-Notes: A good edition of Velocity, on paper it didn't look to exciting, but watching it was pretty good. Lita did good on commentary too, I was surprised, she did better than I thought. Best match of the night was Tajiri vs. Funaki. Funaki looked good out there again and it's about time they're pushing him. Chuck vs. Hardcore Holly was pretty good too, I enjoyed it. Oh yeah, and for thoses of you wondering what happened to me last week, well I took a vacation. It was alright, except the TV lineup for the motel was horrible. No wrestling channels at all. Well, there's no place like home. Thanks for reading, see you next week. Send me feedback at Flexholly@aol.com.
