Bobo, tna didn't get "killed" in the ratings when they went against ecw. Tna won.

My bad, I got it mixed around.

I guess it would go up a bit but not enough to make an "Impact" so to speek. There commentary crew sucks big time. Don West shoild have stuck with selling basebal cards and Iron mike should have stuck with the trivia thing he did in WCW.

So...The return of the King of thr Ring next week.

I've got a question. Is the tournament for RAW superstar only or are the superstars of other brands competeing also? I think and hope if Smackdown superstars competed then Edge would become King of the Ring. If not then I haven't a clue.

What do you think?

 

[bobobill]

From what I saw it will be all three brands next week. It's great to see it coming back as a one night Tourny like the old days. As far as the winner goes I'm gonna go with Mr. Kennedy. After what happend last year with his misdiagnosis causing him to lose his MITB contract he is the only guy I can think of that could use the push and hopefully a title shot comes with it.

 

[docherty67]

is it just me or have there been a lot of heel v heel and face v face matches recently. not complaining cos i kinda like it.

 

[nekkid]

It seems that all 3 brands will be on the show as there was a king of the ring setup at the ecw entrance last night. Although last year if memory serves me right it was smackdown only when Booker won it. I hope whoever wins it doesn't have to pretend they are a king.

Has anyone heard anything else about a draft for this 3 hour RAW? I haven't.

 

[-KA-]

What? I think Booker acting like a king was hilarious, how he called his opponents peasants and stuff.

About the draft. I heard it is going to happen in late May or in the beginnig of June, but I'm not sure. I hope it's not favouring RAW again like last year.

 

[phynix]

Hilarious? Its was painful! especially for anyone who remembers the harlem heat days of booker t. and as for anyone watching it who actually has an english accent, well it just got under my skin a lil bit!

 

[nekkid]

Yeah, its weird, most of the people I know were split 50/50 on the King Booker gimmick. The only thing that I like about it was how he said "King Booooookaaaaah". For me though it got old quick.

God, I hop the turn HBK heel with this ric flair thing. That would be awesome.

I wonder which title cm punk would go after.

 

[bobobill]

The only thing I liked about King Booker was when he would get upset and revert back to Harlem Heat Booker. It could have been worse though, he could have went back to being GI Bro.

I haven't heard anything about a draft this year, mostly it's been rumors because there was a 3 hour show coming up and that always gets draft rumors.

As far as CM Punk goes, the only title I see him going for is the WWE title. They wouldn't waste the MITB on the ECW title and I don't think him and The Undertaker will click in the ring. I think he could have some great matches with Randy Orton. It's just too bad he is challanging as a face, he makes a much better heel IMO.

Here are some reasons CM Punk owns as a heel.

[phynix]

CM Punk could be huge but I really miss the anaconda vice thats was a great move and I really enjoyed seeing it each week!

 

[mikekim29]

I don't get the whole CM Punk thing. I think he sucks. They have really been pushing him lately as well.

 

[nekkid]

I'm with you Mike CM doesn't do it for me either. I actually think that Morrison is the best talent in ecw.

ok a funny thing happened while I was watching impact just now. When I was watching the angle/joe main event, my phone was on the table in front of me. I looked at my phone 3 times because I thought it was vibrating (which indicates text message for me) because of a sound that I thought it was making. I figured out that the noise was not in fact my phone, but Don West's wheezing in between breaths. It was beyond aweful, it was really bad during that match. If you haven't watched that match on your dvr/tivo yet, please listen for what I am talking about. It was absurd, but hilarious. I think we all agree Don West needs to get off the commentating position.

 

[bobobill]

I agree about Don West, how the hell did he go from selling baseball cards to announcing. The only thing he was good for was yelling Gem mint 10 and it still sucked.

 

[nekkid]

ok here is a good question I think. Who in the wwe should turn face, who should turn heel?

I think the following should turn heel...

Jericho
HBK
Cena
and from what bobo posted earlier CM Punk

Face?

Maybe its time for Kennedy to have a face turn
Umaaga?

thoughts...

One other thing I have found some really good shoot interviews on youtube they don't last too long but I think we should start posting them on here when we find them. I'll start with this awesome Dudley Boyz shoot, One of my fav's..

[bobobill]

I think Punk and Cena should turn heel and Kennedy should turn face. I don't think Umaga could ever be turned face without ruining the monster gimmick he has.

 

[nekkid]

Ya Kennedy was acting like a face on RAW. They might have to use humor to get umaga over as a face, like they did with Kane and his Kanenites.

 

[bobobill]

Some Chris Benoit phone calls have been released here they are.

[phynix]

Phone msgs were a lil creepy!

Kennedy was very face on Raw! Umanga should stay as a heel, unless they wanna suddenly give him a live mike...ahh remeber when Kane first started talking..sniff sniff memories!

King Regal, yeah I like the sound of that...No wait Regal has barely wrestled in the last three years and I thought that the King title was given to a rising star?

Y2J as a heel is great stuff but so would HBK? hmmm these two would be a great lil group kinda like Rated RKO but they should last longer!

Cena needs a heel turn like yesterday, we dont seem him much with all his film shooting and stuff and by the sounds of it JBL wants a piece of him soon, but a heel turn is wahat is needed...I've heard the summerslam plan is for Cena to face HHH? Hows that gonna work?

Great Shoot interview nekkid!

 

[nekkid]

I'm glad you liked it phynix. If you guys like them I'll keep posting them. This might be myy favorite one. The outsiders...

Another interesting interwiev nekkid .

LOL it seems that The Rock (Happy Birthday!() has really lost his respect. Last night on Smackdown Mick Foley said something like this "I've held this WWE tag team championship with some of the great WWE superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin (1 time) and Kane (1 time)" forgetting the biggest of them all The Rock with who he has been tag champ 3 times.
