I'd rather see Booker lose (and he is losing its a virtual lock now) if I was 100% sure there would be a rematch at Backlash with Booker going over. On the other hand seriously even if Jericho wins does anyone really think beating Shawn Michaels is gonna give him any real rub or lead to him winning the HHH Title and holding for a long period of time? HBK is such a non-factor IMO right now and really this is nothing more than a midcard feud. So personally I guess I'd go with Jericho if Booker doesn't get a rematch at Backlash.

They could have "stock footage" of Goldust accidently running over the Evolution in the parking lot when he was having one of those "episodes" from the electricution. I think its a bit too late to run an injury angle at this point. Besides for the WWE their just more comfortable with the pretend like it never happened angles.

Bleh the Raw tag division bores me to tears and I don't think they'll have the titles defended at WM XIX with Regal out. Probably just be yet another Dudleys table match for the #1 contendership like anyone cares.

Yes even though I know the majority people think Booker already has no chance this Sunday but if he gets the clean pinfall tonight they he REALLY has no chance. Hell I'm almost rooting for HHH to pin Booker tonight as that would be a sign he'll put him over on Sunday...or bury him.

Now if I only watched Heat. Okay thanks for the info. Hmmm wonder where that leaves Austin and Rock tonight in terms of matches. Probably just a main event interview.

I forget did they actually say he was injured when he interferred? Yes I know him having crutches would imply that. Having him there seemed pointless since he can't wrestle right now. What are they gonna do have him sit at ringside for the next 6-8 months? I guess that could be his new gimmick.

Guessing it will be Booker T vs. Flair tonight or the regular pre-PPV main event tag match with Booker/Austin vs. Rock/HHH.

They probably haven't been doing them because they haven't even acknowledged his injury on t.v. or Batista's for that matter as the Evolution storyline has been completely erased for WWE continuity. Besides even though the updates were funny I think constantly having to push a guy based on him being injured isn't exactly going to get him over.

GOD DAMNIT, so close on two major upsets especially Maryland. Happens to me every year every major upset I pick the team loses in the final minute. Ugh 23-9 through the 1st Round with so many close calls like Oregon (not an upset pick but damnit!), N.C. State, and Southern Illinois. Butler was the only true upset pick that paid off for me (wouldn't call Gonzaga or Auburn big upsets). At least still have everyone from the Elite 8 left.

That'd be assuming they had credibility to begin with. Too much of their news stories just seem like opinions taken off message boards. As for the Goldberg thing whether its fake or not it doesn't really matter as he will be coming in no matter what and might as well be for the first 2 months after Wrestlemania which is typically a very stale time for the WWE.

Having not bothered to register for this board till this past week let me say I have for quite a while now have LOVED the Workrate reports here and on the DVDR board (another board that maybe one day I finally get around to actually posting on). I'd have Dean's baby if he asked me to and if I weren't a man. Is that wrong?

You know I've never really thought that Vince would be insane enough to have his match with Hogan be the main event and that it would be Angle/Lesnar (before Angle's injury) or Austin/Rock even though that's been done twice but maybe I was wrong. But Vince is a still genius right? Right?

Yes I know but as I said in another stat topic I'm just using "dusty finish" as a universal term for a finish that is not clean rather than always saying "Wrestler A is 6-5 in matches that ended with interference, a foregin object be used, etc." Just a little quicker and easier that way. Maybe from now on to end any confusion I'll just say "matches that did not have a clean finish."

That decision was reveresed, though. Oh ya your right for excessive brutality he was DQ'd, forgot about that. I think that wins for lamest win of the year.

Next up The Hurricane's singles matches breakdown for the past year. March 21 Smackdown vs. Mighty Molly, no contest due to Brock Lesnar run in April 11 Smackdown vs. Tajiri, loses clean April 27 Metal vs. Chavo Guerrero, loses clean May 4 Metal vs. Albert, wins clean May 9 Smackdown vs. Tajiri for Cruiserweight Title, wins by DQ when Tajiri is counted out May 16 Smackdown vs. Tajiri and Billy Kidman in a Triple Threat Match for the Cruiserweight Title, wins clean May 23 Smackdown vs. Chavo Guerrero for the Cruiserweight Title, wins clean June 13 Smackdown vs. Test in a KOTR Qualifier, loses clean June 23 King of the Ring vs. Jamie Noble for the Cruiserweight Title, loses clean June 29 Velocity vs. Christian, loses clean July 6 Velocity vs. Jamie Noble for the Cruiserweight Title, loses clean July 18 Smackdown vs. Chavo Guerrero, loses clean August 31 Velocity vs. Chavo Guerrero, loses clean September 5 Smackdown vs. Crash, loses clean September 19 Smackdown vs. Matt Hardy, loses clean September 21 Velocity vs. Crash, wins clean October 6 Heat vs. Steven Richards, loses clean October 20 Heat vs. Steven Richards, wins clean November 4 Raw vs. Test, loses clean November 24 Heat vs. Justin Credible, wins clean December 2 Raw vs. Dave Batista, loses clean December 22 Heat vs. Raven, wins clean December 23 Raw vs. Chris Nowinski, wins due to interference by Maven January 12 Heat vs. Jeff Hardy, wins clean January 13 Raw vs. Steven Richards, wins clean January 27 Raw vs. D-Lo Brown, loses clean February 17 Raw vs. Chris Nowinski, wins clean March 9 Heat vs. Steven Richards, wins clean March 10 Raw vs. The Rock, wins due to interference by Steve Austin March 17 Raw vs. Rodney Mack, wins by DQ due to Rock interference For the year Hurricane is 15-14-1, 11-14 in matches with a clean finish, 4-0-1 in matches with a dusty finish. Had an 8 match losing streak from June to September but has won 11 of his last 15 matches.

I think I went with Texas to win it all and just because everyone seems to pick them as a "sleeper" I had Maryland getting upset in the first round just for the hell of being different. Also had Duke getting dropped in the first round just because you gotta figure they'll choke in the first round one of these years. Oh and no one gives a rat's ass about the women's tournament but good lord could ESPN have picked a more annoying song for their promos for the women's tournament? They air that damn commercial every break. I I I I I I I I I I can't stand it.

I haven't forgotten! Okay I'm not really a fan but for the topic here is Crash's singels matches breakdown for the past year. April 7 Heat vs. Scott Hall, loses clean April 14 Heat vs. Jacqueline, wins clean April 15 Raw vs. Jacqueline, loses clean April 28 Heat vs. The Bossman, loses clean May 26 Heat vs. Steven Richards & Bradshaw for Hardcore Title, loses clean, one of those dumb 24/7 matches where it was Richards/Bradshaw one-on-one but Crash ran in and gets pinned by Richards to end the match May 27 Raw vs. Goldust, loses clean June 2 Heat vs. Steven Richards for Hardcore Title, loses clean June 9 Heat vs. Shawn Stasiak, wins clean June 16 Heat vs. D-Lo Brown, loses clean July 28 Heat vs. Raven, loses clean September 1 Heat vs. Steven Richards, loses clean September 5 Smackdown vs. The Hurricane, wins clean September 21 Velocity vs. The Hurricane, loses clean September 28 Velocity vs. Billy Kidman, wins clean October 3 Smackdown vs. Jamie Noble for Cruiserweight Title, loses clean October 12 Velocity vs. Chavo Guerrero, loses clean October 19 Velocity vs. Shannon Moore, wins clean October 26 Velocity vs. Funaki, loses clean November 9 Velocity vs. Tajiri, loses clean November 16 Velocity vs. Chuck Palumbo, loses clean November 28 Smackdown vs. Billy Kidman for Cruiserweight Title, loses clean November 30 Velocity vs. Funaki, wins clean December 5 Smackdown vs. Jamie Noble, wins clean December 7 Velocity vs. Shannon Moore, wins clean December 12 Smackdown vs. Jamie Noble, wins by DQ due to interference by Nunzio December 26 Smackdown vs. Bill DeMott, loses clean January 2 Smackown vs. Nunzio, loses clean January 11 Velocity vs. Nunzio, loses clean For the year Crash has gone 9-19 so there ya go.

No one can beat Test cleanly. Well referencing my stat topic from yesterday Test jobbed clean 6 times last year. He lost clean to Faarooq, Rikishi, John Cena, Booker T, Undertaker, and Al Snow. Thing is though the job to Snow was his last clean one and that came back all the way back on October 7th. Brock's early push wasn't very good as you see all those matches where Heyman had interfered to help Brock win and people wonder why he wasn't over those first few months.

From the next Shawn Michaels to a glorified jobber.

Okay this is gonna make people laugh but by going strictly PPV's the last 100% clean as whistle job at a PPV by HHH, that wasn't to Shawn Michaels or Undertaker, was SEVEN YEARS AGO. At Wrestlemania XII he jobbed clean and was squashed in under two minutes by The Ultimate Warrior. Wow. Now granted he hasn't been in every PPV in that time and during the Russo Era how often did ANY matches end clean but wow just wow.
