The House is back, ba-bay! Let's delve into things, shall we?

I'm really starting to like the Morrison/Miz vs Cryme Tyme thing that they have going on Raw right now. I think it could turn into a great tag team angle and, lets face it, there's not a lot of good tag angles around anymore. I did get a little upset when Cryme Tyme lost the tag match and then JTG lost the shingles match, but I think that if they go in the right direction from right now this whole thing will be great. The Hoodstarz lose, M&M get cocky, then the Boyz from the Hood take advantage. I could see the end of this having Miz and Morrison breaking as a team and moving back into singles competition. I think they should have some of the angle appear on ECW though. Just having it on Raw doesn't really make sense, in my opinion.

How well did Mickie James and Jamie Noble look as a team last Monday night? It might just be my own perception, but I think they functioned as a, and forgive the cliche, well-oiled machine. Some of the so-called tag teams out there don't look that good some of the time. I don't know if that speaks to Mickie and Jamie's vercitility or if it was just one of those things. Either way, it was good.

Saying in that same general topic, I'm liking the pairing of Layla and William Regal. I know it's still early on, but it had a vibe about it that I'm digging. On a personal note, I'd love to see Regal work with Layla behind the scenes to help her improve her in-ring abilities. If he does and she catches on, she could be great in the near future.

I just read that the WrestleMania XXIV broadcast on MyNetwork TV on Thursday did a pretty small rating. I don't want to say that I predicted it, but I kind of did. I know it the epic show of all WWE, but what did they expect airing a trimmed-down version 7 months after it first happened and, roughly, 5 months after the DVD came out? Pretty much everyone one that wanted to see it has already.

Please take the Intercontinental title away from Santino. For the love of all the greats that have held the belt please do it soon. Every time he walks to the ring with the belt I die a little inside. He's a comedic heel. He shouldn't be the IC champion. he's supposed to help get the mid-card faces over not drag down the value of the IC title by being the man-beyotch of the Women's champion. And whats wosre was having him squashed by Batista. The IC champion should NEVER be squashed like that. I know Batista is a former World champion, but I don't care. Squashing the Intercontinental title holder like that makes the title look like cr*p because it's wearer can't last longer than 10 seconds in a match.

No Mercy is tomorrow and the card is looking pretty good. I'm looking foreward most to the Ladder match myself. I'm 99% sure that Shawn will lose the match, but I have no doubt that it it will be an awesome performace by Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho.

Speaking of Shawn and Ladder matches... have you ever noticed that whenever they say something is someone "specialty match" the person that they're talking about usually loses those type of matches? Like Shawn, he's been in something like 4 or 5 ladder matches and I'm pretty sure he's lost the all so far.  Same for Jeff Hardy and Ladders, he's only won 1 or maybe 2. And the Undertaker in Casket or Burried Alive matches. He has yet to win a Burried Alive match and in the 8 or so Casket matches he's been in he's won 3 or 4. About the only exception to that is Edge and TLC matches where he's only lost once in about 3 or 4 matches.

Freddie Prinze, Jr finally popped in for a blog recently and I marked out. ;-)

Carlito and Primo Colon are the best team on the SmackDown roster and I'll fight anyone that says other wise.

Any fans of the SmackDown vs Raw video games out there? Recently THQ put up the roster list, but it has since been removed. However, not before it was leaked out to the internet gaming communitee. I have seen the list and I have to say that it is top notch. I've only found 4 people, of 62,  in the game that are no longer with the company (Ashley, Ric Flair, Trevor Murdoch, and Bid Daddy V). After last year's game had a roster of almost half of the guys gone, I think THQ did a great job. Also this game contains the largest roster of Divas ever seen in an SvR game with 11. Included in those 11 is Victoria which I am glad to see in the game for the first time since the original SmackDown vs Raw. The game, according to IGN, will release in the U.S. on November 9th and I, for one, cannot wait.

That's it for this edition eveyone. Until next time...
