Benoit won! From the rumors hes jumping to Raw, so I'm sure he'll be choosing to go after the Triple H World Title...

Yep, I watched RAW tonight and sure enough Benoit came out when Triple H and HBK were in the ring. I'm looking forward to this. Benoit is as tough as they come pound for pound. Wasn't he the first wrestler to enter the ring for the Royal Rumble last night?

Yeah - I was pretty psyched to see Benoit on Raw. Now I don't have to bother with Smackdown anymore. Benoit was the first to enter the Rumble. The only other person to do that and win was Shawn Michaels. I hope he doesn't get buried like every other guy that HHH beats. I think Benoit is long overdue for a title. It was great to hear the crowd chanting his name. I was worried he might not get a great reception.

I had a great time at the Mid-Atlantic Legends Convention last weekend. Got to meet many of my childhood heroes including several of the original Horsemen. I had pictures taken with several of the guys and hopefully I'll get those back this week. Almost all of the wrestlers were complete gentlemen and seemed genuinely glad at the turnout for the event which ended up much larger than anticipated. The downside was that led to long lines and crowded rooms, but other than that, it was great fun!

I uploaded a few of my Mid-Atlantic Legends Convention photos into my Yahoo! photo album. Unfortunately, most of my pictures did not turn out well. I could tell the battery in my camera was struggling whenever the film advanced, so most pictures that I took from any sort of distance ended up way too dark. Most upsetting is I had a picture with Dory Funk Jr. that I took in a big glass sunroom. Unfortunately it ended up as two silohuettes (sp?) against a bright background. I am really bummed that picture didn't turn out. Anyway, you can check out a few in my album. Also, my old Celebration II pictures are in there too, so if you haven't seen those, you can check those out also.

so, how was Buddy Landell. I heard that he got kicked out because of being a dip.

Long live V.1. The only man to give Zach Gowen a clean win on national TV, thereby burying him further than any other wreslter in history. We'll miss you funny man

He was definitely a dip. He stayed drunk most of the time. He was asked to leave the autograph area by the promoter because the rest of the wrestlers were sick of his crap. Unfortunately he did that literally as I was setting my program down to be signed. He was pretty crude to some guests and their wives and walked out on a bar tab at the hotel. Some other stuff went on also involving thrown beer bottles, a trip to his room with a couple of women and a video camera (and neither of those women were his wife), and the authorities before it was all done. He really made an @ss of himself.

That's so sad. He was even saying the Rock stole the People's Elbow from him. He had nothing good to say about anyone. Check out www.getinthering.tv for an interview they did with him before the alcohol.

Apparently Landel had a problem with Arn for something Arn said about him in his book. It's been several years since I've read that book, so I can't remember what he said. Either way, it amazes me how long some of these wrestlers hold grudges and the reasons for it.

Brock Lesnar to Quit WWE after WM

According to PWInsider, he had a long talk with Vince and then, before the weekly SD meeting, he announced that he was burnt out from everything involved in wrestling and that it's no longer for him, so he's quitting the business and, get this, going to try out for the NFL.

Wow. Smackdown definitely needs to acquire Edge now and then at least another name heel. That's a huge blow to their roster considering their recent loss of Benoit also.

Edge is not coming back heel. Trips wants to take a run at someone with some credibility, while HBK and Benoit re-enact the Montreal Screwjob in Edmonton next month.

Screw HHH. The entire balance of two shows just became completely out of whack. If Edge is put on Raw just to make HHH look good, then an entire half of the WWE locker room will flip out and Vinnie Mac will be shown to be totally out of touch with his company's needs. They either need to send Edge to SD (not as a heel, I meant they need Edge and at least one name heel to replace Benoit and Lesnar) or either ship over RVD perhaps. There's a huge void there now and Big Slow ain't fillin' it, no matter how big he is. The thing that sucks about sending people like RVD, Booker T, or Steiner over to SD is that they've all been squashed by HHH. If they go to SD and suddenly becomes big players over there, it reflects poorly on the entire SD roster because it looks like wrestlers that couldn't win anything on Raw can win on SD.
