    I did enjoy Jim Cornette's brief reference to Chief Jay Strongbow's agent reports. I'll never forget the time in a shoot interview when Kevin Nash quoted one of Strongbow's reports on a match of his, which stated the following: "You could have had that match in an iron lung." Nash acknowledged that while he didn't know exactly what that meant at the time, he knew "it wasn't an accolade of any kind."

    So it sounds like the final card left off Dogg, Savio, and the Godwinns. Why not have them wrestle a Fatal 4-Way? I was originally thinking they could've booked Dogg and Vega vs. The Godwinns, but I didn't think that made any sense having the Dogg and Vega in a tag against the Godwinns, but throwing them into a 4-Way would've been much more fun, and made more sense considering the characters involved. And book Dogg to win because...isn't he from Tennessee? __ Oh. Georgia. Well, book Dogg to win anyway, because Tennessee is close enough that he's a home-town boy, plus Dogg was awesome.
    Other than that, not a bad overhaul for a wrestling card, especially considering that nobody would pop for Pritchard (especially if he's injured), and 'Taker vs. Faarooq in a steel cage sounds pretty excellent. Plus, having only six matches instead of eight allowed them to tack more time onto the semi-main and the main, which doesn't hurt (and a cage match always benefits from more time).
