So yeah, exactly.

He was Gunner from TNA.

So yeah, exactly.

Who?

Still have no idea.

 

[FedEx227]

Exactly. He's a nobody. That's a crazy ranking for him.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

KENTA is two spots behind The Great Khali

Jun Akiyama is one spot behind TYLER REKS

Kaval is two spots behind David Otunga

There is a pro wrestler who calls himself The Sheik, which would be like a young actor using the stage name Jimmy Stewart.

I LOVE THE PWI 500

 

[SHOGUN]

New Japan has started to put more matches on their Youtube channel. More Davey Richards goodness and Gedo's awesome color commentary.

Tiger Mask 4 did not impress me. I know you said he sucks, W2B.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Tiger Mask V debuted recently.

I havent seen him yet.

 

[JayDizzle]

F-U reversed into the RKO through a table = Move of the Night.

 

[FedEx227]

That was actually a solid Raw. I'm somewhat excited to attend NOC live.

 

[SHOGUN]

I like Orton, but I find it bullshit they're selling the RKO like it's a nuclear bomb.

Jericho and Miz were awesome and Morrison vs. Sheamus was a really good match.

Actually looking forward to the Supershow this weekend.

That move has always been seen as this nuclear bomb. Diamond Cutter, Stone Cold stunner, all that same shizz...low risk move (nobody is getting hurt), comes out of no where, fans eat it up.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Yeah, that move is always over.

I like when finishers are sold as DEATH, because when somebody kicks out, it is more impactful.

ifor example, HBK/Taker

 

[FedEx227]

I wish more guys had those style finishers again. Jake Roberts DDT, Diamond Cutter, RKO where it seems like it can come out of nowhere. That's one of my biggest gripes with modern day mainstream wrestling is that you can pretty well to a tee guess, predict and see when a finish is coming.

[Senators26]

Yeah, I hate when a wrestler always works their way into their finisher(Cena does the same moves before his FU or whatever its PG name is) but the RKO can literally come out of nowhere.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Yeah, that move is always over.

I like when finishers are sold as DEATH, because when somebody kicks out, it is more impactful.

ifor example, HBK/Taker

Exactly.

And that wrestlers worked toward the finisher.

Like when Ric Flair would work over the legs or Rick Martel the back for the submission. Or when the guy with the impact finisher was working the back and rib cage over all match long.

Key to a good match.

Love it when a finisher is death. Makes a match all that better.

 

[SHOGUN]

Selling a finisher like death is great, but do it with a move that looks like it actually hurts. :shifty:

 

[Cody]

I think John Cena won the match :yep:

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

cena nuff

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Has anyone heard what the deal with Matt Hardy is? Reading some interesting stuff but it's from second rate sites, not the good people, so curious if anyone has heard what he did?

I assume we will see a Hardy Boyz reunion in TNA soon.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

--Latest on Matt Hardy is that he's on very thin ice. The original word was that they didn't really want to release him because they didn't want the Hardyz reforming in TNA, but after this weekend and his subsequent video blog, where he broke every conceivable rule and did not look well (listen to last night's Observer Radio, which is a free download you can link to on the right hand side of the main page), the feeling is that they really don't care about him leaving that much anymore. Despite his claim that he wasn't taken off the road ("sent home" was the wrong terminology but it pretty much means the same thing), WWE confirmed the story to Newsday today.
