Assembled were: Joey, Tony, Will, Sam and myself; quotes below attributed as possible.
[When Kid Kash came out] Joey: "Man, he looks a lot like Owen Hart."
[When Jamie Noble came out] Assorted: (in our worst exaggerated Southern drawls) "Where's my Nidia?"
[After the Cruiser match, when a distraught Kash was shown] "'Enough is enough, and it's time for a change.'"
[During Mickey James vs. Ashley] Me: "Mickey has man hands."
[During the Boogeyman vs. JBL match] Will: "They need to get a midget to pair up with the Boogeyman, and dress him like the Boogeyman, and call him Lil' Boogey."
[When the Royal Rumble started in the middle of the show] Assorted: "Why's the Rumble starting now?" Sam: "Doesn't the Rumble usually come at the end?" Me: "Who missed their flight?"
[During a sequence where Rey Misterio attacked Eugene] Me: "Mexicans hate retards."
[When Tatanka came out, we began hypothesizing who would be next, including Tugboat, Papa Shango, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Bruno Sammartino, Goldust, John Tenta, and the corpse of Gorilla Monsoon.]
[When Goldust came out] Will: "I called it!" Me: "So I can blame it on you, then."
[At some point Rey Misterio threw up in the ring, which I called to folks' attentions; following Triple H's elimination] Me: "And he landed in Rey Rey's chunks."
[When the catwalk descended for the Cena/Edge match] Joey: "When's the last time they had a scaffold match, the 80s?"
A quick assessment of how I did in the PPV Pick 'Em pool:
- I picked Mickie James to win, and she did.
- I picked Boogeyman to win, and he did.
- I picked Triple H to win the Rumble, with Misterio to runner-up. Missed that one ... BUT, I picked up the bonus "who gets thrown out first?" (Simon Dean)
- I picked Cena to win, and he did.
- And, I picked Angle to win, and he did.
- The Cruiser invitational wasn't included.
So, all in all, not a bad showing for this one. At least I beat Will ...

Did you write that post in Esperanto? Who the hell are Mickey James, Ashley and the Boogeyman? Why was the Rumble in the middle of the show? Are Tugboat, Shango, Duggan, Sammartino or Tenta in the WWE again? Was there a fucking scaffold match? How the hell can the WWE change that much since the last time I watched it? Where am I? Where's Ross Perot?
You need to watch Smackdown this friday and watch the Boogeyman. He is a Papa Shongo like character except he is 10 times freakier. He has his face painted red and black (thank Darth Maul but with a different paint scheme), he carries this wooden staff that spews red smoke, and he makes people eat real worms (yes, they are real because the camera has shown shots of them crawing in an unconscious Sylvan Granier's mouth). He has this weird lurchy walk and he breaks a clock over his head to start his entrance music. I don't know if he can wrestle, but he sure is one entertaining character.
Mickey James is this chick who apparently has some lesbianic crush on Trish Stratus. She used to wrestle as Alexis Laree in the indies.
Ashley is the chick who won that $25000 Diva Search contest, so they pretty much paid that much for tits, when they could have split that four ways and brought in some quality wrestlers. (Also, it's funny that the previous winner, Christy Hemme, is gone, but some of her loser co-competitors, like Maria & Candice, are still employed.)
The Rumble was apparently in the middle of the show because the Undertaker came out after the Angle/Henry main event and made an unverbal challenge for the title, and he used his Takermagic to make the ring collapse. And if he did that before the Rumble, that would have just made him a pain in the ass, instead of a goddamn magician.
Yes, Nate did beat me at the Rumble on PPV Pick'ems, but I am still beating you overall!!! Ha!!!!
