Have you ever tried to succeed at your job so hard, only to be past over for promotion? Worse yet, get demoted or moved to a less productive part of your company? If so, welcome to Melina's world. All that hard work she's been putting in, both in front of and behind the scenes, was for not. She's been taking off the "A" show, being Raw, and "drafted" to Smackdown. Everyone knows Smackdown is "Brand B" in the WWE. At least it wasn't to ECW. She'd really shed some tears then.

Speaking of ECW, I do not like the way Christian got his punk card pulled this past Tuesday. What the hell?!? I'm sorry, but Jack Swagger is a lackluster champion at best, even for ECW. In my mind, Swagger just plain sucks balls, and not Mahoney. Christian deserves a better platform for his talent. Even Smackdown would be a dramatic improvement. Yes, Christian IS too good for ECW. Sorry Dreamer, but it's true.

Most don't agree with me on this, but I love the way Miz turned on Morrison. Yes, I've ragged on the Miz from day one; but like an unsightly genital rash, he's grown on me. Don't get me wrong, I loved Miz and Morrison together. I know that there's a few that feel they were separated because of their rising popularity. Some claim they were gaining DX status. Well, they are probably right on both counts. WWE politics can be a royal bitch sometimes, but certain people just got the stroke man. It stinks like ass, I agree; but that's life.

You really think Taz will show up in TNA? Wouldn't that be great? We could have Taz, Stevie Richards, Balls Mahoney, and maybe even eventually Rob Van Dam. Nah, that could never happen. We could never see another ECW Originals reunion in TNA.... could we? Well, we could, and we might.

I've been asked about the unified tag titles, and why the world titles haven't followed suit. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the logic of unifying the tag titles, while keeping three major (word used loosely) world titles. First thought would be that Triple H doesn't want to have to work three shows, plus house shows and pay per views. Maybe we do, in fact, need Jericho to "save us" and become undisputed champion once again.

Is Jericho being punished for something I missed? Why is he feuding with guys twice his age? I'm not looking to kick the crutch out from under the legends, but come on. Now, I'll freely admit that I loved seeing the Dragon back in action after all this time. It was great to have another moment with my son where I could say, "You see him son? I saw him in person when I was about your age, and he was one of my heroes." It's a great feeling, and I thank WWE for that. I know, you think I should take a hard line here, no gray areas. Well, that's hard to do damnit. On one side, Ricky Steamboat is on of those select few that have cleanly pinned Ric Flair for a world title, and is a true legend. On the other side, he's yet another old fart in a world dominated by people younger, stronger and faster. I will admit it though..... Steamboat, you've still got it.

Random Thoughts:

Raw will have a new Divas champion soon, I hope; though the current champ is smokin'.

DAMN! I miss Ron Simmons.

Anyone ordering Backlash? Anyone? Anyone at all.....

Right now, I'm in physical therapy for my neck three times a week. I truly feel these women like to hurt me. They are evil, but it hurts so good.

I think Sting dropping the TNA title to Cactus Jack was a temporary act. Someone will step up and take the strap from him soon.

WTG to Angelina Love for winning the Knockouts Title.
