lol "she finally exists''

[Triple Naitch]

Thank god. I don't know why but Michelle annoys the shit out of me. Maybe it's all the spinning and pointing in her entrance. Nonetheless, I'd still fuck her. But it would be an angry fuck.

[RGWhat316]

About damn time that McRib, McBland, McTaker lost the title. Though it is still a "divas" title which means no experienced women wrestlers are the ones feuding over it. Though it also seems that a Canadian seems to always win a title in their country every time they are over there.

And sounds like Toronto is already starting. I'm curious who the "you can't wrestle" chant was directed at.

[Volare]

Hottest girl on Smackdown! (IMO) finally wins. Thank god.

[Innovator]

MARYSE!

[Kane Knight]

"You can't wrestle!"

[Theo Dious]

Maryse is awful, period.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Shit, forgot all about Umaga.

Wonder if he'll talk upon re-debut.</font>

[Volare]

"Blahboggablahbleppft....*cough* I mean greetings...My name is Umaga Robinson."

[Lux]

At the same time I hope I'm out friday night I wouldn't mind staying in and watching McCool FINALLY lose the damn belt, wait thats still a belt right?

[Hanso Amore]

YAY MARYSE!

[Gertner]

MARYSE!!!!! YESSS!

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Finally McCool loses the belt, hooray for Maryse.

[BigDaddyCool]

Has McCool even defended her title until now?

[Mr. Nerfect]

She defended it twice -- once against Maryse and once against Maria, I believe. It's quite sad. It's also sad that this seems the most noteworthy part of the show. It seems like we'll be getting Triple H winning the Royal Rumble, to face Jeff Hardy or Edge at Mania (hopefully we get a heel turn somewhere if he's facing Hardy). Kozlov will probably challenge Trips for his title shot at No Way Out, and suffer his first pinfall loss, etc.

Carlito vs. The Brian Kendrick will be fun. Kendrick jobbed, so I assume he's still not off the pot. Would it hurt Triple H to actually wrestle a real match against Chavo Guerrero? He's such a good talent, and for some reason I am actually interested in the prospect of a ten-minute match or so between the two.

Glad Shelton Benjamin is still the US Champion. He's having a pretty good run with the thing, really. He's doing the "always comes out on top when the lights are on bright" thing that JBL used to talk about. That'll be a good match, and although I expect Helms to take the belt from him, it'll be a good program and chase until then.

i want punk cena anf hardy to be heels so bad

[KYR]

i want punk cena anf hardy to be heels so bad

There would have to be a trade-off if that were the case.

So which heels would you want to become faces?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Which Hardy are we talking about? I'm assuming Matt still, so that means two face turns on RAW and a face turn on ECW. Well, the easy one first:

John Morrison breaks up with The Miz, and goes after Matt Hardy as a face. Morrison is improving so much, and has the personality to handle being the top face of a brand like ECW.

RAW is a bit trickier. For some reason, I want to gamble and see a face Chris Jericho again -- but with the same personality as heel Jericho. Not a straight return to his old character, but more a development of this one. It would be tricky, but incredibly awesome if pulled off.

TBK vs Carlito is just building up for TBK and Zeke to win the tag titles.

Mmm-hmm. Course, but where did I say it wasn't?
