Hawk 34

I'm just saying you guys rushed to call the Cena cover "gay" while the more flamboyant cover was right on top.

Being the worst team in the MAC is just about as close as being a Div-II team as possible, besides, Penn State is already pulling ahead 17-3 at the half.

I expect Sopranos to clean up for all the obvious reasons. I just hope FOX doesn't try to imitate MTV.

I loved every second of this match.

A picture of Cena standing by a car is gay but Shawn prancing with mouth open in front of pyro with his hairy chest is totatlly manly?

Bad move. While a defeat of Cleveland might seem automatic, you shouldn't waste that team when they'll have an incredibly soft schedule.

Atlanta @ Jacksonville (10.5) Buffalo @ Pittsburgh (9.5) (7.5) Cincinnati @ Cleveland Green Bay @ N.Y. Giants (1.5) Houston @ Carolina (6.5) (7.5) Indianapolis @ Tennessee (3.5) New Orleans @ Tampa Bay San Francisco @ St. Louis (3.5) (3.5) Dallas @ Miami Minnesota @ Detroit (2.5) (3.5) Seattle @ Arizona Kansas City @ Chicago (12.5) N.Y. Jets @ Baltimore (10.5) Oakland @ Denver (10.5) San Diego @ New England (3.5) Washington @ Philadelphia (6.5) Dallas 34

It is a part of the Wrestle Fan Fest convention going on that weekend. They'll be in Vegas the night before at the Sam's Town Casino.

This is also on Sandman's MySpace page. TNA and ROH both, glad to see him getting paid after busting his ass to get in good shape. "Autograph signing" in Stamford? Why does that just sound like code for "meeting with WWE, to get my job back"? How authentic is this "myspace" anyways?

It comes out in early november against Lions for Lambs (Cruise movie).

ROH has no intention of being a NATIONAL promotion (although the VS. rumor persists but you'd might as well run on cable access). The business model (something TNA doesn't really have other then SPEND! SPEND! SPEND! and make nothing!) is to live off the sales of the DVD and it obviously works. The PPV deal is an additional advertisement for the product. Since when is Chicago/Detroit/Dayton a part of the northeast? Hell, Chicago has more shows then NYC does. Also, with regularly planned stops in England and Japan (two tours a year, which is about what WWE does for all of their international markets) isn't an exception. Vegas and SF, for the moment, are exceptions but they will test that market as well as Florida next year. That is called expansion. They haven't refused to get away from the Philly/NYC/Jersey/Boston market.

It isn't a season finale if a Gavin doesn't die. I enjoyed the episode and while this season had a share of good scenes, it was never a throughly good season but a bad season of Rescue Me is better then most of the junk on tv.

Man, I misread that at first. I thought Russo had managed to incorporate all three matches into one more giant clusterfuck.

He was cleared by doctors. If the doctor says he can go back out and perform and Danielson feels ready, then he can do his job. ROH isn't forcing Danielson into the match.

Well, at the time, I don't think WWE nor HHH had seen Batista as a guy to push to the forefront of the company.

No but that retirement sure as fuck hasn't kept him from appearing on about 20 different other albums a week, just like other retired superstar, Jay-Z.

Just like his mentor retired? It's the rap industry, since when do they live up to their word? Are we trusting him to be honorable? This is a non story just like all of these stupid little concocted "beefs" (what a stupid, stupid term) in this ugly mess of a genre.

It stuns me that guys like Aries haven't been picked up on these steroid busts. They might be on the lists after all but working in the anonymity of independent wrestling keeps away the media attention.

Shouldn't we change the subtitle of the thread? I'm thinking we're closer to 20 then 11 right now.

I remember when showing up drunk and missing shows just meant a push. This always happens during these overseas trips, and now WWE wants to expand their international presence.

Let's be honest, if his name wasn't Balls, he would have been sent packing awhile back.

He left before they sent Cade and Murdoch away (looking back, I guess he is more of a brunette then blonde). That whole skit was amusing for many different things. Benjamin's sad look, Murdoch throwing the hat and vest to the crowd, JBL's booming smile, Daivari waving bye to Punk, "Hey, Tommy" from McMahon, Coach's happiness for getting to stay in the ring, and McMahon's joy for having a white son.

I don't think he really goes out with a bang just for being at the end of a main event skit, if he didn't have blonde hair, he wouldn't stick around. He just happened to fit the same clues as the other two. Which reminds me, why did Doane just walk out? He has blonde hair, white and a former champion but he just left before they did the final clue about playing the game.

Considering the detail they usually put into the main event skits, I'm sure they were quite aware of who would be involved. Also, Hunter was standing right behind Sandman the entire time on the outside. I'm sure Hunter, who is involved in the precise details would have told Sandman to get lost. One more thing, Vince mentioned The Sandman at the end saying that "2 out of 3 would be disastrous."

Not just that, but it isn't that bad. Miz is a good dick heel, Kelly is decent enough to come off sweet and confused, Balls is the perfect "beast" and I love how Leyla is a complete bitch now. Wrestling romance angles generally suck with a couple big exceptions and this isn't rocking the boat either but kudos to WWE for pulling it off without being a complete abomination.
