2. Goldust's appearance definitely seemed to go over well with everyone. Like it was a huge thing, as if it were... say... Stone Cold randomly showing up (k, maybe not THAT big, but still). I really hope they let him feud with his brother, that'd be fun to watch. (Didn't they already feud though?)

The reason the Godfather got eliminated so quickly is because he's been retired for a few years and was probably in no shape to do anything in the ring. I read awhile back that he owns a strip club in Vegas and that's all he does now. The WWE paid him to show and he probably thought it would be something fun to do even though he only lasted a few seconds.

Cody and Goldust have never feuded. A couple years ago they had an encounter during a segament on Smackdown. But it wasn't Goldust, he came out to talk to Cody as himself but nothing else came of it. So the rivalry would be fresh if it were to happen.

This is actually the second time they've done that to the poor guy. I remember around the end of the Invasion they teamed him up with Scotty II Hotty and started calling him the "Hip-Hop Hippo". And it lasted until Wrestlemania X8.

Yeah and it absolutely sucked then to. Of course anything with Scotty 2 Hotty sucked. The only reason he got over was because everyone loved Rikishi so much and he was buddies with him on screen. Same goes for Lawler's kid.

Albert should've never been brought back with the whole Japanese gimmick. If he was actually Japanese and not fat, bald and white it could've worked. They should've just brought him back as A-Trian which was the best of all his characters from his first run in the WWE. They could've still acknowledged his time in Japan and tweaked his character a little to incorporate what he learned during his time there. The "Albert" chants wouldn't have been an issue and possibly never would've happened in the first place.

It doesn't matter anymore now since he fucked himself over when he sandbagged Ryback a few months ago when he went all dead weight and didn't give him any help when Ryback was trying to get him up for his finisher. That's why he's back to doing comedy again.

I remember A-Train actually having some decent matches in the WWE in 2002/2003 and showing some good wrestling skills. I remember his match with the Undertaker at Summerslam 2003 being surprisingly good.

I'm sure he'll get "future endevored" soon. Too bad, but as long as he got some $$$ I'm sure he'll go back overseas and make a decent career a bit richer.

E60: The Scott Hall Story

For anyone that didn't see the ESPN thing about Scott Hall.

Just watched it. I knew he was in bad shape, but holy shit.

Caught the last 45 minutes of Impact last night....
TNA NEEDS to do big arenas all the time, it helps so much.
