Tawren

*SPOILERS* He beat Steven Richards in an OK, 4-5 minute match. Huge pop for Storm.

*SPOILERS INSIDE* I went to Raw...lots of fun. Results from dark/Heat matches, may be out of order: Chuck Palumbo beat jobber (Bobby Rude?). Very bad. Lance Storm beat Steven Richards. Huge reaction for both. Short match. Grand Master Sexay beat jobber. Rosey w/ Hurricane beat Sylvan Grenier. Bad match, huge pop for Hurricane. Shelton Benjamin beat Rhyno. Very bad match. Small reaction for both. Raw stuff: Jericho/Christian was great live, huge pop for both and great heat all the way through. Benoit interview was great, deafening reaction for Benoit. Small reaction for Edge. Crowd shit all over Cade/Tajiri. Cade is terrible and nobody was reacting. Here the Go Flames Go chant? Yeah. Huge pop for Hardy attacking Kane. I mean HUGE. Main event was pretty boring, but Benoit = double champ? Peter Marr: "Yeahhhhhh baby!" Post-show Benoit and Edge payed tribute to Stu and Owen Hart. HHH came out and said "I may have tapped out, but you all live in Canada!" and left. Funny line. Huge pops for Benoit the whole way through. Lots of fun. I doubt I got on TV, I was high up but perfectly parallel to the ring and front row of the Executive Club balcony. Not the best show I've been to, but the best Raw out of the 3 I've attended (5/28/01, 9/??/02). Biggest pops: Benoit Hardy attacking Kane Hurricane

Yes, yes it was.

Yes. Maybe I'm just so happy that Benoit's a double champ and how much fun it was live...it's been awhile since I watched that Raw. Maybe even, maybe less? Way better than the 9/02 one, though.

Professional wrestling star and aspiring professional football defensive lineman Brock Lesnar is resting at home after his motorcycle collided with a minivan Saturday evening in the Cedar-Riverside area of Minneapolis, his agent said. Lesnar, known better by WWE devotees as "The Next Big Thing," was on his bike around 6 p.m. Saturday when it struck a minivan that pulled out in front of him, said agent John Wolf. Doctors at Hennepin County Medical Center removed glass from Lesnar’s forehead and stitched him up, Wolf said. He was released from the hospital immediately. Lesnar is used to getting scuffed up in the ring, but the motorcycle smash was a little scarier. "He gets hit over the head with a chair all the time," Wolf said. "But obviously this one wasn’t planned." In a recent phone call with his agent, Lesnar said he was lucky — and sore. Nonetheless, the crash will "not set him back one bit" as the recently retired pro wrestler pursues a football career, Wolf said. Lesnar, who has been training in Phoenix and regularly visiting his family on the weekends, will resume working out Wednesday. Lesnar, 26, won an NCAA heavyweight wrestling championship at the University of Minnesota before joining the World Wrestling Entertainment ring. He’s expected to have a workout for scouts representing several NFL teams in mid-May

He's still IC champ.

Can someone explain why they liked Foley/Orton that much? I enjoyed it, but as I've said it was just random weapon shots with no flow.

I don't understand what is wrong with the OAO thread, but my quick thoughts on each match: Benjamin over Flair: *, Benjamin is the man but Flair is too slow nowadays. Tajiri over Coach: 3/4*, Coach is better than the OVW callups, sadly. Tajiri pinned off a punch? Jericho vs. X/Trish: **3/4, Solid stuff, Christian and Jericho work well together. Loved the ending. Vicky vs. Lita: *, when Vickie was on offense it was fine. Orton/Foley: **, no real story told and just random weapon shots. Orton sold like a champ, though. Hurricane/Rosey vs. La Resistance: 3/4*, Hurricane is talented, that's all I have to say. Edge vs. Kane: 1/2*, Boring as fuck, Kane shouldn't be working matches like this. Benoit vs. HHH vs. HBK: Fun, better than WMXX due to less sloppiness, no nonsensical bleeding, and less sloppiness by HBK. ***1/4

Hopefully I don't run into another SK WMXX incident here, but he is nuts. Ditto. both matches I'd rate around ***1/2 (OMG~! Orton with a good match), but **** is pushing it. The Main Event wasn't as good as WM (of course), and Cactus/Orton was very fun and got me jumping around all match. I NEVER thought Orton, Pussy of the WWE, would take the tumbtacks spot, so I remove the pussy from him. I'd say ***1/4 for the main event (1/2* better than the WMXX triple threat, which I'd know consider **3/4) and ** or so for Orton/Foley. I didn't really love Orton/Foley because they pretty much just traded weapon shots with no story told, but Orton sold like a fucking champ.

Hopefully I don't run into another SK WMXX incident here, but he is nuts.

Enjoyable show. I liked this triple threat more than the first due to a better structure, less nonsensical bleeding, and I could get into it a lot more. ***1/4 for that, match of the night. Next best was clearly Christian/Trish vs Y2J. **3/4 from me, fun match that I really enjoyed the ending of with the nice running enziguri. Everything else hovered from 1/2*-*3/4. Best Raw PPV yet, with nothing in the negative stars.

I doubt it. I think they just won't mention Austin again until he returns.

I thought the new WWExperience show was taking the 10AM slot and Heat was staying at night?

reshad974's legit. He's been right on several things so far that realistically nobody would've been able to guess. What else did he predict other than Eddie/Brock, which most people figured out as soon as Meltzer announced Benoit to Raw?

Go to NHL.com during the game and go the scores page, click Listen To Game and listen to the Flames coverage of it. Peter Marr = best announcer ever. You'll love it.

Well, shits changed. I'll be watching, probably won't be on TSM during the show, but I'll be watching. ... ...FOR FREE. No way in hell I'd pay for this.

I was watching Final Four the other day, and I noticed during the Free 4 All that Honky Tonk Man comes out. He grabs a microphone...and we cut to a video package. We come back and he is gone. What happened, why did he come out, what did he say, etc? Just wondering...

Shit. I'm gonna miss game 7 to go to Raw. Shit.

Morrison came out of the corner, powered his way out front, crossed the net, and slipped it in the corner of the net.

Morrison scores, Triple OT, Game 7 coming up!

*hugs Chris Benoit action figure*

Can't say I'm excited for any match, plus I didn't have anyone agree to go with me so no road trip. I'm not watching.

Nice stop by Auld on the Yelle shot.

They're killing me here.

Gelinas with a breakaway, and he gets poke checked! Oh man.
