Hawk 34

Fresh from ROHWRESTLING.COM ---------------------------------------- Lance Storm has won titles everywhere he has gone from Japan to SMW to ECW to WCW to WWE. He retired from the ring last June with no reason to ever return. Now Storm has the itch and it is all because of one athlete. He has found his love for the sport of pro wrestling again and it is because of ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson. Storm and Danielson came face-to-face at "Steel Cage Warfare" on December 3rd. Storm told Danielson that if he were ever to come out of retirement it would be to wrestle someone like him. Since that time the itch began to grow in Storm and he felt the need to return to the ring to compete against Danielson. Storm has signed one of Bryan Danielson's open contracts for a World Title shot. It will be Lance Storm vs. Bryan Danielson for the ROH World Title on April 1st in Chicago (ROHwrestling.com, 215-781-2500, Ticketmaster outlets for tickets and info). Of course, Danielson must still be champion on April 1st. Even if Danielson loses the belt, it will still be Danielson vs. Storm on 4/1 in Chicago. "After a 10 month absence, I will be returning to active competition April 1st to challenge the current ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson," Storm said. "I now have 10 weeks to get myself in the best shape of my life. I have never been more focused or set in a direction as I am right now. My only hope is that he is still the Champion come April 1st as a World Title run is the only thing that has eluded me in my career."

Aside from Angle-Taker III (If we're talking 2006 only) and Taker-Benoit, Henry is the best option for 'Taker.

This, has more of a WM main event feel to it then Orton/Rey/Angle will.

realize that "Academy Award Nominee" is just as significant in terms of marketing, when Cuba Gooding Jr can call himself "Academy Award winner". Shrug it off, hit the parties and do the hollywood circuit. Use the nomination and attention gained from the hype to get the bigger pay-day on the next film.

Is Booker not allowed to work any overseas shows or is it just Japan?

Yeah, 04. I'm still in that 2005 shiftover zone. When, 2004 feels like last year. even though 05 was last year... Also, another good Danielson match that i excluded was Marufuji.

Survival of the Fittest 05. Danielson, basically stretched Jack into a human pretzel. No human should bend like that. Not a great "match", but a good spectacle. Also, I forgot to include SPANKY on my wrestlers, Danielson hit 4 *'s with list.

He has about 23,093 more to go.

New news: TNA wants to bring in Rocky Romero(Black Tiger) for X Cup as a part of team japan with Liger, Tanahasi and Tiger Mask. All they need is Reyes and Smokes (I don't think he'll get a spot because his vulgar and offensive persona doesn't fit) for the complete Rotties effect. Romero, should keep a spot with the promotion, as B.T or Romero(as a new member of LAX).

My only advice, when looking for that final piece of the puzzle... Screen their relationship history. If any instances of relationship drama is obvious, shut the door on them. Last semester, Myself and two other friends needed a fourth room-mate after our fourth developed a really bad case of homesickness. We put a notice up and within hours, we were flooded with calls. We decided, it doesn't matter who pays the "most" because offers were equal. After a couple days of taking phone calls and meetings, we made a list of the top choices. It came down to four guys at the end and my room-mates and I, couldn't come to a decision. One, a guy named Justin was an devout christian and your typical bible thumper. He was cut, despite probably being the only one, with no negative qualities beyond the bible thumping. (Two jews and an agonostic, wouldn't work with a bible thumper) Donnie was a total metal-head, he was tatted up and had piercings all over. We weren't bothered by this but we drew the line when he wanted to keep his snakes in his room. We had seen enough bad sitcoms, to know that the snake would get out of the tank sooner or later and that chaos would follow. The next one was this really shy kid, whose name i can't recall. Similar to AoO mentioned. Shyness, isn't a bad thing but we could tell this kid wouldn't add anything to the table. (In hindsight, we should have taken him) The final choice, and the one we ended up selecting as our final room-mate was seemingly normal....except one thing. To say he had woman issues, is an understatement. We really didn't mind having girls coming in and out of the place, (as we also had girls coming in and out). It got out of hand, when he finally pissed off the wrong girl. We weren't aware that had filed a restraining order against an ex before he had moved in, but we were quite aware after she broke into the place and destroyed the house including many valuables. That was just the start of it, that girl would haunt all three of us for the rest of the year. (She didn't even go to the same school). Her idea was that if she bothered the three of us enough, she'd get him to reconsider his stance. Finally, the semester ended and we told him to pack his bag because we weren't going through this again. I ended up, moving out as well. Back to the family (the drive was short enough to justify it). So yeah, make sure your new room-mate doesn't have a screwed up past.

This team pleases me. Rinauro and Lacey better watch their backs then. Lacey, was smart to attach herself to the head trainer of ROH. In roh, that's basically pulling a HHH on the promotion. Since Gabe doesn't have a daughter. * Considering that they've been dating for longer than Aries has been wrestling for the company. It's really a non-issue. It's called sarcasm.

Danielson was a part of the indy trio that TNA and WWE were looking at last summer (joe, punk). However, it was mainly just to keep the other from signing Danielson. Danielson, never directly turned either down but wasn't formally offered anything. 'Cide is already in TNA and Low Ki, is only a matter of time. (They still need to address past issues, first) Colt Cabana, continues to be a mystifying snub. He brings the comedy, can work all different styles and has been golden with his serious persona in ROH the last few months.

Please understand that I'm not slighting Dragon here but ..... Well, nobody else that I have seen has hit 4 stars with Dragon with the possible exception of Low-Ki (do wanna see the Dragon/Noble match) so if Storm can't than how does that make him underrated? Samoa Joe Austin Aries Roderick Strong CM Punk Matt Sydal Doug Williams Christopher Daniels Jamie Gibson Paul London Homicide AJ Styles all have hit 3 3/4 - 4+ snowflakes with Danielson.

People mixed up the term "not using anymore" with "fired". You can't fire someone, who isn't under contract. ROH has stopped using many wrestlers before, PWI made up the "fired" headline to make it more senstational. This is hardly damaging to ROH. It was the right move, ROH always makes sure to keep it's roster fresh. People come in and then they get phased out, it's business. Lethal, wasn't really all that special for ROH. He's a decent talent but not neccesarily someone who was needed (as Dragon, Joe, Aries are). BTW, ROH also cut Azrieal. Still believe it's an TNA bias?

There has been a disgreement in business arrangements between Low Ki and ROH management. Low Ki has canceled all his ROH bookings as stated in a headline at Low-Ki.com. We will announce new matches for the ones that Ki has already been advertised in next week. This will mark the end of Low Ki in ROH. We are sorry things turned out this way and apologize to the ROH fans for the lineup changes. -ROHWRESTLING.COM ------ ROH is having a rough week, having lost Milano Collection AT, Abyss and Low Ki. This causes a massive dent in ROH's plans as he was booked to headline the company's 100th show in April in a re-match of the classic three way with Daniels and Dragon, also with Roderick Strong on 2/11 and the big CZW/ROH double-header in a ROH legends tag match, and was likely to play a key role in the wrestlemania weekend triple-shot event.

Those fans, are idiots. Typical Florida State.

Drive-Inn's are still out there, although not as popular and wide-spread as they once were. I love the drive-inn and perfer it over the big chains.

So basically, the only thing seperating him from Snitsky are his punches. There would be no rational justification for having Sid on any sort of wrestling card these days. SID, had IT. Snitsky, has nothing.

That's cute. On the regular schedule, only 25% of races occur in what is considered the south and nearly 75% of the drivers are from...California, Washington, Missouri and Indiana. What says redneck like California? The big race, Daytona 500 is in the South! The rednecks have RVs and would follow the circuit as if they were Grateful Dead fans. Nothing says NASCAR like the Indy 500....

Since it says "debut", you can rule out DDP (who burned bridges anyways)...and Shamrock. What about...Scott Steiner? Buff Bagwell? It wouldn't be Jericho, since he is actually a "big name" and didn't really headline the MNW years.

That's cute. On the regular schedule, only 25% of races occur in what is considered the south and nearly 75% of the drivers are from...California, Washington, Missouri and Indiana. What says redneck like California? Football=#1, hands down. Baseball lost that status for good with the 1994 strike and Baseball has slipped behind NASCAR. You don't have to like NASCAR but to deny that it is the consistantly higher rated sport, the sport better geared towards young americans and females (it's true, nascar's largest demo is actually 18-34 females) and to use the 'redneck southern' excuse is wrong. When your sport is dominated by corporate america, your top stars are based from California and Indiana (two areas, far from the south) and when your drivers are faces for other products and you are stationed in NY, California, Chicago, Mexico City as a big draw, with crowds over 120,000...you aren't a regional sport. Baseball, could learn alot from NASCAR. -How to promote -How to market players -How to properly punish wrong-doings and how to curb any possible scandal. The faces of NASCAR are young, good-looking, media savvy spokesmen for fortune 500 companies. The faces of MLB, are either unclear or old, bitter and grumpy steroid injected jerks. I love baseball, more so then NASCAR but I'm wise enough to know that Baseball is a mess with everything right now. NASCAR is doing everything, the right way.

Megan? No, the ultimate fat chick name is either Debra or Carrie. Megan, is hit or miss on the fat/hot scale.

My confusion about this show is, why did Ted start telling the story in 2005? If he ends up not meeting their mother until later in the show's run...what was the point in spending time talking about two years that didn't directly connect with the meeting of the mom. Maybe i am influenced by years of watching wrestling, but im waiting for the pointless swerve.

Not really, see Flair would actually be good for this match. Flair is over, especially in Chicago. He will be arguably the #1 face in the match, although the dueling "RVD!" and "WHOO!" chants will be intersting/annoying. He would only be expected to take one or two bumps, and he showed a couple months ago that he is capable of taking a ladder/table bump. Flair will be involved because he'll make the crowd even hotter when he does his usual routine and cheats like crazy. Flair's presence would add to the match, more then using someone like Matt Hardy, whom would just bump and get the girls excited. Flair, for the crowd and the marks would add interest because Flair is much more credible to win the match then Matt freakin' Hardy is.
