JoeDirt

DURRRR...two big Samoan guys, let's team 'em! Joe could be a HUGE star in TNA with the right push, but oh well. I'd rather see if stay in ROH. But yeah...Jarrett should spend TONS of money to bring in Jamal...he'll send the buyrates SOARING!

Yeah, I'm iffy on the 7/23 show, but I might have to buy it for Cannon vs. Rave and Petey vs. Hero. This show is a definite buy. I also have several shows coming, including Simply the Best 5 (thanks PFL!), A Shot of Southern Comfort, One More Time, A Butcher Loose in Highland, and the KODTM 2004. I'll post reviews on ALL of these shows here as I watch them.

Cool, thanks. One more question - is Cannon's "Glimmering Warlock" a Shining Wizard?

They want to bring in Samoa Joe and put him in a tag team with friggin' JAMAL?

Was the Sabu 3-way really sloppy and bad? How would you rate Delirious vs. Styles and Sydal vs. Punk? Can't wait to see this show...and the next Highland show looks great too. And THEN we have the TPI!

On paper, this card has the potential to one of the best indy cards of the year, IMO. Scorpio in ROH is interesting. Should be fun.

This is different than what everyone has been saying....RAW gets Unforgiven, SD gets an October PPV, and RAW gets the Tuesday October PPV?

Yeah...like they'll job Taker before the PPV. Kurt Angle is the only few wrestlers, Taker would job to. And they will job Taker if it develops a fued. Not with Taker about to lose to JBL at Summerslam...he won't do two straight jobs like that. Remember, this is UNBEATABLE DEADMAN Taker!

...who, on an episode of RAW, took a leak on ARN ANDERSON...

Sadly, I don't think Eddie is getting the title back anytime soon...

I'm glad they had such a great backup plan after Mordecai bombed...

I haven't watched RAW in 2 months...what would be the reasoning behind Edge turning on Benoit and giving the title to Orton?

Yeah...like they'll job Taker before the PPV.

Yes.

HHH/Orton isn't very exciting, but oh well. Taker/Heidenreich? That will be all time new levels of awful-terrible-horribleosity. Wonder what the "long term plan" for SD is.

Could anyone give me or point me to a review of IWA-MS Ted Petty Invitational tournament for 2002?

Right now I think I'm going to get ROH Reborn Stage 1 and 2 and then all the recent stuff after those shows except for RRC3. What are the best matches on the PWG BAM3000 tape?

I'm sure he meant he wouldn't affiliate with ROH with RF involved. If not, oh well. not a big deal. Feinstein is gone, might as well come back and make some money.

I have only seen one 3PW show. It was okay, but unspectacular. Aside from the wet t-shirt contests, they don't seem to have their own niche yet.

I liked Signs, but I hated 6th Sense. The twist is so implausible for SOOOOO many reasons and I just thought it was stupid.

Apparently the ending IS one mentioned here already, and it seems pretty disappointing.

TNA is giving away a money match just this week when David Young faces that referee!!! SMELL THE BUYRATE!!!!!

Jarrett makes me yawn. But it's clear that he's running the show in TNA and wants to be the champ for now. I guess he thinks he's clearly the top draw they have. Oh well.

Velocity ------------- 1) JBL vs. Shannon Moore 2) Mark Jindrak vs. Scotty 2 Hotty 3) Chavo Guerrero vs. Funaki 4) Bashams vs. FBI Smackdown ------------------ 1) Rey Misterio vs. Spike Dudley (CW title) 2) Kidman and London vs. Dudleys (Tag titles) 3) 8-man elimination match for US title: John Cena vs. Booker T vs. RVD vs. Kenzo Suzuki vs. Billy Gunn vs. Rene Dupree vs. Charlie Haas vs. Luther Reigns The new Smackdown GM is also announced

Two points: 1) I believe the whole Raven's contract thing came from the fact that Jarrett wasn't going to job the title to Raven, and there was heat between the two for that, so Raven threatened to leave. Scott Levy is NOT a dumb person - he knew that this was the time to put him over for the title, but Jarrett put the kabosh on that. 2) AJ Styles, IIRC, volunteered to go back to the X-Division. Not that I blame him, though, as he can have great matches with the guys there and he wasn't going to get a push over Jarrett again anyways.
