* Dolph Ziggler vs. MVP for the United States Championship is announced for next week.

On smackdown? Fuck sake, the draft was fucking pointless then.

[Xero]

You expected otherwise?

[Londoner]

Yes,stupidly.

[DAMN iNATOR]

* Dolph Ziggler vs. MVP for the United States Championship is announced for next week.

On smackdown? Fuck sake, the draft was fucking pointless then.

Well, they had Melina vs. Beth for the Women's Championship last Monday, and I know the draft is supposed to take full effect on 4/27, on the RAW after Backlash, but I think this match will be a good measuring stick for Ziggler to find out just how much he has to put forth effort wise, to be worthy of something like the U.S. Championship. And who knows, by then, it may or may not be a "Backlash Rematch", if they do this match Sunday (I doubt they would, but it would make more sense than on the 5/1 SD!)

[Nicky Fives]

crap..... a Dolph push.... this is not cool

[The Fonz]

I didn't know Noid got a job at WWE.

[Xero]

I hear Val Venis is being drafted to the RAW main event.

[Krimzon7]

And We will be watching stills of The Brian Kendrick's WWE Title win over HHH at a major house show on Superstars...

[7spike]

Why are people leaving "for a break" during the Gail vs. Maryse match? Huh?

Is it wrong that I want Shane dance his way off a cliff? I mean, if he's pissed, happy, turned-on, heel, face, whatever... he does the dance. I mean, I remember him coming out for his match wanting to kill Orton... but he danced his way out.

*dances like an idiot* I'm so angry!!! I want to kill you Orton!!! *dances*

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why are people leaving "for a break" during the Gail vs. Maryse match? Huh?

Meaning a piss break, OBV. Most folks come and watch only the bits of the sweaty guys, because unfortunately, whether anyone else would be this blunt or not, women in wrestling in the 21st Century are what women were to society in the 1st Century A.D.--considered to be second-rate, or just some lovely eye-candy but not much else. Now I do not agree at all with those who think this about women's wrestling, but that's the way it's going to be for the foreseeable future as far as my crystal ball can tell.

[Xero]

Women's wrestling can be great. Unfortunately, with the majority of the Divas being just that and talentless, it tends to lump the entire division in the "don't care" category because 75%+ of the Divas suck.

Haha, yeah. I got that it meant they went for a piss break... I was more asking why, but it seems you got to that too. I do agree with Xero that the roster is kinda talentless, but Gail and Maryse are some of the better ones. See, if take a break during a Candice match, I see where you're coming from.

[GD]

Read J.R's blog. The U.S title match will be the only exceptional interpromotional match after Backrash.

Mickie James and Beth Phoenix both have great talent too, and Melina, while decent isn't quite to their level yet.

[Volare]

Maryse is getting there too...dammit give her time!
