Hawk 34

Yea i m surprised the crowd isnt mad at him for leaving the wwe to act Anyone who thinks the Rock "sold out" is a total moron to begin with...... Agreed Let's see, 15 million to make "The Rundown" or a couple mil a year to work 250+ days a year on the road? To be fair, Rock wouldn't be working 250 dates. He'd be set to give himself a softer schedule for more money ala Foley and Hogan. He'd be making more then couple million.

1. Cena and Shawn tease dissension. Coach books them in 3 team gauntlet with titles on the line. 2. Orton beat Flair and Carlito via RKO in Three Way Elimination 3. Trump arrives 4. Masters squashed Super Crazy 5. McMahon arrives 6. Ernie Ladd tribute video 7. The Rock cuts a taped promo mocking Vince and Umaga. Made a few dick jokes. Crowd popped big. 8. Cena/Shawn pin WGTT. Pin Cade and Murdoch. Cage lowers and MNM come out.

Most of the appeal to it is Melina's slide and that's prevented with the cage already being lowered.

Dramatic purposes. All gimmick matches need their own intro theme.

You'll get to hear Sexy Boy again once Triple H returns and turns heel on HBK his first night back. Shawn does need to ditch the black and green gear for Mania and the music as well. Just to put over that the Showstopper is going for one last dance. It needs to be the authentic HBK instead of the DX/Christian hybrid.

He looks like a boy-bander.

They really should give this 10 minutes but they won't. They'll get 5 minutes with a quick squash on Cade/Murdoch leading to MnM cheating to win the titles.

How exactly was that a mark-out moment? It was a taped promo consisting of the same material as his last appearence. The only difference between that and what Austin did, is that Austin did it in the ring instead. However, Rock's promo didn't even bother to really put Lashley over. He just mocked Umaga and Vince. In the end, it didn't do much except get a pop. Having the Rock do a promo is a victory for WWE but they could have done more with the opportunity.

Now people will assume that the Rock will make a surprise return at WM and get involved in the match.

The Rock needs to mention that Umaga is his cousin.

We'll just have a tv playing out in the shop, so I won't have to worry about missing the games. Any reason why they have two games that aren't exactly major market teams given a wide time period (GW/Vanderbilt and MOH/Oregon)? You'd think they would just put teams like Duke, Florida or UCLA in that slot.

Is Crazy the woman's defender? First Mickie and now Lillian.

Orton getting the final spot was the correct and obvious move but I think they really needed to put over that Orton doesn't want to be in a ladder match. It would add alot if someone spent the entire match avoiding taking any bumps and Orton could do that with ease. He can easily add a different type of heat in that measure. While it's a direct way to include Orton into a high profile match, he should have shown restraint about being in the match feeling that he doesn't need to kill himself for what he rightfully deserves only to lead to a paranoid Orton begging to get into the match leading to a desperate heel act in a last chance battle royal. I guess this will do.

People like cheering for Scotty 2 Hotty as well. Let's put him in the match instead. Besides, it's not as if Carlito is going to get left off the card. Please, don't insinuate that Scotty 2 Hotty and Carlito have the same status ont he card. Carlito is established as a realistic contender, as well as arguably the best mid-card face in the E right now with the exception of Punk. Until he shows the "E" he's not a lazy pile of crap he isn't going to get any sort of high profile push. I enjoy the people that think Carlito is great when he's done nothing but dog it for the better part of a year. Carlito is in the same place as Benjamin was in 2004. However, Benjamin was a victim of failing to capture a crowd beyond the high flying work and didn't have much for personality. Carlito has a glimmer of personality but spent much of that time going through the motions.

This is where Cena is at his best. No catchprhases or silly voices. His delivery and approach is among the best in the company right now and he really becomes convincing as a serious threat main event as opposed to the comical jokester he is usually asked to be.

He is. Rebecca, I believe her name is.

Xavier travels really well, so they’ll make the very short trip down to Lexington. Expect a larger XU contingent then OSU. Speaking of OSU/X, why is the media drooling over a chance at UCLA/Pitt when the idea of Matta against XU should be more interesting especially given the proximity

For those who haven't seen the times for the games and are wondering about classes/work, here are the times for the games according to Yahoo Thursday Louisville Vs Stanford (12:40) Boston College Vs Texas Tech (12:25) Maryland Vs Davidson (12:20) *Marvin will probably miss the game in HDTV and wreck himself for it* Washington State Vs Oral Roberts(2:40) Georgetown Vs Belmont (2:55) Texas A&M Vs Penn (3:10) Butler Vs Old Dominion (2:50) Vaderbilt Vs GW (5:10) Ohio State Vs Central Conn (7:10) Duke Vs VCU (7:10) UCLA Vs Weber State (7:25) Marquette Vs Michigan St (7:20) BYU Vs Xavier (9:40) Pittsburgh Vs Wright State (9:40) Indiana Vs Gonzaga (9:55) UNC Vs EKU (9:50) Friday Virginia Vs Albany (12:15) Memphis Vs North Texas (12:30) UNLV Vs GT (12:25) Tennessee Vs Long Beach St (2:45) Nevada Vs Creighton (3:00) Notre Dame Vs Winthrop (2:35) Wisconsin Vs Texas A&M-CC (2:55) Oregon Vs Miami (5:05) *A national viewing of a massacre given to my school!* VT Vs Illinois (7:10) Kansas Vs Niagara/FAMU (7:10) Arizona Vs Purdue (7:20) Texas Vs New Mexico State (7:25) Villanova Vs Kentucky (9:40) Southern Illinois Vs Holy Cross (9:40) Florida Vs Jackson State (9:50) USC Vs Arkansas (9:55)

That's a great move by WWE. Tell Melina to carry the worst woman's wrestler in the company to a watchable match or feel the wrath. If she manages to do just that, Ashley ends up looking like a million bucks. Thry can't lose.

You're a broken record, HTQ. We get it.

We got robbed of Joe Vs NOAH for that shit. Some people might think Punk is in the doghouse and the entire locker room hates him but Punk actually made a better move then Joe did.

Akron didn't even get a NIT bid?

I guess the networks heads agreed before the show to collectively be pissed about X.

OSU/X in Lexington will be nuts.
