So, a tag chamber match.

So isn't that just a War-Games match? Start with 1 of each team in the match with the partners in the cells, and then you just do a loving War Games.

There are only so many buildings they can run an Elimination Chamber in. Pretty much if there is a giant screen at the top of the arena they can't use it for EC anymore.

Exactly this. I love the guy, but rather than seeing him put on a handful of matches a year then spend the rest of it on the shelf, I'd much rather know he's not killing himself for our entertainment.

The fact he's on the Tough Enough panel may give him the itch to train talent knowing that his body is giving up on him and he will likely not be given big chances in the ring anymore. Send him to the Performance Centre to coach the guys there and make the most of his talents in that way.

So I'm reading Shawn Michael's most recent book, the one about his Christianity.

The most intreguing part so far is surrounding Eddie's death. They're trying to plan the tribute Raw, and Vince wants to do some kind of prayer for the boys backstage But he tells Shawn that "I talk to God in my own way" and wants Shawn to lead it. He is sure to re-iterate "I pray my own way"

I wonder what the hell a Vince McMahon prayer is, that he has to be so secretive about it.

I want a tell-all book about Vince so bad.

He basically acknowledged that there's an equally likely chance that he heals as there is he's wrestled his last match, and that the only thing he was sure of is the belt deserves defended in front of the fans, so he left it in-ring and walked out. None of the fans know how severe the injury is, it could be neck-related again or it could be concussion-related, or something completely different.

I'm afraid since they didn't mention what the injury was that he's finally too scrambled from concussions to wrestle. That would be a bad thing to admit during a concussions lawsuit.

The theory I heard put forward by realposters in the GDT is that if it weren't concussion-related he would have probably specified just what the injury is, what with the trial going on and poo poo.

Concussions have take Benoit from me and deprived me of many years of watching Sterling James Keenan/Corey Graves and Daniel Bryan Danielson wrestle six star matches in front of 70,000 screaming hulkamaniacs, brother.

I hate concussions. We should start a letter writing campaign against them or something.

Dave's theory on the PPV: they're not happy with the network numbers. What's the best way to boost network numbers? Have a PPV that starts at 8PM on May 31, ends at 11PM, and hope that people who watched it and were going to cancel don't remember to before midnight. Starting it at 9 and ending at 12:15 would be too carny.

You can cancel whenever you want though, you'll always retain access for the month you paid for. I always "cancel" the auto-renew whenever I'm subscribed.

The 'jelly' effect is because digital camera sensors, when filming video or using an electronic shutter for stills, read the scene a line at a time. If the camera is shaking, or the scene it is filming is moving, the top and bottom of the image will move at very slightly different times, making the perspective wobble. It gets more pronounced the closer your subject is and the further the background is. Vertical shooting also makes the wobble more apparent as you've got more time, looking from top to bottom, to notice the irratic, delayed movement.

So really, she got just about everything wrong. No wonder they fired her.
