Rey Misterio, Jr vs. Superfly Snuka would be a great match of high flyers.

 

Oh of course.

 

Just watched Raw as I was gone all week. Nothing really too noteworthy other than the Jericho-Michaels match. Those two just seem to get it. Fun match that I want to see again.

I also liked the debut of Ted Dibiase Jr. Curious as to who his tag team partner is. I also liked the subtle nod to history with him calling out Cody Rhodes (for those who don't know, Dusty and Ted Sr. had a heated fued years back). I think it would be awesome to have Ted DiBiase Jr. payoff Dustin to be his tag partner. That could be cool.

The draft is coming back and I couldn't really care less. My prediction: Cm Punk ends up on Raw. Everything else is elementary really.

 

Yeah good call on that. I was thinking of someone to fight Rey. I was going to put Rob Van Dam, but I wasn't sure if they ever fought. I would have loved to do a Mysterio vs. Liger but I know they did face each other at Starrcade 95, too bad that was over his brain cancer.

 

RVD and Rey Misterio, Jr. never went up against each other, as far as I know. They did team up and held the tag team titles. And one of their double team moves was called the 4-20 (Because, you know, four legs and 20 is their combined shoe size. )

 

Well if that's the case then I'd rather see RVD vs. Rey over Snuka. I was never a big Snuka guy. I think RVD and Rey would put on a better match.

 

Hell, throw them all in a triple threat match.

 

Done!

 

I literally haven't watched wrestling since the 90's. But I just finished reading Bret Hart's book.
What a freaking read. Since I started reading it, I've found myself slowly starting to watch wrestling again.
But it's not the same, I don't know anyone anymore and there isn't alot of a "wrestling" anymore.
But as far as Hart's book goes, it is a must read.

 

Scratch what I said earlier. RVD did go up against Rey Mysterio.

Best Rey Rey Match I have ever seem is him and Huvi in WCW at Starcade, or any match of Rey's in ECW.

 

Yeah. I remember one match I saw on Youtube of Konnan and Rey Misterio, Jr vs Juventud Guerrera and Psychosis in ECW.

 

Rey vs. Eddy from Halloween Havoc 1997 might be the best match of Rey's career. Simply awesome match with Eddy playing the supreme rudo heel dick.

I agree....this is one of the best matches I've ever seen....flawless. I also love the match Eddy had with Dean Malenko a few months later at Starcade '97

 

If you like Rey, you should get both of his WWE DVDs, the guy pre-WWE was a walking/flying 5 star match machine. It's a shame that he turned to steroids and with the extra bulk and injuries that piled up he's not nearly the wrestler he used to be.

Anyway my favorite Rey matches are obviously the match with Eddie at Halloween Havoc in '97, his debut match vs. Dean Malenko at Great American Bash in 96, vs. Pyschosis at Bash at the Beach in '96 and his match against Super Calo at Fall Brawl in '97 I believe.

 

Dean Malenko had great matches with alot of guys, Rey and Eddie included. he had Eddie had great chemistry in the ring, and torn down the ECW arena several times.

sidebar; supposedly Malenko is the guy who invented the Crippler Crossface, as well as Goldberg's finisher, the Jackhammer.

 

Malenko invented a lot of moves. Other wrestlers just popularized them.

 

Yeah but Chris Jericho is the man of 1,004 holds.

 

one of my faves........

 

yeah, take it easy Hillbilly Jim.









Stupid.

 

don't you have a tanning salon to fall asleep in?



stupid guido.

 

i burned my face off golfing today. and of course i had big oakleys on so i have sick raccoon eyes going.


way to stalk me...




weirdo.

 

thanks for the in depth story no one was interested in.


stupid.

 

i saw you stalking me.






screw you creepo.

 

fu ged about it. I watched donnie brasco today so I can speak italian american now.

 

so you added fugazee to your arsenal?

 

naw.



stupid mook.

 

good, fugazee is actually a fugazee term anyhow.







dumb frickin stoonadtz

 

Anybody catch One Night Stand? I'm not able to. (No Cable/Sat.)

 

so is undertaker coming back?

 

Yeah probably by Summer Slam.

 

do you feel like a big man because you know that?

 

Haha. Nah it was just a guess. I'm assuming he'll be back by then. It gives him a few months to rest. I think the earliest you'll see him is Summer Slam, the latest a few weeks before WM25. But he'll be back.

 

No way UT goes out like that. For two decades he has been THE company man. Moreso than any other wrestler ever...in fact. They wouldn't just let him walk out like that. Expect that when he does go out, he gets a celebration probably on a grander scale than Flair got.

Also, was it just me or were the refs REALLY loud tonight? I swear the ref during the Jericho match was downright distracting with his yelling. I wish Jericho would have hit HIM with a chair...

 

HBK was not on Raw nor was he backstage...wonder if he going to take a little time off...

 

I seem to recall that he needed knee surgery. He may be taking care of that now. The good thing (hopefully) about stars like HBK, UT and Orton being out is that is forces the WWE to put newer guys at the top and see how they pan out. Jeff Hardy has already made his ascension to the top, whether he stays there or not is a point to be debated. But guys like KEnnedy an dBurchill are getting a high profile program and the youngins on ECW seem to be really worth something (Kofi, Benjamin, Punk, Morrison).

 

Maybe Undertaker comes back as "Mr. America" wearing a mask with a star on it with red white and blue tights.....yeh.....
