  1. So many questions.

    Anyone else get the feeling during the “main event” that this is exactly the kind of match Beavis and Butt-head would have?

    Back in the day we had shark cages. Now we get aquariums. Will the aquarium be filled with piranhas next time around?

    So… Five and three quarters stars?

    By the way, why did Barry Windham dress like Sting again?
