This crap is still on?! *click*

[Guest AndrewTS]

Well THAT was a sloppy sequence.

[Guest tpww7]

Crazy Hoss on the loose.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Why would Nathan Jones attacking a man who wasn't in the match cause a DQ?

[Guest Trivia247]

Ok the Triangle Choke is too Contrived...

 

It seems you can't get it locked on unless the guy tries to cover you a certain way.

Edit: Nevermind...

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

just a quick ?, by showing them training in the ring b4 the show....arent they telling the fans that this all isnt real? not that that needs to be said, but i think its something u just dont do.

[Guest tpww7]

They were training but they made it look like Nathan was really hurting the other guys.

What was wrong with the Dragon Sleeper? It's been established somewhat, has been used as a finisher before (Ultimo Dragon, for one), easier to use as a counter, and actually fits into Taker's matches better technically since he attacks the head/neck area a lot more than he does the arm.

 

Oh yeah...

 

"WWE Logic."

I'm sure HHH won't be happy about that.

Heh Because Ultimo Dragon and Dragon Kid just don't exist. outside the WWE.

[Guest tpww7]

Isn't it "Taker Care of Business"?

Considering that most matches are so short, you can't really build on many moves that would work a certain part of the body for that submission that keys on that weakness.

 

Not saying it CAN'T be done, but most matches last what? 5 minutes at least to about 7.

 

So it's not really the WWE logic, just WWE not booking long enough matches.

[Guest Kid Kablam]

Steph has got to be wearing some sort of Girdle, she looks thinner

That's its shitty gimmick name when Taker uses it.

 

The Fat Slobs: a new tag team? Or are they the new Natural Disasters?

[Guest Trivia247]

Steph still looks sexy...just needs to lose the perm

[Guest MarvinisaLunatic]

Wow. Steph sure slimmed down quick lol...

 

Oh wait..Big Show and Albert helped things out a lot.

Then tell me why the FUCK Taker of all people needs a submission hold?

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Natural Disasters.

[Guest Lightning Flik]

I'm just talking about the submission part. Taker needing so many submission holds, is beyond me.

 

THAT is WWE logic.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Having neck surgery Monday?!

 

Er--they said Edge, right?

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I like Steph's hair. It's cute.

[Guest Kid Kablam]

That was a funny shot of Rhyno, it was like he was saying "Mat wrestling? Huh?"

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Having neck surgery Monday?!

 

Er--they said Edge, right?

Yeah. They were saying Edge.

[Guest tpww7]

Yeah they said Edge.

[Guest Kid Kablam]

Do the people who design Benoit's ringwear know what a Wolverine looks like?

[Guest tpww7]

What a superkick.

[Guest AndrewTS]

GORE!! G--SUPERKICK!

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Do the people who design Benoit's ringwear know what a Wolverine looks like?

Probably not. Heck, I just know what a wolf looks like. Not a wolverine. So even I'm not sure.
