On this day in (2000) Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit for the WWF IC Title.

At that time Jericho was an annoying mid carder he was bouncing from heel to face to heel to face to heel.... who had a horrible little band

Now a days he's just a guy desperatly trying to capture his glory days who appears on horrible VH1 TV shows...

Really hard to tell if this is where he saw himself considering what he put in his book.

I saw this interesting quote that was said by Kevin Dunn in regards to the WWE Diva Search in it's first year

"It's easy to go lowbrow.  That's not where we're going with our product in general, or this (diva) search. We'll be fighting our image for 50 years, because there's 50 years (of tradition) before us, and we understand that. We want someone we can put on a pedestal here and who can represent the WWE in a classy - I wouldn't say sophisticated - but a classy, nice manner."

Now just by that... I would like to know exactly why that idiot makes as much money as he does... other than the obvious fact of how he bends over a desk to keep his gig. I mean this is the same idiot who made the bonehead choice of getting the WWE tied in with Survivor which did nothing but waste the time of Ashley Massaro.

And what's worst, he's on the WWE's Board of Directors... I'll just bet he's the main reason we have the cow from El Paso Vickie Guerrero being a rhymes with Runt on TV every week.

On top of that... when one looks at his coroporate bio located here corporate.wwe.com/company/bios/k_dunn.js... THE FIRST TWO PARAGRAPHS FLAT OUT SAY that the only reason Kevin Dunn got a job at all in the WWE is because of who his daddy was (which also explains why certain second/third generation wrestlers are employed by the WWE)

Oy vey...

Must be nice to get paid six figures and not have a brain...

___EDIT____

Just saw this: Between annual salary ($713,462), stock awards ($882,359) and incentive bonuses,  Kevin Dunn earned $1,967,821 in 2008

So I take that back about six figures... It must be real PH-UCKING nice to get SEVEN figure and not have a brain

You know with Tommy Dreamer apparently having just 6 weeks left, the WWE needs to give the main a token title to close things out. Trish & Lita's final Women's championships were just 'Hey thanks', Mick Foley got 1 (his first title win), JBL (His IC title win) Kane, Mark Henry, VInce McMahon and Chavo Guerrero (their ECW title runs)... Tommy Dreamer deserves to get his name one last time in the record books.

On this day in 2003 Jazz defeated Trish Stratus for the WWE Women's Title at Backlash that lasted all of 5 minutes and 50 seconds

Last night... there was a skit that spat in the face of every Diva in the WWE that lasted 3 times as long and saw Beth Phoenix punched by The Great Khali

Back in 2003, a six man tag took place with World Champion Triple H, Ric Flair and Chris Jericho facing Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash and Booker T with no stupulations about the title changing hands if someone lost

Last night, for the second time in history, the WWE Title changed hands in a 6 man tag featuring WWE Champion Triple H, Shane McMahon and Batista losing to Randy Orton and Priceless (Rhodes & DiBiase)

In 2003, John Cena lost to WWE Champion Brock Lesnar in a hard fought match with NO INTERFERANCE

Last night, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena lost the match and the title to Edge after interferance from The Big Show

Back in 2003, there were not one, BUT TWO Tag Team Title matches (Team Angle retaining the WWE Tag Titles against Los Guerreros, RVD & Kane retaining the World Tag titles against The Dudleys)

Last night... the Unified Tag Team Champions Carlito and Primo weren't even Curtain Jerkers

I could go on... but needless so say the differences from Backlash 2009 and Backlash 2003 are numerous, but these major ones are a big reason as to why the buy rate for last nights pay-per-view will be so bad.

Word is Kurt Angle's contract with TNA is coming to an end in October and the WWE is hoping to bring that pill poppin' wife ditchin' horse's back side back.

Now let's look at the positive for Angle: in the WWE he'll get more money

The negative: Angle will load on up on more pills than he is now, gain 20-40 pounds and his joke of a career will be shorten to a heavy degree plus he would be a mid-card act cause it's proven he can't draw a PH-UCKING dime

Now in TNA, he stays as he is as a upper tier talent who doesn't draw a dime, but looks somewhat healty while he flies off the handle and changes the script because he feels like it.

My opinion: He should just retire, fix things up with Karen and disapper before he becomes another news story for CNN to bash wrestling.
