AL SNOW What can be said about Al Snow that hasn't been said a thousand times before? I really miss seeing this guy in the ring, and now down in OVW as head trainer, so chances are we won't see him wrestle on Raw or Smackdown ever again!
	BATISTA Batista has had an awesome year... He's completely found his niche and proven to be one of the most popular World Champs since the Rock/Austin era. The only problem with being on Smackdown though is there isn't a whole lot of big feuds for him to keep that momentum rolling.
	BOBBY LASHLEY Could he be the new Brock Lesnar? He's got the right build, intensity and hard-hitting moveset, but we're really yet to see if Lashley can actually put together awesome wrestling matches like Brock could.
	THE BOOGEYMAN He's the Boogeyman...and he's coming to getcha! Who'd have thought eating worms and weird looking body spasms would get over in this day and age?
	BOOKER T There were rumours going around that Booker was thinking of retiring around Wrestlemania this year, but obviously that's not the case for this five time WCW Champion as he signed a two year extension to his current deal and went on to pick up a few US Titles to celebrate! SUCKA!!
	BRIAN KENDRICK The return of Spanky is another great addition to the Smackdown locker room, and it's cool to see his team with Paul London brought back. Let's just hope for a decent push for the duo though so that they can get to show off their awesome skills!
	CHRIS BENOIT Wrestlemania 20 will go down in history books as the greatest night of the career of Chris Benoit and I can't think of anyone who deserved the World Title more. He can have a good-to-great match with pretty much ANYONE and is the absolute king of selling! Raw's loss is definitely Smackdown's gain!
	DAIVARI It's good to see Daivari back and still shouting in a language we don't understand. He had a decent run as Kurt Angle's manager/personal referee, but now he's acquired the services of the World's Strongest Man!
	DOUG BASHAM Hey, let's split up one of the few tag teams we've got left for no discernable reason! Yeah, great idea! Let's have a raise too!
	FUNAKI Smackdown Number 1 Announcer, when in actual fact, he's an interviewer.... Man, someone screwed up there. Almost as big a screw up as putting the Crusierweight Title on him when he hadn't wrestled, let alone WON a match in years!!
	GREGORY HELMS It was a brave move to drop the Hurricane gimmick, but something I think Helms needed to do if his career was going to go anywhere. As it happens though, he's not done a whole lot since to actually take that next step forward.
	HARDCORE HOLLY The last thing I want to see is Baldcore Holly challenging for the WWE Title TWICE IN ONE YEAR!! Especially when given a couple of months he's right back on Velocity anyway. The funniest thing I heard was him starting a wrestling school...because who doesn't want to be bullied by Big Bad Bob?
	JAMIE NOBLE Noble is the epitome of trailer park trash. His country accent grinds on me like a cheese grater on, er, cheese.... It's good to see him back with the WWE, as he's one hell of a talent, and hopefully he could help improve the lagging Cruiser division!
	JOEY MERCURY You might recognise him as Joey Matthews in the last days of ECW, but I guess Mercury has a better ring to it when combined with Nitro. I'm liking MNM at the moment though, and see great things for this trio in the future!
	JOHN BRADSHAW LAYFIELD I don't care what anyone thinks of his wrestling, but the gimmick is gold!! No surprise there, since it's obviously a reworking of the Million Dollar Man's schtick, but hey? JBL's pulling it off on that front. Do I think he should have been WWE Champion though? URGH!! No way... He makes a great main event heel but he shouldn't hold the main title ever again!
	JOHNNY HENNIGAN BLAZE SPADE NITRO I was a big fan of Nitro's in his brief stint on Raw as Eric Bischoff's assistant, so it's good to see him back on TV again! MNM is a pretty cool concept and hopefully it'll take them far!
	JOSH MATHEWS He may have given up his dreams of wrestling to co-present Velocity and interview on Smackdown, but poor Josh Mathews certainly gets his fair share of verbal and physical ass kickings!
	KEN KENNEDY MISTERRRRRR... KENNEDY!! (...dramatic pause...) KENNEDY!! This guy is freakin' awesome. Not only can he go in the ring but he's got fantastic charisma and a bad ass gimmick. I can't wait for him to come back from injury and start kicking ass again! KENNEDY!!
	KID KASH Man, what an awesome heel Kash is... It's a mentality that's old school to the bone and something I really miss in wrestling. You get too many guys trying to be bad asses these days rather than being assholes, but Kash pulls it off perfectly. It's a shame he couldn't keep his mouth shut about how bad he thought TNA was though!
	KURT ANGLE He's your Olympic Hero and mine, and Kurt's move back to Smackdown is sure to help give the show some more of the credibility it's been lacking. A World Title reign is definitely overdue after his long-running feud with Cena led to nothing, and here's hoping Kurt can lead Smackdown into 2006 and prove he's still got the gift!!
	MARK HENRY Finally, Mark Henry's 10 year contract is coming to an end and we won't have to put up with him on TV anymore. No offence to the World's Strongest Man, but honestly, what has he done over the past 10 years that justified such a contract in the first place?
	MATT HARDY I've always preferred Matt to Jeff, and felt sympathy for him due to the whole Edge/Lita situation, but I'm not a big fan of his Net rants on the subject. However, his return to the WWE might not have been the best idea in retrospect as there just seems to be no chance of him being pushed strongly.
	MELINA She is the perfect manager for Nitro and Mercury, and as I've already said, MNM has had a great start to their WWE careers thus far. It's just a shame there aren't any tag teams for them to go up against!
	MICHAEL COLE Whilst there's been some definite improvement in his work, I still can't help but think of Cole as a wiener. And a hypocrite too... Remember all the Smackdown's he'd complain about Chavo cheating and then laugh about Eddie doing the same thing? ARGH!
	MICHELLE MCCOOL Another useless Diva Search waste of space, but at least Michelle is attempting to learn how to wrestle and actually earn her spot on the roster, rather than stand around and look stupid like the rest of them.
	NUNZIO They gave him his own group, all of which were imitating Italian Sorprano-esque gangsters, as well as the name F.B.I too.... Yet it was all for nothing as poor the F.B.I were broken up and Nunzio's off the radar again!
	ORLANDO JORDAN Even though he was introduced in much the same way as John Cena, he's not had even come close to having the same sort of impact! Rumour has it that he and former TNA diva Trinity will be involved in some three way angle where it's revealed OJ is bisexual. Smell the ratings!!!
	PAUL BURCHILL Ask anyone and they'll tell you I'm a big fan of pirates, but is that really the best way to help get Burchill over? I mean, he's a really talented wrestler and would be perfect in the Benoit mold, but apparently, this man who could be a potential future world champ is gonna be a scurvy sea dog instead!
	PAUL LONDON Finally, they give London a chance to shine and what does he do? He takes it with open arms! Unfortunately though, he's pretty much being made a fool out of, as London can't even seem to finish a match without some kind of interference or cheating!
	PSICOSIS I haven't been too impressed with Psicosis so far, but you can't knock the guy's enthusiasm! He's had a huge smile on his face ever since he came back, and you can tell he has a genuine passion for what he's doing!
	RANDY ORTON I've got mixed feelings about Randy. Although I don't think he deserves half the stick he gets from the Net fans, the never-ending feud with the Undertaker hasn't really helped matters, nor the fact that he ended up losing it for some bizarre reason. Here's hoping 2006 will see him get back on track again!
	REY MYSTERIO Holy lucha libre! Rey Mysterio never fails to deliver when he wrestles, what with all his flying and jumping about like a buzzed up baby kangaroo. I'd like to see if the WWE have the balls to one day push him into World Title contention... He's definitely got the crowd support to make it work!
	ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL Is it really necessary to have Animal still on Smackdown... It was a nice run with Heidenreich, but rumour seems to have it that he'll be getting repackaged and keep his spot on SD!, despite the fact he can't wrestle singles match without breaking his insurance policy with Lloyds of London.
	SCOTTY 2 HOTTY I hate to say it but Scotty 2 Hotty is SO 2000. Talk about needing to change/update your gimmick!
	SHARMELL Booker's wife first appeared on Smackdown a few years ago as an interviewer, and now she's back helping out her man! And boy, has she ever seemed to light a fire underneath Booker or what!!
	SIMON DEAN Wow, the promo's hyping the debut of Simon Dean were absolutely hilarious, although the transition from video to wrestler hasn't gone quite so smoothly. Still, he's easily one of THE most entertaining folks on the roster, and you can't really argue with that!
	STACY KIEBLER Hey, we've finally got a role for Stacy Kiebler but we aren't too interested in pushing those two guys with her...let's send her to Smackdown instead!
	STEVEN RICHARDS So the bWo got canned after a couple of appearances and now Stevie's disappeared off the radar. What a damn shame!! I'm kinda hoping Stevie leaves and heads over to TNA where he can be reunited with Raven and actually be allowed to wrestle again, but that's probably just wishful thinking!
	SUPER CRAZY It'll be interesting to see how Crazy's style is affected by having to wrestle in the WWE manner, as he probably won't be able to do nearly as much of the high flying stuff! Still, it's good to see him back on TV again!
	SYLVAN Formerly one half of La Resistance and now a 'Fashion consultant', you may also recognize him as the fella that was used as the referee during the Wrestlemania XIX Vince/Hogan Match... Then again, you might not.
	TAZZ To say he's improved as a commentator would be a drastic understatement. He's probably become my favourite commentator thanks to his good humour and great background knowledge on wrestling holds and the like.
	THEODORE LONG B'lee Dat, Playa!! It didn't make any sense to move him from Raw originally, but obviously the WWE had a plan. He was waiting in the wings for when Angle stopped being GM, and now Theodore Long is the man in charge!
	UNDERTAKER I was somewhat under whelmed by the Taker that we saw at Mania in 2004, but then, I realized I was expecting too much and I really needed to give it a chance. Only thing is, how could I give him a chance when he all but disappeared for a few weeks. And then when he comes back, he embarks on possibly one of the worst storylines ever where he ends up 'killing' Paul Bearer (or at least severely injuring him) and then we're supposed to cheer the guy?!? Absolutely crazy!! And honestly, is it really necessary to have him completely squash each opponent in all the feud's he takes part in when he could instead be putting over this new generation of superstars to help prepare the future of the business?
	WILLIAM REGAL He's a man.... Such a man's man! Or at least, he used to be, before he disappeared off the face of the earth. For anyone that missed it (which I imagine means most of you), Regal had a couple of CLASSIC matches with Benoit on Velocity!

	BIG SHOW Weeeeeell.... Well it's the Big Slow! Some people may have grown tired of seeing him in main events... Not me! He's had a great few years now and has improved a great deal too. Kudos to the Show and long may you continue to kick ass!
	CARLITO Thank god they dropped the 'Caribbean Cool' part of his name... Talk about totally unnecessary! Carlito's had a REALLY strong start to his Raw career, just like he did on Smackdown! He continues to improve in the ring, and Mr. Cool definitely has a fan in me!
	CHAVO GUERRERO I enjoyed the Kerwin White gimmick (when they actually bothered to feature him on TV anyway) but it's good to see Chavo drop it all and go back to his Guerrero roots!
	CHRIS MASTERS The Masterpiece had probably the most embarrassing debut I can remember seeing this side of the Shockmaster. And will someone explain to me why he's the Masterpiece anyway? There are plenty more guys on Raw who look more ripped than this guy!
	THE COACH I for one couldn't believe it when the Coach turned heel, but I gotta say, I prefer him this way. He plays the part as if he was born to, and his addition to the Raw Announce Team has worked out pretty damn well!
	DANNY BASHAM Man, I feel sorry for Danny... It seems he's going to get completely lost in the shuffle on Raw, and judging from the past six months, he's lucky if he even appears on Heat regularly!
	EDGE What a start to 2006 for Edge! I've been predicting it for the past two years, but finally, he won the big one in an awesome angle! I honestly don't think he'll keep the belt for longer than the Rumble, but then the unpredictability of him even winning the gold in the first place makes me totally unsure of what can happen next!
	EUGENE It's not my place to judge Nick 'Eugene' Dinsmore with his problems outside the ring, so I won't do so. What I will say though is that he is certainly lucky to still have a job with the E and I hope he realizes that.
	GENE SNITSKY This guy has a chin of Desperate Dan proportions and some of the craziest facial expressions of all time! Since the Baby Killer angle ran it's course though, so has Snitsky in my book... What else is there left for him to do?
	GOLDUST Well, what a surprise! Dusty Rhodes joins the WWE Creative Team and guess what? His boy's been resigned by the E! I really can't see Goldust doing anything much of note but rumors have it he may team with Hacksaw Jim Duggan which would be...er, interesting!
	JERRY 'THE KING' LAWLER I don't know about you, but his commentating is beginning to get pretty irritating. It has got a lot better over the past year or so, but for the love of God, we know you love puppies Jerry... Get over it!
	JOEY STYLES "OH MY GOD!!" may not have been the most imaginative catchphrase of all time, but you can be damn sure it's one that will be stuck with Joey Styles for many years to come! It's great to see and hear him once again on a regular basis, and please, don't listen to Vince and change your awesome style!
	JOHN CENA I can't blame the E for taking the belt off of Cena. The fans were just turning completely against him as WWE Champion, and I definitely think he has more face-life by chasing the gold rather than holding it. Time to see if that theory's correct though!
	KANE I think Kane is perfect in his role as dominant monster, and has pretty found himself with a solid spot on the card that won't change now until he retires. It's amazing to think that's the case considering the crap storylines he's been put through the best several years too!
	LANCE CADE So, you spend a month building to the debut of a new team, give them the Tag Titles after a month or so...and then mysteriously break them up with no explanation weeks after they lose the gold. Welcome to the whacky world of WWE booking!
	LILIAN GARCIA She's been the ring announcer on Raw for many years now, but the recent angle with Viscera was pretty much the first thing she's ever done outside of introducing wrestlers and singing the national anthem!
	LITA The heel turn was inevitable, as was her aligning with Edge. I've never really been a big fan of Lita, but with Edge on so much of a roll right now, I'm really feeling optimistic as to what the future holds!
	MARIA Do you think the E might be trying to tell her something? You know, what with pretty much labelling her a moron and then getting her to act as dumb as a plank of wood whilst interviewing wrestlers? At least it's entertaining!
	MATT STRIKER Say hello to Dean Douglas '06... I'm surprised Striker still has a job since he was reportedly not the most popular guy in the locker room, but here he is, still kicking it in the E and just waiting to get healthy again so he can start wrestling.
	MICK FOLEY Here's hoping the Mickster will be getting back in the ring at least one more time in the near future! Personally, the guys is one of my all time favourites and I can't wait to see him back in action once again! Especially after that match against Orton at Backlash 2004!!
	RENÉ DUPRÉE I think Dupree could be a star in the future... He certainly seems to have the tools both in the ring and on the mic, and with the right push and some more seasoning, we could certainly see him challenging for a World Title in a few years time!
	RIC FLAIR WOOOOOOOOOOOO! The Nature Boy is in the autumn of his career, and he's still in the thick of things along with HHH!! And who'd have thunk it? He's picked up Tag Team gold TWICE! Naitch rules the school!!
	ROB CONWAY Once, there used to be just the right way or the wrong way but now we have...the Conway!! What does that mean exactly? Er, I'm not entirely sure...
	ROB VAN DAM I can't wait to have RVD back from injury, and he seems to have a ready-made feud with Carlito waiting for him! And that'll probably follow on to yet another reign as IC Champion for the man who's become the perennial mid-card champ in the WWE for years now!
	ROSEY He's a Super Hero In Training no more, as Rosey has finally completed his studying of the arts of being a hero and is now a fully-fledged crime fighter!
	"THE HEARTBREAK KID" SHAWN MICHAELS The only reason I loved wrestling so much back in the early-mid 90's. He is still the Showstoppa, the Icon.... The HeartBreak Kid! So much for that heel turn, eh kiddies? Ah well... I can still live in hope!
	SHELTON BENJAMIN Mr. Benjamin seems to be the WWE's equivalent of AJ Styles in terms of sheer amazing athleticism. However, he just wasn't getting over on his own, but now, thanks in large part to his 'Mamma', I think Shelton could finally start connecting with the audience!
	TODD GRISHAM Wow, if you had to look up the word Pointdexter in the dictionary, I'd bet you'd find a picture of Todd Grisham! He seems alright at his job though so I won't rag on the guy too much... I expect the wrestlers do that for him!
	TORRIE WILSON Aside from being in the occasional Playboy, what does Torrie Wilson actually DO?
	TREVOR MURDOCH I haven't been paying too much attention to the segments with Murdoch apparently reviewing movies, but I'm not sure where it's going. Management are supposed to be high on Murdoch and his awesome ugly face but we're yet to see anything to really prove that rumour correct!
	TRIPLE H 2004 and 2005 made me a fan of Triple H again. He finally put on some great matches, helped put over a lot of younger talent, and relatively kept himself out of the World Title scene for about half the year to allow others to shine (See: Benoit, Orton). And then in 2005, he single-handedly turned Batista into a superstar and left the gold alone again!
	TRISH STRATUS This young Canadian shocked a lot of people when she made the transition from eye candy to wrestler, but I've got to admit, she's done a hell of a job and is now probably one of the best women wrestlers in the business! Fit Finlay, Dean Malenko and William Regal, stand up and take your credit!
	TYSON TOMKO You gotta wonder how long the Problem Solver will last without anyone to solve problems for anymore! Trying to draw his tattoo's though was akin to trying to climb Everest... I got there eventually but MAN did it take a long time!
	VAL VENIS Yeesh, make up your mind... Are you gonna be Sean Morley, Chief Morley, the Big Valbowski, Val Venis or bald-headed wrestler #13595?!? I'm begging you... Make a decision!
	VICTORIA Crazy Victoria's back, which although is good on paper, it means the Women's Division is officially dead as it's comprised almost entirely of heels!
	VISCERA Never been a big fan of this guy in all the years I've seen him, but the big man's actually shown some unknown charisma recently that's put him up oh-so slightly in my estimation. Sexual Chocolate v2.0 anyone?

	AARON 'JESUS' AGUILERA The man formerly known as "Hey-Zeus", fresh from a pretty pointless stint with the WWE is now back on the indy scene again and no doubt looking to prove to his former employees why it was a mistake to release him.
	ABYSS Now here's a big man who seems to be able to wrestle pretty well. At first, I figured it was just a cheap Kane/Mankind rip off, but Abyss certainly seems to be paving a niche all of his own, and for a while there, it looked as if he was WWE bound, but apparently, that's no longer the case!
	ACE STEEL The man that trained CM Punk and is a member of Punk's Second City Saints, but you might also recognize Ace Steel from a Raw in the build-up to Taboo Tuesday. He was the poor soul who offered to have his hair cut by Eugene to demonstrate what might (and did) happen to Eric Bischoff at the PPV!
	AJ STYLES Former three-time NWA:TNA Champion and several time X-Division Champ, it's good to finally be able to see AJ in action, as well as so many other wrestlers I had only heard about. Simply phenomenal.
	'A-1' ALASTAIR RALPHS I haven't really seen much of him in the ring, but he does look like a bit of a generic big man. And what does the whole A-1 thing stand for anyway?
	ALEX SHANE British born and bred, Alex Shane is the most hated man in the FWA, as well as being the current British Heavyweight Champion!! He's so bad, he even dared to punk out boxer Danny Williams!!
	ALEX SHELLEY I've not really had an opportunity to see this former 'Baby Bear', as he was dubbed by TNA, in action but I've heard nothing but good things. He's just formed a team with Michael Shane which sounds pretty bad ass to me!
	AMAZING RED This guy has wrestled under many different guises and many different names, but it's as the Amazing Red that he's probably caught the most attention in both TNA and RoH. A top quality high-flying cruiserweight if ever there was one!
	ANDREW 'TEST' MARTIN To say the man has the charisma of a snail would be an insult to all snails everywhere. That said, I only insult him because Mick Foley made it cool to do so. Still, where the hell was the WWE's class in firing him when he's injured?
	ANDY DOUGLAS One half of the TNA tag champs, The Naturals, Douglas was unfortunately involved in an incident last year where he and fellow TNA wrestler Johnny Divine were attacked outside a nightclub! Luckily, he didn't receive any serious injuries.
	ANDY 'BOY' SIMMONS The British equivalent to Goldberg. Well, maybe not in size and stature, or even aggressiveness, but definitely in terms of popularity! This butler to the Duke of Danger receives huge Goldberg-esque chants every time he's in the ring!
	ANTONIO These guys were just wasted during their entire WWE run... I've heard good things about them but we never really got to see them do much other than jobbing to pretty much every other tag team on Raw.
	AUSTIN ARIES This fella was unheard of in early 2004, when all of a sudden, he had a bunch of stellar matches that caught people off guard. He's fast moved up the RoH ranks and at the last show of 2004, ended Samoa Joe's almost two year reign as RoH Champion before eventually being defeated by CM Punk!
	B-BOY This fella delivers some of the most brutal kicks and dropkicks I've ever seen! I believe he wrestles mostly for CZW and has done a few RoH shows too, but apparently came from out of SOCAL, an organisation based in Southern California!
	B.G. JAMES To casual fans, it's the Road Dogg Jesse James, but for the three years of TNA history, it's B-Jizzle!
	B.J. WHITMER I believe Whitmer is a former IWA Mid-South Champion, as well as former one half of the RoH Tag Champs. Since the release of Dan Maff, it seems as if Whitmer's taken on Jimmy Rave as his new partner.
	BILLY KIDMAN Kidman has been extremely injury prone these past few years, so his release came as little surprise. I could maybe see him hitting TNA in the future, simply because he's one of the most recognisable cruiserweight names in the US, but that'll only be if he can stay fit and healthy!
	BLUE MEANIE I knew it was short term, but man! The Meanie was in and out of the E quicker than a hiccup. Since 3PW has apparently folded, it'll be interested to see where he goes next!
	BOBBY ROODE A card-carrying member of Team Canada as well as one former half of the NWA TNA Tag Team Champions alongside Eric Young, you better say nice things about Canada or else this Chris Pontius look-a-like won't be happy!
	BROCK LESNAR So much for a return to the E! Whilst it could happen at some point down the road, I'd really like to see Brock hit the bright shores of TNA once his lawsuit with Vince and co. is over, since I think he'd be another fantastic addition to their roster!
	'AMERICAN DRAGON' BRYAN DANIELSON Widely thought to be THE best wrestler in the world today, despite what the PWI Top 500 says, I haven't really seen enough of the Dragon's matches to have an opinion. However, from what I have seen, I can definitely see where people are coming from... Plus, you gotta love the whole Jedi cloak and 'homeless' beard thing too!
	BROTHER DEVON DEADLY You've been shown the door by your employees after years of loyal service over a supposed pay dispute. What do you do next? TESTIFY!!
	BROTHER RAY DEADLY I can't say I was surprised by the Dudleyz being released, even after their great showing at One Night Stand. Japan seems like a good option to me, but a few appearances in TNA wouldn't go amiss either. How does being the only team to capture WWE, WCW, ECW and NWA Tag Titles sound?
	CHARLIE HAAS This was a shocking one... Charlie had just got married, and seemed to be in the same vein as Shelton Benjamin. But where as his former partner flourished, he was forgotten about. I think he could make a big splash in RoH in the near future!
	CHASE STEVENS The other half of the Naturals, Stevens and Douglas continue to be a big part of the TNA tag team division and help put it on the map.
	CHRIS HARRIS One half of America's Most Wanted, Harris took a break from the tag team scene midway during 2004 to go on a quest for the World Title. However, like so many others, it was a case of so close yet so far for the Wildcat.
	CHRIS HERO I've not watched a lot of CZW, but from what I have seen, Hero seems to be pretty solid. Both in the ring and out, Hero has a cool gimmick, can deliver good promos, and even better still, he can actually wrestle too!
	CHRIS SABIN Hail Sabin! Hail Sabin! He's an X-Division pioneer and probably one of the best wrestlers that TNA have to offer. He's also pretty nifty when it comes to those awesome Ultimate X matches too!
	CHRISTIAN CAGE Kudos for Christian having the balls to be the first man to join TNA voluntarily over the WWE! Hopefully my favourite wrestler will now get that damn push into the main event that I've been clammering for for years!!
	CHRISTOPHER DANIELS AKA, The Fallen Angel. The Wrestling Channel has allowed me to open my eyes to stuff other than the WWE, and I gotta say, I'm loving Christopher Daniels' work. He's the kind of talent I hope DOESN'T get picked up the WWE so he can continue doing his thing, instead of being forced to become the next Portuguese Man O'War or something.
	CHUCK PALUMBO After finally being given a gimmick (even if it was as 'Chucky P', useless mechanic), Chuck Palumbo was finally given his marching orders by the WWE. Can't say that I'm all that surprised, but it seems as if he remains on good terms with his former employees, who've helped him head over to Japan to learn some more valuable experience.
	CM PUNK Probably my favourite Indy wrestler, Punk is a truly classic heel. He lives life by straight-edge, meaning no drugs, no alcohol and none of life's temptations, which makes him a helluva lot better than me or you! He's just recently signed a development deal with the WWE, so hopefully we'll be seeing him on Raw or Smackdown soon!
	COLT CABANA A member of CM Punk's Second City Saints, Cabana seems to be a pretty cool guy. And let's face it, how can you not respect someone who comes to the ring as 'Copa Cabana' blasts over the PA?
	D-LO BROWN I was never really down with the Brown before, but it was good to see D-Lo in action again whilst it lasted! You better recognise!
	DAN MAFF Maff sometimes goes by the name Mafia on the Indy's, and this hard hitting wrestler has appeared for most of the big promotions out there. However, some recent controversy between him and Homicide has meant his removal from all future ROH and NJPW shows... How bizarre!
	DAWN MARIE You sink to a new low when you release a pregnant woman...then again, at least the E bought out the rest of her contract, meaning she won't be broke, but still! Doesn't Johnny Ace have any principles?!
	DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE We all thought his wrestling career was over once DDP 'retired' back in 2002, leaving the WWE and seemingly disappearing off the radar. Yet he's back again although no longer with TNA after Dusty stepped down as Booker and a NWA World Title reign seemed out of the question!
	DIRK FEELGOOD He's a doctor by day, but an evil WRESTLING doctor by night!! He's the one and only Dirk Feelgood, and he's also a fan of the SPWF!
	DOUG WILLIAMS Without a doubt, one of the best technical wrestlers in the world today! My ultimate dream match would be Doug versus Chris Benoit... Holy crap, that would be awesome!
	DUKE OF DANGER One half of Hampton Court, who up until earlier this year had been FWA Tag Team Champions, the Duke is the lord and master of Simmons.
	DUSTIN RHODES This former Goldust could make a good mid-card hand, but he was being over-pushed by his Dad, so it wasn't really shocking to see him leave TNA as soon as his old man did!
	DUSTY RHODES All credit to Dusty for trying to put TNA on the map, but there were just too many bad decisions on his part that didn't help the product to it's full potential. The new booking team certainly seem to be doing better though!
	'PRIME TIME' ELIX SKIPPER Formerly one half of Triple X along with Christopher Daniels, Skipper has always been a great wrestler. And after that Six Sides of Steel Cage match at Turning Point, he's going to be remembered for a long time to come!
	'SHOWTIME' ERIC YOUNG Along with Bobby Roode, was one of the new members of Team Canada brought in during the World X Cup last year, and has gone on to achieve some pretty decent success since by winning the Tag Titles with Roode!
	ERIK WATTS Generally regarded as a waste of space by most internet reports I read, I've never really seen the guy all that much other than on the mic a few times and even on the odd occasion, in the ring too!
	FRANKIE KAZARIAN Well, that lasted long... Seems the E wasn't to Frankie's liking and I really can't blame him after his huge push on Velocity which all of 3 people probably saw. He's heading back to the Indy's though to actually wrestle once again!
	GANGREL I gotta admit, it was good to see Gangrel on TV again. I always liked the character and felt he's consistently been a good wrestler too, but that didn't save him from being released before he could even redebut on TV again!
	GIANT BERNARD The name Albert was bad. The name A-Train was worse. Baldo Train was worse yet, but Giant Bernard? That's almost worst thing of all... Instead, that honour goes to being fired whilst Tyson Tomko is still on the WWE roster!
	GRAND MASTER SEXAY Meh... Never been a fan of the Grand Master and not a big fan of this particular picture either. But then, I just have no motivation to want to draw the guy anyway.
	HECTOR GARZA You gotta love Garza's cockiness. I mean, the whole 'getting down on his knees and offering out his hand' schtick is what really made me like the former Team Mexico captain when I first saw him. 2005 was looking to be a breakout year for him in TNA, but after some scandal, that doesn't look too likely anymore!
	HEIDENREICH I can't believe he kept his job for this long but finally, he's been shown the door. Whilst I'll put my hand up and admit Heidenreich could be entertaining, he was definitely one of the worst wrestlers I've ever seen!
	HOMICIDE He's apparently improved by leaps and bounds over 2004 and many tipped 'Cide to be the one to finally dethrone Samoa Joe as ROH Champ, but alas, it wasn't to be. Still, he'll no doubt continue to be in the hunt for the gold during 2005!
	JACK EVANS One of THE most acrobatic wrestlers alive today, Jack Evans can perform some of the damnedest looking flips and flops you can imagine. He's almost as agile as a real-life Spiderman, although to the best of my knowledge, he isn't able to shoot webbing from his wrists.
	JACK XAVIER One of the FWA's rising stars, you've gotta believe that it's only a matter of time before he captures the All-England Title! Not only that, but Xavier's also an SPWF fan as well!
	JACKIE GAYDA Miss Jackie never really advanced as a wrestler at all since her Tough Enough win, so it'll be interesting to see where her career goes post WWE.
	JAMES STORM The other half of America's Most Wanted, Storm doesn't get nearly as much attention as his partner but that shouldn't take anything away from him. And just to go on a tangent here, I wonder if he's related to Lance or Jonny?
	JAY BRISCOE One half of the Briscoe Brothers (no, not Gerry and Jack!), Jay and Mark have been involved in a lot of high profile matches over the course of 2004. They've individually challenged Samoa Joe for the ROH Title as well as pick up the Tag Titles too!
	JEFF HARDY Most casual fans seem to love Jeff Hardy with a passion, but to be honest, I've always preferred Matt. Seems he's still up to his old tricks of showing up to shows late (or not at all), and it's going to come back and bite him in the ass soon!
	JEFF JARRETT "Choke on that, Slapnutz!" used to be my number one saying at school. In my opinion, JJ was the bee's knee's, but it's good to see him take a step away from the NWA World Title so as to give TNA a chance to create some new stars!
	JERRY LYNN Former ECW World Champion and wrestling veteran, it was good to see Jerry Lynn return to TNA early 2004 and get back in the thick of things again as Captain of Team TNA in the X-Cup. And at long last, he's finally come back from another injury as well!
	JIMMY JACOBS I think Jacobs works predominantly for IWA Mid-South and ROH, and from what I've seen, he's a solid hand in the ring. He kinda reminds me of a new age Bezerker... I think it's the boots. And the 'Huss!'ing too!
	JIMMY RAVE Rave has wrestled all over the place, but seems to have mainly made his name in CZW before recently hitting it big in RoH as part of Prince Nana's Embassy. From what I've seen, he's got tons of high flying ability as well as some nifty mat work too!
	JIMMY YANG He was one of the best wrestlers on Smackdown, supposedly putting together a great series of matches with Paul London, but it wasn't enough to save his job. I predict him heading to RoH and TNA in the near future!
	JOHNNY DEVINE Devine was unfortunately stabbed last year when out in Tennessee, but luckily, he came through it OK only to be struck down with further injuries since his return! The WWE seemingly played off this long-standing Team Canada member's woes with the whole Cena being stabbed angle from last year too! Sketchy!!
	JOHNNY FAIRPLAY Remind me why this guy has a contract again? Sure, the whole rub from being on Survivor was nice exposure, but surely that's starting to wear off by now. I mean, if there's one thing reality TV has taught me, it's that it's stars have a shelf-life of about a year tops, and that's gotta make Mr. Fairplay useless by now... Right?
	JOHNNY KASHMERE One half of the Backseat Boyz, and MAN! What a tag team they are! In an age where tag team wrestling seems to be going down the pan, Kashmere and Trent Acid are pulling off new and exciting double team moves that more than make up for it! Alas, Kashmere is currently on a break from pro-wrestling though.
	JOHNNY "THE BULL" STAMBOLI Poor Johnny 'The Bull'. He was starting to really improve in the ring and then WHAM! He's released! Still, it's good to see he's keeping busy over in Japan where I believe he recently made his debut under the guise of the Great Muta, before going back to being Johnny The Bull again!
	JUSTIN CREDIBLE It's a shame the way the WWE handled this former ECW Champion when he was there, and it looks as if he's never really recovered since. Not sure if he still wrestles for Ring of Honor, but I don't think he's a regular part of any other Indy promotions out there, at least, not that I know of.
	JUVENTUD GUERRERA Yeesh, way to blow a golden opportunity Juvi. The Juice honestly believed himself to be an even bigger star than the Rock, was an a-hole backstage, used other wrestlers moved and was a constant pain in the backside of road agents, so it came as no surprise to hear of Juvi's release!
	JYUSHIN THUNDER LYGER Lyger is the definitive cruiserweight... He can go to the air as well as take opponents to the mat, and I bet Vince would love to have him on Smackdown! This guy's so awesome he's actually the person who invented the Shooting Star Press! Beat THAT!
	KENZO SUZUKI It seems incredible that when Kenzo was first coming into the E, there was talk of an immediate World Title program with Chris Benoit. A little over a year later and the all-singing, all-dancing Kenzo Suzuki has been released!
	KEVIN NASH Wow, what can be said about Big Sexy's last run with the WWE? Not much, seeing as he spent most of the time injured. He's all healed up now though and had a nice little run with TNA before ducking out to film a movie. Will he be back? Who knows!
	BILLY GUNN THE OUTLAW KIP JAMES The man formerly known as Billy Gunn has been forced to change his name many times, since the WWE own the rights to it (it ain't his real name y'see). First he was the New Age Outlaw, then the plain old Outlaw, and now Kip James, he's currently an associate of Jeff Jarrett.
	KONNAN Member of the Three Live Kru, Konnan seems to be having some problems with B.G James over his past with the man formerly known as Billy Gunn. Who knows where this'll all end, but my money's on B.G siding with his old partner at the end of it!
	L.A. PARK Formerly known as La Parka, the man is the Chairman of the Board! Whatever Board that might be since the shutdown of WCW, I'm not too sure, but if anyone was wondering why he's not La Parka anymore, it's because AAA in Mexico own the rights to the name and won't let him use it! Bastards!
	LANCE HOYT AKA, the man formerly known as Dallas. He just decided to start using his real name, y'see. Apparently, this big man is quite the high flyer, as well as being a former two-time NWA Tag Champion along with his 'cousin' Kid Kash! What ya' gonna do when Hoytamania runs wild on you?!
	LOW-KI I've watched a couple of matches between Low-Ki and Amazing Red from both TNA and ROH, and my God... It was immense! They clicked together so well, I almost shed a tear of appreciation! That said, I wouldn't like to be on the end of one of Low-Ki's kicks though!
	MARK BRISCOE The other Briscoe Brother, and like I said, it was quite a first half of 2004 for these guys. Plus, they've had Jim Cornette managing them in the past as well as an ROH Tag Title reign, so what more could you ask for?
	MARK JINDRAK Jindrak could be a potentially great big man wrestler, but he was never going to fit in with the WWE style... I wasn't a huge fan of the guy myself, and I can't really see where he might show up in the coming weeks!
	MARTY JANNETTY Wow... His comeback matches with Shawn Michaels and against Kurt Angle just brought the memories flooding back! He may be 45, but Marty can still go, so it's a shame that his big comeback was cut short before he could even fully return!
	MATT BENTLEY The man formerly known as Michael Shane is Shawn Michaels cousin/nephew depending on who you believe, has been forced to change his name to the other Mike Shane (now under WWE contract!). He's been a TNA mainstay for quite some time, and it's about time Mr. Bentley was given a bigger push in my opinion!
	MATT HYSON The man formerly known as Spike was probably one of the most out-spoken former WWE employees after Black Wednsday, and I wish him all the best. He sincerely seems to love this business and can't wait to be able to get back doing what he loves the best...actually wrestling!
	MATT MORGAN So Heidenreich has a job but Matt Morgan doesn't? The poor guy wasn't given the best opportunity what with being being lumbered with the whole stuttering gimmick, but hopefully he'll be able to really let loose and come into his own free of the WWE!
	MATT STRYKER One of two Matt Stryker's on the Indy circuit (the other is spelt Striker), you can always recognise this ROH mainstay by his trademark unibrow. Plus, you might recognise him from the final Smackdown of 2004 when he took place in the Kurt Angle Invitational!
	MAVEN Poor Maven. He'd done everything the E had asked of him, but it was never enough. His heel turn breathed some new life into the guy, but it was apparently too little, too late. It'll be interesting to see if he continues to wrestle or goes back to his teaching job.
	MIKEY WHIPWRECK He's one of three men to ever hold the ECW Triple Crown, and the first to do so! Mikey actually retired in late 2001, but has since returned to the square circle more for his love of wrestling than anything else!
	MOLLY HOLLY It comes as no surprise that Molly asked for her release, especially after the way the Women's Divison has been treated in recent months, but this is terrible news for the WWE. All the best to Molly in her future endeavours and hopefully she won't be mistreated like the last year or so of her WWE run again!
	MONTY BROWN I've not seen a great deal of Monty Brown in action yet, but from what I have, it's not hard to see why the fans have gotten behind him. He's charismatic, can tell a good story in the ring, and has a gimmick that's awesome! May 2005 be the year of Monty Brown!
	NEW JACK Rumours have been abound for months that New Jack has apparently signed for the WWE and will be taking credit as the guy who stabbed John Cena way back when, but nothing seems to be coming together. Could it be that an internet rumour wasn't true?!?
	PETEY WILLIAMS Holy crap!! The Canadian Destroyer is by far the best finishing move I've seen in a LONG, LONG while! For those that haven't seen it, I highly recommend you find a clip anywhere you can because it's a sight to see! It's hard to believe Petey's only been wrestling a few years, but it's the truth!
	'MACHO MAN' RANDY SAVAGE So, you show up on TNA's first big PPV and bump into Hulk Hogan. Due to your long-standing dislike of the Hulkster, you decide to leave and screw up TNA's plans, that is, until Jeff Jarrett can sweet talk you into returning. Only once you learn there are no plans of putting the World Title on you, you're gone again. Welcome to the wacky world of Randy Savage folks!
	RAVEN I've been clammering for Raven to be pushed for YEARS, and finally, it's happened! The guy can make any feud entertaining, and it's fantastic to see him being showcased to his potential for the first time in years!
	REY MISTERIO SR No, not Rey's Dad but his Uncle, and the original Rey Misterio. He helped train his nephew and currently still wrestles in Mexico fairly frequently!!
	RHINO It's good to see Rhino bouncing back from a rough period in his life to rekindle his passion for wrestling and be featured pretty highly in TNA already. Hopefully the future will get even better for this former ECW alumni!
	RIKISHI Apparently, Rikishi's release had been a long time coming, and personally, I can only take so much of a fat guy dancing in a thong, so I'm not entirely disappointed. It'll be interesting to see if he ever shows up in TNA and if so, what Double J will do with him.
	RODNEY MACK I guess the WWE got fed up of Backing the Mack and waiting for something to happen in response. Still, like Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli, Rodney's heading off to Japan to ply his trade, and all the best to him!
	ROMEO The other half of the Heart Throbs, who when you think about it, are just another rehash of the Ambiguously Gay Duo gimmick that has been done to death over the past ten years or so!
	ROWDY RODDY PIPER Boy, it was good to see Hot Rod back. But then he had to go and open his back mouth and well, he's gone again. It looks as if he might be getting back involved with WWE though, having made a few special appearances recently. Also, he was co-presenter on the ill-fated Celebrity Wrestling program in the UK!
	RODERICK STRONG I've seen quite a few matches involving Strong, and what can I say? He's looked really good. Another member of Generation Next, some are predicting him to have a breakout year and I'm inclined to agree! He too recently wrestled in the Kurt Angle Invitational!
	RON 'THE TRUTH' KILLINGS Anyone remember K-Kwik? Then you'll already be familiar with Ron Killings, former two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion! As part of the 3 Live Kru with Konnan and B.G. James, he doesn't seem to be up to a whole lot at the moment.
	SAKODA Not really had much of an opportunity to check him out in the ring, but what was the point in signing him if a) they didn't think he was ready to be on Smackdown, b) they broke up Tajiri's group within a couple of months and c) they fired him a few months after that as well!?
	SAMOA JOE What is it with lengthy title reigns these days? Last year, Triple H and Jeff Jarrett both went on mammoth title runs, but Samoa Joe's with the ROH Title just completely eclipses both of them!! He was Champ for almost TWO years until Austin Aries unseated him on the final ROH show of 2004, and is now taking TNA by storm!
	THE SANDMAN He has the best entrance in professional wrestling/sports entertainment/whatever you want to call it, and it was certainly one of the highlights of One Night Stand for me!
	SCOTT HALL Hall seems to be losing the battle with alcohol that has plagued his career, and it's sad to see when you consider how great of a wrestler he used to be. We can only hope he isn't another case of a wrestler dying before their time.
	SCOTT D'AMORE Head coach of Team Canada, you've got to respect a guy who isn't afraid to use a hockey stick to give his team the advantage. He's actually one of TNA's head bookers as well, I think I'd be correct in saying...
	SEAN O'HAIRE The 'Devil's Advocate' gimmick could have been pretty interesting.... Unfortunately for Sean though, things went downhill the moment Roddy Piper was fired, and now he's currently trying to break into the shoot fight business.
	SEAN WALTMAN The former X-Pac has had some tough problems to come over the last couple of years, but by all accounts, it seems as if he's doing well and is being given a deserved second chance by TNA! Let's hope Waltman makes good use of it, without following the same path as Scott Hall!
	SHAGGY 2 DOPE One half of the ICP, these two clowns have appeared in most wrestling promotions, from WWF, WCW and ECW, to ROH and NWA TNA, as well as their own promotion, JCW. Juggalo Championshit Wrestling. And no, that ain't a typo...
	SHANNON MOORE The original MF'er, Shannon went through a lot to learn the ways of Mattitude, eventually coming out of it as the Prince of Punk. However, this royalty was shown the door by the E in the recent cuts, and I can't say I was much surprised to see him go.
	SHARK BOY How can you not love someone known as Shark Boy? Obviously fans in Orlando don't have a response, as they've made Shark Boy one of the most popular superstars at recent TNA Impact tapings!!
	SONJAY DUTT The 2004 winner of the Best of the Best tournament in CZW, Sonjay's career has definitely been on the up in all promotion's he's wrestled for! He's the Playa from the Himalayas and you better believe it!
	SONNY SIAKI He's been one of TNA's most consistent wrestlers over the past few years, but his role on the shows seem to have diminished slightly as of late. Here's hoping 2005 will see Siaki get back in the thick of things again!
	STEVE CORINO I've always liked Steve Corino. He's a good wrestler, a great talker, and he can bleed like a stuffed pig! Currently, I think the King of Old School is mostly doing international tours as well as random US shows, but now that the ROH controversy seems to have cleared up, here's hoping he heads back that way!
	SUPER DRAGON From Southern California where he runs his own Pro-Wrestling Guerrilla promotion, Super Dragon is one of the most hardest hitting and talented men on the Indy circuit today! Watch out for the Curb Stomp!
	TEDDY HART This nephew of Bret 'Hitman' Hart may have a huge reputation of being his own biggest fan, but by all accounts, he can go in the ring! And to be fair, there haven't been as many of his misdemeanours splashed over the net in the last few years either, so maybe Teddy's finally growing up?
	TRENT ACID He makes up the other half of the Backseat Boyz, but also is quite the prominent singles wrestler. At least, that's the impression I got when watching a couple of random CZW shows anyway.
	ULTIMO DRAGON Built up in much the same way as Rey Mysterio, it's kinda sad that Ultimo Dragon didn't had even a tenth of the impact. He went on a break to Japan to help his own promotion, but it looks very much like he won't ever be coming back!
	VAMPIRO He's probably best known for his run in the dying days of WCW, but Vampiro is quite the accomplished wrestler of 20 years, having travelled all over the world! Plus, he's probably got one of the best 'looks' out of all the wrestlers out there!
	VIOLENT J The other half of the Insane Clown Posse, these guys have a built in gimmick that works pretty well. I mean, he isn't afraid of clowns?
	WILLOW THE WISP Jeff Hardy's alter-ego, prior to joining the WWF, as well as the guise he wrestled under in his one and only ROH appearance, only to literally get booed out of the company!
	ZACH GOWEN Wow! That's all I could say when I first saw this guy in action. A one-legged wrestler? You better believe it! And he bumps like crazy too! Zach can currently be found hopping around the independent scene somewhere!

	ANDRE THE GIANT (R.I.P) Forget the Big Show, no-one will ever be as big or as bad as Andre! He went 15 years being undefeated, and it's not hard to understand why!
	ANTONINO ROCCA (R.I.P) This WWE Hall of Famer came all the way from Brazil and was pretty much instrumental in kicking off the high-flying wrestler we see these days. Although tame by today's standards, without guys like Rocca, we wouldn't even have those standards to compare against!
	BIG JOHN STUDD (R.I.P) Perhaps his biggest ever match came at Wrestlemania I when he and Andre the Giant met in a battle of the big men! Andre may have won, but the battle was one that many people have remembered in the years since!
	'SUPERSTAR' BILLY GRAHAM The Superstar is a former WWWF Champion, having defeated Bruno Sammartino for the gold and even wrestled NWA Harley Race in a Unification match that went to a one hour draw back in 1977!! He's the man of the hour, the man with the power, and too sweet to be sour! He's the Superstar!!
	'COWBOY' BOB ORTON Bob Orton may have been a lackey for most of his professional career, but he was one of the best! Strange to think he could find any work though, what with having that arm in a cast for roughly 8 years or so...
	GEORGE 'THE ANIMAL' STEELE The Animal was one of the craziest wrestlers to ever step in the squared circle! I mean, who else do you know that ate turnbuckles on a regular basis?!?
	GRAND WIZARD (R.I.P) He managed such notable wrestling names as 'Superstar' Billy Graham and Sgt. Slaughter during his career, before unfortunately passing away in 1983 due to a heart attack.
	GREG 'THE HAMMER' VALENTINE He's a former IC Champion as well as a Tag Team Champion along with Brutus Beefcake (before he was the Barber) as the Dream Team.
	HARLEY RACE A multiple time NWA Word Heavyweight Champion, Harley had numerous big time feuds all over the US during the 70's and 80's. Here's a pic from the autumn of his career when he was briefly known as The King in WWF.
	HULK HOGAN I can't think of anyone who deserved to be inducted into the Hall of Fame more than this man, the Hulkster, the one and only Hulk Hogan! So much has been said about Hogan by many people that I can't think of anything to put here to add to his mammoth legacy!
	THE IRON SHEIK The Iron Sheik was the man to finally knock Bob Backlund off his multi-year reign as World Champion, only to then have the distinct honour of being the fella beaten by Hulk Hogan for the Hulkster's first title reign!
	'CHIEF' JAY STRONGBOW The Chief is a card-carrying Hall of Famer, and is also the originator of 'Hulking-up', although his was more of an Indian tribal dance than anythng else.
	'THE MOUTH OF THE SOUTH' JIMMY HART One of the most famous managers in the history of wrestling, Jimmy Hart managed virtually everyone in late 80's/early 90's WWF. He can be found with TNA these days, either helping produce the weekly shows or managing the current Tag Champs, The Naturals!
	JIMMY 'SUPERFLY' SNUKA The Superfly used to be absolutely MASSIVE! I'd totally forgotten he was built like a beast, yet still able to pull off some fairly innovative (for the time at least) moves. It's always good to see him from time to time on TV!
	JUNKYARD DOG (R.I.P) The dog was a big star in the 80's, and not just for the WWF either! His addition to the Hall of Fame is most definitely a worthy one!
	NIKOLAI VOLKOFF Recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, Nikolai was a super heel during the Cold War. I do believe he's still wrestling the occasional show now too, meaning his career has spanned over 35 years!
	'MR. WONDERFUL' PAUL ORNDORFF Orndorff was a pretty cool wrestler if I remember correctly, but nerve damage in one of his arms almost ended his career. I believe he later went on to become a trainer at the WCW Power Plant, until they were bought out by the WWF.
	ROWDY RODDY PIPER Perhaps the most famous Scotsman not to come from Scotland or even be Scottish. This kilt-wearing bad ass may not have won a lot of titles during his career, but he didn't need too... He achieved his popularity through awesome mic work and great feuds instead!
	SGT. SLAUGHTER Former WWE Champion, current WWE road agent, the Sarge has had a long and successful career all over the States. I'll always remember him as an awesome heel, as well as a G.I. Joe action figure!

	ANGUS YOUNG AC:DC are one of the greatest pure rock and roll bands of all time! Want proof? Listen to Back in Black or Highway to Hell and see for yourselves. Or even better, go ask fellow Aussies Jet were they get their inspirations from...
	BILLY CORGAN (SEEN LIVE!) Former Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan lead man, Billy C is one depressing guy but he's also a rockin' musician! And apparently, he's a Manchester Utd fan too! Is there anything this guy can't do?
	BRAD WILK (SEEN LIVE!) He's the former Rage Against The Machine and current Audioslave drummer, and guess what? I was actually lucky enough to catch one of his drumsticks after seeing the Slave perform at the Download festival in 2003. Giggidy-Giggidy-Giggidy!
	CAPTAIN CHARISMA Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No... It's Captain Charisma himself, perhaps the greatest superhero of all time!
	CHAVO CLASSIC Talk about blowing a golden opportunity!! Chavo Classic had it made on Smackdown, but then he had to go and no-show a few house shows and criticize the way the WWE were using him, and now he's gone again!
	CHRIS JERICHO The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, and first Undisputed Champion is still King of the World in my books. He's currently left the E for a short break to concentrate on his family, his band and just general recuperation.
	CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI I gotta admit, I was pretty impressed with this guy. Unfortunately though, he's been forced to retire due to a similar issue with concussions that Bret Hart suffered after Goldberg kicked him in the cranium.
	CHRISTY HEMME Even though I'm probably one of the harshest critics when it comes to women's wrestling, I'll give Christy credit. She definitely seemed intent on becoming a better wrestler, and the way the WWE went about and fired him in spite of this (and her popularity) was just ludicrous.
	CJ RAMONE Came from the Marine corp and picked up Dee Dee's bass once he decided to drop out without looking back! Those were mighty big shoes for CJ to fill but he seemed to do so with ease!
	'CRAIG DAVID' Only UK fans of the cult TV show 'Bo Selecta' will know who this guy is, but man is he funny. Was tempted to add the infamous piss bag but thought better of it.
	CRASH (R.I.P) What a tragic loss. Possibly the most decorated man in WWE history and deservedly so. I'm gonna miss him.
	DANIEL PUDER The latest Tough Enough winner, Puder got absolutely BRUTALISED at the Royal Rumble. Chances are, we won't be seeing him on Smackdown again for quite some time as they hopefully teach this kid the basics!
	DARTH VADER What with the impending arrival of Episode III, I figured it would be a cool idea to try my hand at drawing the man we're all dying to see the birth of, and I gotta say, I love this picture!!
	DAVE GROHL (SEEN LIVE THRICE!) Ol' Davey Boy is awesome. He's the lead singer of the band Foo Fighters, former drummer for Nirvana, and has appeared on numerous other band albums too. Plus the guy is one of the most ferocious and hard hitting drummers you're ever likely to hear. If you like drums that sound like they'll make your ears bleed, I highly recommend his side project, Probot too!
	DEE DEE RAMONE (R.I.P) The main who played bass for the majority of Ramones tracks over their 20+ year career, as well as writing some of their most recognisable tracks, who unfortunately passed away in 2002 due to a drug overdose.
	DR. EVIL Few people in the world are truly evil. Fortunately, Dr. Evil is one of them. His name would have been mighty ironic otherwise.
	EDDIE GUERRERO (R.I.P) Eddie's untimely passing is truly one of the saddest events I can ever recall seeing in my 16+ years as a wrestling fan. Thank you for everything Eddie!
	ERIC BISCHOFF Poor Bischoff. He was excellent as the evil GM, but since he got 'fired', there's been absolutely nothing for him to do. I hope Vince and co find something quick, because this guy is some talented on the stick (and at being an asshole), it's just wasteful to not have him on TV!
	FAAROOQ It was a sad end to the legacy of the APA, the way in which Faarooq left the company, but he's a 40+ year old guy with knees more rickety than a shanty village so I can't really blame the WWE for doing so.
	FLEA (SEEN LIVE!) This fella here is the master of the funky bassline, and is widely regarded to be the finest bass player of our generation. Who am I to disagree? Having seen Flea and the Chili Peppers play live, I'd vouch that he probably is what any future bass player should aspire to be like!
	GOLDBERG What an uninspiring way to go out. If that's the last time Goldberg wrestles in the States, that's a great shame. He'd come on leaps and bounds since joining the WWE, but his Wrestlemania match against Brock Lesnar was a complete shambles.
	CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW HAR-HAR!! The Captain of the Black Pearl and all round bad ass, how could not have watched Pirates of the Caribbean and not thought Johnny Depp's creation wasn't the best thing since sliced bread? He's the best pirate I've ever seen!
	JIMI HENDRIX (R.I.P) All round guitar God, Hendrix's influence can be heard on all sorts of music today and for the past thirty years. Without a doubt, he was the greatest guitar player of his generation.
	JOEY RAMONE (R.I.P) Lead singer for one of the most influential punk bands of all time, Joey had one of the most recognisable voices in all of music! Unfortunately, he passed away in 2001 due to lymphatic throat cancer.
	JOHN BONHAM (R.I.P) He was the powerhouse drummer of Led Zeppelin, and perhaps even the finest drummer of all time. Bonzo would beat the living crap out of his kit to give you some of the best sounds EVER!
	JOHNNY RAMONE (R.I.P) The Ramones staunch guitarist and bad ass to the core, Johnny may have been a Republican *boo*hiss* but that doesn't take away from his awesome skill at whipping out catchy riff's. Unfortunately, Johnny passed away recently due to Prostate cancer that he'd been valiantly fighting for 5 years.
	JOKER AKA, the Jack Nicholson version from the 1989 film directed by Tim Burton, which was undoubtedly the best of the series (although Batman Returns comes a close second). Nicholson was simply amazing as the Joker and helped inspire me to become the evil guy I am today!
	"MR JON-TASTIC" JON FULLER Who, I hear you ask? Why, it is the incarnation of myself as a bad ass, amazing wrestler that oozes Jon-Tasticness from every pour. Still confused? Then I put it to you that you're missing out on one of the greatest e-wrestlers ever..... Well, that's my opinion anyway.
	JOSH HOMME (SEEN LIVE THRICE!) Want to see the best live band in the world? Check out Queens of the Stone Age. Although I did get to see them twice with now departed Nick Oliveri (and once with Mark Lanegan!!), I unfortunately missed out on seeing a quartet of power from Homme, Oliveri, Lanegan and Grohl! Curses!
	J.R. The way the WWE got rid of JR from the announce position drew a ton of controversy both on the Net and in the locker room, and whilst they got a great replacement in Joey Styles, it still begs the question of whether or not JR will return to our TV screens ever again?
	KIRK HAMMET (SEEN LIVE TWICE!) Say what you will about their more recent stuff but Metallica revolutionised metal in the 80's, and they can still pull a few tricks from up their sleeves today as well! Who loves Kirk's solo on One?
	KURT COBAIN (R.I.P) It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Kurt killed himself but his mark on music is still felt to this day. And besides, if you don't like grunge, what the hell is wrong with you?
	LANCE STORM Early in 2004, the wrestling world was shocked when Lance Storm announced his retirement. Although totally understandable due to the downright shabby way this talented individual has been treated by the E (and a nasty back injury), I for one will definitely miss seeing Lance tear it up in the ring!
	LARS ULRICH (SEEN LIVE TWICE!) So he might be somewhat of a wiener, even going so far as to SUE his own fans, but you just can't help but love this guy's drumming. It's heavy, it's brutal, and it's fan-bloody-tastic!
	LUTHER REIGNS Out of all the new guy's that have debuted over the last year, I'd say Luther is one that has really impressed me. Whilst he may look a little goofy in the face, the guy is a powerhouse who a) looks like he can wrestle, b) can talk the mic and c) has a good reason for being on Smackdown!
	MARKY RAMONE Once Tommy hung up his drumsticks to go back to producing, the Ramones turned to Marky to fill his boots. And boy did he ever! He's one cool guy...
	'MICHAEL JACKSON' He's one bad, invincible mofo and you better show him some respect. Again, from 'Bo Selecta', Wacko Jacko is the ultimate parody!
	MORDECAI I can't say I'm surprised this guy failed to take off. I mean, whilst a gimmick like this might have succeeded ten years ago, the audience just aren't going to react now. Guess that goes to show you can't just make another Undertaker...
	MR. T It's Mr. T, and as a great man once said, I pity the fool who doesn't like he! No-one can deny the greatness of this former B.A. Baracus, nor his milk-drinking, fool-beating ways!
	MUHAMMAD HASSAN It seems as if Hassan's summer push is over before it even started, thanks to a badly timed (and just bad in general) terrorist plot to take out the Undertaker! Who knew there were boundaries of taste that even wrestling can't cross?
	NATHAN JONES Poor diddums couldn't take the travelling lifestyle. Ah well, it's not as if his quitting was any big loss to the WWE. Unlike the departure of Spanky, say.
	NICK OLIVERI (SEEN LIVE TWICE!) Alas, poor Nick got booted out of the Queens of the Stone Age last year due to his wild ways, and it's a HUGE shame! God only knows what the new QOTSA record will sound like without him, but at least he's still touring with Mondo Generator (although they seem to go through more line-up changes than the Chelsea first team!)
	PAUL HEYMAN I really don't know what the future holds for Heyman... On the one hand, his contract's running out and I bet he can't wait to be free of the WWE's shackles... On the other though, he's just been put in charge of OVW for the foreseeable future and could help carve out some of tomorrow's future stars!
	RICHIE RAMONE He had a 4 year stint on the drums whilst Marky cleaned himself up, and didn't do too badly at all!
	RICO Former cop, former American Gladiator, stylist, and now wrestler.... Is there any career this very camp fella hasn't done? I honestly couldn't believe he got released, despite his age, but all the best to him in the future!
	THE ROCK I'm not sure about you guys, but I was really digging the Rock's heel turn. I mean, I've waited for it to happen for nigh on four years, and FINALLY, it happened!! Problem is, whenever he returns now, they pretend it never happened at all. Sigh.
	"BIG POPPA PUMP" SCOTT STEINER Steiner was completely wasted from the get-go... They put him in a high profile feud with HHH right away, despite his ring rust, then proceed to have him as a face for the majority of his tenure with the WWE when Steiner's ALWAYS been better as a heel! No wonder he finally had enough and left!
	SHANE MCMAHON The Boy Wonder himself, Shane O'Mac has put on some really memorable matches over the years, despite not even being a fully trained professional wrestler! He's taken more of a behind the scenes role as of right now, but fingers crossed, we'll see more of him in the ring in the future!
	SHREDDER This isn't some new fandangled version. This is the old school, bad ass Shredder who I grew up watching. And as far as I'm concerned, the only version worth caring about.
	SKELETOR No, not the new one. I'm talking old school again. The original and the best. As a kid growing up, Skeletor was my hero... If I could be just an iota as evil as him, I'll be content.
	SLASH (SEEN LIVE TWICE!) Former Guns N' Roses and current Velvet Revolver axe wielder, you'd be pretty stupid to not recognize Slash as THE man. And as if pulling kick ass solos from out of no-where wasn't cool enough, he's died on multiple occasions but is still alive to tell the tail!
	STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN I hate to say it, but Stone Cold's been pretty bland for a long time now, and his release from the WWE was probably a good thing. Hopefully this will give him a chance to clear his head, recharge his batteries and come back better than before, but then, he's already taken two huge breaks over the past few years so what good will another do?
	STEVE HARRIS (SEEN LIVE THRICE!) Bassist for Iron Maiden and one of the two original members of the band still hanging in there after over 25 years! Plus, Steve Harris is the mastermind behind many of the epic cacophonies of awesomeness that Maiden have ever come out with! He's the man responsible for beating Cliff Richard to the X-Mas number 1 in 1992 as well!
	TAJIRI The Japanese Buzzsaw was pretty much wasted in the WWE. He had a pretty good run on Smackdown, but the move to Raw just killed off all momentum. He's reportedly heading back to Japan to start a writing career, so good luck to you Yoshihiro!
	TAYLOR HAWKINS (SEEN LIVE THRICE!) Taylor's had a few problems over the years, almost dying just prior to the release of One By One a few years ago. However, all looks to be back the way it should be, and if ever there was a drummer who could play in a band fronted by Dave Grohl, it's always been Taylor Hawkins!
	TENACIOUS D It seems these days that in order to be a true SPW drawer, you've gotta draw the D. Well, quite frankly, I've got no qualms with that. After all, no one kicks more ass than these two! In fact, my life ambition is to see them live and in person.... After that, I can die a happy man.
	TIM COMMERFORD (SEEN LIVE!) Current bassist for Audioslave, I can't wait to hear their new album coming out later this year! Not only can he play a nifty bassline, but I'm sure most people will remember when he drunkenly got up on stage at the 99 MTV awards!
	TOM MORELLO (SEEN LIVE!) There isn't anyone alive who can do the stuff with a guitar that Mr. Morello can! Although Rage Against The Machine will be sorely missed, at least we've got Audioslave to keep my CD player rocking. And if you're interested, he also doubles as the Night Watchman, or something along those lines.
	TOMMY DREAMER Tommy's contract ran out recently, but he's been groomed for a decent office job although no doubt, he'd much prefer to wrestle. Still, at least Dreamer got to leave us a legacy in ECW and a feud with Raven that will go down as one of the best in history!
	TOMMY RAMONE When the Ramones couldn't find a man to give them the drum beat that they desired, it almost looked like the dream was ending before it had even started. Yet when producer Tommy stepped behind that drumkit, all worries were forgotten and the Ramones marched on to greatness!
	VINCE MCMAHON Since the Boss doesn't really have much of a role on TV now and has taken somewhat of a step away from the spotlight, I figured this was as good a place as any to put him. Anyone else notice how Vinnie walks like he's pooped himself?
