Mecha Mummy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 CHIKARA's Mike Knox! God, they're trying to push him again?
Hawk 34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 "Well since we can't figure out a way to squeeze our number 4 belt onto Wrestlemania because we don't have time to build up a feud, we're resorting to a battle royal! Have fun!" Yep, especially when they could have kept Chavo-Punk going. Here is who I reckon will partake in the battle royal ECW: Balls, BDV, Burke, Morrison, Miz, Kingston, Knox, Richards, Dreamer, Delaney Smackdown: Palumbo, Hawkins, Ryder, Festus, Jesse, Noble, Henry, Khali Raw: Burchil, Cade, Murdoch, Haas, Santino and Duggan/Val/Crazy/Smith
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 HBK on Smackdown! OH MY GOD! HBK IS GONNA BE ON SMACKDOWN!

I'm pretty sure Chavo could do a C4 properly. Eh, I'd be happy with that curb stomp I guess. Barring that, I'd go with Kofi, although I'm not sure he's got enough of a crowd backing to be in the ME quite yet. I think he and Chavo could put on a good curtain jerker though.

Well, I still think Kane has a spot in the MITB. I'm not all that concerned about who will make up the Khali fodder for the match. You could mix any name around as long as the important names are in. Actually, they need a "name" face and that might have to be Kane. If it wasn't Punk-BDV tonight, I'd almost say have Punk in the battle royal to play Melenko to Chavo's Jericho.

I do hope the Smackdown spoilers give us some indication about the final MITB spots.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 I hope BDV wins just to see the reinforced ladder they'll have to build to hold him
Diamonddust Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 I hope BDV wins just to see the reinforced ladder they'll have to build to hold him I'm kind of curious to see the rigging they'll use for MITB since it'll be outdoors. I'm guessing they'll use the lighting rig above the ring to hang the briefcase.

Downhome Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 They should have a helicopter hover above the ring with the briefcase hanging from a chain.
Diamonddust Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Posted March 12, 2008 They should have a helicopter hover above the ring with the briefcase hanging from a chain. Just imagine if it's a real windy day in Orlando...
Hawk 34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Did they really have to put Elijah in this spot? James Curtis or Guido would have sufficed.
Mecha Mummy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Yeah, this was a waste of Burke. At least he got a good deal of offense in, I guess.
Hawk 34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Will Punk break the hometown curse? He won his last match in Chicago by DQ, to BDV of all people.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Count out? COUNT OUT? In 5 minutes? Way to use the hometown boy.
Mecha Mummy Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Well. I guess it could have been worse; he could have lost, I suppose. Still, huge disappointment. I would have liked to have seen him bring back the Anaconda Vice for this instead of the usual copout victory.
haws bah gawd Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Punk almost did the most incredible feat of strength I've ever seen. BDV was just way too heavy. Decent enough match. I don't see Punk convincingly beating BDV, so the countout was decent enough.
Hawk 34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Count out? COUNT OUT? In 5 minutes? Way to use the hometown boy. He didn't job. That's a rarity for hometown acts. It was the most logical way to finish. He couldn't hit GTS, his springboard lariat failed the last time he tried it on BDV. Anaconda has been erased. Countout was the only option. Shelton's comments gives me hope that we'll see them next week.
JPopStarKami Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Count out? COUNT OUT? In 5 minutes? Way to use the hometown boy. Hey, I'll take it. They won't have an ECW guy beat BDV clean so this is the next best thing without a DQ finish. Punk is still standing tall.
Hawk 34 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 so punk is in MitB ? That's correct. That leaves two spots open.
JPopStarKami Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Also I agree about the Anaconda Vice. If they ever want to push him seriously they're gonna have to give him a submission finisher so he can beat big guys and have a more variable way of ending the match.
