King Cucaracha

And again Why wasn't this an issue in February? Rhyno's anger was building up, he tried to hold it down and form a good team for his own gain, but it was no good. Eventually after all their confrontations and stuff, he acted like buddies with Benoit and he was waiting for the right time to really screw over Benoit...like the US Title Tournament match. See he was plotting Benoit downfall in advance...so therefore he's EVIL~!

Cause I actually like that song...

You say that like it's a good thing... Yeah but Gowan jobs, so you should all be very happy. Seriously, we get Eddie-Tajiri...Benoit wins, and is put in a meaningful feud for once...Rey-Benjamin...Gowan jobs to Shannon Moore...Angle wins again...we have two matches announced in advance for next week so they obviously are planning ahead...we get Gowan dropped down the card like you wanted AS(although you'll probably reply with some bull about he shouldn't even be a wrestler because he's only got one leg etc)... And on the bad side? Some skits with Noble/Torrie/Nidia/Gunn. And people are still complaining. Explain to me how Benoit vs Rhyno is meaningful. It's fucking retarded. They tease the turn, ditch it, have them play nice and THEN turn Rhyno? Yeah, that's the way to do it. Well it's better than Rhyno hates Benoit...Rhyno accidently hits Benoit...Benoit's mad face...Rhyno accidently costs Benoit...Benoit's mad face...when will this ever end...Rhyno turns heel, well WHAT A SURPRISE!!! Seriously, if everything isn't served on a silver platter perfectly for Mr 'smark darling' Benoit it MUST be wrong!!! I'm a Benoit fan and all, but the over love is as sickening as Cole's overhype of Gowen around here sometimes.

Pretty positive compared to usually... Pity he didn't rate the barroom brawl though. I wanted to hear his views on O'Haire's Bruce Lee impression. And Spanky's dancing...Funaki's drinking...Easter Bunny's bump through the glass. Hell, I enjoyed the brawl. Then again, the barroom brawl is just the sort of throwaway sports entertainment crap I enjoy. Just a pity they didn't throw Tazz in there and have him go crazy on everyone.

EDIT: OMG HEELISH DISCIPLE OF TODD~! edition Preliminary Question: How did you find us/hear about us? Saw you on the board and from people's sigs on the board. Smarks Board Name: King Cucaracha Wrestlers Name: Landon Maddix Nickname(s): 'La Cucaracha' (goes in between names, e.g Randy 'Macho Man' Savage), 'The Disciple Of Todd' Height: 5'10" Weight: 206lbs Hometown: Huron, South Dakota Age: 19 (Birthdate=15/03/84) Face/Heel: Loveable Face, with a hidden agressive streak. Stable: None Ring Escort: Megan Skye Weapon(s): Can you say 'Landon...get the tables!!!' A table spot specialist when he can use them within the rules. Also, may be prone to heelish turns now and again, if Todd so wishes. Quote: "And so, Todd said un-to Landon...man, you are awesome!" "Go ahead and hit me...you can't hurt me." Plus, any of Todd's quotes may be used in certain ass kissing situations. Looks: White, with medium length blonde hair. Wears a black and red headband which can double up as a choking weapon in desperate cases. Clean shaven and youthful looking. Usually ring attire consists of old John Cena style leather shorts, red with black trim. Black kneepads and red padded X-Pac style boots, with black trim and black 'LM's' near the ankle. Black elbowpads and red wristbands. Will now wear latest Todd Royal t-shirt to the ring, or possibly a customised vest like Todd, with a Todd-loving/Megan loving slogan on the back. Ring Entrance: "An' I'm sailin'...yeah!" "Suck My Kiss" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers starts up, causing the arena to suddenly be filled with rapturous boos! As the song moves into the lyrics, Landon Maddix steps out from behind the curtain to even more heat from the crowd, Landon not bothered by it stands at the top of stage...the lights dim momentarily, as a Todd-like white light falling upon him, as the smiling Maddix raises his arms out in the air. ***FUNYON'S INTRO*** The lights quickly return to normal as Maddix slowly walks to the ring. Leaping to the apron, Maddix raises his arms and sings along with the part of the song... "Hit me you can't hurt me... SUCK MY KISS!" Before 'rolling' into the ring (Crash Holly style entering), and leaping to the middle rope, raising his arms for the crowd again, and getting booed again. He then jumps down and starts to get prepared, limpering up in one corner. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 2 Speed: 6 Vitality: 5 Charisma: 7 Style: A cross between Brian Kendrick, and a pre World Title winning face Shawn Michaels. Kind of like what Kendrick should be like in a couple of years. Likes to take a risk, and use his agility to out-wit much taller/bigger/stronger opponents. May cheat, may not...depends on instructions from Todd. Signature moves: The Whiparound- Places the opponent across the middle rope so half his body is hanging over the apron, by whatever means, and then runs towards him. He then uses the ropes to swing around in a 619 move, but instead of hitting the 619, he uses his legs to headscissors the opponent to the outside. Quebrada- Slingshot Moonsault Splash Plancha- Crossbody to the outside from the ring The Nose Job- Wrap-around DDT. The Rock used to use it. Begins like a crucifix, but spins round and hits a DDT. Splash Mountain Bomb- Catches opponent facing towards the crowd on the middle rope, and brings them straight down with a sit out crucifix powerbomb. CockroachDive Headbutt- Diving headbutt. Shining Wizard- Jumping kick to the back of the head. Usually with opponent on knees, but Maddix has perfected this move and it can be hit from almost ANY position...be creative. Flying Tomahawk Chop- Open handed vertical chop driven to top of head of opponent from the top rope. Suck My Kiss- Diving Headbutt...only, to the standing opponent. More of a 'Glasgow Kiss' than a French kiss...it packs a punch. Up and Under- A salute to Johnny 'English Hero' Wilkinson...a full rugby style kick, usually connecting somehwere around the gut area. Variations of connections are possible...obviously, it's likely to hit low in some circumstances. If you've seen Wilkinson in his preperation before kicking, then you can make Landon replicate that. Common moves: Superkick Hurricanrana Standing Spinkick Swinging Neckbreaker Flying Headscissors Dragon Sleeper with leg scissors Victory Roll Diving Reverse DDT Rolling Koppu Kick Running Senton Bomb Head and Arm Overhead Suplex Slingshot Suplex Swinging Bulldog Flying Forearm Oklahoma Roll European Uppercut German Suplex Rare moves: The YMCA Elbow- The famed YMCA Elbow is like the People's Elbow. But before hitting the elbow, Maddix does the YMCA Dance. Only used when he is in control, usually towards the end of the match. A 'showy' type move. He will still use this, despite heelishness. It's NOT a MAD MAD MADdix- Formerly the Corkscrew Plancha. That was too crowd friendly, so it has been replaced. The opponent is in plancha position, but instead of launching over the ropes...Maddix slides out of the ring, and spears the opponent back into the guardrail, pissing off the crowd in the process. Cu Cu Ca Chu- With both men on the top or middle ropes, Maddix grabs the head for a jawbreaker and leaps off with a super jawbreaker. Usually a counter for other top rope moves like super hurricanranas and such. Fisherman's Buster- Fisherman's suplex into a brain buster. Only used on smaller wrestlers or with extra leverage. The Wrath of Todd- The ultimate ass kissing move. The figure four leglock, which is perfected of course by Todd Royal. Hardcore Moves: Seering Wizard- Shining Wizard, only with opponent holding a weapon in front of his face, just adding to the move. Bad Ride, Worse Landing- With a table propped up against the ring apron, Maddix whips the opponent to the ropes, and backbody drops them over the top rope and through the propped table, most probably causing them to hit the apron head first as well. Death From Above- Senton Bomb(Dick Togo style, not Jeff Hardy) through a table...usually from top rope to outside, although in REALLY extreme cases it can be from ladders, high ledges or even balconies. Trash Compacter- Maddix places a trash can over the opponent's head, and forces them to the mat somehow(be creative)...he then climbs to the top rope backwards, and moonsaults onto the trash can, crushing the opponent's head. See Matt and Jeff Hardy's Hardcore Title Match on Smackdown in mid-2000 if possible. Finishers: Crash Landon- With Landon on the middle rope, and the opponent stood in front of him on the mat, a Tornado Downward Spiral. Fah-Laming Fury Moonsault- Slingshots up to the top rope from the apron, into a Double Springboard Moonsault. Notes: As above, likes to take a risk, and use his agility to out-wit much taller/bigger/stronger opponents. Will use table spots frequently when the rules allow it. Now under Todd's wing, he will be more prone to cheating now...but still rely on his speed and agility over cheating. A cocky kid, sometimes overbearing. May still get face pops for some things he does, ala RVD in the InVasion. Sometimes use his speed and agility to frustate larger (hoss like) opposition in a playful, humiliating way. Vast movelist. Bio: The skinny kid from Huron, he was just another kid until he got into watching wrestling to try and be more popular with a group of kids in high school. Eventually he actually grew to like wrestling, and grew up idolising Shawn Michaels. The more he watched, the more he appreciated the wrestling he saw and eventually decided to try and get into the business himself. After a couple of years of hard training, Maddix finally got into the big time with the SJL. His first few months were a very successful few. After his first two wins, Maddix found himself up against TV Champion Todd Royal, in an 'interesting' match. With a Bible on a pole, Maddix faced Todd...and in only his third competitive match took the Bible, and the T.V Title. From there Landon only got stronger, compiling a winning run that left him 8 and 0. However, Todd was still a pain in his side. His first loss to Brian Bowers sent Landon into a brief downward spiral, losing his next two matches as well...one of those against rival Todd Royal in a Ladders and Submissions Match. Now even, the two rivals met in a six man tag team amtch, with a disallusioned Maddix tapping out to Korgath in what was seen as a quick move...it looked like Maddix was literally giving up on his career. In his next match, Landon fought back and won contendership to Todd's European Title...but by the time his shot had rolled around, Todd was in contention for the World Title. What resulted was a 'changing of the guard' situation, where in a two fall triple threat match, Maddix beat Todd for his European Title...but Todd then hit back, pinning Maddix to claim Insane Luchador's World Title. Landon 2, Todd 2. Not one to be detered, Maddix took the European Title under his wing with gusto, his European roots causing a change of character...suddenly, Landon had embraced the European culture. It helped him defeat Manson twice, and win the infamous 'Pie Match'...and got him a World Title shot. But, the fairy tale ended there. Maddix got DESTROYED by Aecas in the World Title match, and subsequently lost the European Title to Alan Clark the next show. Since then, Maddix went through a self pitying stage...mainly due to the harsh words of Todd Royal. Still Maddix rolled on regardless, beating Aecas amongst others. Then, after a triple threat victory earlier in the night, Landon Maddix turned up after Alan Clark and Todd Royal's main event. Clark had won the match, but was suddenly blindsighted by Maddix in a shocking attack, Clark's knee damaged in the process. Todd's words obviously struck home with Maddix, to the point that he alligned himself with his long time rival.

Hometown: Pawtucket, RI Age: 24 Face/Heel: Heel Bio: Megan Skye is possibly the only person other than Todd and now Landon who believes Royal's hype. Dubbed the one and only "Toddess", Skye has served as Todd's valet for a long while. Now Landon and Todd are together, her duties have extended to the Disciple. Skye will do anything and everything to help her man/men win. She won't think twice about interjecting herself with a well placed low-blow, or even a Tornado DDT- The Skye Lyte- if Maddix finds himself in a desperate fix.

Cheers, that's what I thought

Cool...number one contenders match already. But I got a question...call me an idiot, but is the word limit minimum or maximum words. Last match was on the limit, so I didn't bother asking, but I don't want to lose a match on a technicallity.

I'm too lazy to go through myself, so I'm just gonna agree with RRR... 1) You know, I suck at jokes, but there's one just waiting to be told there. And I agree because I don't see a real reason for everyone's problem with Big Show. 2)Yep...they'll suck but not as much as we'll expect, which will slow down our McMahon bitching for all of five minutes. 3)I'm just waiting to see what reasons people will come up with to explain this match not reaching *****, without blaming EDDIE~! and BENOIT~! My bet...it's Triple H's fault. 4)Rey and Kidman are one of my favourite teams ever. And has no-on noticed they're not building the match the 'traditional way' of them hating each other ever so suddenly, like they're doing with Legend and Jarrett in TNA. Rey and Kidman want titles, they win matches to prove they are worthy of titles, they get title match against champs. Old school booking. 5)Taker's focus may be a little off, considering his father's passing away. But he'll be out to put on a good show, like he has been on PPV all year seemingly. 6)They've had this match twice on free TV, twice it wasn't great. They should have put a stip on it at the very least. 7)Meh, it mat be crap, but it's comedy sports entertainment filler crap. It'kll probably be like a cross between the Gimmick Battle Royal and the Hardcore Battle Royal from the Manias. It'll be in a barroom hopefully, otherwise it makes no sense. And after what you said, I am so hoping agent Malenko shows up and wins. But anyway...meh. Beats a burping contest. Lol, it had to happen. Choken, you called it. SOMEONE had to bitch.

Wait a minute. Randy Orton cost Michaels the match on Raw? How? Orton hit an RKO on the chair, hurting the FACE. Michaels KICKED OUT. Jericho put on the Walls of Jericho, which hurts the BACK, and Michaels submitted about a minute or so afterwards. Yeah, damn that Randy Orton for costing Michaels the match. Seriously, if the 'typical' smarks got their way the roster would be about 3/4 the size it is now. And then, we'd all get over-critical of the guys left and they'd all be screwed. Just because Randy Orton isn't the best wrestler in the world and he's getting pushed...we should hate him? Looking past the over the top hatred...(Rico is NOT 8000 times more over than Orton, because Orton isn's given boring chants)... Orton is a perfectly fine midcarder. God forbid they push him. God forbid they try to make new stars. So they give you what you want. They push RVD and Benoit and Eddie and all your favs. After they retire, what happens. The new talent hasn't had a chance to develop, so no new stars come in, and we go back to the slump again. In an ideal world, they push both types of wrestlers. WWE isn't ideal. Bo ho. The fact is, the same thing happened with Lesnar. The guy the majority of people hated to start with, and now like. Anyone getting the big push over Benoit or Booker is going to get crucified around here. It's not just about Orton, it's about the fact your favs aren't being pushed. And Orton gets the blame, because he's only been in the business about a year, and by god he's not in ***** matches a few months into his debut.

Just like everyone, my condolences to Mark and Sara, and to the family. Puts things in perspective huh... And althoguh it doesn't seem the thing to talk about, I'm sure Taker'll show up for Vengeance.

Ok, I couldn't read through the 10 pages of nothingness from the other thread looking for spoilers, so I decided to post them here. Oh, and AS...I have a feeling you'll be pissed off, so read with caution... Dark Matches 1) Solo d. Tony Kozina. Crowd was into it only because it was the first match. The crowd before this had popped huge to the sound check guy, and the lights being dimmed. Solo won with a slightly messed up move similar to the move Rey Mysterio does coming off the top rope and sitting down on the opponent. 2) Ultimo Dragon d. Shawn Evans. Dragon's flames were HOT!!! And it was awesome to see such a great international star, but the match was short. Lots of kicks from Dragon. Evans got in some offense, but Dragon won with the reverse sommersault into a ddt. 3) Kanyon d. Keji Sakoda (spelling) Sakoda was announced as being from Fresno, but he was also announced as being from Bakersfield back in February, so I guess he's the "hometown" representative for Smackdown. Kanyon won with a version of the downward spiral, where he jumped and brought his opponent down. note: this match may air on velocity, since the velocity video was on during it, but I'm not sure. Velocity Taping No velocity pyro for this one. I think it had to do with the low ceiling at Sellend Arena, because the Fire Marshall was out in full force around the pyro guys all night. They introduced Josh Mathews and The Cat. The Cat tried to get Mathews to dance, but it didn't work, so he danced instead. 1) Orlando Jordan d. Nunzio. Didn't really pay much attention to this match for some reason. Jordan looks a lot like Billy Blanks, you know, the Tae Bo guy. 2) Basham Brothers d. Spanky and Funaki. Awesom match!! Spanky is amazing to see live, and the Basham Bros. have some nice double team moves. One such move was Danny slingshoting Spanky and Doug coming off the top to bulldog him on the way down. Spanky hit several dropkicks, and side kicks. He took a nasty fall down onto the steps at the end. And that allowed the Bashams to hit a combonation Clothesline into a Russian Leg Sweep for the win on Funaki. Smackdown Video played of the past two weeks with 3-on-1 handicap matches. Tazz and Michael Cole snuck out to the ring while the video was playing. Pyro went off, and Smackdown is under way with....... Stephanie comes to the ring saying Vince is taking care of Linda, and she's going to be taking Smackdown back tonight. She announces no more handicap matches, and that it will be the Big Show and Benjamin and Haas versus Lesnar, Angle, and Zach Gowan. John Cena comes out and talks about how he had a dream about Stephanie last night. He raps about being excited by her, but in a clumsy way like he's trying to be smooth. He offers Steph $20 to rip Sable's top off. Then he says he wants to smack her ass. So Steph lets him. This brings Sable up on the video screen saying how she always knew Steph liked being slapped around. She shows the footage of her beating down Steph last week. Says something about how wonderful she is, then gets mad at Steph for not agreeing (I heard Steph say nothing about disagreeing, so they might dub something in) Steph says she's gonna get Sable, and Sable invites her to the back. Match 1) Rey Mysterio and Kidman d. Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore. Rey was pretty over here in Fresno. His entrance looks even cooler from eye level. Rey hit a nice face buster, that started out with him in a victory roll position on Shannon. Hardy and Moore worked over Kidman, until the hot tag came to Rey. Rey cleaned house, then tageed back in Kidman. Rey hit Shannon with the 6-1-9, then proceeded to hit Matt Hardy with a split legged moonsault from the top rope onto the floor. In the ring, Kidman hit the shooting star for the pin. The screen cuts to Steph running around the back looking for Sable. She goes to jump a blonde in the make-up area, but its Torrie. She proceeds to find Sable and begin beating her against a limo. She throws Sable onto the trunk, then pulls off her top. Sable's breasts were exposed, and shown fully for a quick second before she jumped into the car. Steph was about to bust the window with a pipe, when Vince appeared. He said he answers to neither Stephanie nor Linda, and if Stephanie wasn't careful she'd end up laid up like Linda. They replay last week's $25,000 offer by Jaime Noble to Torrie. Which leads into...... Match 2) Billy Gunn d. Jaime Noble. A quick match the Gunn won by swinging Noble from a scoop slam position into a version of the urange. After the match, Torrie said she'd sleep with Noble next week on Smackdown if he beat Billy Gunn at Vengeance. Noble excepted. Then Billy tried to show his ass, but the referee wouldn't let him. He kept motioning to Billy to keep his pants pulled up. Finally Billy mooned the crowd, which was followed more pleasantly by Torrie mooning the crowd. APA was shown in the back. Steve Lombardi showed up asking to be in the Barroom Brawl on sunday. Bradshaw told him to prove himself, then he'd be invited. Oh yeah, and they said during the segment that Brother Love, and Doink the Clown would be in it too. Nice how they bring in Doink for a PPV, but Matt Hardy, Ultimo Dragon, and Spanky are left without good matches. The new Mayor of Fresno Eddie Guerrero came out in a low rider chevy. The crowd loved Eddie, and thats an understatement. The crowd was chanting "Eddie, Eddie" 10 minutes before his segment, when they were positioning his car backstage. Eddie cut a promo about Chris Benoit and him coming up together. From Japan, to ECW, to WCW, and finally the WWE. Eddied called Benoit his best friend, which brought Chris out to the ring. Benoit talked about Eddie having many best friends lately, and it being months since they talked. Eddie said he was lying, and he hated Benoit. They jaw-jacked a little more, and Eddie was about to leave, and Benoit challenged him to a match. He called him Homes, and Essa, which drew loud boos, and lead into more "Eddie, Eddie" chants. Guererro said he'd wait til sunday, but then jumped back into the ring to attack Benoit. Benoit threw him around, then out to the floor, where Eddie sprayed him in the eyes with something. This brought out Rhyno to the rescue, and lead to..... Match 3) Eddie Guerrero d. Rhyno. A slow paced match at first, but it soon picked up. Eddie hit a beautiful top rope hurricanrana. Rhyno went for the gore, but Eddie moved out of the way. Rhyno stopped to avoid the ref, but caught a low blow from Eddie. A funny moment saw Eddie smile and wink toward the camera while the ref was checking on Rhyno. Eddie dropkicked Rhyno in the face, and pinned him with help from the ropes. A desire video ran for the Undertaker, which lead into John Cena cutting a monster promo on Taker from the middle of one of those flaming stars on the ground that they say you'll get sucked down into hell by standing inside one. Anyways, awesome promo with Cena talking about Taker not wanting to pass the torch to the new legend. Match 4) APA d. FBI. Stamboli was kicked right in the face by Palumbo, and I'm pretty sure it rung his bell, if not knocked him out for a few minutes. Bradshaw hit the clothesline from hell (which should be called the clothesline from contempo casual with the way bradshaw is all clean cut and bleach blonde) A very short match. O'Haire, the Bashams, Brooklyn Brawler, and Albert came down to assault the APA. Zach Gowan is shown getting ready for the main event, when Mr. McMahon comes in. He says he wont attack him tonight, but that on sunday people will fell sorry for him for the beating he will receive from Mr. McMahon. Zach calls him a disgraceful human being, in which Vince threatens to attack Zach, but Brock and Kurt show up to chase off Vince. Match 5) Big Show and World's Greatest Tag Team (WGTT) d. Lesnar, Angle, and Gowan. Angle started off wrestling against Benjamin and Haas. Lesnar tagged in and hit an awesome belly-to-belly suplex on Haas where Lesnar neve left his feet, but suplexed Haas clean over his head. Gowan tagged in and Lesnar threw him into the tag champs. He then hit a slingshot leg drop on Benjamin. Gowan was looking good until the Big Show tagged in. Show manhandled Gowan, going for the chokeslam, but having it broken up by Lesnar. Gowan finally tagged out, but was tossed off the apron, and landed hard on his back by the Big Show. That brought out Mr. McMahon who hit Zach in the leg with a chair. Refs helped Zach to the back, and we now had a handicap match. Show and WGTT worked over Angle before he tagged in Lesnar. Lesnar cleaned house, hitting two more awesome standing belly-to-bellys before tagging Angle back in. Kurt went for the ankle lock on Show, but it was broken up with Lesnar tried to F5 Haas, but swung him into Angle. This allowed Show to hit the chokeslam on Angle for the pin. After the match Lesnar laid into Show with a chair, before Angle and he started arguing. Both men went for their finishers on the other, but they were reversed. Finally the Big Show grabbed them and chokeslammed them both. End of Show. After the show, John Cena was outside signing autographs for a good 30 minutes. Matt Hardy was also out signing autographs. And I was able to get a V1 high five from him. Kanyon showed up to sign more autographs, and Brock Lesnar was seen jumping into his car and speeding away through the parking lot. A good show overall, and it did a good job putting more emphasis on the main event, as well as continuing to set up the Vince-Zach match. I thought the Guererro-Benoit stuff was good, and Cena was outstanding with his promo on the Undertaker.

That's gotta be one of the biggest understatements ever. Fuck...Kidman isn't even BENOIT in the promo stakes. THINK ABOUT THAT! BENOIT! Oh crap, you misunderstood. I didn't mean THE Rock... I just meant...you know...A rock. Like a stone...ZING! Then why did you use an "R" instead "r". If it was a mistake, that is Choken's gimmick. Actually, I just realised how much of an understatement it really was, so I tried to make it look like a joke. But it didn't work...obviously. So thank you for RUINING IT! But I'll let it slide cause of respect for your avatar.

6!?! I mean...really!?! Crap, I can't even remember one.

That's gotta be one of the biggest understatements ever. Fuck...Kidman isn't even BENOIT in the promo stakes. THINK ABOUT THAT! BENOIT! Oh crap, you misunderstood. I didn't mean THE Rock... I just meant...you know...A rock. Like a stone...ZING!

First off, shoot me but the Barroom Brawl's going to be entertaining filler. I mean sure, it SHOULD go to Ultimo Dragon vs Matt Hardy or whatever. But all it'll be is kind of like the Hardcore Battle Royal at Mania 2000. A big garbage wrestling clusterfuck=more fun than the Redneck Triathalon. If Eddie-Benoit gets less than 20 minutes, the backlash here will be unbearable. And Rey and Kidman vs TWGTT should be good, build-up or no build-up. Probably best anyway...Kidman's cool in the ring, but he's no Rock in the promo stakes.

Sinister Minister's fireball shooting cane thing. I mean the thing could shoot lowblow fireballs. Anything New Jack would have in his trash can, ranging from computer keyboards to kids toy lawnmowers. Buffalo Invasion, Kronus used an umbrella as a weapon, and then started doing some crazy dance. Someone using kitchen tongs to the groin...can't remember who. Oh...and you have to include Al Snow's Head.

A, Because they were only chanting for their money back because a non advertised wrestler/movie star and a non wrestler didn't show up at the end of the show. It had nothing to do with the product the way I read it.

What the hell is so perfect about WWE? The McMahons are getting the focus put on their matches at Vengeance, while the WWE Championship match(yeah, it has the Big Show in it, I know) is taking a backseat to them, Angle and Lesnar still aren't acting like enemies when they should be, there's a potentially bad HHH vs. Goldberg match that's going to be at Summerslam, there has been necrophilia, Al Wilson/Dawn Marie, etc. Oh, and there still is a set style by WWE instead of letting wrestlers wrestle how they want and giving them enough time to do so. In TNA, there's AJ Styles' Jericho-like heel World Heavyweight title reign because he retains through his cohorts(ala Jericho retaining his title against Austin in the Cage match with Booker T interfering on Raw) or the boss figurehead(ala Jericho winning the title at Vengeance thanks to Vince McMahon), catfights that are pointless, potentially good matches that are cut too short(Red vs. Skipper), Raven being booked like a bitch to Shane Douglas like Raven was in his ECW days to Justin FUCKING Credible(and Raven's probably going to lose in the 6-man Clockwork Orange House of Fun match too next week), Dusty Rhodes was actually brought back to active wrestling earlier this year, and this week, a bizzare World Heavyweight title finish that screwed the buyers out of their money. So, if that doesn't compare TNA's shit to WWE's shit, I don't know what will. Wow...way to bitch dude...you made the same point the 'ha ha you're an apologistic dude cause you like something I don't' people always do. Good for you, have a cookie! THANK YOU!!! Finally someone who can look past crap and enjoy the good without bitching endlessly about the bad. This is the point...that and 'whatever happens, SOMEONE will be pissed off'. Call me an idiot, but how many ladder matches has D-Lo been in?

Promotion of the mid-year NWA:TNA Match of the mid-year Benoit/Angle, RR 03 cause I haven't seen London-Dragon Tag team of the mid-year America's Most Wanted Wrestler of the mid-year AJ Styles Champion of the mid-year Kurt Angle, WWE(although Brock should so be on the list) Tag Champions of the mid-year -AJ Styles and Red, RoH Show of the mid-year -Wrestlemania X8, WWE Worst wrestler of the mid-year PJ Friedman, MLW(cause I'm and ECW mark) Nastiest spot of the mid-year -AJ Styles breaks Kazarian's neck, TNA Move of the mid-year -Paul London's Shooting Star Press Feud of the mid-year -Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle, WWE Jr. Heavyweight of the mid-year -Rey Mysterio Jr.

That's a spoiler?

Well I'm just glad they've actually done the sensible thing and explained the lack of burns rather than wasting money on fake burn make-up/paint which wouldn't look right anyway. What should is Shane/Kane, but that'd most probably be too much of a squash. RVD/Kane may be the same. Austin/Kane won't happen. But what about Undertaker/Kane? What Taker doing for Summerslam at the moment? Nothing we know of. Have Taker show concern for events on Raw with Kane, have Kane go all pyscho until Taker is begged to do something about it. In the end, Kane would destroy Undertaker at Summerslam, and the push would continue. This'd probably screw up the whole seperate brands thing they're actually trying to push again, but it seems weird Undertaker doesn't seem the least bit concerned about his brother's actions, brand split or not.

Preliminary Question: How did you find us/hear about us? Saw you on the board and from people's sigs on the board. Smarks Board Name: BiScHoFf Is GoD!!! Wrestlers Name: Landon 'La Cucaracha' Maddix Height: 5'10" Weight: 206lbs Hometown: Huron, South Dakota Age: 19 Face/Heel: Face Stable: None Ring Escort: None Weapon(s): Can you say 'Landon...get the tables!!!' A table spot specialist when he can use them within the rules. Quote: "What is life if you can't take a risk once in a while?" Looks: White, with medium length blonde hair. Wears a black and red headband which can double up as a choking weapon in desperate cases. Clean shaven and youthful looking. Usually ring attire consists of old John Cena style leather shorts, red with black trim. Black kneepads and red padded X-Pac style boots, with black trim and black 'LM's' near the ankle. Black elbowpads and red wristbands. Ring Entrance: The opening chords of Marilyn Manson's 'The Fight Song' ring around the arena and the crowd rise up to their feet anticipating the entrance of Landon Maddix. The music blares across the arena as the crowd waits, the noise slowly dieing down a little. Eventually the crowd pops again as Maddix runs out from the back, stops on the top of the stage and spins around ala Shawn Michaels, soaking up the adulation from the crowd. (Nothing suffocates you more than the passing of everyday human events) Maddix then 'struts' down the aisle, tagging the outstretched hands of the fans by the aisleway as he goes. (And isolation is the oxygen mask, come let your children breath in to surviiiiive!) Maddix spins around again at the foot of the aisle, arms stretched out in the air as he begins to sing along with the music in the background. (But I'm not a slave, to a god, that doesn't exist But I'm not a slave, to a world, that doesn't give a sh*t) Maddix walks around the ring tagging the hands of the ringside fans as the music continues. Landon goes the entire way around the ring, tagging hands with as many people as possible, before leaping onto the apron in one bound, turning around, raising his arms out as the crowd chant along with the music... FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Maddix then enters the ring and leaps to the middle rope, holding his hands up in the air soaking up the cheers from the crowd and the screams from the female fans in attendance. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 2 Speed: 7 Vitality: 4 Charisma: 7 Style: A cross between Brian Kendrick, and a pre World Title winning face Shawn Michaels. Kind of like what Kendrick should be like in a couple of years. Likes to take a risk, and use his agility to out-wit much taller/bigger/stronger opponents. Signature moves: The Whiparound- Places the opponent across the middle rope so half his body is hanging over the apron, by whatever means, and then runs towards him. He then uses the ropes to swing around in a 619 move, but instead of hitting the 619, he uses his legs to headscissors the opponent to the outside. Quebrada- Slingshot Moonsault Splash Plancha- Crossbody to the outside from the ring The Nose Job- Wrap-around DDT. The Rock used to use it. Begins like a crucifix, but spins round and hits a DDT. Splash Mountain Bomb- Catches opponent facing towards the crowd on the middle rope, and brings them straight down with a sit out crucifix powerbomb. CockroachDive Headbutt- Diving headbutt. Common moves: Superkick Hurricanrana Standing Spinkick Swinging Neckbreaker Flying Headscissors Dragon Sleeper with leg scissors Victory Roll Diving Reverse DDT Rolling Koppu Kick Shining Wizard Head and Arm Overhead Suplex Slingshot Suplex Swinging Bulldog Flying Forearm Rare moves: The YMCA Elbow- The famed YMCA Elbow is like the People's Elbow. But before hitting the elbow, Maddix does the YMCA Dance. Only used when he is in control, usually towards the end of the match. A 'showy' type move. Corkscrew Plancha- Self explanitory. Top Rope Jawbreaker- With both men on the top or middle ropes, Maddix grabs the head for a jawbreaker and leaps off with a super jawbreaker. Usually a counter for other top rope moves like super hurricanranas and such. Fisherman's Buster- Fisherman's suplex into a brain buster. Only used on smaller wrestlers or with extra leverage. Finishers: Crash Landon- With Landon on the middle rope, and the opponent stood in front of him on the mat, a Tornado Downward Spiral. Fah-Laming Fury Moonsault- Slingshots up to the top rope from the apron, into a Double Springboard Moonsault. Notes: As above, likes to take a risk, and use his agility to out-wit much taller/bigger/stronger opponents. Doesn't cheat much in the sense of old school cheating tactics, but will use table spots frequently when the rules allow it though. A cocky kid, but still a face-not too overbearing. Tends to play to the crowd at times, and sometimes use his speed and agility to frustate larger (hoss like) opposition in a playful, humiliating way. Vast movelist. Bio: The skinny kid from Huron, he was just another kid until he got into watching wrestling to try and be more popular with a group of kids in high school. Eventually he actually grew to like wrestling, and grew up idolising Shawn Michaels. The more he watched, the more he appreciated the wrestling he saw and eventually decided to try and get into the business himself. After a couple of years of hard training, Maddix finally got near to getting to the big time, until his father stopped him, as he didn't want his son involved in a 'stupid job' like wrestling. He told Landon if he went ahead with wrestling, it was the end of their relationship. Maddix went against his wishes though, and vowed to prove him wrong, but the rejection of his father still affects him to this day. Ultimate goal is to prove to his father that wrestling is a 'real job'.

Funny, can't remember the last time he mentioned it. And anyway, just because he didn't break his back doesn't mean he hasn't done permanent damage. And here something you don't understand... NO-ONE SAID SHAWN MICHAELS SHOULD BE CHAMP, SOMEONE SAID HE WAS A THREAT TO THE TITLE IN STORYLINE TERMS. Dumbass.
