HIGHLIGHTS:  3/2/99

- I am NOT happy this week...

- As soon as I mention what an awesome match Hart vs. Benoit would be, WCW gladly provides it.  (Go ahead and tell me no one from the major feds reads this stuff.)  Then they blow the match with a @$%#! screwjob ending.

- If they would have just left it at Hart refusing to release Benoit from the sharpshooter, it could have started a major feud between the two.  But nooooooo... once again Hart is put in the position of setting up other wrestlers for other matches.

- Not that the match was all that great anyway.  That was a MAJOR disappointment.   Hart looked like he was sleepwalking through the whole damn thing.

- No sir, I am NOT happy...

- The WWF barely mentions the teddy bear angle before apparently dropping it entirely.   What the hell?  Did they come to their senses and drop a child-kidnapping angle before the entire U.S. of A. laid the smack down on their candy ass?

- And what was the "surprise" Vince McMahon had in store for the Undertaker?   They mentioned it a couple of times and then... nothing?  Is Terry Taylor bringing them the time-honored tradition of "on the fly" booking from WCW?

- Of course, I might have missed something, because the last half hour of RAW actually PUT ME TO SLEEP!  I started slipping away when "Shitboy" Jesse James returned and by the time the UT/Mankind match started, I was out.

- And the saddest thing is, it was still better than what WCW had on!  Sorry, but putting the Steiner name in a match lately automatically makes it "AMERICA": A Match Everyone Readily Ignores, Creating Apathy.

- OK, OK, so I was reaching for that last one.  But it would make it really appropriate if Hogan went back to his old theme song... "I am a real AMERICAn..."

- Happy, I definitely am not...

- Jim Ross finally returns... and we have to listen to Michael Cole through the whole damn show anyway!  Why?  Because they set up good ol' J.R. in yet another stupid heel angle!  WAKE UP!  It was stupid when he brought in the fake Diesel and Razor, and it's even stupider now.

- After that confrontation with Bart Gunn, is anyone predicting a clean finish to his match against Butterbean at Wrestlemania?  I sure as hell ain't.

- Happiness and I aren't even in the same zip code this week...

- WCW Nitro.  Three hours.  Six matches.  If this is "tradition", then tradition SUCKS!

- The ONLY thing I saw on either show that made me smile this week was two kids in the front row at Nitro.  They were on the camera's side of the ring, meaning they watching the ring action and facing away from the camera for most of the show.  But when Hogan hit the ring with another one of his long-winded pointless speeches, THEY TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HIM!  THE FUTURE OF AMERICA HAS SPOKEN, AND IT SAYS HOGAN BLOWS!  The kids just stood there, rolling their eyes, shaking their heads... it was beautiful!  God, if only we could get the other 18,000 people in the arena to do that every week!

- Am I the only red blooded American male that actually gets *nauseated* at the thought of Debra removing her clothes?  I mean, she's just too damn OLD!!  And that pale ass of hers doesn't look like it's seen sunlight since Woodstock.  Ugh.

- For a very special look at a certain female wrestler that *doesn't* nauseate me and is appearing soon in a certain magazine, click here.

- NOW I'm happy! :))))))))))))))))
