But first, a couple of signs to get out of the way first.....

Also, thanks to RichinKC for sending this one in:

WWF

-You will probably see more of a Radicals split, as I can imagine Chris Benoit getting into the thick of things now that he's not the Intercontinental Champ. I really hope this is the feud that helps Perry Saturn get more over in the WWF, that way a lot of the criticism towards him can end.

-You can probably bet that the British Bulldog will lose that Hardcore Title back to Crash Holly, as you can predict that the COOKIE SHEET FROM HELL will have something to do with it. That seems like the weapon of choice for the WWF, and a funny one at that.

-WWF just started another webpage, and that's WWFDX.com. Yes, you guessed it, a Degeneration X webpage. I want to know what took them so long to make this webpage? If they had it back when it was really hot, they would have racked up on the hits. But now, after they've established themselves as heel wrestlers, but actually hated this time, the WWF releases the DX site. What's even more of a shame is the fact that there isn't much on one of the two originators of DX: Chyna and HBK.

WCW

Let me get off the subject for a second and lash out a little bit about Tammy Sytch. It seems the focus of other writers to comment on Tammy Sytch's weight lately. That's all I hear about her return, and it's pretty ridiculous. Shut up. She's been through hell for the past 2 or 3 years, so lay off her. Maybe the ones making those comments need to check themselves out in the mirror sometime. Nuff said.

-God, Ralphus was the mystery partner for Norman Smiley. I wonder if Ralphus lost the ego he gained when he was Chris Jericho's head of security back in the day.

-WCW didn't drop the ball on the 3 cage match, which lost a lot of heat thanks in part to David Arquette. Jeff Jarrett is your new champ, and it will take some time to build him up after losing the title the first time. I still, however, see him as the WWF Intercontinental champion, and NOT the WCW World Champion. Oh wait, the WWF IC title is much stronger than the WCW World!

-I went 6-3 in my predictions this time around, which makes me on fire with my predictions. I've been getting nailed on my Pay Per View predictions lately, so it's nice to get a hot streak.

No Nitro preview up yet, so I'll spare my comments for tomorrow's PDC.

Bret Hart: The Best There Is, the Best There Was, the Best There Ever Will Be

The book starts with Bret's early life....in a few sentences, and then with his early wrestling career, in a few sentences....and then for his long 14 year career with the WWF. First off, the WWF didn't let him use very much of his Bret Hart pictures to help tell the story. When he was describing the WWF, there were pictures of Bret wrestling DDP or Sting, and that's strange. It's also funny to see how he talks about his short run in WCW more than he does his 14 year run in the WWF.

His WWF career took all of one chapter, or should I say 5 pages of reading. His WCW career was long and descriptive, especially the matches between himself and Chris Benoit. He doesn't go into much detail about the screwjob at Survivor Series 97(don't know what I'm talking about, rent Wrestling with Shadows please), and that was bothersome. He only really touched on Owen in his message to him from his column done last year, but it has to be very hard for him to write on Owen.

I wish that Bret would have taken the time to make a Novel out of this one, because with 20 years of wrestling and another 20 years of life, he could have wrote a novel much longer than Mick's. Instead, we get this short edition of his life with hardly any personal experiences, loaded with Bret Hart WCW pictures. I think this book would be a much better read for younger wrestling fans, but if you are expecting some great read like DDP's book or Mick's book, pass this one up!

Last Word: As mentioned above, this book is probably geared towards younger fans...or at least I hope so. I flew through this book, and I'm somewhat of a slow reader too. I guess it's easy to read, but it's only around 40 pages of actual reading. If you are a hardcore Bret Hart fan, this is probably recommended because of all of the Bret Hart pictures included. If you are someone who has loved the recent novel biographies and if you are a regular wrestling fan, pass this one up. I'll give it a
