Hawk 34

Don't forget that the guy in the ring who is supposed to draw that reaction has zero ability to draw heat, so the fans had to choose between the two faces and Rey won in a landslide.

Mysterio, should be suspended for that suit he wore.

Orton, figured by process of elimination (Eddie=dead, Batista=injured) that he was the only guy left standing. WWE remembered that Angle was still there and dragged him out of the #4 heel spot on Raw to be the #1 face on Smackdown. Orton, has probably been given the "you are going to get a run" many times over the last 2 years and it hasn't happened aside from his cup of coffee in 2004. He, got frustrated and acted like a spoiled kid again. This same thing is going to happen to Edge, just you watch. No question, the only difference is? Edge, will be able to get heat off of it. He'll work it into his watered down Brian Pillman character. Unlike Orton, Edge wasn't instantly pushed into that spot. Edge, knows the business. Orton, always expects to get his way.

I think with a personality like Kellie, guys see her as more approachable. Katharine, looks like the kind of girl who isn't going to fall for an easy line.

Wasn't that basically William Regal? He was a dick to everyone, even the occasional heel. Mike Sanders, I think was also a total tweener as well.

Most professional jobs require that as well. Which is ironic that a circus promotion like WWE would have such a issue with looking "professional".

If they knew he was a problem all along, they should have really hurt him and cut him from WM. He wasn't needed. Angle/Mysterio was all that was required.

No, last weeks episode had a 2000's theme (songs from 2000's decade, the last 5 years) and I believe you can try out multiple times but once you are selected, you aren't elgible for another turn.

I take it serious because WWE is always ready to do those angles, just witness Jamal the other day. It's only inevitable that we have another stereotypical gay character again. (Whatever happened to Jordan's bi-sexual character?)

So it's because he didn't wear slacks , that he's getting benched? I'll take it. IIRC, wasn't Joey Mercury wearing a t-shirt at the HOF ceremony?

We don't need a nation re-mix. That is what it would be if WWE went that direction, Long did the militant black manager angle a couple years ago and while it inspired a few good one-liners, it was a horrible character and storyline.

I was serious, the other day. Once Doane drops the cheerleader gimmick (and by god, they are actually getting over to the dismay of many here) and goes on his own, Doane will main event WMXXVIII.

I still can't believe Long has been GM for awhile now, I figured he would be gone by now. He hardly even exists, which isn't a bad thing. He just shows up now and then but he doesn't really feel like he is there. He pisses of the heels and plays to the crowd but it doesn't always feel like he runs the place. Oh, Booker T doesn't need a mouthpiece.

They eventually just stuck with "Break down the Walls" for the regular entrance and moved "King of my World" for Hi-Lite reel. At least HHH is warning us ahead of time, how he will bore us. "King of Kings"=Promo, "Time to Play"=Match.

Benoit and Eddie, adjusted well enough.

Booker has been so plauged with injuries, that even if he was motivated he wouldn't be at the level he was at 1998-2000. He is still a good heel and is much better at it (be it a case of booking or not) and he is a much more intriguing character these days, even if he is supposed to be a comedy heel.

Don't spoil it, dickhead. How was exactly, was that a spoiler? The show happened 2 weeks ago. The Kevin Finnerty storyline is seemingly closed as that was to represent Tony in purgatory on the cusp of hell. That, was just adding to what Chase, confirmed apparently.

Also, I wonder if by shooting the guy in the ass (which won't help that guy's street cred at ALL) will put Bobby in heat with that crew. I also dug the shot up rapper going "tony soprano? original g" and Tony's response "yeah, whatver".

That's why I don't plan on making "friends" in college. And yes, I can't wait for her to actully be preggers even if not now but sooner or later. She is, in no way ready for that and way to stupid to think she can raise the kid. Don't get me wrong, she is smart and beautiful and could get any guy she wants but she lacks the emotional stability to handle a child.

That wasn't a main event. (if you were responding to snake). Of course, ME angles won't get blown off because they only started 6 weeks before Mania.

Velocity Psicosis Vs Finlay Noble and Kash Vs S2H and Funaki Lashley Vs Vito SD MnM Vs Kendrick and London (non title) Booker T Vs Brent Albright (with name change) Benoit Vs Simon Dean Burchill Vs Regal Orton Vs Mysterio Undertaker Vs Henry JBL Vs Benoit (Cage match)

That, and for looking much better then she did last week. Although, Rudo was accurate in his complaints about the lack of boobage. Don't conceal them, Katharine. It was better than last week's outfit though. OK, the ones that normally do well kinda blew, except for Kat, Chris and Elliott (kinda sorta). Kat we're assuming is safe since her fanbase got a scare. The others (Mandisa, Taylor, Paris) probably did poorly enough that their fans will vote more for them, feeling that they're in trouble. So I think that leaves a pool of Chris, Elliott, Ace, Bucky and Kellie. I think that the latter three will be at the bottom, and Ace finally goes home. Ace, had a better then usual performence last night and even Simon commended him for it. Ace, has spent the last couple weeks on the bottom three shows that his fan-base might not be as strong as we think it is. I think the fanbase shifted to Chris. Kellie, is in no way going to be in the bottom three. She pulled off an excellent performence last night and has a intense fanbase. Bucky, saved himself last night and I think this will be Ace's swan song

KOTR, will probably be just SD only, and not a ppv as they are already starting the tournament next week and the next SD ppv is in may, They should have a 16 man tournament but with qualifyers.... I'd have these qualifyers to set up the 16 man field (although Im expecting a 8 man format for SD) Angle D. Orton Benoit D. Jamie Noble Matt Hardy D. Simon Dean Booker T D. Nunzio Finlay D. S2H Lashley D. Sylvan Jordan D. Funaki Burchill D. Vito Mercury D. London Nitro D. Kendrick Animal D. Crazy Regal D. Psychosis Helms (he's hurt but he won't take many hits here as he wears a mask) D. ‘Taker (CO) (Singh interrupts) Scott D. Mark Henry (CO) (Taker interrupts) JBL D. Daivari (Daivari returns and cuts a promo in Arabic and this pisses JBL off and he squashes Daivari) Last Chance battle royal: Sylvan beats Noble, Nunzio, S2H, Vito, London, Kendrick, Dean and Mexi-Cools This would take two weeks to pull off (4 matches on each smackdown 4/7 and 4/14 and 4 matches each velocity). Set up the opening round to take place on 4/28 (give 2 weeks to hype the event) Kurt Angle Vs Orlando Jordan (Angle wins a squash) Booker T Vs Matt Hardy (Booker cheats to win) Burchill Vs Regal (Regal, desperate to beat his former protege breaks out the old knuckles) Sylvan Vs Chris Benoit (Benoit wins a squash) Lashley Vs Animal (a short stiff brawl that Lashley wins via DQ) Finlay Vs Gunner Scott (Scott, almost pulls the upset again but Finlay uses his trusty weapon) Nitro Vs Mercury (London and Kendrick run in and causes a double DQ) JBL Vs Gregory Helms (JBL wins a squash and earns a bye) (I think they can get 8 matches in as they got 7 matches in for this weeks show and rey/orton got time) The second round takes place on 5/5 Angle Vs Booker (Angle wins a competive match) Regal Vs Benoit (Benoit wins another great match with Regal) Lashley Vs Finlay (short intense brawl ending in DCO) JBL gets another draw. The winner of the KOTR semi-finals and finals meet Rey for the title at JD. Semi-Finals (5/12) Kurt Angle D. Benoit in a long usual good match between the two (JBL commentates) Finals Kurt Angle defeats JBL That sets up Angle/Mysterio, JBL/Benoit for the US title in another gimmick, MnM Vs London and Kendrick, UT/Singh (or UT/Henry-buried alive, which is possible), Lashley/Finlay street fight and two other matches for JD.

They finally debut Brent Albright and give him an idiotic name like Gunner Scott? Brent Albright, was fine enough...they took a generic name and made it more generic and idiotic. I do like the pairing with Benoit though. KOTR, returning is interesting. Show doesn't look all that bad, despite the Giant Singh thing. I guess Angle kicking the shit out of Orton will be Orton's excuse for his absence. Angle, probably snaps and "injures" Orton. Also, you get suspended for 2 months but they will let you work two big matches before you have to serve that suspension. Why do I get the feeling, he never actually serves a suspension at all. BTW, I wonder if CM Punk working a dark match was just for the hometown factor or if they are getting ready to call him up because he hasn't worked dark matches since signing the contract. Ironic, they pair him with the CM Punk clone, SJK. Cabana, hopefully won over the suits in the back. How could they not like Colt? He delivers the comedy, and he isn't neccesarily a small guy either (6'1 wide built body_
