While it would not surprise me given it's the BCS, why would the undefeated team be the odd team out?

So somehow with the time change I signed in to set up the show to find out it was almost over. So show cancelled this week.

In all honesty, I felt like dreck finishing up my match and don't know if I'd have been so giving if... A. I knew I had the title shot coming and, B. I felt well enough to think of a logical conclusion that had me winning. But honestly, only in rare circumstances should a returnee lose, so, not knowing I was getting the title shot, it made the most sense business-wise. Besides, when I beat Toxxic it sets up another challenger.

But it wasn't like it was Misawa's match going to a shitty DQ when he's the reason they jacked up ticket prices. It was a feud with a backstory where the heels hung one of the babyfaces upside down and showered in his blood for chrissakes. Should a match under traditional rules have ended with a roll up or something?

I understand that, but why, under conventional booking practices, would a feud between two teams that hate each other not have a DQ finish of some sort? It comes off as "WAH, forget the other eight matches, I got screwed of a clean win in the midcard and want my money back!"

Shit on the DDQ in the Briscoes-AOTF match if you'd like, but honestly, while a longer match would have been nice, given the angle it's the only sane finish to make. You need a Fight Without Honor to blow it off. Plus you got your hardcore brawl at the end of the night anyway. People are too quick to bitch about the booking

"Don't Hate Me" - Nerf Herder

What are your favorite parts of really bad movies? I absolutely hated Scary Movie 4, but the Dr. Phil/Shaq scene at the beginning was classic.

Didn't see it in the arena and have never seen it on video. Thanks for that.

Street Fight's probably the best choice here. Good call.

The voting's gotta be legit. Why make that up?

Less than ten minutes until showtime. Join us won't you?

After taking September off, we'll be returning October 7 at 6pm Eastern with a full No Mercy preview. Shows are scheduled for every Sunday in October at the same time. Join us, won't you?

It seemed like a weird turn considering DiBiase had been a heel for about 12 years at that point.

In my defense, I have a one year old daughter so I pretty much can only write when she's sleeping, which is generally late at night. THis is the longest I've spent in the forums in weeks.

I oughta start writing, huh?

While these were at shows: Ran into Konnan in the concession line of the Canton Civic Center about 45 minutes before he won the US Title from One Man Gang. Also bumped into Eric Bischoff (literally) outside Gund Arena after Survivor Series 2004. Why he was there despite being on vacation and off-camera, I dunno.

So no one has to turn their pop up blocker off. Or something.

Can't make the show but I really want to see that Evans-Akuma match.

Awesome. I also have to give credit to Singh for "accepting the challenge", which makes it clear to me this was an angle to save face for the cancellation.
