    I want jericho cos i dont want batista as champ again.

    Botchtista kept his shoulders down for the three count, Michael Cole has to reiterate three times that he kicked out in time when he clearly didn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    I reckon Jericho's heel storyline (and his title-reign) is due to last a bit longer yet. Seems they're stretching things - rivalries and storylines - out longer these days...

    So yeah, I'm guessing Jericho will retain, ... Austin will assist in that somehow (maybe) ... and the rivalry with Batista will continue.

    Just waiting to see a stunner delivered... ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Dave looked way too happy on his way out for my liking
    The dude can't sell for **** either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭FeetMagic


    Stunner to batista


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    ... although Steve grabbing Chris by the hair and pulling him out of that hold...

    ... hard to predict, perhaps this is...

    [edit]: Austin is doing the 3-counts much more slowly when Jericho is pinned compared to when Jericho is doing the pinning, imho...

    When was the last time someone tapped to the Walls of jericho?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    ROFL @ Michaels :)

    ... AND Orton...

    F**k this... Bring back Stone Cold...

    {EDIT} - OH ... he's back...
    and...

    and...

    NICE finish!

    ... Funny, and Batista wins (with an excuse put in there for Jericho to say he should have had the 3-count and re-ignite his feud with HBK)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭FeetMagic


    JBL!? eww...

    Batista is so sh*t, he can't even shave his head properly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,492 ✭✭✭EdK


    Told ye he looked too happy, Batista sucks as champ


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,602 ✭✭✭✭ShawnRaven


    Another steaming pile of sh*t PPV from WWE. Thank you Vince for taking Professional Wrestling and flushing it right down the crapper.

    Too bad nobody gives a f*ck about it.
    In 2000, who'd have thought that Paul Heyman wouldn't have given a crap about ECW and be writing columns for The Sun eight years later? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,919 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    I actually enjoyed the first 3 matches..The rest were pants..Why couldnt they have put in the U.S match instead of the Halloween costume thing...Crowd were good which always helps..Last Man Standing was a borefest...And I wanted Kozlov


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    I only want to get two things off my chest
    • I ****ing hate Michelle McCool.
    • Why Vince why? Why did you take the strap off Jericho and give it to that tool Batista??!!
    That is all.

    And I haven't got a clue as to why. From what I've come across, fans have enjoyed Jericho's title reign so what has happened? I can't believe how weak they made Jericho look; they give Baista the upper-hand for weeks leading up to the match and he still wins the title.

    Ratings are struggling and with Cena gone Batista is regarded as the most over face on the show. He is a bigger draw than Jericho ever will be sadly. :(

    Is he? I don't see the Raw numbers improving with him as champ. Maybe they can book matches with him against people that the fans would be more interested in seeing than Jericho. It's a very marginal thing though to me.

    The WWE seem to have alot of top guys that are much of a muchness in terms of being draws.

    Nail on the head. The numbers didn't drop much during Jericho's reign, but at the same time they didn't go up much either. Vince is getting desperate so he'll throw the belt on anyone he can get kids to like until Cena is off the bench.

    The he can turn the World Heavyweight Championship into a cheap piece of bling! Oh joy!

    When business dips Vince always puts the title on a big guy over a smaller one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    bah i forgot i was avoiding this thread and clicked in by habit :(

    jericho lost :(:(:(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 Spike_irl


    Wasn't the worst - was watchable.

    Enjoyed the Matt and Evan's match - even thou there was a few small botches in it but wasn't bad for the first time together for the 2. Can't wait to see how they push this, must watch ECW now.

    Would love to see Jeff Hardy v Evan Bourne, 2 highflyers, energetic Athletes

    Santino match was not bad - seems like they are running out of stuff for him to say. can't see him out every week with the Honk a Meter.

    Thought Goldust wasn't Dusty until the in Ring Segment when he took his hair off.

    HHH v Hardy match was another usual match from them - gettin everyones hopes up to see hardy win until the Gorilla turns it into a win out of no-where with a Pedigree. I can probably see Hardy winning the Title around the time Edge Comes back to setup a Feud there and maybe putting HHH on Mr Kennedy if he returns.

    Batista v Jericho was alright but Austin seem a bit watered down from his usual style - wasn't in the Match much. Can see title back on Jericho after the Steel Cage match on November. not sure what JBL was doing out there, obviously there's gonna be a HBK v JBL coming.

    Anyhow thats my small response to the PPV we'll see how tonight goes with the storys. just Not looking forward to it opeing with Jericho in the Ring mouthin off about his loss :mad:

    If they actually do that I'll cry. Cyber Sunday wasn't a bad show until Batista took the title after three run ins and about four ref bumps. Victoria in a banana costume was hilarious and the Last Man Standing was great. HHH/Hardy seemed too much of a repeat of their last match and the Bourne/Hardy match was good.

    Why do you think these??...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    For some reason I felt sorry for Victoria. But I'm sure she was a willing participator.:pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭luckyjimbobs


    Never wish harm on people but smackdown would be much better if HHH

    did has quad again lol he just wont let anyone else take his spot.

    The guy is so insecure when he is in most secure spot ever

    I pity jeff and edge and big show and antbody else who could be champ

    and wont get a look in cos of the almighty HHH

    I know that she has that comedic element to her character but so does Jillian and she got a costume as good as the rest of the divas. I don't know, just seeing Victoria dressed as a banana doing some silly song and dance made me feel a bit sad for her!

    She was as dressed an Eiffel Tower I think the last time they did a contest.

    Thats what people were saying when he was still on raw...
    (excluding the quad part)

    It seems people will only be happy when HHH is given his own show, on his own where he can forever be champion every week. :rolleyes:

    The Peanutbutter-Jelly ad. It's been used in pop culture for years now, Simpsons have spoofed it, Futuramana have spoofed it, Family Guy have spoofed it. It was only a matter of time really.

    But then, Victoria has been a joke for the past few years now.
    But hey, it's divas, so why do you even care?!

    I didn't know that! I wasn't really watching the show that much last year.

    So what everyone's favourite match last night? I have to go with Bourne/Hardy.

    Completely agree.

    Did anyone think that hardy was acting a little heel-ish too?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Completely agree.

    In what sense?

    In the sense that a lot of his defensive moves were very heel like.

    Plummeting Evan with so many clotheslines for example.

    Ah I didn't notice. But I wouldn't mind a return to Mattitude.:D

    Maria for some reason doesn't do a lot for me. I'm indifferent towards her (in terms of endearment, of course she's hot). She's not in my 'love' category with the likes of Mickie and Layla, but she wouldn't be in my hate category either with the likes of McCool and *gasp* Kelly Kelly!:eek::p
