i marked *HARD* that sunday night when HHH finally tapped. never has a wrestling match made me jump out of my seat at a friends place and yell "TAP YOU BITCH!" at the screen repeatedly. the sight of eddie & benoit in the ring together was priceless.

wwe going public was the worst decision ever because the company now needs to answer to stockholders and their desire for profitable investment. it is obvious that they need to take a step back and re-evaluate themselves and their business schedule & practices, but i doubt the stockholders will allow it because the price would take a hit every "offseason".
