Hawk 34

Jake Hager is now Jack Swagger. That's such a cheesy name, it's perfect.

I take back my comment about Noble. Replace him with Paul Burchil.

Kingston and Noble. I won't include SD guys since they aren't attached to ECW anymore, otherwise, include TBK.

Jackson is a great actor, why would you doubt his ability to do good stuff with good material? Anyways, lived up to the relative hype but hopefully they stay on track which tends to be a issue with these types of shows.

For what it's worth, John Cena will never look better. He will come off as seriously legit. Oh yeah, just wait until you see what I do with Balls Mahoney with Arnold Skaaland. Balls at his best.

He'll be back next week. That's one show.

Championship rematch clause and Adamle wants no interference which means it'll end with a huge brawl.

During his last title reign. I can't remember what it says. The rose represents his daughter, right?

Absolute burial. He won't even be on the show!

This might have been addressed already but are the GU patches just for opening week or for the entire season?

Afa Jr. looks like he is already plugged as the bruiser. It would seem as if DH Smith would be more logical then Primo, especially since DH has a bigger family history in WWE lore, while Pedro Colon wasn't and that seems to be the point with these guys. It's slighty annoying that they'll probably refer to themselves as second generation stars despite Randy and Dibiase being 3rd generation.

You can probably expect Punk to have a band-aid on his forehead tonight and a little bruise makeup but nothing to indicate severe injuries. He'll also have taped ribs for good measure.

Well keep in mind Jericho is like 36/37/38, Shawn is almost 45. One would think the dude who's younger, had a 2 year layoff not too long ago, and has more "meat" on him would recover faster than the older guy who's always banged up and looks like a skinny geek. Let's keep in mind that Jericho did NOTHING in the match. He took a full minute to get to the ring and as soon as he entered, he took a spear from Batista and rolled out to the floor until the last 10 seconds. It's not as if Jericho was hopping around the ring during the match doing lionsaults. Were you trying to refute my point or add to it? Adding. People are trying to say that there was no way Jericho should've come back from such a vicious beating but he really didn't. He never showed signs of fast healing powers and the only true physical movement he made was rolling into the ring onto a laid out Kane.

If that's the case and we get a Team Michaels vs. Team Jericho Survivor Series match, I'm down for that. Team Michaels: HBK, Punk, Mysterio, Kingston vs. Team Jericho: Jericho, Cade, Batista, Orton? I think naturally, judging from the Batista-Michaels storyline, that somehow, some way, Jericho and Batista have to align, to take out the trash they call Michaels. Orton wll have his own 3G Stable by the time SS comes around, so aligning with Jericho isn't probable. I wouldn't try to think 2 months in advance with this storyline progression. Luckily, they have alot of viable alternatives but expect either the safe route or the worst possible outcome.

I think the scramble will be a fine match for a #1 contender shot on TV or a mid-card title match in the future which is exactly what the ECW Scramble and that was a fun match with a interesting non-bullshit finish that the crowd was into. It shouldn't be used for the two World Titles.

Afa Jr. doesn't really fit the apparent image of the 3G stable but they will need some form of an enforcer and he was probably the best option of those available. It was slightly odd to see someone doing the crazy samoan gimmick and speaking good english. They don't often do that.

Adamle seems to favor former world champions. Shawn was too elated about his new-found vicious streak and Jericho was there, so he got the spot. I don't remember Jericho doing anything at all except get knocked down as soon as he came in until he crawled in at the last second.

I would have felt the same way if TBK would have won the WWE Championship. Then again, after seeing the Browns get thrashed, I'd have been pissed knowing I spent $50+ to go. I spent the first quarter or so of the Browns game swearing at the TV, but when it became painfully obvious they were in way over their heads, I couldn't even get upset anymore... up until they kicked a field goal trailing by 21 points with 10 minutes left. Dumbasses. Anyway, kinda hard to tell watching the stream, but I'm wondering how many people they actually had at the PPV tonight. Looked full. Probably 12-14k.

The title is vacant. No, it's not. I meant that's probably what they'll claim after the match is over. Doesn't matter now, Kane gets a pin fall.

The title is vacant.

This beatdown took way too long.

He was never in the battle royal.

I thought DH Smith or Eddie Colon would've joined before Afa Jr. Afa doesn't really fit the group.

Doesn't mean ECW title either, but hey, let's move on. I never said the ECW was something special either. I just said in WWE land, that belt is supposed to be in the same prestige as the Raw and SD titles (ie "major titles"), I was just speaking in a different context. So who the fuck is the new guy with Priceless? He looks like a bad version of Umaga mixed with Ricky Ortiz. Afa Jr.
