    Can he be put in a program with Khali, Snitsky and other bad workers and end their careers, too?

    WWE could re-sign Ahmed Johnson, pair him with D-Lo and make the stiffest-working tag team in the biz. Call 'em the Neckbreakers or something. Finishing move: Piledriver. What else?

    Bring Barbarian and Warlord back and that would be a tag team feud for the ages!

    Can we just implode Titan Towers now, please?

    Whenever I think of Ahmed Johnson, I think of this clip.

     
  6. I enjoy watching the lost art of the jabroni on AWA classics.

    Those guys have no entrance music, plain names and no ability. Most of the time they're lucky to get a punch in. It's great!

    How did rasslin' lose the jabroni anyway? It seems like Vince killed it after "Harrowitz wins! Harrowitz wins!" (spelling?)

    I saw D'Lo in the first dark match at a Smackdown!/ECW taping in August '07. He looked really good and got a huge pop once his old entrence music hit.

    End of SmackDown! wrapping up here now. When talking about McMahon's million-dollar giveaway, Mick Foley said, "McMahon hasn't wasted that much money since signing Goldberg."

    Ouch.

    Taped Smackdown....is it me or is Khali getting a face run? The best part of taping was seeing Michelle McCool in low (as in Green Bay temps in January low) blue jean shorts. Nice, creative idea on the main event. You knew Batista would win, but bringing in Colin Delaney, Funaki and Nunzio as his tag partners in an eight-man? Funny.

    The more I see of Vladmir Kozlov, the more I see this guy getting a push. Bonus points for someone who comes into the ring without intro music.

    Of course! He was feuding with the dreaded Russkie, Soldad Ustinov, about a week ago.

    The Baron was carrying around his Kent Hrbek Louisville Slugger to protect himself.

    As for the jobbers, I'd say they probably went out the window for good in the mid-90s, when the WWE finally admitted 'rasslin was 'sports entertainment.'

    Although you do occasionally see a jobber when they're trying to put some new guy over big. I like the new terminology for them, though: 'enhancement talent.'
