or something.

Last week was awesome. Hope they can follow up with great entertainment this week, too. :)

Well...they have a HOT crowd. They even popped for the women's match. But HHH is out to kill them now.

I guess he needed to get his heat back or something. I don't see a problem with HHH getting some wins going into the rematch. But did it have to come in a 2 on 1 situation? Well, it isn't like they were going to do anything with Hurrijobber anyway.

But they better make Batista look strong on tonight's show or next week.

Hassan really needs to start wearing a pair of these

First tragedy, then farce.
I thought it would be the rockers too. :(

But I would take Hogan over Slaughter (who jobs on Raw twice a year as it is) or Duggan (who is only good for hitting people with a 2x4).

I mean, Hogan was never that great, and at this point is only good for nostalgia purposes as far as ring work goes.. and he cant even do the legdrop any more. I think WM was a good swan song for him... but no doubt the buyrate just went through the roof.

the most retarded shit ever...

who else was hoping for janetty, slaughter, duggan, or even bret?

I was actually hoping it was Austin until Michaels went on about the war and stuff, right then and there it was obvious it would be Hogan.

no, I expect Austin to be at the next SD PPV doing something with Carlito.

I thought Jannetty too, but when he started talking about America, I figured he was talking about Angle, and I was ready to mark the fuck out if it was.

But it's Hogan, so whatever.

Davari should've used his patented flying carpet move.


I was gonna ask if he did it. They prolly wont let him do it cuz it'd start getting a good pop. Then he'd keep doing it and they'd have to have Bob Holly beat him up.

I hope they actually use Hassan/Davari in the tag team division. Davari was actually pretty good. I mean, HBK can carry a guy to a good match, but he wasnt too bad either.
 
Davari is a better worker than Hussan/Mark Magnus, whatever anyway... they would work pretty well in the tag division.

They would make a really good, rounded team.. a high flyer and a grounded, powerful wrestler. Give them the tag titles now and watch them run with it

nah, the problem is hulk can't even do hulk's own finisher anymore... how fuckin hard is it to do a legdrop?

Of course he was pretty good. He was just starting to get used by ROH when the WWE snatched him up. That means he can easily out work 75% of the WWE :D Its his charisma during promos that has suprised me a little.

Mahamad Hassan is great. Aside from HHH he just may be the most over heel on the raw roster, he has good mic skills, and the "look" of a major wwe superstar. If He can have good matches on a consistant basis and prove hes a strong worker I no doubt see him as a main-eventer on the Raw roster somewhere down the line. The WWE obviously believes this as well, putting him in a lenghty program with HBK and Hulk Hogan.

Its inevitable that he and Davari will be Tag-Champs very soon. I then see a lenghty IC title reign taking place by Summerslam. I say the WWE should bring in The Iron Sheik(and General Adnan!!), possibly another up and coming arabic wrestler.. and form a stable with them...With Evolution no more they could draw major heat as the top stable on the the roster.

No he doesn't. He uses the exact same tone, inflection and cadence in every single promo he does. It's not like Jericho where it's endearing, it's more like HHH where it's just a monotone drone that you're sick of hearing. It didn't matter the first few times, but now hearing him talk bugs the shit out of me more than anyone else's promos. He needs to learn range.

The hell?! Hassan's promos now are infinitely more entertaining then HHH has been since 2001. If you're going to argue about his in-ring mic work sticking to the same cadence, I'd argue that the nature of promos inside the ring and with a live crowd are fundamentally different to mic work during backstage vignettes, and that's been reflected in his work so far. He's not perfect, no...but he's already better than many of the veteran wrestlers in the company. And I'd much rather listen to him on the mic than subject myself to further indignities from Chris Benoit, for example.
 
Kurt needs to take offense at Shawn Michaels implying that Hulk Hogan loves America more than he (Angle) does and do a run-in. "Well, guess what, Shawn. Nobody loves America OR breaking ankles as much as me, woooo!" *snap*
