 Welcome back to the only place that's in more hot water then Eric Bischoff's wife! Well, not really, but I couldn't think of a good intro. Ya, RTJ is a tad late, who cares? Just read it, lol. Well, this column is shaping up to be pretty good, I suppose. Hopefully you'll stick around for the ride. :) So, lets get to it.. Well, first I would like to address something from last week's column. Still, most of my feedback was about Blitzkrieg. Here is what I've finally come to: I think Blitzkrieg quit WCW, and got a job as a computer programer. Someone else took up the Blitzkrieg gimmick, and that's why you might see a, "Blitzkrieg" on an indy show. I'm not sure. But, for now on. I'm going to drop the topic of Blitzkrieg. I just wanted to know what happened to the guy, and that's basically what I've come up with. So, I ain't going to talk about him anymore. Hm, where to start? Might as well get to the good stuff. Seems like The Rock will be returning this Monday. All I can say is.....about time! Now, I'll never say The Rock is a great wrestler. But, c'mon, the guy puts on a hell of a show! He isn't the greatest wrestler, but when he steps in the ring..it's just, "there" that something. No, I'm not the biggest Rock fan, but he does bring up the quality of the show. He isn't a, "Hogan" or he doesn't refuse to job. I think he's very underrated. But, I can't wait for him to return. The that will happen. But, if he does, man what a swerve that'd be! But, we'll have to wait and find out. Either way, Should be a slammin' show! Hm, looking back at my InVasion predictions, I do ok. I did better then LoP's Phat Pharm columnist ShaneOmacK so go suck on a dong, bitch boy! I was going to get InVasion. But, at the last second I pulled out. Why? Mostly because I didn't have the money, lol, but for another reason. I looked at the card, and I didn't think it was really worth the cash. From the feedback I read on it, the RVD v.s Jeff Hardy match was great. While the rest of the show was kinda lacking. Well, I guess the cards just fall like that sometimes. But, still sounded like a decent show. Lance Storm is the new Intercontinental champion, which was a decent surprise. Considering Albert did nothing with the belt. I don't mind Albert, but he got rushed WAY to early into the IC ranks; And he failed as the IC champ. But, it was kinda strange to see Lance Storm win the belt. I thought he would win it, since Albert has done nothing, but I wasn't really sure. Question - What's next for Albert? Being X-Pac's body guard? How fun. What a surprise having Kurt Angle win the WCW title! Man, I really wish I got Smackdown! Direct T.V can go to hell...wait..I complained about Direct T.V, this is becoming a bad habit.. It seems like The Sandman is opening up a promotion - MECW. Hm, I wonder how this fed will fend. Hogan recently pulled out of doing his federation, makes me wonder how big MECW will get. It won't be the next WWF, but will it be the next ECW? Ha! Probably not, but we'll have to wait and see. :) Tazz is getting a stacker 2 commercial? Question - Why? The guy has sorta let him self go. Maybe it's because of Tough Enough? Must be.. Jim Ross said that Ken Shamrock, might make a return soon. I almost forgot about Kenny. Last time he was in the WWF was uh..when Chris Jericho injured him, I believe. Wow, long time no see Kenny. Either way, would be pretty cool to see him back. I'd like to see an Ankle Lock v.s Ankle Lock match. Kurt Angle v.s Ken Shamrock that is. Ya, I know..not much to talk about.  Today's Band of the Week, is another highly request band. Not as much as Spineshank, but in 2nd or 3rd. So, lets get to it, shall we? Yeup, Taproot. Taproot was supposed to be Fred Dursts first signed band to his label. Things feel through, and that didn't happen. Will it hurt them in a long run? Who knows? Either way, we get good music. Fronted by Stephen Richard's, along with Mike DeWolf's great guitar tone, and Jarrod Montague tight drumming, these guys can be around for a long time. These guys haven't really hit it big yet, they've had some air play, but nothing great. I think with their second major label disc, they could hit it huge. All depends. Either way, for now check out some songs. I recommend - again & Again, I, Impact, Smile . Check out their official website at http://www.taprootmusic.com Well, that's the column. I know, isn't anything great, nothing bad though. I'm hoping to have a great column next week. Just been a busy week, again. You know how it is. If you want to talk to me on AIM my name is RefusingtoJob, if you see me on, give me an IM! Also, I'm lookin' for some more recommendations for Band of the Week. If you know any local bands, or if you are in a band, and lookin' for exposure, I could help! Send me an e-mail. My address is Wiggey@lordsofpain.net. Also, before I go, I'd like to say thank you to Brendan Campbell, who wrote one of my favorite columns on LoP. I wish you the best of luck man! Other then that, send me an e-mail, read some stuff on the Pharm, and I'll see you next week, with a better column..hopefully. :) ~Wiggey Making an Impact on lives
