[Sarge 2.0]

Mick really revitalized his career with this latest comeback.

His promos are fantastic, his ringwork is as good as its ever been, and he's just genuinely entertaining everytime he's on TV.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Well honestly, how could a Foley/Flair feud go wrong? Not even the Spirit Squad could F that up...

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Foley's ban been a favorite of mine forever.

i think it;'s cause he's like a regular guy and he doesn't have a muscular body so people can relate to him. well that's just how i see it.

 

[The FallenAngel]

My top ten in no particular order:

1. Edge
2. Chris Benoit
3. Finlay
4. HHH
5. HBK
6. RVD
7. Orton
8. Angle
9. Rey
10. Regal

Honorable mention to Foley and King Booker.

EDIT: I forgot to mention Big Show. Best big man going right now, IMO.

 

[Eric Draven]

I don't really like to order them, but here would be my top ten right now:

1.Benoit
2.Edge (has really, really impressed me as of late)
3.HBK
4.Kurt Angle
5.Rey Mysterio
6.King Booker
7.Mick Foley
8.Shelton Benjamin
9.Triple H
10.Finlay - and to think, I thought he was a total joke in WCW....

 

[NDX]

Glad to see The Rated R Superstar has grown on you NDX. I've been an Edgehead since the Brood. Welcome

I liked Edge back when he teamed with Christian during their Dudley/Hardy feud days. What turned me away was his bad face runs. And I never felt he could hold his own as a main eventer. But the last year he has more than proven that he is worthy of an extended title run.

And I think Lita glues her **** into those blouses because the way Angle manhandled her on ECW she should have been free flowing yet there wasn't even a slip. Might strong glue.

I could see him have a Shawn Michaels-type comeback, where he could be a regular performer soon.....

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Regal's appeared twice. Hmm, I must not have seen the best of his work.

 

[NDX]

I know Foley, if he really wanted to, could wrestle an actual match (he showed this in his early days as Mankind) and to see him and Flair would be a dream come true after what the two have to say to one another, but I just don't know if the two can actually hold a classic 2 out of 3 falls match, even with the idea of Foley "stinking up the place on purpose."

As much as I want to see that match, I don't know if it will fly well.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I rememeber seeing two slips. I commented on them too.

 

[The FallenAngel]

Any of his matches with Benoit are amazing. There are like two of them in the Velocity archives at WWE.com if you want to check them out.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'll get right on that.

 

[NDX]

I've actually been thinking that that is what Foley has currently been doing with this current run in the WWE, probably the best since perhaps his title reighns. He plans on working a series of matches with Flair after coming off a program with Edge and his old ECW cohorts, and it looks like he still accompanies Edge to the ring on TV.

Maybe this is just his way of escaping his 4 kids.

 

[NDX]

I rememeber seeing two slips. I commented on them too.

Actually, I checked the tape (orignally to see where Orton was hurt, on a ****ing knee drop) and decided to see if there were slips and the slo-mo showed no, unfortunately.

There were times there should have been slips but the fabric was just too good at covering everything.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I hate that glue and I hate Nitro's head!!

 

[NDX]

I have a stick specifically for the day I meet Nitro on the street and beat him to death with it.

But they do have a nice combined entrance. Nitro might make it solo... or fall to earth like the rest of the tough enough winners.

 

[The FallenAngel]

If anyone actually wants to watch the Regal/Benoit matches, the dates for each are Oct. 1, 2005 and May 13, 2006.

Lion Gates representatives have been told that if nobody is around, they can call Kane by his real name (Glen), but if a third person is present at any time, he must be referred to as Kane.

On the night the fake Kane (Drew Hankinson) debuted, his mask was falling apart and his pants started ripping. When he delivered the chokeslam to Kane, the costume completely ripped apart. It wasn't noticable on television though. That explains why Vince McMahon was furious afterwards.

A seven year old fan asked Paul London at a weekend house show as to why he doesn't do the 450 splash anymore. London said, "They don't let me do that anymore. Isn't that lame?" (Yes, yes it is.)

Road Warrior Animal's idea that was turned down was for him to work with the main event faces. He then had a locker room blowup after the rejection. His release was expected because he wasn't used on house shows or television - even with a skeleton Smackdown crew. Also, he wanted an agent job, but consideing who his brother is, too many people would point that out as the reason he was hired. (He should have never been brought back to begin with.)

Paul Burchill's pirate gimmick was officially dropped two weeks ago. Management thought Burchill had a hard time working as a babyface. Burchill was copying Johnny Depp for the gimmick, however, Vince McMahon didn't know what he was doing since he has never watched Pirates of the Caribbean. McMahon actually envisioned the character as a remake of Jean Pierre LaFitte circa 1995.

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams was brought to Deep South Wrestling for a week to tryout as a coach. He spoke to the wrestlers on ring pyschology, the pitfalls of life on the road, drugs, and all the problems he battled during his own career.

CM Punk and Francine are scheduled to make their ECW debuts this Saturday at the first ECW house show at the old ECW Arena. Test may also make his debut.

There has been some talk of taping two ECW shows at one event, however, nothing has been confirmed.

Was Velocity still on TV at the time of Oct. 1 in the states? I think I have a Benoit/Regal match on tape that was probably the best match of that month from a Velocity episode, which I found disheartening.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Who would you consider your top ten in the WWE?

1)Edge
2)Finlay
3)Rey
4Benoit
5)HHH
6)Orton
7a)HBK
7b)Angle
9)Big Show
10)Booker T

I'm pretty sure that Shelton's losing the belt on Sunday, but I wonder how good Nitro's chances are of taking it over Carlito's.

Yes!

EDIT: Ok, so I just realized this is in Philly, and I have no tickets. ****.

No, I think Oct. 1 was around the time they went off air and went strictly to the site.

Why? Why go back to the Amazura? It's a ****hole, and is even worse in the Summer. Why leave Long Island?

And goddamn, this show is gonna suck without all the ECW guys on it. Highlight of these were Sandman and Sabu.

Well, at least Xavier will be there.
