Seeing Xavier taking on Burchill this week on Velocity was weird enough for me. Anyone know why he doesn't wretle full time any more?

Velocity is pretty good this week barring the main event tag. Kendrick vs. Dean is pretty good (Dean takes this brutal bump from a dropkick on the ring ropes), so is Burchill vs. Xavier and Paul London vs. Noble is exactly how you'd expect.

Watching Velocity. Xavier (yes the former ROH champion) is wrestling Burchill.

Didn't you guys ever listen to Gorilla, Kama knew "every martial art".

Finshers are terrible, they take away from teh heat of the match, since most people just pop for the finisher.

Wow, I just ordered the DVD of the match based on that. That's some intensity they have going on there. Personally I'd rather a 10 minute match that intense and hate filled then a 45 minute one at a slower pace. I'm actually sick of "Finishers" because everyone expects them to be the finish, it takes away from the unpredictability of wrestling.

Checkmate The OMAC Project team of writer Greg Rucka and artist Jesus Saiz creat a new Checkmate with a mix of familar metahumans and "normals" runing the show.

Hawkgirl With Hawkman M.I.A., Kendra Saunders tries to fill the wings, but, as writer Walt Simonson notes, that's easier said than done. "She's trying to fill the void Carter has left, but she doesn't have his experience," explains Simonson, who is joined by artist Howard Chaykin. "Also, an ancient evil of S.t Roch is rishing up and causing violent, nasty stuff." Ion Kyle Rayner is reunited with his creator, writer Ron Marz, but is it with or without the Green Lantern Corps?

But the publisher promises both announcements will make major waves, so stay turned.

Agreed. What's terrible is on the radio they had an intro of some woman saying it's the sexiest song all year. Scared the hell out of me that people could find that sexy.

Yeah they did. They didn't want to get sued by M.Bison (Mike Tyson) so they changed it around.

I hope AJ never stubs a toe, he may have to retire. On one hand people are saying wrestlers should take it easier and look out for their health, and when one does take precautions, you call him a pussy? I realize there's a massive difference between roid & pill abuse and a busted face but we shouldn't be shitting on these dudes for not wanting to fuck themselves up any more than necessary. I busted my lip up once and needed stitches. If he needed stitches it takes a long time to heal and even the slightest knock can make it bleed again.

Rey/Benoit vs. Malenko/Jericho as the main event would be amazing.

Store a finisher and then get full momentum. Then stun them and hit your finisher.

When he lets go and has a good story he's pretty good. I thought he was even good as the intense Brother D-Von

Bash At The Beach? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Halloween Havoc 1997

Savage vs. 'Terrific' Terry Tayloe Savage vs. DiBiase Wrestlemania IV Savage vs. DDP (the good one) Savage/Bret vs. Flair/Michaels

This guy to make top 10. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can't forget and

Easy, Mistico for me. Amazing draw, great matches. What more could you ask for?

I can't believe that they've made the movie three hours with just a basic premise for a story.

On a side note, Kid Kash vs. Brian Kendrick is a pretty fun match. Great opening sequence to it.

Well their debut match aired here just before. Their finisher is pretty swank and so are a few of their double team moves. Outside of that they're pretty standard.

D-Lo and Kidman are talking to Victor and asking him if hes slept with any of his co-stars. He says a gentleman never reveals his conquests and then says his date is there. He walks off with Dawn Marie and Kidman and D-Lo can't believe it.

Really good stuff, Juvi pulls out some stuff that hasn't been seen in the WWE. Well worth watching, runs 12 minutes with commercials so should be uncut online. Just thought I'd give the heads up not to miss this.

Double Post

"I can't wait to wrestle Especially with Jillian. Bubba Dudley told us our matches were like Trish and Lita. We were believable. " That line had me laughing for a bit, Lita is believable???
