2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Saw part of the show. Looked pretty entertaining, although I'm still not sure where they're going with Michaels/JBL. Also the end to the main event seemed a little weird, with Trips standing in the ring for a couple of minutes while Hardy beat up Edge. Almost seemed like they mistimed it, or something.

 

But the trophy looks better.

Anyone think that the Italian guy Santino is rapidly becoming one of the funniest clowns on there?

 

Santino was friggin awesome again tonight. Kane stole the show with the one-liner but the bit with Khali winning and everything that happened after that ... well









That was worth a DAMN!

 

When Santino pissed off the people of Seattle with his new fan shirt of the Oaak-laaa-homah Sitty Than-der shirt was priceless.

 

You mean Philly?

 

He was talking about a month or so ago.

 

Ah.

Don't think I saw that one.

 

No, I meant several weeks ago in Seattle.

 

I, too, thought the ending to RAW was a big awkward. Not really sure what happened. Funny how Cena was facing toward the broadcast booth but could "sense" Jericho running down the ramp and met him outside the ring.

Also, Triple H hardly got a pop from the crowd.

And Edge looks like he gained some lbs. during his time off. Anyone else see that? He's still awesome.

 

Yeah, I noticed that too, with Cena just turning around and running outside to attack Jericho. Also, why was the match thrown out at that point? Jericho hadn't entered the ring yet. Had Jericho come in and attacked Cena, that would have been a DQ.

Also, I thought they should have had Cena and Edge face off with both wearing their belts. It would have made the champ vs. champ match seem a little more important.

Loved the spot with Beth slapping Finley, then Finley slapping Santino in retaliation, with Santino running out of the ring to sell it. Very old school, but still a lot of fun to watch.

And the ECW chants when Styles came out was priceless.

 

This bit with the JBL and HBK is just flat stupid.

 

Speaking of Joey Styles and JBL...

Joey Styles punched out JBL during the WWE's Tribute to the Troops tour last week in Iraq, according to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com. The story goes that JBL, who had been drinking, was hazing Styles and even went so far as to intentionally spill a drink on him. At one point, JBL and Styles had to be held apart by a group of wrestlers. When JBL broke free, Styles caught him with a punch to the eye that laid out the former WWE Champion.
