  1. I don't post much here anymore, but figured this could be of some interest to the B10 fans... from the Lafayette JC

     

    Barring significant improvement, sophomore forward Robbie Hummel's back spasm issue probably will be ongoing throughout the remainder of the 2008-09 season.

     

    The Preseason Big Ten Player of the Year selection did not practice Friday or Saturday after landing on his back diving for a loose ball in Thursday night's 63-61 victory at Northwestern.

     

    Hummel, averaging 13.8 points and 7.9 rebounds, started Sunday and tweaked his back early in the first half when he ran into an illegal screen. He sat for two minutes, then returned to action.

     

    In 18 minutes against Iowa, Hummel had nine points, eight rebounds and two assists.

     

    Hummel did not practice Monday, and according to coach Matt Painter, probably won't practice today.

     

    The 6-foot-8 forward may practice lightly on Wednesday and is expected to start Thursday night at No. 21 Minnesota.

     

    "We're trying our best to give him rest and see how he feels," Painter said. "It hasn't felt real good. Any time you can get a break, it's great."

     

    With him and Kramer :lolhitting

    From what I read on Foxsports, Lesnar screwed himself over when he had Mir down because he landed a punch to the back of Mir's head, which stopped the fight and allowed Mir to gather himself.

     

    Still though, I expected Lesnar to do better

     

     

    After the first taking down Lesnar got a warning and then a timeout and deduction from the ref. It was hard to catch the warning and some people have been b****ing, but the dvr confirmed he received it after the first glancing blow.... which he quickly followed with another direct shot.

    Apparently Zeller will announce on Monday.

    ND has never really been in it with the other 3.

    He said he was interested in waiting to see what, if anything happened with IU and the NCAA; but he's obviously not waiting, which would lead one to believe it's between UNC and Purdue.

     

    Other than the fact he really likes Purdue's Industrial Management program and is familiar with the Freshman and LewJack, you'd have to think he take UNC over Purdue 10 out 10 times.

    Question, when Jay was hanging from the hook, how was it done? I would imagine someone being hung upside down while bleeding for that entire promo could of passed out.

     

     

    He was bleeding, but despite what many of the ROH forum posters will tell you, almost all of the "blood" coming down on Jimmy was fake. As he left the ring you could tell by the color and sheer amount that they rigged him somehow to pour like a faucet before hanging him.

     

     

  5. I pretty much agree with Republican across the board. Although I think the Ladder Match is definitely a MOTY candidate. Is it the MOTY? Probably not, but definitely top 5 in ROH this year.

     

    As for the P161 stuff... I had the pleasure of being on the aisle and then the row that Jacobs and Black used to hit the ring. Heard the awful screaming and next thing I knew Jimmy was pushing me back to cut down the aisle. I'm not a fan of Necro, so that was disappointing and the whole thing with Jimmy drinking Jay's blood was a bit much. I'm not sure why, but it just bothered me a bit.

     

    Also, if they're so anti-ROH, why did they use the entry ramp for their match?? They should have entered from the crowd again.

     

    The "new" Lacey sucks too, I called her a whore to her face on their way to the back and she just looked at me with a blank stare. No screaming at me or anything. She's always been such a fun and good sport in the past...

    So does anyone think any titles change hands tonight at the ROH PPV taping?

     

     

    I'd like to see Dragon take it, but I think both Champs retain.

     

     

    Morishima holds it til Final Battle, dropping it to Dragon.

     

    Briscoes retain, start feuding with P161/Age of the Fall... Steenerico implodes and starts a singles battle between the two for the rest of the year.

    I find myself happier watching shows like Joe vs Punk II instead of watching the E programming. I watched the undercard tonight and am saving Joe/Punk for tomorrow night when I don't have stuff I need to be doing. That Shelley/Jacobs "I Quit" match was pretty entertaining.

     

    Can't wait for my next paycheck. I am going to order the two ROH in Japan shows and Good Times Great Memories (or I may just get them when I am at the 9.15 show in Chicago Ridge for the 3rd PPV taping), an ROH CM Punk shirt and perhaps the NRC shirt. That NRC shirt is pretty freaking sweet.

     

    And speaking of the 9.15 show in the Ridge -- any Soxtalkers here going? I am banking on getting GA tickets or 6th/7th row during walkup.

     

    Announced matches so far:

     

    Matt Sydal vs Delirious

     

    Daizee Haze + Amazing Kong vs Sara Del Ray and Lacey

     

    The Briscoes vs Steenerico for the ROH Tag Titles in the first ever ROH Ladder Match

     

     

    I'll be there, like usual :headbang

     

     

    I've got my money 1 of the following happening in the Tag Title Match:

     

    1. Briscoes retain, then get laid out by P161; possible Steen going nuts on Generico

    2. P161 causes the Briscoes the belts

     

    If the Brisoces win, I'm curious as to where the tag division goes, they need some fresh faces.

    Chikara shows again why it is such a great promotion.

     

    Moscow, the Communist Bovine lost his match against USApe due to interference by a debuting wrestler -- Moohammed.

     

    And did anybody read what happened at ROH yesterday?

     

    Whitmer, Pearce and Albright took out Delirious last night. Pearce talked crap about masks in wrestling and Whitmer stapled the mask to Delirious' head!

     

    Can't wait for Morishima vs Danielson tonight.

     

     

    Tonight's ROH card is fully stacked. I don't think Dragon gets his belt back just yet.

     

    Also, I really hope Albright doesn't get grouped with those two for good.

    So TNA is rumored to be interested in Rikishi, A-Train aka Prince Albert, Nidia, and Shelly "Ariel" Martinez.

     

    I wonder what other ex-WWE employees they'll get next.

     

     

    Like it's been said, Rikishi probably isn't happening, which is there was payroll room for Test.

     

    Albert has looked impressive in most of the Japan stuff I've seen, not that TNA would use him correctly.

    I posted the same thing after last weeks show. High 5, Kurt!

     

    Did Pacman show up? I didn't watch all of it. I laughed when Kurt was looking for Nash cuz he is the only one that understands him. I'm starting to like Angle in TNA.

     

     

    Nope. Just his 2-3 promos.

     

     

     

    We did get Matt Morgan doing his best Adam Pearce impression...

     

     

    Every week I'm amazed at how awful their product is considering how solid their roster is. If both Steiners and VKM retired today, I'd be a happy man.
