Hawk 34

It sorta looked like them but probably local jobbers. That'd be an interesting gimmick change for the Majors though.

no way man it was Charlie Haas. You're right, Haas did start wearing the Benoit pants and sport that beard. I still like to think Benoit was in the video though.

Tazz Edit: You meant for good? I'm sure JBL will still commentate until the build to his actual return to the ring comes into play.

Maybe I'm seeing things but why is Benoit in the Rumble ad? Edit: I re-watched it and it was indeed Benoit.

It'd be a interesting promo war, at least. By interesting, I meant JBL will obliterate him.

Who? Jericho and Big Daddy V? Anyways, did Mickie win the Women's title? That match is next, after Orton-Jericho.

No need for the cynicism. Hardy was put over big in this match. HHH winning the Rumble/EC works for him, anyways.

Really? Awesome. HHH went for a pedigree but Hardy countered into a bridge and got the flash pin. HHH rolled around stunned and then smiled at Hardy with a approving nod.

Hardy wins, clean. HHH has a happy, proud reaction.

HBK over Kennedy with "outta nowhere" SCM.

I said this earlier but this match really shows how far Kennedy's star has fallen.

Henry pins Punk with samoan drop, shitty match but good finish.

Looks about the same.

It was one of those oft-rumored DVDs that have yet to actually be produced. TNA has a DVD highlighting tag team wrestling. A WWE version really does need to be made. Just three discs of great tag teams in action (two showcase matches to a team, although some might appear more then twice).

Welcome to a week ago.

More of a policy since they made a big fuss about Styles' inability to tell a story rather just calling the match.

Chris Jericho Vs Randy Orton -Talk about a heatless main event and it completely encapsulate the resounding bust that Jericho’s return has become. While Jericho’s shtick hasn’t changed the slightest bit from his previous tenure with the WWE, it has remained stale as it ever was. The time away has done very little favor to Jericho’s ability to sell a main event match that doesn’t involve The Rock giving everything he could in return. It’s not a matter of his hair, or his vests like some of the more petty members of this place will insist, it’s simply a matter of a heatless heel that lost every bit of momentum built over the summer leading to his title win. They might have a passable to solid wrestling match but to expect anything more then that would be wasted expectations. Jericho, with no momentum and very little support has no grounds to not only win the title but to get a non-finish here. It's time to get back to the drawing board, Jericho. Batista Vs Undertaker Vs Edge -I’ve been quite vocal about my thoughts on what should occur with Edge and Undertaker towards the build for WM. Regardless of what happens tonight, Undertaker needs to carry the title heading into Orlando for WM. ‘Taker could win the title here or at the Rumble, however, ‘Taker has to pin Batista to obtain that in either circumstance. In fact, I see Batista winning here by taking advantage and stealing a pin from the Dead Man on Edge, setting up the unfinished rivalry with those two at the Rumble. Edge would either win the Rumble or the EC match. CM Punk and Kane Vs Henry and BDV -The result has little to no importance here. I’ll say Kane eats a pin from one of the heels, while Punk is laid out by the other. I still endorse my hopes to see Umaga join Striker’s group (since he’s rendered worthless on Raw) and be the next hurdle for Punk by having Umaga be a “mystery” challenger for Punk at Rumble. Umaga dominates and wins the title, leading to Punk chasing him to WM. Triple H Vs Jeff Hardy -Earlier this year, HHH and Orton had been penciled in for WM and once again, it appears those plans have changed in favor of a Batista-HHH match. This wouldn’t be the first time that change occurred. This is a coin flip only because the idea of HHH actually doing the job to Jeff Hardy is jarring but the reality is, HHH isn’t as strong against doing a job, it’s just a matter of how it’s booked. Hardy will win and it’ll be by a dramatic fluke or perhaps by interference from whoever is going to be the winter adversary for Hunter. MVP Vs Mysterio -This is very likely to be the MOTN for tonight’s show as well as the opener. Mysterio has reason to win the title. This is a fine enough filler feud for MVP while Matt recovers. I’ll say we’ll either see a good long match to put over MVP or Mysterio gets a cheap DQ win. Finlay Vs Great Khali -It’ll be the usual comedy match but Finlay will probably be inspired to get something out of Khali. He won’t be successful in that endeavor. Finlay as a face is still bizarre. I’ll hope for Finlay turning on Hornswoggle and having him written off for good. That won’t happen. Khali will win regardless. Mr. Kennedy Vs Shawn Michaels -There was a time this would have been considered a must-see for a WM program and now it’s shuffled into a mid-card end of the year dump feud. Poor Kennedy, that’ll teach him to ruin plans. Kennedy isn’t the darling anymore and Shawn won’t lower himself. Michaels here for a easy win. The real intriguing spot of the night is if Shawn gets frustrated with Kennedy’s poor work. Beth Phoenix Vs Mickie James -They’re just biding time before Candice returns. Beth will score a win in a semi-competitive showing here.

I'm jinxing it, but I'd like a 0-15-1 season for Miami.

The Snow Game in Cleveland has been pretty fun to watch.

Here is Evans, for those who haven't seen him before.

Then he wouldn't be standing with his dick in his hand.

I think that's Charles "The Hammer" Evans.

1. Rev. Billy Graham 2. Henry Dean Stanton 3. Dick Van Patten 4. Pete Doherty 5. Jerry Van Dyke 6. Kirk Douglas 7. Gloria Stuart 8. AJ Foyt 9. Jack La Lanne 10. Ian Paisley 11. Elie Wiesel 12. Smoky Robinson 13. Jean Stapleton 14. Raymond Teller 15. Mr. Fuji -Best Bet- 16. Annette Funicello 17. Don Rickles 18. Michael Gough 19. Artie Lange 20. Margaret Thatcher

If it weren't for Noble and MVP, Smackdown wouldn't be worth watching.

Sting would be foolish to go back to TNA.
