That match surprisingly wasn't that bad. Would've been better with someone like Tajiri. However when you consider that it was with Chuck it wasn't that bad.

I have been totally pleased with the matches so far. Not only that, but damnit, I MARKED OUT for Palumbo's Power Bomb into the corner, I haven't seen that since watching my last Kobash match, heh.

 

Bring on Spanky!

Originally, before I had seen any Ring of Honor, I also thought American Dragon would have some sort of elaborate costume. But, when you think about it, an American wrestler in a Mexican type costume might look stranger than just white tights. I always say let the wrestling speak for the wrestler, not the costume. American Dragon-Jamie Noble was really good, in my opinion. Glad to see the crowd was into it. Hopefully, Spanky-Shannon Moore will be just as good.

Remember Ciclo-Malenko...

I hate how The Cat will make fun of some of these one-time deal guys. He was knocking on American Dragon earlier even though American Dragon is ten times better than The Cat ever was. I want to see The Amazing Red on Velocity, I want to see how WWE fans will react to his style.

Well Blitzkreig looked fine in a Lucha Libre type costume.

 

However no one here is really bitching about him not having a costume, it's just that they could've at least had him wear better tights.

I've read that AmDragon was among Michaels' trainees, as well. Personally, I've never read of any Regal involvement.

Was it really worth it to have a character die on their programming, just in order to have a FAKE, Stepmom/Stepdaughter match at the Rumble?

 

Does anyone even care that it's being billed as that?

 

Does anyone actually believe it?

 

Why does the WWE have such an urge to have a match billed as that anyhow?

Yeah, wasn't that when Dean Malenko dressed as Ciclope at Slamboree '98 so he could get a shot at Chris Jericho's Cruiserweight title. That was a pretty cool move, but Chris Jericho eventually got the title back through his "Conspiracy" angle.

La Parka has one of the most outlandish costumes of all, did you guys not just love that?

Eh i don't think it's Cat ripping on them personally.

 

He's just doing the "who are these bums they can't compete with our guys" commentary. I'm sure they like to play that up in order to be able to play the upset card.

I believe the storyline was that Dean couldn't get a title shot for some reason, so he dressed up like Ciclope and won the small Cruiser Rumble, took the mask off at the end and Jericho was pissed, etc...

No, but I do believe that the award would go to Vince's head, for his outstanding entrance into his ass.

It's some stupid bragging right. No clue why we should be caring, though.

You know, a Best Entrance and Best Finisher award wouldn't be too bad. If they made a video package for all the coolest entrances and one for all the cool finishers, it would have been worth it.
