What do you think about the WWE doing a "Clash of the Champions" type special? I was watching some old "Clash" matches I downloaded, and thought it would be nice to see a PPV-worthy card on a special night on a primetime network. There is an abundance of PPV's now, and it might not be feasible, but I think they should try it to see if they could bring in some new fans. If it were on NBC, Fox, etc., it could be huge.

No one mentioned Homer's line to open up Patty and Veronica's wedding: "Queerly beloved, we are gathered here today......"

I figured Masters would be in Evolution at some point.

I heard he sucks, but he won't be Brakkus. Brakkus was a lot bigger and sucked quite the dick. That being said, apparently Masters has been using the dreaded Full Nelson as his finish lately.

Anyone have screencaps?

So did Batista whip any ass?

So Batista didn't even show up?

You should never run anything male-oriented against the Super Bowl.

Paul Burchill was signed a while back and I thought he was assigned to OVW. Since then, I haven't seen him on OVW's page, and haven't heard anything about him. Anyone have an update on him, pictures, or videos? I was impressed with the video someone linked to when he was signed.

While looking for some of his stuff, I came across a discussion on him that had links to some of his movies clips. http://forums.prowrestling.com/showthread.php?t=106779

I disagree. I think that he will do the standing shooting star press on occasion, and when he debuts he will probablt throw the cruiserweights around a la Brock. I doubt he will do the backflip uranage, though.

True, I just thought it was pretty funny.

You are aware that Kansas City is in the stat of Missouri, right? The post above talked about the new announcers being from Kansas City.

Not to mention it would be a much, much bigger story than what it is.

I thought they were going to change it at WMXX.

Best match of 2001 for me was Angle/Austin at Summerslam, DQ ending and all.

Who would they be doing the Evolution theme for? Not HHH.......not Batista.....not Flair.

I had an idea a year or so ago that a wrestler would announce his intentions to retire, and wanted to try for the title one last time. If he lost, he'd retire, but if he won, he'd have to think about what he wanted to do. After he won the title, every match could be his last. I think it would add a layer of drama to the title defenses, and especially his TV matches. I also understand what everyone says about retirement matches, but I look at it like this: unless a wrestler specifically says he will never wrestle another match as long as he lives, he can come back for a few appearances later on. I don't mind Foley wrestling once every 2-3 years, because he is still "retired" when he wrestles. He is not an active wrestler anymore. Not all people that retire from a job quit working all together. And people have come out of retirement before. When it really hurts is when Terry Funk has 361 "retirements," but will never leave until he can't walk or is dead.

Egde WAS married to Val's sister. He is now married to someone else. And I think the confusion about Angle's wife being a former stripper could come from the fact that he was dating a stripper from Montgomery, WV (less than an hour away from me) where my roommate played football in college. My roommate knew some of the strippers there, and when she left, they were all talking about her moving to Pittsburgh with Angle. Whether this is the same girl he's with now, I have no idea. Probably not.

Although the limo driver was definitely hired by HHH, I don't think it is going to be a wrestler at all, and definitely not Randy Orton.

I admit they are getting better, but I don't consider the Forrest Gump movie parody to be weak by any means. It got quite the laugh out of my Rumble party, and I still like to watch it when it comes on.

Well, I didn't want to type out 6 months worth of booking, and I didn't go into intricate detail, but obviously Angle and Cena have history dating back to Cena's debut. They will most definitely be meeting in the finals of the number 1 contender's tourney. HBK is probably going to cost him that match. If HBK beats Angle at Mania, why would he jump to Smackdown to continue a feud he's already beat Angle in? So, Angle beats HBK at Mania, and HBK feels like he could have beaten him and is disgusted that he didn't pull out the win. So HBK ends up on SD and continues the feud with Angle. This leaves them with April, May, and June to have two more high-profile matches, with each of them winning one a piece letting Angle win the series. During all this, Angle is slowly turning crowd favorite because he is able to back up what he claims by beating HBK. In July, Angle says he thinks he deserves a shot at the title now that he is finished with HBK. Is that a good enough bridge from Mania to Slam?

Okay, if I were in charge of ending Kurt Angle's career, it would go something like this: Cena beats JBL for the title at Mania. Angle pins HBK at Mania. Shawn goes to Smackdown wither in the draft or a trade and feuds with Angle. Angle challenges Cena before SummerSlam, and Cena stops pandering to the fans and gets some of his edge back. Toward the end of the match, Cena keeps hitting the FU, Angle Slam or a new finisher on Angle, and they do a double turn. Angle has to retire due to the injuries, and Cena goes full on heel. Angle can come back to television much later, but should never wrestle again if he is that fucked up health-wise.

Something I wonder all the time is what happened to Anglesault? Name change? Banned? Left? I know I obviously missed something, but I was gone for about 3 weeks a while back and I just noticed one day that he wasn't around anymore.
