My thoughts on the special here, including the way it ended…  no time to expand here, but I know a lot of you want to comment, so off we go!

Road to Wrestlemania?

With Survivor Series marking the final “Big Four” PPV of the year, I figured I’d throw out a bit of Wrestlemania fantasy booking, based somewhat on where I see storylines going, but a whole lot on what I’d like to see… Here’s a few quick thoughts…

Monday Night RAW

I’m so exhausted from Thanksgiving that I can barely keep my eyes open, but even if it kills me, I’m going to make it through RAW tonight. Things are already off to a bizarre start with Vince once again pointing out the death of WCW to Bischoff, and once again doing an equally bizarre dance. [...]

The New Angle

Man, I am really getting aggrevated at this whole Kurt Angle situation. As I stated in the Survivor Series 2005 discussion thread below, I don’t think anyone thought when this whole Cena/Angle feud began that John Cena could defeat Kurt Angle one-on-one, especially with Angle being in this “vicious” mind frame he’s been in as [...]

Survivor Series 2005

Randy was finally put over like a star tonight…
Vince should know better…
Trish and Melina had a fun match, and the right Diva won…
So, when are they gonna turn Cena heel?
Edge and Dmitri Young was pretty funny, but I really can’t believe he said some of that…
Overall not a bad show.

TNA had its moments

It’s been a huge day here in NYC. The Knicks hit a buzzer ebater in OT to win it. Then the Rangers follow that up by winning in sudden death in a shoot out. So I was all pumped to watch some wrestling.

The Beginning of the End?

Tomorrow’s Survivor Series pay per view will see the return of The Undertaker. In the promotional videos for SS, it says that this event will mark the “beginning of the end.” What do you think this means?
Maybe it means nothing at all, but maybe it means that when the Phenom returns this time, it will [...]

[2005 TWB Awards] - Best Female

This one should come as no surprise to anyone, as Trish Stratus completely dominated this category.
She’s made the transition from fitness model and mouthpiece/manager to a legit wrestling presence in the ring, and she’s one of the few females who won’t cause people in the arena to get up and take a beer break. She’s [...]

Smackdown is Evolution: 11.25.05

Haven’t seen all of it yet, and I know it’s a pay per view “hard sell” episode of Smackdown, but still: Orton vs. Batista for the first time since Batista put Randy out of action just after Mania (and the first legit opportunity Randy has of winning back the World Title in forever). That’s a [...]

I realize I said nominations would be accepted through the 28th, but they’ve slowed to a crawl lately and we’ve got more than enough to fill the ballots. I’m closing them up so I can tally the results and get the actual voting process started. We’re going to vote on one category for 24 hours, [...]
