Tawren

Straight street.

Not Kiprusoff. He has had several bad games.

I just got back. Certainly not smart or even all that funny. Several fart jokes, lots of boring parts, and I only laughed once or twice when the Farbucks Coffee was destroyed and they ran across the street to another Farbucks. Bad.

My god? 125 million? I just...I...Spider-Man...ohhh. EDIT: I went back and read the whole article. I had assumed it made 125 on the weekend when it made 125 on the whole 5 days. Spider-Man retains! Wooo!

Any word on how good Williams/Styles was?

Giles, Xander, and Snyder look absolutely terrible. Everyone else looks OK, I guess. Show doesn't sound that promising.

Sounds like a fun show. Reyes/Quance sounds a bit too short, but it should be fun to watch. Everything looks good -> solid. I'll be getting this.

I certainly hope Benoit/Kane is as good as the house show reports have it being.

Holy crap, that is a shocker if I ever saw one. 0:45? Very interesting. Ultimo vs Tiger Mask looks like the only good thing on that card, sadly.

Why would they be finishing after the Conference finals? (Canadian here, for the record)

1)Will Benoit and Edge disolve as a tag team? If so, when? Very soon. 2)What are going to be the PPV main events for the rest of the year after Summerslam and next year leading to Mania? HHH/Orton/Benoit/HBK. Rotate through that for Raw. Eddie/JBL/Cena/Show/Angle/Taker. Rotate through that for SD. 3)Will Eddie hold on to the title until Mania? No. 4)How long will Benoit and HHH feud for? Remember, they really haven't even had their first match yet since Benoit came over to Raw. Until Survivor Series. 5)Will Jericho step up to main event status or will he stay where he's at now? Stay where he is at. 6)Will Eddie fight the Undertaker? No. 7)What'll be the main event for Smackdown at Wrestlemania XXI? Eddie vs Cena 8)What'll be the main event for Raw at Wrestemania XXI? HHH vs Orton or HHH vs HBK. 9)Who'll get injured? Nobody in the main event. Maybe some small ones (ala HHH and the groin). 10)Who'll stay healthy? All main eventers. 11)How will Benjamin do? Depushed after SummerSlam. 12)Who'll win the Rumble? Cena 13)Will Angle come back as a wrestler? If he does when will it be and for how long? He'll be back by Survivor Series, probably sooner.

Honestly, I don't want to see this show. I hate Homicide and the rest of the show sounds disorganized as hell. I kind of want to see the 8 man, but nothing else interests me. EDIT: From CM Punk on EWB4 Just got back from the show and I figured I'd post my thoughts/reactions. First of all, I thought the show being held outside was gonna be really stupid but it was actually pretty cool and I liked the change. It wasn't that hot but it wasn't pleasant either. I was really looking forward to the Tag Team Scramble with the RCE but it turned into put over the new stable Generation Next (Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Jack Evans & Roderick Strong) and Alex Shelley, which was was a recurring thing throughout the night. So we get Austin Aries, Jack Evans & Roderick Strong against Special K (Angel Dust, Dixie & Izzy) which was a pretty good match. Evans pulled out an awesome 720 -> Senton hybrid which was awesome and they pick up the win. This leads into Shelley saying Special K had no one who could wrestle, which brings Hydro into the ring to a big pop. Shelley makes Hydro tap in a crossface in a decent match and I was REALLY hoping to see Hydro pull it out. Afterwards, Shelley offers him a spot in Gen Nex but he turns it down. Good. The Carnage Crew hits the ring with Justin Credible & Masada and immediately I think Justin & Masada were the ones that crapped in Loc & Devito's bags. Turns out I was half right, after Trent Acid comes out with Danny Daniels and Masada turns on TCC. Danny Daniels, Masada & Trent Acid vs Loc, Devito & Credible with Team Acid going over after Masada pinned Loc. Interesting note, when Loc came out I thought he was Homicide. He looked just like him. John Walters vs Jimmy Rave is supposed to be next but Generation Next comes out and says they want their spots. So they beat down Walters & Rave and I'm kinda glad.. I'm not really that high on Rave. Walters was laid out and looked to have hurt his neck. Nigel McGuiness vs Jimmy Jacobs was next and I was popping huge for the Huss and Nigel. It started off as five minutes of comedy work with Nigel even playing along to some of the crowd saying "USE ANOTHER FUCKING ARMBAR!" and he was cool as hell. Nigel wins after actually using an arm-submission after working the arm the whole match. Great work by both men. ROH Tag Team Titles NO DQ Match: The Prophecy vs The Second City Saints is up now with The Prophecy getting the face pop. Another confrontation between that one fan that HATES Punk and always chant DIE DIE DIE. Good stuff and a solid match-up. They brawl to the outside by me and Maff NAILS Colt with a GATORADE! And a wicked chair shot. Punk pins Whitmer with his Pepsi Plunge, after Cabana & Maff get knocked off the ropes and to the floor. Intermission The Briscoe Brothers vs The Outcast Killahs is up next and I couldn't believe it. THIS was the match that was going to steal the show? Mark looked like he didn't even care in this match and I found out why afterward. The Briscoes beat the OCK in about five minutes when Jay hit the Jay Driller and Mark hit the Cut-Throat Suplex. Then we get The Briscoes trying to leave but Generation Next hit the ring AGAIN and say they want two more spots now. And the Briscoes were gonna be it. Jay said they never back down from a fight and Shelley points out there are four of them and two Briscoes. Which brings out John Walters & Jimmy Rave to a pop. Alex Shelley, Austin Aries, Jack Evans & Roderick Strong (GenNex) vs Jimmy Rave, John Walters & The Briscoes Brothers was up next. And this was by far the Match of the Night. It went at least 40 minutes and it had me on the edge of my seat for nearly 30. Great, great work from all eight men (even Rave) and there were lots of high spots and GREAT moves. I really dug Roderick & Aries. But Strong (I think it was) nearly got killed by Walters, when he tried a second rope powerbomb and nearly fucked it up. GenNex pick up the win after Shelley made Walters tap out to a modified crossface. Lots of "Match of the Year" chants and it wasn't near that quality. But it was a great match. Evans is a really good spot monkey and can sell really well, I liked his stuff alot. Then we get the confrontation between CM Punk & Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and it started off with a cool promo Punk cuts on Steamboat, about wanting to be remembered and his matches with Flair and when he tore the house down at the Silverdome with Savage. This eventually leads into a fight between the two with Steamboat going uptop for a Flying Elbow Drop but Cabana crotches him. Then Punk & Cabana double team Ricky with Punk delivering a flying elbow drop with the ringbell. Which brings out refs and The Prophecy, to help Steamboat. AND NOW THE MAIN EVENT~! ROH World Title Match: Homicide (w/Julius Smokes) vs Samoa Joe is finally up after a pretty long event but it was enjoyable for the most part. A wild brawl from the start with Joe going for the Ole Kick early but Homicide stops it. Joe hits the Ole kick on Smokes but then Homicide comes back. They beat the shit out of each other, nonstop for awhile and then Homicide brings out a fork. Digging it into Joe's skull and then they GO STRONG STYLE with slaps & lariats for some close falls. Joe hits a modified Fisherman's Buster off the top but only gets two. Same for the island driver. Homicide comes back, hitting Joe with a piledriver for two. Then locks on the STF but no tap out. Goes for the Cop Killah but it's reversed. Joe then finally puts Homicide away with a Brainbuster in a HUGE anti-clamatic moment. Joe retains which I think is good and I thought he would. After Joe leaves, J-Train proceeds to cut a 'Wiggah' promo about how him & Homicide don't need the wiggahs and white devils anymore. Then Homicide tries to turn heel to huge Homicide chants but he still does go through with it. Which brings on some great comedy moments for people around me and when Homicide tries to act all hard, he was still getting huge pops from the wiggahs and white devils. All in all it was a very cool show and the outside atmosphere was interesting and pretty cool. I'd suggest picking up the tape or DVD when it comes out. It seems like they really wanna push Shelley and I bet he picks up the Pure Wrestling Belt soon.

I'd go on Who Wants To Marry My Dad (NBC). ...what?

Here is a report from the show that my friend just sent me (that he is sending to sites) .............. Ring of Honor returned to the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory (or, more accurately, just outside of the Pennsylvania National Guard Armory, as the show was held outdoors due to troop mobilisation) for "Generation Next," or as I liked to call it, "Generation Put Alex Shelly Over A Lot." 1. A scramble match between the Ring Crew Express and the Christopher Street Connection never took place as Generation Next, a heel group led by Alex Shelly consisting of Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, and Jack Evans attacked both teams. An open challenge led to a six man tag after that. 2. Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, and Jack Evans defeated Special K (Izzy, Dixie, and Angel Dust) when Strong hit his power bomb into a backbreaker, Aries hit his 450, and Evans hit his 720 for the simultaneous pin. Afterwards, Shelly did mic work saying that nobody in Special K could wrestle, leading to... 3. Alex Shelly made Hydro tap to his crossface-like submission. A good match, but by the end of the show, I had to wonder why these two matches even took place. The Carnage Crew hit the ring for their match with the people who pooped in their bags at the last show in Elizabeth. While the music of Trent Acid and Danny Daniels played, Masada of the Carnage Crew attacked Loc from behind, leading to... 4. Masada, Trent Acid, and Danny Daniels over Loc, Devito, and Justin Credible after Masada pinned Loc. Between the tan, the tatoos, the short black hair and goatee, and the orange bandana, Loc looked like Taz. Devito looked to have perhaps injured his knee in the match. 5. John Walters and Jimmy Rave was another no-contest when Generation Next did another beatdown on the two of them, saying they were going to take their spots. 6. Nigel McGuinness defeated Jimmy Jacobs using an arm submission. Nigel looked impressive with his cool mat work. 7. Colt Cabana and CM Punk defeated Danny Maff and BJ Whitmer to retain the ROH tag titles after Punk pinned Whitmer after a Pepsi Plunge. This started off as a formula tag that degenerated into a brawl over the building type match. Intermission 8. The Briscoes defeated the Outcast Killaz, who were accompanied by Prince Nana and Josh Daniels. Daniels showed more personality than I've ever seen him show on his way to the ring. This was basically a glorified squash. After their match, Generation Next came down to the ring again and told the Briscoes that they were going to take their spots. Jay Briscoe did some mic work saying they weren't going to back down, and then John Walters and Jimmy Rave came out to back up the Briscoes, leading to an eight man tag... 9. Generation Next defeated the Briscoes, John Walters, and Jimmy Rave after Shelly made Walters tap to his crossface like move in approximately 45 minutes. This was a good match, but a lot of people will say it was Match of the Year quality when it was nowhere near it. It was a fun match, with Strong really impressing me the most with his offense. However, just because a match goes 45 minutes does not make it a Match of the Year candidate. This was booked to get over Generation Next strong, and I suppose it accomplished that, but it probably went a little too long. Also, what was the point in having the earlier six man and the Shelly singles match if they were going to have a 45 minute match later in the show? Especially when the show wound up going almost 4 hours, they could have shaved some time off by dropping some of the undercard matches. The confrontation between Ricky Steamboat and CM Punk saw the two argue back and forth, and Steamboat challenged Punk to a fight. Punk backed down and offered his hand for a handshake. After Steamboat grabbed it, Punk attacked. It was kind of sad, because it was apparent Steamboat really shouldn't be doing stuff like this, as he seemed to really stiffen up when it came time to bump. He got an advantage on Punk, and went for the flying body press, but Cabana cut him off and the two of them laid out Steamboat, including Punk coming off the top with a chair. Steamboat had to be helped to the back. 10. Samoa Joe defeated Homicide to retain the ROH World title. This would have been a great match if Homicide was winning the belt. As it was, it was still a good match. Homicide had most of the offense, and brought out old stuff like his fork. It really got over the fact that Homicide would do anything to win the title, but in the end Joe pinned him after a brainbuster. Afterwards, Julius Smokes and Homicide did some mic work with Smokes saying that all of the people in the crowd were racist, and called them all crackas. Homicide turned heel also, saying that he didn't need the fans. There may have been more, but it dragged out for like 10 minutes and I really didn't see the point anymore, so I left. Overall, it was a good show, but WAY too long. Four hours is a little too long for a show like this, especially one outdoors in the heat. The last two matches were good matches, and worth buying the tape/DVD for, but don't believe the Match of the Year hype for the eight man. It was good, but not at that level. credit to indyking from czwfans.com

That's what I would do if I were to bring a sign.

Good point. But hell. Those are some pretty big team turnarounds in a quick time. Just thinking about it, it boggles the mind.

Lightning in 6 is my prediction.

2-1 win for the Lightning to eliminate Flyers. Lightning/Flames in the finals. If you told that to someone 2 years ago...damn.

*Benoit with a suplex* "orale riba la raza essa whoaaaaa orale oil of olay" "STONE COLD STONE COLD BAH GAWD MEXI-KANG BAH GAWD STONE COLD!"

Well, he's probably better than JR/King combined. That's not saying much, is it?

These are workrate wise, of course: Paul London vs Chris Benoit Paul London vs Eddie Guerrero Paul London vs Rey Misterio

I finish June 18th, I think, but I did start in September.
