RAW 6/5/2006: For and Against

By -
FOR: I hope this Raw doesn't suck like the last one I saw, oh... six months ago.

FOR: The "like a member of the family" line.

AGAINST: I can see the difference already. Smackdown hyped two matches. Raw hypes a contract signing and Vince McMahon's ass.

AGAINST: Cena and RVD have lawyers?

FOR: Cena's promo.

AGAINST: The table no-selling the Sabu flying chair spot.

FOR: Lilian saying "Carlito." That's hot.

AGAINST: No reference to the history between Shelton and Carlito?

FOR: I didn't know Carlito had moves like that. Nice finish.

FOR: That actually took a little less time than I thought. (bonus points to HHH still pulling on his elbow pads.)

FOR: The Spirit Squad attacking Show, causing HHH to lose.

FOR: Hacksaw!

AGAINST: Striker's knee pads. They match the sweater, of all things.

FOR: JR: "By the way, Striker is an American."

AGAINST: "The Samoan Bulldozer."

FOR: ANGLE!

FOR: Mick taking Angle to task for stealing his bit.

FOR: Edge's point about Angle being disgusted with ECW the first time around.

FOR: ORTON?!?!

FOR: Orton accepting Angle's open challenge.

FOR: Cade and Murdoch back together.

FOR: Melina!

AGAINST: Melina's hair. Two colors tops, honey. Anything more is just tacky.

FOR: JR: "Easy, Captain Cialis."

AGAINST: Haas' beard.

AGAINST: They're applauding an Irish whip into the corner?

AGAINST: Was that a "Lilian" chant?

FOR: Haas' monkey flip.

AGAINST: Charlie, it doesn't matter what happened to Melina. Keep your eye on the... ah, crap.

FOR: Oh, that's what happened. You know, I thought Haas might have clipped Lilian as she was getting out of the ring.

FOR: Victoria's hair.

FOR: JR: "Here comes Nutgirl."

FOR: The whole updated 50's bobbysoxer look Mickie's got going on. It's charmingly different. Too bad she's Tara Reid crazy.

FOR: Victoria's cutter through the ropes.

FOR: Did Victoria mean to do that?

AGAINST: That finish took too long to develop.

AGAINST: The replays of the Sabu spot only make it look worse.

AGAINST: Does Shane actually think HHH thinks they're on the same side?

FOR: HHH spitting the water out.

FOR: JR bringing up his membership in the Kiss My Ass Club.

AGAINST: Vince's 'leadership by example' lie.

FOR: HHH selling it.

FOR: At least they're not showing the ass tricks.

AGAINST: MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!!!

FOR: JR theorizing that HHH either sensed it coming or learned from what happened to Shawn to dodge the bullet.

Heart Punch Remembers Eddie Guerrero

By -
The sudden death of popular WWE wrestler Eddie Guerrero left the world of wrestling in shock. No people more than the "smarks", the Internet fans like us for whom names like Guerrero and Benoit are measuring sticks for everything we love about Our Great Sport(tm Tony Schaivone.). Heart Punch writers have come together for the site's first collective effort, sharing a few KB of thoughts on the one man who could lie, cheat, and steal...and be a huge babyface doing it. ----- Shane Osman Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. - R.W. Raymond What it is it that makes a man worthy of the mantle of "hero?" Is it simply an extension of fame? That he has been blessed with so much talent he basically transcends his chosen profession, turning it into an art form? Is it the fact that the same man, apparently at the top of the world, is all too human, willingly walking down the wrong path only ...

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

By -
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...
