ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Now here's the question: Which show has the better main event: 7/16 with Eddie/RVD...or 7/17 with Eddie/JBL? ...and why am I now picturing a one on one RVD/JBL match? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Funaki vs. Mordecai Yyyyyup. Funaki's gettin' squashed. In Tokyo. Okay then. And I'm guessing the rumor of Hiroshi Tanahashi working one of the shows is bullshit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, the Eddie/JBL match may have been better than expected, but Eddie can't bleed like that every match they have. And please, for your sake, don't think of RVD/JBL.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Well of course Funaki is getting squashed. Wouldn't want him to be in his home country and actually win a match now would we? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Well of course Funaki is getting squashed. Wouldn't want him to be in his home country and actually win a match now would we? He did before against The Hurricane. Though I doubt that his luck will continue on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NiTR0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 I don't like Kidman and London as a team on two things. Spanky and London were one hundred times better, and Kidman isn't no where near as good as London. And oh yeah, London can get over on his simple wrestling ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2004 The 7/16 line-up is already 100 times better than the JD card was. Ah, a televised RVD / Eddie world title match. I can only dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And oh yeah, London can get over on his simple wrestling ability. Ill take London with Kidman over no London at all (yah know, before he was teaming with London) Kidman is a Perfectly Acceptable Undercard Cruiserweight Tag Partner, btw.
