Lashley is reminding me of Brock Lesnar...although Lashley doesnt strike me as the type of guy to hook up with an over aged diva, have a terrible match with Goldberg, Quit the WWE, and go to court with WWE over stupid shit. I never expected him to get anywhere when I frst saw him....Im like wow...he made Simon Dean eat a bunch of cheeseburgers...he wont ever be huge!

What I meant by another Brock Lesnar is pushing him to the top in like...4 months. They're actually giving Lashley more character and making dean eat the burgers was funny. When I first saw Lashley, I was pretty much holy shit...But I wouldn't mind seeing him with some kind of title on him.

Now the MITB ladder match will be even more interesting.

I'm looking forward to which 3 Smackdown! superstars will

be in the match. Guess I'll have to actually watch it on

Fri--err, Saturday.

Yeah, I can't wait to see who the 3 Smackdown Superstars are. It's gonna be interesting.

Lets make some Guesses!!!

Matt Hardy, Tatanka, and hell..why not...Paul Burchill

Tatanka, LOL.

Matt Hardy definatly, ...id go with Lashley just because WWE is pleased with how well the crowd perceives him ...and id like to see Paul Burchill (c4 off the ladder like wut) but I dont think WWE will do it. Im guessing they are going to focus more on his pirate deal...instead of his natural ability. Im going to say Finley since everyone else thats actually on Smackdown! either has a match or is part of a tag team.

I don't know why but It wouldn't make sense to have Finlay and Lashley end their dispute all of a sudden. If anything, if Lashley and Finlay wer put into seperate matches, Finlay would screw Lashley and Lashley would retaliate.

How & when did he die?

Its actually one of the saddest stories since he was one of my favorites to watch.

Toxicology tests released in February 2004 showed that he had overdosed on painkillers and alcohol. Lockwood was 32 years old. He was reportedly extremely depressed during the week leading up to his death; according to some reports, his estranged wife had just served him with divorce papers.

Say, whatever happened to Chyna?

Heres the list of "potential" smackdown stars to have qualifiying matches for the MITB match:

Joey Mercury
Johnny Nitro
Booker T
Finlay
Bobby Lashley
The Boogeyman
Gregory Helms
Super Crazy
Matt Hardy
Road Warrior Animal
Tatanka
William Regal
Paul Birchill
Psicosis
Paul London
Brian Kendrick
Funaki
Kid Kash
Nunzio
Scotty 2 Hotty
Orlando Jordan
Simon Dean
Jamie Noble
Sylvan

Theres only a few people on there that are wrestlemania worthy...unless you count the cruiserweights who in my opinion would make the match better...but you know they would stand no chance in winning it or the world heavyweight championship.

I am going to take a wild shot here.

I am looking for:

Booker T
Bobby Lashley

And....

A returning Y2J!

I dont see Y2J returning to wrestling anytime soon.

Well looks like we will have to wait for the Smackdown! ones cuz...

Spoiler:

there was only one match at the tapings this week...Lashley and Finley...which ended in a no contest , unless they count the Birchell and Regal match which Birchell won...but there was no mention of it being a qualifying match.

Chyna... I have no idea. Anyone know what happened to the rest of DX? I mean Gunn, Road Dogg, X-Pac.

I know Dogg got fired cuz of drug use, and X-Pac and Chyna made a porno together, but was that the cause or an after-effect or...

Road Dawg (Left WWE/F in 2001)-- Moved to TNA after being fired and forced to break up with K-Kwik (The Truth) and named BG James (Brian Gerald James) and now in TNA's Tag Team Divison

Billy Gunn (Left WWE/F in 2004/5)-- Jumped ship to TNA first named The Outlaw, then changed his name to Kip James after fueding with the 3LK where Conann Jumped to the Latin American Exchange (LAX)

X-Pac (Left WWE/F in 2002)-- Went to TNA under his real name and WCW Name, Syxx Pac - Sean Waltman and was Ravens mystery opponent where Zabysko wanted Raven Fired.

((Real Reason for Ravens "Firing" because hes having Thyroid problems from his previous drug abuse))

And Joanie Laurer is going to be appearing in some kind of movie coming up. Like..Illegal Aliens or something.

And HHH is hogging screen time to show off his unusually large nose.

So did Randy Orton get new theme music? I havent watched smackdown! in a while but just happened to catch his new entrence video on WWE.com. If so, anyone know what the songs called?

It might be another mercury drive song, 30 seconds is a bit hard to tell but I think they should have made Burchills song darker.

Yeah he got a new theme song. Apparantly the band Mercy Drive that did his last song wanted to put that song on their new album and WWE didn't allow them as long as Randy Orton had it as his theme. So they just pulled the song off all together.

The new song is by Killswitch Engage but I dont know what its called. I liked his last song much better.

I think his last song was more attuned to him being "face" though. I prefer Randy as a heel, even when he does the controversial stuff like using "Eddie" against Rey. Not sure if I like this one yet though...but if I do that will mean hes probably the only WWE wrestler whos changed his theme 3 times in under 4 years...AND i actually liked all the themes.

Thanks for the info, I really do appreciate it.

When can I catch TNA on TV? I'm usually a WWE-only watcher, but with this new info, conversion seems quite imminent..
