Bruce Blank

none the less that is a term that's applied to taking some time off, to rest, relax and focus on other things than work/wrestling/whatever you got. Vacation implies that he's taking off 3 weeks to go to Aruba or whatever.

Holy shit See that's why you shouldn't let jet lagged people write matches, I can't believe I wrote the wrong dang guy in the match. Sorry man

Well what did we learn today?: Smackdown by the numbers Opening promo 1) Michael Stephens needs to use the word ”Fah-bu-lous” more in his promos 2) Stephens is a sad panda over the actions of Mike Van Siclen & Tom Flesher 3) Poor little Michael 4) The Grappler is apparently Flesher’s bitch and as such not worthy of much attention. 5) Landon has turned to the Dark side of the force (as opposed to the Dork side of the force he’s been wallowing in for a long time) 6) He still won’t face Landon (yeah, yeah it’ll never EEEEEEEEEVER happen agaain!) IL/Flesher 1) I’m glad I rechecked because first time I read it the match wasn’t there 2) whomever James Matheson is he’s got a man-crush on Flesher 3) Flesher needs to wear scaly spandex and speak with a lisp to really sell the “King Cobra” *thumbs up* 4) Short match, IL is probably still suffering the ill effects of Pandemonium Ced segment 1) Ced speaks!! *Marks out* 2) Ced wrestles. . . later tonight *Unmarks* Bruce Blank & Bloodshed Vs Stryke & Christian Fury So what did we learn here? 1) That Jetlag is a bitch 2) That Bruce & Bloodshed actually have more teaming experience than the current tag-team champions (stemming from their OAOAST angle netting them the 6 man tag titles and have teamed there 2 times. . . leading Jones & Jenkins by 2) 3) That I don’t comment on my own match quality Spike Vs Amy Vs Manson: Hardcore title 1) Brilliant move to make it a “pre-taped” segment *thumbs up* 2) This is probably Amy’s last match (with no “two character” rule in place and all) 3) Spike is the King of Cambodiaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! 4) Oh yeah and the new Hardcore Gamer’s champion too Michael Stephens Segment part deux. I’ll cut to the chase here 1) Michael Stephens/Landon – they’re finally getting a room, erm I mean it’s ON SUCKA!! At 13th hour!!! (Blind man in the 27nd row didn’t see it coming, yeah the guy behind the colum, that’s the one) Grendel Vs Hawke 1) That 987 degree twisting moonman split legged Fire Assault Splash driver RULEZ!! Ced Vs Mike Myers 1) It looked like one of the two would actually win a match in 2006 2) Austin Sly proved them wrong (thankfully) 3) Sly amz back from London JJ / Sean Davis 1) Wow a Lariat 2) Wow another lariat 3) A series of lariats is apparently called a “Hansen of Lariats” Stephens segment part. . . oh lord I lost count 1) The 13th hour match will be for the world title (Makes me wonder if Mike write for Marvel Comics?) Zyon Vs Landon I’ll boil it down to one thing, this match proved one thing to me and hopefully a lot of others 1) Zyon has unlimited potential and WILL go far

That's what I'm thinking too, at least this way we only see Khali & Henry once a week, not twice

You say it like it's that hard to do

Well I showed her my enormous package. . . of pasteries and yes as much as it pains me to admit I am 33

Tag match rule: Oh lord time to put the thinking hat on Oh and Flesher/Grendel - wasn't Grendel one of the guys that beat GM V2.0 and Flesher promised revenge against him when he returned? I just figured that the full story should be added to a match you may have booked slightly at random

Could this be the secret reason behind me marrying an American woman instead of a Danish woman?. . . hmmmmmmmm

*Yellow flag* There is a pentalty on the play - extremly lame joke on the side of Tom Flesher, 10 yard penalty, not allowed to attempt any jokes for 2 weeks. *Groan*

Actually with the brand split there is generally more than 4 weeks between each brand's PPV (since they alternate) - giving them MORE time to work on angles (if they'd bother) going back to 12 would usually give them LESS time to build angles so you're actually effectivly arguing against the split there

Yes good luck with that lawsuit claydude: "You can't call it that because 6 of us used that name when we jumped around our backyard" Vince: "I'm sorry why aren't you washing my windscreen boy?" /end of story

He is Scandinavian, it was just some Englishman who sat down and put quill to parchment to capture the story for prosperity but it is/was from Scandinavian lore.

I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!! and yes as you can probably tell I had some time to bring the work rate this week for some non-match stuff Unlike 90% of the show, that's disappointing. Old names, old names and more old names *thumbs up* that can't be bad though, I see 4 returns in my absense which is awesome.

I guess the fact that they were building JBL Vs Rey back then didn't enter your mind? come on now it's not rocket science.

Cause back then he was hungry and JBL promised to feed him?? Maybe it's the fact that he's beaten the champion TWICE that in his mind makes him the defacto world champion. Here is an idea - before you question why he did this or that, watch it on TV to see how it's played off since the spoilers aren't clear on that matter.

Is it really that hard to figure out? He beats the champ - in his mind that makes him the new champion, even if the title isn't on the line. so Henry has the title and the bragging rights = World Title Rematch with a little added twist beyond "I pinned him in a non-title match" I hope they go all out with this and have Henry run around like he IS the champion, celebrate, defend it and everything - just off in his own little makebelieve world and Booker T is the king of the ring, he really should be above the US title, Lashely is still a "monster under construction" and a good hard hitting run as the US champ could help elevate him. After all he's not main event level yet, US is perfect for him.

1) it's called "WWE booking logic" on the whole Lashley / US title thing and honestly I thought it was one of the few good things on the show. 2) It was never stated that Mark Henry won the title or that the match was for the title or anything 3) They could also be fake results.

Meh he's tried to knock it my block off once before so I'm not that worried and breakdancing is NOT interpretive dancing unless the story you're telling is "I'm having a seizure"

So, would this mean that ECW's going to have a few spotfests on hand? That's what these 2 do. I'd love it if ECW brought in a few of the talented tag-teams out there - the Brisco Brothers spring to mind as another posibility. Maximos is a good start, yes they're spotty but honestly how many Cruisers in American aren't? (Rhetorical don't start rattling off names please)

Man you should have stayed a mute - then we'd have the first ever "Interpretive dancing" opening promo

Yikes! From a guy that's been married five and a half years now I gotta say "it's all about finding the right woman" - it's got everything to do with the people involved and nothing to do with the concept of marriage. My advice is to "UCHA" or "Uncover her ass" and as much as possible running around naked at home is the secret to marital bliss after all. I know I'm late and all (and I assume she didn't run out on you) but congratulations anyways

You know if I had know Aecas was comming back I wouldn't have used the scythe. . . who am I kidding of course I would have Congratulations to the new International champion, after being tattooed to Jay Hawke's waist for over 200 days it's having a hard time settling down in one place. I like

LOL and in OAOAST they're more like "Team SWF" - oh the irony

LOL a ring? Boy you're in the wrong division then for such snobbish wishes as an actual wrestling ring

I don't think so - Andre was in the WWF when Taker was first breaking in and when Taker went to the WWF Andre had retired and only showed up to support the Bushwackers against the Natural Disasters if I I'm not mistaken.
