Earlier tonight on RAW: - "Hello, ladies!" Val Venis reprised his old-school gimmick of letting some hot chick from ringside pull off his towel. He got beat up by Kane afterwards. - Nearly four months of developing a supposed love triangle resulted in a disgruntled Y2J and a heel Trish Stratus. This makes no sense at all. Wait a minute - it didn't make sense in the first place! - Another beatdown on La Resistance by Stone Cold. Yawn. - The Miss Jackie/Stacy Keibler cat fight was interrupted by Vinnie Mac, who announced that WresleMania was the beginning of an all-new WWE. Next week, Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown! will be on RAW for a special lottery to determine their fates.

Well, next month's PPV, Backlash will be in Edmonton, Alberta. The main event has already been planned to be Benoit vs. HHH. But will Benoit walk into his home turf as champion? He most likely will, but the worst case scenario would be that he will lose the title to HHH within the five episodes of RAW before the PPV, and he'll be chasing the title again.

Evolution won merely because Orton is sucking up to HHH. Undertaker is going back to SmackDown! while Kane stays on RAW.

between $300 and $500.

Keep your 50 bucks. Someone else here needs it.

From Robotech Pty Ltd.'s Homepage (http://www.robotech.com.au/): Tell me this: if HG had the copyright for the name Robotech until 1992, why didn't they sue these guys?

As for HG selling Mari Iijima's CD, no one really knows why this happened. Especially since Mari-chan has absolutely nothing to do with Robotech.

Forgot to mention that WWE officially announced today that WresleMania 21 will take place next year at the Staples Center here in Los Angeles, CA. At all costs, I will get front row seats along with the TOPWRESTLING.com crew.

Official word from WWE.com:

Okay, so maybe I made a mistake on the thread title, BUT WHO GIVES A RAT'S ASS?!? Get a life, Ali! You got better things to do than harassing me on my mistakes.

Been here since late 2001.

Ladies and gentleman, today was a good day in the world of professional wrestling. WrestleMania XX had some good matches and some bad matches, but in the end, nothing was more satisfying than seeing Triple-H tap out. WWE WrestleMania XX Results WWE U.S. Championship John Cena destroyed Big Show with the F-U to become the new U.S. Champion. WWE RAW Tag Team Championship - Fatal Four-Way Rob Van Dam & Booker T. successfully retained the titles after RVD destroyed Renee Dupree with the Five-Star Frog Splash. Christian rolled up Chris Jericho for the pin after Trish Stratus hit Y2J. Evolution def. the Rock & Sock Connection after Randy Orton did an RKO on Mick Foley. Playboy Evening Gown Match Sable & Torrie Wilson def. Stacy Keibler & Miss Jackie WWE Cruiserweight Championship Open Chavo Guerrero won the Open after pinning Rey Mysterio. Highlight of the match was Ultimo Dragon slipping at the TitanTron ramp and slipping again on the turnbuckles. Ego vs. Ego I don't know with you guys, but the Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg match sucked ass. Too many blown spots resulted in chants of "BORING!" and "THIS MATCH SUCKS!" from the crowd. In the end, Goldberg speared and jackhammered Lesnar for the pin. After the match, when Lesnar got up, the crowd chanted, "NA-NA-NA-NA, HEY-HEY, GOODBYE!" Lesnar responded with two fingers at the crowd, then at Austin. He got a Stunner for his troubles. Then Austin and Goldberg celebrated in the ring with the usual beer swigs before Austin gave Goldberg a Stunner. WWE SmackDown! Tag Team Championship - Fatal Four-Way Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi successfully retained the titles after Rikishi sat on one of the Bashams. WWE Women's Championship - Hair vs. Title Victoria landed a quick slide pin on Molly Holly. After the match, Molly tried to run away, but Victoria grabbed her and dragged her to the barber's chair. Molly knocked Victoria and put her on the chair, but before she could shave off Victoria's hair, Victoria sprayed some Aqua Net on Molly's face. She then knocked out Molly and tied her to the barber's chair. Molly was still being scalped when the next match began. WWE SmackDown! Championship Kurt Angle had Eddie Guerrero locked in the ankle lock, but Eddie used his lower body strength to pull Angle out of the ring. While the referee was counting Angle out, Eddie unlaced his left boot. When Angle went back in, he went for the ankle lock again, but Eddie pulled his foot out of his boot. A surprised angle found himself caught in a small package pin. Eddie retains the title. The Return of the Phenom After Kane made his entrance, the lights went out. Paul Bearer made his return with a group of torch-bearing druids behind him. The Undertaker made his much-awaited return. Though he was still wearing his biker getup, he had his old-school leather hat and trenchcoat. Taker finished off Kane with the Tombstone. World Heavyweight Championship - Triple-Threat Despite the overblown egos of Triple-H and Shawn Michaels, this match left everyone in suspense. Towards the end, HBK prepared to give Chris Benoit some Sweet Chin Music, but Benoit reversed it and threw HBK out of the ring. HHH attempted to give Benoit the Pedigree, but Benoit reversed it to a Crossface. HHH attempted to grab the ropes, but Benoit rolled him towards the center of the ring, tightening his grip until HHH did the unthinkable... ...he tapped out. Ladies and Gentlemen, Chris Benoit is your new World Heavyweight Champion!

SPOILER ALERT!!! Do not read further unless you've reached episode 23. Well, we're almost at the end of the series. Throughout the show, we found a lot of interesting revelations on the story and characters: - The "I-Jin" from the OAV series were actually created by the British Library. They were initially created to be candidates for Gentleman's new host body. - Junior is Nancy's illegitimate son. In the OAV, Nancy (known back then as "Miss Deep") had an affair with the I-Jin leader Ikkyu. She gave birth while being held at a mental institution. However, Joker took him away from her to make him the prime candidate for Gentleman's replacement. - Yomiko protested Joker's actions. He retaliated by showing her what was left of her former mentor and lover Donnie Nakajima. In the process, Yomiko lost control of herself and single-handedly destroyed the British Library. But we never saw this one coming: - Technically, the Paper Sisters (Anita King, Maggie Mui and Michelle Cheung) are sisters only by honor. But apparently, they actually are related to each other (and, to a certain extent, Yomiko Readman). Anita was actually another one of the British Library's experiments, where DNA of paper users was injected into normal people. During the library incident, the trauma caused by the ensuing mayhem prematurely triggered Anita's paper abilities. Shortly afterwards, she was abducted by Dokusensha spies and brought to China. Dokusensha then took Anita's DNA and injected it on a few other people. Before releasing them, Anita, Michelle and Maggie had their memories erased. But the question remains: what does the British Library want with Nenene?

Last-minute news before WrestleMania XX begins tonight:

From the Anime News Network: Apparently, Pokemon is too violent for kids.

Why so late, though?

Okay. Then explain why the World Wildlife Fund made a big fuss over the acronym WWF because some wrestling company was using it. Anyway, if it's a common word or name, no two companies can fight over it, as long as their businesses are completely different. You don't see Big O Tires suing Bandai and Sunrise for The Big O, do you? (Hell, they should use Big O himself as the company mascot and stand him next to the Michelin Man.) When Apple Computers first opened, they had to reach an agreement with Apple Records (owned by the remaining members of The Beatles) that they can use the name Apple as long as they don't involve themselves in any form of music. Well, Apple's in trouble with their iPod MP3 player and iTunes website. But the case is this: Robotech is a word originally created by Revell and owned by Harmony Gold. If someone forms a company or creates a product using a name that someone else made up and copyrighted - regardless of whether or not the products or companies are related, the creator of that name has the right to sue. One example is Sanka. For years, the company fought to keep their name because people in some places in the U.S. stopped using the word "coffee" and kept on referring to the beverage as "Sanka." Hormel is also going to the justice department to protect the "Spam" brand name from being used to describe unsolicited email. Bottom line is this: Robotech and Veritech are made-up words owned and copyrighted by a company. Why HG has not responded to the many companies and products that use the names Robotech and Veritech are beyond me.

This may be a bit off-topic, but I spotted this at a store: UVeritech Veritech Industrial, Ltd. Veritech Consulting Group The Veritech Corporation Veritech Australia Pty Ltd Veritech Energy Robotech Logistiksysteme Robotech Industries, Ltd. Robotech Center I wonder if these guys paid royalties to HG for using the Veritech and Robotech names...

SPOILER ALERT!!! Do not read further unless you've reached episode 21. Usagi-chan is more than depressed once she finds out that Mamoru is engaged to Hina. Mako-chan finds out that Mamoru is Tuxedo Mask and punches him, telling him to stay away from Sailor Moon. Later on, she goes to Ami-chan's apartment after realizing that she skipped school. She sees that Ami-chan is not feeling well, so she cooks her a meal and brings her to an amusement park. While riding a merry-go-round, Ami-chan passes out. Mako-chan and Motoki bring her to the hospital. A few hours later, Ami-chan disappears, leaving a trail of black rose petals. Mako-chan follows the trail until it stops at a park. She uses her ability to communicate with the trees to find Ami-chan's location. At an abandoned art studio, Mako-chan sees Kunzite with Ami-chan. She transforms into Sailor Jupiter and does battle with Kunzite. She tells Ami-chan to run away. But instead of doing so, Ami-chan walks towards Kunzite. Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars appear on the scene as Ami-chan does an evil smile on them. Sailor Jupiter: "What have you done to Ami-chan?!" Kunzite: "Show them." Ami: "DARK POWER! MAKE-UP!" Ami-chan transforms into a dark, evil version of Sailor Mercury.

I got mine last week. The Spider-Man 2 trailer looks impressive.

More than that...the Delorean on R is very uncharacteristic compared to the real thing. It actually corners like it's on rails! When I first used it, I managed to overtake every GT1 Class car on the Suzuka circuit without any changes to the car setup. It looks like a Delorean, but it don't drive like one.

Earlier tonight on SmackDown!: - Like anyone paid attention to the matches... - At the end of the show, Paul Heyman led majority of the roster to the ring entrance, using them as a blockade against Austin. Brock Lesnar then entered the ring on Austin's ATV. He then challenged Austin to come over. Austin's music hit before he drove his pickup at the entrance. He then walked towards the ring, where he was blocked by the wrestlers. Then, without warning, they backed up like Moses parted the Red Sea. Austin proceeded until he faced Big Show. They both had a staredown until Show pointed at Lesnar and told Austin to get him. All the SmackDown! wrestlers then left while Austin confronted Lesnar. The Rattlesnake then took back his ATV, but before leaving, he went back at ringside to exchange blows with Lesnar. During the melee, Austin rammed Lesnar's forehead against the ring post, busting him up wide open. Then in the ring, Lesnar caught him in the F-5, but Austin blocked it and attempted a Stunner. Lesnar avoided it and ran off. Afterwards, Austin packed up his ATV and did his usual beer swig.

That's exactly what Ivory said when she visited RVD's 5-Star Comics. I myself can't wait to meet Molly later this year.

Well, the game has it, but its stats are very peculiar. Max HP/Torque: 274bhp / 295 lb-ft Weight: 2491 lbs
