Slickster

Well, you needed Dreamer and Funk for the historical connection. Plus, RVD's going to be pretty busy at ONS already. I think the bigger story is that the WWE Hardcore Championship has been reactivated after a four-year absence.

God, Funk can barely move.

Edge wins the WWE Hardcore Championship!

Basically he will do the exact same angle he did a year ago? I'd have him simply be jealous of Rey's successes since January (the Rumble win, the World title), feeling that Rey left him behind in the selfish pursuit of glory. I could see Chavo turning on Rey at the GAB to set up -Booker vs. Batista -Rey vs. Chavo at SummerSlam.

Good, Kurt gets another month or two to go home and recharge.

"JBL, you sick bastard!"

What's the matter? Hate to be proven wrong?

WWE has acknowledged that they are the same title, even going so far as to list the champions back to 1975 on WWE.com.

Actually, JBL got his facts wrong. Lex Luger, Goldberg, and Booker T all won the World Title as US Champions.

Watched the video for Chamillionaire's new single 'Ridin'' and I notice it's got some pro wrestling segments in it (rappers getting slammed by this jacked guy). I look closer and....it's ZEUS! himself, Tiny Lister. This video is a markout moment, especially since Lister does the Zeus signature moves (the 'pound-the-chest' taunt, the double throat chop) on like 10 rappers. Seriously, check it out and laugh your ass off at the Wrestlecrap that has suddenly come back.

Brother Ray cuts one hell of a promo, I'll give him that.

See, that segment is emblematic of TNA's TV problems: 1) Scott Steiner comes out to talk about the KotM match. 2) Joe and Steiner stare down. 3) Joe shows he's a tank with legs. 4) The Naturals reform. 5) Shane Douglas comes out to scout The Naturals. That's FIVE angles in one segment. How can a new fan follow along with so much stuff going on in every segment.

TNA is too big to slip under the radar and use real music like ECW did. Oh, and the lack of a World X Cup celebration is another example of how TNA TV moves too fucking fast.

I like how Don West looks like he should be carrying a tommy gun.

That's what I was thinking, and now we know why. Nash has gotta start "working with" the X Division guys. Or, Sabin's teammates were locked out of the arena (remember the start of this match)?

Larry Z's office has dogs playing poker in the background. That's awesome.

My God, Monty Brown is JACKED.

Kane's movie drops May 19. I think JBL will lose due to the return of Batista, which will provide a distraction allowing Rey to capitalize and score the pinfall. Also, Booker T will beat Lashley to win KOTR. Then, you have Rey drop the belt to Booker T on SmackDown, setting up Booker T vs. Bobby Lashley JBL vs. Batista as feuds on the road to The Great American Bash.

When you use five letters to abbreviate your promotion, you know you won't last long. I assume this was IWCCW, a New Jersey promotion from the mid-1990s.

Ha, the SciFi.com boards are being spammed by an ECW mutant warning 'geeks and nerds' of the oncoming 'ECW invasion.'

If you check out the Sci-Fi Channel programming guide, you'll notice that starting on June 13, every Tuesday night has a 1-hour 'TBD' timeslot from 10pm to 11pm EST. Perhaps that will be the ECW timeslot?

And to think they just paid Shadows Fall to redo RVD's music.

This is how I would have booked The Great Khali's introduction. 1) April 7 edition of SmackDown!: Daivari comes out alone and talks up "The Great Khali," implying that it he's talking about himself. Make statements about how Khali has beaten Bengal tigers, KO'd elephants, cured cancer, etc. 2) April 14 and 21 editions of SmackDown!: Daivari continues to cut promos about the awesomeness of Khali. Daivari is a heat machine, so he'll get booed by fans and shushed by Cole/Tazz. It's implied Daivari is talking about himself. 3) April 28: Daivari's diatribe is interrupted by Paul Burchill, who (in pirate talk) challenges The Great Khali to a match, shocking Daivari. 4) May 5: Daivari comes out after a Burchill victory to show him a video on the tron. The video shows Daivari supposedly flying to India to talk with Khali. We see Khali's shadow as Daivari tells him about the challenge and hands the contract up to him. Khali's ginormous arm comes into the frame as he takes the contract and signs it. Announcers are unsure if it's a camera trick or a guy on a stepladder. 5) May 14 (Judgment Day): Paul Burchill enters first, looking a bit anxious. Khali's music hits and out comes a goddamn menagerie. I'm talking tigers and elephants, with one pulling a cart with Khali standing in it. Khali's dressed like The Sultan, only in powder blue. Also, he needs to wear a mask so we don't know he was in that Adam Sandler movie. Anyway, Paul Burchill gets his ass handed to him for 4 minutes before losing via pinfall. Then, Khali beats the shit out of Burchill for 4 minutes after the bell, putting Burchill through a table, hitting him with the ring steps, etc. Burchill bleeds profusely and does a stretcher job. Any thoughts on this idea?

any feedback on my idea?
