Hawk 34

Vince was always going under the assumption that he could talk Bret into doing WM. Bret doesn't want to be involved with Shawn, in any way.

How appros, is it that GMU would likely play 'Nova next week.

He's a twat because he doesn't want Shawn to be there for what he intends to be his final public appearence with the WWE? A moment to honor his carrer...he's not justified to not want to have the presence of a con artist like Shawn there during it?

Nice jinx work, lox. (I just reversed the jinx, didn't i?) but if I openly reversed the jinx, doesn't the original jinx remain intact? When GMU finishes this off, let's rename lox George Mason #1 fan

After the suckfest that was the second game last night, it's great to see this great game here. 5 to go and GMU could seriously pull this off.

How did they get to use the name Razor Ramon, without WWE going lawsuit on them? Is there a working agreement or does WWE not care?

Don't be surprised if your plane ticket is stolen from the hotel at some point while you're at the ceremony, Bret. I'd be curious to see how Bret and Triple H interact (if at all). Shawn, can skip the show but I can't see Trips doing the same.

If there are at least 1 million redneck dipshits in America... As someone who likes some country music and some redneck comedians, I HATE that idiot. He's not funny, he just talks about gibberish then says GIT ER DONE! Ron White, should have gotten a movie instead of Larry the Cable Guy. I could see White's act working on film.

Can someone tell me why Sports Illustrated is paying attention to a non-sport like pro wrestling? Cause other than the NCAA tournament, there really isn't much for them to talk about right now. Except for the start of the baseball season, NBA approaching playoff time, the start of Indy season, NHL still going, the retirement of Tagliabue, the crazy NFL free agency... yeah there's nothing else in sports going on. The Montreal situation is probably the only non death related, non anti-wrestling topic mentiond in conventional sports media. That being said, it's not like wrestling hasn't been covered by SI before.

no no, that's thinking logical, and we all know McMahon can't do that. Vince, can't tell NBC when to slot the next SNME. If NBC had a say in the matter, they wouldn't even give another slot to the joke that is SNME. They probably just want to get those obligated shows out of the way, as they couldn't care when it suits WWE the best.

I don't think GMU would be a ratings draw, at least right now there doesn't seem to be much of fanbase or bandwagon for GMU (although that could change once they hype machine kicks off to push the whole unpredicatability factor). If 'Nova takes down Florida, then you got your obvious story right there. UCLA/LSU doesn't have a "story" to push, but GMU/Nova would and so would Nova/UCONN. Basically, from a networks standpoint it's basically "anything but Florida". As it stands, CBS probably would perfer UCLA/UCONN, because those are two powerhouse names and UCLA is a good market to get. It fears a LSU/Florida match up. It's hard to gauge if GMU would get a large surge of popularity, because some might just look at them as squash bait.

At this point, I'm waiting for Horowitz to return.

Read these lyrics...awesome Your glow reminds me of the brightest moonlight. With out its shine I'd be lost in the dark night. Lacey, put me in your top 8 when you myspace me and never replace me. Fire burns with a love that is true. In a million years no one could love like we do. Nobody can compare to us. No others come near. There are no other candidates. Together, we're the match of the year. Your smooth touch kills me so softly. But it's better to be dead with you than alive and lonely. Lacey, you're the American beauty, and I'm Kevin Spacey. Fire burns with a love that is true. In a million years no one could love like we do. Nobody can compare to us. No others come near. There are no other candidates. Together, we're the match of the year.

We don't want them back, if they play like this again. Geez, what a bad game (from both ends). LSU/UCLA? That doesn't scream marquee game, that's for sure. Don't get me wrong, there's been worse recently. I just hope Mason wins to really screw with CBS and seeing GMU play the "cinderella of all cinderella's" (as people will have you believe that 'Nova was in 85) in the F4, would give something of interest. That means we're getting UCONN/Florida. Probably, Florida/LSU in the holy suck of games. Why did it take this long to hit back to back 3's?

It hurts us, to see the Tigers play like this as well. Probably for different reasons.

42-36 with 3:40 to go? What, is this a girls game? I was right about this being a stinker, it might be close but that doesn't exempt it from suckiness. It just leads to a possible extra quarter of suck.

Results (still pending)-from the usual. PRESHOW MATCHES 1. Mitch Franklin d. Mike Turbin 2. Bobby Dempsey won a Four Corner Survival Match also involving Keenan Quinn, Smash Bradley and Shane Haggadorn, when he pinned Quinn. 3. Derek Dempsey d. Rich Titus to retain the Top of the Class Trophy MAIN SHOW! 1. Jimmy Rave d. Pelle Primeau in a quick match. - After the match Prince Nana yelled at Bruce LeRoy who was in the crowd. LeRoy went to the back, and Jimmy Yang came out...which led to... 2. Jimmy Yang d. Jimmy Rave - After the match, LeRoy came in and kicked Nana, and went to kick Rave, but Rave bailed out of the ring. 3. Allison Danger d. Lacey, Mercedes Martinez & Daizee Haze in a Four Corner Survival Match - Martinez dominated the match, but Danger blind tagged herself in and got the pin on Lacey. Dog said that the crowd was on their feet for Martinez, and really loved the match! Blade and Mikaze come out for their open challenge. The challenge is answered by CHRIS HERO AND NECRO BUTCHER! 4. Chris Hero & Necro Butcher d. Jason Blade & Kid Mikaze - Said to be a very quick match. After the match Hero and Necro call out Adam Pearce. Pearce and Necro start to have a match, while Hero has ducked under the ring. Hero eventually comes back out from under the ring and he and Necro proceed to beat the hell out of Pearce. Hero then calls his "best friend from CZW, Claudio Castagnoli" down to help them out! Claudio comes down and looks confused for a bit...and then starts hitting Necro Butcher with European Uppercuts! Claudio and Pearce run off Hero and Butcher, afterwhich Claudio says "F**K CZW!" 5. Christopher Daniels d. Alex Shelley with the Angels Wings - Lots of stalling by Shelley to start off. Lots of armdrags being traded back and forth. Said to be a "solid, but not spectacular match". 6. Nigel McGuinness d. Claudio Castagnoli to retain the ROH Pure Title after a "vicious" lariat" - Dog said that they each only used about 1 rope break. People around him liked the match, but he didn't like it all that much. Bobby Cruise announced that this is the largest ROH crowd in Manhattan to date! Return date of June 17th was also announced. It's now intermisison time! 7. Austin Aries d. Ricky Reyes by DQ - Reyes had the dragon sleeper on, but Aries was in the ropes. Reyes refused to let go, so he was disqualifed. Short, but good match. Reyes beat Aries down after the match, until Strong and Evans made the save. The Briscoes then came down and attacked Gen Next, beginning the Gen Next vs. Briscoes match! 8. Roderick Strong & Jack Evans d. The Briscoe Brothers with a Phoenix Splash variation on the Ode to the Bulldogs - Dog felt it was better than he expected, and called it a really fun match. Briscoes worked over Jack's leg for a while, but after a while longer, Jack stopped selling it. The crowd was super hot, and they all got a loud ROH chant after the match. 9. KENTA & Naomichi Marufuji d. Bryan Danielson & Samoa Joe when KENTA pins Danielson after "Go To Sleep" - Really solid match between all four. KENTA and Joe had some great exchanges. After the match, KENTA gets on the mic and said "I promise, I'll be back soon". Joe then got on the mic and said that KENTA may have won tonight, but he will never beat Danielson or Joe in a singles match. KENTA then takes the mic and says he doesn't understand English, so he doesn't know what Joe said. (Haha).

Man, the networks must love having LSU in the F4. I was expecting this game to be the better of the two, which means after the first game, this match up will likely be a stinker.

Make it happen WWE. I can't see WWE doing a 4 way CW tag team match. It'd be easier to set up a MnM/ One team, instead of 3 other teams. Just have a non-title match between MnM and that other team, the other team wins. Melina protests the match and demands Long strike it from the record because her team had NO time to prepare because they were stuck at a photo shoot for the japanese version of Entertainment Weekly. Long agrees and decides to give MnM the opportunity to have prepreation because they will face that team again, and the title will be on the line at WM. That'd be so fucking easy to set up. Team B beat Team A, the champions, in a non-title match. Team B earned a title shot.

That WM22 cover is pretty crowded.

Again, you completely missed the point. The "just imagine" meant, after you were saying how bad the suprise turned out to be, imagine how it would have gone with having a 90 minute match in front of an already pissed off crowd. I was fucking agreeing with you, but you were too blind to see that I guess.

Hey, we didn't choke. (yet)

I don't think so. UConn keeps playing to the level of their opposition and it's going to bite them in the ass. I'll laugh if Mason is the one who bites them in the ass. UCONN, has to play the home-team. I think that crowd plays a factor in that game.

I really don't think so. They already have eleven matches on this show for less than four hours. MNM should make an appearance, but we don't need to dilute the other matches just to add a completely heatless match. The only teams MNM can possibly face are total jobbers. There's no reason to get total jobbers on Wrestlemania. You get Wrestlemania 18. Let MNM show up in the Mark Henry match. No, that gives you basically every WM until WM14 when they stopped using jobbers in matches.

No, but two PAC10 in E8(Maybe) during a "off-season" is slightly weird yet not surprising.
