Hawk 34

They'll probably hold off on announcing Flair. After some consideration, I think Jake Roberts will be the first announced. With his rehab stint and thanking WWE for it, I see them rewarding him with a HOF spot.

I like the thought that the news of having a child is a family emergency.

Has Mayweather/Show attracted any attention? I didn't see it mentioned outside of a few blogs away from the wrestling/boxing world.

I was in attendence for that Nitro with a friend and his father. The whole ride home, my friend's father just gave us long glaring looks for making him watch that shitty show. I don't think I went to another WCW show again after that.

At least he managed not to get in trouble, yet. That's the real surprise, not his inability to play basketball to the level he thought he could.

How is that different? It seems like standard booking. Standard booking is the heel being scared of Taker's magic tricks.

It should be noted that WWE has already placed UT/Edge on the WM Matches list while Orton-HHH hasn't. Leading credence to the likelihood that Cena either gets involved or a title change still occurs before WM.

The best part was Mayweather's flunky falling down and nearly tripping TBS.

TBS-Mayweather segment

Explain. The segment was incredible and Mayweather is a legitmate star that the sports media won't trash like Pacman. Edit: As a boxing match? I might agree. I thought you were against the whole thing.

That was a great segment.

Under that circumstance, which would be a horrible way to go, you could just do Batista-Big Show. Not sure how that would be set up, though.

Well, NYR was (rightfully) dropped. Which means it's best placed for NWO to determine the other #1 contender at WM.

Wrong. Only this guy starred in the TNT triology, The Librarian.

As long as it doesn't get used like the ladder was for a period of time where it was used on nearly every PPV and free tv on a consistant basis. They'll probably put away the chamber until next NWO. Which is fine.

Might as well add my own interpretation Wrestle Mania XXIV Orlando, Florida WWE Title John Cena © Vs Triple H -They brought back John Cena for a reason and that was to headline WM24. HHH-Cena II is indeed the biggest probable match they can have with less then 2 months of build. World Championship Undertaker Vs Edge © -This entire thing had such potential but they blew it by going the traditional route and they’ll continue to do so leading to the event. I might even go as far to predict that Edge retains the title but loses via DQ. It wouldn’t be the first DQ win of Taker’s streak so you couldn’t honestly make a claim that the record is tainted by that result. The only circumstance in which I could actually see them doing that is if the MITB winner challenges Edge on the spot. If that were to happen, only one person is over enough to get that deal and we know who that is. ECW Title CM Punk © Vs Umaga -I’d just have Punk win the title back from Chavo and in doing so, piss off Estrada. Estrada recruits his former discovery in Umaga to take out Punk for good. These two ought to click well, maybe make this a Extreme Rules match for good measure. United States Title MVP © Vs Matt Hardy -A match that could have been a major epic match had Matt not gotten himself taken out for such a long period of time. Instead, the momentum is completely halted and unless they can revive it quickly, I’d suggest they push the title change to the next PPV. Woman’s Title Candice Michelle Vs Beth Phoenix © -Candice returns soon and she should target the one who took her out. Simple as that. I’d let the Playboy angle be used for a backstage skit with Maria and Santino instead of giving Maria a match. This shouldn't be more then 5 minutes. Beth either dominates in short fashion or Candice scores a flash pin. Mr. McMahon and JBL w/William Regal Vs Hornswoggle and Finlay -JBL will not be doing anything and he’s a perfect partner for McMahon in this match. Finlay/JBL should be a good enough brawl as well as JBL’s ability on the mic will breathe fresh air into this stale saga. Goofy sports entertainment match that these four would do well in. Retirement Match Ric Flair Vs Shawn Michaels -Might as well put both careers on the line for dramatic effect. Shawn is the best guy who isn’t in the main event (HHH) or not in the company (Sting) for Ric Flair’s final match. This should be the match of the night and get the most time. Money in the Bank Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy, Paul Burchill, Jericho, Kane, Chavo Guerrero, Shelton Benjamin and Kofi Kingston -Jeff Hardy shouldn’t be reduced to yet another ladder match but I can’t see him anywhere else. Kennedy would be attempting to be the first back to back winner. Jericho shouldn’t have fallen down to this level again but he did. Burchill is a good brawler who can take spots and he’s getting a push. Kane is the required big man for this match. Chavo as a former champion earns a right in this match and he’s a good heel for it. Benjamin brings his acrobatic skills. Kingston is a random name thrown in for the sake of rounding it to eight and to even the heel/face balance. Before the injury, I would have placed Mysterio in this match but that shouldn’t be the case now. You could replace Kingston with Dreamer or Noble if you wanted. Jeff would be the clear winner but people might buy Jericho as a potential winner. Battle of Evolution Batista Vs Randy Orton -These guys have a built in history. They are big enough names to warrant a spot on the card but shouldn’t be in the ladder match. Big Show Vs Khali -I’m not entirely convinced TBS is coming back anytime soon but if he does, I can’t see them passing on the “giant” battle with these two. Tag Team Battle Royal London/Kendrick, Redneck Wrecking Crew, Holly and Rhodes, Santino and Carlito, Rated Rmy, Miz and Morrison, Deuce and Domino, Jesse and Festus, Yang and Moore, Elijah Burke and Kenny Dykstra, Henry and BDV, Dreamer and Delaney -This could be used as a filler/opener if they wanted, or a pre-show match which is more likely. Winner is irrelevant.

Orton has Batista. Both will be left in the dark and It's a ready made match. They're big enough names to have a non-title match against each other at this big stage.

People were sympathetic to her story. Simple as that. At least they aren't exploiting the two retards from last year anymore.

Teens don't have the ability to grow beards?

You know, if NBC would openly say "Yes, we're keeping this show on the air", people would be willing to watch it. From the very first week FNL has been on the air, it's been dealing with "will it be canceled" rumors. I can understand why people don't want to risk getting involved into a show that keeps getting talked about cancelation.

Is anyone else disappointed when you see an favorite childhood movie (Sandlot, Little Giants, Mighty Ducks, etc, etc) and realize that the majority of those kids never had much of a career beyond those movies?

How does Duke/UNC not get mentioned?

They don't need another surprise for the sake of a surprise. It's not the main event, Edge is going over regardless.

No sense in doing a one night thing like that especially when Matt has a ready storyline waiting for him. Kane is the suitable replacement. What exactly was the plan for Mysterio at WM anyways? I couldn't see him doing anything outside of a MitB spot.

Why would Vince be worried about the lack of elevation with Flair and Michaels? Beating Flair wouldn't elevate anyone in all honesty. Flair should go out in the best possible match they can give him and right now that is Shawn.
