ok kiddies, this time around i'm gonna give you all a two for one special and cover primetime's erupition plus my thoughts, so let's get started!
eruption:
1. psych ward match: shane thompson vs sean o'haire:
if you like a good horror flick, then watch this one cause you will see two nuts going at it to see who goes in the funny farm. while shane may not be crazy anymore, sean o'haire is simply sean o'haire and yet they are both in my opinion our centuries version of roddy piper cause there is a method to their madness i believe.
my pick: o'haire
2. steel cage match: bahamut vs the beast
now little may be known about this guy the beast but he has stood up to bahamut and gone toe to toe with him backing down not an inch. but fact is, bahamut is simply a mean and nasty person and he will show the rookie why they call him the big nasty bastard.
my pick: bahamut
3. lightheavyweight title match: carney defends against jamie noble:
this is gonna be a unique match pitting the new human highlight reel of the twf, carney, defending his title against the new mf'er in jamie "by god" noble and while i am a huge carney supporter, he will be out wrestled by noble and he will without a doubt be out cheated as well. but carney will do what he does and that is simply fly around the ring and get extreme with noble.
my pick: jamie noble (thanks to matt hardy)
4. crowbar on a pole: frankie kazarian vs jordan rockwell
this will be the end of this rivalry so expect for the you know what to hit the fan when the disrespectful member of the fbi faces the irate rockwell. one key will be the fact that kazarian's associates will be near and rockwell's tag team partner will not so look for this to as i said, get real serious. but rockwell will as always not allow any odds to deter him at any cost to himself.
my pick: rockwell
5. eruption/2 out of 3 falls: christopher daniels vs travis wakeman:
this match will be the show stealer when one of the most under rated wrestlers in the business faces the techincal magician. it will be a pleasure to see these two fight and also to see them wrestle and go hold for hold and go counter for counter.
my pick: either man it's too hard to pick in this match
6. triple threat/intercontinental title match: batista defends against dylan jansens and chris tirpak
the start to a bad evening for the two man power trip of brock lesnar and batista thanks to shane o'mac. batista will put his title up against two men that both want the title and to beat him for it. but will jansens and tirpak be able to do it is the real question.
my pick: either jansens or tirpak
7. tag team title match: brock lesnar and batista defend against the four elements
part two of the bad night for the champions when they have to defend their tag team titles against the team they beat chris benoit and dylan jansens and you know jansens and batista will look to hurt the other leading into this match in their singles match.
my pick: benoit and jansens
8. universal title match: brock lesnar defends against rhyno
the last part of the bad evening will be when brock has to leave the ring following the tag team title match and return to face a fresh rhyno and if we know shane mcmahon, he'll make sure at least two matches out of the three are close to each other on the card. but even a tired brock lesnar is tough to beat. rhyno will need to captalize on the remains of lesnar from the tag team title match.
my pick: rhyno
random topics:
1. stone cold and hbk as enforcers with stroke
i say good move by shane and stephanie mcmahon to both keep these two future hall of famers in the twf and to give them power. this will be a major plus however more for steve austin because his back and neck problems prevent him from ever wrestling again so he needs this to remain in the twf.
2. thompson beats rockwell
ok now a lot of people will call this an upset and you may rag on rockwell for losing, but bottomline is shane thompson was just part of a real rarity in wrestling. it's called the rub. which means a veteran gives an up and comer his day in the light and i don't care what anyone says that is exactly what happened here, so shane next time you see rockwell and the next time anyone does you oughta thank him for showing that much class to humilate himself in front of the world for thompson's career.
3. shane mcmahon vs the power trip
i think maybe brock and batista should just back off and not mess with shane mcmahon, fact is he controls primetime and thus their careers not vice versa. hell, they have to wrestle in total three times putting up all of their titles cause they crossed shane.
4. high octane:
i say finally it's time that damion steps up and shows everyone he is a player for one and that he's not just a typical lightheavyweight, he is a whole lot more then that. so i say fued with guys like triple h and the top guys that are bigger than you, but above all else get yourself inline and get a shot at the twf world title asap.
5 whats left for hogan
i am a huge hogan fan and have been a hulkamanic just like everyone else, but fact is, i want to know is there really anything for him here in the twf at all? lets face it, you have guys like a rockwell, high octane, john cena, carney etc... guys that are younger, faster, healthier and maybe better in certain area's then hogan is. so i want to know is it finally the time for hulk hogan to get on his motorcycle and ride off like john wayne? it maybe!
is it me?
1. is it me or did it seem that rey rey and carney being friends hindered their match even for a little while into it?
2. is it me or is john cena actually better then randy orton?
3.is it me or does bahamut seem more at home now that he's on primetime?
4. is it me or did batista and brock lesnar get what they deserved from shane mcmahon and also from chris tirpak and the four elements?
5. and finally, is it me or does everyone else still want to smack teddy long off his bald head?
in the end
in the end you all know me to be a bigger joker then jack nicholson wearing white paint and a purple suit, but i want to take this column and dedicate it to the families and survivors of 9/11.
well that's all folks, so i am as always ya boy jd and this has been another edition of my two cents. but hey, i ain't telling you anything that you don't all ready know
