Hawk 34

Bush and Selig on the same field, I wonder who is more hated.

I still want to know who the other gangsters were, I thought Jacobs and maybe Ace Steel was one.

Poor Punk. At least he seemed to enjoy carrying around his tommy. Poor Punk? The man got to appear as a part of the main event @ WM in his home-town. He was relishing every second of it. He could pull of a 1930's gangster gimmick, if only he didn't have the mass tattoos and dyed hair.

It lacks a special feeling when every promotion does that now for its main events, even WCW did this. Cena dancing, probably only gave him more heat

Well said. I'd rather the fans cheer for or boo who the like instead of being brainwashed by the WWE. Besides, it created a more interesting atmosphere. In regards to the entrances, I actually thought they were kinda cool, even though some of them were a littlle weird. This was "a little weird"?

Rey had a easier time to cover up the botch since it was early in the match and he could still leap up and kick Angle, you can just argue that Rey let go of the post because he had too much momentum. Mickie's botch came at the finish and although Mickie did a good job of using her character to lessen the damage it was still a damper. I don't think it hurt the match and I'm glad they didn't try to redo the spot.

I said this eariler, but I'm really pissed the incompetent fools calling the match completely ignored the real story of the match, and hopefully they rectify it tonight. The story started out that way, but by the point of WM, it was Vince wanting to torture Shawn for NOT going down that road with Vince again. When Shawn finally did revert, he did in spite of Vince, not for him. The real story of the match was the match they were announcing, not that Shawn was reverting. The post-show interview indicates that he is sticking with the edgy slant, rather then him reverting out of spite just for that night. The story was telling that after all the pushing from McMahon and all his shit, he still managed to break Shawn down and lured that old Shawn out.

Rock, isn't coming back. If he were, he wouldn't work Michaels anyways. I said it eariler but I'll say it again... Batista/Angle needs to be the Mania match for SD. Mysterio is dropping the title to Orton, probably on the summer SNME and thats about when Batista returns. Batista and Orton has already been teased and that probably should be the SummerSlam program and Batista goes over and gets title reign #2. I would continue to book Batista as they were before he was injured. An ass-kicking machine who cant be beaten. TBS/Kane, one of them probably ends up on Smackdown after the annual draft. Batista will work a revenge angle with them after the Orton program. Mysterio should resume his role as Batista's little buddy, and keep insisting that he wants a title shot. Batista, won't give it to him because they are good friends and he can't control the animal inside the ring and doesn't want to hurt Rey. Rey, finally gets a title shot at Batista @ Survivor Series. It's built that Mysterio takes Batista to the limit but he couldn't beat Batista's power and strength and there's no heel turn or anything. A straight up respect angle built around a David V. Goliath angle. This is where you start Angle/Batista build up. Angle, probably will work Rey the next couple of months. I would give Angle time off to rest and not to burn out his matches. Angle, returns at Survivor Series to participate in a elimination match. Who is involved in the match doesn't matter. Angle, goes over beating 3 men at once. So Angle is looking strong and Batista is on a roll. The obvious collision is bound to occur. It's a simple story of "Who is the best?" The Animal Vs The Wrestling Machine. Kurt, doesn't need the rumble victory as Raw will probably have it next year. Raw, probably will have Triple H against Carlito. I'm convinced by this August, Carlito will be very over and will probably get another IC title reign and that'll carry over into a program with the champ (HHH) for Mania. We have no clue who'll get called up by WWE and who won't be with the company next year, so making WM23 card predictions is stupid. The bottom line is? They can't sit on their asses and wait until 6 weeks to start building the matches, especially the main events.

I said this eariler, but I'm really pissed the incompetent fools calling the match completely ignored the real story of the match, and hopefully they rectify it tonight.

I could never get into South Park. Yeah, they had some good episodes and good points on things but I never could take it seriously enough to follow it, much less collect the show on DVD. John Candy, is the shit. Uncle Buck, is a tremendous movie and it's shame that Candy's last movie was that piece of shit movie with Richard Lewis (Wagon's East).

It had more to do with the chicago based theme of the show, rather then a lyric from his old theme song. In fact, you are probably the only one to make such a connection.

The crowd was completely pro-Angle, Rey has been shoved down our throats with the Eddie stuff (which ironically enough, was toned down tonight, and Eddie was more of a focal part of the US Title match) and Rey, had been pushed as a baby lately. Really hurt his appeal for the fans.

Aside from CM Punk and I think Jimmy Jacobs...who else was used?

Wearing something like that in Mexico, fits because...well it's in Mexico. He just looks silly, a 5'5 guy wearing a feathered head-dress with a black leather mask will always look silly.

Mexicans wear peacocks? I could get the tribal gear, not the peacock feathers.

Take a deep breath and relax. It just annoys me so much what this company does sometimes. They are so wrapped up in their own universe that they have no idea how real people operate. I was ashamed of wrestling when I saw Hunter in that thing. What in the FUCK did that accomplish other than give a little more ammo to people who want to shoot it down. Why in the hell does my love of wrestling have to be a fucking secret from everyone? I tried to take my friend to a show down here in DC, and he was excited. I thought "hey, maybe I can find someone in the real world that will share this passion with me" And then that fucking idiot Vince McMahon makes in the god damned motherfucking Kiss My Ass Club show, and I spent damn near a week trying to find a way to explain this to him. Luckily he dropped out, and you dont know how thankful I was. And so now of course we have a fucking PIRATE. WHY? WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A MAN PLAYING A PIRATE ON MY TV? He's not supposed to be a joke, he's not insane, he's a motherfucking legitimate Pirate who decided wrestling in 2006 was the way to go about whatever the hell it is his goals were. This isn't the Boogeyman. The Boogeyman's gimmick is that he's off the wall batshit crazy. This is a perfectly sane and rational man who decided he was a pirate and we're supposed to accept and respect that. If I were watching Smackdown and someone came in and saw that, I'd be mortified. And now, on top of all this, the two biggest stars in the company (In theory) are showing up in utterly absurd costumes from some high school play. I don't ask them to go all the way mainstream. But would it really hurt them to not make fools of themselves and all their fans. Does Hunter really need to be dressed like that? Any wrestling fan knows he's the king of kings or whatever, and they don't need that...thing to explain it. Any casual thinks he's now the biggest loser dork they've ever seen. And I completely don't understand what the hell was going on with Cena. He's in Chicago, so he's no longer Vanilla Ice, he's Al Capone? WHY? I know it's Wrestlemania and you want to do it up. Debut new tights. Debut a ring robe, new pyro, come to the ring differently, anything but what these two did tonight. The new world champion came out wearing a fucking peacock on his head. Why are you ignoring that?

Being right, isn't wrong.

Why did Rey come out and go back behind the "building" just to pose...and then he comes back out onto the ramp again with the peacock head-dress. Yeah, btw...Cena and HHH were bad but Mysterio was worse.

HHH, Taker and JBL on the same show? That'd make for interesting reports.

Considering that TNA and ROH do this all the time and WCW used to do it as well, it wasn't that special. Cena, dancing like ALI was equally moronic as the Gangster theme.

I guess the constant references to Conan during the telecast, didn't register to some people.

The throne, was fine. That fit perfectly into his character and he had a dramatic entrance last year with the rising stage, so that wasn't out of place. It was the costume that did him in, at least he had an excuse with the "King of Kings" thing... Since when was Cena supposed to be a 1930's gangster?

You know what pissed me off about the McMahon/HBK match? Ross and King, completely ignored the story they (I think) were trying to tell. The whole purpose of the angle (from what I gathered) was that McMahon wanted Shawn to be the guy he was in 1997, the crazy and cocky arrogant rock n roll superstar but Shawn "grew" up. McMahon, resented that Shawn had moved on from his most memorable event of his life. Through-out the match, Shawn broke down into the man Vince was trying to lure. Shawn, returned to his cocky and crazy rock n roll superstar antics. Breaking out the crotch chops, the constant mocking was Shawn falling back into his old ways. But that will be completely ignored and Shawn will go back to be good christian Shawn.

Am I the only one who noticed that 'Taker kinda missed his target off the plancha? He damn near smacked his head right onto the floor. Maybe next year, he'll get that WM classic he wants because tonight sure wasn't.

I doubt it. It was just a clever way to have him come back fresh later on and pop the crowd for his return. I thought he was gonna come out at the end, he was only gone for about 3 minutes.
