[quote name='Saucy Jack']Hardy is scheduled for tonight, but of course that never means anything concrete.[/QUOTE]

well per "tna officials" on the air storyline...

if he doesnt show hes fired
 
[quote name='Saucy Jack']Where did you get that from? That'd be awesome if those are real.[/QUOTE]

they show up in the google advertisements in this wrestling thread...
 
My friend read in the latest wrestling observer that hardy is supposed to come back with a mask, and be called willow the whisp and make it a mick foley/mankind type of character. So maybe he doesn't show tonight, is fired and returns under that gimmick.

Have you tried to get / are you going to try and get the free coupons?
 
Solid main event. Glad JJ didn't get the pin and Rhino got it. Set's up Rhino vs Raven for the next main event. I give this ppv thumbs up. All the matches were pretty solid.

not really...just wondering if anyone knew anything about them..

And yes teh show as superb
 
I dunno if you guys have seen thsi or not, but my Wal-Mart is stocked to the teeth with these. The ebay auction is for a BIN of $54.99, they don't go for that much.. but it's pretty sweet, and IIRC, this is either the very first or second time that Bret comes with the removal pink visor.. the only other time that I think it may have included the pink visor is from the classic superstars line series 2.. I know series 1 came with black glasses..

[quote name='CaseyRyback']I just love how they made sure to include Shawn Michaels in that set:lol:[/QUOTE]

To their credit, it's the WMX Michaels, complete with Mullet.
 
damn im just getting around to see velocity...

Once again a great show. I dont know but velocity has been on a role...

The frankie vs london match was pretty good..

mr ken anderson defeated funaki. He seems charismatic and its obvious has great ring announcing skills.

IN the last match i was kinda dissapointed to see harcore holly defeat steven richards. Stupid wwe. Why cant they give stevie a break.
 
Interesting.

Speaking of related, with the shitty storylines in the WWE at the moment, they should totally bring in Stevie Ray and have him hook up with Sharmell, then have Sharmell tell Booker to "not worry about the problem last night" and then Booker would realize that his brother was fucking his wife, leading to a match at Wrestlemania.

I mean, hell, why not? It's no worse than the Katie Vick angle and it'd be funny.

My idea to get rid of Sharmell was one night, Booker comes out for his match and "Sharmell" is about 6 inches taller, and very obviously just wearing a mask that looks like Sharmell. Booker wins his match, and Sharmell grabs the mic to tell Booker something. She tears off the mask to reveal...GOLDUST. Then everyone plays it up like Sharmell never existed and it has been Goldust this whole time. Booker and Goldie's Night at the Movies 2!
 
Sounds like Kazarian is gone, gone, gone.

He didn't want to cut his hair, WWE did.

He didn't want to remove his highspots, WWE did.

He wanted to be on SmackDown!, WWE wanted him to (I assume) earn his stripes, or the fact that he was a cruiserweight relegated him to permanent Velocity.

Que sera; he was a decent wrestler, but he needs to realize he'll never do shit. He's unappealing, his hair is fucking awful looking, and he just lacks any presence on television.

IMO, he will find his spot in the wrestling world training people to be good wrestlers, but he doesn't have shit to bring on the on-air end of things.
 
Am i the only one that thought kazarian was dong good on velocity. He even beat london this past week. I thought his promos were good as well.
 
I'm workin tonight but I'll pop in during the UFC shit to see if anything good happened.


But we all know nothing good is going to happen.
 
Its nice to see that Mike "The miz" Mizanin was working the canada shows with wwe this weekend. Him and puder were my favorites in the last tough enough. He scored a pinfall victory in a tag match.
 
So much to catch up on...

I hope that WWE brings in that "Justice" guy from TE4. Of all the hopefuls I thought he had the best wrestling "look" to him. He'd be a helluva lot more believable as JBL's enforcer than OJ too...

hopefully I'll get a chance to read the rest of your posts before, during, or right after Raw.
 
Who's coming to the Raw chat tonight?

I played surgery with my XBox controllers earlier, gotta put them back together.
 
You know, we've gotten close to the start of RAW tonight and I feel like it's that time again...

Time to realize that there is probably no chance in hell that Bret will make an appearance on RAW tonight.

And if we're in a particularly sour mood, we feel that we will never see Bret on TV again, except for old footage and commercials for his DVD.
 
BTW, i've avoided spoilers.. so.. please none.

*looks at disassembled XBox Duke*

I should probably get back to work on that.

There shouldn't be any RAW spoilers floating around, unless you count the RAW preview from WWE.com.

Why'd you kill your Duke anyway? Curious to see how it works, or was it screwing up?
 
I hate that I want to watch Raw this week, simply because it's in Montreal... and I know I'm going to be disappointed.
 
Yeah, at least there'll be a good crowd tonight.

All of the internet wrestling community will post their predictable messages on the wrestling messageboards as well. They'll bitch about Bret not coming out, or if he did happen to come out... they'll bitch that he didn't talk about something or do something. You know how it goes...

I'd mark out even if Bret just came out, farted into the microphone, and left. It'd be awesome to see him again.
 
I don't want to see Bret, though. He looks like hell, and probably sounds like it too since I think the concussions are still an issue, nor was he ever the greatest speaker. The only thing I'd sort of be interested in is him reffing HBK/Hogan, purely for the surreal feel of it. But, he'd somehow have to screw over both of them, which is tough to do. And throw Goldberg out there too, for the hell of it.

Tape it and watch the Eagle/Steelers pre-season game. That's what I plan on doing. Even though that game may suck, it's still good because it is pre-season suck, whatever that means.
 
I never got into it much until a guy I played basketball against in high school made the Giants a few years back. Ever since that happened I like watching to see the underdogs make the team. The fact that Raw has less that 30 minutes of actual wrestling lately helps make the decision for me too.

Funny story, really.

My duke's joystick constantly scrolls up but the XBox Live portion works. My S controller has a faulty wiring thing (I carried it in a bckpack and it was positioned in a bad way or something). And my Pelican controller works great, but the XBox Live communicator does not work in it.

I started out with the S controller, only to find out that it's a wiring problem in the cord and i'm more or less SOL.

I then went on to the duke but the joystick was fine.. it still scrolls up.

I then went on to the pelican. Let me state that the XBox controllers made by Microsoft were easy to crack open and fool around with and put back together. I had literally no trouble at all. I got to the pelican, opened it, and literally every button fell out. That's right, in the pelicans, the buttons are just sitting there.. so i'm grabbing the buttons and putting the sensor thingy back in and whatnot.. I tried to transplant the XBox Live memory card/Live portion of the controller to the pelican, but they were pretty different. The white and black buttons came off the top of the pelican (while they're nice at the top, it's a double set and you don't need them). So I more or less said screw it and left the wires hanging out at the top. If anything, it'll be cool for San Andreas. The white button on the top was faulty, anyways.

http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/70/80/56/62/0070805662044_500X500.jpg

It was a pain to take apart, the holes in the back to get to the screws are longer and much, much smaller than that of the Microsoft commercials. I broke a wire connecting the motherboard (I guess that's what it is?) to the rumble thing in the controller, but that's not a big deal, they never worked anyway. Why'd I buy it? I got it for like.. five bucks. I can still play games with it.

So now i'm going to fool around with the circuit board on the Duke. If I can't fix the joystick problem, i'm going to go the lazy route and leave it deassembled. I'll be talking on XBox Live with the circuit board in my lap. It's actually really cool though.. the buttons aren't even needed, it's almost like a touch pad with the buttons pulled off.

Cliff notes: I'm being my cheap ass self and trying to get a working controller with fuctional xbox ports using what I have. I don't want to spend another $30 for a controller.
 
I enjoy following the underdogs, also... but preseason games have little input on who makes the team, except for special teams situations that can't be practiced.
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']thats twice in a month. Going to be a while before I mark out for a return


I say that and I know its a lie[/QUOTE]

It gets to the point where people will just say fuck it and switch the channel form now on. Either bring people out or not but teasing it just pisses people off.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']It gets to the point where people will just say fuck it and switch the channel form now on. Either bring people out or not but teasing it just pisses people off.[/QUOTE]

but the tease is great though. You know its coming, they are just building up the anticipation


also they should just book Montreal for a month. I know if they did, I would definately make sure to watch
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Did we really need 15 minutes of Shawn Michaels talking about nothing? Geez...[/QUOTE]

Typically, I'd agree with you. There still seemed to be that expectation that, at any moment, the guardrail would burst and canadians would draw and quarter HBK in the middle on the ring, live on TV.

Instead, the best they can do is muster a "STFU" chant, adequately censored on DirecTV.

AWESOME segment. HBK can teach them all a thing or two.

But I agree with Casey, stay away from the tease returns for at least 6 months or so.
 
I loved the segment. I loved how heel HBK was. Just when I didn't think it was possible for him to be any more heel, they did the tease. Holy hell. That was amazing.
