Choken, agreed. Argument is not to his quality of matches, but to how he claimed his U.S. notoriety.

Whatever man, go watch the most overrated talent of the 90's, Vader then. He's a good worker, yes, but most of his U.S. fame came from a monster push in a bush league and ALWAYS being booked in programs with superior talents (Michaels, Flair, Sting, Cactus, etc.). And if you wanna bash the "Hoss" Team for being UNSAFE....then look at VADER, goddamnit, his record isn't very clean. I'm not gonna rip Vader, 'cause its just my opinion that he's overrated, so I shouldn't be flamed. He's still a great talent. But for you to automatically judge a PPV before the full lineup's out as being crap and calling all the people that posted here and have some anticipation for the show "dumb", well then I guess you're the type of pessimist who is happy with berating others and watching your slow Japanese wrestlers of equal stature mount each other for 35 minutes and tell a "story". Sorry man, but I'll take an uphill battle that hasn't even happened yet over a "Rocky Mountain Monster" that doesn't wash his tights.

You gotta relax. The Smackdown Survivor Series Match isn't advertised to be a "scientific" wrestling clinic. It is a story between Smackdown's 5 Monster Heels Vs. Smackdown Faces. The dead weight will be gone early. It'll be Angle/Benoit left in with Brock and Show at some point. Say what you will about The Big Show, but he can be carried to good matches and is an opposing force. If two small at wrestlers against all odds facing 5 colossal giants, in a "survivor" match isn't appealing to you, then I suggest you use your time to fish out some tapes of matches that appeal to you instead of ripping my comments. You make yourself look pretty foolish when you blatantly make NEGATIVE comments about EVERY match. Perhaps you're right, and some of these bouts won't be super...but for you to rip EVERY match is ridiculous. The WWE PPVs of late have given us at least a FEW watchable contests...and this card potentially has a bunch of them, too. My apoligies that a potential turn in the RAW Tag, a screwjob, or kickass match doesn't interest you...and that Smackdown has booked moreorless an "internet" match between everyone's darlings Benoit and Angle against everyone's hated Hoss Connection...I find this bout intriguing, as well.

Hey...ah... Do the people posting ridiculous threads like these ever give credit to where they "hear" stuff...such as, "Goldberg has contract that won't let him wrestle Lesnar." Do you know how God damn stupid that sounds? This reminds me of two 8-year olds discussing how many Ultimate Warriors there were, and how many died. "No, Hulk won't wrestle Warrior again cuz he has a contract that says he can't!" As far as Goldberg's contract, I think he'll be kept around after XX. He's done reasonably well as World Champion, the problem being we, as fans, haven't seen him in a match where we actually believe he'll lose the belt b/c we know the rematch with HHH with coming. Survivor Series will be a crucial point in BG's career as far as future plans to keep him as a credible champion or fade him away. I predict Goldberg retains. BG's selling to guys like Batista and Mark Henry is only helping them, so good job Bill. They may be hosses, but at least their value to the marks improves, and thus, the quality of the overall product is seen as more credible when the green hosses are involved in main events.

Anyone think the annual SS "screwing" will occur? I predict Austin's team loses. Coach gets to do his interview, blah blah, with a dejected Stone Cold, who'll "step down, tomorrow night on RAW bah gawd the rattlesnake no!" But Austin'd have nothing to lose anyway, so he'd have to be taken out by someone... For that to occur, I think someone's gotta turn. I had two theories. 1)Booker T. They're pimpin' "he was the first man to step up!" thing a little much...plus, T's return interview hinted at his desire to chase the IC Title. He's been kinda bland (IMO), although has popped crowds nicely. Still, I don't think he's a big enough character in the WWE World to be a catalyst for screwing over Austin. He'd only get beat up in a grocery store afterwards. Leading to...2)Shawn Michaels. I do NOT see Mark Henry eliminating Michaels. Nor Orton, who got to do that at Unforgiven. Christian ain't pinning Michaels, nor will Steiner. Leaving Jericho. Jericho would be the man who eliminates HBK, and that could happen. Or Michaels takes out Jericho. I just really think Michaels, with the return of Booker T as a top face, would A)produce shock value by screwing Austin and would B)make a better heel than a face right now. There's a lotta intrique going into this PPV. A turn in the RAW Tag...Will Hosses R Us doinate...Benoit pushed...Cena pushed...The "big bump" with Kane/Shane...Evolution and the World Title Match... Could also be the first 8-Time WWF/WWE World Champion.

Tajiri/Noble wasn't announced. I'm throwing that in there because I think they need a cruiser match. Honestly, Ultimo Dragon doesn't have the crowd reaction to face Tajiri on PPV (yet...) and Mysterio/Tajiri has been beaten to death. A lot of talent left off, yeah....Dragon, TWGTT, London Spankings, Guerreros, etc.

Wow, I totally forgot Shane was fighting Kane. And I've seen every incident between them. Shows my anticipation for that, I guess. Can't all be good.

The Dallas, TX crowds are always super hot. Smackdown Elimination Match: Lots of good stuff here, actually. Yeah, I know, the heels are HOSS-IFFIC, but who cares? Honestly, I think the cool point about this match is you get a classic mat/science little guy team (well, most of them...but Bradshaw will be out 1st) against a gigantic, and I mean HUGE team. John Cena will arrive and get a super pop...this show will make him as a fan favorite. Kurt Angle will finally be phased away from Brock (for now), and I honestly believe Benoit will shine. And stop bitching about Team Hoss! OK, A-Train can wrestle, but he's huge. Jones and Morgan are huge. Brock can wrestle and is huge. Show is a monster. Sure, most of them SUCK at matwork, but for one show could we stop BITCHING about "Oh gee, Jones sucks, he can't do a dragon suplex!" and have FUN watching both the MARKS and the SMARKS clear-cut favorites, Angle's Team try to chop down the huge heel team. I'm telling you, this is gonna have a lot of heat, and be FUN, if anything. Noble/Tajiri: I think Tajiri holds the strap and all, but it'll be a good match. Crowd should be hot for Tajiri's kicks and Noble has some cool ipact moves. Vince Vs. Taker. OK, I'll agree...two old men using punch and kick attacks is kinda boring. But it's different, I guess, we've never really seen these two go at it. Shit, Vince and the one-legged wonder was decent, and Taker's in great shape. This should be passable. Goldberg/HHH. I don't even want to hear complaining. These two have ruled RAW for the past year, and the match should have great heat (not sure for who...the crowd could turn on Goldberg, easily). Hopefully Hunter is able to perform close to 100%. Rumors of Evolution turning on HHH....HHH taking the belt....Goldberg retaining leads to a pretty unpredictable contest. RAW 10-Man: The Dudleys involvement won't gain extra stars, but it won't lose any either. They'll pop the crowd and work hard. Jericho is always a player, Christian is improving, and even Steiner sees more comfortable and at least a little more watchable as a heel. RVD and Booker T, whose movesets are getting VERY boring (though RVD sees to be putting some extra effort in lately...hmmm...) will also improve the match. Orton will add some heat and will likely draw a good pop when/if he is eliminated. Austin is a heat machine, as is Bischoff, so expect their involvement. An HBK turn wouldn't be crazy... I dunno, Survivor Series looks better than say SummerSlam, or any PPV this year (except WM 19). IF everything hits, I think we'll be raving about it. I would've liked to see Eddie G involved.

My highlights so far (An Eagles Fan): Panthers stumble to an improving Texans team. Defense can't do it ALL. Buccaneers continue their downward spiral, losing to the lowly Saints. Giants crawl to a win over the J-E-T-S...NFC East continues to look like garbage. Raiders/Lions crap. Chargers/Bears crap. Colts look great, easily the 2nd best NFL team right now. Bengals not ready to hold a lead...so far. Cowboys/Redskins suck. Eagles can't put away Falcons, sigh. Rams, huh? That's my shocker of the day.

DEUUUUUUUUCE!!!!!!!!! And he's in for the touchdown!!!

Isn't Johnny Polo (aka Raven) the commentator for that match? I've yet to watch it... I heard some positive reviews earlier in this thread about him.

What an awful week in the NFL this is. Vikes/GB (barely) and Indy/Dolphins only quality games. I'm stuck watching the two shitty NY teams play until my (hopefully) somewhat-healthy Eagles play the Vick-less Falcons. BOR-ING.

:::1999 mode::: C'Mon, this is easy. Everyone knows Jeff Hardy is the next Shawn Michaels, is so much better than Matt, and will be the WWF Champion by 2003. Sometimes I'm glad we know so much more than the marks. :::2003 mode::: Will o' the What?

Oh cmon, the Hardyz wore tassels, true...but with Bright neon PLAID tights and headbands...looked like the love spawns of Billy & Chuck and Roddy Piper.

Ah, leave him alone. Bret, links are rarely put here for MP3s of songs that are pretty easily found on downloading devices, like Kazaa. If its "Undertakers 35th Theme, found off my buddy's old Titan CD", then its new, and posted here usually. But for Limp Bizkit (and c'mon, they may SUCK now, but I think everyone marked out for "My Way" one time or another...), they're pretty easy 2 find on Kazaa. So go find it.

:::begs AND chooses::: I also would have liked The Rock Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin from the Raw after WM 17. It fit the DVD perfectly b/c it illustrated two HATED rivals going at it and one of them getting pummeled into the cage at the end.

I really liked this DVD...haven't watched HBK/Marty yet, though. The lighting is fine, stop crying. Anyway, WHAT ABOUT SCHIAVONE'S MUSTACHE? HAHA! Tully/Magnum is sweet. I love all these historical highlight packages. Magnum's Belly to Belly was just...wow. Great FIGHT. Anyone catch the trash thrown in the ring after Garvin wins the belt from Flair? Bret/Owen, my favorite feud ever, and a great match. I wanted the "You're gonna cry a river!" promo though. How come Bruno and Larry Z is like 5 seconds long? Eh. Bret/Yankem has no place on here. Coulda put Steiners/Money Inc., whatever. Good stuff. Great DVD.

Hunter has been employed for 10 years in WCW/WWF, and a big name since '96. So he's already reached half of Leslie's time...

What was the damn name of the move the Express did (pick up opponent, lean himbackwards...other guy jumps off top with flying legdrop.) I believe its the same as AMW's Death Sentence....

Yo, I was a big mark for The New Midnight Express. They had cool knock-off music and Cornette, and everyone legitimately Hated them. Plus they gave the NAO their best match ever. Spanky is a tassel fan, as his has indicated on Confidential. I always found it interesting that Shawn and Marty called themselves "The Midnight Rockers"...this had to piss of the two Express teams (Midnights, R n Rs).

What the fuck...Spanky is being Adolf Hitler... Hillary Duff, baby.

Do you prefer Turd Fergison?

Spanky will never get any. Tatanka had real native american lumbee tribe LEATHER tassels. Whoa.

Yoko falling off the ropes is one of the worst finishes ever. Bret's "battle" ended with that crap...jeez...Burt Reynolds could have made the pin using that logic.

Hey, for all you liking this nostalgia... Who did you all would LEAVE WrestleMania X with the title? Yoko, Lex, or Bret?
