Styles

I just want to say I've rewatched the 3 way, and I'm upping it to ****1/2. It's a really excellent match, that suffered a little on first viewing not only from WM comparisons, but also general fatigue and following the Foley/Orton showstealer. It's just really good, only part I didn't like was the slow 3 or 4 minute segment where Shawn is laid out on the table and HHH applies the camel clutch. Still, the Wrestlemania match was ***** and was absolutely perfect. Anyway Backlash 3 way is defintely on my top 5 list for the year, still behind the WM 3 way, Eddy/Brock and MAYBE the Rumble. I'm gonna watch Foley/Orton again so I can more objectively rate it.

THE STEEL CAGE RETURNS! NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Chris Harris The Road To The Cage has ended, and this Wednesday night "Wildcat" Chris Harris gets his long-awaited rematch against champion Jeff Jarrett inside the confines of a steel cage! Can Harris realize his lifelong dream of becoming NWA World Heavyweight Champion? Harris has already tasted gold inside the cage when America's Most Wanted reclaimed the NWA Tag Team Title against Triple X in one of the most celebrated matches in TNA history - can he do it again? Or, will the veteran Jarrett find a way to walk out of the steel enclosure with the title still around his waist? Tune in this Wednesday night to find out! RAVEN AND SABU vs. ABYSS AND THE ALPHA MALE The recent brawls between Sabu and Alpha Male Monty Brown have some of the most aggressive and brutal in TNA's recent history. After Abyss' interference in the match this past week, TNA officials have signed Raven and Sabu to face Abyss and The Alpha Male this Wednesday night in what is sure to be off the chart! We know Raven and Sabu can co-exist as a team, but can the monster Abyss and the former New England Patriot get on the same page? Tune in this Wednesday to watch! FOR A SPOT ON TEAM NWA THE FALLEN ANGEL vs. MICHAEL SHANE Up for grabs in the match between Michael Shane and Christopher Daniels this Wednesday night will be a spot on Team NWA alongside Jerry Lynn, Chris Sabin and Primetime! With the "Original Playa From The Himalaya" Sonjay Dutt departing the team to concentrate on beating Frankie "The Future" Kazarian for the X Championship, NWA officials have signed a match between the high-flyers this Wednesday night on Pay-Per-View to determine who makes the team as we head to the next X Cup event in May! NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE REMATCH Champions D'Lo Brown and Apollo vs. Kid Kash and Dallas The newly formed team of D'Lo Brown and Puerto Rican sensation Apollo pulled off a huge shocker this last Wednesday as they beat Kid Kash and Dallas by disqualification to become the new NWA World Tag Team Champions! TNA's rulebook says a title must change hands on DQ, and apparently the monster newcomer Dallas hadn't been studying up! Proud to be new champions but not wanting to win the gold that way, Brown and Apollo will put the titles up in a championship rematch against Kash and Dallas this Wednesday night! SIMON DIAMOND AND SONNY SIAKI vs. GLENN GILBERTI AND JOHNNY SWINGER w/ Trinity The New York Connection of Glenn Gilberti and Johnny Swinger - along with Trinity - showed their true hatred for Simon Diamond and Sonny Siaki this past Wednesday when they brutally put the beatdown on them. Adding insult to injury, Swinger also shredded Diamond's ring robe to pieces. This Wednesday night, Diamond and Siaki get the chance to dish out the pain against Gilberti and Swinger. What all started when Swinger turned his back on Diamond finally boils over in rage this Wednesday night! ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE ON APRIL 21 - INCLUDING AJ STYLES, 3LIVE KRU, THE NEW FRANCHISE, DIRECTOR OF AUTHORITY VINCE RUSSO AND MANY MORE! CHECK BACK FOR NEW MATCHES ADDED!

Gah, forgot about that. I still haven't gotten my latest Frequent Buyer's club gift (I want my signed Jeff Jarrett "Genesis" video!), but I might have to try that when Im at home if I can find the receipt...

LOOK! UP IN THE SKY! IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S...IT'S...

Here's a question to ponder. Javy Lopez hit 42 home runs last year, out of NOWHERE. He's continued hitting this year. He's an aging catcher. Why hasn't anyone levied the dreaded steroid acquisation? If anyone is on roids in MLB, based on stats alone, its this guy. First of all, he hit 43 homeruns, get it right, son! Second, you wouldn't be the first to throw the accusation his way. He's always had good offensive numbers. He was injured for most of the 2 years prior and came back and had an abysmal season in 2002. He then went on a strick diet and changed his workout regiment and got into the best shape of his life which led to his best offensive season ever and is continuing it this year. Anyway here's an article from last year:

Very enjoyable show overall. I'm too tired to type out full opinions but I enjoyed the main event, just not as much as WM, the hardcore match was great while Kane/Edge, Vitoria/Lita and HurriRosie/La Resistance were boring spots. So here are my quick ratings... Flair/Benjamin **1/2 Coach/Tajiri ** Chris Jericho/Christian-Trish *** Lita/Victoria 1/2* Foley/Orton **** La Resistance/HuriRosie * Edge/Kane 1/2* Benoit/HHH/HBK RATING EDITED: ****1/2, updated thoughts later in the thread...

Well, my guessing the opening match streak ends at 1. I knew they weren't opening with the Jericho match anyway as soon as I saw they had a video for it...

I've disliked Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz ever since the 96 World Series where it was confimed that they plate Umpires were biased in their favor. You won the World Series and you're still complaining?!

Uggg.... I wanted Conway vs. Eugene, I didn't want this... o well

This is a very simple concept to learn. Anglesault likes: Current Yankees that are playing well. Anglesault doesn't like: Current Yankees that are not plaing well and players that are not Yankees. Anglesault hates: Former Yankees playing well.

I thought the new WWExperience show was taking the 10AM slot and Heat was staying at night? That's the latest I heard too. The Expirience recap show on Sunday morning and Velocity moves up to 7pm. Heat stays put...

You might want to save it for Judgement Day, a show that needs it!

It's official, bow to the kings bi-atches!

Do you realize what being humorously irreverent on a message board is?

UPDATE: 7-0, as Javy Lopez drives in another, has an 11 game hitting streak and is on pace for the best offensive season in MLB history!

If he is, I anticipate that Mattitude Fact...

This is also the best O's team since 98!

Just a friendly reminder that the O's are entering the 9th inning leading the Jays 6-0, just 3 outs away of moving 1/2 game above Boston for sole possesion of the AL East. That is all.

This may be the only place on the internet where you can see the name of a woman and the word "blow" in the same sentence without it having any sexual connotation whatsoever. We're an enlightened bunch. Personally, I'm more offended at the connotation that Lita blows dogs.

Yeah, I don't think you're supposed to like reveal your sources in a public venue like this. If someone doubts you, you could at least PM them the name and tell them to keep it hush, or else you might not get any more info... BTW, can I call Ray Rougeau to confirm your cousin story?

He has another book out?

Yep. And since there needs to be a break between the two main matches... I figured Tai-gee-ri Vs Coach would get that slot since after a likely sick brawl from the IC title match, they would bring out the comedy match...then again we can just laugh at Lita's attempt to wrestle. Exactly they don't want to bore the crowd before the main, just lighten the mood.

I too smell a Eugene/Rob Conway match but if the card stays at 7 I predicted this order: Jericho vs. Christian/Trish Lita vs. Victoria Ric Flair vs. Shelton Benjamin Kane vs. Edge Cactus vs. Orton Tajiri vs. Coach Benoit vs. HBK vs. HHH I was like the only one to predict Show/Cena opening WM so I'm 1 for 1! Anyway this should be a good show. I'd reccomend anyone who has a high speed connection and doesn't want to spend more than a few bucks to PM Downhome. The more people that pool, the cheaper it is for everyone...
