How horrible would it be if your last name was "Rockemsockem"? Can't be any worse than "Basham"... OK, that's a lie.

 

Is RVD actually injured? (stupid question of the topic)

yep

 

torn MCL and ACL

Lita and RVD rehabing features every week!...

 

That would be odd.

Eugene too. He has a leg injury as well, I believe.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Relive 2004.

 

No thanks.

[Guest BDC]

I missed it somewhere, but what did RVD do to screw up his knee?

[sluggo 0]

Kenzo has the beard again!

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I wonder if Hiroko works the accent harder or that's how she naturally talks...

[Guest BDC]

I had been spared the Kenzo interview to now...

 

Kill me.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Kenzo's goofy smile = priceless

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Heh. Kenzo still sucks, though.

[Guest BDC]

Wow, Amy and Joy can't even have a halfway believable catfight for 6 seconds.

 

Wow.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Lets have a catfight, and then after we're done, we can all enjoy some of these tasty ice cold Diet Mountain Dews.

 

Big Show: DIET?

drop it like it's hot...Teddy Long has run his course...

It's been injured for about a year, but RVD worked through it. He hurt it worse at a recent house show.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Is the leg that RVD has hurt the same one that he hurt back in ECW?

The hometown thing keeps on going..

The hometown thing keeps on going..

It'll be a nice way to debut someone sooner or later...

isnt Roderick the guy that was has the "Widows Peak" as a finisher ? er as one of his finisher( he IS an indy wresler)

[Guest BDC]

Roderick, huh? I'm having "Life of Brian" moments flashing through my head.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

He slapped Angle and started running...er..caught..over

[DangerousDamon 0]

Maybe we'll see Strong bust out some BACKBREAKERS~!

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Well, that was the longest one of these matches, and the best showing of the person I think

Yes, he is. He calls it the Spinal Shock I think.

I was hoping...dammit!

 

Nice job in his two minutes, though.

[Nevermortal 0]

I'd like to see an actual Roderick Strong v. Kurt Angle match.

[Mrnoitaull 0]

yeah I ve seen this guy in action in a siz man elimination match. He came out on top . Pretty impressive stuff.

 

And from this match, helluva seller!!!

I know Roderick Strong is something of a smark darling in certain quarters, because of his work in.....I don't know, ROH, or wherever the hell he wrestles in the indies.....but I just have to say, he is the most unimpressive looking wrestler I've just about ever seen.

Yes, he is. He calls it the Spinal Shock I think.

He calls it the CX03. He also does one swung into a cutter, called the CX02, I believe. And tons of backbreakers.

 

Ooh, Snitsky/Kane on RAW...

Yeah, his knock is his look (he isn't on steroids yet) and lack of size (he's 5-10, 210 or so). But he's solid in the ring.

He's far more impressive when next to the relatively small members of the ROH roster, but put him with someone bigger, and he becomes just another guy.

He HAS had some great matches with Samoa Joe, though, who is bigger in size. So he can work matches with them that are great. But appearance wise you are correct. And he doesn't work a CW style to get into that division.

[Mrnoitaull 0]

I just want to see Roderick Strong vs. Kurt Angle tonight. That's about it.

Rodrick who?

He's a Florida guy, works indies, including ROH. I think he's only 21. Does a ton of different backbreakers. Good worker.
