Update: Per chikarafans.com Lince just has a serious concussion but should be okay with plenty of rest.

And holy s***, I just watched the BJ Whitmer/Jimmy Jacobs cage match from SCoH II. Dear God, what a match. Wow.

I feel bad for Aries and Strong in the match after. There's not much they could do to top what happened previously.

Important news that you will read here first. Highlight with caution!!!

All this save_us stuff is the return of Chris Jericho. Can you believe it! It is the best kept secret ever! Y2J returns on Raw tomorrow. I'm not joking. this is huge! OMG!!!11!!

Edge returns and helps Batista retain. Batista was out after a tombstone on the stairs when Edge attacked.

Randy Orton retained after HBK tried different finishers like the sharp shooter, ankle lock, and CRIPPLER CROSSFACE.

Eh PPV.

Y2J tomorrow. Mark out in t-minus 22 hours

My friend and I felt awkward when he did the crippler crossface. I couldn't really make myself look right at the screen. It felt sort of dirty.

That is how the crowd sounded as well. I did like the ending to the match. HBK stopping himself when he would of used Sweet Chin Music on instinct and Randy hits the RKO. Love the way Orton sold the superkick when the match was over.

I'm shocked Batista won after seeing this pic.

Jericho's titan tron has been leaked. Worst kept secret by WWE ever. Pretty cool.

LOL
Fantastic!!!

That voice should not be coming out of that man.

And dear god, I've been watching Raw with absolutely no reaction.

Needs more 'Boom Boom' Colt Cabana!

haha, Orton is great tonight.. I love the RKO's out of nowhere

And I am assuming Jericho is gonna interrupt his ceremony.

I had to pick my dad up from the airport, so glad I didn't miss Jericho. i would assume he will be interrupting the ceremony which is fine.

I saw the Lawler RKO, what others did I miss?

I wont be surprised if Jillians "mexican talk" promo gets her fired.

The womens division is awful

he also RKOed Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly after they finished their match.

To each their own. I think there is some talent in the women's division.

Making Carlito job to Hornswoggle before releasing him.

I'm watching Raw via TIVO...

Folks, Bob Holly is on my screen in 2007. This would be like Chris Snopeck starting at 3rd for the Sox in 08. The guy was never drew a f***ing dime, and he's boring as all hell and the crowd dies when he comes out. The best moment of the Bob Holly era was when he tried to be a hard ass with Brock, and he got dropped right on his head for his trouble.

Except it was one of those badass RKO's like at the 2007 Rumble..

He RKO'd Rhodes and then started to talk, and then he stopped and kind of looked to the side and noticed Holly slowly getting up so he dropped the mic and RKO'd him and then picked up where he left of.. it was great.

Jericho also looks better than I thought he was going to. Good to have him back.

Jericho looked a tad thinner than he was, which is to be be expected, but still cut.

I though WWE screwed up production wise. Looked like there was more animation on the screen to spell out Jericho but they were zoomed in too far.

Not sure how I feel about him putting Orton over on his return. The way he sounded in his book, it is probably his idea to do so.

Florida crowds blow.

If this Y2J deal was in Philly, MSG, or Chicago, it would've been 1000 times better.

I agree.

How long til LCR kills my Y2J buzz with more talk about Shakira or whatever he watches?

100 percent agreed. The crowd pop was decent, but it would have reached deafening if it had taken place elsewhere. Jericho looked really pumped up, but the intro lasted too long because the crowd didnt last as long as they should have.

LOL at Jericho calling Orton robotic and boring

For what its worth

A guy at Wrestlezone who was there said it was deafening when Jericho came out..

Did you pay for this information?

Maybe it was just the WWE TV audio going over the top of the actual audience audio. For whatever reason, it seemed that the crowd quieted very quickly

Yeah, watching the video they did seem to quiet at some parts.. but then again they seemed real loud at parts too.. I bet next time he comes out he gets a huge pop

Matt Hardy had an emergency appendectomy before the smackdown tapings the other day and is expected to miss a good chunk of the next 2 months recovering. pretty scary stuff, his blood was already being poisoned by the released toxins

[kayfabe]Damn you, MVP and your shenanigans![/kayfabe]

Off to go play SDvR2008. Surprisingly mediocre but replay is alright until I get bored of it in less than a week. Yay rentals.

This may sound bad, but Matt's appendectomy comes at a good time storyline wise. He could make a surprise return at Rumble, attacking and eliminating MVP and go on to win the belt at WM.

So, this may sound obsessive and all, but I recently purchased a picture of Mr. Perfect on ebay put it on my wall...framed.

One more Chikara show added for 12.9 at Penn State Univ. For those in the area prepare to see "Stephen Colbert>Bill O'Reilly" (yes, that is the name of the show) after the Lince Dorado injury and the Claudio/Hero match not being wrestled at Chapter 11.

Just got done watching Smackdown, don't mean to play spoiler but....




Am I the only one that thinks this Edge/Vicki Guerrero thing is a little creepy?

No. I guess the angle was suppose to be Edge and Krystal but Kystal didn't feel like doing it morally and got released. Krystal will do water fights in white shirts but won't be a heel escort with Edge. Would of elevated her career.

Well look what happened to the last heel escort related to Edge and what happened.

Yep that was indeed the case. She didn't wanted to be hated like Lita was, which is really pretty stupid.

I'm a big Edge fan, and he along with Jericho are most what the WWE needs right now, but yeah this storyline is a bit creepy.

It could all end up being like the McMahon Helmsely era though.

I think Edge wins next Friday than says he was using Vickie to get what he wants and ditches her. They have other females they could use than VG. Victoria anyone?

For the ROH fans here, or people interested in picking up a DVD for a good price. ROH has extended their Black Friday sale until tomorrow at 8am, it's 35% off your entire order. I'm still deciding if theres something that I want....would anyone suggest any shows from this year? I've seen every show up until the shows in Japan.

Mickie James v. Melina tonight on Raw, winner gets a title shot at Armageddon

HHH/Hardy v. Snitsky/Umaga to kick the show off.

Flair to "retire" or retire tonight...not really sure what to make of this one. I'd like for him to somehow win the title once more before he actually does retire.

He's said in interviews that he's been waiting for creative to come up with a storyline for him. Either this is the storyline, or maybe he's tired of waiting.

I'd suggest:

The Best of Chikara -- It's $10.00 Get it and enjoy it. It is awesome.

As for ROH:
Supercard of Honor II (if nothing else for that cage match)
Good Times, Great Memories
FYF: Chicago
Both ROH in Japan shows
The Battle of St. Paul (which I've heard is an underrated show)
Driven
Race to the Top Night 1 and Night 2
Manhattan Mayhem II

I recently picked up Supercard of Honor, Joe vs Kobashi and a few other shows (Driven).

And oh yeah, I was watching the Mario and Sonic @ the Olympic Games commercial -- is it bad that I was like "Go Danielson!" when the Final Countdown was playing?

So VKM says the next time Flair loses a match, his career is over.
Ugh.

EDIT: so now Orton comes to the ring and challenges Flair to a match - could this crappy angle possibly lead to one more title run for Flair?

The first match he loses, Flair retires. /kayfabe

This'll lead to a farewell tour at WrestleMania to put over a young talent.

I already heard from a friend that this angle is Stone Cold's idea, and that Flair will lose at Wrestlemania and retire. That leaves plenty of time (about half a year) to get him the title one last time. Maybe it'll happen at the Royal Rumble.

Hacksaw and Crazy as a tag team = GOLD.

Plus the Rhodes/Holly/Hacksaw/Crazy team with the crowd's USA chant = ironic gold.

Man, nobody is wondering where Hacksaw's been when he's off Raw...even when Raw's been in his hometown.

And if Cade and Murdoch ever went to Japan, they'd be so over.

Does Jericho interfere allowing Flair to win the match?

It'd be funny if guys kept running in every time Flair wrestles and just lightly slapping Flair to get his opponents DQ'd for outside interference.

HHH "I'm an 11 time champ not because I made friends."

Nope. It was because you were screwing the boss's daughter.

This Jericho/Cookie Monster/WWE Title/Match "Me Want Title Match" thing is pretty funny.

Oh man, Santino! This has comedy gold written all over it.

LOL KYJ.

Well, this kind of sucks because I can't find a picture for "more," but whatever:

more

Are you f***ing kidding me???
A Road Runner skit??????

Damn, Vince must be PISSED OFF at Carlito.

Could've gone with Michael Moore or Mary Tyler Moore...
