I will predict that the following people are moved: Hurricane to Smackdown Tajiri to Smackdown Grenier to Smackdown Eugene to Smackdown Haas to Raw Jindrak to Raw Morgan to Raw

It does if you consider that Eugene and Heidenreich don't HAVE to team up. It would make sense for Snitsky and Heidi to team and or feud, and would get Eugene away from Bischoff, Regal, HHH, etc. and give him a fresh start. I'm not saying I want any of this, but it would make sense.

Women's Championship on Smacdown? I realize the only other women's wrestler on Raw is Victoria, but who does Smackdown have? If anything, Trish is turning face soon, and she will have Vicky and Lita to feud with.

Or as my dad always says: Don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

I see it is your first post on TSM. Generally, the moderators and posters prefer that you scan at least the first page to see if there is already a thread that you could post your thoughts in before creating a new thread. This keeps multiple threads down, and allows for easier discussion of a topic. I'm just letting you know and not trying to be rude. It will save you from hearing a lot of negative reactions. You might want to check out the TSM posting guidelines, as well as each folder's guidelines, if applicable.

Well, if you notice, he landed almost solely on his left leg/hip (the good one), and rolled immediately to that side to prevent almost any impact at all to the right one (bad one).

Batman Begins also had a $100 million marketing campaign, so technically it hasn't turned a profit yet. However, counting the profit it will still be making in theaters and overseas, DVD sales/rentals, video game sales/rentals, merchandise, and toys, I'd say it is a safe bet that it will turn profit.

Which will bite them in the ass if they keep doing the bait and switch and not going through with the advertised match as Raw has been doing lately.

I cannot wait for him to come back if they can work it out. However, I do agree that the boys in the back won't be as accepting. How's this for a compromise? On screen, Brock is brought back at the point where he left off. In the back when the cameras aren't rolling, he pays some dues and carries some vets' bags and such. That way, they can still make their money with him, but not feel like he betrayed them and came back scot free.

The song is actually titled "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth.

Also, Batista was using a pretty nice one legged crab with a knee to the back. That could work for him as it is simple, hurts the back which takes a beating from his power moves, and could be played up as lethal because of his power. And yeah, they should definitely build the clothesline back up.

Anyone remember an interview with Show recently that said Kurt Angle was on him about training, eating right and getting back in shape? That could be enough to start an "unbeatable" angle. If Show got back in good shape and showed an improved physique, he could logically be booked as unstoppable.

I have Begins on PS2, and I like the game. I understand what you said about making the League of Shadows training longer, but I think it was just a clever way to introduce you to the basic controls. The game reminds me a little of Splinter Cell with teaching you how to do all these moves, and then doing a lot of stealth work. I like the fact that you unlock movie scenes and alternate costumes from different eras. This game is fun and passes the time. Requires some thinking and strategy as well. Oh yeah, and getting to watch the movie again for free with the movie pass also kicks some ass!

Doesn't the DVD of ONS come out on Tuesday? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If so, forget I ever mentioned that idea.

Also, it wasn't like Meanie was "running his mouth" on JBL. He said in an interview that Bradshaw was behind a lot of the childish pranks and hazing that was making its rounds on the net. JBL got pissed because someone called him for what he is/was.

4:30 start time for a 6:00 show is normal. There is no way they could tape SD and do the necessary changes before Raw started live. Raw will be live (at least for those of us on the east coast), then SD will be taped afterward.

At first the idea of Smackdown becoming an ECW-style show seemed possible to me, but as soon as they drafted Orton, which pretty much guaranteed Taker was staying on SD as well, it just seems like that won't be the case. I guess they could do ECW vs. WWE loyalists, but that would pair up faces and heels on Smackdown, and would not be good TV in my opinion. I think the best we can shoot for is for ECW to be given it's own show, separate from Raw and SD, possibly around the time of the release of the DVD.

If Bisch does leave Raw, I would like to see him leave via a "promotion" to WWE President kind of like the Jack Tunney role from the past. Vince is still the god of WWE, but Bischoff got promoted for his 3 plus years of service. His role would be making decisions on titles, matches, etc, like Tunney used to do. Appearances would be kept to a minimum, and the GM's of the two shows would be toned down in importance. I would have both GM's be neutral as well, with the heels being pissed off with just about every decision because they think evilly or irrationally, and the faces not liking every decision, but accepting it for the most part because they are just there to do their jobs.

The total misuse of Batista since his title win has also been a big factor of why WWE sucks lately. He had casual fans ( the ones that sometimes watched with me) very interested and got them to start watching again/more often. In short, he could be a draw if used correctly. I'm not talking Hogan or Austin levels, but he could gain them veiwers for sure. So far since he won the title, he hasn't done much of the things that drew the fans to want to cheer him in the first place, which is what the WWE does with most face turns. Batista should come out in a pimping suit almost every show, cut a promo or interact with other superstars, and be dominate in the ring. They should be building him up, not saying he is a flop because once he got to the top they neutered him.

When Kanyon came to the WWE, he modified his Flatliner to provide a little more impact. The setup was the same, but he would lift the opponent into the air before diving backwards. He used it when he was "Invasion MVP" and carried the US Title. Sadly, he didn't get to showcase it much after that.

That sounds............wow. Just, wow.

I don't think I will go see this movie.

I'd love to see this series go for about 6 movies, but that might be impossible to keep your cast for that long. I hope these come out every other year instead of every 3 or 4. Hopefully we will get to see the following characters: Joker---a definite Harvey Dent/Two Face---seems likely Dick Grayson---show Batman training him, but not let him join him until much later Bane Penguin---high-class robber instead of sewer dwelling freak Riddler---ultra-smart like in Hush Harley Quinn Catwoman---only if they can make her the master "cat burglar" that Batman is attracted to And returns/cameos of Zsasz, Scarecrow and Ra's.

Rob Conway to Smackdown at some point in this draft. That's my prediction.

For those worrying that Batman Begins won't make enough for a sequel, have no fear. With what it brings in from theaters, DVD sales and rentals, videogames, toys and other merchandise, it will definitely make a lot of money. Besides, I think that the success this film from an enjoyment aspect will make the following movies in this series definite blockbusters with outside shots at some records.
