But what if somebody beats him? They'll get his OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALS!!!!! What if they put them down their PANTS like Benoit did!!!!!!!!!

My favorite line was from the CZWFans board, which was something like "wow, the SATs even botch posters."

He might not get a chance to any other time.

From CRZ, posted in the same thread...

Found the thread.

Anyone else remember Mike Tenay doing an interview with Midajah, and just being a prick to her, basically calling her a whore, doing a semi heel turn...what was up with that? Just another angle they dropped quickly?

Velocity: 1) Spike/Kidman/Akio vs. Chavo/Nunzio/Shannon Moore 2) Reigns/Jindrak vs. 2 guys 3) Bashams vs. London/Funaki Smackdown: 1) Rey Misterio vs. Rene Dupree 2) RVD vs. Kenzo Suzuki 3) Kurt Angle's hometown challenge 4) Dawn Marie and Jackie in some Thanksgiving costume thing 5) Booker/Eddie vs. JBL/Orlando Jordan

I'm kind of surprised Rodimer was eliminated from TE. Looks like we might get Spike vs. Shannon Moore at Armageddon.

London returns as a Velocity jobber! Yay!

Thanks to ShatteredSoul for the following: DARK MATCH: Match 1: Chris Masters over Hardcore Holly (some Renee Dupree punishment possibly?) Masters is a developmental talent from OVW. VELOCITY: Match 2: Shannon Moore & Nunzio & Chavo Guerrero over Billy Kidman & Akio &Spike Dudley. SHANNON MOORE pinned Spike. Yes, for real. With a flipping neckbreaker. Match 3: Luther Reigns & Mark Jindrak pinned McCallister? & A-1 (possibly the steaksauce tycoon?) Nothing special here, it was short and painful. *Match 4: Bashams over Paul London & Funaki. Again, short and not so sweet but it was great seeing London again. SMACKDOWN: Match 1: Rey Mysterio Jr. over Renee Dupree in a pretty decent match. Rey won after the 619 and a springboard legdrop. Renee's eye looked F'n sick. Damn that Bob Holly. Next was the Tough Enough Competition. This week they had to Armwrestle one another in a mini tournament. Heres the results: Dan was eliminated before the arm wrestling. Puder over The Miz Ryan over Justice Puder over Ryan, so Puder wins again. weee! Next were some little segments. Firstly, Carlito Carribean Cool and Jesus talked about how Cena attacked Carlito before the match last week and cost him the US belt. Carlito then gave Jesus Cena's chain and lock because he took him out after the match last week. After that was a segment of Kenzo Suzuki watching Torrie Wilson on a monitor while his Hiroko was telling him about Thanksgiving. When she asked Kenzo what part of the turkey he wanted, he said he wanted some Breasts. Then there was a Bradshaw promo. He basically put down Indians and talked about how affirmitive action doesnt work. That was follows by a Rey Jr Promo with RVD talking about their tag title shot. Match 2: Rob Van Dam over Kenzo Suzuki via DQ after Kenzo used Hiroko's scarf to choke RVD out. Torrie was the ring announcer and after the match, Kenzo went after her and RVD made the save. Next was a Big Show Thanksgiving segment. He talked about how he ate his parents out of house and home and how his favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Show invited everyone (Tazzzzz,Cole,Chimel etc) to the ring for a feast. Luther came out, pied that Diva Search chick and then there was a foodfight like every Thanksgiving. The Diva Search chick hit Show in the face with the pie to end the segment. Match 3: Kurt Angle over Cody Steele. This was part of Kurt's invitational challenge. Steele said he was from Rochester, but a "Liar" chant rang out because we know he's from the Niagara Falls, Ontario area. Angle beat him with the ankle lock. Everyone thought it would be local favorite and Tough Enough winner Matt Cappotelli that was going to challenge Kurt. No dice though. A video then aired talking about how WWE went to Iraq during the holidays last year and to support the troops. Then the video said that they'd be returning back again this year during the holidays. Good for them, pretty classy. Match 4: Dawn Marie and Miss Jackie went to a no contest in some Thanksgiving costume gimmick type of match. Charlie Haas had to seperate the two of them after the match was thrown out. Main Event Match 5: JBL & Orlando Jordan over Booker T & Eddy Guerrero after interference from who (I believe) were the Dudley Boyz or the Basham Brothers. It was hard to tell cause they were wearing masks and then did the reveal, so don't quote me on that. After the Match, the gong rang and the arena went dark. Out came the Undertaker to take out JBL and Orlando. Weeeee! No Cena this week, which wasnt a suprise. I'd say most of the hard camera side was tarped off and the crowd was clumped together so it should look good on TV. Other than that, it wasnt a bad show since I got in free and all. Free wrestling is good wrestling! Biggest Pops (in no order): Puder RVD Eddy Rey Jr

Jarrett vs. Monty on free TV... Way to go TNA.

Found this in an old Alex Marvez column from 1996, and it was so weird I decided to put it here: ""Blood Runs Cold" will be a trio of Ninjas in the style of Mortal Kombat. One of the three will be former WWF star Adam Bomb." Bryan Clarke as a ninja?

Oh, I also hope this thread shows everybody how full of shit Scott Keith is. Borga was not supposed to be in the WM10 main event, Steve Austin was not originally scheduled to win the title at Final Four (at least according to Meltzer), and plenty else he says is false. Don't believe him.

I really thought that snapped ankle finish was supposed to be for WM. My fault. I found a tidbit looking through some old stuff about a tag team set to debut in the WWF in 95/96 called Assault and Battery. Does anyone know who they were/were supposed to be?

I read that too, but it was Scott Keith who said it. If that was the case, they didn't plan it for long, or else there was no way Luger would beat Borga clean at Survivor Series 93. Also, Yokozuna had the title at the Royal Rumble, so it would have had to go from a heel to a heel by Wrestlemania time. I really don't believe it, but I could be wrong.

Actually no it was supposed to be Bret vs HBK rematch, with Bret going over. Can't remember where I read it but the HBK/Bret rematch was supposed to be at WM 13. Shawn bailed, the double turn happened instead and from that point, Bret vs. Austin was in the books for WM 14 where Austin could finally go over. According to Meltzer, the original plan for WM 13 was for Bret to beat HBK by catching him trying the sweet chin music and "breaking his ankle" with a gimmicked boot. Of course HBK lost his smile so that never happened. Around the time of the Survivor Series screw job, they were planning out what to do with Bret if he stuck around until Wrestlemania. The plan they had was for Bret to beat HBK at Survivor Series, and then for HBK to win the title in a four way at the December PPV (Degeneration-X) that included Undertaker and Shamrock. HBK would beat Bret in a ladder match at the Royal Rumble. The next night, Bret would come out and make one last challenge to HBK, putting his career on the line, and beat him for the belt. Then Bret would drop the title to Austin at Wrestlemania.

WRESTLER OF THE YEAR Chris Benoit -HHH a close second, I think. TAG TEAM OF THE YEAR Others -Rey Misterio and RVD get it for me, they've had more good tag matches than anybody. Bad year for tag teams though. NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR Gene Snitsky -Snitsky is going to get a huge push. MOST IMPROVED WRESTLER John Bradshaw Layfield -This is a hard one to pick, but JBL, even though he's still only average, has probably improved more than others on the list. FINISHER OF THE YEAR Randy Orton’s RKO -It's the only thing about him that gets a pop. ANGLE OF THE YEAR Other -Orton/Foley, if it counts as an angle and a feud too. FEUD OF THE YEAR Mick Foley vs Randy Orton MATCH OF THE YEAR Triple H vs Chris Benoit vs Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania XX) -Surprised that Eddie vs. Lesnar isn't on here. TV MATCH OF THE YEAR Chris Jericho vs Christian (Steel Cage Match) (Monday Night RAW – May 2004) -I loved this match. PAY-PER-VIEW OF THE YEAR Wrestlemania XX -Backlash is a close second, and should be on the list.

The original plan for KOTR 1997 was Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels with all Hart Foundation members chained outside to a the ring posts. If Bret lost, he wouldn't wrestle in America again, so I guess this was when Bret was to get his job back. But Bret was hurt, so they changed it to HBK vs. Austin instead. Plans in 1999 were to have a "Gates of Hell" match at Summerslam, with either Rock vs. Taker or Big Show vs. Taker. The match was to have an opening in the center of the ring that would open every minute or two, and you'd have to shove your opponent into the pits of fire to win. Test was originally booked to beat HHH for the title on RAW in 1999, but Vince changed his mind at the last minute and had HHH retain.

And of course Russo booking meant that they had Austin vs. Big Show a few weeks after he debuted, at the show before WM 15.

Franky is a great promo man. I've only seen him wrestle one match before (as I've only seen one IWS tape before), but he can cut awesome promos and has a good look, so good for him. Kind of surprised Steen lost the belt, but maybe he's leaving? Didn't he have an OVW tryout a while back?

I think we can all agree that Connie Chung would be the perfect replacement.

That's awesome. I want to see Blitzkrieg face Evans if at all possible...of course I can't go live, but hopefully can see it on tape.

I can see the title going to Aries, but not on 12/26. Maybe at the 2nd anniversary show or later in a rematch. Joe still has a few fresh title defenses they might as well get through before he drops it. (Corino, Shelley, Nigel, etc)

It'll be HHH vs. Orton at WM. End of story.

Okay if 20 guys in the ring can't put HHH over the top rope I'm going to be pretty pissed at the stupid booking. HHH HAS to lose the title next week and then win it back at New Year's Revolution. Anything else at this point would just be retarded.
