Hawk 34

That they don't ever mention........and no one really notices. Oh, but TSM was all over it. Besides, wasn't the deal that every former world champion under the Raw brand at the end of the night would be open to be in the match? Sandman wasn't added that night.

How come Kennedy gets to know who he faces?

More like the Tito Santana of our day. Good run during the peak years as a mid-card act including a couple title reigns but complete JTTS career for another half decade despite not much difference to character aside from costume. Sure, Venis had the brief RTC deal but the comparison to Santana holds strong.

The gimmick is ten years old and they still manage to "find" a big rack'd chick in the front row going nuts for the guy. I figured they'd do Sandman-Booker, just for the reactions from Booker to Sandman.

That's exactly what this case needs. A 4th party.

Toss Marella into a box and slap "To OVW" on it.

Last I heard, they were thinking of giving him a stable of guys ala Heenan Family on ECW.

Great promo (no surprise) and average worker. Basically, he has the promo skills as his father and slightly less skilled then his brother at his age.

I'm shocked that we haven't gotten a food fight or some holiday themed deal with the divas tonight.

Kennedy got a misdiagnosis from his doctor and wasn't as injured as originally thought. Benoit was also replaced with Torrie in the WWE package at the start of the show.

This format doesn't fit well for old Resthold Randy. Nah. Before Yokozuna it was extremely rare. The Monday Night Wars brought us frequent title changes, which we're only now getting away from. I'd rather see long championship reigns, since it makes the title seem more important. Agreed. Sure, we've seen bad examples recently but we've seen great long term reigns as well. I wouldn't place Cena in either group.

My favorite BTC match was the one with HHH and Benoit where everyone tried to keep him from winning.

Alright. Jeff for Orton. I'll say... Sandman for Booker. Venis for Kennedy. Snitsky for Lashley.

If they kept Regal as GM/authority figure, would they really have a use for Coach anymore? Would anyone really miss him?

I only slightly like the Beat the Clock format for choosing #1 contenders over Battle Royals.

I'd be all for Regal taking Coach's job for good. He was tremendous back in the day. What's Tajiri up to?

I understand that the writers are stressed about the Benoit deal, but they should remember doing this exact act 3 weeks ago.

That's the exact demographic the rejected writers are appealing to. I think we're aware of Cena's legitimate comedy skills.

He's not over. He wins all the time and gets boo'd. What are you talking about?

I was expecting a Buffer comment from Cena. Gotta love these shitty writers.

2 matches only for ECW? That's getting to be a routine and I'm all for it since they usually get 10-15 minutes each. I'd expect a couple skits inserted into the show. Kane-Edge is never a good match but anything other then Batista is good step forward with Edge. We're about to see the big difference with Batista and Cena when Batista is asked to do something with Khali. Palumbo finally makes the main show, after seemingly forever on heat/dark matches. The Knoble streak ends. It was a good run. See you in 2008, Jamie.

Wonder how long before we find out who "M.J" and "O.G" are. OG could probably be Mysterio but I can't place "M.J" within the business at least close to Benoit. Oh, Konnan is on Nancy Grace but before he does his speech, the replacement mocks his name. Konnan is doing decent here and admits to using 'roids.

Wasn't it said a few days ago that Benoit was the "guy to go to" when people needed stuff?

How everyone else smuggles drugs these days, secret compartments and up their asses. They have 'prescriptions' for most of these drugs.

You forgot Booker. Booker doing a job to HHH wouldn't hurt him all that much. Kennedy-HHH is something that can be saved. The idea is for HHH to just come back and look strong and Booker is a obvious choice with a short angle heading into 'Slam upon Hunter's return.
