    Question is, is they come back WWE, would Vince allow them (Matt in particular) to use some semblance of the "Broken" character.

    Kind of surprised at that selection, but I always did like her in the WWE. Gotta think her being married to Edge had a little something to do with it.

    I also wouldn't be surprised if she's involved in an angle at Mania, or even coming back in some role. (Well, unless she's pregnant again.)

    Let's milk the Oscars thing for ALL it's worth. Did the exact same thing with Steve Harvey's blunder the next day at the Slammys.

    Next question because my last question was stupid - Barry Bonds.

    Current or past, the most underwhelming debut?

    (In any promotion; also can be extended to let's say a 6-month run afterwards since some have historically recovered from an average debut)

    It was a pretty good question, that I just didn't have much time to think of an answer. I was busy coming up with
    Oscar reactions.

    As for the new question, the first one that comes to mind is Glacier, with the help of the recent story that was posted.

    In the long-distant past, a guy named Mighty Joe Thunder has some IWC "love." He was a guy whose peak career was in the 1950s and early 60s with different characters and masks, who, for some reason, came out of retirement in the WWF in the early 1980s, was given Capt. Lou Albano as a manager, and had a few squash matches on TV. His wrestling style was, shall we say, very outdated. He disappeared after a few weeks. It's still a mystery why Vince gave him TV time.

    The Shockmaster. Or, the Gobbledy Gooker.

    "Underwhelming" would actually be a step up for those characters.
