One of the rare instances when looks aren't the only thing? I know Natalya can wrestle, and Layla is OK. (But she is my type, though, a short brunette.)

It was yeah. Layla actually has some wrestling ability (not sure of her background) and she really brought out the wrestler in Natalya. You could almost say it was a technical match (but that may be going overboard)

I just watched Randy Orton: Evolution of a Predator on Netflix. Very, very good documentary. A clear, detailed, precise look at Orton in his career and his personal life. It was 60/40 in favor of his career, but I still learned a lot about Randy as a person, and how his life affected his career for the good and the bad, and vice versa. Definitely recommended.

How exactly do they talk about his first winning the World Title considering the guy he won it from is now persona non grata as far as the history of WWE is concerned?

[Rodimus Prime]

They managed to pull it off without a showing or mentioning of Benoit. They didn't show any part of the match, just Orton's celebration afterwards, followed by comments from Orton, HHH, and a few others about how it was too soon for him, even though he had nowhere to go but the main event by that time. Honestly, I didn't even think about who he won it from.

There's a part of me that's more than a little sad about that...

Yeah, me too. Has the WWE been successful in driving all memories of Benoit from fans?

Only in the new generation, I think. I would like to hope that most of us who became fans prior to 2006 still know who he is, and can look past what happened to remember the great matches he had.

Anyways, picked up Wrestlemania earlier this week. First thing I did was watch Taker/Trips, which actually manages to hold together on a repeat viewing. (Though it must be said that about 75% of that is thanks to Shawn. And incidentally, with WWE putting out a box set covering Taker's streak in July, and with this match being on it, I really feel like I've wasted my money, since, aside from that and Rock/Cena, this Wrestlemania was pretty forgettable, even if it was still better than last year's.)

I hope this new angle with laurenitus is over soon. I have not been able to watch a complete Raw or Smackdown in quite some time..
