Match observations:

It seems even without the world title around his waist (for now), Chris Benoit
has some stroke, somehow managing to get a match booked pitting Kurt Angle,
Rob Van Dam and Dynamite Kid all against each other. Benoit was on commentary
belittling all three men whilst vowing to walk out of Revenge is Sweet with
the gold in tow. In the ring meanwhilst it was Kurt Angle who came out on top
and there is growing speculation that he might be the man to take it all in
three weeks time.

A number of other title hopefuls were in action today. Chris Jericho got a win
over Low Ki, then refused to break the Lion Tamer after the bell, sending a
message to all who watch him. Indeed, Jericho remains one of the heavy
favourites to take it all, and a guy like Low Ki is no pushover, even though
Jericho sometimes made it look otherwise.

Raven and Test were paired off to take on the Miracle Violence Connection but
Test left the match a few minutes in when Furnas, LaFon and Cena all came down
to battle with Test to the back. Thus, for the second week in a row, Raven was
up against both Steve Williams and Terry Gordy. Once again, after fighting
with every ounce of energy he had, he was able to pull out a very hard fought
win. If titles were awarded for effort, Raven may well be the next world
champion.

Raven also got involved in another match. Billy Kidman and Steve Corino may be
responsible for the title being held up (at least in part) but they're now
well up for taking the gold. After their IC tag title defense today, Bobby
Eaton ran down to try and get the jump on Billy Kidman, but just as it looked
like he was about to get a two on one beating, Raven came down and cleaned
house.

One more title contender that many people have overlooked is Lance Storm. He
got a win over Paul Roma which might not seem like much, even given the quick
and impressive nature of the victory, but Lance is a former Intercontinental
champion and one of the best at that, so who would care to bet against him.

Also challenging for gold at Revenge is Sweet is Dean Malenko. With the
Intercontinental title once again in his sights, he set about getting a victory
over Ken Shamrock in a very mat orientated match.

The cruiserweight title was on the line today as Kid Kash was set to defend
against two men - Juventud Guerrera and Alex Wright. Before the bell rang, Rey
Mysterio entered and challenged the champion to let him in the match too. Juvi
and Wright were dead set against it, but Kash was happy to let Rey have a crack
at the gold too. In the end, Rey inadvertently allowed Kash to retain the belt.
Kash had taking a tremendous beating, but when Juventud was hit the 619 from
Rey, he staggered back right into Kash who rolled him up for the win. Kash
left with the belt, while Juventud and Rey got into a shoving match, before
Alex Wright attacked Rey Mysterio with his whip and gave him a fair thrashing.
Let us not forget Wright is in line for the world title too right now...

Finally Christian got a win today, then announced he was accepting the
challenge from Phil LaFon, but not before noting that if LaFon tried any funny
business, refering specifically to his entourage, he would bring out his own
form of backup who would be present at Revenge is Sweet. Who could he be
refering to?

How old is the version of the Arena plugin you use? Because my version does not have any updated arenas! For example the arena in my city was closed and a new and bigger one opened up, but the old one is still in there and the new one is not. Plus it also lacks major Canadian stadiums such as SkyDome in Toronto.

Oh, and by the way, good card.

Where do you come up with the rediculous, yet funny names for your cards? (they crack me up)

Just edit the arena text file to add or delete arenas.

The arena plugin I use is several years old. To be honest, I didn't know there were different versions/updates of it. But it does have the Toronto Skydome in there, just the capacity is wrong (practically every arena has a 10,000 capacity).

As for the card names, I'm just coming up, for the televised shows I post on here (all three of them to date), with a subtitle as I post it based on the sort of stuff I've booked for that card. And thanks for the kind words.
