[Exit 8A]

I saw RAW this Monday Night, with a 30-man battle royal, probably my favorite type of match in professional wrestling. All I have to say about RAW is: Kenny Dykstra?!? What, are there one too many Mets fans in Creative?

 

[Urban Legend]

Kenny Dykstra...that's just a horrible wrestling name in my opinion, every one knows Kenny's last name is Doane! I don't like all these wrestlers with these foolish made up names, I think people should go by their real names or at least something close to it.

 

[Exit 8A]

I think the reason they don't use his real last name is because there is already an established RAW referee by the name of Jack Doan. But, Kenny Dykstra? What's next? "Ollie Backman", "Jay Knight", or "Larry Carter"?

Mercury is hurt again? Isn't that why he was absent for most of 2006? Gosh, this guy's getting worse than Randy Orton :devil:! I know I may sound a little mean, but I think that someone that gets hurt that much, should be sent back to OVW, but Not Randy, he's too good of a wrestler to go back, it's not his fault about his shoulder. But Joey Mercury, didn't he try to sue WWE when he fell off of the ring and hit his head? Didn't he have some kind of a tumor scare? Something like that? Aren't they trained on how to wrestle, take the falls, teach this fool how to fall, or how to take a ladder shot, and he wouldn't have this problem.

The same thing goes for wrestlers who are wreckless in the ring against their opponents, two good examples are Great Khali, remember how horrible he was on Smackdown, no wonder they pulled him for a bit. The second example is Victoria, she's just getting careless in the ring now, first she breaks Beth Phoenix's jaw and then she breaks Candice's nose. I think if a wrestler causes another wrestler somethings like that they need to be fined, or sent back to OVW, but that's just my opinion.

:devil: Randy Orton may be good, but his disrespectful attitude towards women can't back him up.

Mickie almost went against the script when she saw Victoria break Candice's nose. She was like "Oh, Jesus!". I'm now a Mickie James fan (Coz she's no longer psycho) and I LMAO when she said "I know y'all may think I'm psycho, but that biatch is crazy!"

Victoria's good in the ring, that's a given, but she's taking things to violently already, even for a female wrestler.

Aw, "Hot Rod" Roddy Piper's recovering from Cancer right? *Gets hit with tomatoes* Well, I only knew why he is in the hospital and all that yatty-ya when I was watching HEAT last Friday. They had a special on some of Roddy's best matches, his Hall of Fame induction (Another one of WWE's feel-good moments) and the recent Highlanders' do-it-for-Roddy match.

Before the show ended, they showed clips of video messages dedicated to Roddy from the WWE Superstars. There were messags from The Highlanders, Ron Simmons, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, John Cena, Victoria, Torrie Wilson, and The Coach.

And, oh yeah! How can I forget? HEAT also showed the Wrestle Mania moment when Roddy had an edition of PIPER'S PIT during Wrestle Mania 21, with guest Stone Cold Steve Austin devil: Give me a 'Hell Yeah!'). So, Steve Austin and Piper were exchanging heated words (The crowd doing their usual "What?"), then Carlito comes out. Roddy spits a mouthful of apples into Carlito's face. Austin later Stuns Carlito then shares a happy beer sharing moment with Roddy. All teh love in teh world!!! *Gets shot*

So, of course, on behalf of you guys, I know we all want a speedy recovery for Roddy... Coz cancer ain't good for anybody.

Now that'll be just confusing.

Victoria's good in the ring, that's a given, but she's taking things to violently already, even for a female wrestler.

If Victoria can control herself and Mickie stays sane, then the Women's Division is still intact.

So, Steve Austin and Piper were exchanging heated words (The crowd doing their usual "What?"), then Carlito comes out. Roddy spits a mouthful of apples into Carlito's face. Austin later Stuns Carlito then shares a happy beer sharing moment with Roddy. All teh love in teh world!!! *Gets shot*

yeah, I remember that! (Sigh) I wish I had a can of Stone Cold's beers :devil:

I know that it is a wrestler's job to protect the other guy in the ring as well as him/her self, but I am wondering what the hell Candice Michelle is still doing in the ring? I think that she is beaten only by ECW's Kelly Kelly as most useless person on the roster (although Kelly Kelly is WAY more useless than Candice).

As for Kenny Dykstra, at least he doesn't have "Meet the Mets" as his entrance theme. Although it would be fun to see a match between him and Johnny Jeter, although if a Jeter/Dykstra match happened in Boston, it would be the most crowd-crapped match ever.

 

[tanglewood14]

Alright, I got a little say on the Women's Division... Okay, SmackDown!'s.

See, I was watching an ep yesterday where there was Diva's Tag Team Action going on. Jillian and Krystal vs. Ashley and Layla. I see some improvemet in Ashley's part, even coming up with a new finishing move (An elbow drop from the second turnbuckle).

And when Ashley won, I was like "Wow, it's the first time you pinned someone in the SmackDown! roster". See, ever since Ashley moved to SD, all her supposed wrestling skills sort of died down and she made me think twice if she could actually wrestle or not.

Hmm, it doesn't bother me that much that I haven't watched SmackDown! for a couple of weeks already, but like I said, I watched yesterday. I've only watched one of its highlights show, The WWE Experience. Let's jsut say, I'm starting to go back to the RAW side of things, if you know what I mean.

The only thing that interests me in SmackDown! is the usual teaming up of The Brothers of Destruction, namely Kane and The Undertaker.

Hasn't anyone noticed that a lot of great and entertaining teams have either formed or reunited in the latter part of the year? I'll shoot some names: D Generation X, The Hardy Boys, Rated rKo, MNM, The Brothers of Destruction. What else am I missing?

2006, in the world of WWE, was filled with comebacks. 2005, was the year that each brand's World Champ ruled the kingdom. I just hope 2007 will be an exciting year.

 

[gream_reaper]

Well, it's always nice to see what a new year in wrestling could do. You've been reading PWI's STATE OF THE GAME articles, haven't ya, taglewood14?

I've got pics from that Diva's tag team match you're talking about:

But what I liked better was that epi's main event. The Brothers of Destruction vs. King Booker and Finlay.

 

[tanglewood14]

Yes, gream_reaper, I have been reading Pro-Wrestling Illustrated. .

A new year is upon us and I've got a few wishes this year for WWE:

~ A Draft Lottery
I know it's a long shot, but some people are kind of rough around the edges because of the roster they're in.

~ An Elimination Chamber Match in any PPV
Sucks that they didn't have one for New Year's Revolution 2007, they could've done it for a 3rd year in a row

~ Rey Mysterio to come back from injury
Ya do know I love this guy to death, right? As in, I'm a huge fan of him?

~ An actual Extremists to hold the ECW World Title
Lashley was doing good in SmackDown!, but puh-leaze! Big, chiseled guys aren't supposed to be in ECW--a place of high-flying action and chair shots here and there. ECW is a place for fine southern cheeks! devil:, that one's for you, Doreen!)

~ No more storylines involving Mr.McMahon
Vinnie Mac should stay behind the camera and stay there! While his fued with DX was the most entertaining storyline of 2006, the tasteless pick on Shawn Michaels and his do-again of a screwjob during March's Saturday Night's Main Event was just plain bad and would make you want to tell Vinnie "Join my 'Kiss My A*s Club', dumba*s"... okay, harsh, coming from me.

:lol: Aw, I'm flattered. Really, I am XD

Anyway, have you guys seen the Top 10 Stories of 2006 on WWE.com? Do any of you agree with it?

 

[Urban Legend]

I can't believe that they let Kevin Federline beat John Cena ! Well at least Cena got the last laugh by giving that Punk a FU! :devil:

 

[tanglewood14]

I'm about to check 'em out...

I was in the mall during New Year's Eve and my jaw literally dropped when I saw WWE Magazine's Best of 2006. It dropped not because it was cool, but because it was damn expensive! 500 Philippine Pesos, dudes!

Well, I can't find it!!! So, I'm of to the best of 2006. I so damn agree with ECW's comeback as THE most memorable moment of '06.

Biased of me to say that I agree with #8... Rey Mysterio's roller coaster year. 2006, in my mind, is this little guy's year. Royal Rumble, World Title Reign, Brutus-like Stab In The Back, Saying "I Quit". All these in one year.

#9 was damn right. The Money In The Bank being cashed in. Edge and RVD.

#7, another damn true. Lita and Trish's WWE departure.

And, who could forget, #6, Bret Hart's induction to the Hall of Fame.

DX's return, IMO, was the highlight of the year. Evolving from the crap between Vinnie Mac and HBK... to the return of DX!!!

And of course, Kurt Angle's release. I was watching Kurt in TNA last week, all I can say? No Comment. Next question.

 

[gream_reaper]

I'm gonna hurl if I see another McMahon involved storyline.

Life's a bitch, isn't it? All those to happen to one man.

Kurt in TNA aight that bad, he's just as intense and he still breaks ankles.

 

[DoreenCSI]

For me, 2006 was all about the return of many memorable, umm, wrestlers. You have Jeff Hardy and then the return of some tag teams even though some were only for a short while like the Hardy Boyz and MNM.
