Wallbanger Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Well, I went ahead and bought this -- I'm most interested in Punk v. Benoit, but there are some other decent possibilities for really good matches. We'll see how things go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I am mostly interested in Punk/Benoit too! The 5 man WWE title match can be good. Edge/Batista won't be a good match probably, but I do care about the result... Who are Deuce/Domino facing? (I didn't buy the show, so I'll just proxy-watch it through here...)

Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!! Benoit is a no-show due to "personal reasons". I haven't been reading any of the other wrestling sites, so not sure what the real scoop is. MJ, looks like you saved yourself $40. Oh, and they replaced Benoit with....Johnny Nitro. :( EDIT: AND PINNED PUNK CLEANLY!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Favorite Sign of the Night (so far): Is Umaga really Rosie O'Donnell?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Wasn't planning on recapping, but no worries. Currently in the ring is MVP and Flair. (Sign at ringside: A Horseman vs. a Horse's Ass) Cade and Murdoch retained vs. The Hardyz (World Tag Team) Chavo Guerrero retained vs. Jimmy Wang Yang (Cruiserweight) (God this hurts to type) Johnny Nitro defeats CM Punk (ECW World) Santino Marella retained vs. Umaga (DQ, followed by massive beatdown of Marella by Umaga) (Intercontinental) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai of Mattitude Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Dammit, I was REALLY looking forward to Punk/Benoit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 ...aaand to no one's surprise, MVP retains. (US Title) Deuce and Domino's "open challenge" is up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 [quote=Sensai of Mattitude;249523]Dammit, I was REALLY looking forward to Punk/Benoit.[/quote] Tell me about it. That match was pretty much the only reason I hit the 'buy' button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Was that bit about Juvi a joke? Don't you mean Chavo? Weird about the whole Benoit thing... If they wanted to have a Benoit/Punk feud, why have Nitro win??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 :o Oh god, you're right. I'll go edit that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Manning Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Nitro the ECW champion....Melina must have REAALLYYY be holding him back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Deuce and Domino retain, and proceed to extend the beatdown to Sarge and Superfly when Tony Garea and Rick Martel (former champs sitting at ringside) make the save... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joose2001 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 In all seriousness, Im really pleased that Nitro won it. I havent got the PPV this time, so was checking through the results on 411, then saw it come up as Punk Vs Nitro, so didnt know what the hell was going on. Anyway, I think hes one hell of a talented guy, and hopefully this will be something that propels him higher up the ratings and in people minds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joose2001 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You know what wouldve been great then....... ARROGANCE IN THE EYES OF DnD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I don't necessarily disagree re: Nitro's talent, I'm just not fond of his packaging. And the way this came about tonight just left a bad taste in my mouth. Chants from the crowd: "We want Benoit!", "Boring!" and very little heat otherwise.

shamelessposer Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 There are an awful lot of people who'd make worse ECW champions than Nitro. He just needs to build up some "hardcore" cred over the next month or so. EDIT: But I do wonder if he might be a little too young and that Benoit probably would have been the better choice. Unless they want Benoit to stay in the undercard and help train a lot of the up-and-comers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Manning Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Ya Nitro a bit more time on a lower tier title or at least had some promo time or somethin! any word on what happened to Benoit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Edge/Batista coming up. Re-occuring theme for the night is heels talking trash to former champs sitting at ringside. Edge's partner: Harley Race. MVP's from earlier: Magnum TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 i really think Nitro is a talent. Im glad the have given him the belt. Was i the only person who marked out like a bitch when Super-fly went up top? Im gonna be so tired at work tommorow! Come on Foley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
