JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Wow, that's the best Steiner promo I've heard since ~2000. That fits since his match against Sting and Joe at Sacrifice is the best match he's been in since roughly that time period as well. And he's got a feud with Joe forming that has actual "people give a crap" juice to it. ... That's just the awesomeness of Joe for you. Is Joe awesome enough to Muscle Buster Steiner though? I don't think it would be physically possible. Steiner would combust if he had to compact all of that muscle for the move. May be why the move is called the musclebuster though.

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 I dunno about anybody else, but that match kinda ruined the energy of the show a bit for me. It had a really nice flow going before this segment started IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Have Elix Skipper and Ron Killings ever teamed up? It seems like a match made in heaven. One likes to sing, one likes to dance, they both do it badly, but both could make it work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Boy I really wish they'd drop Killings the hip hopper and bring back Truth the compelling character. Of course we haven't seen him in about 3 years or so...so it's probably time I give up on that wish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 Why does the ref have shorts on? That's bush league. It's part of a storyline where he's in good (or thinks he's in good) with the new DoA. They're playing him off Larry Z, who's been wearing ties and sportcoats after a year of showing up in Hawaiian shirts because the new DoA put Larry on probation. Slick got in good with the said new guy, who hasn't been revealed yet, after Larry kept giving Earl Hebner the big main events to ref instead of him. That fits since his match against Sting and Joe at Sacrifice is the best match he's been in since roughly that time period as well. And he's got a feud with Joe forming that has actual "people give a crap" juice to it. ... That's just the awesomeness of Joe for you. I said it before, but I think it's worth repeating...two months in, TNA has gotten more out of Steiner than WWE did in his entire run. They've effectively played to his strengths and hid his weakness. Who would have thought when Joe debuted at last year's Slammiversary that he'd be set for the most anticipated match on the 06 card, against Scott Steiner?

TNABaddboi 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 They certainly want us to think that Jarrett/Raven and Sting/Steiner are the matches, huh? I don't know...I just can't see them blowing either of those matches on TV. I think it'd really put over the randoming pairings if they did a swerve next week and did Jarrett/Steiner (cuz you know Sting's match is going the last week). Anyway, overall, I'd say it was a good show, save the Team Canada segment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
