What?

sorry...wrong topic, and I heard that Undertaker was going to retire...

The Undertaker? NO! I hope it's not true.

The other day I bought WWE SmackDown VS RAW 2008 for PS2 and I have been playing it almost non-stop. When I went to buy it, 2009 was there but it was $100. I have that much money, but I didn't want to spend it all. I found 2008 and it was $45 but the lady at the counter charged me $35.

Thats cool... I also have 2008 for PS2. I want 2009 badly.

I'm totally bumping this.

I wanna hear any of your thoughts about the whole Matt V.S. Jeff incident. Although my dad told me it was going to happen, I refused to believe it. Lol.

I am a HUGE Jeff Hardy supporter, and until recently I was a bit of a Matt supporter too. I loved 'The Hardy Boyz' (AKA 'Team eXtreme') but the main thing I hate is how Jeff lost the title. To EDGE.

Now, I find Edge quite funny. When he fights someone who I am neutral on or hate, I go for him because he's funny. But against Jeff, with Vickie in his corner. Urrgh. Nothing justifies that.

Well, I still think that Christian Cage will come in at one point or another.

On T.V., I only get to watch SmackDown! condensed into an hour. But I go on WWE.com to find out everything else that's been happening on RAW and ECW.

Since Matt turned heel and crossed over to SD! I don't like many ECW superstars. The Miz, Morrison and that's about it. Oh, and Hornswoggle. Lol.

RAW... Rey Mysterio, John Cena, CM Punk and some others that I can't remember right now. A bit of a mind blank, I've got right now.

I absolutely hate Chris Jericho and Randy Orton. Yes, they are awesome heels, but I very rarely go for the 'bad guy'. These guys just... urrgh.

I hear that Randy Orton wants DH Smith (the son of the British Bulldog and Bret Hart's sister) for Legacy. But I hope he refuses, I want him to be a good guy. And it makes for a good plot.

I just watched some matches on a Ladder Match DVD.

Apparently, Edge and Christian are brothers. LOL. Yeah, they look the same and are both from Toronto, but it was a bit late to say they were brothers. Why does one have a normal name and the other not? But yeah, most of the matches that I've seen on that so far included the Hardy's and Edge and Christian. And a couple had the Dudley Boys as well.

One of the matches was 'Tornado Fatal 4-Way TLC Tag' and it was Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho VS The Dudley Boyz VS Edge & Christian VS The Hardy Boyz. It was confusing trying to tell the difference between Edge, Christian and Jericho, lol.

There was also a match between a 24 year-old Jeff and a 'bikey' Undertaker. Poor Jeff got smashed, but he earned buttloads of respect. Undertaker even raised Jeff's arm at the end.

Another thing, though. At the 2007 Armageddon, Jeff didn't want to fight Triple H because they had tag teamed together before that for a little while. How on Earth is he going to be able to fight Matt? Unless he just pretends that they are wrestling on the backyard trampoline again, lol.

I got the Matt and Jeff Hardy DVD, it has a lot of good matches. Anyway my favorite wrestliers are Jeff Hardy, CM Punk, and Kofi Kingston! Man Kofi can fly!!! Ray is also up there, so is John Cena. When he's a face, Jericho is a fave of mine but I hate him when he's a heel, I hate Edge too. Randy is dum and has a giant ego but he has a nack for having catchy theme music. You might not know it VividLagacy but Edge and Randy were once a tag team called Rated RKO, now you can imagine how big their combined ego was! Me and my nephew called them Rated RKEgo!

Lol, yeah, actually I did know that, lol, but I've never actually seen them in action together. That's a good nickname, haha. Jeff Hardy is by far my favourite wrestler, followed (all pretty much evenly) by Triple H, Matt Hardy (the non-heel version) and Rey Mysterio. Oh, and John Morrison. I used to hate him as Johnny Nitro, but he's awesomely funny. Why he's wasting his time on ECW with The Miz is unknown to me.

Triple H is pretty high on my list too, along with Shawn Micheals. I just seem to like the high flyers more than the big guys, the fast dudes can hit from anywhere, you don't see them coming, take Kofi's Trouble in Paradice finishing move, hard to see coming, that's for sure.

Yeah, I prefer fast guys and high flyers, which is why I like Rey Mysterio and one of the reasons I like Jeff Hardy. I just have the utmost respect for Triple H and even if he isn't my "super favourite" I believe that he and the Undertaker are two (possibly the) best wrestlers in the business today.



On the subject of finishing moves, I'm not really sure I have a favourite. I love the 619, but it kind of annoys me how people only ever lean up against the ropes like that when they're in a match with Rey. Jeff Hardy's Swanton Bomb and Whisper in the Wind give me chills (but what can I say, I'm biased ) The Pedigree is an awesome finisher, and I'm also a fan of the Edge-Style Spear. The RKO is lethal but it's not very showy. I like showy.

One thing that I'm getting very annoyed about though is how WWE shows complete disregard for all the other belts except the World Titles. It's like they just put a midcard Title on some random guy, and that belt won't even be defended for a LONG time period. Look at when Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly had a so-called "run" with the World Tag Titles? They held those belts for what seemed to be a decade and I can only recall them successfully defending their straps only once or twice![/quote]

Well, I like it when the titles are put up at every pay-per-view and unless there's some big promo I like to keep it that way. But lately the Tag Team Titles are so under-rated. It's like, everyone thinks that if they're in a Tag Team that people will think that they can't make it on their own. Newbies should start out in Tag Team, look how many great superstars have evolved from that, The Hardy's, Edge & Christian and many more, just before my knowledge of WWE/F.

I mean, the only half-decent Tag Teams at the moment are Miz & Morrison, Carlito & Primo and to a lesser extent, Cryme Tyme! They're like... the only Tag Teams!

Also, on an unrelated note, I hope the annual draft (coming up real soon!) brings some decent divas to SmackDown!. The only Diva I even like on the SD! roster is Maria, and while she's awesome I can't say she has the best fighting skills. Compare to RAW and you've heaps of talented Diva's not getting their "fair shot", ie; Mickie James, Candice Michelle. Whatever happens, I'm praying that most of my favourite remain or some to SD!. Why? Because it's the only one I can watch... lol.
