Day: September 9, 2005

Here. Not much to it, as you’d figure.

If they plan on leaving the .com SmackDown up for a while, I’ll be doing a recap. Probably won’t be able to do it exactly live and wouldn’t want to. For the purposes of historical relevance (and since OO’s not bothering with it, which would cause me to actually have to work to find a recap), I’ve got no problem spending an hour on it, provided I can pause to walk away from the annoying show every time I want.

No one besides me cares about the indexes, but if you pretend you do for a second and wonder why I didn’t just take out Velocity and Heat boxes after they’re off the air. Even though they’re goners, I’m still holding out this completely baseless hope that they’ll end up doing something to pacify lower tier guys – they’ve done (much smaller) things to make sure people are happy before and it doesn’t make sense not to do a B-Show with the roster unless you’re going to gut it. They’ve done enough internet related matches of late that they’d know if it was a worthwhile outlet. On the other hand, if they were up to something like this, they probably would’ve announced it already.

Deleting after I’m sure is a lot easier than reinserting, so I wait. I’m pretty sure I’m just coming up with delusional ideas to Make This Work when I know it’s going to be the exact opposite of that. I don’t see myself recapping RAW or SmackDown or a clip show or an internet talk show, so the future of our relationship doesn’t look especially bright, obviously.

I keep thinking I should make a list of wrestlers, with counts of their A show and B show appearances over the last couple months, but then I don’t think such a chart would tell us much we didn’t know.
