Hawk 34

The operating table will be busy monday morning in Cincinnati...

It's over now. So much for this game being the "best game of the weekend" like many were predicting.

They have all this space to fill, it wouldn't hurt to throw in a PPV "BONUS" match like Benjamin with his Mama against Chavo or Murdoch or something but im sure it'll be Snitsky/Tomko Vs Venis/Viscera instead.

Tampa/Washington wasn't neccesarily boring. This game however? yes.

It was reported/rumored they would do a part ii of the dvd based off the success of the first one but I figured it was scrapped. Is this another 3 disc edition? There's alot of stuff left to place onto a best of flair dvd that could easily fill up another 3 discs.

I'll make my predictions before I forget... Washington 16 Tampa Bay 12 Jacksonville 7 New England 24 Carolina 23 New York 27 Pittsburgh 20 Cincinnati 24

Davari doesn't look like a cruiser considering how he has added mass and is Angle's flunky. Chavo's on Raw and I don't think they want to bring him back into the CW ranks right now, even if for one night and they refuse to put Helms in the CW. I have a feeling Mexi-Cools will be involved with MnM for the tag titles, keeping them busy. London/Kendrick aren't getting pushes which means Knoble/Kash for the title would be the best bet. Knoble is a master at those 5-8 minute matches within the WWE style.

Those guys took alot of they use (especially in Benoit's case) from Dynamite. DK was a true revolutionary figure. You werent looking at his best stuff. Hell, even his tag work in WWF were incredible.

If only brother Eli did this shit to Peyton.

I'm still waiting for Lita to get pissed off at Edge during a lover's spat and take the contract and cash it herself and steal the title shot (they can make up some stupid wwe-ized logic for how Lita could do that).

This is why Orton+Melina would have worked so much better. Melina would give Orton the heat he needs, puts him that program with Batista using the whole "Orton knows Batista better then anyone else on SD" excuse. Henry should have been in Orton's place considering Benoit took Henry out long ago. How is Orton supposed look like a credible world title contender when he can't beat Benoit for the US title after owning him in 2004?

Juventud intentionaly extended the match time, Henry didn't do it on purpose.

They should just stick Hogan in a tag match instead of letting Hogan fulfill his ego by giving him a main event caliber singles match. That way he doesn't have carry the workload, he can get the hot-tag pop and go over and doesn't have waste some-one like Angle.

Does this mean Crazy/Psicosis have to surrender the Mexi-Cool gimmick? or will they just pretend Juvy never existed? I'm surprised Juventud lasted this long, I'm sure he'll find indy work(though, ROH is not going to occur) and maybe international stuff or he'll end up dead in a street corner.

Didn't ABC get a Super Bowl or two during that time period? Because if USC and Texas got better ratings than the Super Bowl, then I'm really impressed. ABC got a 40.7 rating for Tampa/Oakland and 43.2 for Tennessee/St. Louis.

Foley would be the heel here. He could cut his standard smart promos and point out Hogan's ego (something WWE has no problem talking about) and how Hogan was a selfish performer while Foley will put himself over as the ultimate professional who gave everything he had for the fans (whom didn't appreciate his efforts until he put a sock on his hand). Foley would be smart enough to come across as a bitter jerk because Hogan can't be a heel here. Hogan counters by saying Foley used his success in the business to pursue fame and money outside just as much as Hogan did. WWE loves to do shooty type angles(Matt/Edge and Shawn/Hogan for recent examples), this would be nothing but shoot-filled goodness. Foley could carry the program in promos alone if he is motivated and for a WM payoff against a name like Hogan? He'll bring his game. As for the match? it'd be a train-wreck but Foley will go into Shawn mode, and completely over-sell everything. I still believe Hogan would be better off against Orton and Foley against Edge.

I'm shocked WWE isn't wanting to do an Orton/Hogan program considering that's the biggest legend left for Orton and it gives their golden boy of today a high-profile match since Austin/Hogan is basically off. They have already done Angle-Hogan, and there's nothing to come out of it. Hogan really shouldn't have an issue with working against Orton since Orton is constantly a main eventer and the set-up is easy and there's even a backstory with Orton Jr. I'd rather see that occur instead of having to see Angle wasted with Hogan and Orton placed with Batista. Angle's options should be limited to Undertaker or Benjamin. We know Benjamin isn't getting a main event profile match. Undertaker usually does Raw Vs Smackdown match for Mania anyways, and there's no current *it* program for UT on smackdown beyond Batista and that's really not neccessary for Mania. Here's how I think Smackdown's side should be used World Title Batista Vs Mysterio -I think Batista is going to carry the belt through WrestleMania and Mysterio is such an unconventional challenger that actually makes sense. I believe this could be a good match and it'd be a great chance to make each look good. It would be face/face but I'd like to see Mysterio play dirty to over-come his disadvantages in this match. Undertaker Vs Kurt Angle (or Chris Benoit) -Undertaker needs a big program and instead of tossing another big man towards his way for a shitty match, why not send WWE's workforce? Angle and Benoit are credible enough that the streak can be challenged in the minds of the fans but aren't going to lose their credibility by jobbing to UT at Mania. It'd be nice for 'Taker to have a good match to point at in his streak and those two are the best choices. Randy Orton Vs Hulk Hogan US Title JBL Vs Bobby Lashley -I'd have match seven with Benoit/Booker declared a draw and that the title is vacant. They have a smackdown one night tournament for the title. JBL goes over Hardy in the finals to win the title. Lashley is named the #1 contender. JBL does what JBL does and Lashley remains the quiet assassian. Match would be a squash in Lashley's favor. *I'd have Booker T work as guest commentator on the smackdown side of the show* WWE Tag Team Titles Elimination match MnM Vs Kendrick and London Vs Regal and Burchill Vs Mexi-Cools -Simple set up here, MnM the over confident champions issue an open challenge and all three are identified as #1 contenders. In reality, London/Spanky would be replaced with LOD 2005. Cruiserweight Title Kid Kash Vs Jamie Knoble -on Heat of course. As far as Boogeyman, Kennedy and Matt Hardy (the only big names left on Smackdown). Obviously, Kennedy is injured but I'd have him the ring announcer for at least one match and Boogeyman can do some backstage skit that Vince will no doubt think is comedic gold. As for Matt Hardy? fuck Matt Hardy. What do I do for Raw, while im at it? WWE Title John Cena Vs Triple H -It's going to happen. No sense in denying it. It'll be interesting to see how they work around Cena's issue. World Tag Team Titles The Big Show and Kane Vs Benjamin and Haas -Okay, this is far-fetched. However, since Haas has been reported to returning to WWE and a part of Raw, it's only logical they would reunite WGTT in some form. Let's be real, Benjamin isn't going anywhere as a singles star for right now. Remember, Bret returned to tag teams after a singles stint, it didn't hurt Bret. Unless WWE throws together a paired-up team like Masters/Carlito(which I wouldn't be shocked). This works because they can sell it as a younger, faster team with championship past. It'd be a much more interesting match then what we will actually get. IC Title Chris Masters w/Carlito Vs Rob Van Dam -Quite frankly, I don't see Flair keeping the title, and i have something else in mind for Edge. I'd figure Masters to win the title from Flair soon and I'd have Carlito act as his mouthpiece because I believe WWE values Masters more then Carlito. RVD is scheduled to return to TV soon and they usually place him in the IC/tag title ranks. Don't forget, RVD has heat with Carlito. Edge Vs Mick Foley -I think this would be a decent street fight between the two and Foley's signed for at least two matches a year, might as well use one on a big stage and see if it can get Edge over like it did Orton. The promos and set-up could be very good. Woman's Title Mickie James Vs Trish Stratus -I would expect some multi-woman match here but I'd rather see these two continue the program leading to the WM blowoff. *The only issue is that Benoit/Angle, one of them is getting left off for right now because one will work with Undertaker. If they do Angle/Hogan, then Benoit/Taker is a no-brainer but that leaves Orton off the card, which is desirable but isn't going to occur. Maybe Angle can slide into the main event making it a triple threat match? Oh, what about Shawn? Vince/Shawn will happen. There's no way out of it now. Although, I'd have Shawn turn at NYR and take the title from Cena and do Cena/Michaels for Mania. Leaving Triple H for...someone else.

Kenzo held a title? Maybe he did, I dont remember it.

That was some fucking game and this only means Texas/USC fails to live up to the hype.

If I am a high school kicker and Bobby Bowden shows up on my door-step, I lock the door.

Okay, anyone wish VT was here now?

Because of you > Since you been gone > Behind these hazel eyes. there is no such argument against this. Clarkson, is without question the only enjoyable mainstream female pop vocalist. That doesn't make her great but you can't hear those songs and avoid liking them on some level.

With his movie credits, he should have been brought in as MNMs enforcer. It uses Giant Singh in the only way you can and it fits with Melina's character to bring in a hollywood "star".
