Hawk 34

All important factors to a top face of the promotion, I don't mean face in the smarky "good guy" sense. I'm talking as an representation of the company.

Yep, he'd do 3 or more per match quite often and he often seemed to take all the pain instead of the other guy.

Let's not attach all the brain damage to the head-BUTT itself, the guy took over a hundred shots to the head with a chair and other objects, regularly hit countless suplex moves and took them as well with power bombs to the head not to mention just the basic stuff that still causes damage. We know Bret Hart and Nowinski suffered career ending concussions just from a kick to the face.

I agree with saving the "obvious wins". Take a questionable game, make a call and hope for the best. Save the NE, Denver, Indy and Chicago level teams for the later part of the season to assure some saftey.

I hope McMahon doesn't hear about Danielson wearing an eye patch, or he'll try to sign him to do the pirate gimmick properly since Burchill made the mistake of using an modern interpretation.

On the contrary, I heard that Vince was very high on Punk. Correct. It's Stephanie that isn't a fan of Punk, McMahon thought the straight edge thing would make for a great heel character, unknowing about Punk's past obviously. Considering the fact Punk was only hired because TNA was after him as well, being Heyman and Foley's boy(two people that the McMahon family can't decide how they about), not having the "look" (which is probably the best thing for WWE right now) and getting very little promo time in the last year, Punk has been quite a success with WWE. Even if it is on the C brand, it still stands that WWE clearly like him enough to at least be the current RVD/Jericho of the company.

I'd like for once they actually include another "legend" instead of the usual triumvirate of Foley, Austin and Piper. They really should scrap this as a PPV and build it as a TV Special, as it was suggested and considered not so long ago. It is an idea that translates better for TV anyways since in theory, shouldn't the viewer be weary of buying a show without an idea of what will occur although these shows are typically suggestively rigged.

Yeah, have one of the better workers in the world leave because he was involved in a match in which men were suppling the stiff shots. Morishima could have just as easily suffered the same injury as Danielson.

There are very few people where Scott Hall can be considered an upgrade but Test is one of those guys.

Don't they have this unofficial house show title changes during the international tours on a somewhat regular basis? This isn't mentioned on WWE.Com, so I'd assume it is the house show special. Speaking of WWE.com, they compare Cena to Sprewell and Bob Knight.

Was that a house show special "this never really happened", or the real thing?

Well, Punk did go over in Chicago before WM this year. I'd expect Morrison to just return at No Mercy and cause a DQ finish to set up a rematch.

Except Ken Doane/Kenny/Kenny Dykstra was called up at age 20. Wasn't Orton only like 22 as well when he was called up from OVW? Alex Shelley's father and grandfather weren't in the business. I'm really saddened to hear that news, I was convinced Shelley was going to be the mastermind behind Project 161 and it seems ROH could give Joe more.

I just can't see the appeal in fantasy sports. Devoting your time to analyzing stats of little importance for something that doesn't truly exist. All it does is create the false mentality that these people can run a franchise better then their real life counterparts while sitting comfortably on the couch with Cheetos stains. Among the things that irritate me the most within the sports world is the constant mentioning of a fantasy team and lamenting who they shouldve started and demeaning someone for failing to supply them with pumped up stats. (Fuck Larry Johnson for not scoring another touchdown! I shouldve went with Gore!) It's no different then the douche bag at work at the break table who insists on talking about the specific reasoning behind numbers they personally selected for the weekly mega-millions. Czech is pretty much on the nose with this, I can only concern myself with my local team and those within their division. Now, if another team can factor in late in the season via playoff implications, I'll pay attention to them and root for/against that said team depending on the circumstances but I wouldn't find the need to keep a close eye on how many rushing tds amassed by Shaun Alexander against Arizona when that will never impact the success of the team I root for.

I think if Flair were to work a guy like Danielson, it'd be treated as a special type match for Flair to pop the crowd, do his spots, sell and put over the other guy or have fun with it and let Flair cheat to win like the Flair we all knew and loved. If he were ever to work a ROH match, which I wouldn't expect him to do, i'd rather it be with a guy like Hero since Hero could easily work down to Flair and it'd be a hot match.

Flair-Misawa would be appros. Two immobile middle age guys chopping each other ad nausem for 30 minutes? Middle age? Middle age passed them by some time ago.

It's just a ploy by Flair or an act of attention. Flair isn't going anywhere, like I said in the general thread, he'll get a sweetheart deal and come back. Flair-Misawa would be appros.

ECW is only 70 minutes long, which means just 45ish minutes of content. I don't know what TNA's excuse is, but Smackdown and Raw aren't deep enough to fill 130/85 minutes every week. They should get rid of the roster split. It's effectively killed two shows. It's not filling up the space that is the issue, it is the ones doing the filling. ECW is basically working off of 10 people every week and making everyone have purpose and keeps 3-4 regular storylines going on a coherent basis. TNA tries to cram 45 in the same period and fail miserably. Raw has a bad writer creating the staleness, Smackdown is just a plodding show with zero star power.

Flair is a slight surprise since I figured he'd always be willing to whore himself for attention and scrap change but I expect them to talk Flair back into it with a sweetheart deal.

Good match and great crowd.

Where is this at? Cincinnati. Right between ROH and OVW nation.

Duck and dive, get Khali to tire out and Rey uses his size to chop down Khali and seek the flash cover.

They lucked on having Punk win tonight in what is a defacto second home for Punk.

Who in his family died? If it was his wife, a kid, or a parent who died unexpectedly I could understand. I'm not quite sure if that was ever stated but given the time away and the lack of info, it would lead me to believe it has to be something that significant.

It has been two months, shouldn't Cor Von be over the family death by now, or at least ready to go back to work?
