His style is mainly arounds high-flying and irish whip menuvers.

Its been awhile I havent seen him wrestle... And for godskaes could someone tell me what his fucking finisher is.

I believe his two finishers are the Twist of Fate & Swanton Bomb

I read somewhere that he now does a verison of the Twist of fate where he twists into a sitout jawbreaker type finish rather than the cutter type finish.

Hmm...he very well might be. So you mean instead if the opponents face hitting the canvas, the opponents jaw "hits" his shoulder? That does sound like something that could be sold as a more powerful finish...

Meh, a Twist of Fate is still a Twist of Fate :P

I forgot to tell you guys that Jamie Noble had a match on Velocity a while ago. Maybe WWE will hire him again, but then again who knows.

I just read the SD! spoilers. Glad to see that WWE modified their mistake in time by allowing MNM to recapture the gold. It was a silly idea to make Bastista and Rey the belts just in order to make a champions vs champions match at Armageddon. In addition, I really hope that Melina does not get released because of the "sexual harassment". Otherwise, MNM will not exist any more. Oh, retarded WWE, they made Randy Orton job to Benoit. I mean, he jobbed to Taker already at Armageddon when he was supposed to win which would make him strong. Benoit is still a great wrestler, but he passed his prime already, and that's why he has to compete for the U.S title right now. It is said that RO is going to win the RR and beat Batista at WM22. Therefore, he needs to carry the momentum going to WM. Now he has lost two old wrestlers who have nothing to do with the WHC. Even if RO wins the Rumble. People will ask how a guy who lost to two old wrestler who had nothing to do with the WHC title win the Rumble? The bottom line is that the booking for RO really sucked recently. There is another problem: who is going to chanllenge Batista for the WHC belt at RR? According to the logic, Taker should be the challenger since he won the HIAC match. But he is a part-time worker now, so I doubt that he will be the challenger. In addition, a Batista vs Undertaker match will kill Batista's face pops. JBL is getting stale. (Batista beat him at leat 5 times already.) Booker T is in the U.S title level and Rey is a face. So what do you think about it? Who will challenge Batista for the title at RR and No Way Out? What do you guys think about RO's recent booking? Welcome to discuss.

Well isnt Batista already in a feud with Mark Henry? Well after this weeks Smackdown I damn sure think he is.

Mark Henry? They brought HIM back? Of all the talent they have both sitting at home and at OVW they choose a guy whom they have tried countless times to get over and each time has failed? Smart move there wwe... always looking for something new....

------
Mark Henry sucked, and that was why he was fired. It will blow my ass if they have Mark Henry against Batista for the title at RR. Not to mention Henry's suckiness, he should not be an upper carder for the WHC. I mean, the last time when I saw him was in 2002 and it will be pointless if he suddenly becomes the No.1 contender after attacking Batista. According the this fucked up logic, Simon Dean will be the No.1 contender if he sneak attacks Batista. WTF??!!

I know he sucks but wow he man handled Batista as if he was a cruiserweight. But I think putting Mark henry in the WH chase is a bad idea I've never liked Mark and personally I think Vince made a big mistake rehiring him. And whats with Randy Orton Jobing Benoit? WTF? He's probably a futur WHC and he lost to an older Benoit? Thats fucked up.

Don't tell me too much more on whats supposed to happen tonight. I still plan on watching it.

So yeah I finished the Raven dvd and it was damn good. Now I'm going to start going through the Bret dvd. I'l let you know how it is.

I'd have to agree with you there. They couldn't bring back Austin or Foley (though their characters probably wouldn't pull something like that) no, instead they bring back someone not seen since 2002. And even in 2002, it took everything WWE had (including putting aside other superstars) to get Mark Henry over with the fans. AND EVERY ATTEMPT (except 1 I believe) FAILED!

However, I wouldn't worry about Henry becoming WHC. They are going to use Henry to put Batista over.... just like they use Angle to put over Cena (which sucks, I might add).

I can't imagine being as graceful looking, but could definately be sold more i guess.

Meh, a Twist of Fate is still a Twist of Fate :P

So true. I'm shocked that WWE didn't copywright the move's name.
I'm gonna watch TNA this Saturday, its 5 weeks behind, but coming up to date, so i might as well get to know it a bit for now. It had Christian Cage though, so should be good.

Let me tell you guys something. Mark Henry is just like the "biggest love machine" Viscra, all he has is size. We all know that Big Vis is in jobber land. As a matter of fact, he just jobbed to Masters. So here is my question: why the hell is Mark Henry in the WHC contention since he is only as good as Big Vis? Smart move, WWE!

The Dicks play Texas old-em all the time. Yeh, they know when to hold em. Tasteless jokes anyone?
The Dicks disturb me, not just for their gimmick, just the way they look. Horribly short and muscly. They look too wide for how tall they are.

I jsut have to agree you guys. Mark Henry has some crappy moves that i don't like. And he facing Batista on RR? You got to be kidding me.

Well, glad to hear that Batista and Rey lost the belts. Sad how that gimmick for Armageddon turned out. That sucked. But, glad to see that MNM got the titles back. But what's this thing about Melina?

Anyways, RAW just sucked this week. As a matter of fact, it was so bad, I just decided to play Smackdown vs. RAW (the original) instead. Hell, I could make better matches there than they could in that piss poor show, RAW I mean.

Well, before I go back to doing what I was (playing SD vs. RAW), I just wanted to know about Sting. Is there any spoilers pertaining to his appearance yet? Will he appear on New Years Day, or will TNA wait until Final Resolution to bring him out?

Thanks alot and Happy (early) New Years Eve and Day, everyone.

What I said was that Mark Henry even should not become the No.1 contender. All he has is size, that's it. SD! needs a fresh heel with at least decent in-ring skills to challenge Batista for the title at RR and No Way Out. RO was saved for WM22. JBL jobbed to Batista already. That is why SD! is missing Eddie so much right now. Eddie was a guy who could either be a face or heel, and he was quite good at in-ring skills too. As I said in the last post, a Taker, Batista match-up will kill Batista's face pops. But hey, what choose do they have? If I was Vince, I would rather have Taker vs Batista at RR than rehiring the retarded Mark Henry.

However, I wouldn't worry about Henry becoming WHC. They are going to use Henry to put Batista over.... just like they use Angle to put over Cena (which sucks, I might add).

LordKooler's Friday Night Smackdown review
1.JBL vs Matt Hardy
An Armageddon 2005 rematch. During the match, The Boogeyman came out with worms and began stalking JBL. JBL makes Boogeyman throw worms at Jillian Hall and then JBL runs away. Will this be the start of a feud between JBL & Boogeyman?
2.Mexicools vs The Dicks
As the Tolands, The Dicks were one of the hottest prospects in indy wrestling. Chad Dick got his start in Chaotic Wrestling and was a Tag Team and Heavyweight champion there. WWE uses Chaotic Wrestling as a training ground even though it's not a WWE developmental territory like Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling. Palmer Cannon wrestled in Chaotic Wrestling before he signed a WWE contract and John Cena's father is a ring announcer in Chaotic Wrestling. Christopher Nowinski recently became a commentater in Chaotic Wrestling. While James Dick is a former OVW Tag Team Champion with Chris Cage and Chad Dick. When the Tolands were called up to wrestle on Smackdown, They were renamed "The Dicks" and were given a stupid gimmick. The Mexicools won at the end.
3.Melina segment
Not much to say about this one. It's about Melina sueing Batista for sexual harassment.
4.Chris Benoit vs Randy Orton
Because of Booker T's injury, Randy Orton subsitutes for Booker T who is 3-1 in the best of seven series match for the US Title. Randy Orton is without his Father in this match because of what happened to him at Armageddon. When he isn't managing his son Randy on Smackdown, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Jr sells used cars. Chris Benoit won by DQ when Sharmell hit Benoit with that leg thing that Booker T uses to walk with the cast to prevent Randy orton from tapping out to the crossface. Booker T currently leads the series 3-2. Can Benoit do what the Red Sox did in the 2004 ALCS and pull off the greatest comeback in wrestling history?
5.Kid Kash segment
Funaki interviews the new Cruiserweight Champion Kid Kash and Kid Kash explains the real meaning of the word Juventud and then attacks Funaki.
6.Lashley vs Sylvan
Lashley won again. But this time by count out.
7.MNM vs Batista & Rey Mysterio
During the match, Mark Henry interfered and attacked Batista helping MNM win back the Tag Team Titles. Why did they bring Mark Henry back? Many people hate him because he isn't a good wrestler and because he's a hoss and gets lots of X-Pac Heat. But don't worry, His contract expires in 2006. Meaning that we won't see him in WWE anymore.

"My god, there's Dicks popping up all over the place!"

Man, good thing The Dicks are on the roster. I love the announcer's dick jokes.

Speaking of which, the match with Mexicools was great. They're probably my favorite tag team right now. Great double-teaming.

Mark Henry...ah, the failure WWE STILL won't let go. Seriously, Vince needs to except that not everything he personally likes is going to get over. I remember reading Foley's book, and Foley was talking about how they had this whole merchandising blitz ready for Henry, when Steve Austin, who was standing there as the merchandising guy was coming around talking to guys about t-shirts and such (this was when the first Mankind t-shirts were being readied) jokingly asked about a Stone Cold shirt, he was told: "Sorry Steve, the office dosen't really have anything for you right now". Just more proof that the best things Vince has ever done were either accidents that were never intended to get over, or capitilizing on a guy's success and pushing him to the moon (Hogan).

Mark Henry just dosen't have it, he never has, and it's absolute crap that more talented, and more OVER guys then Henry, have been released time and again, yet this piece of crap continues to be in OVW. Well, actually, to be fair? I heard they signed him to a lot of money, guaranteed type money, so they're really just trying to get their money's worth now....not that they ever will. I think it would almost be better to just try and terminate or buy out the contract (whatever's left of it anyway) and send him packing, not like he's got name value or ability to help any other company.

I havn't seen Mark Henry wrestle before, but man does he have the weirdest figure or what? His forearms are tiny compared to the rest of his upper body.

I liked the tag team matches from tonight. Rey and the Mexicools had some good moves.

I remember that part in the book. Crazy huh? Adn teh fact that time and time again we have seen him not get over and wwe tries yet again. Jeeze... give it up already. Also think about this (I know it's been pointed out but I want to emphisize) He has not been seen on mainstream tv since 2001 or 2 (Bout the time Goldberg was still there I belive) and since then he has been at OVW almost exclusivly so his name has not been around at all so only long time fans like most of us remember him. So right now he has no true value in that sense. In all his time in OVW I doubt his skills have inproved much....

Mark Henry's contract expires in mid 2006 but I think WWE should release him earlier. Besides being a bad wrestler, Mark Henry was involved in very stupid storylines when he was Sexual Chocolate. Like when Mark Henry dated someone named Sammy during his storyline with Chyna only to discover that Sammy is a man and everybody knows about his storyline with Mae Young. Remember when she exposed her puppies at the 2000 Royal Rumble bikini contest and when she gave birth to a hand? Those storylines made it to Wrestlecrap. Here's an interesting fact, Mark Henry was trained by Stu & Bret Hart, Who were way better wrestlers than him. Did anyone hear about those rumors that Charlie Haas, Chuck Palumbo, and Aaron "Jesus" Aguilera might return to WWE? And there are also rumors that Sonny Siaki signed a contract with WWE. Are those rumors true?

The Sonny Siaki rumor is true. His contract with TNA expired, and he wasn't interested in renewing it, so he's moving to WWE.

I dont really know him... Is he any good? And wasnt Jeff Jarett in WWE once upon a time? Wasnt he the one who liked smashing people with a guitar?

I'm not sure who Sonny Siaki is either... but yeah jeff jerret was in wwe once upon a time. He started off in a gimick that he was supposed to be a country singer, then he went to being a guy who was pissed all the time and hit people with guitars. He held the IC title a few times and was the one who lost it to Chyna when he departed for WCW.

Current Headlines for New Years Eve 2005

TNA News: iMPACT!, Japan/Mexico Stars, Sting, More News

The first iMPACT! taping of the new year will take place on January 3rd, 2006.

As noted here before, there are plans to bring in international talent from Japan and Mexico. PWI also reports that there are plans for TNA to take the independent bookings of their talents in house in 2006.

TNA will continue to air video packages of their stars on episodes of iMPACT!. There are already videos in the works for Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Monty Brown and Ron Killings. This is obviously a great move by TNA as they can get their stars over more with their fans.

TNA is hoping Sting's name/star power will draw media attention.

WWE Comments TNA On Byte This

On this weeks edition of WWE Byte This, a caller asked about a possible WCW reunion show, but before the caller hung up they commented that “TNA is better then WWE.” Momentarily Todd Grisham got mad and told him to call the TNA show if they have one.

Also another caller stated that “TNA is better than WWE” and then hung up quickly. Todd immediately fired back by saying, “So why are you calling our show, retard?” “Call the TNA Show if they have one.”

Maybe well see a rivalry here between the companies soon.

Gregory Helms Feud With Lawler, Stacy’s Return & New Theme Song

The band by the name of “Zebrahead” has recently finished recording a new theme song for Stacy Keibler. It is being reported that WWE will be using the theme song in January. Stacy currently has been working with the dance program, and has been advised to appear at a SmackDown! Taping in mid-January.

Look for Gregory Helms to be feuding with Jerry “The King” Lawler when he makes his television return. This past Monday on WWE Unlimited he stated that Jerry Lawler has been saying bad things about him, and he’s making him out to be a joke. He then proceeded to state that Helms has plans on shutting him up.

Also Helms feels as if he is being held down and he doesn’t like the fact that he is not on RAW.

Helms as of yet hasn’t wrestled a live edition of RAW since he ditched “The Hurricane” gimmick. Lately he has been competing only at house shows and WWE Heat. Jerry Lawler never commentates on Heat as Jonathan Coachman and Todd Grisham do.

Report: Randy Orton Involved In Confrontation With Fan

Note: This is simply an early report regaurding this incident. Therefore, it should not yet be distinguished as fact.

A PWTorch.com correspondent claims that Randy Orton got into a confrontation with a fan prior to a house show Wednesday.

According to the source, the incident began when the fan insulted Orton for going AWOL. The wrestler responded with a verbal attack against the military, bringing over a WWE security official.

As the exchange continued, Orton reportedly dared the wrestler to come towards him (apparently for a fight). The fan refused, and Orton eventually made his way into the arena.

The security guard proceeded to insult the nearby fans, allegedly saying that he wished the fan did move towards Orton so that the third-generation superstar could "bitchslap him."

Due to the nature of this report, readers are advised to await further information before labeling this "factual." One particular note of concern is the degree of seriousness behind Randy Orton's apparent challenge for a fight.

Former TNA Wrestler Signs With WWE

Reports indicate former TNA wrestler Sonny Siaki has recently signed a deal with WWE.

Right now it is not known when Siaki will start with WWE or if he will be located at the company’s developmental territories. (Ohio Valley Wrestling or Deep South Wrestling).

It appears that Siaki was recommended to WWE by creative team member Dusty Rhodes. During Siaki’s career in TNA, he worked with Rhodes often, as Rhodes was the head booker for the company at the time. Siaki’s contract with TNA had expired earlier this year and he decided not to renew it when the time came around.

Sonny Siaki is one of TNA's lesser wrestlers. He's only been in two matches on TNA since the move to Spike, one he jobbed out to someone in a singles match (might've been Samoa Joe), and another to AMW.
