Wrestling...thats right, Wrestling!

[Bill 213]

I just read the spoilers. Shite how we have to wait 5 days to get it in the UK?


Early reports say this weeks show was much better than last weeks?

I would say about 50% better.  The crowd was waaaaaaaay more into it.  Lots of ECW chants and such, then again it could have been fake chants put in by the editing, but it sounded good.  The first match was really good with a lot of high spots for Sabu, but I think this is where the fake chants came in because the arena booed him, yet a super loud Sabu chant started up. 
The Sandman/Macho Libre mach was pure garbage.  It was basically a dude dressed up like Jack Black's character from the movie acting like Macho Man......Sandman comes down, canes him 3 times and it's over.
Then a bunch of storyline stuff with Cena showing up and the strip with Kelly like last week only this week some new dude came out and put a towel around her. 
Then last match was good, but more WWE style.  Angle and RVD worked real well together.  Edge actually had some really neat moves against RVD which even Tazz complimented him on.

[Evolution]

I think ECW was live this week. RVD/Edge should be a cracker this Sunday. I'm expecting Cena to stick his oar in though.

DX went to shit after HBK left.

Give me the original 3 and throw in Rick Rude.

I think you'd have a hard time convincing Rick's family to exhume his body.  Though I do agree....even dead he's more entertaining (and talented) than 1/2 the WWE roster...Hell, 3/4 of the Smackdown roster!

DX were awesome last night 

[pilferk]

I saw pieces of the show last night (flipping to and from the Yankees game) and will watch the rest tonight.

From what I saw it was a LOT better (I think 50% is pretty much right on) than last week. ?Last week was hard to watch. ?This week the "in ring" action was quite a bit better.

Does anyone else think that Dreamer is going to end up teaming with Show?

[Evolution]

I hope ECW get a big enough roster for a tag divison or something.


Speaking of Tag Titles, Londrick/Mexicools on Friday and Rey/Henry for the World Title.

Should be a good match (tag one obv)

[Evolution]

Haha yeah. I'm thinking Henry for the win.


Batista/Henry at GAB with Batista getting his heat back.

I just saw Raw. I thought it was a pretty solid show.

Though, I didn't know that Foley Flair was 2 out of 3 falls... What the fuck. It's bad enough in that 90% of the time, any match like this these days you pretty much know that it's going to 1-1, but when neither of them are great "wrestlers" anymore..... What's even more annoying is that on the card it is right next to Angle Orton.  Imagine that as two out of three falls....

While I was never a huge fan of that very old school match, probably because I had grown up on one fall, I do remember HHH and the Rock having a classic for the intercontinental belt a few years back.

Angle Orton as 2 outta 3 falls would have been amazing

Flair Foley should have had some stipulation falls, then they could have surprised us by having Foley win the wrestling match and Flair winning a hardcore one or something

[Evolution]

I thought Foley's "I'm gonna have a debacle" speech was hilarious.

[Hammy]

Foley vs Flair 2 out of 3 Falls is ten years to late.....

D-X vs Spirit Squad should be entertaining and they are all (nearly....) talented wrestlers (Sorry Mitch )

Rob Van Dam vs Edge, Kurt Angle vs Randy Orton, both matches have the potential to steal the show.

I'm also looking forward to Sabu vs John Cena, I've enjoyed their little feud, in all honesty Cena does not irritate me now, he still sucks but i find fan hatred towards him amusing and that spot of RAW with Sabu was Fuckin' Awesome! ?They were so close to messing up when Sabu was wobbling on the top rope.....

...Kane vs 'Imposter' Kane wrestling wise will suck but it'll be interesting to see more of this new character.

Umaga vs Eugene....Squash.....'Nuff said.

Carlito vs Shelton Benjamin vs Johnny Nitro. ?This should be a great match, but because of the other potential wrestling classics on the show i can't see them giving this much time, i hope i'm wrong.

[Evolution]

I see a new Intercontinental Champion. I hope for Nitro 

[Hammy]

I see a new Intercontinental Champion. I hope for Nitro?

I expect Benjamin to retain, you know the old rule of coming out on top on the last RAW means you're doomed at the PPV, Benjamin got owned on RAW, plus Nitro isn't good enough in the ring to hold that strap yet....

[Evolution]

plus Nitro isn't good enough in the ring to hold that strap yet....

When has that ever stopped WWE? 


The rule though yeah, I mean Carlito got pinned but then got a backcracker on Shelton. Sometimes they ignore the rule though.

[Jim]

I think that Shelton will retain, by pinning Nitro (I'm convinced that's why he's even in the match.....) so that Carlito remains clean and he can get the belt at Summerslam.

[Evolution]

I want Masters back to feud with Carlito some more 

[axl_rose_700]

I want Masters back to feud with Carlito some more?

That feud never did it for me, maybe it was a face Carlito that annoyed me or maybe cos Masters is shite I dunno I just never got excited by it

[Evolution]

It was pretty impromptu I guess. I thought they had chemistry though.

[axl_rose_700]

I never saw it myself, o well.

has masters gone cos of the drugs policy?

shall we have vengance predictions then?

Mine:

Edge
Shelton
Flair
Orton
Umaga
Imposter Kane
Cena
DX

Looks like a good card! I'll be buyin it!
