    Should be a half decent one,m looking forward to angle/mysterio and benoit/van dam the most

    it looks like a solid card - the best this year on paper with the only stinker being the test - taker match up but its amazing how the wwe have managed not to capitalize on the hbk-hhh match - with the propper build up this could have been huge

    plus the amount of publicity going into the title match may be counter productive - i dont see it being a great match - unless there is a big run in/swerve etc going to take place and with the bulild up its getting it will only underline what should be a mediocre encounter

    *SPOILER*

















    What a show, HBK Vs HHH was absolutly fantastic, Brock Rock was excellent with Rock doing a Clean Job, Rey Rey V Angle i thought was great, in fact there wasnt a bad match on that entire card. Best PPV in a LONG time!

    i didnt watch all of it, but I did here that Rock didnt get the reception he probably expected, apparantly a lot of "Rocky Sucks" chants, any truth to this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    Some Rocky Sucks and some Lets go Lesnar chants broke out alright, the crowd were fairly hot for the whole show, esp the End of the HBK Vs HHH match, which was deserved as it was one of the best in LONG time. The Showstoppa Was on top form, you wouldnt even tell he is injured.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭Ph3n0m


    sheesh and there was I thinking Kane was going to come ot and kick the crap out of Lesnar :)

    yeah I had a feeling HBK would pull out all the stops, and shock horror it sounds like HHH actually had a good match since he returned from injury (cause looking at him recently I think he has become very lazy)


    and now with Lesnar as champ dare we salavate at the possiblity of him feuding with Angle, oh the sheer joy of it all


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Hobnail Monkey


    It was a great PPV I think. The Angle - Mysterio match was awesome, wiry little hoor that Mysterio guy!!!!!! Dunno about you, but I think that Rick Flair is on great form lately too.
    I literally jumped off the couch when Brock hit the F5 on the Rock!!!!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,322 ✭✭✭Repli


    It sounded more like the crowd were chanting 'brocky sucks' ??
    The angle/mysterio match only lasted a few minutes.. i must have blinked and it was over..
    I was hoping kane would return aswell but it was still an excellent ppv

    Was that officially HBKs last match or is he going to carry on? The match with HHH was class. He should stay on. He is my favourite by far.

    I worry about Lesnar. They've made him out to be (dare i say it) too good. He has shown us that he possesses the technicallities of Angle, the speed of RVD, the strength of Mark Henry and the viciousness of Benoit. Who is going to compete with him? No-one in the wwe has anymore than 2 of those qualities.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    except for 1 man, 1 word, 1 Angle
    Guerrero also ,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Hobnail Monkey


    YEAH!!!!!
    I reckon Angle would beat the snot out of Lesnar.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    He has:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Hobnail Monkey


    He should do it again then, just to be sure


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    Guerrerro? Beat Lesnar? Are you insane?!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,638 ✭✭✭bombidol


    Angle beat lesnar in a shoot,
    angle is more technically proficiant than lesnar
    Guerrero is a technical god


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Hobnail Monkey


    I would virtually cream my pants to see Angle get Lesnar in the angle slam and lift the fcuker out of it.
    Beat him in a shoot - you mean a shootfight??
    I was actually reading an interview lately that was done with an Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter called Mark Kerr (a monster of a man). He won the NCAA a few years ago (like angle and lesnar I think). He said that if Angle worked on his punching and standup fighting, that he would be excellent in no-holds barred fighting. He could almost be the next Ken Shamrock


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,322 ✭✭✭Repli


    I don't think he needs to enter UFC or compete in no holds barred fighting.. He's one of the best technical wrestlers ever as we'll see at the upcoming olympics.
    like angle and lesnar I think
    Lesnar won it recently, Angle a while ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Hobnail Monkey


    Angle would be about the only reason to watch the Olympics actually, hope he wins something.

    Angle and lesnar had an amatuer wrestling bout in the wwe ring a month or two ago, Angle won. I head Angle took on Bigshow too, of course he won:)

    i would LOVE to see an Angle Guerrero Fued or even 1 or 2 matches


  • Registered Users Posts: 898 ✭✭✭Winning Hand


    Angle mysterio match was class, angle dominating the first half, burst out laughing when angle suplexed mysterio straight off the ropes, shame it ended with a wierd top ropes malarky.

    HHH match was pure class, hbk off the ropes onto the table was the highlight.

    RVD/Benoit was not as good as I expected, to me RVD is class at the start but he fatigues easily and benoits ring strategy (shoulder hits) should of won it for him, no van terminator :(

    Test/Taker = pants

    Tag match Ok

    Rock brock match was fairly cool, rock didnt have all the crowds support even though he fought better then he normally does, lying down panting for half the match. Glad to see brock win but will be even gladder when angle nails the angle slam followed by a ankle lock tap out followed by heyman having his leg snapped "Oh its true"
