Zack Malibu

Hardyz vs. any team out of NAO, AMW or The Outsiders. Too bad Triple X is no more, because that would have been the best money tag match they could do, IMO. Matt and Daniels to carry the workload, Skipper to keep up a good pace, and Jeff to hit all his highspots would have been awesome. Matt Hardy vs. Jeff Jarrett for the NWA Title IMO is a money match. They can hopefully salvage the shitty Brown turn by having him constantly remind JJ "you owe me one". JJ can blow it off, blow it off, until finally Brown confronts him and says no more waiting, it's time for JJ to pay up. JJ will get scared and try to pussy out, then bring in Rhino as his muscle to take out Brown (my only fear is that if they brought Rhino in, he'd get babyface cheers). Have Brown then fight through Rhino, Gunn, and maybe Abyss again before finally getting his hands on JJ and getting the big win. A little bit o' fantasy booking on my part, but it could work.

All for the Styles push, as well as the rehiring of Dutt. Candido is entertaining enough and busting his ass enough that I'd keep him around, even without Dusty in power. I hate the all-cage matches idea, because you're taking away the oldest, most reliable feud-blowoff stipulation and watering it down. I'd like to see the occasional cage match, rather than a once a year all cage show. I pray they get Spike. The Monday Night Wars are greatly missed.

First Ever Major Singles Bout Super Huge Grudge Match of DOOM~! Dan Black vs. Zack Malibu

You know, given that I've been working two jobs for a while and finally had them catch up to me, I haven't been posting as much as I'd like. I was going to dig up the old thread today to give my recent thoughts, but I'll put them here unless/until a mod merges the topics for us. I still tape every week, and last night I missed because I went out. I did wind up catching the last few minutes but need to see the ep as a whole. I agree the shows have gotten better with Trey's arrival, the rebuilding of the Ryan/Marissa relationship, and the disappearance of the "clutter characters" as I like to call them taking up the screen time, which made for some desperate TV attempts IMO (Sandy's affair, Marissa's foray into lesbianism). The stories have made sense and developed well, but for a few weeks it just felt like they were trying out new things for the sake of it, rather than go with the flow.

No, I mean Zack Malibu vs. Toxxic. Not Todd Cortez vs. Toxxic.

Well then take the character off TV and then repackage him. I suggest turning him into a Hog Farmer from Georgia that has a love for square dancing at the annual County Fairs. Popick Godwinn?

Unify them with the X Title.

Zack Malibu vs. Toxxic would be an awesome match.

YES~! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. And seeing as how the Blondes are my favorite tag team ever, it's no wonder I've become a huge MNM fan thanks to OVW. For the first time in a LONG time, I went out of my way to watch/tape Smackdown.

Hey now, I made that OAOAST Title what it is.

I go along with the MST3K and USA High nominations. Hang Time, California Dreams, Swan's Crossing, Shasta McNasty and Herman's Head...those are just off the top of my head. I'm also nominating shows that probably won't see the light of day on DVD for a loooong time, if ever.

Slightly off-topic, but SK actually made a good point in a recent TNA review. Stick 3LK, Gunn, Waltman and The Outsiders all together in one mega-group and make a mint off the merchandising.

Got news for ya Sparky, Masters was NOT hyped to hell. First off, he was in a tag team (The Troubleshooters) in OVW, and was not working singles. Everyone from the smarks to the critics to Cornette and co. said he wouldn't be ready for prime time for a while, but it was his look and size that got him the call-up so soon. His weakenesses have always been realized and discussed before they stuck him on our television sets. The best thing about Masters on OVW were the heckling chants of "Steroids" during his matches.

MNM? FUCK YEAH! On Smackdown...shit...I hope this segment comes on after The OC ends. Still...MNM! FUCK YEAH! The OVW mark in me is crying sweet tears of joy.

Jarrett losing the belt would be a smark-friendly, shoot style scenario in which AJ Styles confronts Jeff about hogging the spotlight. "It might be your world, but it's MY time" says AJ, before he and Jeff go on to have a feud climaxing in Jarrett's defeat. Run-in's would make SENSE. Brown would get the Tazz push (legitimate athletic credentials, known badass=indestructible). Raven and Daniels would combine in a cult-like stable. With Heyman aboard, Raven would also have a hand in booking. Bring back Father James Mitchell. Old timers would be used to elevate younger talent (re: Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes putting over Steve Corino, etc.) instead of battling against each other at the top of the card. Cut back on the shitty, unover guys. Rehab the guys that can work and have been jobbed out to oblivion (David Young, Jimmy Rave, Lex Lovett). Stipulations would be built to, not tossed out for no reason. Petey Williams goes babyface to feud with Bobby Roode.

I am in no way, shape or form a Waltman supporter, but the man is pretty damn over in Universal. He got two of the biggest pops on the two run-ins he did at the PPV's.

With Matt there is a TON you can do with him. Push him to the moon as a solo, have him go over Jarrett. Hardy Boyz vs. America's Most Wanted, or the Attitude Era "dream matches" vs. The Outlaws or The Outsiders (if Hall ever gets in shape again). Matt Hardy vs. AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, etc. etc. etc. Rhyno I could see being brought in on JJ's side. Have Brown constantly remind JJ that he "owes him one", with JJ fearing that Brown will want to cash in and challenge him soon. Rhyno shows up, gores the hell out of Brown, and is used as JJ's personal monster against a newly babyface Monty Brown. Rhyno vs. Abyss would also be cool, and I'd love to see a rematch of the best Hardcore Title match in WWE history, Raven vs. Rhyno.

You say that like I do it intentionally.

Screech was an administrative assistant. I'm a teacher's assistant.

All I've heard from sources is that it's going to be "very similar to the Word Life US Belt", so that's how I made the assumption. I haven't started anything on replicas yet, have to wait for the actual model to debut.

It's going to be a spinner belt again.

Awesome From Alix sniffing rubber cement to the Asia Man dressed as The Godfather all the way to the hot tag where we saw all the way to the end it was a great and fun match to read. Alix screaming out that she's CooCoo for CocoPuffs while getting all full of adrenaline was great and so was the name of that finisher. Patty is super-dee-dooper Only the 6 Man left and to my knowledge only people involved in that affair to feedback are Tony and Eski. That's pretty sad guys Yes well in two weeks when I'm back down to one job again and done with classes, I'll feedback. Yes folks, you read that right. Back to one job. Realizing it was killing me to even try and continue to juggle two jobs and college, I have resigned (for the time being) as a teacher.

Fuck frat boys. 99.9% of them are posers living off mommy and daddy's dime anyways.

I'm down. Come on over folks!

So what's on the agenda for entertainment tonight? Karaoke? Strip show? Agnes jokes? Oh, and whiskey sour to start me off, kthx.
