All I’ll say is; after skipping one PPV and witnessing two sucky ones, Vengeance finally delivered and gave me reason to sit through the whole thing as opposed to passing out. Nice to see Benoit (who is the reigning WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION) finally get the main event slot, even if he had to share the spotlight with McSon-In-Law and the [mentally challenged fellow] in order to get the deed done.

On a sidenote, I was browsing WWE.com the other day and came across this tidbit from their latest column of In the Know – part of WWE.com’s Backdoor section – regarding our current WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield.

JBL was once paid $3 to wrestle for Iceman King Parson. Iceman also told JBL to never go to WWE. Obviously not good advice.

Yeah, they got a point. If I were Iceman King Parson, I would have told Bradshaw to retire so Smackdown would have a decent champ. I’d take Undertaker over fucking Bradshaw.

But what do I care? I don’t watch Smackdown.

Welcome to the Weekly Round-Up. We talk Euro 2004, RAW, and some comic stuff. Let’s get into it.

What a piece of crap yesterday’s Smackdown was. WWE champion Bradshaw doesn’t make it any better. Now I’m not going to sit here and discuss how that move is so wrong in many different ways because it just isn’t worth it.

Looks like it’ll be Portugal and Greece this coming Sunday in the finals of the Euro 2004 tourney. The opener is also the finals. You have to give props to both teams, as expectations were against them and they’ve surpassed all other teams to make it to the top spot and compete for the championship.

Spider-Man 2 is out for some time now. Haven’t heard much about it, but from what I’ve read, it’s better than the first… so it can only be a superb-er-er flick.

Later…

Great American Bash didn’t fail to disappoint. It had all the endearing qualities and quantity of stupid and illogic that had made WCW pay-per-views what they were in the day. Good lord, what stupidities have happened on this show? Oh, where to begin?

– Bradshaw is the new WWE heavyweight champion. As if Smackdown wasn’t bad enough…

– You’d have to wonder Percy Pringle’s face when he signed on to return as Paul Bearer. “Okay, Purse. You’ll show up at Mania, take two months off, show up again, get kidnapped, and be buried in SEE-MEANT by Mark.” Dang.

– I would have been more content if the card was just the U.S. title match (good one), the Cruiserweight title match (Rey/Chavo delivers whether you want to admit it or not), the SEE-MEANT crypt match with Taker ‘killing’ Bearer, and the bag of shit that was the WWE World title match. Instead, they added these jobber matches that aren’t even suited for Sunday Night Heat. And do we really need another Sable/Torrie match?

– Chicks in bikinis… yep, the illusion is shattered. This is a WWE pay-per-view.

What a crappy PPV. It’s almost sad that just a short couple years ago, THIS was the superior show.

Anyway, that’s it. Hope everyone has a Happy Canada/Independence Day…
