Don't get me wrong, I like Gibson and am happy they protected him by not putting him in (or forgetting, lol) this match. But building him up as a loveable Benoit, Jr? C'mon. He lacks the look and the charisma. And what Benoit lacked in charisma he delivered with in-ring to win over the fans.

 

Who said anything about lovable? He is Benoit Jr because he is very similar in style and delivery as Benoit. I wasn't saying build him as "the next Benoit", I was saying he is the modern Benoit. Junior wrestler who can do alot of great stuff in all styles from High-flying, mat-based and brawling.

 

Gibson CAN deliver inside that ring, it's a matter of WWE not letting him do that. Who said anything about building the company around him? Of course, you can't build around Gibson. They couldn't do that with Benoit.

 

They also can't build around Orton, either but that hasn't stopped them. Bottom line, Gibson can work, can get over with the crowd and can carry the cruiserweight ranks if they let him and the others do what they can.

 

Gibson was praised before his ROH stuff, watch his HVW and WCW work. It's not an ROH thing, he got rave reviews in other promotions as well.

I was willing to give Lashley a chance. But his looking lost and generally confused when facing off with two ring veterans like JBL and Finlay really bothered me. He sold well enough and made his comebacks, and the fans responded positively, but I'd rather this PPV time be given to more entertaining characters that can wrestle.

 

Plus, JBL is a great character. Go JBL.

 

(...remembers JBL being squashed in a minute to the Boogeyman on a Big 4 PPV...nevermind)

Am I the only one who has never built a tree out of legos?

Well, I certainly hope I get to see Noble deliver. Even if I DIDN'T like him, which I do, anything would be a breath of fresh air from watching Scotty do the Worm, Funaki's horrible attempts at looking credible, the Nunzio "clap your hands" dropkick, and Kid Kash's futile attempts to be a good, cocky heel.

Like UTSU incorrectly said about Gibson and ROHbots, TRAINED SEALS.

 

man, Rudo might get his wish. It looks like they are building to something with Finaly/JBL already, just get Regal and Benoit/Burchill involved.

Fun match, fun finish, right guy went over.

they popped for Ahmed Johnson, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, why not this guy? I'm not saying he's in their league, but he could be someday.

good point, gaywad.

 

how the fuck did JBL get busted open that bad. Lashley headbutt him on accident?

Batista a special guest.

 

And it looks like his hair was cut.

 

...and for those that watched IMpact last night, Batista's suit is in the same style of Christopher Daniel's entrance robe (black with pinstripes).
