  1. You forgot about the two crossdressers and the two gay cowboys.
  2. Well he is starting a feud with Knox, so thats a step in the right direction. WWE shouldn't over push Punk, a lot of fans still don't know who he is, so taking it nice and steady is the right way to go.
  3. Damn that has to be the worse picture of Booker T EVER!

    ECW Spoilers for the 10/10 Airing

    You can't always book new people with a undefeated streak kind of gimmick. Thorne loosing is just to show people he can actually be beaten, even if he's a vampire....well sorta like a vampire......ok DRESSES like a Vampire.

    That sounds like a really good show. Only 3 matches? Were they a good length or no?

    Who makes a first post like that. Don't be naive. So this bears the question of "WHO FREAKIN CARES!?"

    OAO RAW is War 10/2/06

    If it actually happens, Bischoff needs to bring in the nWo and Vince needs to stay the hell away from them. If Vince interacts with them, then the nWo should either kick the crap out of him or run him off since he's the one who made them go away in the WWE in the first place. Oh who am I kidding the Writers and Vince can't remember that far back. But I'm all for Bischoff leading the nWo with a take over of Raw or just the beating of DX......Actually that could be the angle, Bischoff plans on getting on revenage on Vince by trying to take over Raw by using the nWo. Bischoff and the nWo will get over on Vince all the time, eventually making Vince beg DX for their help. I could see this working if they brought in newer faces with it, along with Nash and Hall and all of that, but with just the same old guys... It will be just another hot shot angle that would be dead in a few months. Bret Hart should lead the nWo, well in a perfect world atleast. If freasher faces are put in the nWo, gimmick wise, shelton would be perfect. Okay... Shelton is good.... What about... Orton? or... Edge. I think Edge would be good. I mean... He already is a heel right? Edge's gimmick wouldn't match and if Orton joins...then I'm not a nWo fan anymore. Well I'm just throwing around ideas. I doubt that people like Masters, Benjiman, Nitro etc. would get much heat because they aren't really "big stars". Maybe that's why Steve Austin and Hogan are coming back??? Who knows? Nitro could work, he could be like their Buff Bagwell...only you know, talented.

    Melissa still has ties with APW and from I understand from other wrestlers who work in the Bay Area, Vince will have nothing to do with anyone who still has ties with Roland Alexander and APW. I'm told the reason is because Alexander has talent sign a contract with him. The contract has wrestlers who sign it give him a percentage of the money they make. This is what I've heard from wrestlers in the Bay Area, I'm not sure if its 100% sure or not, but knowing Roland's rep, I wouldn't doubt it at all.

    Marvel's Civil War

    Nope; Bendis, in one of his regular "taking a shit on continuity" moments of assholeness, declared in Secret Wars IV that the female Jack O'Lantern (McGuire Beck, Mysterio's female cousin) was the original Jack O'Lantern Jason Macendale in drag, as well as declaring that every single Jack O'Lantern to pop up since Macendale became Hobgoblin was Macendale all along. And Eddie Brock is still alive, though no longer Venom; JMS resurrected him and upgraded his condition to comatose around the start of Civil War. I am so fucking confused by all this. There was a 4th secret wars?
  15. For only having a 1 hour show, ECW has gotten a good amount of angles and feuds going right now.

    You know what, if Bossman was still alive and working in the WWE. Cryme time vs Big Bossman would have been fucking great.

    Fuck Kanyon

    Again, Kanyon = Drama Queen
  18. So TNA also has Angle doing indy dates as well. Apprently this new promotion out here in CA reached a teal with TNA and is going to bring Angle in sometime. The indy promotion is called GZW and they've used Sabin and Joe so far and are going to use Petey Williams on the 13th. Edit: Apprently GZW jumped the gun and Angle will not be doing anything with GZW for right now, but according to their promoter (who runs their myspace and posted two bullentions about this) their still in talks with TNA to try and bring Angle to GZW.

    The idea was to make Danielson a throwback to NWA champions of old, where they'd regularly do 60:00 draws. Sounds like a bad to way to bring back the time limit draws. Should have spaced them out a bit. Hardly. It's just a case of fans being so adjusted to shorter matches and that even in ROH, that fanbase isn't quite comfortable yet with broadway matches. People still see it as "going 60 for the sake of going 60". That was the case for the many marathon matches that Punk and Hero did but here with Danielson, it has absolute substance. Danielson's physical endurance has been his strongest attribute throughout his FANTASTIC reign (better then Joe's, even). It's a case of them doing a throwback to the old school but obviously building to a situation where Danielson's fuel tank expires. It's been well built that Danielson keeps fighting for 60 minute draws and eventually, when he does drop that title, that whole aspect will play a key role in it. I don't think doing 3 broadway matches in 6 weeks is really that bad as all three matches upon the reports have been completely different in style and execution. So they're using it to help promote Danielson? K. I guess I should have been more speicfic. I ment using the same finish so many times in a month. It gets old with a crowd fast. Thats what I ment spacing it out a bit. It's hardly the same match and finish. Danielson/Joe was them going at it non-stop in a intense battle that Joe simply ran out of time (similar to Punk for WTC and JvP2) and couldn't score the victory. The next two were 2/3 falls. Danielson/Nigel, was Danielson knowing that no one takes him to the limit like Nigel does. So he was trying for the draw after Nigel took the second fall. He knew that he needed cheap tactics to win the 2nd match and escaped with a victory by the skin of his teeth for the 3rd match. So he kept working the clock and he scored the win. Colt/Danielson, was a completely different match. It was pushed throughout that weekend that if there was a draw and there was only one fall, the winner of that fall gets the victory. Guess what happened? Colt got a flash victory early in the match. (which was a throwback to their first match in April where Danielson won in just 6 minutes). That meant Danielson couldn't play on the defensive side anymore. He NEEDED to pin/submit Cabana before time ran out. What happened? He takes a legitimate shoulder injury. Instead of being in control, Danielson was scrambling to score a victory and he resorted to cheating with just 30 seconds to go to steal a quick fall and that meant time expired. Danielson, chased Cabana(in his hometown) for 45 minutes trying to score the tie and once he realized he wasn't going to get it done the honorable way, he cheats and escapes with the title. - The only thing that was identical was the result "Bryan Danielson wins a 60 minute draw" but the match and the road followed throughout the matches were completely different. So it was used for gimmick matches. Ok that works. I thought they just had 3 regular matches do a broadway finish. Joe/Danielson, wasn't a gimmick. However, the crowd was clued in that it would be a draw (just like the fans in Chicago were aware that JvP2 was going broadway) and yet the crowd still eats it up and forgets the logical nature that it was heading towards, which is a tremendous testament to each men's ability to play the crowd. I'll take Danielson's 60 minute draws over Hart and HHH's forced iron-man matches where the match isn't built until the final segment. A pre-set 60 minute match rarely works because you can't convince a crowd to care until the final segment. ROH has really done a great job of making the 60 minute draws mean something. In the NWA days, they were so common place that the fans just accepted it. ROH blends the ability of utilizing that NWA mind-set but works it enough that they still seem special and stand out. They have also done a good job of making certain matches appear to be an obvious broad-way match only to cut it off at the 56 minute mark (Strong/Danielson III, for example). You seem to treat the notion of a 60 minute draw as weak booking where in the instance of Danielson's reign, it's been beautifully crafted. My only real gripe with Danielson's reign is that he constantly defends the title and he has now went through repeat challengers Strong-4 shots. Nigel-4 shots. Cabana-3 shots. Delirious-3 shots. Joe-2 shots (but three matches) He has also worked 2 matches per night on multiple occasions throughout his reign and it's nearing the edge of overkill but he has managed to be so effective that you can neglect that aspect. ...by now I should probably point out that I don't follow ROH and know nothing about Danielson's reign. I actually feel that broadway finish bookings (not iron man matches) should be done every once in a great while and it should be done when it involves VERY GOOD wrestlers that put on a great match that keep the fans on the edge of their seat. Thats how I feel about broadway bookings.
