'Taker vs HHH please

My 12th pick is Ultimo Dragon!

Who do you think was the least deserving individual to ever be in a Wrestlemania Main event? I think the least deserving was probably King Kong Bundy at Wrestlemania 2. The guy is hardly a legend, was never any good in the ring, and was pretty much just there for Hulk Hogan to beat.

If TNA really wants to keep Styles, they should really consider booking him as if he is the star they seem to acknowledge that he is. This is like WWE with RVD... they don't want to lose him, but they don't want to give him any incentive to stay either.

Teddy Hart is becoming more amusing by the day. Seeing as wrestling seems to be heading in a direction where wrestlers are faces and heels based on who they are outside of the ring, Hart could find himself making tons of money someday... assuming he isn't fired for being a little shit.

This is good news, I wasn't looking forward to Mexico vs Japan based on the past quality of Japanese wrestlers to appear in TNA. I'd kind of rather see a AAA vs TNA rematch, with TNA winning it.

RoH > TNA Even though I have easier access to TNA as of right now, I'd much rather see ROH flourish.

Fuck yeah! I whole-heartedly agree!

My 11th pick is Colt Cobana!

My tenth pick is... Raven!

This just made my night. I am feeling soooo nostalgic now.

Considering the image isn't even displaying on my monitor, I'm guessing this didn't deserve it's own thread. Or is it just me?

My ninth pick is.... Low Ki!

WWF Smackdown! August 10th, 2006 Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to another exciting episode of WWF Smackdown as the pyro explodes. Cruiserweight Championship: Frankie Kazarian © vs AJ Styles Match Background: This match is for the WWF Cruiserweight title. Frankie Kazarian has been WWF Cruiserweight champion since 16 July 2006. The Match: Dropkick connects to the BUTT of the jaw and Kazarian goes down. AJ Styles gets taken down out of nowhere! Kazarian just WAFFLES Styles with a STIFF chop that hurt ME to watch! The referee bumps after catching a wild right hand and is down. DDT from the top rope by Frankie Kazarian. That looked KILLER. Hooks the leg, but the referee is still out! Styles flips out of a Frankie Kazarian bodyslam attempt. Hard back suplex on Kazarian. Come to think of it, that move had WAY too much power in No Mercy for N64. SUPER frankensteiner on Kazarian, who hit hard. Hooks the leg for a two count. Kazarian walks into a face crusher variation. Has anyone's face ever really been crushed by one of those though? Hooks the leg! ONE...TWO...NO! Frankie Kazarian once again takes the advantage after blocking a few punches and connecting with some forearms. Styles takes a NICE hurrancarana from Frankie Kazarian. Pin, but Styles is out just before the three count. Styles counters a backdrop attempt with a kick to the face and hit a clothesline! Frankie Kazarian can barely stand. Styles goes for a swinging neck-breaker, but the referee gets nailed by Kazarian’s feet. Kazarian counters out of the move and hits the same swinging neck-breaker on AJ Styles. He covers Styles, but the referee is out. Kazarian breaks the count to go check on the referee. Styles gets to his feet, and nails a fierce low blow! Here it comes - Styles Clash. Rob Van Dam quickly comes running down the aisle and into the ring! AJ Styles turns around. Rob Van Dam spins Styles around. Rob Van Dam hits the Five Star Slam! The referee comes to and sees RVD attacking Styles and calls for the DQ! Rob Van Dam has a chair. AJ Styles stands up...and gets floored by a shot to the head. Another two shots smack down across his back, leaving him unmoving on the canvas. RVD sets the chair up, then picks up AJ Styles. He gets whipped into the ropes...and then drop toe holded, sending him face first into the chair! Rob Van Dam has left Styles down and bloodied in the ring after a brutal assault! My Opinion: A ***3/4 rating! Yay! Tazz: RVD is reminding AJ Styles just exactly who he is! Cole: Styles was about to cheat his way to the Cruiserweight Championship before Van Dam got involved! Now he’s left Styles a bloody mess! Winner by DQ: AJ Styles RVD in the back. We come back from the commercial, and we see RVD in the backstage area. Josh Matthews runs up to him and asks RVD about the attack on AJ Styles. RVD: August 20, 2006 is going to be one of the biggest nights in my career, man! I’m retiring, whether or not I beat AJ Styles! But, it would be way cool for me to finally pin that jack-ass one on one. Then, my career would be complete. You know something else, dude? I don’t think AJ is going to let me! I don’t think his manager, Don Callis, is going to let me. So that’s why I have taken a kind offer to heart. (Erik Watts appears). Watts: That’s right. AJ Styles and Don Callis have dedicated their careers to hurting other people. That ends at Summerslam. There will be a fair fight between RVD and AJ Styles, because I am going to see to it. As far as Don Callis goes, I dare him to take a shot at me. RVD: Damn right. I’m going to make sure that even after I retire on August 20, 2006, not a single person will ever forget the name of Rob… Van…. Dam! SARS in the ring. The Sanders Administration for Rhyno’s Success makes their way to the ring. The only missing member is Reno, who we last saw running from the police last week on Smackdown. Sanders (angry): There seems to be some confusion within the ranks of SARS. You see, gentlemen, we are the Sanders Administration for RHYNO’S SUCCESS! This means that we dedicate our lives to seeing that Rhyno remains WWF Champion and that Rhyno does not ever have off weeks. To do this, we cannot afford “off weeks” ourselves. Last week, PAUL LONDON PINNED RHYNO! What do you call that? Success? NO! I call that failure. (Sanders gets into Bill DeMott’s face). Sanders: Bill, where were you last week during Rhyno’s match with Paul London? (DeMott shrugs). BILL, WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHILE RHYNO WAS GETTING PINNED BY PAUL FREAKING LONDON! (Rhyno is becoming irritated at the constant reminder of his loss). DeMott: I was at the police station, trying to get bail for Reno. Sanders: Well, HOW NICE! Since when did we become the Sanders Administration for RENO’S success?!? I don’t recall! Reno is of little concern to us when Rhyno is in the ring. (Sanders turns his attention to Chuck Palumbo) Sanders: And you! Where were you! Wait, don’t answer me! I’m sick of your excuses. As for Rodney Mack… you’re a busy man. You are United States champion, you were too busy worrying about your upcoming title defense to be fully able to prevent Rhyno’s loss. (Palumbo and DeMott appear irritated by this). Anyways, I pulled my weight around in the back, and tonight we’ve got ourselves a little handicap match. Rhyno, Rodney, and Chuck get to face the team of Paul London… Chad Collyer… and no one else! This is a week of redemption, gentlemen! Rhyno will redeem himself by beating the hell out of that punk, London. And Chuck, you will help in this beating, to redeem yourself for being so worthless last week! London and Collyer think they can take our titles away from us at Summerslam, and they are dead wrong. (The group poses, as we cut to commercial). Briscoe Boys vs Psychosis and Men's Teioh Match Background: Last week the Briscoe Boys made their debut and upset Sean O’Haire and Chris Kanyon. The Match: M.Briscoe just WAFFLES Psychosis with a STIFF chop that hurt ME to watch! Mark Briscoe hits a rolling kick on Psychosis. Konnan has ruined any chance for me ever enjoying this maneuver again with his shitty execution of it. There's a two count on the pin. Tag to Jay Briscoe. Briscoe Boys whip Psychosis into the ropes and hit a double backdrop. Covers for a quick two count. J.Briscoe hits a dropkick on Psychosis and gets right back up. Psychosis is able to duck a clothesline attempt and connect with a counter clothesline. SUPER frankensteiner on J.Briscoe, who hit hard and is loopy as a result. Covers for a quick two count. Tag between Psychosis and Men's Teioh. J.Briscoe takes a NICE hurrancarana from Men's Teioh. Hooks the leg! ONE...TWO...NO! Hard back suplex on J.Briscoe. Come to think of it, that move had WAY too much power in No Mercy for N64. Teoh walks into a drop toe hold. Flying elbow from Jay Briscoe connects. J.Briscoe tags out to Mark Briscoe. Spinning back kick from Mark Briscoe. Teoh tags out to Psychosis. Mark Briscoe hits a rolling kick on Psychosis. Konnan has ruined any chance for me ever enjoying this maneuver again with his shitty execution of it. Psychosis is in big trouble...Back Suplex Neckbreaker!! 1....2....3! Briscoe Boys climb opposite turnbuckles, working the crowd as they celebrate their victory. My Opinion: A ***1\2 rating for a great match. Keep on trucking...you'll get there. Cole: Another awesome win for this young duo! Tazz: The Briscoe Boys are impressive yet again. Winners: The Briscoe Boys Johnny Stamboli vs Low Ki Match Background: These two are going to be opponents in the fatal four-way match at Summerslam for the United States championship. The Match: Rude Awakening neckbreaker on Low Ki by Stamboli. Remember when that was a legit finish? Low Ki gets hit with a HUGE clothesline. There's a two count on the pin. Low Ki backdrops Johnny Stamboli out of a piledriver attempt. That took a lot out of Low Ki. Stamboli is a glutton for punishment and just continues to take it during this match. A Gut buster connects on Stamboli and hits hard. There's a two count on the pin. Belly to back suicideplex, Stamboli got folded up big time. Pin, but Stamboli is out just before the three count. Low Ki slams Johnny Stamboli down and motions to the crowd. Low Ki misses a big legdrop after stalling too long. A sit out full nelson slam on Low Ki. There's a two count on the pin. Flying spear out of the corner! Low Ki nearly got crushed into little bits! Pinfall attempt: ONE...TWO...NO! Rude Awakening neckbreaker on Low Ki by Stamboli. Remember when that was a legit finish? Low Ki is a glutton for punishment and just continues to take it during this match. Johnny Stamboli misses a big legdrop after stalling too long. Stun Gun from Low Ki! I still can't believe that was Austin's finisher at one point. Belly to back suicideplex, Stamboli got folded up big time. Low Ki ducks a Stamboli clothesline and does a quick roll up. Low Ki has a handful of tights! The referee hasn't seen it: 1....2....3!! I don't think the fight has finished. Johnny Stamboli and Low Ki have begun brawling again! They wind up brawling all the way down the aisle and out of view. My Opinion: Consider yourself lucky, a ***1\4 is hard to get and it was earned every step of the way. Let's see if you can do better now. Tazz: Oh my! Low Ki steals a win from Stamboli, but the Bull isn’t going to take it sitting down! Cole: They are tearing each other apart! Winner: Low Ki The Heroes… Chad Collyer enters his dressing room, and Paul London is sitting there. Collyer: Hey man, ready for tonight? London: As ready as I’m ever going to be. Collyer: I hear you on that one. This isn’t going to be easy, but I think we can do it. You’ve pinned Rhyno twice! London: Thanks, man… Hey, I was wondering… Collyer: Yes? London: When you won the WWF Championship at Wrestlemania… what was it like? Collyer: It was the single greatest feeling I have ever felt. I had never felt more pride or honor than I did at that very moment. It made everything I’ve ever done in my career worth it. London: Wow… maybe I’ll know what you mean at Summerslam. Collyer: I have a feeling you will. You’ve earned this, Paul. Don’t forget that. WWF Tag Team Championship: Basham Brothers © vs Matt Hardy and Matt Stryker Match Background: Basham Brothers are one of the most experienced teams in the promotion. Hardy and Stryker are teaming up as Mattitude 2.0 for the first time tonight. This match is for the WWF Tag Team titles. Basham Brothers have been WWF Tag Team champions since 16 July 2006. Last week, Stryker and Hardy beat the Bashams in a non-title match-up. The Match: STIFF~! chop lights up Danny who covers up to try and stop the agonizing PAIN! BAAACK Body drop by Danny gets a bit of a pop from the crowd. There's a two count on the pin. Tag between Matt Hardy Version 1.0 and Matt Stryker. Mattitude 2.0 whip Danny into the corner. Matt Hardy Version 1.0 whips Matt Stryker in for a hard clothesline to follow-up. Hooks the leg for a two count. Stryker uses a basement dropkick to the knee and it looks like it might be TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL~! Danny counters an arm wringer with an elbow to the side of the head. Stryker walks into a side slam. Think about how much talent it takes to side slam someone. Nash can do it. Hooks the leg for a two count. Danny tags out to Doug Basham. Stryker walks into a side slam.

Matt Stryker has a brief offensive flurry, but gets nailed with a boot to the gut...and hit with the Doomsday Device! Haas and Benjamin have laid everyone out! My Opinion: Absolutely solid match. A few minor things brought it down, so I'm tacking on a **** rating. Cole: Hardy and Stryker are the new tag champs, but the World’s Greatest Tag Haas and Benjamin are beating them down! Tazz: They were disrespected last week in that interview Stryker and Hardy had! They are just getting revenge this week, I admire that. Winners and NEW WWF Tag Team Champions: Matt Hardy and Matt Stryker Orlando Jordan is backstage. Josh Matthews runs up to catch Orlando Jordan. He asks Jordan what he’s been up to since his profile has been low as of late. Jordan: I’ve done a lot here on Smackdown. I’ve picked up some big wins over some big names and I’ve had my own share of rivalries. I guess you could say that I feel sort of unfulfilled though. I need more excitement, I need more risks. (Suddenly, Nunzio appears out of no where). Nunzio: Is it risks you want? Maybe you should talk to me and my associates. Josh: Nunzio! We haven’t seen you in weeks! Nunzio: Oh, wow! Great observation, Sherlock! Well, I’m back and I’m badder than ever. Jordan: What’s this talk about risks? Nunzio: You know, take a chance. You and I have nothing against each other. Why don’t we team up? Jordan (laughing): That is the lamest thing I’ve ever heard of! Nunzio (angry): You think I’m kidding? Jordan: I think you’re a moron. Nunzio: Well, I think you’re an under-achiever! (The two of them go nose to nose). Jordan: Is that so? Nunzio: Yeah! In fact, I’d go as far to say you suck! Jordan: I’m not a violent person, you know. For the sake of keeping my good name, I’m going to pretend you just did not say that. Nunzio: Oh yeah? Well, with that sort of attitude, you could find yourself in a world of hurt. Jordan: We’ll just have to wait and see… shrimp. COMMERCIAL!

My eighth pick is Rob...Van...Dam!

Haha, I've had it since it came out and I just watched it last night. It was pretty great.

I would proudly wear a TSM t-shirt.

Even with this in mind, I hope Angle still takes some time off. Seriously, and even if he did retire, he could be proud of his final match at Wrestlemania XX.

My seventh pick is Rhyno.

Flair vs Guerrero! Let's hope they do better than they did at KOTR 02

My sixth pick is Paul London.

At my peak of being a mark, I watched all of the WWE shows. That means I would watch Raw, Smackdown, Heat, Livewire, Superstars, Jakked, and the PPVs when I could. Not only would I never get bored with them, but I would be anxious for them. I just enjoyed it so much that I couldn't wait just to see more. Now I watch Raw and Smackdown if I"m home for it and the PPVs if it works out. I watch Velocity if there is a good match announced and I watch Heat if I'm watching tv and it's on. How times have changed.
