I just find weird that almost all the diva themes with lyrics have to do with having boyfriends or something. Like the the only diva theme i can think of that isn't about Being Insatiable and needing more Boyfriends or something similar is like Trish's.

Beth's doesn't have any lyrics. Actually neither did Sable's.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
I misread that as "You're Not The Boss Of Me" and wondered how great it would have been if Laycool had used the Malcolm in the Middle theme song as their own.

Victoria's theme was about how she wasn't the lady to mess with.

Well, it was crap, but it wasn't about being hot or having a boyfriend or some crap. But what do you expect from most themes when the division's belt is a demeaning pink butterfly?

I thought Lita's theme was by The Used for a long time but then I learned that there was a million crappy bands that sounded exactly like that.

I dont think it had an obvious thread title. I think it was probably titled Summerfest because of that Guest GM flubbing their lines.

The Idiot King moved the thread from PSP and started banning and probating PSP posters in it. This caused a big problem and that Idiot King was perma'd I think. I dont think it was the only thread he did it with either.

I feel like she had one match during that awful gimmick where the announcers were moaning the entire time about how bad it stunk at ringside because Natalya just kept farting. Tell me if I made that up.

Haha that reminds me, I emailed the guy about doing some design work for that project. He got back to me, said he was interested and would send me some NDA forms to sign... but he never did.

How weird, I just read through this again yesterday when I stumbled across it while trying to find the Summerslam thread (which ended up being gassed after being moved to FYAD). The videos were taken down long ago, unfortunately, and I don't think I kept copies on my hard-drive.

Andre had a gargantuan skull and hands, if you stood him next to a guy of comparable height but normal proportions like Big Show, Andre would still look more like a giant.

Andre and Big Show both had / have acromegaly, but Andre never had surgery to correct the condition, which is why his features were so exaggerated. I'm pretty sure Big Show had surgery done on his pituitary gland when he was 19 or 20 to stop the progression of the acromegaly.

Nothing's come of it. They posted a trailer in February and the official Twitter account hasn't been updated in about as long.

Until I half randomly came across their respective Wiki articles today I was under the mistaken impression that Rick and Sherri Martel were siblings.

Was there some sort of kayfabe marriage or other link between them or was their usage of the same ringname simply coincidental?

I generally don't keep them because I still have the original shows they came from, and as neat as the compilations are they tend to take up a fair amount of space v:shobon:v

They are fun to do though, I should do another some time (or you should, or somebody should!)

According to Wikipedia Moolah gave Sherri the Martel surname and sent her to Japan in 1981 by which time Rick was already in the WWF. Whether Moolah took the the name from Rick or elsewhere, it seems like the two were never meant to be relatives or spouses.

Probably hated it because it wasnt his choice and that it was as he quoted "The Randy Orton opponent" story that he thought was almost as bad as just being Cena's tv opponent before The Miz.

AoaA for the HHH/Angle/Stephanie love triangle could be fun. I just got finished watching all of these old episodes, and the storyline pretty much starts right when Angle debuts in WWF. It's impressive.

What I found odd about that was that he was listed as being The Nexus leader even at MITB on his chyron, and there was literally no fallout from his basically abandoning the group that I can recall. I know the WWE eschews continuity, but that was pretty fresh in peoples' minds at the time. This is made doubly odd by the way he a)Became their leader and b)Initiated people into the group.
