Magnanimously Untitled Article Vol. 4

Hello everybody and welcome back. It’s been a while, but I’ve been busy. However I am back now so you can rest easy. Just a heads up this batch of random thoughts is gonna be ROH heavy since I’ve been watching all their HDNet shows on you tube, and I haven’t been able to have too many thoughts about them in the past. Also I will have the next round in the Jim Johnston Cup, and maybe another HOF inductee. So let’s kick this pig.

First things first if anyone is wondering, the channel on you tube that has all of the ROH shows is ROHBrazil.

I can’t believe they are making me wait till May 2nd for me to get my Roderick Strong fix. However, I have thoroughly enjoyed the likes of Brent Albright and Erik Stevens as well.

I like the new Superstars show WWE has. I like the way it’s presented, and I think the theme song rocks. Plus they devote more time to actually wrestling other than just promo work. That allows better matches, and it brings back exhibition matches where two wrestlers with no storyline involvement with each other can tangle just to put on a good match.

I found out why I was initially attracted to the ROH product. It’s their ring; it looks like there’s a trampoline in the middle. That big black square with the ROH logo reminds me of a trampoline.

I figured out why people are calling Bryan Danielson the best in the world. See, before I had only seen him clean shaven with a shaved head. But I noticed that since he’s grown his hair out, and grown a beard he looks a lot like…Chuck Norris. That’s why he’s the best in the world.

I hate that the first ROH title change since getting a TV deal took place off of ROH television.

Claudio Castagnoli cracks me up. Bein all European and what not.

I like this Kenny Omega guy, he just seems cool.

So I recently heard that Jeff might not renew his contract, but I’m not really buying that.

Well, Mick Foley is a World Champion again, and a hell…maybe, I don’t know for sure. Oh, well. In a week of holding the title he’s already been a better champion than I thought he would be. I just hope he loses it at Sacrifice.

Trevor Murdoch is in TNA now with a cowboy name. Actually, I like it.

I heard amazing Red teams with Suicide in the next TNA episode. I’m glad, I’ve heard a lot about him, but I’ve never been able to see him wrestle. I’m looking forward to it.

An early prediction for the 2010 Royal Rumble…CM Punk. I’m not saying I hope he wins it, and I’m sure I’ll change it by that time.

I was going to do some Backlash predictions, but I didn’t get this in in time so I’ll just go over it quickly.

First off I liked The Steamboat/Jericho match. It was a good match, and it gave Jericho a reason to be on PPV. Steamboat is still pretty good, and he doesn’t seem afraid to do any of his old highflying stuff. Still has the best arm drag in the game.

I missed the first ten minutes of Swagger vs. Christian due to stream problems. What I did see was pretty good. I was expecting Swagger to hold onto the belt for a little longer though. Maybe have an actual feud that built up to Christian winning, but oh well. I liked the ending. Swagger still looks strong, and Christian still looks like Christian.

Punk vs. Kane was a very good match I thought. My only complaint is that I think they made Punk look a little to strong by dominating Kane most of the match. Of course it’s my belief they are currently trying to build up Punk, and he dominated Kane intelligently through out the match so it’s okay. And Kane walked away with the win so it’s all good.

I was honestly disappointed in the I Quit match. My night wasn’t ruined by it by any means, but I know they can do better. I think they need to give them more time. It was a good match though. Mainly spots from Jeff, with brawling from Matthew. I just wish they had done more. There wasn’t a lot of weapons usage. The tying Matt to a table thing was great though. Never seen that before. I figured he was gonna quit before Jeff jumped, but it was all good anyways. I’m wondering if they’re gonna do a Cowboy Bob Orton thing with Matt and his brand new cast.

I wish Orton hadn’t won the title in this match. It just takes away form the reign of it if you ask me. However if it keeps setting up things like him vs. MVP I’ll gladly let it slide. And Triple H is gonna be out for a while, so we can have others rise up to the top of Raw now. The match itself was okay. I liked how Orton won with the punt.

The Last Man Standing match was probably the best match of the night. They made Cena look like Superman, but they did the same thing with Edge. He got up from a super F-U. I thought the match was over then. When he did get up though, I knew the match was gonna be an ass kicker. My only two complaints are that Cena got up from a con chair to on the ramp, and the cheesy explosion when he went through the spotlight. That, by the way, was an awesome ending. I just wish the reign had lasted longer.

I would like to take just a moment to thank everyone who proved that The Vince was the Hulk Hogan of these articles, and I was the Ric Flair. He was pretty popular for a long time, but whose legacy is living on? Mine. And I’ve got you people to thank for it. Taking off the Morpher, and ditching the giant robot, and that whole persona probably helped too, but hey.

Looking forward to my new ROH episode. I can finally give my input into conversations about the promotion now.

I’ll admit, Danielson is very very good. But he’s got a hell of a ways to go before he can call himself the best in the world. I believe if he tries he can do it though.

I get annoyed at people who call Bryan Danielson American Dragon. Not the people that call The American Dragon Bryan Danielson, or Bryan Danielson The American Dragon. Just American Dragon. I know that was his ring name for a while in Japan, but get over it. He’s Bryan Danielson. When they call him just American Dragon all the time it makes them sound like they are trying to be real smarky.

I’m still itching to see Roderick Strong on the ROH show.

Me and friends are finally able to wrestle again. I’ve got a little make shift ring in four door garage. Hopefully we can wrestle at the YMCA soon again. We’re Next Generation Wrestling by the way. No champs yet, we’re still getting off the ground.

So is like Santino face now or what? I’m getting tired of this tranny.

Did you guys know that Dr. Death Steve Williams had throat cancer, and he has to talk with like something called a stoma. He’s getting a little voice box or something. Anyway Wrestler Rescue or whatever it’s called is taking donations to help pay for it. You can check out a link on the message boards at www.harleyrace.com

Kofi for champ!

The only reason I’m writing this last one is because I need to meet some ridiculous word requirement. My God you can make an article as long you want that doesn’t make it good, why can’t people get that through their heads. Anyway, I like that Jericho is on SmackDown. He’s going to do very well over there.

Well that’s my analysis. I suppose it’s time for the Jim Johnston Cup.

Here are the results. Edge’s Metalingus beat out The Game by 9-5. Shawn kicked The Chairman of the Boards teeth out 10-4. The Rock got bit by the Rattlesnake 9-5. Now this one is interesting. Real American, and R.I.P. tied with 7. In the event of a tie I cast my vote. And there is no denying that Undertaker is the better wrestler. As far as themes go though none beat Hogan. Therefore Hulkamania lives 8-7. So next rounds match ups are as follows:

Edge (Metalingus) vs. Shawn Michaels (Sexy Boy)

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan (Real American)
Hey didn’t I just do that last one?

That’s all for this week folks. Peace, Love, and Candy
