Downhome

I don't know if any of you care, but sportstalkNETWORK.com is doing an all day show, as well as a WM post-game show that you can either listen to or watch, and it's free. From PWInsider: http://sportstalknetwork.com/ Since the show is just a little over 28 hours away, and it is the biggest show of the year, I figured it would be fine to go ahead and start this thread. A few quick notes: -Sunday, April 2, 2006 7pmET * 4pmPT Chicago, Illinois -WrestleMania 22 Press Conference -There will be a WrestleMania post-game show on WWE.com And here is the final card, not counting whatever matche(s) they include on the pre-show:

There ya go. When Chavo first mentioned Eddie on RAW the fans booed, but then started cheering for him. I think the fans are sick of the use of Eddie's name, and can you blame them? Some of it has to do with Angle being so over, but that's not the only reason Rey is being booed.

That's true, and I don't have a problem with it at all, but it still doesn't change the fact that it looks very, very weird and cheesy.

How about Goldust for being in full paint?

Orton expects to get his way because his last name is Orton. You know, if you add this to the little episode they had with his dad late last year, the family isn't in WWE's good graces at all right now.

Oh I get how Orton would be pissed, but that still doesn't make him deserving, and I thought someone here was trying to say that. If anything WWE was smart by giving it to Angle instead of putting it on Orton just becuase no one else was left.

How exactly did Orton deserve the title? From what I've heard, the plan wasn't even to give it to him. The day Eddie died he was going to get the strap. With all of Angle's hard work, he was the most deserving guy in the company.

I say that WWE should start with making their on air product look "professional" before this stupid dress code.

I really like Kanyon as a worker, I always have and always will, but if he keeps acting like a twat then I'm going to start hoping more people "ban" his ass. He's coming across like "I'm gay, OMG, the world owes me so much, especially the wrestling business!!!"

That's true, but I think they wanted to have Rey pin Orton instead of Angle: 1) It just fit the storyline they built up. 2) Perhaps they did that to build up Angle/Mysterio more, and Angle could say that, once again, he lost a major title on WrestleMania without being pinned or giving up. Now if you mean that they should have made Orton work without getting the WM payment, then I'd have no problem with that at all.

There were a few tidbits in the recent PWInsider audio, but nothing all that much that we don't already know: -This has nothing to do with anything that happened at the WrestleMania after party. -It isn't really because of a single thing. Instead, it's been building for a very song time, and something that took place recently was enough to finally push them over the edge to do something about it. -They speculate that the reason he's still on TV is because they might be forcing him to still show up and perform on the TV shows, but they are not paying him for his appearances or for any of his merchandise sales. Other than the TV shows, they are keeping him off the road. That is how it used to be done when people would get in trouble back when they first had the drug testing.

I'd say it has more to do with the fact that he was booked for SD, had been promoted as such, and that this will be his last appearence for 60 days.

I wonder what this does to SD tonight, since he was supposed to be taking on Rey for the title.

Tyson walks out, and Harry Smith signs (PWInsider) and will debut in May or June. That said, I didn't actually think Tyson was horrible. I'm not going to miss him, since we almost never saw the guy, but I see him going to Japan or other groups and getting over huge, and we'll see him again in the next few years.

You just answered your own question. HHHHHHHHH has been in the main event the last 3 WM's. Just like the previous post aboot Undertaker, everyone else gets their main event time, then they go to mid-card for a while, but not HHHHH. We're tired of seeing of seeing him. People like you need to move on. To start with you bitched about him beating guys, then bitched about him winning the title, then bitched about him beating people at WM, and then when he goes three straight years jobbing to different people, helping them look golden just because of the fact that they are actually beating him, you then bitch about the fact that he's in the match to start with. People like you wont stop complaining about him ever. If he retired and went away forever for some reason there would still be people bitching about HHH. You say certain things would make you happy, but nothing ever will. I don't blame Vince for not listening to the net fans most of the time.

Chavo could have something up his sleeve, then once he follows through with it he can say "HE LIEEEEEEEEEED" about quitting.

LMAO - I love to see that guy rile you folks up. It's hilarious. I've reached that point also. If it was up to some of the net fans HHH would do the job in every single match, and never win or have the upper hand again.

I want to see a 3-way with those guys at an upcoming RAW or the next RAW PPV.

I marked for that ending - and so did most of the fans in that building.

I've never seen this buy before, but his facial expressions are fantastic.

Oh my God. Debuting with Ric Flair? (One more title Flair, wooooooooooo!)

This Week In Wrestling History I am all for them doing this every week from now on.
