2009 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

Gotta be because they wanted the extra seats, I would suppose. It made for a cool look, no doubt.

Kofi, Stratosphere. Stratosphere, Kofi.

 

Anyone got a link to a feed?

 

Oh, crap, I forgot about SS. LOL. Oh well. Anyone wanna catch a brother up?

 

Ho-lee shit. HBK started the match with the superkick...on Trips.

 

Heels won the first 5-on-5 match (McIntyre, Miz, Sheamus survivors)...faces won the second. Kingston reversed a Punk roll-up, then hit his finishing kick on Orton immediately afterward to be the sole survivor.

Batista beat the living shit out of Mysterio...ref stopped match after 3 straight powerbombs. Batista then hit the spinebuster on a chair. I absolutely *love* him as a heel.

Taker retained Goldie...inevitable dissention within the JeriShow ranks continued. There was a Diva match, but I didn't pay attention.

Oh, and Trips just spinebusted HBK thru a table.

(Sidenote: TLC, the next PPV, is in San Antonio...HBK has to either walk in or walk out of that with the strap, right?)

 

Quite the opposite, if McMahon history is to be believed. They always make the hometown guy lose and/or get humiliated (Finlay lost in Belfast during the European tour, JR gets beat down and ass shoved in his face every time they get to Oklahoma, Bret Hart ... well, y'know)

 

Excellent point. I counter with the '97 Rumble...also in San Antonio.

 

True, though that was in the Shawn Michaels: Epic Butthurt days. Allegedly he doesn't even want the title now. But the finish makes it look like Cena-HBK is the next program, or at least the next PPV main (which is only three weeks away)

 

That's better than Cena-Trips, or Cena-Orton or Cena-someone who's been in the title hunt recently.

How long has it been since HBK even held a title?

 

I think the fans would eat it up, but I'd be stunned to see HBK with the strap.

 

I'd normally agree with you but look at the lengths of title runs lately.

I mean, when's the last time someone's had the belt for a substantial amount of time? The belt's changed hands 10 times in the last 12 months. It's not like the old days when guys had it for six-seven months. There's just too much chaos with that strap now.
