OAO Velocity Thread for 8/21/04

[Guest Staravenger]

Starting off the show is Charlie Haas vs. Akio. I could've sworn they sent Akio down to OVW, but I guess he came back after Sakoda got dumped.

Wavell? What the hell kind of name is Wevell...

[Guest Staravenger]

Charlie Haas/Akio wasn't too bad of a match, but was too short to have any meaning to it. I didn't find it sloppy at all (considering Akios style) and the crowd either really hot or they piped it in a little extra.

 

Mark Jindrak vs. Wavell Starr is next. I see Jindrak still has the Narcissist 2004 gimmick, despite having Long stripped from him and he's been on Smackdown! maybe twice.

[Guest Staravenger]

Josh Matthews just called Starr "Tatanka". That is the highlight of the match sadly.

And another look at the mini-promo for Triple-C.

Replay of JBL's promo on Smackdown...and what the heck is he wearing? The hat on top is the icing on the cake.

It's suppossed to be a neck & back brace due to being roughly slammed and tombstoned onto his limo. I think one of the Pitbulls had that too in ECW.

[Guest Staravenger]

Oh that explains it. That cardboard really breaks bones.

 

I can't help laughing at the Kane/Lita wedding invitation...and why is it hyped on VELOCITY?

Because it was also hyped on Smackdown.

You have an answer for everything. Maybe you can answer this: Why do The Bashams wear those generic tights from No Mercy that almost every CAW has on some websites?

 

Match ratings for the show so far:

Charlie Haas def. Akio - **1/4 Too short, but they did their best with the time they were given.

Mark Jindrak def. Wavell Starr - 1/2* Squash

Billy Gunn def. Doug Basham - * Wasn't too bad, but it's still Gunn/Basham, and niether do anything to excite me.

 

Coming up later....Shannon Moore vs. Booker T in a Non-Title Match, and highlights of Guerrero/Mystierio vs. Angle/Reigns from Smackdown.

Because they were tired of the leather pants, and without Shaniqua it didn't fit them anymore.

 

Gunn using the Styles Clash/Crash Landing is just wrong.

Gunn should stop using other peoples finishers. First he makes the Jackhammer look like shit and now the Styles Clash. I think Billy Gunn's next finisher should be the pounce.

Don't forget that he also stole Marty Jannetty's finisher.

[Guest Staravenger]

I guess the only original move was the One and Only or whatever he called that million dollar dream into a neck breaker.

I don't like watching Horseshu no selling Rey Mysterio's offense.

Gunn also used the Catatonic for a short time.

Holy shit...Shannon Moore looked like a vampire.

 

and...can women even have a groin? I just always assumed that only pertained to guys.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Holy shit...Shannon Moore looked like a vampire.

...damnit, now you're making me picture a Gangrel return and he turns Shannon Moore into a new version of Brood Christian

Maybe Kid Kash beat him up for stealing his look.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I'd take Jindrak on SD over Suzuki and Heidenreich any day of the week.

[Guest Staravenger]

Maybe Kid Kash beat him up for stealing his look.

Shannon Moore one-ups him because WWE wants nothing to do with Kash.

Billy Gunn should never ever leave the tag team division. Just make Mr. Culo & Mr. Narcissist the tag team champs already.

 

Shannon Moore and Maven should make a tag team called Metrosexual Eyebrows.
