Not worth $10. The only think that really interests me is AMW/xXx and MAYBE Raven/Sabu.

 

I really don't like Petey Williams, Monte Brown sucks, and BG James/Konnan representing 3LK is 100% suck. Also Jeff/Jeff feud is pathetic for the World Title. Maybe if La Parka shows up I'll be interested :D

Sabin and Petey work well together, so that should be good. Not Five star good, but still better than anything we'd get with Shane or Kazarian in the match.

I predict Truth and Monty will be highly entertaining. I think Truth has the athleticism it takes to make Monty look good. I'm sure Monty will go over, which I don't think is good right now. By the way, the pic they have for Monty there is great.

 

The only throw away matches on the card are Hangman's horror, and the tag-title match. I think I'll get this.

Michael Shane >>> Petey Williams. Shane actually grew into an acceptable worker once he was taken out of the X-Division. Williams is still bland, and has the most over-exposing finish I've ever seen.

I don't agree. About the Shane thing. WIlliams finish is uber exposing. But I still think he's better than shane.

That's because it's nearly impossible to botch a chin lock.

Chinlocks, armbars, punches, and bodyslams done well are better than hurricanrana's, flying headscissors', tornado DDT's, and tilt-a-whirl Russian Legsweeps done poorly.

True, too bad they drag the opponent down more than those poorly executed moves, becasue with those you can just move on, with a chinlock, you sit there.

The problem is --- you start throwing out those moves early on (a problem a lot of X Division guys have), you have a hard time keeping the crowd in it. You start off throwing out cool spots and it ends up not being memorable.

 

One thing Corny said is true: A well-sold punch is far more effective to get the fans involved than the prettiest moonsault.

I get what you're saying, and I agree. I think my original point was that I just dont' like Shane in the X Division... I think... I'll go back and look wehn I'm totally awake.

LFV should be in the olympics. Backstroke.

 

And, I like Shane. I've said it before, but I just don't see what is horrid about him.

Shane is uber boring, and rarely puts on anything above ***.

Boring is subjective I suppose, but *** is darn good for modern North American wrestling.

By the way, what do you guys think of Shane's performance in the first 2 UltimateX matches. (Edited versions, I know the technical difficulties killed them live)

 

Personally I thought he made the first one, and he hung in there quite well with some of the best in the world in the second.

He didn't do bad.....he didn't do good. Shane was just there for the others, and I personally thought the first one was terrible.

The backstroke joke went right over my head.

 

Shane was okay in the first, and just there in the second, like DK said.

OK, Shane will never get over with you guys then. Just Curious.

If he learned how to work, and wouldn't be so average......I wouldn't mind him as much.

Nah, your minds are closed to him. It's OK though. I'l never see anyhting good in Jeff Hardy. We all have someone like that.

Trust me WMD, my mind is NEVER closed as far as guys go....you might miss out on good talent that way. He can improve.....especially because he is young.

Can I just say that the critique of Williams's finished as "over exposing" is silly. Say that it's "unrealistic", but who gives a shit about what's exposed in 2004?

 

I think it's cool as hell.

Ditto for sure....the Canadian Destroyer is unreal.

I find it funny we were agruing over MICHAEL SHANE of all people.

 

And yes, Destroyer= cool.

Because Shane isn't a Major player in TNA, and usually the discussion centeres around the big guys. So to speak. I just found it funny that we were having a debate over Shane (who I thought was disliked by just about everyone, guess I was wrong) for a change.
