As the opening credits end, we go straight to the ring where "Unnecessarily
Evil" John Cena enters. Cena takes a moment to acknowledge the reception he's
getting, then climbs into the ring and takes a mic.

Cena: "Cut the music and listen up because the evil one has arrived to take
some names and create dark destruction all around. Now it's only natural that
the most evil man in all of wrestling should enter the King of the Ring,
because this is my event. Now my opponent today is one Bobby Eaton. Bobby
Eaton? Who the hell is that? I didn't want to take any risks though, so I
decided to put him out of focus for this match. I went to his house and took
with me a TV remote control exactly like the one he has, and whenever he sat
down to watch some television, I used my remote to change it to the hardcore
porno channel, that guy is so hot and bothered now, he's never going to be in
any shape to take me on. And then I heard that Earl Hebner was refereeing this
one. No way am I risking him screwing me over, so I went to his dressing room
before the match and snapped the elastic on his refereeing trousers, now he's
stuck backstage holding his pants up while we've got us some other guy taking
control of this match. And as a final precaution, I sent Eaton a note earlier
saying that his wife, his kids and his pet goldfish had been kidnapped, he's
spent all day so worried, he'll never have been preparing for me and I'll win
it easy. The guy doesn't even have a fish, that's how confused he'll be for
this one. So get out here Beaton or Eating or whatever the hell your name is,
because I'm about to get evil on your ass."

A rather angry looking Eaton comes out and we get underway.

Bobby Eaton vs "Unnecessarily Evil" John Cena (King of the Ring qualifier)

In our first King of the Ring qualifier, John Cena took it to Bobby Eaton
in the early stages. Cena went for the Eighth Deadly Sin, only for Eaton to
counter by landing on his feet and planting Cena with a spinebuster. Eaton
headed up and went for the Alabama Jam, but Cena moved out of the way. Both
men got to their feet and Cena was quicker, hitting Eaton with the Eighth
Deadly Sin this time around and scored the victory to qualify. *** 3/4

We go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Don Muraco, Jeff Hardy, dare I ask, are you here to compete in tonights
Royal Rumble."

Hardy: "You bet we are Michael. It's been too long since the great Jeff Hardy,
poet laureate, honcho of haiku and fantastic guy in general has held title gold
in the DWF, and with the big man at my side, we can't lose. I even wrote some
haiku especially for the occassion."

Muraco and Cole glance nervously at one another.

Hardy: "My hair is wild, green.
       Blowing in a wind tunnel
       New tag team champions."

Cole: "Champions has three syllables."

Hardy: "I only pronounced two of them, dummy."

Muraco: "And when we do become champions, commissioner Matt Hardy, you're going
to have to suck up your pride and realise I am the most domineering force that
has ever stepped foot inside a wrestling ring. I've proven in the last year
that I am practically unbeatable, and none of your great heroes can do a thing
about it. The legendary Jerry Lynn, where is he now? Lying in some hospital
bed, unable to move. Where is Raven these days? Sitting at home, set to spend
the next few months nursing his wounds. All this destruction is my doing and
if I have to go through EVERYONE until there's nobody left in the DWF, I will
get my title shot whether you like it, Matt, or not."

We switch to see Christian in the locker room area.

Christian: "Holy moly, what a draw."

Edge slides into shot.

Edge: "Good golly miss molly, have you seen the number we drew?"

Christian: "I sure have, surer than the Pope in a brothel."

Edge: "Geez little buddy, what's that supposed to mean?"

Christian: "I'm not sure big bro', I'm really not sure. What I am sure about
is that I've seen the number we drew. Tell me, did you draw the number or did
I?"

Edge: "Christian Christian fo Fistian, I'm afraid it was my digits that clasped
that piece of paper and pulled out right out of the hat."

Christian: "Wow, an actual hat?"

Edge: "You betcha, a panama."

Christian: "The man from Del Monte msut be pissed."

Edge: "So were the guys holding the hat, when I yanked our number out, I
dropped several more on the floor."

Christian: "Wow, bummer. But you know what they say."

Edge: "What's that? Money is the root of all evil?"

Christian: "No, to reach the top you have to start at the bottom."

Edge: "Wow, pretty corny expression."

Christian: "Now that you mention it... fancy a Quatro, my treat."

Edge: "Dude, they rule."

Edge and Christian walk off as we return to the ring.

Essa Rios vs Phil LaFon

Phil LaFon would make quick work of Essa Rios, hitting him with a powerbomb
and putting his feet on the ropes to score a quick win. ** Moving on...

We go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Kurt Angle, up next, your big match with Dynamite Kid, it will be a
ladder match and it is for the heavyweight title of the world."

Angle: "Geez Louise Cole, I know that already, are you sure you're not
Canadian or something?"

Cole: "Ummmm... no."

Angle: "Well you've got something else in you, that's for damn sure. But
Dynamite Kid, we all know what you've got in you, you've got some teeth
rotting, scone eating, help in the war needing British SCUM in you. I find it
dispicable that an all American organisation would ever want a limey like you
even working for them, let alone representing them as champion. But that's
where I step in. I know that in front of an American audience, everyone out
there will be cheering an Olympic hero like me on. Except for all the
immigrant who take advantage of our generous policies and are trying to steal
our jobs and make a mockery of this great country, but they don't count and
they can cheer a jerk like Dynamite Kid all they like, I don't care. But I
know I have the true fan support out there and I'm proud as punch. And what
prouder a moment that avenging my defeat at Wrestlefest when he used his cheap
British cockney tactics to win."

Cole: "He's not a cockney."

Angle: "Jesus, how Mexican are you? Seriously?"

Cole: "Ummm, well...not rea..."

Angle: "SHUT UP! I don't care, gringo, I just care about one thing - winning
what I deserve, the world title, right here in the good old U S of A and
proving once and for all that the United States is the greatest country of
them all."

Angle strides off as we get word that there was an incident in Matt Hardys
office moments ago - with cameras permanently set up there for such a purpose,
we go straight to a clip of what happened, with Matt Hardy sitting at his
desk. Unsurprisingly, Jody Fleisch barges in.

Fleisch: "Listen Hardy, first of all, get your damn detectives to stop bugging
my friends, I didn't do it."

Hardy: "Ahhh Jody, so nice to see you. Which detectives would these be?"

Fleisch: "Those two idiots the Young Lions, thinking they can actually solve
mysteries, this isn't Scooby Doo you know."

The door which Fleisch just threw open falls shut, at which point we see the
Lions standing behind.

Matthews: "Hey Officer York, here's a mystery, who's the biggest loser of all
whom we will get all the evidence we need to show up?"

York: "JODY FLEISCH! And Inspector Joey, here's another mystery, which team is
going to win the tag team titles tonight?"

Matthews: "YOUNG LIONS!"

The two do a slow motion high five as Fleisch rolls his eyes.

Fleisch: "And that's another thing, what have you got set for me tonight? I
want a competent tag team partner, not some reject from the S.D. Jones school
of losing.

Hardy: "Relax, don't talk that way about Barry like that."

Fleisch: "WHAT?!?"

Hardy: "I'm kidding. No, I've got you a much better partner than that. How
would you like a man who has had multiple title reigns in the DWF?"

Fleisch: "Well... that sounds more like it."

Hardy: "Someone who has made an impact in the DWF, headlined Pay Per Views,
beaten some of the biggest names in this business."

Fleisch: "Yeah, are you going to give it to me, or are you going to weasel out
of it and book some other crap instead of giving the fans a chance to see what
they want for once?"

Hardy: "Yeah, I'll give you this individual. But I should warn you, it's not
what you'll be expecting."

Fleisch: "Yeah, well don't screw me over, and afterwards, when we hold the tag
team titles, I'll give you some lessons on how you SHOULD be running this
company."

Hardy: "I look forward to it, now get the hell out of my office before I drop
a cinder block on your head too."

Fleisch sneers at Hardy and makes his exit.

Hardy: "Hey boys..."

The Lions turn to Hardy.

Hardy: "I've got another mystery for you, go find out who stole my lunch would
you?"

Matthews: "We're on the case."

The Lions bound out as we return to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Dynamite Kid, coming up, your first title defense against the man you
defeated at Wrestlefest, Kurt Angle."

Dynamite: "You know, this type of match is a different kettle of fish, you
can't beat a guy in a straight match and then expect it the same sort of thing
in a ladder match, but I'm the man with the ladder match experience and I'm
the man with the gold. You know, I worked hard for years to get where I am now,
and I didn't get what I want by losing it all in six days. And Angle, you can
say what you want about the fans, about America and about Britain. America is
a great country, but give these people credit, they know better than to cheer
a big mouthed whiner like you. My proudest day was winning the world title in
my home country, my second proudest moment will come here in the States beating
you to regain the title."

Dynamite Kid (c) vs Kurt Angle (world heavyweight title, ladder match)

The ladder match was a hard fought affair as Angle used the ladder not for
high flying moves, but as a weapon, hitting Dynamite with it and throwing it
at him and throwing him into it. Dynamite was game though, using his speed to
avoid the blows where possible and frequenting the high flying approach more.
Dynamite began taking control as Angle tired, but made the mistake of going
up on top of the ladder for a Swandive. Missing, he was down and out as Angle
went up and grabbed hold of the belt. Before he could pull it off the hook
though, Dynamite managed to get enough of his senses to push the ladder down,
sending Angle crashing to the mat, ladder on top of him. Both men clambered
to their feet and began climbing the ladder on opposite sides and began
slugging it out as they reaches the top. Angle began to take control but
Dynamite ducked a shot and caught Angle with a stiff haymaker, causing him to
lose his balance and get his leg caught between rungs. Dangling from one side,
Angle was unable to get back up and Dynamite captured the gold. ****

As Dynamite celebrates his win, the music changes and out walks Billy Kidman,
mic in hand.

Kidman: "Hold up a second there champ, not so fast. You see, you might have it
all right now, but ask yourself how long you think this is going to last,
because I can tell you that while you might be on top of the world now, when
you come crashing down, it'll be the biggest drop you ever take. See, my lawyer
Clarence Mason has flicked through the DWF rules and has exercised MY RIGHTS
to demand a title shot within thirty days of losing the title with a minimum
of two days notice. So I'm making the challenge now, I DEMAND a title shot,
two days from now, else I will have to take you to a court of law and force you
to either give me my title shot or hand the belt back to me, have your title
reign stricken from the record and you will never work in this company again,
what do you say to that?"

Dynamite Kid by now has a mic.

Dynamite: "Kidman, instead of boring everyone to death, you could have saved
your speech and just asked for a shot. You're right, you're entitled to ONE
title shot within thirty days of losing the belt, but if you don't win this,
I won't be accepting any more challenges from you if it means I never have to
listen to your rhetoric ever again."

Kidman doesn't look too pleased but continues.

Kidman: "Fine, you want to play like that, I only need one shot, and this time
you won't have home advantage and this time the result will be a little bit
different. As these people are my witnesses, I swear that I will once again
wear the heavyweight title of the world."

Dynamite: "Bring it on Dynamite, bring it on."

Dynamite signals to Kidman that he has the belt, Kidman signals back that he
intends to wear it, as Dynamites music hits up. The two stare each other down
as we go backstage to Michael Cole.

Cole: "Psychoanalysis, having come so close to the titles so many times before,
is this finally the day you take the gold."

O'Haire: "You know, there's a lot of teams in the DWF who have a lot of things
to say, covering up for their own insufficiencies. Pretty Perfect claim to be
Perfect in an attempt to claim faultlessness despite their failings to reclaim
what they held for so long. Los Guerreros pretend to lie, cheat, steal and
generally act unprofessionally because they couldn't get it done when they
tried to be honourable. And frankly, the Mean Street Posse claiming to be
demonic when they just plain suck is just pathetic. But all their attempts to
hide their infirmities and indiscretions don't make up for the fact that they
possess such faults and on this..."

O'Haire is interrupted suddenly as Pretty Perfect walk on.

Hennig: "Faultlessness? What the hell are you talking about, we're not
faultless, we're..."

Hart/Hennig: "PERFECT!"

Hart: "Hey, Pillman, haven't you got anything to say?"

Pillman: "I don't need to say anything, I can do all the talking I need in
the ring when we take the gold and I take your adams apple right out of your
throat."

Hennig: "Yeah sure, if O'Haire gets it done himself. He always gets the wins,
he always gets the interview time, he always gets the title shots, what have
you ever done for yourself?"

Pillman: "Ask me that again when you're choking on your own spleen."

Hart: "You know what Psychoanalysis, you're forever the team who comes runner
up, you're always coming up second best when you face us and whenever you get
remotely close to the titles.

O'Haire: "That's just one step away from victory, and you..."

Hart: "No, that makes you the first losers, that's all. You may be able to
talk crap about us, but there's no way you'll ever be..."

Hart/Hennig: "PERFECT!"

Pretty Perfect walk away confidently as Psychoanalysis look on as we hit the
ring for another King of the Ring qualifier. King Kanyon enters and takes the
mic.

Kanyon: "Greetings peasants of my kingdom. As your king, it is fitting that
one shalt be crowned as your King of the Ring this year, and as your king, I
shall ensure that..."

Kanyon quickly gets cut off by Chris Jerichos music.

Jericho: "King Kong, start of by shutting the hell up. There's only one man
in the DWF worthy of being king and he is the most spifferific man standing
in this aisle right now. But if you want to challenge the mogul of
magnificence, the potentate of positiveness and the sultan of superbness,
then bring it on King Canute because Y2J aint gonna take a back seat to
anyone."

Jericho enters the ring and we get underway.

Chris Jericho vs King Kanyon (King of the Ring qualifier)

In the second King of the Ring qualifying match, King Kanyon set out to achieve
perhaps his biggest ambition of all, and become King of the Ring. Chris
Jericho however had other ideas as he dominated the match, scoring with all of
his patented moves and lifting Kanyon up on two after the asai moonsault in
order to apply the Lion Tamer. Kanyon tapped and we have our second qualifier. ***

We go to pre-recorded comments from some of the teams participating in the
upcoming Rumble.

Eddie Guerrero: "Los Guerreros esse, the four of us go into the Royal Rumble
to win the tag team gold. They say cheaters never prosper, but I say they
never prosper but they always win. And after we cheat and steal our way through
the other eighteen teams, we will be tag team champions."

***

Terry Gordy: "You know, we won the big match on Monday night, we went through
three teams then, but tonight we're looking to go through nineteen of them to
get the job done."

Steve Williams: "We're the biggest team and the baddest team in there, but
tonight we're going to show everyone we're the best."

***

Lance Storm: "Me and Ken, we've done it all in the DWF, we're the current
Intercontinental tag team champions and we intend to regain the tag team titles
of the world."

Ken Shamrock: "There isn't a team in there we haven't beaten or couldn't beat
and on this night, there isn't any pair in this match who could match us."

***

Ricky Morton: "Wooh, Royal Rumble, you know we're rocking and rolling all night
long, but we're playing it cool because we are cool."

Robert Gibson: "That's right, we're going to hip hop over everyone and get
back those tag team titles because we're the best."

***

We go back live to Michael Cole with Kidman and Corino.

Cole: "Billy Kidman, we saw you earlier and you'll be challenging Dynamite Kid
for the world title on two days but tonight your focus has got to be on
winning the tag team titles."

Kidman: "Shut up Michael Cole, how dare you, uhhh... uhhh..."

Corino: "Imply that he might not have his focus on this match, suggesting he
cares more about himself that the team."

Kidman: "YEAH! Don't worry about the world title, that will be coming in due
course. Tonight, me and Steve have our sights set on the tag titles, you've
got me, the greatest world champion EVER! You've got Steve, the greatest TV
champion ever and the King of Old School in every way imaginable, there isn't
any chance that we can't take this tonight. And then Monday night..."

Corino: "We're going to have four times the gold. Put your house on it, bet
the kids on it, the golds coming home to us."

Tag Team Royal Rumble (for the vacant tag team titles)

Edge and Christian draw #1, Eddie and Chavo Classic draw #2 and the two teams engage in a little mini match with the Canadian pair winning that. The intervals are ninety seconds so pretty soon, team #3 enter - Low Ki and Kid Kash. They join in against the Guerreros, with E&C working over Chavo and Low Ki and Kash double teaming Eddie. Nobody goes out though by the time team #4 enter, and the Guerrero advantage is doubled as Hector and Mando join the fray. The match becomes an eight man now with the Guerreros using their brotherly partnerships to take advantage and almost send Low Ki out. The faces come back though with Edge taking Hector out with a hard spear and Low Ki hitting Mando with some stiff kicks, sending him through the ropes and to the floor. Kidman and Corino are #5 and instantly take control over everyone in there (though Hector and Mando are nowhere to be seen). In no time, Kidman and Corino are kings of the hill, and they ditch Kid Kash out of the equation. The others regroup as Dean Malenko and Larry Zbyszko are #6, apparently teaming up for this match for the sake of winning some gold for themselves. They actually make a nice team in there as they quickly go at it with Edge. Christian and Corino pair off while Kidman works over Chavo Classic. Eddie mingles where he can be bothered. Perhaps that costs him as Edge breaks away long enough to throw Chavo out of the equation, Eddie only realising a few moments later.

In the ring: Edge & Christian, Hector & Mando, Kidman & Corino, Malenko & Zbyszko

That's a bit misleading as Hector and Mando aren't in the ring, they're playing referee on the outside. Nobody seems to have caught on. The Syndicate are #7 and they tear in wherever. Lance Storm quickly reengages in his little feud with Corino and they slug it out. At this point, Dynamite Kid walks down the aisle, title belt over his shoulder and looking smug. He distracts Kidman and taunts him long enough for Storm to creep up behind and tip him out to a big pop, scoring a big elimination. Kidman, and Corino for that, look furious as Dynamite heads to the back with a big grin on his face. Rock'n'Roll Express are #8 as things settle again, Morton and Gibson quickly function as a team, hitting double team moves on Malenko and then Edge. The Japanese duo of Hayabusa and Tajiri are #9 and bring a similar style to the table as the Express, but with their lethal oriental technique. Zbyszko gets another big win in his streak of them as he dodges a Ken Shamrock charge and throws him out, ridding the Syndicate from the ring, only for Ricky Morton to come up behind Larry and get rid of him. Los Villanos, the occasionally seen jobber team of the DWF, draw #10, really making up the numbers. They play faces in peril for a bit as Hayabusa works them both over himself. The buzzer for #11 hits and out comes LA RESISTANCE - are Dupree and Grenier in the DWF? They make short work of Los Villanos, Dupree doing the honours on IV. Meanwhile we discover Hector and Mando have joined the Spanish announce team on commentary.

In the ring: Edge & Christian, Hector & Mando, Rock'n'Roll Express, Hayabusa & Tajiri, La Resistance

Trouble for EVERYONE as Don Muracos music hits up at #12 and the big man comes out, Jeff Hardy in tow. Don Muraco goes to work laying out everyone, with Jeff taking shots at everyone he's knocked down. Several men charge at him only for Muraco to shrug them off. Christian tries his luck only to be blocked, pressed up and dropped out to the floor, ending the iron man effort on the part of him and Edge. During all that, Sylvain Grenier eliminates another Muraco victim, Tajiri. The Pitbulls are #13 and the announcers immediately remind us of what happened in the World War III match last year when they double teamed Muraco and threw him out them. The Pitbulls take out Jeff Hardy first and then hit Muraco with a double clothesline, staggering him back. They hit a second, staggering him up against the ropes. They charge in a third time, only for Muraco to lay them both out with a double clothesline. Now the Rock'n'Roll Express come in and hit Muraco with a double dropkick but he's not going anywhere and takes them both down before they can hit another. The Miracle Violence Connection are #14 just as Muraco hurls out Gibson halfway down the aisle. The MVC wisely stay as far away from Muraco as possible and work over anyone else. Jody Fleisch enters at #15, but all by himself. He looks confused, but makes his way in nonetheless and does a pretty good job of remaining inconspicuous as he works over a Pitbull. The other Pitbull is in more trouble as Muraco plants him with a big powerslam and holds him down for a Jeff Hardy swanton bomb. At this point, some more music hits up and Jody Fleisch looks REALLY upset as it's Matt Hardy making his entrance. Matt slides in and embraces an embarassed looking Fleisch, apparently entering himself as his tag team partner before going to work on anyone who's in trouble - he REALLY wants to go to work on his brother but with Muraco there, that's not an option.

In the ring: Hector & Mando, La Resistance, Don Muraco & Jeff Hardy, The Pitbulls, MVC, Jody Fleisch & Matt Hardy

The buzzer for #16 goes and for a few seconds, nothing happens, until some familiar music hits up. Don Muraco spins round in shock and shakes his head in disbelief as Jerry Lynn and Raven appear from behind the curtain. The pair run to the ring as the Pitbulls jump Muraco from behind and tie him up. As Lynn and Raven get in, Matt grabs Jody Fleisch and whips him into them, before waving bye-bye to him and sliding out under the ropes. Fleisch gets a double chokeslam for his troubles, then is thrown out easily. La Resistance give it a go, jumping Lynn and Raven from behind and getting a few blows in before both get backdropped out. Now the big challenge awaits them. They hit Muraco with a big double clothesline, then another. Muraco staggers back towards the ropes as Lynn and Raven hit a third, and that sends Muraco out THROUGH the ropes. Not to be undone, they grab Jeff Hardy and hurl him like a javelin, over the top and onto Muraco. Then, nodding to each other, both climb to the top and hit a tope onto Muraco and Jeff, taking them out. As the two teams slug it out on the floor, the Young Lions are #17. Meanwhile Lynn and Raven work over Muraco and manage together to suplex him down. Jeff tries to crawl away but he doesn't get far and they drag him over to the Spanish announce table and chokeslam him through it, before they both rear back and catch Hector and Mando with a stiff punch, knocking them out of their headsets. Finally leaving, things settle down again as in the ring, the MVC are choking out a Pitbulls. Psychoanalysis are #18 and quickly make a big difference. The announcers bring up the fact that O'Haire set the all time endurance record this year in the regular Royal Rumble whilst Pillman was the only man not thrown over the top in 2005. The Mean Street Posse are #19 and spend most of the next minute and a half walking slowly down the aisle, showing off their "demonic" cloaks as the house lights are turned off with just one spotlight following the Posse and one on the ring. The pair stand by the ring and hold up a candelabra and signal that they're going to light it but O'Haire has gotten bored and reachesdown, grabbing Pete Gas by the hair and pulls him onto the apron and into the ring. Rodney goes in to defend his man so O'Haire responds by double clotheslining them both out, about five seconds after they got in. And surprise surprise, who else would get the perfect draw in the Rumble, Pretty Perfect draw #20.

In the ring: Hector & Mando, The Pitbulls, MVC, Young Lions, Psychoanalysis, Pretty Perfect

The MVC continue their working over the Pitbulls. Pretty Perfect help out and soon it's too much and Gordy is able to get rid of the Pitbulls. MVC and Pretty Perfect high five, only for Hennig to quickly turn on Gordy and throw him out. Psychoanalysis then lock up with Pretty Perfect to try and settle their long time rivalry. The Young Lions meanwhile have a mystery to solve - the whereabouts of Hector and Mando. They quickly find the Guerrero duo sitting at ringside having kicked WWF supernerds George and Adam out of their seats and stolen their popcorn. Sadly their cheating and stealing ends here as the Lions grab them and throw them back into the ring. Landing in the waiting arms of O'Haire, he punches both their faces in and dropkicks Mando out, sending us down to three. Whilst O'Haire finishes off the Guerreros, Pretty Perfect jump the Lions as they re-enter and Owen backdrops York out. So we're down to Pretty Perfect and Psychoanalysis one more time, just as we did in the tag team turmoil a few months back. It's Psychoanalysis that take the early advantage, as Pillman catches Owen with a shot from behind and O'Haire uses his size and power to dominate Hennig. Hennig however catches O'Haire charging in, lifts him up and crotches him on the top rope. O'Haire teeters a little, then falls back in, but the damage is done. Pretty Perfect take the chance to double team Brian Pillman and they beat him down with punches and then stomp on him. Pillman quickly assumes position on the bottom rope and clings on, preventing the former champs from lifting him up and out. Getting bored of him, they stomp him so hard that he slips out under the ropes and to the floor, before the heels go back to work on O'Haire. O'Haire isn't close enough to the ropes to try the same trick and Pretty Perfect can pick him up and begin trying to lift him up and out. O'Haire hangs on, so they pound on him a little more and lift him up one more time, but Pillman has recovered long enough to sneak up behind, grab Owen by the leg and tip him over to claim the tag team championship. *** ½

Hennig quickly ducks out rather than take any more licks as Psychoanalysis celebrate with the belts, having chased for so long to take them. Looking happier than ever, they embrace together with the gold as the show comes to a close.

I really enjoyed this show a lot.  You do humor exceedingly well, and I'm glad to ee that you're doing the humor in a way that isn't degrading to the product.  From some of your older stuff I've read, you book some great stuff, but a lot of time you will insult or cut down your product in match descriptions and such, and often times it really sours an entire show.  I honestly felt that was the one major fault of DWF before, so at last from my standpoint, it's great that events are taken more seriously now without you losing your knack for good comedy.

Cena and Jericho both qualify for the KotR, and I can't say I'm surprised.  Yahoo for both of them.

The interviews you did leading up to the Rumble were beautiful.  The Jeff Hardy haiku character is honestly one of the most brilliant things I've ever read in a circuit.  I so desperately want to steal it in the future, but I will restrain myself.  You've also done a wonderful job at making Don Muraco a fucking bad ass.  I usually don't like when circuits use wrestlers out of the generation the circuit is in, but you have made it very interesting to the point where it doesn't bug me.

A great World Title match that was only spoiled by the fact that with as many title changes as you've had recently, it was very very doubtful the title was going to change hands again.  Looking forward to Dynamite Kid/Billy Kidman II though.

The Rumble was a lot of fun.  You once again mixed in great comedy (Hector and Mando hiding the whole match) with great story-telling and emotion (the Pretty Perfect/Psychoanalysis saga) and the right team went over.  A superb effort all around.
HugeRockStar760Posted on 10/16/04 at 06:15:02

I don't think I've ever read a funnier circuit in my time using TNM and viewing forums.  (Well maybe that one circuit by Psickle or someone similar on the other forum.

I can actually picture Jeff Hardy doing that gimmick, too.  You might want to copyright your idea.  
TrancePosted on 10/16/04 at 07:20:45

off-topic question, but what do you use to determine the attendance, TV viewerships, ect?
