Hawk 34

Oh, shut the fuck up.

I noticed the time has been extended to 11:10.

It shouldn't be. It wasn't a classic but it was paced and booked quite well. Every elimination worked and didn't hurt anyone. Kane and BDV have a short little segment with BDV getting the upper hand but Kane never loses his heat, so BDV looks strong there. Mysterio took it to Umaga but got killed for it, so that helps both men. Kennedy jobbed but that was because BDV splashed him, again putting over BDV's size. Jeff and HHH worked to get BDV out which helped all three. Jeff avenges his brother's injury by taking MVP out. Finlay ate a pedigree as someone had to fall to it but since Finlay turned at the end, it's not a big deal. Umaga got pinned by the two top faces with their finishers. One of the better booked SS matches in awhile.

Wear this tonight!

I believe the time sets for 9:32 when the clock ends.

Lesnar, big dude during his era, hates WWE, makes a perfect person to be there. Hall, known drug addict during his days, would make a key witness to 90's WWF. I'm sure we won't see Cena or Punk at these hearings. Lesnar will be pretty busy during this anyways, he has zero relevance to the case in hand. If they wanted to attack WWE for their bullshit contracts, Lesnar would be the first person to be called up. Hall isn't a relevant name for this. Hall wouldn't burn his bridge anyways. Piper and Roberts would be more likely and suitable names for that spot. Cena will def. be invited as he's the FACE of the promotion. Edge, Chavo, Angle and Mysterio are locks to be called up given their main event status and connections to the busts. Chavo has documented close relationships with the two biggest names to die.

I think with the talent exchange, the best bet might be someone coming over from Smackdown, just because I agree with you that ECW needs some new blood. Noble would be a good feud. I'd personally like to see a feud with Tommy, down the line, that would lead to a heel turn, although I don't know what ECW face Punk would feud with then. Mark Henry is a Smackdown heel who isn't really all that busy. I would've said Finlay but they appear to have turned him face tonight.

Why would Lesnar be there? He was never named in a bust and isn't a pro wrestler anymore. Might as well call up Shamrock. Angle will be brought up. What relevance does Scott Hall have in this? None. Hogan wouldn't do any good since he's a retired name and he wouldn't say anything groundbreak to warant his involvment. Non talent involved would more likely be those who have rallied against WWE and the business as a whole over the past years.

That shouldn't happen. UT needs to carry the title going into WM. Maybe Edge wins the title from Batista but he has to drop it to UT before WM with the idea being Edge says he won't lose this time around because he'll be the one to end the streak which means the world to UT like the title means the world to him.

Assuming they bother to duplicate the 1999 debut, it'd have to be Orton or Kennedy.

How about Edge already beat Batista multiple times and he wouldn't have trouble beating him since he'd be the #1 contender right away and in doing so sent a message to UT by taking him out before UT could get him. That is just far too logical.

NE would just flip the #1 pick for a handful of draft picks.

I don't think they will lose, I just expect them to given the course of this season.

My full thoughts on this show CM Punk Vs John Morrison Vs Miz -Fairly good opener to get the crowd into the show. People might nag about a world title being an opener but it’s not a world title on the level of the other matches. All three men worked well together here including that ‘Rana-power bomb spot. Punk going over strong was the logical choice to make here. There wasn’t much in the way of dramatics in a fairly predictable match but the work was good and the crowd was into it. Now, we'll see where Punk goes from here. MVP gave a very strong promo and put himself over effectively. Divas Tag Team Match -Many feared this match coming in but we got something better and I don’t think it’s a case of lowered expectations. Everyone busted their ass in this match and I’ll applaud them for it. Melina’s botched entrance was good and the second attempt was comical. The match was paced very well, hardly any slow-down at all. This is about as good as you can book a 10 woman tag match with limited workers. The faces’ making a collective effort to contain Beth Phoenix was a good touch at the end. The right girl went over as Mickie took out the entire heel group outside of Beth, so that could lead to something but it’s not likely as they appear to be waiting for Candice to return. Usually a crowd doesn’t care about divas matches unless the promise of skin is evident but they got the crowd into it here, so that is a plus. Redneck Wrecking Crew Vs Holly and Rhodes -The least meaningful match was also the least memorable match of the night. That doesn’t mean it was a dud. It felt more like a TV match but kudos for the Redneck Destroyer finish. The backstage skit with Team HHH was cute with Kane bringing up Katie Vick (which is now the second time in a month they have referenced it) and Jeff bringing up the time HHH put Jeff in the hospital. I appreciate they bothered to explain why they were able to team together. Survivor Series Match -The match itself was pretty average but I strongly agreed with the booking. In hindsight, booking it as a 4 on 5 match was a better decision then Matt being obliterated by the heels or having a replacement involved. The eliminations were done quite nicely here. Kane gets pinned with ease to put over BDV and his size in a good segment between the two. Umaga murdering Mysterio was good for both men. At this point, it was 4 on 2 and I’m sure many feared the HHH solo sweep and that didn’t happen. The teamwork between Jeff and HHH was good here. HHH pins Kennedy but it was mostly because of BDV. Jeff and HHH teamed to take out BDV again put over BDV and his size. Jeff taking out MVP to avenge his brother’s injury was a good touch that I expected but not in the middle of the match. Finlay eats a Pedigree as someone had to job to it but given the events of later that night, it doesn’t hurt Finlay. Jeff and HHH double to take out Umaga keeps Umaga strong enough and makes Jeff look like he was on the same level as HHH. Hornswoggle Vs Khali -This had train wreck written all over it but it actually delivered here. It was all comedy as it should have been. Shane as a cheerleader for Hornswoggle was cute. Hornswoggle busting out the green mist was a good spot and the most important event, the apparent Finlay face turn which illicted a huge response from the crowd. This could have been dreadful but it wasn't. Shawn Vs Orton -This match took some time to get going but the end stretch was pretty fun stuff. Shawn busting out old submission finishers was a good touch even if the moves themselves are questionable, especially the cross face which is likely to draw the most attention. Crowd popped huge for it, so they didn’t seem bothered and I’m betting a good deal of casuals didn’t even make the correlation. The finish was good and logical. Shawn wants to hit SCM but hesitates and in doing so, loses the match. This didn’t need a Montreal finish and I’m glad they resisted the urge. Some will probably bitch about the post match spot, I'm sure. Hell in a Cell -Another match that took awhile but it really finished strong. Batista and Undertaker exchanging big blows and finishers in a pool of blood was expected but that didn’t deter from being effective. The finish with Edge was intense with Edge completely laying UT to waste in a vicious and thoroughly effective beat down. The second chair shot was sickening. Edge really came off as a mega heel here and this being the first block of the build to WM really set it off for a good direction. This was easily the best PPV from WWE this year.

who won ? what was the finish? Orton won when HBK wanted to hit SCM but stopped himself and got nailed with the RKO. The match also involved a sharpshooter, ankle lock and crossface from Shawn.

This was a very strong show from top to bottom. Easily the best PPV from WWE in awhile.

It's a good, if not great show. Everyone is at the chat. Shawn did the sharpshooter, ankle lock and crossface. MOTN? Probably the HIAC when it's over.

How is it running up the score? Should NE sit on its ass and punt the ball every time?

No, TSM chat right here. Look at the top of the screen.

everyone moved to the chat.

Kennedy has already done that. I would have to say Chavo, not Kennedy. Kennedy went on record saying he never used roids and got busted weeks later.

Not true. America needs OSU out. It's on you WVU. They'll fucking blow it against Pittsburgh.

But...the Ravens...they got screwed..idiots lol heh..mmm START BOLLER. Oh, pretty HD...

So, me and Human Fly will get a tie?

Fuck. Dallas will win. Marvin is slightly less bothered. What a shame. Edit: Dallas couldn't run the clock off. Hope lingers.
