PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Evan Bourne? That's fucking retarded.
Broward83 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Why the fuck would they change his name after already referring to him as Matt Sydal and refrencing his work around the globe?
Hawk 34 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Yeah but at least he's a regular now. Deuce and Domino splitting ends that legendary tag team.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Why is Finlay turning on Colin and then getting beat on Smackdown by Morrison?
Golgo 13 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 I imagine it's some sort of copyright/trademark thing with Sydal. I don't even know what's going on anymore. Finlay turns on Colin, Deuce and Domino break up a couple weeks after introducing Maryse, Khali is a heel this show after playing face last week, and they seem to be developing a schism between MVP and La Familia and a possible turn out of that, but MVP continues to play a straight heel regardless, rather than scaling back at least a little (although that is what I'd like to see more often, rather than changing someone's character or what made them likable in the first place).
Scroby Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Hey Jason Styles and Brian Cage got try outs. Good for them. They're both bay area natives. I've worked with Cage a ton of times while I've only worked on the same show of Styles twice, both nice guys.
Thanks for the Fish Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Hey Jason Styles and Brian Cage got try outs. Good for them. They're both bay area natives. I've worked with Cage a ton of times while I've only worked on the same show of Styles twice, both nice guys. I believe I read elsewhere that Styles was injured during the match. I really don't mind the name chance for Matt Sydal. Hell at least it means they think enough of him that they want to own the trademark. Evan Bourne isn't that bad of a name, though I was hoping to here Adamle make a play with Matt's name and his moveset calling him Sui-Sydal...
Ravenbomb Posted June 8, 2008 Report Posted June 8, 2008 Maybe he has amnesia and will start beating the ass of everybody on the roster.
Hawk 34 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Everyone wants to make the Bourne Movie jokes but I'm still hoping for the "Son of Matt Borne" route.
JPopStarKami Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 What's the point of having Punk team with Kane to job out to the tag team champions? We already had this match at Judgment Day. I understand they have to elevate the champions and keep them strong, but Punk and Kane are MITB winner and ECW champion respectively., and you risk hurting them too. Punk especially needs to be kept strong as he hasn't won much lately and has a title shot. I know this has been said before, but it's true. I don't know what WWE bookers are thinking.
Hawk 34 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 It took a few posts but someone finally complained about Punk doing a job in a tag match. We say this every week but Punk isn't losing a damn thing by losing to the tag champs. The same champs whom are probably the strongest booked tag team in years.
King Cucaracha Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Why is Finlay turning on Colin and then getting beat on Smackdown by Morrison? People like kicking Colin's ass? Chances are the word 'turn' was a little misleading.
JPopStarKami Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Estrada seriously jobbed 3 times in one night? That's gotta be a new record...
