The Ghost of bps21

I wonder if all the shows are just about the same quality...just that one week our expectations are so low...and the next so high.

I didn't see any problem with either the Mad Mikey match or the Lynn match (especially fall 2...you know...after the odd 30 second fall). As for Red...the dude is hurt beyond belief right now.

I don't know...since Dusty and Gilberti will work the minority (by far Gilberti's back is fucked and Dusty never works long) of that match...I kind of want to see all 4 of the top matches. No interest in 3 live crew...but I bet they get a nice reaction anyway.

He's not the first person to think that they could turn Johnson into a QB. Even after absolutely blowing in Buffalo, Gruden thought he could do it too.

Thanks for giving me the dates of all those not better than average matches. I'll be sure to locate my nearest tape trader so I can bask in there averageness.

I wish I could. Tell Dream Stage to give me the damn DVDS!!!!!

I'd think Liddell is the weakest of the other 3... but do they really want Yoshida to lose to a UFC fighter?

Those HHH matches (ESPECIALLY MANIA) were boring. The rest were all tag wins for Booker leading up to the boring loss.

CanadianChick- Booker has had numerous good matches with Jeff Jarrett, Steve Austin, Lance Storm, The Rock, Chris Jericho, RVD and I enjoyed his series with Triple H. He also had some good stuff with Steiner. Ok...come on. He never had a good match with RVD that I can remember...and I like to write good RVD matches down as proof that he had them. The ONLY Austin match that I remember was a terrible first blood match with Boss Man interfering. Lance Storm has only had two good matches in WWE and they were with Edge at SS 01 and the RAW match where RVD remembered how to sell for once. I don't remember a Booker/Jericho 1-1 match ever having enough time to be anything but meh. Jarrett and Steiner were in WCW where no one saw them...though I don't deny those could have been good.

Can you pick something that anyone might remember? Saying a TV match from 2 years ago was good is a bit of a stretch. Like...I saw Christian have a great match with Al Snow in late 99 on RAW!!!!!!

I can't think of one good Booker T match that Benoit wasn't in.

Based on what?

I know...I think Book and Christian are about equal in terms of wrestling ability. They both have boring matches with everyone.

1. But Tamura didn't really knock him down. Yoshida fell after his knee made contact. 2. Bad Blood would be the next DVD to be released...and there's STILL no announcement.

Possibly...but today was the first time I ever saw him since Pride DVD releases are so far behind.

A great night for me as an MMA fan... Not a great night for me as a fan of my two favorite fighters... 1. Sakuraba is legend no longer 2. Vovchanchyn ate a foot. My two favorite fighters with two devastating KO losses. I guess I need to find a fighter to cheer for from the newer generation, eh?

If the fight were to happen right away...I'd give it to Cro Cop. He just seems to be hitting the exact level he needs to be at at exactly the right time.

Only Shawn Micheals gets out of jobbing titles due to injuries.

Yeah...but you broke the story first. I hope Book gets better...but I guess we won't see him for a while. Nice to see him drop the title like a man...the way it should be done.

They couldn't have asked for a better build up for Fedor/Cro Cop tonight. Both guys crushed there opponents.

It was pretty damn epic the way Saku was just plain out cold if you ask me. First fight: Saku lost similarly...but was still alert and ok. Second fight: Injury...and he fought a better fight. Third Fight: Out. Cold.

From Da Meltz: [email protected] Christian won the IC title tonight in Des Moines. The finish was Booker T going for the ax kick, screaming and dropping down, heavily selling his lower back (which has been bothering him for years, and greatly over the past ten days). Christian gave him an unprettier and pinned him. Booker was helped to the back by a couple of referees and the trainer.

Cro Cop had the better KO... BUT I'm taking Silva on Saku... Any shred of the Sakuraba legend was taken away forever tonight. SUre the previously losses (to Silva and others) dented it...but as soon as the chance to beat Silva arose...there was that last little bit to be crushed. and Silva did it.

... A: If true I like the idea of changing a title on a house show. B: If true...they should have done it with the tag titles. C. If true.

I was going to say that too. It can be a disadvantage just as easily. I don't think that knee thing was a work at all. I swear I saw discoloration when they pulled his pant leg up...and why would he fall down in the middle of the fight after an offensive kick?
