Hawk 34

NRC and Briscoes/Stevens closed the show with Briscoes/Stevens taking the win. I thought the notion that some fans thought CM Punk would appear on the show since he was working out in the ring before show started is comical.

I still can't believe Ainge cost me the title. From the Dust Bowl to the TSM equivalent of the Poinsettia Bowl.

OSU-Georgia will end up being an all-time classic and the BCS will simply say "See? Told ya!".

Because of the nasty weather? Edit: Apparently a few of the wrestlers were in a wreck

So, you want to go back to the same old routine of the Undertaker winning the title at WM instead of having to put everything on the line because of some irrlevant and unconnected ironic circumstance?

I don't think Whitmer and Jacobs ever touched each other. I didn't even notice that. Results Claudio d. Skyfire Delirious d. Pearce via tap out on camera stand Hero d. Jigsaw Briscoes d. NRC (MOTN) Danielson d. Butcher via tap out Nigel d. Silas Young Richards d. Tornado and Stevens Aries d. Strong 4-3 with a awkward finish confusing the crowd Evans and Ruckus win Scramble in high flying bodies everywhere spotfest Pretty good show from top to bottom.

Henry has had some good matches before but not with slugs like 'Taker. He had a really good match with Mysterio, I believe about a year ago. In other words, Henry needs a small guy to bump his ass off for him. Which is why I support the supposed Henry-Punk deal that's coming up.

House always takes a hiatus around this time of the year anyways. They want to have somethng to hold during January while the other networks will start throwing out the reality stuff. Is House still planned for the post Super Bowl spot?

You keep the title on Batista after Armageddon with Undertaker winning the big blowoff match at RR with Edge barred from ringside. That's 7 weeks of build, which wouldn't be hard. No Way Out can be a Kane/Undertaker against Edge and whichever heel they want to slot with Kane. Maybe Edge "rents" BDV to take out UT for a couple weeks. The booking isn't that hard. The point is, Undertaker chasing the title is just the same old routine.

Exactly. It's right into Edge's character to want to end everything that means anything to Undertaker, title and streak,all at once. Otherwise, we're getting the usual chickenshit heel runs from UT's magical games build. That's fine for Mark Henry but Edge can do more.

I really hope those people who were so angry about Ledger being named for this role (HE PLAYED A GAY COWBOY! HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!) feel stupid now.

I could see Batista winning with Edge and 'Taker killing each other and he picks up the scrap. I'd like to see them do a 'Taker-Batista rematch at RR (With the thinking that since Edge screwed the fans out of a decisive winner, they'll finally have a one-on-one match with Edge and all ringside interference barred). UT wins it there and Edge is the natural #1 contender going into WM, (RR/EC win not neccesary but probable). 'Taker has to have the belt going into WM. It's the one thing he has yet to do (defend a title).

Good idea. Keep Punk from getting exposure on the B show.

I think he meant this.

This has been a good crowd. They even popped for Kelly's "offense".

They could at least mention that during the show. Edit: There we go.

Will they keep refering 13 as such or finally go by her actual name?

Punk will be on the show, right? Although I can't see Kane-BDV going 12 minutes...Punk has to do something, right?

I thought Burke was going to be the mouthpiece for Benjamin. Horrible promo.

I think their going to start the Punk-Benjamin program now.

I stand corrected.

Festus wasn't Fake Kane. That was The Freakin' Deacon. He doesn't remind you of the guy Death was usually in the ring with?

Vince is probably giddy as fuck watching Festus.

Just a little short, Kelly.
