I'll say, I enjoyed the Spirit Squad. The gimmick was so unbelievably gay but it did entertain me.

Lance Storm should have a holiday, that only a small group of people who know who he is celebrate.

Blayze was damn fine in more than one way really carried that division almost like AJ now.

Happy Birthday Mr. Storm

She had Bull Nakano, Ripper Rhonda Singh(Bertha Faye) to make her look like a million bucks. Didn't do anything of merit outside if two matches with Akira Hokoto outside of the WWE bubble.
