SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2004 Say to yourself "Its just a show, I should really just relax..." 'It's not Undertaker that has Paul Heyman by the throat ... It's Paul Heyman who has YOU by the throat.' June 10, 2004 Will the Undertaker agree to join forces with the Dudley Boyz and Paul Heyman? Undertaker will make that very decision this week on SmackDown! According to Heyman, the Deadman has two choices: Align himself with the men responsible for kidnapping Paul Bearer, or never see Bearer again! General Manager Kurt Angle said he was going to call the Board of Directors and have John Cena stripped of the United States Championship. WWE.com has learned that Angle has, in fact, been in touch with the Board, and that the Board has made a decision. Has Angle succeeded in stripping Cena of the U.S. Championship? Find out this week on SmackDown! Plus, this week's SmackDown! will mark the anxiously anticipated debut of Kenzo Suzuki. See this Japanese Superstar in action on SmackDown! All this and much more Thursday night at 8/7 CT on UPN. credit: wwe.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 Well, I'm actually watching the show now to kill some time before the Lakers/Pistons game tonight, and I have to say that the opening segment wasn't bad. A Cena/Booker feud could be pretty decent, and I kind of like the Undertaker storyline too. It's just the JBL/Eddie feud that's a total train wreck. Oh, and the whole undercard, I kind of forgot about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 Dude, what are you talking about, he can spin in a circle and take a superkick from Scotty 2 Hotty. And his finisher is a LEGSWEEP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2004 He did a chop and the Tongan, okay, now he's a skinny Meng. And...that's it. Bah, lame, as expected. Not too horrible, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has a Japanese wrestler ever had intro music that way sterotypical Oriental music? He's Japanese and out FOR REVENGE!~ I honestly can't think of any Japanese workers in WWE that didn't have stereotypical music. Let's give it a shot... *pulls out kazoo* Here comes Kenzo Suzuki, and he's really MAD! Here comes Kenzo Suzuki and he's really AN-GRY!!! Hirohito's offense made Lance Storm's chairshots look deadly. I wonder if he'll get in deep crap for being too "airy." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
