Hawk 34

Vixen. Yikes, flashback to Sunny and Missy.

I'm a lumberjack and that's ok.

I gotta know who Macho Libre is. He deserves a push.

Is this the mexican Randy Savage?

10 years later and he is still using Raven to get himself over.

They will run out of jobbers for TBS by mid-july.

I guess we will neglect TBS's various hardcore title reigns?

That was basically the Bushwackers on roids.

Nothing like a pot reference followed by shot of 10 year old kids.

Jericho AND Mr. WHOA! himself? AWESOME.

If anything, it'll be Punk.

They are smart to start the show off with a Sabu stunt squash because interest is high on Sabu and the curiosity factor is obviously there. Much better start then last week as well as darkening the arena.

Looks like they took all the chairs out and are having the fans stand to make a "tighter" appearence. Oooh and now the darken the arena. Nice touch and I like how the front row is all bearded big biker men.

It's actually a true story. The generator gave out literally seconds after the PPV ended. I love Raven's addition to that story where Raven recalls a frantic Heyman going nuts because of how tight time was and Raven was telling Paul "Shut up, Paul. It's going to be fine", and Raven tells how he timed the entire finish in his head to the precise moment while Heyman was screaming for him to rush it, Raven just laughed at Heyman. I love any Raven stories on Heyman. He gives one of the best impressions of Heyman.

That was a cute moment with the Valentin's tonight.

Why be blunt when you know it just leads to another $250,000. Now he can say he didn't say anything mean but everyone knows what was really being said. Cuban Vs Stern is Austin/McMahon redux only this time the rebel has the bad hair.

You are aware that the "best friends" line was a shot at Stern right?

Cuban is a WWE fan. Cuts a complete promo while drenched in sweat and makes subtle comments yet retains his character.

I hate how the ballot is written before the season even begins because usually players aren't even in that spot or with that team or aren't on the ballot at all. Write-in votes aren't always going to help.

Who said it was a problem?

One of the most fun things about the ASG voting is the "a player from all teams must be on the roster" ruling and you always get that one player from a shit team that knows he shouldn't be there and that he took a spot from a deserving player.

Don't neglect that Nathan Jones will star in The Condemned with Austin.

So you are basically saying you would have wanted Austin to win the WWF title at No Way Out instead of WrestleMania XIV with the largest possible viewing crowd for WWF. BFG is TNA's WM. Joe winning the title will be their Austin @ WMXIV. They want BFG to be the big event and you draw more people in by virtually making it clear that Joe is taking the title away from Jarrett or Sting. You draw that crowd, put on a bang of a show, grab them for the next PPV where Joe has (presumably) his first major title defense.

Joe challenging for the NWA Title and winning it is something the people want to see, and, more importantly, will pay to see, whether it's obvious or not. The biggest draws are the ones with obvious finishes. Everyone KNEW Austin was beating Michaels or Goldberg over Hogan. People will happily pay $30 bucks to see Joe pin Jarrett or Sting or anyone for that matter.

Not to mention this entire show basically has 2 weeks worth of hype going for it. Which isn't that different from the norm really.
