-Scott Keith, using his forum to solicit homosexual sex.

What?
“They try to do a beatdown, but Steiner chases them off with a lead pipe. They really don’t get the whole Horsemen concept, do they?”
-Scott Keith, who has apparently decided that any four guys in a Faction are automatically the Horsemen.

And now, for the Smark of the Week award…. Drum roll please….

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?
“"So all of a sudden you've got Rock out there saying 'You know, if you don't want to be here, then get the F out.' … I thought that was one of the biggest chickenshit things I'd ever seen done to me, so far in this business, for him to go out and call me out. That's how he pays me back? That was pathetic."
-Stone Cold Steve Austin. Hey Steve, if the Rock is “chickenshit”, what would you call a guy who slaps around his diminutive wife? Oh, yeah, you’d probably call him “The toughest S.O.B. in the business.”

The Geek Corner:
re: Black Superheros on RAW: There are tons of black superheros. The fact that nobody mentioned “Spawn” just about slays me; Spawn was only the most popular superhero of the 90s.

Other great black superheros:
The Black Panther (Christopher Priest version)
Steel
Falcon
Powerman
Goliath III
Blade
Nick Fury, circa Ultimates
STORM. She's only the second most popular member of the most popular superteam of the last decade.
...and that's just on the Marvel side. I don't read D.C., so one of my faithful readers will have to come to our rescue in that area.

That’s it for this week, folks! Keep on Smarkin'!
