Yes. Your eyes do not deceive you. It is in fact another In This Very Ring.... Or for all you Jamster lovers, In This Very Ringdingadingadingading....

Well, judgement day at my place of work came and went and as it turns out things didn't change to much for me and I still have a job. The only real change is that I will be working a whole lot less of weekends. Which is always a bonus. Still, things at one point looked bleak so what better way to forget about your worries than a road trip? None. So road trip it was. Destination London for the Expo '05. Mission: To meet Matt Hardy, Rob Van Dam and Ultimate Warrior. Was it mission accomplished? You Betcha! Milky, Glencyclopedia, Carl, my good lady and me all got to meet, chat, get an autograph and a picture with all three of them. Throw in a surprise meeting and photo(and Autograph for Glenn) with FWA superstar Alex Shane and the day was beyond amazing. Was I a complete Mark when I met Ultimate Warrior? Um, yep. Did I wear his long entrance coat for my picture with him? Um, yep again. And did I hold his Blue World title for said photo to? That'll be a yep again. Best day of my life? It just might have been. Only meeting Al Snow would be better.... Maybe one day.

Is it wrong to like Vis? I tell you what. Even though Big Vis is never going to main event(again. Let's not forget King Mable's failed Run at World Champ Diesel)and he is just doing Mark Henry's old sexual Chocolate gimmick but blow me wasn't this weeks Lillian segment so damn funny. There has to be a little something of everything in wrestling and there will always be daft gimmicks and segments like this so why not go with the unlikely sex symbol Vis trying to pull Lillian Garcia. And anyone who interrupts anything to do with Christy Hemme is alright in my book. At first I was hoping Vis was going to continue in the trend of bodysplashing women like he did with Trish, but when Hemme and Candice Michelle got out of the ring I knew it wasn't to be. Shame really because I was really looking forward to calling Trish Stratus Trish Flatus, Christy Hemme Squishty Hemme, Candice Michelle Candice Misquelsh. Heck, if Vis had done Lillian I would have got the chance to call her Lillian Cantseeher! Anywhoo, I guess what I'm trying to say is that as long as the segments remain entertaining and as funny as they were this week on Raw then I really don't have a problem with it. Unless Lillian gets pregnant and she gives birth to a prosthetic foot.

Was that really Randy Orton on this weeks Raw? Man, he looked skinny. I mean really skinny. Teddy Long skinny. I know that he has had surgery and training will be down the line but why bring him out on Raw? Has he really pissed someone off in the office that much? Last time we saw the Rand he was getting absolutely annihilated by Batista. Hell, I've seen Jobbers in the Angle invitational get in more offence than the Legend Killer did that night. This week he came out only for Vince to totally rip the piss out of him. Not only did the Vin Man make the Rand look stupid by pointing out his suit was hanging off him he singled out Orton's less than flattering choice of hair cut. Jeeze. It was all topped off by a 'friendly' tap on the repaired shoulder. Poor poor Orton. If all he came out for was to say that he couldn't get drafted because he was on the injured list then obviously he is having memory problems too. Both Chris Benoit and The Edge were drafted while injured. I think it would of been best all round if Orton had given Raw a miss this week as he really can't afford to lose anymore heat and momentum. It will be interesting to see where he ends up, not on which brand though, but with his standing in the company. Once the WWE's golden Child, Randy Orton has lost some of his lustre.

Well, we all knew it was coming. The Powers That Be couldn't ignore the signs anymore. They HAD to turn Lita Heel. Lita had been on the end of what can only be described as frosty receptions from the fans since here stabbing of Matt Hardy in the back went public. So seeking to turn that negative in to a positive Lita turned on her husband Kane. The only part I kind of had a bit of a problem with is, and I know that it had to be done for the storyline purpose, was The Edge and Lita swapping saliva on the top of the ramp. You got to believe at that point, if Matt Hardy was watching, he had to feel sick. But It had to be done to solidify the Heel turn and give some much needed heat to Mr Money In The Bank. I still think that The Edge needs that extra, ahem, edge to separate him from the mid card and propel him to the main event proper and get him away from just hanging around with the big boys. It's a shame that Matt Hardy was released because, as wrong as it is to turn a real life situation such as this in to an angle, if they did it could really make both The Edge and Hardy. I always feel that programs with an element of truth or reality in them, especially ones in which the fans can relate to, always make for great TV. Hands up all those who would pay to see The Edge get his comeuppance at the hands of Matt Hardy. That's just about everyone then. And just when Matt Hardy thought things couldn't get any worse, The Edge is going to win the World title sooner rather than later. I don't know who's going to be more upset, Hardy or Glencyclopedia. It's a close call.

I didn't think they could do it, but they did. They have turned the beloved babyface Eddie Guerrero Heel. And what a Heel he is. No longer is he the slimy stereotypical Latino Heel. Eddie is a full blown serious don't-you-ever-mess-with-me-or-I'll-do-you-in baddass Heel. Not only as Eddie up his in ring Heel-ness but his promos are out of this world. Eddie has always been great on the mic but his recent work has been outstanding. If Latino Heat keeps on going like this the WWE are in danger of having a real credible heel to challenge John Cena when he's done making JBL say 'I quit'(Yup JBL in yet another gimmick bout). I was convinced that they were going to pull a swerve and turn a blander by the week Rey Rey Heel but I was wrong. Let's hope that the rejuvenated Eddie brings out the best in Rey Rey and brings him back to his wCw best. Whatever goes down at the PPV this Sunday Rey and Eddie have the chance to steal the show.

What are they doing with Kurt Angle? The whole making Angle go after another mans wife just doesn't sit right. It doesn't go with anything that Angle has ever stood for. I was hoping that last weeks little episode was just to lure Booker T out the back and to throw him off his Game but when Angle continued down that same path this week I feared the worst. So far in his career Angle has pulled of every different tweak and nuance that has been added to his character with ease. From a dorky Olympic Gold Medallist to out and out comedy Vince Hugger on to super Patriot Hero Angle to serious all business Kurt. Our Olympic Hero hasn't lost a step in his run to best all rounder ever in the WWE. But this time I don't think even Mr. Untouchable Kurt will be able to come out of this with any good. Let's hope after the PPV match with Booker the Slimy Angle is locked away in the failed gimmick safe next to Faarooq Asaad's helmet, Deacon Batista's collection box and Simon Dean.
