Awesome. "Bleed for this" should be the catchphrase for his next shirt. Good direct to the point promo.

Stevie will get a James Gibson run with ROH.

What do you want? Exploding glass tubes? HIAC isn't about a big bump, it's about hatred. There was nothing by the numbers about the match. Blood doesn't need to paint the canvas to be a quality brawl. They had a very nuanced match with great pacing and tremendous element of storytelling through it. The finish to the match was spot-on to play back all the way to the very start of this entire deal. That's textbook and it worked. Yes, the post-match antics was entertainment-heavy but the match itself was far removed from anything close to paint by numbers performance.

I appreciate that the match ended in the fashion that it began when Edge attacked 'Taker at Survivor Series.

I guess there's a chance they might go outside of the cell, since they haven't done that since HHH vs Y2J at Judgment Day '02. The TLC element will be played up tonight, so expect a Last Ride off the ladder through the table tonight.

That wasn't a carry job. Khali played a hand in making the match not completely suck.

Now, for my next pick. He'll be strictly used as a bodyguard/enforcer which is something that I haven't added yet. 911

I'm going to go ahead and speed this up and get the next three draft selections on the board On behalf of Stevie Kick Consequences Creed ------------------------------- On behalf of Franchise Karen Angle

I really wanted Prazak. That means no announcers for me.

Yes, we are skipping him. He still has alot of selections left. Has he said anything since he briefly returned?

-Robert Downey Jr.

Officially, Foley is selling the attack from Edge. In reality, Tazz will be a permanent replacement if Foley doesn't get talked back into returning.

What elementary schools are back in session right now? I'm thinking he operates a day care center.

Scott Goldman=Colt Cabana.

I almost went with The Missing Link about 12 rounds ago and passed him and actually forgot him. Good addition to your group.

A name can become marketable if the person with the name is over enough and is in turn pushed enough. Cabana's name is no different then John Cena as a name in and of itself. Hell, Bill Goldberg is the most generic name in wrestling history and it worked out pretty well for him. There's also many examples of good names for people who went nowhere.

The best part was Henry's reaction.

How is that even run by the same people?

That was a nice run of looks only females in the previous round.

Edge-Taker will main event. Cena-Batista will get the mid-spot to keep away from the HIAC match.

Agreed. The insertion of "you think you know me" when Edge starts beating down Chavo was an excellent touch. That was indeed a nice touch as was other stuff like Foley's "Am I understood" ringing in the background.

I don't think the angle has enough legs to reach WM. WWE learned a lesson recently in stretching things too far in hopes to save it for WM. It'd be an ideal blow-off at Survivor Series. Which would give each men plenty of time to build up whatever would be in store for them at WM. It has been a throughly entertaining storyline right from the start all the way back to the night after WM and I do have strong faith that they will maintain this level of quality but I don't think it can stretch beyond this fall. It'd be a welcome change to see a storyline actually build for an entire year but I'm doubtful it can and would happen without sacrificing the quality it has enjoyed to this point.

Shawn has been doing these teased retirements and lengthy absences for the past few years, so doing it again doesn't have much effect. The fans have become conditioned to believe Shawn comes back in 3 months. It'd be a departure from the typical HBK angle to actually have Shawn fight through the injuries.

That's what I'm thinking He doesn't seem like a guy who would be riding bikes. Explain that. How does Randy Orton come off as a guy who wouldn't ride a motorcycle? There's no criteria to fulfill to be motorcycle rider.

Remember, he already has McMahon and Bischoff. Yet, based off one episode, he wants Mike Adamle to be the authority figure. He has another pick as well.
