Friday Night SmackDown! 2/17/2006: For and Against

By -
AGAINST: Sylvan's still around?

FOR: Sylvan using the ropes for leverage on the backbreaker after Rey's missed bronco buster.

FOR: Randy's promo.

AGAINST: People laughing after Henry says he's gonna take Undertaker out. That's not good for the rep.

FOR: Cole: "Why are we gonna watch this stuff again?"

AGAINST: Wasn't Helms supposed to face Kid Kash this week? (EDIT: WWE.com says "family emergency", so that's all right then.)

FOR: Helms's coat. As cool as his tights aren't.

FOR: This match.

AGAINST: Scotty taking so long.

FOR: Finisher Bingo~~~~

FOR: Only in wrestling can you get cheers by pulling out a sword.

FOR: Kennedy: "We need a pirate in this business."

AGAINST: Why is JBL still wearing his hat?

WHAT?: Sharmell: "Michael Cole, you scream like a little girl with an ingrown toenail." Cole: "No, that's the guy on Raw." What's he mean by that?

AGAINST: Theye really need to secure the ring apron banners better.

FOR: Booker's back on the "eye muscle" kick.

FOR: The whole commentary sequence with Sharmell admitting she never gets a word in edgewise at home (AGAINST: Which I find VERY hard to believe) and lost under Booker's volume was another zinger from Cole: "I don't have to understand English. I work with Tazz."

AGAINST: Benoit covering JBL. Finlay's legal! You know better.

FOR: The replay. Totally missed the ending.

AGAINST: Do Gymini have names yet?

FOR: Cole: "Well, I have a lot to say but I can't say it on national television."

AGAINST: Lot of hair issues in this match.

FOR: The Angle video package.

AGAINST: How do they not put Cena-Edge in the RAW Rebound?

FOR: Melina gets swerved again. C'mere, baby. It's OK.

FOR: We're supposed to think Jeff's coming back, right? I just want to make sure I'm being led in the right direction here.

FOR: Maybe it's Noble (who was semi-conspicuous by his absence during the cruiserweight deal, and Kash was in the graphic)

AGAINST: Melina's headband.

AGAINST: Did Angle's music skip?

FOR: This odd display of one-upmanship.

AGAINST: Angle and Taker not paying attention.

FOR: SOUPBONES~

FOR: Angle: "I won! I won!" TAKER: chokeslam ANGLE: A'ight.

FOR: TOOOOOOOOOOOMBSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

Video Vault #21 - More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

The flurry of Heart Punch activity continues, as I bust out a Video Vault post, just so I can say that we had new content every day for a week. Because that's certainly worthy of merit, right? RIGHT? Chris Hero & Team F.I.S.T. (Icarus & Akuma) v. Mike Quackenbush & ShaneSaw (Shane Storm & Jigsaw) (CHIKARA - Return of the Son of the International Invasion of the International Invaders: 1st Stage - 8.19.06) Spreadin' the CHIKARA love! Seriously...if you can watch CHIKARA and not *love* CHIKARA, you might be dead inside. I'm about to dive into the King of Trios shows tonight, so huzzah to me. And, uh...this match is heaping helpings of awesome. Just watch it. Necro Butcher v. Roderick Strong (IWA:MS - Hurt - 3.24.06) Not as fun as most of the Necro "dream matches" that have happened over the past year. Which is odd, as you'd think Roddy would be the perfect guy to beat the shit out of Necro (because really…that's what most of these matches amo...

Wrestling Society X #5

By -
Two recaps in two days? Perish the thought! What are the odds that I can make it through all six shows without skipping a day? That would be nutty. -Tonight, The Filth and the Fury faces Team Dragon Gate. 6-Pac answers Human Tornado's challenge. Arik Cannon debuts versus the also debuting Delikado and Ricky Banderas SPEAKS! -Opening montage. - Jibbs performs. -Clips of the fireball angle from the last show. This leads into the Banderas promo (w/subtitles, even though he speaks decently clean English). Apparently, Vampiro is the cause of his facial scarring after he rigged Banderas' coffin to explode. What is it with Vamp and exploding coffins? He promises Vamp that his days are numbered. Team Dragon Gate v. The Filth and the Fury - Teddy Hart and Yoshino open with a quick armdrag sequence. Hart takes control, taking him down with a Russian legsweep and picking up a two count. Both guys tag. Genki tackles M-Dogg, then takes him over with a hiptoss. He charges, but gets elevated...

The 2009 post

None of us type into this here blog thing very often, do we? Are we too busy? Too lazy? Too stupid? I speak only for myself when I say ALL OF THE ABOVE! But hell, I think even I can manage one post a year and this is it! Actually, this is all shit that I've already posted elsewhere over the past year, but cut and paste is one of my many skills. I don't even remember watching some of this stuff, but yeah...here you go. I finished the first disc of the '08 Champion's Carnival (covering the A Block). Lots of good stuff here, with a ton of stories woven through. You have Kojima's injured lariat arm, Kea busting his ass like crazy, but not being able to eke out a win, Tanahashi just generally being a douchebag (in the best way possible!) and Mutoh/Kawada bringing the veteran presence. Favorite match so far was probably Mutoh/Tanahashi. Tanahashi dicks it up, eventually going to work on Mutoh's gimpy knees. Mutoh makes the comeback to show the young buck how to proper...
