I know Jannety was injured, dummy. So why put it on TV. Match still stunk

figured I'd resurrect this thread for a moment since Survivor Series is around the corner and they just announced they're doing 3 traditional elimination matches this year!

Team Miz (Miz, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger) vs Team Morrison (John Morrison, Evan Bourne, Matt Hardy, Finlay, and Shelton Benjamin)

Team Kofi (Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth and Christian) vs Team Orton (Randy Orton, Legacy, Regal, Punk)

and a Divas one with Mickie James vs Michelle McCool as team captains.

Remember when it used to be all elimination matches and the teams had real names? The Rude Brood, Roddy's Rowdies!!!! Gah, i feel old.

With the exception of some old stand-by's (R-Truth, Benjamin, Finlay), I'm glad to see (most of) the young guys are getting pushed on this PPV. I'm impressed to see Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger this time. And maybe Punk will add some excitement to Legacy.

Good to see they didn't forget about Bourne either, he's such a jobber now.

I hope so, Taker's beat up and can't work a full schedule anymore, as evidenced by his three matches since he came back three months ago.

There's a message here. Don't get injured! Work through your broken leg and retire early instead. Stop being a baby!

Jericho is about at 'Takers level so he'll probably drop the strap to him and be gone for another six months.

I'm gonna be going back and forth between the Steelers and Raw tonight.

It's a UK Raw where it only goes two ways usually - EPIC main events (HBK vs Cena 55 minute match from 07, Jeff Hardy vs Johnny Nitro from 06) or total letdown (Orton vs Cena 90 second schmozz with a whole bunch of uninspired, a random unnecessary Regal title win, go through the motions bullshit). I'm tempted to read the spoilers, but I've been pretty impressed with the last two weeks of TV, so i might just go in cold and hope for the best.

DaveNinja · « **Reply #58 on:** November 09, 2009, 04:34:13 PM »

who is the guest host tonight?

John Joe Jay · « **Reply #59 on:** November 09, 2009, 05:32:39 PM »

Ricky Hatton.

Haha, that guy is a dork.

He'd beat the shit out of me though

You can watch some random matches from every Survivor Series going back to 1987 On Demand for $2 each right now. You can also watch the 11 minute Dragon Gate preview of their 2nd PPV for free. It's all clips of their first PPV though??

There's just a whole bunch of clips from the PPV, and other events they've done in the past in Japan. Some promos from Quack, Spanky, Davey and Danielson. Decent waste of 11 minutes i guess. There's some pretty sick spots in the highlight videos that I enjoyed watching.

someone should start a Wrestling/MMA channel that would show old and new stuff through out the day.
i know it would never happen, but it would be awesome (the way i picture it in my head)

Wrestling is stupid anymore. I wish I still liked it, but I don't. Thanks, ROH.

ROH is depressing to look at these days. Crazy how far down they've fallen.

Shows how big of a blow losing Gabe was. It's all gonna be about DragonGate USA now.

Can the WWE ever have a white team vs. black team where it's not:

Whites "y'all are thugs and should be in jail!"

Blacks "what??!! Maaaan! Hellll nah!"

Whites: "you ain't "ballin'" or "playin'" or "gettin jiggy!" You are from the 'hood!!"

(fight)

I mean..MVP being in jail has pretty much been run into the ground at this point right? I never got that heels also have to be ignorant and racist?

Piper's hosting next week's RAW. I hope he's all orange from over-tanning and fucked up on pills again.

I've been to two recent ROH events and I've enjoyed myself each time. I guess I see where you dudes are coming from and I agree that it's not the same as the glory days, but I still think it's quality wrestling entertainment. Delirious, Danielson, Nigel, Daizee and several others are worth the price of admission. Should Jerry Lynn or Austin Aries hold the Title? Probably not but like I said it still entertains me.

I think mainly a lot of the reason that so many people are down on ROH is because the shows feel less important now. During the old regime, every show felt important, like something really awesome could happen at any moment and the twists and turns along the way kept getting people sucked in. Unfortunately now, I think creatively, the magic is gone and a lot of the wrestlers are just going through the motions for the paycheck. I still enjoy watching a lot of their guys, but ROH has gone, in my eyes, from the #3 promotion in North America to just another decent indy that runs every weekend.

On the flip side of that, Dragon Gate USA seems to be doing very well from what I understand, and just yesterday, Gabe and the guy who runs FIP down in Florida and Davey Richards announced that they are starting a new promotion in the Northeast called Evolve Wrestling. They haven't announced anything outside of that yet, but through the grapevine, I've learned that their first show is in January in (possibly)Rahway, NJ and is going to be a lot like ROH circa 2003-2004. It looks like Gabe is trying to put ROH down for good after getting ousted out almost a year ago.
