Lashley vs. Umaga

[Chubbs]

Here we go again.....

[losturtle]

Kane is very underrated. Mainly because he always gets the undercard main event which is rarely noticed. I mean look at the Last Man Standing match with Jericho (Fully Loaded 99 or 00?), His match with RVD a few weeks before facing Shane Mcmahon at Survivor Series and his terrific World Title match with Benoit which led into Triple H vs HBK HIAC. Barely anyone remembers these because their usually just filler for something bigger. I think Taker's a little better but for someone who wrestles a wholly "big man" style (as opposed to Taker's striking and submission offense), Kane probably the best in WWE right now next to Umaga.

Speaking of which, I'm not that impressed with Lashley vs Umaga. Umaga should do a decent job of carrying Bobby but ever since he had Regal and Finlay to fall back on taken away, he's just been going through the motions in his matches. He's had a lot of time and opportunities to step up but he still hasn't. A really great wrestler is in there somewhere but i'm beginning to wonder if we're ever going to see it.

Thank you, losturtle. I could't have said that any better, myself . . .



@ Chubbs: On the contrary. I've said my piece, and that is that. It matters not what born2beskinny has to say, because he has the right. I'm not gonna' bother responding, though, because it really just doesn't matter. We've never see eye-to-eye, before . . . and we never will.

Off topic, but I love Cena's rap at WM20 against Big Show.

"I'm not even facing Big Show, it's all a charade. My match is with the elephant (?) from the Macy's parade."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNMgNhn-dgQ - Big Show/John Cena rap off heh.

"In my world, you the white girl and I'm Kobe Bryant" HAHA fuckin awesome

Lashey was doing just fine until he got sent to ECW. Working Finlay, Regal etc was teaching him more than anything else could do.

Yes indeed.

For as much anti-Lashley sentiment as their is now (which I can completely understand), I thought that two of his macthes against Finlay and Booker, respectively, this past summer were some of the more entertaining matches I'd seen on Smackdown in a while. WWE really needs to stop these short-sighted talent development tactics before it bites them in the ass. Lashley's a guy who's clearly talented and a very good athlete, but they're killing him now by making him try to carry the Titanic ECW.

My whole thing with Lashley is that if he's supposed to be this unstoppable force destroying everything in his path, shouldn't he try to intimdate you in some kinda way? Lashley doesn't intimidate me at all.

Don while i agree with everything you said, you still got a little pissed too fast, no disrespect man.

Now back to topic, Kane vs Khali imo will be entertaining, sure Khali blows dogs for quarters but kane is Kane, he's entertaining usualy no matter what. His little, verry little brawl with Khali last night wasn't too bad, if the WM match is kept short then it might not be a bad big man match, just as long as it's like two monsters going at it.

Now back to the real topic, Umaga vs Lindsey, the end of wwEcw was pretty cool, if they make it look as if Lashley & Umaga are gonna kill each other and security is always needed to stop them then if done right, the fans in attendence will be stoked when they finaly colide at WM. Though i'm sure if WM gets the smarks again this year(i hope they do) then i could see Umaga gettign a decent pop against Lashley.

Both feuds could be played out great, the matches will be entertaining if given short time. Mark my words people will be impressed this year, Batista vs Taker i predict will be pretty good, i see Taker bringing out the best in Batista, plus Cena will do things to impress those of us who hate him. So yeah it's all in the build up, it's all in the build up.

"I'm not even facing Big Show, it's all a charade. My match is with the elephant (?) from the Macy's parade."

Agree.

"Everybody knows the big show cant see me! Im itchin to beat him, like a penis with an S! T! D!"

Man those were the days......the days of when Cena was entertaining and didnt cut childish promos.

Kinda true, i'm thinking it'd be hard to give him any sort of character. You can't make him heel since he needs to cut some promos and with his voice....suffice to say it wouldn't work. And as a face, i just can't find the guy intimidating either. I mean he looks like the sort of guy who'd help old ladies across the street, not beat them with their own walking stick and take their wallet for drug money, which is a vital part of being in ECW.

[JimmyJackJericho]

All he has to do is fuck people up.

He can basically be Goldberg, only without the growling and snarling. Like a cold-blooded Goldberg almost. With more talent. And less hair. I'd have him crush Bibbidy Bob Holly next week on ECW, just fuck him up. And so on, and so forth.

[marchhaire]

He just got done fucking Bob Holly up on ECW.

[rashadz2]

and his terrific World Title match with Benoit which led into Triple H vs HBK HIAC.

Terrific?

[machinegunfunk]

I think this is the second Wrestlemania where the current Intercontinental champ is in the main event.
