Hunter's Torn Quad

Whether he works in the role or not, it might be an idea to give Afa Jr. a wardrobe that doesn't make him look like an Indy version of Umaga.

WIA History of the WCW Six-Man tag tam titles They were around for around nine months. The six-man belts were very minor and never meant anything, so no real thought was put into them. The last trio to hold them were the York Foundation (a criminally underrated stable), and the belts were vacated when the Foundation broke up. It was for the better, as WCW had the World, US, World tag, US tag, TV and Light Heavyweight titles already; another one was overkill.

That made Punk seem even more of an afterthought. The World champion of the brand gets laid out, and we see nothing more of him the rest of the night. After Adamle said Punk might not be able to make it, did they even give an update on Punk's condition?

I think WCW, Jim Herd specifically, were so frustrated with how the contract negotiations were going, that they didn't care anymore.

I'm not necessarily against HHH retaining his title, but if that was the plan all along, did they really have to make MVP, Shelton Benjamin and TBK look like geeks on Smackdown and again during the Scramble? At no point in the build up to the match or during the match itself were any of them made to look like any kind of threat to HHH or that they should be taken seriously. Jeff Hardy got off kind of lightly. As for Punk, he did come across as weak by not coming out for the main event. Jericho took a far more severe beating, but he was able to come out. I think Punk may have been the first babyface champion to get laid out before his match, the main event on the PPV no less, and not get to make the heroic comeback to either win against the odds or be screwed by the heel.

That would be Mike Bell in THIS match: http://www.wrestlinggonewrong.com/video/sa...bell_match.html Different match. I forget the guys name, but as evilhomer said, he wanted to get in offense during the match but and Saturn had other ideas.

Flair was going to drop the belt to Luger at the Bash. During the contract problems between Flair and Jim Herd, the plan was changed to Flair dropping the belt to Windham at a TV taping in Macon, GA, and then Windham would lose the title to Luger at the Bash. I think the Windham idea was put in place when WCW felt it was better to not even have the Flair vs. Luger match and to try and hasten Flair's departure.

If HHH isn't losing the title tonight, then how he treated MVP, Benjamin and TBK on Smackdown was pointless and made all three look like geeks. The way HHH was so cocksure on Smackdown seems to be setting up for him getting screwed out of the belt, possibly thanks to Khali.

Given the thought that went into booking Unforgiven, it's clear that WWE considers it throwaway.

PG-13. I kept expecting them to be picked up some point, but they never did. Not even in the scramble round.

Correct on both counts. The Race win over Flair is on a Flair compilation entitled Ric Flair: Legend. It's available from the usual places.

There's a tag team that didn't get drafted that I was surprised to see left out, especially considering some of the promotional styles portrayed by some people.

It's happening as the semi-main to Nogueira vs. Mir. Dana White announced at the post-show press conference that Evans gets the first crack at Griffin.

What more can you say? A highlight reel KO that nobody, especially Chuck, saw coming. Wow.

Holy Shit!!!

I hope Rashad doesn't look as out of his league as Hamil did. I don't think he'll win, but I at least hope he puts in a good showing.

They're not the best matches in the world, but perfectly acceptable fare.

Franklin is totally outclassing Hamil. Hamil deserves credit for hanging in there, but he's way out of his league and it shows.

Hamil looked totally unwilling to press the action, and it's costing him. Franklin is more aggressive, has better striking, and looks on course to knock Hamil out or win by TKO. I don't see this going the distance.

An uninspiring third round, but Henderson should have done enough to get the decision win.

Palhares had Henderson in trouble, but Henderson was able to fight out of the hold. I think that might be enough to give Palhares this round with the judges.

Palhares didn't have any answer for Henderson's aggression and pace until right at the end. This could end by KO if Palhares isn't careful.

Nate looked really good and aggressive out there. Still think Silva will handle him, but it looks like it would be a little bit more of a challenge.
