Let's Anticipate WWE Homecoming

And honestly, I don't want to see Hogan, Piper, Duggan, Iron Sheik or any of those past stars, unless it's to get their asses kicked by their current ones.

Aside from an interference-free Iron Man Match, I'd like to see one hot angle to come out of this show to get me excited for the next months.

It was already mentioned 8490 times on RAW last night ... more times than the returns of Austin and Hogan, I think.

The stips in the ladder match effectively demand a clean finish, since one guy is leaving the show and should therefore lose clean (presuming they adhere to their own stips, which may not be the case).

I fear Cena/Bischoff already.

Shawn and Angle already had two 30-minute one fall matches, so I'm wondering if we'll see things tied 0-0 until the inevitable (?) Chris Masters run-in, thereby ruining the entire match.

Assuming it's a SD multi-men tag match, I'd like them to add some new faces like Kennedy, MNM and Lachey to the shoo-ins (Guerrero, Batista, UT, Orton, Mysterio, JBL). Of course, Vince mentioned Benoit, but no way are they putting Jordan in and Booker's a face. Maybe Christian to eat the pinfall.

Vince's "reign" (all of three days) happened after the Austin feud -- he beat HHH for the title on SD. The true significance of that was that it was the same week that Bischoff was canned as Vice-Prez of WCW. Vince gave himself the title to signify that he'd beaten WCW once and for all and was the true "champion" of the business.

Vince then vacated the title and HHH beat 840 people simultaneously to win it back, as part of Phase II of his blowjob push.

Thanks for clarifying then, I seemed to have misremembered it as having occured during vince vs. stone cold, which was the entire basis for my confidence in a Bischoff title win.

I was a pretty good show all in all, but the Austin and Triple H segments went on and on forever.

I hated the finish to HBK/Angle (and Shawn's comeback to tie it at 2-2 was far too ordinary), but those guys worked their asses off -- the pace of the match was blistering.

Meltzer implied that the HHH turn would happen this week, so I was basically expecting it. It didn't make any sense, but what was the last big turn in WWE that made any sense?

The Austin segment was good for comedy, but I agree that it could have stood to lose 10 minutes.

The best part was Mick Foley being Mick Foley, making fun of McMahon's overselling and such. I'm also glad that the Angle-Benoit cage match, an afterthought at the time, got a high ranking in the top moments (that's the one when Angle moonsaulted off the top of the cage, followed by a Benoit headbutt from up there).

The Owen Hart tribute was a bit hard to watch. At the time, I remembered two things that really hit me and they showed them again last night: the shot of big man Mark Henry with tears really flowing and the Jeff Jarrett segment.

Anyway, it was a surprisingly well put together one-hour special.

The top ten, IIRC, were the same as those from the shitty RAW tenth anniversary special from a couple of years ago, except this special was way better because of all the extre highlights and interviews.

The stunners on Linda and Steph were censored in Canada, which is what they typically do for all man-on-woman WWE violence. Stupid TSN.
