Considering the fact that Punk's best friends are big drinkers, it shouldn't be that surprising that he's comfortable with his girl being a smoker. In fact, one of the funniest things ever was the video footage of punk, cabana, daivari, joe and romero/reyes (one of them) outside a bar. a sXer can have friends who aren't edge. It's not in the "rulebook" that they cant be with non-edgers.

Punk signed with the WWE for one reason DIVA SEARCH.

Dance, make out with your girlfriend. Which is what Punk is doing.

How so? Taker is easily as over as Batista, if not more. I say give the Taker his last run as champion before he retires, and let someone next year like Lashley or Ken Kennedy, or any up and comer end his streak. Neither Lashley nor Kennedy will be established enough by Wrestlemania to justify them breaking the streak. Lashley hasn't worked a program with even a midcarder, and unless I missed something (and it's possible), Kennedy won't be healed until shortly before Wrestlemania. He's saying put the title on Lashley or Kennedy, by WM23. At least, I would hope because otherwise it would be a monumentially stupid idea on all counts to even give Taker another title run and put Lashley in the drivers seat.

Nash was a few days short of a year but the last to go a full year was, Savage.

That settles it. Daniels botched a spot 5 years ago. Clearly he isn't remotely talented as Kurt Angle. The obvious answer is Daniels.

That was one shitty ass finish to a game. Missed PAT? Fuck

WM6.

The next tag team champions.

After he scored the TD, he went to the sidelines looking for his prop but couldn't find it and was running around looking for it. Meanwhile the officials were telling him his time was up, so CJ got off the field and a couple minutes later ran up to the fans and had a giant "santa bag" and threw out autographed items like shirts, shoes and footballs to the fans.

Chad Johnson plays santa claus today. That was pure comedy watching Chad Johnson run around the field looking for the bag.

You do realize that he'll be a star wherever he ends up, right?

Punk didn't waste time in OVW moving on from Traci... http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/xcm...irstpics110.jpg http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a354/xcm...irstpics111.jpg

I found WrestleMania X7 at a bargin bin a year ago for $5. Considering how high this dvd goes for, that was a huge steal.

The smart thing to do is, do Rey/Batista because it would be a completely fresh match and something different and the crowd would be into that, it's not like it'll headline Mania anyways. In WWE's eyes, why waste a draw like Taker/Batista when you can save it for the next SD ppv (Judgment Day) and use Rey-Batista instead. Undertaker needs to wrestle Benoit or Angle. Quite frankly, those should be the only options.

Doing Batista/Taker is pointless because there is nothing to gain, no matter what direction they go with. Undertaker beating Batista for the title just to prolong the streak hurts Batista and hurts the promotion as well. Batista getting the "honor" of ending the streak does nothing for him because he can't go anywhere with it. While it's a much better option then Orton/Batista, there's nothing to gain from it.

They are showing the last great Eddie match right now. edit: I might not had the right match in mind.

I had sex with the devil because I was high.

WrestleMania 22 WWE Title John Cena Vs Kurt Angle Vs Shawn Michaels Vs Triple H *Triple H Vs John Cena would be an atrocious mess, and obviously Triple H would come off look superior all throughout the feud. This allows more of dramatic balance and gives HBK and Angle something to do. Let’s face it, they won’t give Benjamin that big of a program @ WM with Shawn or Angle and they don’t have anything on Smackdown to use. Save the Angle/HBK rubber match for some other time.* World Title Mysterio Vs Batista *Batista/Orton or Batista/Undertaker are the popular picks for mania, and understandably so. However, Orton has been jobbed out and he has virtually zero credibility left in him, and the Undertaker’s streak shouldn’t be ended by someone who doesn’t need the rub because Batista gains nothing from it. Mysterio is a fresh breath and this would provide a much more interesting and entertaining match for Mania. Also, Mysterio would be brought by the fans as a legitimate contender to beat Batista with the right booking. Mysterio has to win the rumble for this to work. There’s no reason Mysterio shouldn’t be given this spot, he earned it for being a great worker that has a large support group behind him and is arguably, Smackdown’s top baby face.* Hulk Hogan Vs Steve Austin *The definitive MONEY match. That’s the only reason for this match, it’ll be far from a work-rate clinic but the heat should be incredible for this match and you can assure that this, would be a buy-rate machine* The Undertaker Vs Chris Benoit *Obviously, Benoit’s contract status is up in the air right now however we are pretending he stays with WWE. Undertaker’s next and hopefully, FINAL notch on his streak should be an impressive one that lends it more credibility that the fans would actually be more willing to accept. The streak shouldn’t end now, last year was the perfect opportunity and they passed on it. Chris Benoit won’t win but he’d give Undertaker his best Mania performance yet and it’ll be something of a reward for Benoit, to get a higher profile program for Mania. WWE Tag Team Titles Triple Threat Ladder Match MnM Vs Mexi-Cools Vs Kendrick and London *Simple enough. 3 high-flying tag teams in a spot-fest like no other.* World Tag Team Titles The Big Show and Kane Vs Three Minute Warning *Right now, Raw nor Smackdown has any remaining tag team threats for Kane and TBS. We all know Jamal was re-hired by WWE and they shouldn’t do that silly Cena idea but rather just bring back 3MW, with Eric Bischoff discovering a loophole that legally he has a license to manage, 3MW, so he is still under employment as a manager. It’s be a classic battle of size Vs speed.* IC Title Rob Van Dam Vs Shelton Benjamin *RVD will return very soon and be tremendously over. It’d be too early to jump him into the main event. So, RVD falls back into this position. It’s be acrobatic contest between the two and nothing more. Spot fans will eat this up and “purists” will spit on it. Does it need the IC title? Likely not.* US Title JBL Vs Lashley *I’d have JBL somehow win the US Title, because that’s where he should be. Lashley will be on a roll and be the natural #1 contender. This would be a near squash.* Edge Vs Mick Foley *I’m not even sure if Edge will be healed by Mania time but assuming that he is, I’d stick him with Foley. It’d be a pretty good promo feud and I’m thinking these two could work a solid short brawl* Woman’s Title Mickey James Vs Trish Stratus *No explanation needed* Cruiserweight Title Open Invitational Gauntlet Nunzio Vs Juventud Vs Knoble Vs Helms Vs Kash Vs Funaki Vs Chavo *Most likely will be the heat match* *Not sure what to do with Randy Orton, Hardy, Booker, Flair, Carlito, Masters, Bogeyman, Chavo, Murdoch* Orton should have a spot on the card but it can’t be the main event with Batista and he can’t work again with Undertaker, I can’t think of any major Raw Vs Smackdown matches he could be a part of, with the exception of The Rock and that will not occur. He could wrestle Hardy but that’s a pretty dramatic fall. If Hogan-Austin doesn’t pan out, they could go with the predictable Hogan/Orton. It keeps Hogan from the main event, gives Orton purpose and they could save Hogan/Austin for Summer Slam. Flair shouldn’t be on the card but I believe he’ll find his way onto it. Carlito and Masters, as pushed as they have been the last year, need to be on the show but I’m struggling to place them, so perhaps Masters/Carlito/Murdoch/Snitsky Vs Hardy/LOD 2005/Holly RvSD tag match? Booker T will get left off the card again, actually I’d have him be a “guest” commentator for the night with the Smackdown side of things.

I'd like to point out, how good Danielson has been as the champion for Ring of Honor. Since winning the title at Glory By Honor IV over James Gibson in a very good match that has wrongly been overshadowed by the Kobashi/Joe hype. Danielson has had a very solid run with the title with a couple exceptional title bouts already in the start of what appears to be a very healthy reign with the title. The two Strong matches were just setting the table and I have high expectations that the 3rd ROH showdown will be nothing short of awesome. He also has had solid matches with Aries, Corino, Sabin, Daniels and Romero. I have only heard nothing but praise for his match with Marufuji @ FB05. There's alot of nostalgic waxed over Samoa Joe's reign but the truth was, Samoa Joe's reign (4 months in) wasn't nearly as credible and impressive as Danielson's first four months. Danielson's run might not have the buzz that came with Punk's but It's been a great start and it certainly won't slow down.

Heyman can take a big paycheck because Vince would not want TNA to get Heyman, and continue to have his personal playground in Louisville. Low Ki burned his bridges, he will not be in TNA again for awhile, if ever again. Cabana would be a great addition to the roster and Danielson is a no-brainer.

Are you trying to make a point here? If someone is as hot as Kobe appears to be tonight, you let him go all out especially since the game is wrapped up for them.

The carver had to be a let-down, no matter what.

Anyone could have looked into the company records but it's a matter of knowing how to perform, which eliminates many suspect favorites. Liz and Quintin are obviously the two most likely potential carvers. They could swerve us but it wouldn't be realistic unless they can show us how the carver had the ability to perform those things on Kimber. Really good episode tonight.

I wonder if Mondo or Chavo Sr had wanted to do the show instead, would Vince tell the direct family of Eddie's that they couldn't use Eddie's best friends for a memorial show? Of course he wouldn't let them.
