As for Dibiase, I went to the Cary Assembly of God with a friend of mine that plays piano there to hear Dibiases' evangelical spiel.

It is really sad to see someone go from a legitmate con game like pro wrestling to becoming a real fraud.

I think Raw is building up a legitimate group of female wrestlers. To be honest, you have Stratus who is alright, but then you've got Victoria and Jazz who I think are real excellent athletes and not really vixens. Gail Kim looks to be of the same stature of them. I just wish the crowd would allow the women to become wrestlers and not merely eye candy that you see on Smackdown!. [/B][/QUOTE]

One of the things which is annoying me the most. Is how the women are working their asses off, to become better wrestlers. When their out there doing their best to put on a good match. Lawler is constantly acting like an idiot and yelling puppies. How can they expect fans to take the women seriously when the announcers don't.

BINGO! Personally, I think the role Lawler plays is annoying and disruptive. I don't think Ross is much better. Lawler is all, "Well he deserved to get hit with that anvil." and "Man I want to *bleep* her ass." while Ross is all "How could he drop an anvil on that guy? Does he have a soul?" and "I'm a happily married man."

The best women don't have the big breasts or perfect legs Lawler is always yakking about. Kim, Victoria, and Jazz have athletic bodies (bodies which I admire the most), so you don't hear much about their "puppies".

The one thing that really pissed me off was the "big butt" deal they did with Molly Holly. Heel or not, they were only worsening the state of women in wrestling, by promoting such trash.

There are no more Gordon Solies.

JR doesn't know how to put someone over without going off the deep end, and Lawler's squealing pig routine just makes me want to change the channel. That was old when dirt was new. He and his wife could have stayed retired and it would have suited me. Put JR and Lawler together and you've got a good reason to see what's on Discovery.

I miss understated and informed commentary that's entertaining but doesn't take away attention from the ring. In that respect I always liked Michael Hayes at ringside.
