YOU KNOW IT!

The lineage of Dynamite Kid style wrestlers is absurd.

Red wrestles for JAPW now. He cut off his hair and wears actual tights instead of the goofy trashbag pants. He doesn't look too bad in some of the clips I saw.

Burchill gets mad props for busting out the Capture suplex

I honestly thought Sabin was seriously injured after that Cracker Jack into the cage. How long have Abyss and Matt Morgan been feuding? I swear they had that blow off about 3 months ago.

What if Chris Benoit didn't, well, you know. I always wondered what would have happen with Punk and Morrison on ECW.

RESULTS: a) Alex "Sugarfoot" Payne & Andy "Right Leg" Ridge over Ninja Brown & "Dirty" Ernie Osiris b) Grizzly Redwood & Bushwhacker Luke over Don Juan & Andy Dalton 1) Erick Stevens over Rhett "Addicted to Love" Titus 2) Sweet & Sour Inc. of Chris Hero, Eddie Edwards & Incognito over Jay Briscoe, Kevin Steen & Magno when Hero pinned Magno; good match with a ton of dives. 3) Roderick Strong over Katsuhiko Nakajima in an amazing match 4) Kamala v. Bobby Dempsey - No match, as both men beat up Shane Hagadorn. 5) Four Corner Survival Match Claudio Castagnoli over ROH World Tag Team Champion El Generico, NWA World Champion Blue Demon Jr. and Brent Albright when he pinned Albright following a low blow. 6) "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson over Alex Koslov 7) D'Lo Brown over Colt "Boom Boom" Cabana 8) GHC Junior Heavyweight Title Match KENTA © over Davey Richards in a great match; MOTYC 9) Jimmy Jacobs & Austin Aries over Tyler Black & The Necro Butcher when Aries pinned Tyler 10) Ring of Honor World Title Match Jerry Lynn over Nigel McGuinness © to capture the ROH World Title after a Cradle Piledriver.

TONY GAREA?!

I think that the crowd being makes for a more intimate atmosphere. It's easier for the crowd to make connections with the wrestlers.

Batista kinda came as a package deal with Flair in Evolution because Flair was Batista's manager. I don't remember how Orton became a member. I think he was just there to be the "Tully" of the group because he's young and cocky or something.

Maybe he'll use Live from the 305.

Cody Rhodes bout to get FUCKED UP

The most humorous take on this is when Austin Aries challenged Ricky Reyes to a fight and pulled off his clothes revealing his tights and his....ELBOW PADS?!

I used Arn Anderson's "Adversity" quote in an Art Project in high school. When I had portfolio night, the token military guy loved the quote.

I was watching the replay of Impact this past Saturday and I was wondering why the Machine Guns were teaming with the Main Event Mafia. I remember Tenay saying that the Guns were in the Frontline.

-BJ Whitmer's powerbomb o doom on Jimmy Jacobs at the 1st Dragon Gate Challenge. They pretty much based the whole feud around that moment. -Tyler Black breaking the ring with Bryan Danielson's body during a Corner Powerbomb spot at New Horizons.

BATTLE BOWL. Am I really supposed to believe that Austin and Rude randomly got teamed up with each other?

I read once that there was an actual psychology behind the mist colors. Green was normal, red would somehow burn more and the RARE yellow actually caused temporary paralysis. Of course the red and yellow mists would damage the mister's throat so they could only be done in certain circumstances. And prolonged misting can't be that dangerous, how many times has Chono taken mist? He seems as bad ass as ever. Black mist will blind you. Just ask Nidia.

I liked the part in the No DQ match with Punk and Regal where the Ref tried to get Punk to break an arm submission and Punk responds by saying "IT'S NO DQ, I"M GONNA BREAK HIS ARM!" and the Ref just stood there looking baffled.

I was thinking about starting a topic like this for a while. I don't know if it should be one big thread or a thread for each week (the mods can pick). Obviously, the point of the topic is to get you all to discuss your favorite match of each week. My favorite match of the week was the tag match between Miz & Morrison vs The Colon Brothers on Friday Night Smackdown. It was an awesome fast paced match, some kewl movez~! (bulldog into the corner), and a good finish that didn't make the Colon Brothers look bad, but, made Miz and Morrison look like smart and opportunistic heels.

I like that commercial a lot. It's got a real old school vibe to it. Is that supposed to be HBK from around 92?

RESULTS Pre-Show a. Alex Payne & Red Ninja d. Ernie Osiris & "Beautiful" Bobby Shields - Seagull got there after the pre-show, so he got this result from someone near by, hence the "someone else". b. Andy "Right Leg" Ridge vs. Brandon Day - Unsure of winner c. Bobby Dempsey vs. Orange Cassidy - Unsure of winner, though one would think Dempsey. MAIN SHOW 1. Brent Albright d. Rhett Titus - Albright wins with the half nelson suples 2. Delirious d. The Necro Butcher, Damien Wayne, & Sean Denny in a Four Corner Survival - Delirious wins with the Shadows over Hell on Sean Denny Kyle Durden is now in the ring to interview Austin Aries. Aries says the fans owe him an apology for turning their backs on him. He had hoped he'd have some closure after making Jacobs say I Quit, but that didn't come. Says that the crowd always cheered no matter who was being hit with chairs. Says that Tyler Black is nothing more than the flavor of the month, and that the fans will turn on Black just like they turned on him. He says he's done wrestling for us, for the company, for DVD sales, for snowflakes. He's now only wrestling for himself. He says he is NOT going to cash in his title shot at a "B Show" like tonight. He then knocks out Kyle Durden. Tyler Black comes out and says if Aries doesn't want the title shot, he'll take it. Black tries to attack Aries, but Jacobs jumps Black from behind. Jay Briscoe comes out to make the save...and challenges Aries and Jacobs to a three way match, which is on now. Aries and Jacobs seem to be working together... 3. Jay Briscoe d. Austin Aries & Jimmy Jacobs in a 3 Way Match - Jay wins with a roll up on Jacobs after he makes Jacobs accidently hit Aries with the spear. Jacobs and Aries never really came to blows during the match, but were not "together" either. They pushed each other back and forth, but Seagull described it as similar to the Dudley's pushing each other, psyching each other up. After the match, Jacobs spits his gum at Aries, who picks it up off the ground and chews it. Nigel McGuinness vs. Tyler Black for the ROH World Title is official for tonight. Nana comes out and takes his belt off, offering to be a lumberjack! He's escorted out, the Lumberjack Strap Match is up next! 4. Davey Richards & Eddie Edwards d. Roderick Strong & Erik Stevens in a Lumberjack Strap Match - Edwards hit Stevens with a chair behind the refs back. Lumberjacks went after everyone, no heel or face distinguished in that. -INTERMISSION- Ernie Osiris is out walking through the crowd, asking for money, during intermission. Crowd is estimated in the 600 range. He said it isn't as packed as last time in Edison. 5. Grizzly Redwood vs. Chris Escobar went to a No Contest - Bison Smith came in and destroyed them both. 6. Jerry Lynn d. Bryan Danielson - Lynn wins cleanly with the Cradle Piledriver! After the match Danielson teases not shaking hands, but eventually does. During the match, Nigel tried to walk out of the match, Danielson came out and stopped him and said he'd kill him where they stood...match continues! Later on...(from another source) Jacobs attacked Tyler, Lynn came out and attacked Nigel, then Aries, Strong, Stevens, Albright, American Wolves, and Jay Briscoe were all out brawling. Danielson came out and ordered everyone to the back saying that the match was undecided, and for the World Title. Jacobs atacked Danielson, and the big brawl started again. Jay and Albright both did ???? off the top rope. Danielson did a dive into the crowd and the brawl moved into the crowd. Everyone brawled to the back. Sinclair and Cary conferred...and the match MUST CONTINUE! After all that... 7. Nigel McGuinness and Tyler Black go to a time limit draw! - Tyler hit the superkick while Nigel was on his knee just like last night, and as he was crawling over for the pin, the bell rang for the time limit. Seagull timed it and said it was only about 45 minutes...so could be a 45 minute time limit. Tyler asked for five more minutes, Nigel said no way, and headed to the back, ending the show! All the folks on the ROH message board all got pretty pissed that Black/Nigel was not a 60 minute draw, however, I'm assuming that it was supposed to be a 45 minute time limit due to the shows being shorter. I guess they're also building up the Superkick as Tyler's new INSTADEATH move.

I also don't understand how that's illegal either. Matt Striker was saying anything apart of your gear can be used in a match, which is why Paul Burchill's kneebrace knee drops were legal.
