Hawk 34

If(when) ratings drop again, as they did last week...will they blame ABC for taking the GOD demographic away because of the Ten Commandments remake?

The problem with that idea is that you're forced into having a draw or some other non-finish. Danielson, as ROH Champion, isn't about to lose on a PPV, and Daniels isn't about to lose a non-title match to someone who isn't sticking around. And even if Danielson did come in to TNA for a while, he isn't going to do jobs while still ROH Champion. I'm completely aware of that, I'm just saying Dragon would be the closest realistic name to matching Liger to the market they were looking to attract.

Well, Liger in a cage didn't make much sense at all either. Danielson, has had decent cage matches before. They can't just bring in some unknown or someone else in TNA on the lower totem pole (Aries/Strong). It's too late to try to draw some big outside name for what would be an meaningless match in the grand scheme of things.

So, Orton has two songs on this album? He's also suspended as well, that's just cute.

You know, they really should get Danielson and offer him a one night spot against Daniels, you know the same smarky crowd they were looking for with Liger, would jump for Dragon/Daniels.

Easy, Sharmell cheats like crazy. Kurt, gets counted out in the process. Booker celebrates, Angle slaps the ankle-lock on him and Booker hilariously sells.

Great, like we really needed a bigger focus on the 10 year anniversary.

The storyline, as I remembered was that Hogan requested a match with Sid instead because of his actions at SNME and that Hogan decided that it would be his farewell match. Savage, was named the de-facto #1 contender, to which Flair decided to play mind games and started the "Liz was mine, before she was yours" angle.

I'm shocked Ashton Kutcher or Jessica Simpson, aren't in this.

You think WWE pay attention to those details? I guess in Kayfabe, we're supposed to argue that the winner of the rumble gets the main event right but since Rey lost the title shot rights to Orton, he wasn't elgible for the main event slot and Orton, hadn't won the rumble... Yeah, there's no logical reasoning in kayfabe. They just needed more time for Conan and Capone's entrances.

Ew. Miracle Whip?

Good luck with the Mo Pena experience.

I'm talking about the actual fighting part... Seriously, Tony is an out of shaped, fat, and very weak from the gun shot, and he beats up a young, in shaped, muscle freak. That's like Viscera being able to kick Kurt Angle's ass in a fight. The guy was too intimidated to fight back in a room full of ruthless gangsters who would have shot him if he layed a hand on the recovering Tony. He tried fighting back, he rushed at Tony and Tony grabbed his arm. You have to remember that Tony, is an experienced fighter. He'd have the natural ability to beat up a muscle man. Being built doesn't neccesarily make you a better fighter.

It's unrealistic for a hot-tempered guy to get paranoid and insecure and decide to flex his "muscle" to make a point?

I just want one confrontation from a newly outed Vito and Christopher. I can't even imagine the gold that will come from that.

Who was it that caught him at the bar? Maybe Vito, will hunt that person down...and how is that person supposed to explain seeing Vito in a gay club without outing himself in the process?

Vito, steals the show again although the aforementioned Sacrimoni family meeting was right up there.

bump

Considering that Orton has zero respect for the business or his peers or human society in general, I don't expect him to do that. He might put on a good act for a bit of time but he will slip up and do something stupid again.

Hefty, holds the lead over Couples/Olazabal/Singh/Clark for the moment. Up 2 over them.

What a shitty 2006, so far.

What's with Pittsburgh players going to SF? Bonds and Schmidt, to be exact.

I can't believe a David Spade movie brought in 20 million dollar draw.

Vince had some input over ONS with him and Heyman comprimising on certain things that went down on the PPV, most notably Heyman being able to get in RVD's promo, Tanaka's chair shots and Tazz showing up last instead of Austin. Hunter putting over RVD, or anyone else for the belt, isn't as hard to imagine as it seems on the surface. Hunter wants to get that big 17th World title reign and for that to happen he has to drop the belt six more times, and doing it to RVD at ONS makes a lot of sense because it gives the ECW fans the one finish they want above all others. Also, Triple H really has nothing to lose from giving RVD a gold watch title reign. RVD wins the title gives ONSII a special feeling, RVD gets that world title reign people have been harping for. It just gets to #12, quicker. The scary part will come when HHH decides he wants to break Sammantino's record.

The networks have to be going ape-shit about such a tight pack with names (Hefty, Couples, Woods, Singh, Jimenez, Goosen) with some new blood. I'll put my 'internet' money on Couples. No reason, anyone but Woods really for me.
