Superstar Billy Graham's wrestling topic

Title changes CAN keep things interesting, but judging by the crowd just not giving a shit about Chavo... at all, I don't think his is going to do that. Punk's was one the crowd cared about a great deal, and was an effective way to have a title change on TV - Chavo's wasn't, but it served a storyline purpose.
 
Looks like I'm going to Raw in Anaheim on 2/18. It's the first WWE wrestling show I've gone to since the Invasion PPV.

About Lashley...

[quote name='NoDQ.com via PWInsider']The latest on the Bobby Lashley situation is that he has definitely informed WWE that he wants to leave the company. There are a lot of reasons for him wanting to do so. The word we have gotten is that part of it has to do with how his girlfriend Kristal Marshall was treated by the company when she balked at being paired with Edge and doing the Lita gimmick, and was then quickly released. Let's just say that there is a line of thought that at least part of why she didn't want to do the angle was fear of a racial element being added to the storyline by the Smackdown creative staff.

There also appears to be other issues behind the scenes where Lashley reportedly feels like he hasn't been treated well himself while he has been out rehabbing. There is said to have been little communication between Lashley and Vince McMahon and no firm plans in place to get him back on TV now that his injury has healed and this was frustrating to him.

At this point, Lashley needs to negotiate an official release from WWE as he is still under contract (and thus is still listed on the company website). As always in this business, things can change at the drop of a hat but for now, his plan is to move on from WWE and then plan the next phase of his life.[/QUOTE]
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']That image, while funny-ish, isn't quite accurate, as TNA does have a drug policy of some kind in place - the baseline tests were taken before the most recent TV tapings.[/QUOTE]

If TNA's way of handling a testing policy is like the WWE's idea.... then expect it to be just as realistic as, say, Mark Henry becoming the greatest cruiserweight of all time.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']It was pretty well known that the EEC was going to be his "last" match and after the string of fantastic matches (well, on ECW) where he put his body on the line, he deserved it.

In fact, the way they handle Big Show was almost classic ECW. They took a talent that wasn't being used properly elsewhere, managed to rebuild his character/make him into a credible threat and won over the fans.[/QUOTE]

That's true. Thanks for the history lesson. And while I agree about TBS being used "properly" in ECW, it takes a dimwit of immense proportions to not be able to use someone of that size well. Which, for the life of me, means I can't figure out how he was misused during damn near all his WCW and WWE careers.

[quote name='neocisco']I was there as well. Very accurate description, couldn't have said it any better. Hardys/MNM was incredible. I should've just left after that match. December I Wish I Didn't Remember.[/QUOTE]

If I recall the EC (there was nothin' extreme about it, k?) order correctly, it was a blatant "fuck you" in the face of ECW wrestling fans. Sabu being pulled, and Punk and RVD going out of the match very early on - so they didn't even tease the possibility of those two having a chance in hell. Everything about that night was a 180 from the ONS shows (the first two, at least): they were parties, tribute shows to great wrestling, great wrestlers, edgy booking, big spots, and a crowd of self-righteous assholes. The crowd made ECW what it was, and while I may not like everything about them, they provided a critical element that made the program interesting. Even the fucking virgins in the front row at every show. December to Dismember, OTOH, was more like that internet meme photo of the girl crying (the "You can't have a pony" over her head, with a smallish photo of a pony, and "not yours" above it); it was WWE's opportunity to say, to use the metaphor they like to use, that they were tired of you, the fans, and that they were taking their ball and going home with it. They're going to play by themselves now.

[quote name='JaytheGamefan']Lashley certainly has wrestling ability, and to not at least give him credit for this is just bewildering to me, as it's about all he had going for him aside from BIG MUSCLES... which went away, as shown by a recent pic of him and Torrie Wilson at the Nick Awards.[/QUOTE]

No. He's another Batista/Hercules motherfucker. Dude had the charisma of Van Hammer and zero interesting moves. He didn't interact with the crowd in his matches - he relied on getting "ooh" and "aah" reactions from power moves. He's not a terrible wrestler, but he sure is expendable. Lashley's gone, eh? Well, bring on up one'athem muscle-headed fuckos from OVW, like Anthony Bravado or Andrew Vain, put him the in the same spot, and they'll never miss a beat. Lashley had skills in the ring about as much as Lex Luger did.

I do agree that, if we are to believe his reasons for leaving (out of respect for the Kristal angle and the pseudo-sexual/race-based direction is was alleged to take), then he does have class for bowing out. That will still be the case if she invariably leaves him. ;) But I do agree - when day in and day out, there are so precious few wrestlers in WWE who aren't lily white males, that get treated with gimmicks that don't degrade their race or ancestry (someone name me one guy outside of Lashley who's never been put in a racist gimmick or angle in WWE). Lashley was a nice exception, and I respect him for wanting to keep other people that way.

I'm also with those who think the shirt he's wearing makes him look more slender. If he lost muscle anywhere, it looks like it's in the shoulder area - which is where he was injured, right?

EDIT: TNA has a drug policy in place? :rofl: Yeah, and so does the WWE. :rofl:
 
Best start practicin', then.

Although all the Lashley=TMNT jokes are funny, I wouldn't put it past Dutch Mantel to paint the motherfucker green and wrap a headband around his eyes.
 
[quote name='onetrackmind']I got the Bret Hart Autobiography for my birthday from my girlfriend and i'm about 2/3rds through it and i don't know if i can read anymore. The first 1/3rd was excellent, but the second half so far contains too much self fellatio. If i have to read one more time about some bullshit story about Bret having to carry everyone on the roster because no one can work or tell a compelling story i'm going to bash my head in the wall. I've never rolled my eyes so much reading a autobiography before.[/quote]

What were you expecting from the biggest Bret Hart mark ever? Let's face it he's the most self-absorbed guy ever to step in the ring. His ego is even worse than Hogan's. At least Hogan did something for the wrestling biz, what the hell did Bret Hart do? He was a crappy, whiny heel that no one wanted to watch, so when it was his turn to carry the company people tuned out and watched WCW.
 
[quote name='Zen Davis']Punk vs. Edge is the main event for Smackdown.[/quote]

See, it's already happening. I'm not Punk's #1 fan, but the guy is too talented to toil away on ECW, especially when SD desparately needs new faces.

[quote name='JaytheGamefan']he was in 'Mania's biggest-drawing match last year (which was the biggest money-making 'Mania show of all-time), perhaps her could equal it or surpass it.[/quote]

How was Trump/McMahon Mania's biggest drawing match? I was there dude, no one was there to see Trump/McMahon, 80%+ wanted to see Taker win the title, and the remaining 20% of children and their dads were there to see Cena.

Furthermore of course it's going to be the biggest money making Mania when you jack the price for the show up again. This is basic economics, I'd like to see how they rank if adjusted for inflation.

Agreed. Has ECW even had a hardcore match since Show left? I hope upon his return he's on Raw or SD as a top heel. While undoubtedly brutal, part of me wants to see Khali vs Big Show. We'll make it one of those Punjabi matches for shits n giggles.
 
Quick Raw fantasy booking. I'm full of shit, and know it, so whatever.

1. Hardy over Orton for the WWE title. Yes, I said it. HHH wins the rumble, obviously.

2. No Way Out: Have a 16-man tournament for the IC title. HHH competes, but gets screwed over by Kennedy in the semis. Kennedy goes over Shawn Michaels cleanly in the finals.
2a. Orton-hardy rematch. Hardy goes over again.

3. Wrestlemania: HHH-Hardy ends just like Armageddon does, cleanly, respectfully, except this time HHH goes over.
3a. Kennedy retains the IC title in a three-way w/Carlito and Santino. (I know, I know, but it's my fantasy).
3b. On RAW the next night, Kennedy disrupts HHH's 20-minute opening promo and lays down verbal smack... leading to a feud over the WWE title starting at Judgement Day, or even Vengeance. Slow build-up to a payoff. All the while, KK is actually defending the IC title, too! HEY, novel concept of defending the #2 title at a PPV!

4. At the draft, [WWE tag champs] and [World tag champs] trade spots on their respective TV shows, bringing all titles back into alignment -- WWE titles on Raw, and "WCW" heritage titles on Smackdown. At this point, people have already been reminded that the IC title exists, and it's gaining prestige. (The goal is to bring us back to the day where the IC champ was considered the #1 contender to the WWE title.) Start doing the same with the WWE Tag Titles. They don't have to be defended every week, but build up some freaking tag teams!

...

15. At some point, ECW dies with a whimper.

-----------------------
REALITY

1. Orton wins. I mean, come on. It's not even Jeff's first WWE title match. We know better.
2. HHH goes over at WM. OK, I have that one right.
3. The IC title still means jack shit.
4. At the draft, just to spite me, they'll swap the IC title with the US title.
5. ECW will still live on. :/

Anyway. Anyone wanna poke holes in my fantasy, go ahead... but give us an alternate scenario of your own.

It was quite intense actually. I believe Burke got the win over Sabu when he pulled off the Elijah express on Sabu and sent Sabu's head through a table in the corner.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]January 24th: The Steel Cage is loaded on the ring truck and the crew has left for the big show tomorrow night at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds on 1043 S. Main St in Dayton, Ohio with a zip code of 45409. Belltime is 8pm and there will be tickets available at the door. The main event will see Chris Hero vs. Nigel McGuinness in a ROH World Title Steel Cage Match!!! In an interesting development, super agent Larry Sweeney has just negotiated for Hero to tour Pro Wrestling NOAH and miss ROH's 6th Anniversary Show in Manhattan. Hero says when he defeats Nigel that he will defend the belt in Japan on 2/23 instead of in NYC. Sweeney says that ROH better accept all his demands now because once Hero has the belt he will have all the leverage. Will ROH be at the mercy of Sweet & Sour Inc? They also feel they have a huge advantage as it will be nearly impossible for Nigel to execute the Jawbreaker Lariat inside the Steel Cage. The World Title will be in jeopardy in Dayton. Get your tickets at the door to witness this epic bout tomorrow night!!!

January 24th: You can expect another huge event at the Frontier Fieldhouse on 9807 Sayre Ave. in

It will be a monumental night as ROH aces and rivals Austin Aries & Bryan Danielson team up vs. Erick Stevens & Jay Briscoe in a dream partner tag team match. Can Aries & Danielson co-exist as a team and if so, how good can they be? Stevens has a tidal wave of momentum behind him after defeating both Aries and Danielson in singles matches earlier this month. Aries and Danielson want their win back. Jay Briscoe is one half of the best tag team in the world. This one has all the makings of a classic. Get your tickets at the door and witness tag team wrestling at its best this Saturday in Chicago!!!

The final fall with the last two teams will be for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Can The Age Of The Fall survive another Ultimate Endurance after the show stealing one earlier this month in Boston?

January 24th: Speaking of The Age Of The Fall, they have been putting out some videos on rohvideos.com that seem to be trying to recruit someone. Tyler Black's blog at AgeOfTheFall.com seems to indicate that this has nothing to do with the mystery guy they have set to debut this weekend. We hope to get some answers in Dayton and Chicago.

That extreme rules match sticks out to me because Burke sold his knees like a fucking champ after doing the Express through the table. Damn that was a great match.

xcoax, maybe watching it will help you be less jaded, as it's one of the best matches on ECW TV in '07, as was the Morrison-Punk (Punk title win) match for the ECW Title which somehow managed to be very entertaining without chairs, weapons, or other gimmicky bullshit. It was just two men fighting for a title and it was great.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']I care if Lashley leaves, I rather enjoyed his presence. I probably am the only one here that does though.[/QUOTE]

I cared too. Sure he was nothing more than a black Brock Lesnar wannabe. And sure, he should have never gone to ECW or win the ECW strap, but he was a pretty decent mid-carder on Smackdown!
 
http://fcwwrestling.com/site_talents.htm

I haven't seen all these guys wrestle, but of those I'd expect to see the following used in non-jobber spots on the main roster at some point:
The Bella Twins (twins? hot? McMahon already has a hard on for this duo.)
Ted DiBiase Jr. (handsome, built, and the son of one of the finest heels of the late 1980's WWF boom period)
Jake Hager (this guy's okay in the ring, and he's an OU grad - boomer sooner!)
Rob Terry (take a wild fuckin' guess why I think this)
Rycklon Stephens (dude has a Bad News Brown look about him that shows he can easily get people to dislike him)

The rest are pretty throwaway, IMO - even if I really like Shawn Osborne as a wrestler (he's too short, like Mike Mondo), and also Chet The Jett (getting busted on wellness before going to the main roster isn't a very good idea).

Yeah, I didn't remember that match at all. The last hardcore match I remembered was I think at the last time they ever went to the hammerstein ballroom in which Test put Dreamer through a table and the entire thing lasted about two minutes. Then again the main event was Show vs. Batista, so maybe that just left a terrible taste in my mouth.

And I totally agree about the Punk/Morrison matches. Those were up there with the Cena/HBK hour long match for my favorite of last year.
 
A couple days ago I continued my Royal Rumble watching marathon and got through the 2000 Royal Rumble. Watching the main event of Cactus Jack vs. Triple H for the World Title in a street fight made me remember that it's my favorite single wrestling match of all time.

The moment leading into the match where Foley reveals that he'll be competing as Cactus Jack as opposed to Mankind still gives me goose bumps.

Anyhow, I'm curious about some people's favorite matches. I know it's tough to pick one but please try.
 
As a child, that's easy: Demolition v Powers of Pain/Mr. Fuji at Wrestlemania V. I fuckin' loved Demolition.

As an (ugh) "smart" fan? I'll have to think about that one.
 
Bret vs. Perfect from Summerslam '91, Bret vs. Bulldog from Summerslam '92, Cactus Jack/Maxx Payne vs. Nasty Boys from Spring Stampede '94, HBK vs. Razor from WM X, HBK vs. Bret ladder match, Flair vs. Steamboat from WrestleWar '89, Flair vs. Funk from GAB '89, War Games '89, and a bunch of others that I just can't recall.
 
- The Lilsboys from The Sun in the United Kingdom have a new interview now online with number one contender Jeff Hardy. Hardy says that he is in his best spot ever and no matter what happens that he would like to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania. He goes on to say that working with Rey Mysterio would be his dream match.
Click to expand...

I have a feeling he might just get both of his wishes simultaneously. The good news is this suggests there will definitely be a MITB 4 this year. I'm guessing Jeff and Rey will both be in it.


As for my favorite matches, goodness that IS tough... there's some great wrestling matches I've loved, then matches I liked because of a great build up and matches I liked because I saw something totally new.

I'd say, Savage vs Steamboat at WM3 would be up there, Hogan vs Savage at WM5 might be my all-time favorite, the Hardyz vs Edge & Christian in their first ladder match to conclude the T.I.T.

As for matches I've seen live, I'd say I've seen my fair share of live matches. Hell I was even *lucky* enough to see Jimmy Jacobs himself wrestle back when he was 16 years old. I was either 17 or 18 at the time... I should've started wrestling. Anyway, I'd have to go with either Taker vs Batista at WM23 or Taker vs Kurt vs Rock at Vengeance, where Rock won his last title. That was a fantastic match.
 
I wish I could remember more, but the match that always stands out to me is Jeff Hardy vs. Undertaker in a ladder match for the title.
 
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs0pyWCNEIY[/media]

I had no fuckin' IDEA such a thing existed. Big ups for Wrestlecrap's RD Reynolds (also a CAG) for unearthing this...er...yes. Just click play, then.
 
I liked my goonies video with Sheik and Nikolai milking a cow better. That really wasn't any different than a normal Warrior match, just extra background music...

I absolutely ate up the Flair/Steamboat matches from '89. Those truly were epic, arguably even better than Savage/Steamboat at WM3 (which was phenomenal).

I dunno what ColoursTV is - but, hey, the rollerderby league I work for has bouts televised on "MavTV," so my guess is that it's somewhere in that area of prominence.

Indeed. Funny you mention Scrap Iron Pearce, cos they had him in a match with Sean X-6-Syxx-Pac Waltman for the "NWA Heritage" title.

The show was cobbled together from different matches, most of which looked like they were taped with camcorders in different arenas. Hosted by "Iron Man" Rob Conway and David Marquez. One of the matches looked like it was in a hotel convention hall, and another one the mat looked like it was duct taped together from three different pieces.
 
Bet "looked like it" could be replaced with "was" and your sentence would be spot on. NWA is just a name anymore, just like ECW is just a name. There's no money, no prestige, no names involved anymore. I don't think NWA will ever regain even the slightest modicum of prominence if they think they can continue to exist as a territory system anymore (likely the main reason for all the variation in "arenas" you saw).

It's something that worked in the early through middle 20th century - but just like the milk man bringing glass gallons to your door, it just doesn't work anymore. The wrestlers and financial resources are there (lots of indies get to use name talent still) - but the infrastructure and egos make it a PITA, I'm sure.

...was the actual wrestling any good?

something against somoans...? :)
 
Good main event, okay X title match (it was sure good to see Devine legally win the title for the belt that he legally won months ago). I enjoyed seeing Lethal act like a human being for once, while Joe looked like a world-beater again (although he needs to move up from beating down people after they've been bloodied in title matches).

Hoyt and Rave as Guitar Heroes, complete with Hemme's over-the-top intro was hilarious, as was Curry Man. I haven't enjoyed a Daniels match that much in a long time. The Shark Boy stuff is... something. It's kinda funny, but Austin's act is already a self-parody, so aside from mocking WWE and giving Shark Boy more TV time, I can't really figure out a point to doing it. The Tenay-Abyss sitdown was funny mainly due to a BARB WIRE MASSACRE seeming like an afterthought on this show, and the sight of Abyss is "street clothes" with his mask on.

it was surreal to see WWE footage in the UFC ad for a show that was built up on TNA. Other than the "as real as it gets" tag at the end, WWE looks pretty good, as they pushed Brock to the top, and now he's a mixed martial artist, and it would look for WWE if he did well. UFC looks professional for not resorting to just using photos of his WWE run, and TNA looks... major league by association.

Nash - I grew up in the south side of Detroit, and there was always two ways of doing things - the easy way and the hard way. Jim, let’s do it the easy way - come down here and make things right. I’ll go back, talk to him and mediate. Or, you could ignore this and Joe can come into the Impact Zone and you can deal with him face-to-face! So Jimbo! What’s it gonna be!
Tenay - KEVIN NASH IS LAYING OUT THE OPTION TO TNA MANAGEMENT’S JIM CORNETTE! WAIT, THAT ISN’T JIM CORNETTE, THAT’S MATT MORGAN!
DW - I don’t know he can rectify the situation.
Morgan - It’s not the ‘90s anymore, Kev, NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, Grand daddy cool. NWO Wolfpac - dead, the NWO Period - dead, they haven’t had any relevance since I was in fifth grade playing dodge ball. Your career is on life support, at best. There’s a new giant in TNA, grand daddy cool, I’m bigger, stronger, younger, and better. And don’t forget, at the end of the day, MATT MORGAN IS THE LAW! I’m gonna give you the favor of leaving my ring peacefully or being forced out of it!
Nash - DON’T YOU EVER DISRESPECT ME, PUNK! (Morgan attacks Nash)
Joe - Cornette, Big Kev came out here, he begged AND HE ASKED YOU NICELY to do it the easy way, but me and Big Kev, we do it the hard way! So Jimmy Cornette, get ready, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE NAME… SAMOA JOE!!
Tenay - It’s gonna be the hard way! TO THE BACK WITH JB!
J.B. - Yup, tonight we’ve got THE 2007 YEAR END AWARDS AND TWO BIG TITLE MATCHES!
Angle - What are you doing, running down the card?
J.B. - Yes, you told me to just be the interviewer, right?
Angle - Yes, BUT THE ANGLE ALLIANCE HAS A PROBLEM and we need your attention!
Karen - AJ, fly, soar… you’re the prince of phenomenal!
Crystal - Christian Cage, later tonight they’re naming the TNA MVP of 2007, is this the award you expect to win?
Cage - Let me answer your question with your question - Should I start writing my acceptance speech? MY PEEPS HAVE NEVER LET ME DOWN! Now, onto this sitdown with Tomko and Angle, Tomko’s said he’s his own man, and I can respect that, but let AJ do it on his own, Kurt.
Tenay - After two years of abuse, Ms. Brooks snapped!
Tenay - LOOK AT PAYTON BANKS, SHE’S GOT THE GLASSES, THE BLACK HAIR… SHE LOOKS MORE AND MORE LIKE TRACI! IS IT JUST ME?!
DW - No.
(EY takes a bump off his pyro, then prepares to punch it)Tenay - IS THERE ANYTHING MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE ENTRANCE OF SHOWTIME ERIC YOUNG?
DW - At Against All Odds, he’s gonna have to defend that… drinking championship belt.
Tenay - Don, I’M THINKING ABOUT THAT SIX-MAN TAG STREET FIGHT because if the Motorcity Machine Guns and Jay Lethal don’t win, the X division has to disband, THINK OF WHAT THAT COULD TO DO THE GURU SONJAY DUTT’S UPWARD MOMENTUM IN TNA!
Tenay - We want to thank the viewers of Impact, yes, last week it was our most-watched Impact. Thanks for your continued support of TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION WRESTLING!
DW - I hope you stuck around for you
Tenay - I keep looking at Ms. Banks, it’s kind of stalker-ish, reminds me of Single White Female!!
DW - GOOD POINT ABOUT BRINGING UP THAT MOVIE! Oh, he hurts him where it hurts the most!
DW - Boy, looking at Banks really makes you wonder who she was stalking from the beginning!
DW - At Against All Odds, the Guru’s career is on the line!
Tenay - IN A MATCH HE’S NOT EVEN IN!
DW -BOY THAT’S A GOOD POINT!
(chicks catight)Crowd - TNA! TNA! TNA!
Tenay - WE’VE JUST RECEIVED WORD THAT BOOKER T HAS ENTERED THE IMPACT ZONE! LET’S GO TO CRYSTAL IN THE BACK!
Crystal - Booker, congratulations on all the TNA Awards you’re up for. How’s Sharmell? Booker…
Tenay - IT’S TIME FOR THE X DIVISION STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD!
J.B. - THE WINNER IS, THE BLACK MACHISMO, JAY LETHAL!
Tenay - YES, YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD, TNA WRESTLING FANS, YOU VOTED ONLINE, YES, BLACK MACHISMO JAY LETHAL - X DIVISION STAR OF THE YEAR!
DW - Think of the year he’s had - he won the X division title a couple of times AND PINNED OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST KURT ANGLE!
Tenay - At Against All Odds, THE ENTIRE X DIVISION COULD BE ABOLISHED!
DW - LOOK AT THE BODY LANGUAGE OF
Lethal - WEEELLLL, well (Lethal takes off Macho garb) Week after week, I put my life on the line because I love you!
Tenay - THE FEELING IS MUTUAL, OBVIOUSLY!
Lethal - I do what I can to send you home with a smile, but due to the actions of Team 3D… I’ve lost my smile. I can honestly say, I am mad as Hell and I do not plan on taking it anymore! I plan to start tonight with Johnny Devine! YOU WILL GET THE ASS BEATIN’ THAT TEAM 3D DESERVES! AND I’M NOT GONNA DO IT FOR MYSELF, I’M GONNA DO IT FOR ALL THESE PEOPLE!
Tenay - The youngest man on the TNA roster, HE’S GOT HIS GAME FACE ON!
DW - I HAVEN’T SEEN THAT LOOK IN AGES!
Tenay - NOW, LET’S TO CRYSTAL!
Crystal - Dustin… Black Reign…
Reign - KAZ, YOU’VE STILL GOT MISTY, AND I WANT HER BACK! (Joe kicks his ass, Kaz steals THE DARKNESS FALLS WEAPON and his black wig)
DW - As Prime Time coming’s to the ring, I’m reminded of what happened last week!
Tenay - NO LONGER WRAPPED FROM HEAD TO TOE, SHARKY LOOKS REVITALIZED!
DW - IT’S A BRAND NEW SHARK BOY! THESZ PRESS!
Tenay - HOLY COW, HE’S CHANNELING LOU THESZ!
Tenay - TNA SUCCESSFULLY INVADED JAPAN, WE HAVE WORD ON TNA MOBILE OF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL INVASION!
Tenay - HE STUNNED HIM, AS A MATTER OF FACT! HOW’S THAT FOR A COMEBACK MATCH! He’s asking for a microphone!
Shark Boy - WHAT YOU JUST WITNESSED WAS THE BIRTH OF A NEW AND IMPROVED SHARK BOY! FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS, I SAID FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS, EVERYBODY AND HIS MOTHER HAS STOMPED A MUDHOLE IN MY ASS. WEEK AFTER WEEK, SOME SORRY SON A BITCH KNOCKS LITTLE SHARKY DOWN, WELL GUESS WHAT, YOU LITTLE SONS OF BITCHES, YOU AIN’T GONNA SEE THAT NO MORE! NA NAH!! SHARK BOY 24:7 SAYS I JUST BIT YOUR ASS! AND THAT’S THE FISHIN’ LINE ‘CUZ SHARK BOY SAID SO!
Tenay - YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT IT IS! SHARKY 24:7, HE JUST BEAT YOUR ASS! WHAT THE HELL’S HE GOT? CLAM JUICE! SHARK BOY, NEW AND IMPROVED, HE’S DOWNING THE CLAM JUICE! IT’S THE REBIRTH OF SHARK BOY! New AND Improved!
Tenay - IT’S TIME TO FIND OUT WHO THE 2007 KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR WILL BE!
J.B. - I’M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE 2007 KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR IS MS. GAIL KIM!
Tenay - COULD THERE BE A MORE DESERVING CANDIDATE, DON?
DW - No.
Gail - First off, I just want to thank everyone for making me the 2007 knockout of the year, it has been an incredible year, thank you! You’re gonna have to excuse me tonight, because I’m still suffering from a concussion suffered in my match with Kong two weeks ago. It should be a night of celebration for me, but it’s not. The TNA knockouts title means everything to me, it means everything to women’s wrestling! Kong, you’ve got the title around your waist, BUT YOU’RE A DISGRACE TO IT, we break out backs for it, and you just care about hurting people! You mean have put me down, but you HAVE NOT PUT ME OUT!
DW - THAT’S THE FIRE! AND THAT’S AWESOME KONG!
Tenay - YES, THAT RECOGNIZEABLE ENTRANCE MUSIC SIGNALS THE ENTRANCE OF AWESOME KONG! THERE’S THAT ASSOCIATE WE NOW KNOW IS SAID! HERE COMES ODB! IT’S ODB AGAINST KONG AT AGAINST ALL ODDS! LET’S GO TO THE BACK WITH JB. AND KURT ANGLE!
Angle - Join the Angle Alliance, and you get all the perks that AJ gets.
Tomko - What’s he get?
Angle - Fast cars, food, money, Karen…
Tomko - What can she do for me?
Angle - She’s an… inspiration.
Tomko - I have a wife and kids, they’re my inspiration.
Angle - Come on, it’s KAREN, not some girl you picked up from a strip club (Tomko attacks Angle)
DW - THEY’RE FIGHTING INTO THE IMPACT ZONE!
Crowd - TOM-KO! TOM-KO!
Tenay - THE TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS REELING!
Angle - YOU BLEW IT, TOMKO! YOU AND ME NEXT WEEK! I JUST HOPE YOUR STRIPPER WIFE HAS THE NIGHT OFF, SHE’S GONNA HAVE TO TAKE YOUR ASS TO THE HOSPITAL!
Crystal - Johnny Devine, tonight, you get a chance to… rightfully…take the X division title from Jay Lethal.
Devine - Tonight, Lethal, we’re gonna find out that you’re good, but you’re not devine!
Ray - Brother Devine, you’re gonna win! Guns, you like cracking jokes about me and my brother, Devon has never looked better - he’s 305 - ripped chiseled and jacked! We’re gonna beat you all over the building, and we can pin you anywhere, even her chest ‘cuz it’s so damn flat!
Tenay - This may take some explanation - Devine’s the challenger, but he’s got the belt.
DW - Strangely, Jay Lethal has a chance to get HIS BELT back in HIS POSSESSION!
Tenay - Yes, HE’S THE CHAMPION WITHOUT A BELT!
DW - He has a chance to get his belt back!
Tenay - Yes, it was STOLEN BY TEAM 3D AND JOHNNY DEVINE!
DW - Think about what’s at stake at Against All Odds - not just the X division, but Team 3D is gone!
Tenay - Yes, they have to get down to 275 if they want to compete in TNA!
DW - I think Devon could lose the 40-50 pounds he needs to, but I don’t think Ray can lose the 80-90 pounds he needs to lose!
Tenay - THAT WAS DON WEST, BY THE WAY!
Tenay - Look at the bloody head of Johnny Devine!
DW - I’m not sure if it happened due to the DDT on the garbage can, or the 15 garbage can shots to the head!
Tenay - Lethal looks more serious than we’ve seen in months and months!
Tenay - Lethal’s got the kendo stick that Devine’s famous for, BATTER UP! HERE COMES TEAM 3D!
DW - HE JUST KILLED ‘EM WITH A CROSS BODY BLOCK!
Tenay - BUBBA RAY’S GOT A KENDO STICK!
DW - KENDO STICK TO THE BACK! HE’S PUTTING DEVINE ON LETHAL! NO! NO! NO!!!
Tenay - WHAT A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!
DW - JOE’S COMING TO THE RING! COQUINA CLUTCH! YOU CAN TAP OUT ALL YOU WANT, DEVINE!
Tenay - Let’s take it to my sitdown interview with Abyss!
Tenay - Abyss, is James Mitchell your father?
Abyss - I wear this mask every day because I’M ASHAMED OF WHAT BLOOD RUNS THROUGH MY BODY! YES, HE IS MY FATHER!
Tenay - We understand that you have issued a potentially career-threatening match against Judas Mesias…
Abyss - YES! LOOK AT THESE SCARS! THEY’RE FROM THE SCARS OF THE FIRST BARB WIRE MASSACRE! BUT THE SCARS I INFLICT ON JUDAS IN THE SECOND WILL NEVER HEAL!
Tenay - LET’S GO TO THE RING WITH J.B., WHO IS HERE WITH KENDALL GILL, WHO IS UP NEXT ON PROS VS. JOES!
J.B. - Speaking of memorable moments, you’re on the next season of PROS VS. JOES, AND I’VE SEEN A PREVIEW, IT PREMIERES NEXT AFTER IMPACT, WITH KURT ANGLE!
Grove - THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF THE YEAR IS “BOOKER T COMES TO TNA!”
DW - Every time a legend like Booker T comes to TNA, the crowd pop is unforgettable! I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO 2008, BECAUSE IT’S GONNA BE THE YEAR OF BOOKER T!
Tenay - I think it’ll be his year because HE CAME SO LATE IN 2007 AT THE GENESIS PPV!
Booker - First thing I wanna say is Sharmell, I know you’re watching back at home - I love you very, very much. It’s a real hard time for me, I’ve been hurt several times, but I’ve never been hurt like this before!
DW - I THINK HE BLAMES HIMSELF!
Booker - It’s been real hard for me and I will get over it real, real soon. Thank you.
J.B. - Book, when are we gonna see you back in the ring?
Booker - I don’t know, wrestling is the last thing on my mind. Sharmell comes first.
Roode - Truth is, this really is your fault.
Tenay - ROBERT ROODE!?
Roode - It really is your fault, I never thought you’d accept my mixed tag match challenge - what kind of man would put their wife in that kind of situation. I know Robert Roode wouldn’t do that. We’re both professional wrestlers, and I did what had to do, just like you would have. Go home, see your wife, and do Robert Roode a favor!
Tenay - It was one of the sickest moments in TNA history when Robert Roode broke the jaw of Sharmell. TO THE BACK WITH CRYSTAL AND THE ARMSTRONGS!
BG - I know TNA wants ratings, but Crystal, put this on. I’m gonna go on a little vaca to Mexico.
Bob - Son, I’m old, not dead. We’re gonna do some hard training. You remember boot camp, doncha? You’re gonna wake up at 5 AM - simple fire, do or die!
BG - I really don’t wanna do this. DAD, DAD!?
Tenay - I know it’s the end of January… do you think they got Guitar Hero for Christmas?
Tenay - I think they’re taking this Rock and Rave Infection thing a little too far.
Rave - WE LOVE YOU CLEVELAND!
Tenay - It’s time for the return of THE LEGENDARY TIGER MASK!
Penzer - HIS PARTNER! HE’S HOT, HE’S SPICY, HE TASTES GREAT! IT’S CURRY MAN!
Tenay - His character, like Tiger Mask, is based on a Japanese animation character, and yes, THAT IS A PLATE OF CURRY ON HIS HEAD!
Tenay - He’s hot, HE’S SPICY!
DW - Yes, he’s hot, he’s spicy!
Crowd - THAT WAS AWE-SOME! THAT WAS AWE-SOME!
DW - Curry Man just did a little jig on top of Jimmy Rave!
Tenay - I just received word that we will see Angle face Tomko, AND AWESOME KONG WILL TALK!
DW - Boy, I’D TURN IN JUST FOR TOMKO VS. ANGLE, BUT KONG SPEAKING?! WOW!
Crowd - CURRY-MAN! CURRY-MAN!
DW - DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE! NO WAY RAVE KICKS OUT OF THAT! HE KICKS OUT AT 2!
Tenay - SPICY RACK!
Tenay - GREAT WIN BY TIGER MASK AND CURRY MAN! BUT DON’T GO ANYWHERE, WHEN WE COME BACK, WE’LL DETERMINE THE TNA MVP!
Brock - This isn’t bullshit - I’M COMING TO WIN THIS FIGHT!
Angle - I’ve sparred with Brock, and I can tell you that he’s the real deal!
Tenay - LET’S SEE WHO YOU’VE VOTED AS THE MVP OF 2007!
J.B. - INTRODUCING THE MVP OF 2007... SAMOA JOE!
DW - HE HAS SO MUCH CHARISMA, HE’S BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THIS YEAR… THAT’S WHY HE’S THE MVP OF 2007!
Tenay - Don’t expect him to put on a happy face because he’s MVP!
Joe - You know, J.B., let’s face it, the fans have spoken. The fans have spoken, and I’m not the most valuable so-called wrestler here in TNA. All these fans voted for me… why hasn’t Samoa Joe gotten his heavyeight title shot?
Tenay - THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION!
J.B. - All these fans know that you got a shot a couple months ago… and didn’t do it.
Joe - That’s the right answer, but it’s also the wrong one (he attacks J.B.)
Cornette - HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND! STOP IT, YOU’LL KILL HIM!
Joe - THIS’LL STOP WHEN I SAY IT STOPS! (he destroys trophy)
DW - HERE COMES KEVIN NASH, HE’S TRYING TO PLAY PEACE MAKER!
Cornette - I know what you’re feeling, you got screwed, it was a bad call, but it happens in every sport and it happened to you! But there’s nothing we can do to change it - the match is made! Angle vs. Cage at Against All Odds, that’s gonna happen, but I WANNA MAKE YOU THE SPECIAL GUEST ENFORCER!
DW - That’s not gonna appease him!
Cornette - If you do that, I’LL GIVE YOU A SHOT AT THE MARCH PAY-PER-VIEW, DESTINATION X! (Joe shakes head “NO”)
Cornette - WHAT DOES SAMOA JOE WANT?
Joe - A five-year, exclusive deal where I get paid 15% more than Kurt Angle. If you do that, Jimmy, I might just stop acting the way you don’t like me to act.
Cornette - You couldn’t give me a little time to think about this?
Joe - Well, these people are telling me…
Cornette - FINE, YOU’VE GOT IT!
Tenay - JOE IS FINALLY HAPPY! ON THAT NOTE, LET’S TAKE IT TO THE TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Tomko - AJ, you my friend are about THIS FAR FROM BECOMING A PROBLEM FOR ME!
Penzer - The following is a DREAM TEAM MATCH FOR THE TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHP!
Tenay - Because of Matt Morgan’s loose lips, where he told Team 3D the plan for the tag title match, Cornette relented and put them into this match!
DW - THIS IS ONE THE BIGGEST MATCHES EVER FOR THE GUNS! Sure, at Against All Odds, the X division is on the line, but TONIGHT THEY COULD BECOME TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! THAT’S IN YOUR FACE, TEAM 3D!
Penzer - The TNA Tag Team champions, Tomko, and the Prince of Phenomenal, AJ Styles!
Tenay - AJ IS WALKING OUT ARM-IN-ARM WITH KAREN, THE BODY LANGUAGE OF TOMKO TELLS THE STORY!
Tenay - DIDJA HEAR THAT!? IT’S THE OPENING BELL FOR OUR MAIN EVENT!
Tenay - TNA management has made the decision that you cannot tag your own partner into this match - you cannot wrestle your own partner!
Tenay - AJ’s taking Karen TO THE BACK!
DW - If Team 3D wins the tag titles, THEY’RE LEAVING WITH SO. MUCH. GOLD! AFTER WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER!

[quote name='Halo05']Anyhow, I'm curious about some people's favorite matches. I know it's tough to pick one but please try.[/quote]

I'll give two...

Lawler vs. Nick Bockwinkel, AWA World Title, January 1984. The additional stip was that each wrestler would be fined $500 for every punch thrown.

The promos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL3LJMQmKpA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmsHSzMIcLU

The match highlights and aftermath:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUoVjxavJS0

It told a great story, where once again our hero (Lawler) tries valiantly to get the top honors, and comes up short due to a technicality. In several cases, it'd be a 60-minute draw instead of the technicality, but you get the idea. The story got told for about 4.5 more years.

Now, for one ya'll might have seen, modern day, on TV... I'm partial to the Benoit-Michaels-HHH match from WM20. Also happens to be the last WWE PPV I've actually bought.

------

No one taking me up on the fantasy booking I posted yesterday? Cowards. :)
 
[quote name='Iron Clad Burrito']Anyway. Anyone wanna poke holes in my fantasy, go ahead... but give us an alternate scenario of your own.[/quote]

I'm still fucking floored when I see TV commercials for "Meet the Spartans."

I honestly have no idea how to react. Pity? Contempt? Sterilizing every person who buys a ticket to that movie tomorrow? High fiving the filmmakers for finding a new way to separate a fool and their money?

Also, that Burnout Paradise commercial will ensure it's the best-selling Burnout game to date. Mark my words.

The first two UWF shows shown on ESPN Classic got a 0.00 rating. Seriously.
