Wow, that was fast. Cena is Hogan '05.

I thought Cena was busting out Rick Steiner's catch phrase there for a second.

I haven't watched Smackdown much lately. That is the gayest title belt I have ever seen.

Cena/Suzuki...this'll be five stars, I'm sure. Cena's just doing nothing until the Rumble, where he just might win.

He's far more impressive when next to the relatively small members of the ROH roster, but put him with someone bigger, and he because just another guy. He HAS had some great matches with Samoa Joe, though, who is bigger in size. So he can work matches with them that are great. But appearance wise you are correct. And he doesn't work a CW style to get into that division.

Yeah, his knock is his look (he isn't on steroids yet) and lack of size (he's 5-10, 210 or so). But he's solid in the ring.

Yes, he is. He calls it the Spinal Shock I think. He calls it the CX03. He also does one swung into a cutter, called the CX02, I believe. And tons of backbreakers. Ooh, Snitsky/Kane on RAW...

I was hoping...dammit! Nice job in his two minutes, though.

It'll be a nice way to debut someone sooner or later...

It's been injured for about a year, but RVD worked through it. He hurt it worse at a recent house show.

Rodrick who? He's a Florida guy, works indies, including ROH. I think he's only 21. Does a ton of different backbreakers. Good worker.

I just want to see Roderick Strong vs. Kurt Angle tonight. That's about it.

I didn't even know Martel was a tag champ with Garea.

What about this match: Hachinohe, Japan - February 6, 1984 Tatsumi Fujinami & Akira Maeda defeated WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan & Bret Hart

Go to www.thehistoryofwwe.com to find out what yours is. Mine: WWF @ Buffalo, NY - November 1, 1982 Charlie Fulton defeated Joe Abby Nick DeCarlo defeated Curt Hennig Chief Jay & Jules Strongbow defeated Johnny Rodz & Jose Estrada Salvatore Bellomo defeated the Black Demon Buddy Rose defeated Ivan Putski Tony Garea defeated Swede Hanson Rocky Johnson defeated Baron Mikel Scicluna Superstar Billy Graham defeated WWF World Champion Bob Backlund via disqualification Was Backlund heel champion at the time? Who is Bellomo? Who is Demon? Fulton? DeCarlo? Hanson? Scicluna? Was Curt Hennig a rookie back then? What were his stints with the WWF?

Someone will upset him sooner or later. No idea who it's going to be, though.

Tajiri and Christian are arguing over who loves Vince the most, to get his endorsement for Taboo Tuesday. It soon becomes a "Who can hug Vince the best" contest. Vince: Alright, now you're just acting like children! Christian: Children, who I believe, are the future! Vince: Would you shut the hell up!?

"As we reported yesterday in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, Ring of Honor regular Roderick Strong was said to have really impressed WWE management after working a segment with Kurt Angle that will air on tonight's Smackdown. The crowd was said to have been into Strong's work during the Kurt Angle Classic. Beyond ROH, Strong works for Jersey All Pro and a number of Florida indy groups." Credit: PWInsider.com

Also, wouldn't they sometimes try out a heel turn and then scrap it if the audience didn't react to it that well? I shouldn't have put Candido in the match, but other than that I don't think it's a big deal. Besides, it's just fantasy booking.

"The Tag World Grand Prix 2005 is coming! This tag team tournament will be unlike anything the independents have seen before - in fact, with 24 teams, this is the biggest tag tournament since the 1987 Jim Crockett Cup! The Tag World Grand Prix is so big, one night cannot contain it. So join us in Reading, PA at the Riverside Beneficial Assoc. for Night 1 of the tournament, and then the very next night, the tournament concludes at Emmaus Fire Co. in Emmaus, PA. Over the course of the following weeks, we're going to be announcing all 24 teams appearing at the Tag World Grand Prix. Wrestlers from other promotions, other states, and even other countries will be part of our massive tournament! This week, we're pleased to announce the following duos are confirmed for the Tag World Grand Prix:" Death Match Kings (Madman Pondo & Necro Butcher) ROH trainees (Davey Andrews and Matt Turner) The SuperFriends (Chris Hero & "Lightning" Mike Quackenbush) The Wild Cards (Eddie Kingston & Jack Marciano) CKNY (Cory Kastle & Niles Young) Arik Cannon & Claudio Castagnoli F.I.S.T. (Gran Akuma & Icarus) Team MPW (Version 2.0 & Darin Corbin) Crossbones & Mano Metalico Big Daddy (Shirley Doe & Darkness Crabtree) Men@Work (Mister ZERO & Shane Storm) Team IWS (El Generico & Kevin Steen) Ring Crew Express (Dunn & Marcos) Dark Breed (Hallowicked & UltraMantis Black) Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy (Lance Steel & Jolly Roger) Team Toryumon X (Skayde & Milanito Collection AT) Larry Sweeney & Share Cropper Jigsaw & Sabian --Plus six more teams to be addded. This should be AWESOME. The shows will be 2/18 and 2/19.

Wow, I didn't know my little house show booking would stir up so much controversy. The WWE tests out heel turns at house shows all the time. This wouldn't be the actual turn, but just a "test" of it to see how it plays out. Then the real turn is executed on TV. I don't see it being THAT far fetched.

Vito from BetweenTheRopes said tonight he's wrestled these guys a lot and they're ready to go, down at the 270 range, in great shape, etc. He said that they are going on the road immediately, and that the three year deal they signed with the WWE is a VERY nice deal. So apparently Vince and company really like these guys.

Ouch, that sucks.

Who played the second Doink? Where did Borne go, and when did they switch?

That's a pretty long grudge for the guy to hold...like over 10 years.
