Dear World Wrestling Entertainment Home Video Proprietor:

WWE is proud to unveil the following titles and/or cover art for our next two upcoming DVD releases. As you know, this material is highly confidential and is usually not leaked to the internet until at least fifteen (15) minutes after this memo is mailed. Please act accordingly. Also, please do not purchase any WWE DVDs from (now former) employee Earl Hebner. Those were not official WWE DVDs. In fact, they were simply paper plates with the letters "DVD" written on them in orange crayon. To be honest, we're a bit surprised that anyone fell for that trick to begin with.

We hope your customers enjoy the upcoming titles. If you have any complaints, feel free to contact WWE's new vice president of home video sales Dominick Mysterio.

Praise Satan,
World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.

Pete Gas was one of World Wrestling Entertainment's most talented...uh, charismatic...no, no, that's not it either...intense...no, no....uh, he was one of World Wrestling Entertainment's wrestlers. That's about it. He was friends with Shane McMahon all his life and ended up collecting a paycheck and wearing a sweater vest. Now you can see all his greatest matches on one DVD! Watch as Pete wrestles:

Test
Crash Holly
Test
Steve Blackman
Test
The Headbangers
Test

(OFFICE NOTE: We don't expect your customers to actually purchase this DVD. It's just that we're also coming out with a Triple H DVD that same day and figure that when the numbers come in from the sales it'll seem like...well, you do the math.)

At a recent non-WWE sponsored "rasslin'" thing, Matt Hardy was asked how he felt about his "push." He stated that he has faith in WWE and suggested that the fan ask the question again in six months, adding "...if I haven't hung myself by then." Never before in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment has a performer been fired and then eagerly returned within two months to face any and all insanity we could force upon him. Based on the TV program Jackass, Matt's career has been a roller coaster ride of wild pranks and hijinx both on and off camera. Now for the first time ever, you can see it all!

Watch as we:

Have Matt lose to Edge in brutal fashion at Summerslam!
Shake Hands with Vince McMahon, killing the entire premise of his character!
Have Matt lose to former Flag Post Rob Conway!
Kill Matt's Dog!
Force him to watch a hidden-camera video of Lita and Edge having sex!
Force him to watch a hidden-camera video of Lita and Rip Taylor having sex!
Sell his friends and family into white slavery!


Plus: For the first time ever, Matt reveals the super-duper, double-secret, no-foolies, cross-his-heart-and-hope-to-die reason that he and Lita broke up!

Why Wrestlers Hate Traveling With Carlito

Hey, man. You want me to turn the air up?

No, Carlito. I'm alright. Just keep driving.

Why not, man? You warm enough? Don't you want me to crank up the air so high we're shivering?

No thank you, Carlito. I don't want to be cool.

What...the...hell...did...you...say...?

Carlito's Cabana is open for business and Carlito Cool comes with buckets of apples for all the good boys and girls. Don't like apples? Tough. Coolio's show is the last one on the air now that Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel has been liquidated. With that being the case, Carly is now able to snatch up every performer that his big fro'd heart desires. Without further ado, the Source of Strength...Shawn Michaels.

The Heartbreak Kid arrives and Jim Ross screams that signing him for the Cabana is a major coup. God I hate that. A coup for what? The only other show on Raw was the Highlight Reel and that's gone now. So how is it a coup? How is it even a big deal? It's an interview. Is it a coup when Maria interviews him? Why doesn't she get props for scoring big guests? Way to go, Maria. Hell, Mean Gene was couping the hell out of everyone in the 80s. Anyway, we digress. Ol' Shawny Shawn is here and his presence is an honor to Carlito. Last week it was Ric Flair and this week it's the Boy Toy. Now that's cool. Cool says he admires Michaels for the things he's done in this industry. It helped to pave the way for guys like Carlito to accomplish the things he has. However, in a strange twist of fate, it's now Shawn that must stand in awe of Mr. Cool. Porque? Well, cause Triple C is the Intercontinental Champion. That's why.

Hold up, Sideshow Bob. The Midnight Rocker knows that you're the IC Champ. However, he also knows that you never defend that belt. At this point, the crowd starts to chant "Hogan, Hogan." To which HBK says:

"Until he needs another pay-off, he ain't coming back."
- Shawn Michaels, 9:08pm

The crowd, of course, boos. Why? Well, because they like Hulk Hogan. That's why they're chanting his name, dummy. Cutting him down isn't a good way to endear yourself to this particular audience. No matter, though. Hollywood's home with his Nasty Boy and Kid Heartbreak is here on the Cabana. You know the Cabana, don'cha? It's the Carlito talk show. Good thing he has a talk show because, according to Shawn, Cool hasn't had any matches to speak of. He hasn't been a fighting Champion. He hasn't defended that title against all comers. No. He just hangs out here with his hammock and eats fruit. HBK explains that the title doesn’t make the man. The man makes the title. On that note, he asks when the last time CC defended his title. Flustered, Mop Top blames the ball-less roster. No one's stepped up. Even Ric Flair punked out in the face of the Caribbean one. Cool tells Michaels that he needs to learn the pecking order in WWE. That order features Carl on top of the "ladder" and Shawn on the (Hicken) bottom. That's why the Icon's insults on the IC Champ aren't cool. At that moment, Carlito picks up an apple and HBK threatens to kick it down his throat. Easy, baldie. Let's not do anything rash. Just to keep the peace, let's bring out the man who's going to give you the Masterlock challenge later. Yeah, that's right. He'll bait you in, chew you up, and spit you out. He's the Master Spitter! He's the Master Chewer! He's the Master...Piece! (JG Note: Gotcha.)

Chris Masters walks out and he has some threats he needs to garble out. Lex tells Shawn that he may talk tough, but ultimately will fall to his Masterlock. Realizing that he's pretty scrizznewed, Kid Heartbreak wonders aloud how, even with 21 years in the biz, he gets into these situations. Then, without warning, he attacks.

The Narcissist and Justin Guarini put the boots to Michaels. Chris then signals for the Masterlock, but before he can lock it on, Ric Flair sprints from the back. He opens up with knife edges and punches until HBK regains his strength. From there, the Nature Boy and the Boy Toy clean house and strut with each other.

Still to come: Shawn Michaels takes the Cobra Clutch, Crossface Chicken Wing, Pepsi Masterlock Challenge. Then Edge and Matt Hardy face off in a street fight...right in that very ring! Hey. How can a street fight start in a ring? Where's the goddamn street? Work with me here, people.

Commercial Break. "Castrol GTX - Drive Hard." I'd love to be able to do that, Castrol. Unfortunately, motor oil doesn't excite me in that way.

Backstage, Carlito and Chris Masters are whining and moaning to Eric Bischoff about the previous segment's altercation. Eric advises Chris to hold off on challenging HBK with the Masterlock until next week. Before anyone can call this a Master Bait and Switch, Bisch signs a match between the Team of Flair/Michaels and Masterpiece/Cool.

(1) Big Show defeated Buck Quartermaine and Steve Madison in a two on one match Show's letting his fuzz hair grow out now. Whatever. I feel like this guy can't settle on a look. He reminds me of that children's toy where you take the magnetic stick and drag the hair onto the guy's head and face. You can give him a Mohawk or an afro or whatever. Those things were always fun. I guess Big Show loved them too, because now he does it with his own head (JG Note: Only using a razor instead of a magnet.) This match was enjoyable. It wasn't monumental, but it was a good showing for Biggie. I think it's funny that WWE still can't get him over as a genuine giant even after he's been here for what seems like 1200 years. He's not Andre and he won't be. I don't know what it was about Andre. Maybe it was because he had such a thick accident and genuinely looked like a fairy-tale giant. That made him appear to be a genuine giant. Show seems like the big guy at the party that keeps trying to hook up with every girl he sees. There's the difference. My favorite part of this match was Jim Ross saying that Show was "throwing these bodies around like they were double-meat cheeseburgers or something." When he said that, my wife looked up and asked, "What the hell does that mean?" I didn't know either. Weird food analogies aside, BS wins this one with a double choke slam.

After the bell, Gene Snitsky ran to the ring. Apparently still enraged over being called a "toe-sucking freak" by Show, Gene went on the attack. After a brutal beat down, he slammed the ring bell into Biggie's head and called it a day. Ding, ding, dong. Ding-a-ding-ding-ding-dong...keep their heads ringing....

Coming Soon...

Commercial Break. "Just tell your grandma you blew off the dinner plans you made with her because you were stoned. She'll understand." Powerful commercial. Hey, wait a minute... all my grandparents are dead. Whoo-hoo! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

It's time for the TICLs (JG Note: Tongue-In-Cheek Lesbians). Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle are here and they have matching outfits on. JR talks about how the two women caused a big stir last week following their trade from Smackdown. He neglects to mention that neither Jerry Lawler or John Coachman even noticed this major trade at first. That's all in the past, though. It's a new week and a new opportunity for Wilson to over-enunciate her promo. The gist is that they're proud of their recent actions. What actions? Well, beating up the 2005 Diva Search Winner, of course. Both former Smackdowners take their turn laughing at the attack. One question: How come Candice does better at promos than Torrie? She's been in the business for like six months. Torrie's been in it since the last century. On that note, they introduce Ashley. Don't forget that question I just asked. There's a follow up to it.

Here comes the new Quarter Million Dollar Federette. Ashley has her cap on her head and scowl on her face. Both the bad girls offer half-hearted apologies, which are met with skepticism from the new girl. However, she forgives them because...uh, she's gullible. Her forgiveness is all for not, though. It's all just a setup. The evil Divas brought Ash out here for a match. Of course, she assumes it's with one of them. Au contraire, Avril. Your match is against...Victoria!

Oh...I said there would be a follow-up question. OK. How is it that Candice does better promos than Torrie despite only being in the business for six months when Wilson has been in it for six years? Figure that one out yet? OK. Now answer this one: How come Ashley, who's been in the biz for two weeks, is better than both of them?

(2) Victoria pinned Ashley after a Widow's Peak Good stuff here. Ashley held her own and didn't do anything horrible. In fact, she was far better than a lot of the girls they got in the last batch of Divas. This match also did a lot to make Victoria look like a bad ass. Despite taking some shots from the new chick in the school girl costume, Vicki got the win in a convincing manner. After the bell, the three Amigas in their matching outfits stood over Ashley and gloated.

Commercial Break. "Burger King - Have it Your Way." OK. I don't want to pay for my meal. I'm sorry, King Burger. That's "my way."



Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch shot another vignette. I'm really high on this gimmick. This is the perfect time for a team like this to debut. Let's just hope they steer clear from the temptation of having Murdoch rape the Coach. We all know how WWE is fond of the gay rape. Restraining themselves might be difficult.

In a the backstage area, Edge is hanging out with Alber Bridge, the band that does his theme song. When he's interrupted by Todd Grisham, he's shocked. How rude, Todd! Grish responds that this is Raw and not American Idol. Incensed, Edger grabs him by the collar and gives a scoop. Lita's off somewhere handling an "errand." As for the Edgeman, well tonight he'll finish Matt Hardy off once and for all. He can then go back to his "website postings" and "Podunk wrestling promotions that no one's ever heard of." Ouch. Hey, you want to know what Lita's errand is? If you guessed that she was off to pick up the dry cleaning and get some Rita's Water Ice, you were wrong. Sorry.

She's actually in another section of the arena. She's in the section that Matt Hardy is in. Yo, Version Easy Bleeder. Leets wants to ask you a question. As she strips down to her revealing top, she asks how it feels to know he'll never ever experience "this" again? (JG Note: "This" = Intercourse With Lita.) She guesses that it must feel "pretty pathetic." Ouch. Then she says that Matt is, in fact, pathetic. Also, he can "go to hell." Ouch, ouch. With his eyes bugging out of his head, the Hardly Boy tells her that he'll be going to hell, but not alone. He claims he'll take Edge with him. I love cheesy wrestling threats. Is there "electricity in the air," Matt? Are you going to "reach down deep inside and show what you're really made of?" Is it "Showtime?" Is "the hour upon us?" Are you gonna "kick his lousy stinkin' butt?" Blah. The street fight in the wrestling ring is next!

Commercial Break. Use Clearasil for Men. If not, you're a girl. Ha ha! You're a gi-rl! Girly, girly, zit crème man! Hang your head in shame!

Ric Flair is backstage and looks like he was just killed with a chainsaw. He's bloody and unconscious while people plead with him to answer them about what has happened. They beg him to answer, paying little attention to the fact that he looks like he's dead..  Seriously.  "Ric!  What happened!?"  "Uh...I died, stupid." Ahhh...smell that? That's the smell of bottled water and Pert Plus. Hunter's in the air.

(3) The Street Fight between Matt Hardy and Edge ended in a no-contest You know what, I'm gonna be straight up with you here. I can't speak for anyone else, but one of the main reasons I was most frustrated with this Edge-Hardy feud is because it's one that I genuinely thought they could do well with at first. I was excited to see where WWE could take this conflict if given the chance to resign Matt. Once they did sign Hardy, I expected something big. Instead I saw a series of missteps that left me less and less interested in this conflict I had been looking forward to. Because of that, I wasn't happy. I shouldn't have been. While Matt Hardy and the company kept saying "wait and see," I was left wondering "What for?" Why should I have to wait and see? I was excited about this match to start with. Why did they have to tear the whole thing down in order to build it up again? It seems backwards. "Oh, just wait. You'll like the feud again real soon." I liked it a month ago! You guys are the reason I stopped! Now you're telling me to just wait and I'll like it again? Whatever. Seems counterproductive. As for this match, it was a good brawl. They used all the goodies and gimmicks that have been scaled back on television to make them seem more brutal in matches like this one. There was a trash can lid, a ladder , and a kendo stick all to bolster the action. One main drawback to this continues to be Matt's punches, which seem really weak for a feud that's booked upon the premise of intensity. At one point, Edge rolled out of the ring and Hardy swung at thin air with about as much force as a sleeping baby. The fans were really into this one by the end, though and it served it's purpose in terms of storyline advancement. Getting back to what I said at the start, though, this should have been the Summerslam match. Why WWE waited so long in order to play out this angle is beyond me. What angle? Well, to close out this one, both men ended up on the stage. After threatening to power bomb Lita off the ramp, the Sensei of Mattitude found himself being rushed by Adam "Boom Boom" Copeland. Cope ended up caught in the Sidewinder position and was slammed from the elevated stage down to a platform of wires below. They fall, hit, and cause a barrage of sparks to fly from the power circuits pr whaever they're supposed tobe. It's fourth of July and Jim Ross freaks out.

Referees and officials gather around and scream for the power to be turned off. Matt and Adam both appear to be dead and there's only two men who can save them. Yup. You guessed it. John Coachman and Jerry Lawler. They leave the booth to check on the condition of the two fallen combatants. (JG Note: I don’t get this. I mean, I do get this. Originally the whole, announcers-leave-the-booth thing was done to give an event legitimacy. The walk-off of the show's voice-over people signified that something big had happened. That's how it was at first, cause it was something fresh. Now it's just dumb. How many people work for WWE? You mean to tell me that Lawler and Coach need to leave their jobs to go and help paramedics? How many people are backstage? Four? It just seems ridiculous. Somehow I doubt the EMTs were saying, "I could save them if only I had a guy in a sparkly crown. Get me a King...stat!") Anyway, everyone is bandaged up and things don't look good for Lita-Banger 1 and Lita-Banger 2. Pray for them. Pray real hard.

Commercial Break. Red Eye is in theaters everywhere. Ahhhh! Stay away from theaters! Oh...oh, wait. I was thinking of "pink eye." Nevermind. False alarm.

We're back and Jim Ross is using the "this is real" voice. Both Edge and Matt Hardy are going to the hospital. I hope Matt got one of those cards that the hospital can punch on each visit. He might as well get some free stuff out of all this pain. Altogether, this was presented more seriously than it probably should have been. While somewhat memorable, the match ending spot was obviously gimmicked. I doubt anyone bought that it could have been real. If you did, then I have an autographed picture of God to sell you. At one point, Matt, tied to a stretcher, asks, "Where am I?" As a joke, someone should have told him, "TNA."

Commercial Break. What the hell are you doing watching the commercials?! Matt Hardy and Edge got electrocuted and you're watching commercials. Real f**kin' classy, man. Real f**kin' classy.

The Champ is Here!

Well, Mr. Cena why was the Champ under there before?

Why was the Champ under where?

Ha ha. You said the Champ was underwear.

Jiggity John Cena is in full effect with his Chain Gang jersey. His haircut's cheap. His gas's expensive. 50 Cent cussed at the VMAs. Then, to top all that off, Dr. Thuganomics was attacked by Kurt Angle. However, JC has some good news. He saved a bunch of money on his car insurance. (JG Note: If they start having Cena bring a Gecko to the ring, I'm not watching anymore. ) The Champ is here, but the plot has thickened. Kurt's the new #1 Contender. Whoopty Doo. Look, Kurtis. John has never backed down from a fight in his life. You want some! Come get some!

Kurt Angle wants some John Cena and he's coming to get some. Your Olympic Hero shows up on the entranceway. He mocks the C-Man's moxy for calling him out. You don't want none of this, Vanilla. Why? Well, Angle will show you why. With that, we watch a video package of last week's attack. When we come back, Ang continues his speech. He tells the Champ that "with all due respect, I'm not Chris Jericho." Hell, KA is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame! He's a gold medallist! What are you, Jay-C? You're a rookie! Five, six years in the industry - tops! In case you haven't noticed, son, the K Man is on top of his career. He made Shawn Michaels tap at WrestleMania. He made Eugene tap at Summerslam. He made Shelton Benjamin tap out last week on Raw. He's a tapping fool! He's on a roll! Why? Well because he wants that belt that you spin on your waist. It feeds his desires and it's coming home to Philly! Cena tries to interject but is ordered to shut his mouth. His Angleness promises to end the Word Life Charade at Unforgiven by making the "low-life, street thug punk" tap.

Poopmeister asks his Olympic opponent why he has so much hostility. It doesn’t matter, though. You see, Cena claims he was unaware that Kurt was a gold medallist. He sarcastically jokes that perhaps he's bitten off more than he can chew by fighting the overqualified Angle. No matter, though, as JC is "still calling your ass out!"

Kurt Angle drops the microphone and starts towards the ring. After about ten steps, he changes his mind and turns back around. This goes on once more before Johnny gives it to the Bestiality King. He apologizes for forgetting Angle's M.O. Everyone knows that Kurt digs jumping men from behind. Implying that Angle is ripe for the "Great Moments in Gay Sex DVD," Cena turns around and presents his backside to the Olympian. He wiggles his ass and tells Kurt to do whatever he wants. I kid you not. He asked him to come into the ring and do him. This whole time I thought he was saying "The Champ is Here." Given this segment, I'm not so sure he was saying "here."

The Male Butt Jumper rushed the ring and tackled the Champ. They had a go-around and ended up being separated by referees before the conflict could escalate. It's not everyday that the World Champion tells his top challenger to jump his ass and "do whatever you want." It definitely would have made that Sgt Slaughter-Hulk Hogan WrestleMania VII match more interesting. "Immortal Slime! Come into this ring, maggot, and ride my ass! And that’s...an orrrrrrder!"

Commercial Break. TNA Impact is coming to Spike TV. I'm looking forward to this. Actually, I should clarify that. I'm looking forward to TNA putting on a new and exciting program. I'm not looking forward to the Impact that I used to cry my way through on FSN. Putting squash matches in a weirdly shaped ring doesn't make them any more exciting.



(4) Tyson Tomko defeated Rosey via knockout Remember last year during Hurricane season, WWE teased a heel turn for Hurricane Helms? They should have just went with it. With all the storm watches on TV for Hurricane Katrina, you might not get the best reaction to a Babyface that enters the arena to, "Stand back, there's a Hurricane coming through," especially in Florida. Then again, most fans might not think about the whole correlation between the goofy super hero wrestler and the devastating thunderstorm. Oh, oh...wait. Less than a minute in, Jerry Lawler mentions Katrina. Way to go, Jerry. Apparently Tyson is on this kick-in-the-face kick lately. He's like the 1992 WCW version of the Barbarian, who based his entire gimmick on kicking people in the face for a while. The commentators guess that Tomko might end up with Rene Dupree by his side. Why? Well, Dupe has been on the lookout for a tag partner to challenge for the tag belts. Tyson might be a good choice. (JG Note: Remember when teams had to beat other teams in order to earn tag title matches?) Double T wins by "knockout" after the ref ends the match for..you guessed it, kicking in the face. After the bell, he kicks Hurricane in the face too.

Earlier tonight, Ric Flair was bludgeoned to death. When told about the attack, Eric Bischoff changed the main event to a handicap match. He also laughed and prayed that this would somehow cause Ric's family to starve.

Commercial Break. Ad for Axe Body Spray. Good to see him doing something after wrestling. Now if only Smash and Crush could invest in a deodorant company.

(5) Chris Masters & Carlito defeated Ric Flair & Shawn Michaels when Flair passed out in the Masterlock Jerry Lawler does a great job of explaining that this match differed from the earlier one with Big Show. In this one, tags were required while Show's bout was two at a time. Lawler's explanation was also good in that it helped fans understand that they acknowledged that this gimmick match already occurred, but realized the differences. For the duration of the match, Shawn did the handicap match thing. Nothing special, if we're being honest here, the match seemed to drag and I still couldn't seem to get a grasp on Masters. If anyone needs a mouthpiece, it's him. Where are this generation's Bobby Heenans and Jimmy Harts to save this kid? I might actually be into his whole shtick if he could be given the luxury of posing in a mirror while someone else cuts his promos. It might not matter, though. Bad promos or not, he's gonna be around for a while. How do we know? Well, because halfway though the match, Ric Flair made a big return. Bandaged up like Eric Idle in National Lampoon's European Vacation, Slick Ric opened up on anyone in sight. That lasted a short while. Then the tables turned. You can blame the blood loss. You can blame his earlier sneak attack. You can blame Johnny Ace's affinity for big mens. Whatever you want to blame, blame it quick. Chris Masters beat Ric Flair after Flair passed out in the Full Nelson. There, I said it. Please don't kill me. I'm only the messenger.

After the bell, the heels celebrated and left the ring while Shawn checks on the condition of Grandpappy Bandage Head. Fade to black.

All in all... Good Raw. It was fun and steadily paced. Altogether, there was little to be upset with.

Matt Hardy and Edge should have done this weeks ago. If this was truly the plan all along, why have Hardy get pimpslapped for two weeks? A hot match like this at Summerslam would have been the perfect way to kickstart this whole conflict when it was still pretty hot. Even with the melodramatic post-match "where am I" stuff, this angle should have been shot on night one. What really sucks is that I got this match for free while I paid $35 for a two-minute squash job on pay-per-view. To be honest, I counted the Edge-Matt match pretty high on my list of reasons to order Summerslam. To say it fell short is an understatement. WWE can still save this feud if they just ignore history. They've done it before. For some reason, I still think this is going to end badly for Matt. He says it's a five part feud. Well, we've now seen three. Two of those three made him look like a frail little woman. The next two parts better include him having super powers or something.

Tyson Tomko could be a big deal if they keep pushing him like this. He has an animalistic look that sets him apart from the other performers. He better make sure they don't let too many other people take the crazy face hair gimmick, though. As for his match, normally I wouldn't agree with letting one guy destroy the tag champs at once, but luckily the tag team titles mean absolutely nothing now. So it's just fine and dandy.

I dug Big Show's handicap match to an extent. If you're going to do two on ones with Show, they should be against jobbers. It's fun and can feature some spots that you wouldn't normally see. Plus, since his opponents are prelims, they don't need to save face at all.

How overdone was the visual on Ric Flair after his attack? It looked like he had been shot in the head. (JG Note: Or hit by a sledgehammer, if you get my meaning.) It only made his resurrection by night's end all the more exciting. I was pretty surprised that they would put Masters over as strongly as they did. I still haven't seen enough from him to warrant such a strong push. Whether or not I'm right will play out soon enough. By beating Ric with his Masterlock, Chris rose up the ladder considerably. Now we'll finally see what he's really got. The match itself dragged on a bit, though.

Cena-Angle on the microphone was OK. I like when Angle does the intensity thing and Cena has a natural charisma about him. He's learning how to get the crowd to back him up, no matter how dumb his scripted words are. This feud has barely begun and may have the stuff to headline this brand for a long while.

Fun show tonight. Nothing more, nothing less. There wasn't too many super important things going, but enough to keep you occupied. Also, Ashley, the new Diva girl, seems to be pretty good, so that's a plus. Everything's going nicely for Raw right now. It just doesn't feel right, though. Ooooo....I can't wait for Triple H to come back and spit water on everyone!

Before I go, I want to send out some good thoughts to my Raw Reviewing Tag Partner Mallory Mahling, who's area is currently battling Hurricane Katrina. Her review was missed tonight and we're definitely thinking about her.

Thanks for reading everyone. See you next Monday!
