Oh baby yooou... looooook... soooooooooooooooooooooooo........... good to me!

Billy and Chucky (hey, I trust the headband more than Lillian Garcia) seem to be the big movers and shakers in the Little Things department lately.   Two hairstyle changes and a new theme song?   That’s something.   And we’re talking real hairstyle changes here, not Steph’s “I’m going to put four curls instead of two in my hair today” kind of tweaks.  

Anyway, I love it all.   The braids, the spiky ‘do, (I think Chucky lightened up his hair a bit also), the bathrobes, and God help me, the entrance music.   It’s the “My Time” phenomenon.   The first time you hear it you think “Good lord, they can’t expect me to listen to that twice a week, do they?”   But after a few shows it’s in your head so badly that you’re praying for Billy and Chuck to win the match just so you can get your fix of: 

Yooou... looooook... soooooooooooooooooooooooo............. good to me!

By the way, for more on the change in Chucky’s hair style, check out the WWF.com article at www.wwf.com/news/headlines/1115419

Well, besides Billy and Chucky, here’s the rest of rundown:

New commercials – Torn.   Love the Booker T Hungry Man commercial, although I sure wouldn’t mind if that hottie who plays his wife got a little more screen time during the next commercial.   Less impressive is the Kurt Angle 1-800-CALL-ATT commercial, although I’ve actually seen that commercial outside of WWF programming which is something.   The Big Show Stacker II commercials are awful, although the one with the fat guy stuck in the car is a pit more tolerable than the pit stop one.   And they’re not helped by the fact that Show is wearing perhaps the dumbest WWF T-shirt ever.   On the plus side, I’m digging his full beard.  

The Rock’s “Get Ready…Your Candy Ass Is Next!” shirt – Torn.   Can you believe that the Rock wore this shirt ONCE (while getting the crap beat out of him to boot), and it’s the #3 selling WWF product?   Anyway, it’s a little generic, but it’s better than the “we who are truly brave will never live in fear” shirt.  

Christian’s Pyro fizzling out – Loved it.   Not only do you save some dough, you make it part of the story!    Genius!

nWo Entrance – Torn.   I’m always torn on entrances where they use effects that the TV audience sees but the live audience doesn’t (Goldust and D-X’s entrances are other examples).   I think the effect is cool, but I get tired of it pretty easily.   Maybe if they only used it once a week or so it would stay somewhat fresh.   The music is already getting on my nerves.   I’m hoping they have Hall and/or Nash use the old Wolfpack music instead.  

Also, I’ve got to give a big “Hate it” to their outfits, especially Hogan’s “Hollywood” jacket with flames and Hall and Hogan’s way-too-tight jeans.   It’s especially unnerving when Hogan takes the liberty of framing his package with the “down where?” gesture.

Stone Cold’s big gold skull ring (as seen on the 2-14 SmackDown!) – Loved it.   Well, I wouldn’t wear it, but it fits his character pretty well.   I’m surprised it’s not on the WWF ShopZone.   Also not found on ShopZone: Stone Cold’s Leather Jacket from the 2-25 RAW with “BMF” on the front (which, because of the Valentine’s season, I can only assume stands for “Be Mine, Friend”), The Undertaker’s Red Sweatshirt from the 2-21 SmackDown!, and Billy and Chucky’s bathrobes.

Come on everyone!  Yooou... looooook... soooooooooooooooooo................... good to me!

Matt Hardy’s new Uranage-type move being called “the Side Effect” - Hate it.   Here’s the rule.   You get to name your finisher.   You also get to name one other move you do if it’s over enough.   That’s it.   You don’t get to name a random move the first time you do it on TV.   Well, I shouldn’t really bitch too much, as this is most likely going the way of the “Whisper in the Wind” and “the Drop Shot.”

The Hulk Hogan epic production – Torn.   It was cool I guess, and had it’s fair shale of nostalgic moments, but I’m really starting to get tired of these.

And finally, in case you missed it:

• From the 2-14 SmackDown! – for some reason smoke would just not dissipate after the pyros…Booker (sigh) went back to the “diaper” look and wore his white trunks…Val Venis was sporting a rather weird-looking thin goatee.
  

• From the 2-17 RAW – Lance Storm’s music was tweaked a bit…Mr. Perfect missed his gum swat (he’s 3-for-4 at the moment by my count).
  

• From the 2-21 SmackDown! – Nice product placement from Pepsi and Avalon.   I wonder if they paid for that…Billy seems to really be channeling HBK in his entrances.
  

• From the 2-24 Heat – A new Wrestlemania graphic!   Not the “3 weeks until Wrestlemania times 8” one, but another one more in the mode of the recent “Royal Rumble” and “No Way Out” graphics.   You guys need to check out Heat…The Hardys have taken to doing their entrance with the lights of, which is kind of cool when they wear a lot of glow-in-the-dark stuff…Stone Cold stole the bit about making Michael Cole say his catchphrase and cutting him off from the Rock, who did it a couple years ago.   Hmmm, maybe that gag is actually Cole’s idea…Mr. Perfect’s TitanTron has stuff on it from over ten years ago, which has to be a record.
  

• From the 2-28 SmackDown! – There’s an ultra-cheesy WrestleMania commercial now, which I honestly can’t tell if it’s supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek or not…Not only is Hogan going one-on-one with the Rock at WrestleMania, he’s also going one-on-one with him for the title of “gaudiest belt buckle”…Maven’s got an outline tattoo on his left shoulder, which I think is supposed to be of a panther or something…after the main event, Angle had a piece of glitter on him from Goldust’s entrance an hour and a half earlier.   Heard of a broom, people?
  

• Also, during the show I noticed that both Christian and Michael Cole were wearing wedding rings (or at least rings on the third finger of their right hands).  However, Lawler was also wearing one, so unless he’s still pining away for the Kat or has gotten married again recently (which I wouldn’t put above him), the wedding ring observation doesn’t mean a whole lot.
  
  

But do you know who weren’t wearing wedding rings?   That’s right, Chucky and Billy!   So come on everyone, one more time!

Yooou... looooook... soooooooooooooooooooooooo............. good to me!
