Dark Age

He did it on his debut.

What? That was Matt, actually. Really cool spot which he should start using again. For me, it was Kane coming off the top of the cage at Armageddon 99'. Pretty crazy seeing that live.

Oh God. I doubt this is true, but if it is, then doesn't that mean Bradshaw needs to win the belt at GAB for it to continue? God help us all.

Are they planning to run an angle with you or anything, JAxl?

Is it the X-Title match, or the one where Red won?

I miss Brock. And Kurt Angle THE WRESTLER. And Benoit. And Edge. And Hardy. And a semi-decent cruiserweight division. I hate this show.

Are you talking to me?

Fuck Bradshaw? Why, he could be reading this right now. How do you think he feels? I'm sorry, but criticising is one thing. But FUCK BRADHSAW? YOU ARE AN EVIL PERSON!

Be nice to Bradshaw. He's a person too, ya know?

Yes. CHRISTIAN RULEZ DOOD!

Glennsoe just made a typo in the title. Someone carried it on, so huzzah. I think it was just making fun of Glenn (sorry dude) but I could be wrong.

I told you all this a couple of weeks ago, so I guess Coach was telling the truth. Oh well, looks like Christian has lost his best chance at a World Title Match.

Hell In A Cell Match: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels Prediction: Triple H Match Rating: ****ish IF they go all out World Heavyweight Championship Chris Benoit vs Kane Prediction: Chris Benoit Match Rating: Depends. I think they WILL pull it off and get a good match out of this, but Kane needs to be game, and Benoit is going to have to do alot of work. Hopefully ***ish Intercontinental Championship Randy Orton vs Shelton Benjamin Prediction: Randy Orton Match Rating: ** - *** at best. The matches between these two will get better as they go along I think. World Tag Team Championship Rob Conway and Sylvain Grenier vs Chris Benoit and Edge Prediction: Rob Conway and Sylvain Grenier Match Rating: **1/2 - *** Womens Championship Victoria vs Trish vs Gail Kim vs Lita Prediction: Trish Match Rating: DUD - * Chris Jericho vs Tyson Tomko Prediction: Chris Jericho Match Rating: DUD (Tomko is horrible) Eugene Dinsmore vs Jonathan Coachman Prediction: Eugene Dinsmore Match Rating: * at best, but the match quality doesn't really matter here.

Yeah, it was. I don't blame them for the way that match turned out. As you say, Kane was injured, the match was rushed, the crowd was burnt out, and it was booked terribly. Hopefully, with about 20-25 minutes, they can pull of something good. You could tell that there was some story squashed in there, but due to the shortness of the match it just came off really bad. Like the double headbutt spot, and Benoit's reversing the chokeslam. With a longer match I'm sure they could actually build to these and make them mean something, rather than just what I got to see at the HS, that being a poor, un-organised mess.

The Vengeance card had alot more potential going in to the show, however. Benoit vs Eddie, the Tag Title match and the Main Event all had the potential to be good-very good when looking at the card. What does this show have? Another Eddie/Bradshaw match with a gimmick that's proven to be terrible over the years? Cena vs Booker? They seem like the two best matches on the card, which is kind of sad really. I have no interest what so ever in this pay per view. *Purchases Pay Per View*

Where in the hell did you hear Mordecai was a good worker? Anyway, thank God they aren't putting Kane over Meniot. The match they had at the house show I went to wasn't one of the 'great ones' they supposedly had at other shows, but I have in Chris to pull it off. COME ON MENOIT!

To be honest, I don't think it can even be classified as a 'feud'. It's been announced Kane will challenge Benoit. And that is about as far as it goes.

But as long as the match as good, it doesn't matter how much the feud sucks. Right? RIGHT?

What the hell are you talking about? 'He leaves you the option of wondering about it'. ITS A FRIGGIN' LOGO.

I side with Deon on this, seen as though RRR called him a dumbass first. Guy from crowd: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!? Erm..... but yeah, Kane hasn't done anything to be considered a 'top contender'. It was so built for Jericho considering he had just won the big blow off in his feud with Christian.

Yeesh, Orton vs Shawn AGAIN. I seems they can't go a few weeks without having one of these guys pin the other. No doubt a DQ/NC here. Shelton/Batista doesn't really interest me, but I like Shelton and Batista has improved alot, so huzzah.

I'm not saying heat isn't a facor. I'm saying it's not the only factor. Yes, JBL does have more heat than Booker at the moment. However, he has gained all of this heat in the last 2 months after being forced down our throats. I believe that if they used Booker in a similar way (top contender, feuding with Eddie, being a real heel not some voodoo dude) that he would have as much heat as Bradshaw in less time. Plus, Booker would have an actual good match to back it up with at the end of the feud. No way does JBL have a better moveset. Only moves I can think of are the CLFH and the Fallaway Slam. He busted out a turnbuckle powerbomb and torture rack once or twice but that's about it. Booker's moveset has gotten real stale lately (like Booker in general) but he can still bust out some good stuff. The Houston Hangover and Book End own anything Bradshaw does. Bradshaw has a better character, but he has established that character in 2 months. Booker could so easily do the same if put in a similar position. Whereas Bradshaw is playing a new character entirely from the drunken redneck he has played for the last 4 1/2 years, Booker has been stuck in the same character even since he arrived in the company. He's just acting bad now. No actual difference to the face Booker, except this one cheats and is alot more boring. Booker isn't a great promo guy, but he isn't bad either. Give him something to say out there and he will be okay. As it is, all he says at the moment is 'I'm not afraid of you Taker'. JBL is pretty strong (compared to SD roster) in his speaking, so I'm not going to argue with you much about that. I'm not going to argue with you about Bradshaw's stiffness witht the clothesline, but again it's just one move. Having a good finisher does not a good wrestler make. Booker's Houston Hangover would be fine, but it would probably get a face pop. Just let him use the Book End, that's a good enough finish.

So heat determines who is a better performer? By that logic, JBL is better than London, Noble, Nunzio, etc.

Well being from Canada has not affected Jericho or Benoit's reactions throughout their stay in the WWE. Why would it now? I, personally, haven't noticed any change in the reaction to these guys, since changing, whatsoever, so what the hell was the point?

I don't think he will, but I think he should. That's what I meant to say. I actually wouldn't be THAT shocked if Benoit did beat H at SummerSlam, but then lost at Unforgiven (or No Mercy).
