Kahran Ramsus

Green will miss a game max. He only has bruised ribs.

Blame the defence. Carlos Beltran will go a long way towards fixing that problem.

Late 80s, early 90s WWF. From when Orndorff turns heel in 1986, all the way until Hogan wins at Wrestlemania VII.

Power & Glory was getting a huge push in late 1990, early 1991, and pretty much everyone expected them to take the belts from the Harts at Wrestlemania and pass them on to LOD, yet at the last minute the focus was shifted from then to the Nasty Boys. I've heard something about politics having something to do with it, but what actually happened?

Batista is so much better than Orton, its scary.

I don't buy into most of the conspiricy theories, but I think the reason HHH stayed heel was because he didn't want to job to Austin. He likely would have been the one to beat Austin, so I don't buy that.

Benoit. He was pushed as the leader of the Radicalz, main evented for four months in 2000, was getting another main event push when he injured his neck, was the focal point of the Smackdown 6 Wars (along with Angle), won the Royal Rumble from #1 setting the time record, main evented Wrestlemania by forcing the biggest current star in the company to tap clean, and had a longer title run than Eddy. Benoit also rarely has jobbed clean (he's jobbed to Orton & Angle, even HHH had to cheat to beat him at No Mercy 2000 when HHH was the face), whereas Eddy jobs all the time. Benoit has had the chance to dominate several feuds, like with Jericho in 2000 or HHH in 2004. Even when Eddy won the title, he more or less got lucky. Aside from mid-2003 when Eddy was getting his US Title push and Benoit was being treated poorly, Benoit has always been above Eddy in the eyes of management.

Why? Who did they sign?

Yes. It is the theatrical versions I don't watch. I haven't watched all of the special features myself, but these versions of the film are better than the cut versions released in theatres.

Well, I have to say I was scared there for a little while.

Hey, the guy enjoyed a house show, one that was his first live event. Cut him some slack. I mark out when I am at live shows too.

Even then he's not as good as Cena is.

And now they recovered their own kickoff on the Rams 30!

87 Yard Punt Return for a TD by Nate Clements! Buffalo is just tearing up the Rams special teams right now. Second big punt return in a row by the Bills. 31-17 Bills.

Mark Campbell just caught his THIRD touchdown of the day to put Buffalo up 24-17.

Why? Unless that was sarcasm I completely missed. Ah. Well, I can believe it. It's just amazing that hated heels are getting more face reactions than a relatively pushed face. Especially in Canada where we cheer for who we want to. HHH is quite popular here for example.

I've got Buffalo & St Louis, and it has actually been a pretty good game thus far. 17-17 at the half after the Rams were up 10-0.

Love the idea, but SD is so weak could they really do that? Fans will be paying 35 bucks just for that one match because there's absoutely nothing else below the main event level that's worth watching on Smackdown right now. Even if you had it go 45 minutes. My Armageddon card. HIAC For the WWE Championship: JBL vs. Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Kurt Angle vs. Booker T vs. Eddy Guerrero WWE Tag Team Championships: Rene Dupree & Kenzo Suzuki vs. Rey Misterio & RVD WWE US Championship: John Cena vs. Luther Reigns. Cena fights through his kidney injury, but ultimately loses the title to get it off of him and put someone new over in the process. Luther is not my ideal choice, but this roster is weak and almost everyone else above him are too high for this belt at the moment. This should help both guys. The other options are Orlando Jordan, Mark Jindrak & Jesus, but Reigns is better than those guys so he gets the shot. John Heidenreich vs. Charlie Haas. They are having a mini-feud on Smackdown. Chavo Guerrero vs. Billy Kidman. Paul London returns and costs Kidman the match, after 15 minutes or so. Spike Dudley vs. Hardcore Holly. Spike jobbed to Hardcore on Velocity and comes back for revenge with help from Bubba & D'Von. 6 Matches are enough given that we are selling this show on the main event. You have three potentially good matches (Main Event, Tag Titles, Chavo/Kidman) which will get the most time, and three matches designed to put someone over. And it will probably end up better than the real show.

Chris Benoit's story last year was a great way to build a big main event. He starts by beating Lesnar at Survivor Series, and then he earns one shot at the title by beating Cena and wrestling twice in one night only to lose barely. Heyman makes it his mission to stop Benoit from getting another title shot, including giving him #1 in the Rumble. He wins the Rumble against all odds, earning the shot at Lesnar, but because of Heyman's treatment of him he tells him to go fuck himself by jumping to RAW, doing what nobody had done in years (force HHH to tap out and win the title) and being the big factor in RAW dominating Smackdown throughout his reign and in some ways causing Heyman to lose his job by making it necessary for a draft lottery by causing the rosters to be unbalanced due to his presence on RAW. Great angle, and the best they've done in a long time.

For throwaway PPV matches and short feuds you can do the ol' standby by having the challenger beat the champion in a non-title or tag match. For example, next week have JBL & Orlando vs. Rey & RVD and have Rey pin JBL in a big upset where everyone is expecting Orlando to win. Insta-feud, it isn't going to be a huge success or anything, but if you need something quick it is alot better than thinking up some dumb angle. The tippy-top feuds should be slow burning. The seeds to Cena/Angle were planted way back when Kurt was first made GM, and their characters are natural rivals. Start to show problems while wrestlers are still feuding with others. It must be done this way because of the multi-PPVs and you don't want to overshadow the current PPV main event, but still want to build to the big pay days. Gimmick PPVs. Royal Rumble is set in stone every year. You don't have to do much to build it up because it is the Royal Rumble. Armageddon would be a lot more interesting if instead of a fatal-fourway, they brought back the ol' Armageddon HIAC with JBL vs. Booker vs. Eddy vs. Taker vs. Angle vs. Show and make it out to be an annual event. Get people talking, and unlike the Elimination Chambe you don't have to spend a bunch of money on the equipment since you already have it.

Cena definitely. I don't see Orton ever flying personally. He's like Lex Luger a decade ago. Getting a monster push while everyone is screaming for Bret.

Good for him. But you shouldn't have to accept being thrown at, no matter what you do. No, you shouldn't, you should press charges. Not retaliate by going into the stands and beating the crap out of him.

Athletes shouldn't go in the stands, fans shouldn't go on the field/court. If they do, then they deserved to get not only the shit kicked out of them, but arrested as well.

The Dutch? Have you been paying attention to the news lately? Some people over there are talking of deporting all Muslims from the country.

For a one-night deal, SS 1998 was compelling storytelling for it's time. But if you back and watch it now, you see that it actually was a pretty bad event, and it doesn't stand the test of time. It was a lot better than what came later. Look at Royal Rumble 1999, Wrestlemania XV & KOTR 1999. Those are three of the worst PPVs that the company has ever put on. Seriously, Great American Bash this year smokes all three of them, and it was bad.
