USC Wuz Robbed!

Yes my apologies. I was referring to the Beat the Clock Raw that led to the NYR Elimination Chamber where Triple H regained his belt, or retained, or something, over a group that included a red-hot Batista.

It's not meant to be a knock. We all have those silly angles and champions at one point or other. I just don't like the idea of Flair chasing titles anymore at his age or Carlito being a world champion. dubq, the June update in question is for EWR.

Really? That's not very current. I have one that is updated through June. Edge's the default World Heavyweight champion and stuff. I think it's right before the draft.

tekcop's scenario is terrible and I would not watch a minute of it if it played out in real life.

I wonder what people expect to find in the toxicology reports though?

YES HE SHOULD No because he wasn't one of the eligible candidates. It was just Randy Orton, Ken Kennedy, King Booker and Bobby Lashley. Whoever won in the shortest time of the four got the title shot. It was never stated that if the opponent defeated one of the four, they'd replace that person in consideration, like the last time they did Beat the Clock.

No I saw him as a failed manager (by having him yanked off managing Khali too soon) and a jobber.

There is no way in hell Lashley could be a good heel. He's too bulky to ever portray a cowardly heel, and he doesn't have the angry intensity to work as a monster heel. And either way he doesn't have the mic skills, which are much more important for heels. Maybe a heelish version of the Cowardly Lion?

They call it a corkscrew neckbreaker. It's sort of a standing blockbuster. Looks more like a flipping (on Nitro's part) Play of the Day/Overdrive without the leg involvement.

The Campus Legend mode sounds really horrible. Point Pursuit? What the fuck? You don't win games based on the score, but rather on individual accomplishments... yeah that'll go well.

Lashley worked okay as heel in OVW, though thanks to Heyman's booking he got over in a poor man's Batista role with Doane playing the HHH.

Why? They produced a few quality guys like Chris Nowinski, John Hennigan and Matt Cappotelli, and Matt Morgan. (In regards to Raza's post)

No. Woody Paige needs to go away. I actually prefer ATH when neither Paige or Mariotti or Plaschke is on. So my ideal ATH would feature Adande, Smith, Cowlishaw and Blackistone. Adande has definitely proven himself worthy of more PTI appearances though. Put him with Bob Ryan and we're solid.

Probably either because Rey isn't ready to return or HHH doesn't want to dilute the return pops for both Rey and himself.

It was zero tolerance for getting in trouble. You can't tell a grown man he can't be out at 3:30. At the end of the day, no matter how they try to spin it, Tank Johnson got cut for speeding. That is REAL zero tolerance baby. They should cut someone for littering next. Well hey I like it. Besides Tank being out at 3:30 am speeding doesn't lend to good character especially after his jail term. If Tank was warned to play it cool and he littered, yeah, cut his ass.

With how excited Punk got when ECW drafted Boogeyman, I could see him picking Boogeyman to wrestle Nitro.

I'm shocked. This means Vince really valued Piper.

Huh? You're right about the others, but I think I can count on one hand the number of times Piper got pinned in the old WWF. Really? I'm pretty sure he has lost at least 5 times to Hogan alone.

Except it would unravel all the momentum they've had. Going back together as AMW is a step backwards.

Unless if he held the belt for 8 years like Bruno did.

In December I believe.

You mean the Lions won't live up to their promise? That'd be shocking. Utterly shocking!

Czech did come off as a dick there, since he really doesn't know what he's talking about And he doesn't have to post that he's NOT going to see it. Seemed like a way to just be antagonistic for the hell of it.

The problem is that while the show was actually good, there's a lot of "detective/hero doing right thing for people" type shows on USA, so it might get lost in the shuffle, especially with Monk and Psych about to return.

Oh. I thought it was a nice pick for Milwaukee, putting Yi together with Bogut, but that's a stupid thing to do, demanding a trade.
