Insert suitable comments about how Confidential is a great show and it’s a shame no one seems to be watching it here. ;)

The WWE & Playboy feature was rather interesting to see. I remember watching all of the Sable excitement (I was 18). It was something new and different for WWF fans and then Chyna followed a couple of years later. The King at the Mansion was a very entertaining segment and I assume most you remember when Eddie Guerrero was upset his “mamasita” Chyna was going to be in the pages. It was interesting seeing Cat, Show and others talk about how good-looking Torrie is. I hope this issue does well, she deserves it.

The “WrestleMania Retro” segments look like they should be cool. Christian’s memories of seeing the first WrestleMania and his favorite memory were really nice. (Although I hated see the WWF logo blurred, it was the ‘W’ is WrestleMania that year! :mad: )

Fantasy Warfare is always great and Rowdy Roddy Piper “taking on” Chris Jericho certainly was interesting. I liked getting the perspectives of Tom Prichard and Gerald Brisco in this matter. The promos between the two certainly would have been something to hear. I found it interesting that the vote was split 2-2. I guess I’m not sure who I would go with.

Jerry Lawler is a lot more interesting that he leads us to believe when he just stares at Divas on RAW. I knew he did some artwork, but seeing it and hearing him talk about was really interesting. The man loves it.

I enjoyed hearing from Rhyno after his return on SmackDown! this week. The guy has been through a lot.

I’m a big fan of behind the scenes of commercials with Doug LeBow and The Big Show and the new Stacker2 commercial was no exception. This might be the best one with the race car driver yet.

Stacy goes thong shopping………..do I really have to say anything else? ;)

The closing question was rather interesting. :eek: Who would have thought Big would never pose nude? :p


Next week, Nathan Jones and breaking out of his cell!

I never have to comment, Penguin, because you always end up saying what I was basically going to say. :p

Good Ol' Batmanuel!

The Fantasy Warfare part was pretty funny. Those are a couple of top-notch blabbermouths! :)

The part with Lawler's artwork was amazing! I'm an artist myself and I loved seeing all his stuff. Lots of variety, too. I taped the show, then watched it later, so when they did that part where they showed 20 or so drawings in 3 seconds, I just used freeze frame and looked at them all. On of them was of Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. That made me laugh! :D

That Robin Hood act of Nathan Jones sounds interesting.

Playboy and WWE shared a common fanbase. Men who are between the age of 18-34. Torrie's issue should sell well. I hope Torrie doesn't fall victim to the curse of Playboy. Torrie shouldn't get a huge ego because she in Playboy. I don't want Torrie to end up like Sable or Chyna.

Y2J would beat Rowdy Roddy Piper. Y2J is more athletic and has a better finisher. Y2J does have a terrible beard.

King is a very talented artist. Rhyno's return is even bigger because Edge is out with injury. It great to see Rhyno back. Big Show is doing more commercials than the Rock. I don't know why. :( Everything looks good on Stacy Keibler.

Limp Bizkit performing at WM XIX should be sweet. The WM XIX ad was great. The ad conveyed how important WM is. WM retro with Christian was okay. The WM moments should get better as we approach WM.

Mean Gene's semi-nude photo was horrifying. I wasn't surprised at how open the divas were about posing for Playboy in the future. The divas are semi-nude almost every week so not much is left to the imagination.

Confidential gets 4/5 stars this week.

I liked the show. Didn't see the whole thing, but what I saw was entertaining- when it's not a rerun, Confidential is actually a very cool show.

I thought the Wrestlemania Retro was very cool. Christians memories of Wrestlemania were interesting, and I hope they continue to do segments like this one leading up to WM to get us hyped up for the biggest show of the year.

The Playboy segment was alright, but nothing out of the ordinary- it seemed to be mostly recycled footage from Sable and Chyna's Playboy stints. Regardless, hearing the Big Show tell us about how pretty Torrie is was somewhat amusing. I can't wait for Torrie's edition of Playboy to come out though- I'm pretty excited about it, let me tell you.

Y2J vs. Roddy Piper was amusing in the fantasy matchup. I think Jericho would win hands down (but I'm a Jericho mark)- he's quicker, more athletic, and more entertaining all around.

It's interesting to see the King in a normal situation, where he isn't drooling over puppies. He actually is a very talented artist.

Rhyno's comments were interesting.

Really, who cares about the Big Show in a Stacker 2 commercial?

Stacy shopping for thongs was very nice. Very nice. :D

Trish and Lita claiming they won't do Playboy but would probably reconsider in the future is loosley translated as: "I haven't been asked yet." At least that's what I'm hoping. :)

Fantasy Warfare is always great and Rowdy Roddy Piper “taking on” Chris Jericho certainly was interesting. I liked getting the perspectives of Tom Prichard and Gerald Brisco in this matter. The promos between the two certainly would have been something to hear. I found it interesting that the vote was split 2-2. I guess I’m not sure who I would go with I remember after I met Piper, I told my friend how much I would enjoy seeing Piper and The Rock do a promo together. The match would stink, but the promor would be classic.
