I seem to have went a bit crazy with my use of gifs so I'm going to try and cut down on them next time.

Raw:

� Raw opens with an announcement of a Lingerie Match between Trish Stratus and Terri for the Women's Championship and it got me wondering when the last Lingerie Match was.

I tried to find out but all I managed to find was when the last Bra & Panties match was and it was on the 19th March 2007 episode of Raw between Candice Michelle and Melina, just as the "Ruthless Aggression Era" was nearing its end and the "PG Era" was on its way.

� We then get told that Kevin Nash has a "Major Announcement". This is what would have kept fans watching the show and that tactic is something that rarely happens now.

We're rarely given a reason to stay and watch now and you think it would have happened more after Raw went to three hours.

� Here's Steve Austin pissing on Arn Anderson.

SPOILER: show

Judging by the colour of his piss, Austin was really dehydrated and he might have also wanted to check his prostate with all that stopping and starting he did whilst pissing.

� A Hardcore match for the title happened between Steven Richards and Bradshaw which Bradshaw won, becoming the new champion.

He almost kissed the steps when he was celebrating.

SPOILER: show

Also, Jacqueline was the referee, so I hope the WWE don't try (or hasn't tried) to make a big deal out of female referees recently.

� Am I going crazy or is this policeman Kevin Dunn?

� A video of the winners of Tough Enough 2 was shown and during her victory speech, Jackie Gayda said "You wish upon a star and you have a dream and no matter what, your dream comes true, you keep on pushing and pushing and pushing and it'll just work!".

After the video, Lawler said "Yeah, I wanna tell Jackie to keep on pushing and pushing and pushing, she'll go far in the WWE, Woo-Hoo!"

� The Undertaker and Tommy Dreamer have a match and Undertaker wins with a Dragon Sleeper.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone win a match with a Dragon Sleeper.

� So the moment has arrived for Nash's "Major Announcement" and it's that Shawn Michaels is the newest member of the nWo.

I remember that and I also remember the random beeping that happened during Michaels' entrance.

SmackDown:

� We start off SmackDown with a 20-Man Battle Royal that only consisted of 19 wrestlers and had no winner.

During the Battle Royal, Lance Storm and Triple H continued their rivalry which consisted of Storm getting the better of Triple H by throwing him outside the ring (through the ropes) and beating him up.

You may not know how much I like the fact that Lance Storm and Triple H had a rivalry and that Lance Storm was portrayed as being a legitimate threat to Triple H.

I didn't really watch much of SmackDown back in 2002 for some reason, so a lot of my watching of SmackDown 2002 and onwards is in a way, going to be kinda new to me, which I think is pretty cool in weird way.

� Rico hasn't been hanging out with Billy & Chuck much since becoming Tag Team Champion and as a result, Billy gets zits on his ass.

SPOILER: show

During Billy & Chuck's elimination match against Rikishi & Rico for the titles, Rico quickly taps out to a wrist lock so he can be quickly eliminated so it's a handicap match but Rico continues to sell by holding his wrist and Tazz constantly points out that Rico has a "limp wrist".

Tazz just wouldn't let it go. He must have mentioned Rico having a limp wrist about twenty times. At one point Tazz said "I guess it's better to have a limp wrist than a limp biscuit".

� This episode of SmackDown saw the debut of Jamie Noble.

I had no idea that there was a backstory here that The Hurricane and Nidia were in a relationship and that The Hurricane left Nidia because she had multiple boyfriends.

� A match for Velocity was actually made on SmackDown and it was made by Vince himself. He then proceed to check out Jackie Gayda's ass as she walked out the room.

SPOILER: show

� Kurt Angle vs Hardcore Holly and Kurt Angle became Holly's tron.

SPOILER: show

All the way through SmackDown the ring bell was just an obvious sound effect that was added in post-production but the worst point of it was when Angle took the bell and tried to hit Holly with it. Angle dropped it in the ring and a sound effect was added when it hit the canvas and then another sound effect was added when Holly hit Angle with the bell.

It reminded me of when you hit someone with the bell on "WWF No Mercy".

� We see Maven in the hospital with a broken leg and Torrie comes to visit him with a banana (as you do).

She then does this with said banana:

SPOILER: show

A nurse comes in and tells Maven to keep his leg elevated to which he replies "Oh, don't worry, I'm real elevated right now!".

And then cue Tajiri in the hospital and his fantastic facial expressions and mannerisms:

SPOILER: show

I've always loved Tajiri.

Later on he finds Maven's room, opens the door and spits green mist in Torrie's face and pulls Maven off the bed and breaks his leg again by jamming it in the door.

I remember Tajiri as a heel back during this time but I didn't know he was this much of a heel.

He's great. He's both unintentionally funny and an absolute bastard, all at the same time.

� Man, Cole (and sometimes Tazz) was so bad back then. Edge had just forfeited his King of the Ring Qualifying match against Chris Jericho and Jericho appears.

The camera is solely on Jericho and you can clearly see him grab a mic and then enter the ring and all Cole could say was "Edge's scheduled opponent has just taken a microphone into the ring with him!".

I got big "SmackDown!: Just Bring It" vibes right there.

I got more of those vibes again when Jericho hit Edge with a chair and Tazz said "Jericho has crossed the line and his victim is Edge!".

Also, at the end of the show, Hogan offers his hand to Triple H and Cole said "Hulk Hogan acknowledged Triple H!" and later Kurt Angle's music hits and Cole says "Kurt Angle's out here!".

Maybe the commentary in "Just Bring It" wasn't that bad after all. It was just actually really accurate.

� Anyway, as I've used a hell of a lot of gifs here, I'll end with two images of random signs from Raw and one of just a random image:
