What was on that Raw in 2000 to get such a monster rating?

Go home show for Backlash and they were teasing Austin I think.....I know he was on Smackdown that week.

I know for sure he didn't appear on this RAW, but they for sure were teasing him because I believe it was the RAW before this that they announced he'd be at Backlash.

Yep, Slamboree, but there were far worse put out by WCW around this time, at least that match DDP and Jarrett to carry the wrestling side of it.

Always thought Melina could have been the Sunny of the 00's. She was so important to MNM's act, could talk, had the look, and was not too bad in the ring either. A very entertaining performer.

 

[Deezy]

Too bad Melina was a heat magnet and burned allot of bridges and pretty much ruined John Morrisons career as a result.

Morrison had hit a brick wall in WWE he was never going to be a headline for me.

That's you, hindsight is great when you have it, I remember EVERYBODY on the boards saying this guy is the future and he should be maineventing and so and so forth. I remember the guy getting a major spot in the Elimination Chamber, got a high profile match at Mania involving a celeb and was the number one contender at Extreme Rules......That brick wall was a pinched nerve in his neck and a girlfriend who was a heat magnet who killed any momentum the guy got, because he was a fiddle that got played hard.

Not everybody I didn't say it. Also, you don't know for sure than that's what happened with Melina. Its possible she was made a scapegoat, don't believe the dirtsheets isn't that what you tell others?

Everybody who worked with her and asked about her tells the same story, had so much heat Foley was trying to play UN and try defend her on WWE.com ffs.

Gossip is gossip, but when the story doesn't change narratives between people, it starts to take out any questions you have about it. 9 people out of 10 will tell you that 9/11 was Al Qaeda and that one person will say "inside job".......I'll stick with those 9 people thank you very much.
