Zero Hour > Oscars.

Well, at least the finals had good entrances....

Even though The Rap proved to me this week that he is nothing more than Rock-lite, I'd take Repo Man over JBL. Fuck anyone that tries to justify his title reign. I hate him. I change the channel when he comes on. That isn't a great heel, that's X-Pac. I know people who have stopped watching for good since he won the belt. I'm not Cena's biggest fan either (although I did enjoy his heel run), but he's the next big marketable figure for Vince. He's over everywhere he goes, and he's seen by the fans as the top star of the company, so why not make him the top star? How would you keep the belt with him and make him look like a good champion? Well thats easy. Do the same thing ECW did with Mike Awesome, you carry him through it. Have a feud with Eddie. Have Orton and Jericho jump to SmackDown. Then you can feed a heel Orton to Cena, and have either Jericho or a returning heel RVD take the belt from him at SummerSlam or No Mercy. Make Cena the man. Dave's great, and they are going to have to do the exact same thing with him on RAW, except in a different way. Put Cena on all the posters, all the television appearances, all the mainstream crap leading up to his movie. He has to be known as the Figurehead of the brand, even though he will be stinking it up in the ring.

Classic. And Rikishi Hoffu? ARE YOU INSANE MAN?

Anyway, feedback. - Very nice opening match. I'm really getting into Rodez/ character,and he has thus far proved that he could potentially surpass guy slike AJ and Ragdoll in the ranks of the best X Champions ever. He's doing a top job. - I've been following this NNMX-Saints feud also, and it has been a very entertaining one, especially with the Hollywood/Saints interaction. I'll be interested to see where this goes on Sunday, and if the feud continues into AngleMania. - OMG PARODYING SMACKDOWN! - I like how the Dude was played up to be 'rattled' by his match against Brock later, as he was always going to be in for a hard fight. Shows a more serious, human side of the dude. - The usual cintilating speech from PRL and Popick, and I'm enjoying this Panther-PRL feud as well. I've always been a Panther mark, so I'm hoping that he keeps on this roll for a while. - Good stuff by Hoff in the tag, as we were both busy guys this week. - Funny segment with Rodez and Josie/Jasmine. Rodez had better watch out though, because storyline continuity says that Jasmine is still with Ragdoll.... - classic stuff with Ned, Holly and J.R, ut I do not want the mental image of JR taking a shit, kplzthx. - Very interesting Love Doctors segment, followed by a good guest appearance by Double A and COMEDY~! by Jose and Jasmine. - Hmmmm, No Way Out was in Pittsburgh and Kurt Angle lost to Cena, Zero Hour's in Minnesota, so does that automatically jinx Hoff? Or DOES IT? - I like that Josie's bringing in HI-YAH talent, as she was the head of the HI-YAH Rat Pack (which was, if anyone's forgotten, the name of Ragdoll's group one year ago that included himself and TNT, Tyler Bridges and TJ Burns - Jasmine's brother).... um, huh? Josie's putting her position as GM on the line? Never saw that one coming! Should be a hell of a time Sunday. - interesting little segment with K.U.R.T and Cole. I wonder where its going... -I was waiting for the Champ to make an appearance, and I'm glad he did, as this was an awesome promo. This Drek-Hoff feud has taken a more personal turn in the last few weeks, and I love it, as its one of those matches you can't predict. - Good preiview of ZH. This is a really god buildup for Mania, and I know its going to be one hell of a show Sunday. Trust me, I'm Australian. - Ooooooooooh, Rodez versus Stevens this Sunday on PAY PER VIEW! I think Rodez' reign could be in jeopardy. - Wow. Calvin's a face? I like it, and I like the new attitude, more serious and less endorsed. Should make for a good time in the coming weeks.

We only just started getting the two shows, but if I had to estimate, I'd go with a Jerry Lynn match from early 2001 in his stint with the company. Not sure who he faced around that time, but I'm willing to bet that they were very high quality matches.

I'm proud to be the only sober one out of me, Bobby and Hoff.

I'm predicting that Hoff was drunk when he wrote that. This week on HeldDown... Will Axel confront the winner of the OAOAST Championship match this Sunday at Zero Hour? Will Axel and Crystal celebrate Axel's victory against The Mad Cappa, or will they mourn his loss? You'll certainly find out!

How about Al Snow stealing Socko and wrapping it around Head?

Wouldn't the biggest Mania match be, oh I don't know, the Main Event?

I wouldn't take this shit Bobby, you da man Bob! GO BOB!

*Masters does the Full Nelson* Schiavone: THERE'S HIS MOVE! West (out of breath): I CAN'T BELIEVE IT TONY! THIS GUY IS GREAT! Actually, no. Wouldnt work. The gay fireman angle would be gold though, they could blatantly steal Agnes' idea for an OAOAST character and give him the Bubba Bomb, and call it 'Fierce Pounding of the Ass'

I'm back for a half hour, and quite hung over. Vodka Jelly Shots are evil. I still havent recieved some of the speeches (including the most important one), so until I do the Awards will have to be put on hold. Sorry, but I can't control some of these things. Oh, and so glad I don't live in America after reading what just happened at your house Hoff.

Due to me starting University on Monday (Sunday night your time), so the Awards may be delayed. Also, I need the speeches of the winners I havent recieved yet, so that might delay the show anyway.

Match of the Decade.

Very true, but you have to make concessions sometimes for people who lead busy lives.

Axel vs. The Mad Cappa

For a guy who never saw XPW in action and only read about Black and is wrestling/porn career, this is really, really interesting. Keep it up.

I forked out $200 for reasonable seats at Global Warning back in 2002, but damn, that was a great show. Brock-Rock-HHH, Edge-Jericho, Angle carrying Test to one of his best matches, and The Filthy Animals vs. The UnAmericans. Memorable.

Jeez Rob, thats the second future PPV opponent of yours that has quit before your title match. Tom, now Hoff. Kiss. Of. Death. Sad times. Oh well, I voted that he was funny, so I have a clear conscience.

Hey! Here's an idea! How about all th SmackDown wresterls jump to RAW and all the RAW wrestlers go to SmackDown! That'd be awesome! IMO, three to four changes would be more than sufficient to give the brands something new. Perhaps Jericho, Orton and Hurricane for Cena, Luther (give him a big man feud with Dave) and Bob Holly or something.

Is this officially TNA's Death?

Oh I disagree, thats just fucking great, Nash, Jarrett, a Cello, and Billy Gunn... Its like the devil child of WCW, Legends of Wrestling and WrestleCrap.

I'd actually like to see this PPV succeed greatly.

You didn't make it, you ass.
