- Gave Stacey and Molly 5 points for their danceoff as a promo. Not really a match. If you disagree please say so. The other 4 all got 5 points for coming down and mixing it up.
- Gave Bischoff 5 points for his titantron match announcement since he addressed the ring area.
- Gave 5 points each to Tomko, Christian, HBK, and Y2J for their arguing before their impromptu match.
- Didn't give points to the Raw Divas. I am thinking next week we need to do that. Do we have to go back and give her (whoever wins) points for the weeks since the season started?
- Decided to give Kane and Lita 5 points for the post match promo. Only seems right considering it took an extra full segment.
- Gave Orton points for a singles match and HHH, Batista, and Flair points for a tag match. Just seemed fair.
- The bell rang for a DQ in the Main Event. It was never announced but clearly that was what referee Jack Doane was calling for. If somebody disagrees please say so.

i would say everything seems good. Only question I have, which really has nothing to do with this show, but does orton get turn points yet?
I think last night was the first time we had to really consider it. It was the first time that established faces willingly teamed up with him, not that hat should be the standard for everyone. The only other time he helped a face was during the Eugene/HHH match, but that was clearly more for the purpose of antagonizing HHH. Even tho the whole internet has been discussing his turn for a while, it hasn't really happened yet, imo. I'd say that if he makes nice or teams up with some faces next week, we give it to him then. The other guy we should be watching for a turn is Edge, tho with his new injury that could all change.

I guess I'll look at the bright side......Nidia is getting points out of nowhere while Edge sits out......unfortunately she ain't gonna keep it up for 6-8 weeks.
I'm surprised that something like this would come up now. We give 2 points for the backstage stuff, which I think we know might sometimes be pretaped, and 5 points for the in-ring stuff. If you look, Brock Lesnar never got any points for his 'next big thing promos. Batista and Heidenreich never got points for theirs. Kenzo Suzuki and Carlito Colon never got any points for their pre-debut taped promos. HBK, Big Show and Shelton Benjamin nevr got points for their 'coming back soon' promos and Los Guerreros never got points for their 'Lie Cheat Steal' promos. I think we've been very consistant about this.
its definately been consistent with any show i have taped. i know we had this discussion when suzuki's aired and it was clarified then.
if that something people want to see changed in the scoring we could put it to a vote. i would prefer it stay like it is but if others feel differently then lets put it to a vote.

I haven't even asked about Colon, because I thought that was the case (though admittedly not 100% sure).

oh yea. i'm not complaining. i understand those to be the rules. phooey!
i just have a feeling i have this season's eugene, albeit, the heel version.
From the way they'd been describing him on the internet house show reports and from the old Bucci pictures I've seen, I was expecting a skinny guy with with an afro, ala Richard Simmons. I was actually a bit disappointed.

actually Bucci has been that big for a couple years now. he was bulking up at the tail end of ECW, and once he got the run in OVW, he really got serious.
as for Simon Dean's message - from my buddy Mike Johnson at pwinsider, this is what you heard if you called:
""Thanks for calling the Simon System. You're making the first step in changing your fat, lazy lifestyle. The Simon System is a revolutionary, proprietary, homeopathic breakthrough, designed by me, Simon Dean. I've studied and researched the most efficient way to melt away the mountains of fat stored on your pathetic body. By ordering my product, your body will change on a molecular level. Now, as expected, my operators are very busy helping fat people just like you. While you're waiting, let me tell you more about me. Well, I was born to help the people I refer to as the fat masses, like you. Later in life, I went on...."
At that point, the voicemail beeps and you can leave a message. "

You know, with all this "Hurricane" action going on that is taking up all the big news, you figure that "The Hurricane" would show up.
