Thoughts:
God Bless Girl scout cookies.
Great work today by RVD as well as the Rock who was really funny.
I am looking forward to WrestleMania.
Stone Cold said "WWF" superstars I miss that. WWE just is gay.
WTF with Chris Nowinski and the Dudley's...Who gives a rats ass.
I hope that Stone Cold Steve Austin stays around for a while.
I marked out like crazy when I heard the Glass breaking, since I didn't pay for No Way Out.
Does anyone know what happened to the other kid from tough enough, John?
