Nate

the more i think about this, the whole thing of Benoit going home for a family emergency and now this, i hate to sound morbid i think someone broke into their house causing Benoit to rush home to find his wife and son dead then this killer shot him down in cold blood

man this really sucks some major balls, but it may not have been murder, its possible it may have been Carbon Monoxide, but damn man this sucks

yea that is a bit strange they jumped from September to October that sucks

Worse yet was Dave reporting that Big Vis would be repackaged and turned into a unbeatable monster in order to headline PPVs in early 08 i might be in the minority but i think Vis is much better now then he was in the 1990s, but we know hes gettin fed to Cena

i think some of this is a load of BS, Matt Hardy has had big wins over guys like Kennedy, Booker, Regal and Finlay to name a few, and i dont buy the London/Kendrick notion either otherwise they would have lost last week vs WGTT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p11csWHfQNY it's about 41 seconds into the video. It's like a combination of a Regalplex and Blue Thunder Bomb. thanks alot, thats a pretty wicked move

Night One Tourney Matches: Player Uno vs Niles Young Ice Cream Jr vs Hex Gage Rex Sterling vs Amigo Suzuki El Hijo del Ice Cream vs Lince Dorado Cabana Man Dan vs Chuck Taylor Create A Wrestler vs Hydra Night One Non Tourney Match Ups: Night 2 Tourney Matches: Ricochet vs Chrisjen Hayme Tim Donst vs Shayne Hawke Darin Corbin vs Super Xtremo Billy Roc vs Aaron Draven Soldier Ant vs Rhett Titus Ultra Dragon vs Ryan Cruz Night 2 Non Tourney action: Night 3 Action: ok the best way i can describe CHIKARA its an American Version of Lucha Libre mixed with alot of different styles of wrestling, there's only 2 titles this being one of them and their Tag Titles known as Campeonatos de Parejas, basically in order to be in contention for them you have to win 3 tag matches in a row to be elegible for a title shot, and the Young Lions Cup is basically a title for guys new to the business (i think 5 years or less)

what is an Omega Driver exactly? i cant wait to order the DVDs at some point and the other 2007 shows

i'll check the show out tommorow on Daily Motion, glad to hear that the CW title match got time, maybe WWE will slowly get behind it and make a Jr Heavyweight division matter since it seems TNA treats the X-Division like a low card comedy act, Nitro winning the title is out of left field no question i am not gonna trash him winning the title until i see what WWE does with Nitro and the belt

that would be an awesome Fight Night show, and for the hell of it throw on Hughes/GSP 3 to really draw ratings

Super Xtremo, Player Uno & Moscow the Communist Bovine by pinfall when Mantis used the Praying Mantis Bomb on Xtremo.

Amigo Suzuki by pinfall with a most well mannered frog splash. 4. The Olsen Twins (Jimmy Olsen & Colin Olsen) def. The North Star Express (Ryan Cruz & Darin Corbin) by pinfall when Colin used the ropes for leverage to pin Corbin. The North Stars came out in vintage Minnesota North Stars jerseys.

A hole in the ring apparently came about in this match, but the last 5-7 minutes were said to be excellent anyway. The ring is being fixed. Apparently there was a huge depression in the middle of the ring, indicating possibly a slipped or even broken board. They've got the ring on cinder blocks and Gran Akuma is investigating! Ring is now fixed. Game on. 10. Young Lions Cup Final: Chuck Taylor def. Ricochet by pinfall with the Omega Driver to win the Young Lions Cup, becoming the seventh man to hold the trophy. Chuck made another kid cry. man Chuck Taylor must be a real good heel to make kids cry, i am so ordering these shows when the time comes

RIP Biff even though i wasnt familar to you, anyone got clips of this guy

i wish him all the best, i've heard that name a few times before did he ever call old NWA PPV shows

i dont know i would think they would want to put on the tag title match on the show, and i think people would get burned out on Morishima very quickly, i think the show will go like this: NRC vs Resilience/Delirious Sydal/Claudio Albright/Pelle Morishima/Pearce Steen/Generico vs Briscoes Nigel/Danielson

From ROH boards: Austin Aries is in attendance tonight sitting in General Admission. New setup a large set of bleachers across from hard camera side.This should look great on PPV. Also have received word that ROH will return to Chicago on Saturday September 15th. Pre-show match: Alex "Sugarfoot"Payne and Ernie Osiris defeats Mitch Franklin and Dingo when Sugarfoot pins Dingo.

It's main event time.Danielson vs.Kenta is up now!!Kenta defeats Bryan Danielson with Go 2 Sleep!!Awesome Match!!Show Over!! Attendance was approximately around 1000 people!! sounds like a good show although they are really pushin it taping 6 matches for a 2 hour PPV 7 if you count the Nigel/Danielson they recorded a couple weeks ago, i could see them cutting out the squash matches, interestng twist in making Sydal a heel, and i wonder what will happen with the Aries situation especially if he's still under contract to TNA

hmm that never occured to me, but it seems to be taken somewhat as a comedy type angle, i have heard they may just end it altogether Monday on Raw

great show from UFC shame about Manny though, i think he'll wind up with a contract along with Joe Lauzon and maybe Cole, Rob and Gray, i really think UFC should change their show format to have 6 PPVs a year and 6 to 7 Spike shows, but i guess they have to make money somehow

what in the heck...

this seems to be breaking down into a comedy type storyline, i should send somethin saying i am the one who did it

man that was insane, i've never seen anything like that in MMA ever, i cant wait for Manny vs Nate and then watch Penn own Pulver

My Picks WWE Title: John Cena © vs. Mick Foley vs. Randy Orton vs. King Booker vs. Bobby Lashley Do Or Die for the World Heavyweight Title: Edge © vs. Batista ECW World Title Match: Chris Benoit vs. CM Punk Intercontinental Title Match: Santino Marella © vs. Umaga US Title Match: MVP © vs. Ric Flair World Tag Team Championship: Cade and Murdoch © vs. The Hardy Boyz Cruiserweight Championship Match: Chavo Guerrero © vs. Jimmy Wang Yang Womens Title: Melina © vs. Candice Michelle i dont see Edge losing the title quite yet, as much as i would love to see Punk win its not gonna happen quite yet

i think my head just exploded reading that news, so if i got this right ZUFFA has bought PRIDE but have not finalized the deal to get all the financials, contracts and whatnot and then the guys of DSE are wanting to start up PRIDE 2 basically

thats a very good question, if hes doing this to spite TNA they could come back and sue him for breach of contract if he had gotten physically involved, and it would probably come back to bite ROH on the ass in the long run

i dont really see that happening because of HBK's religious beliefs, the question is when they do find the "suspect" will that person be seen to the fans as a face or heel

here's who did it: i mean he is a robot he could work with explosives
