Downhome

I'm pissed off that WWE is making me actually like Jeff Hardy once again.

Hacksaw/Eugene beat Vis/Hass, in a dark match. Still, that doesn't mean they wont show up on TV tonight.

How long before we see Hacksaw?

Well, HHH did help get Batista over, and he did it in a huge way. Didn't he job to Batista about three different times in high profile matches. A WM match, as well as a Cell match, and maybe something else that I'm forgetting about. Then, since the HHH feud, what has the guy really done that was of note? -Batista/JBL was just shit, and I don't blame JBL for that either. JBL had solid brawls with a number of guys, but when he was put in there with Batista it was just horrible. One of the worst feuds, including the matches, this decade. -He had a program with Eddie that was just meh as well if you ask me. -Then we had the the Batista/Rey love affair, and the feud with Mark Henry. Not to mention that while all of that was going on, he was hurt anyway. -Then he was out until June or so, and since then he's been very blah. He had his thing with Henry, then Henry got hurt. The mini-feud with Ken Kennedy, and then the Booker T deal. Then in the middle of all of that he had the horrible showing in ECW with The Big Show. Since his feud with HHH, he hasn't done anything that says to me that he deserves to be where he is. Sure, a lot of it has to do with the booking/writing, but his matches have been horrible more often than not. Since his return from injury he seems to be trying to play it safe so that he doesn't get hurt again, but he's playing it saft to the extent where it's really seriously hurting the quality of his matches. Add in to all of that how he acted when the fans booed him and all of that, and there are plenty of reasons to have heat on the guy. Look at someone like John Cena. Sure, many fans still hate him and dislike him, but you can tell that Cena works hard in his matches, and he goes with the flow with the boos and uses his head. I'm not a huge fan of Cena, but still, he's a world different than Batista right now in many different ways.

Oh that news puts a big smile on my face. I just hope that they don't end up hurting Finlay, both in terms of his status as well as physically, in the process of trying to get Batista back to where he once was. Batista has taken the place of John Cena on my list of most hated workers right now. He's either right above or under Randy Orton now.

From PWInsider: -Sean Waltman is not in talks with WWE about coming in right now, even though he was at a recent show as an invited guest. He is signed to a Wrestling Society X contract, and that prevents him for coming back to WWE. However, the contract does not prevent him from working non-televised events. He can show up at house shows and dark matches, but if they want him to come back they'd have to strike a deal with WSX.

Oh my God, I've got it. The Skyscrapers will return (any combination of Sid Vicious, Dan Spivey, or Mean Mark Callous): And that will lead to Muhamad Hassan making his return also with Davari, and they'll bring them both to their knees, in a crushing defeat. If only Bossman hadn't died. We could have just had The Twin Towers show up:

From PWInsider: -There is a lot of heat on Justin Credible right now. Either this past week, or the week before, he simply did not show up for ECW TV, not even a phone call. You could compare this situation to the entire Axl Rotten deal from earlier this year. He sure as hell better have a good reason for doing this. He was in a fantastic position in ECW if you ask me, and in my opinion he was doing a pretty good job.

From PWInsider: -Two ECW workers have failed the wellness policy. The first guy is Ryan O'Reilly, who has been teaming with Derrick Neikirk on ECW house shows. This happened last week, and he immediately dropped the Deep South Title, and he'll be out for 30 days. Because of thise, Derrick Neikirk will still be working, but in singles. -The second guy to be busted is Balls Mahoney. They say that, just like Randy Orton, they will still use Balls on TV if they want, but just like Orton he will not be paid. They didn't say, but I'd guess that it is for typical 30 days also. -Tank Abbot has been signed to the Jakks Pacific WWE Classics Superstar line.

How is it legal to force someone to work without paying them? PWInsider brought up the point of what would happen if Orton got seriously injured while working but not being paid. Isn't all of this just setting the stage for something truly fucked up to happen?

The results of this poll are actually shocking to me: PlayStation 3 [ 18 ] [17.48%] Wii [ 64 ] [62.14%] Xbox 360 [ 21 ] [20.39%] Through all that I've seen about the Wii, I only just now looked up information about the size. Holy crap is this thing tiny or what? http://consoles.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/9864/ I'm sure everyone else in the world knows this, but there you go anyway. And these videos are decent for anyone who doesn't already know a lot about the Wii: http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=AdmiralPrice

The return of Muhammad Hassan - Live on RAW, 9/11!

I'll just say this. I sure was right about the DS, and I think I'm going to be right about the Wii also. It isn't going to happen right away, just as it didn't happen for the DS right away either. Hell, at launch Nintendo was still planning for a new Game Boy, but after the DS proved it's worth those plans were totally trashed. I'm going to get a Wii right away, just like I got a DS pretty soon after the release.

I think the Wii is going to be insanely successful. For those people who are only going to buy two of the three new systems, I could see the majority of people that buy a 360 pick up the cheaper Wii, and those that buy the PS3 will also pick up the cheaper Wii. Then on top of all of that, all of those casual gamers who don't want to spend too much, or the parents trying to save a few bucks but still make their children happy could go for the Wii since it's cheaper. And now, if it comes with two controllers and a game, that's even that much more inviting. Over time, it wouldn't shock me one bit to find out that there are more Wii systems in homes than 360 or PS3 systems.

Well, if this means that he jobs to Carlito a few times, I don't care if he remains on TV. Hell, I'd rather see him get jobbed out I think.

What is the quickest that a system has been released after announcing the release date?

BARK!!!

I've just about given up on Batista.

Ha, Finaly is so awesome. I really enjoyed the show tonight.

Wow, this Smackdown has been solid so far. That was great, seeing KK do that finisher.

Do any of you guys have a Xbox 360 Live trial code from a game or something that you don't have any need for? If so, I'd really appreciate someone letting me use it. Anyway, in Lego news: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=145768 And to give you an idea of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICOU-2EXhPw

"I don't want no part of your tired-ass country club, ya freak bitch!"

But what about the 4D gameplay? Make it 7D and we'll talk.

I have a 360, and I'll be picking up a Wii (hopefully on release day). Fuck the PS3, the high price, and all of the "omg it's a computer not a game system" nonsense.
