3. Miz/Morrison - As much as I hate Miz, these guys are a good team. Morrison's abs help.

5. Matt Sydal -- a fantastic start in ECW. I weep to see how that'll get eroded.

Did you want to include a #4. Morrison & the Miz will get grouped together, so feel free to add someone. I'll look out for it before I post the overall.

[Fire-Babe]

yeah i fixed it. thanks, i forgot about that.

[Ultimatejobber]

6. Davari: I don't care about the accuracy of his gimmick. The foreign language with subtitles made me laugh real real hard. I look forward to seeing this play out a bit more.

5. Doi/Yoshino: Awesome debut and only like a tenth of what they can do in the ring. I want to see them in a ppv match.

4. Mick Foley: The best (and often only) reason to watch Smackdown. The man mixes his witty one-liners with some excellent color commentary.

3. Chris Jericho: Finally makes the heel turn and the way he camly destroyed HBK was excellent.

1T. Kaz and Samoa Joe: What a great opener to a strong edition to impact. I wish we had more matches like this with good, clean finishes.

Yes, but could that match make a wolverine purr? Was it so fine that it made Sinatra look like a hobo?

Ok, what movie is this from boys?

Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen.

Cannonball!

It's from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

[Byrntrigan]

Need to apparently watch that movie again...

[snelson66]

1.) [tie] Motor City Machineguns [Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley] / Naruko Doi & Masato Yoshino (TNA Impact!) - Now that is what a wrestling match is supposed to be... only longer.

3.) LAX [Hernandez y Homicide] (TNA Impact!) - Great tag match with Storm/Roode. Needed more Salinas though. But with her gone, it was easier to proceed with the whipping storyline.

4.) Kurt Angle (TNA Impact!) - Having a hit put out on his own wife... my hero.

5.) Chris Jericho (WWE RAW) - 'Bout freakin' time the heel turn came around. I like the Barber Shop call back using the prop Jeri-Tron (sounds like a reject from The Transformers), but if Marty Jannetty can bleed like a stuck pig for going through a "plate glass window," HBK should at least have a small scratch for going through a "plasma TV."

6.) James Storm and Robert Roode (TNA Impact!) - Though I still don't care much for Roode (in my mind, he ranks just above Kaz and I think Kaz sucks), I like the dynamic between these two knuckleheads.

HM: Samoa Joe (sorry you got stuck with Kaz this week, Joe)

DM: HHH & Jeff Hardy (these two should not be blowing spots), John Cena (I'm so sick of the superman gimmick), Vince McMahon (way to kill any momentum your show might be building by these boring phone call spots)

[Batman]

I hope there's another vote out there. Rick Astley's still holding on to the #12 spot with 5 points.

[Lucky]

Ugh. Can I move around my ballot to affect change? I'll go crunch the numbers.

4. Samoa Joe
5. Kaz
6. Kurt Angle

Didn't see any Raw this week, which is too bad, because I'm sure Jericho would have made the cut if I had.

4) Angle and Kong - A truly dangerous alliance. From the moment Angle said that he had taken a contract out on Karen I was chanting "please let it be Kong, please let it be Kong." I couldn't be happier with this turn of events. I want the mixed-tag match now.

I have to do this to you Serge, but I gotta split up Angle & Kong for the week. Angle put out a hit that Kong is trying to collect. Not quite a team or alliance, yet.

Soooooooooo, I'll consider them a tie and eliminate your #6 unless you indicate otherwise. Sorry Serge.

[Batman]

I disagree, if Angle's hit had been an open contract, he would have had a briefcase of money during his announcement, so that the women knew what they could get if they fulfilled it. I was under the impression that he had arranged a hit with a specific female wrestler, and just wasn't telling us who so that it would be a surprise.

But in any case, I was the only one who voted for them together, so I'm cool with splitting them. My 6th place vote was pretty marginal anyway. Kaz and Joe's match was fun, but it wasn't anything special.

[Lucky]

I actually think teaming them was a legitimate ranking but I'm the one who brought it up to GB because I had no idea how to keep the tables. People had separate votes for "Angle", "Kong", "Angle & Kong", and "Kong & Saeed." And at least one person had both "Angle" and "Kong" on the same ballot. So it seemed like either his 2 had to be collapsed into one ballot despite them not being an official team or stable or yours getting split despite them legitimately working together.

How the hell to tabulate it without doing either of those things, I have no idea.

[Batman]

Eh, it's doable.

But splitting them knocks Astley out of the top-12, and I'm all in favor of that....

[Byrntrigan]

But that was probabky the best thing the *E did this last week, yeah?

* past Jericho and his IKEA TV

My real motive, of course!

And I've been accused of being in the mafia enough to know that when you put out a hit on someone, it's open to whoever can take care of the target first. Kong, obviously the most qualified, did just that.

Now, if Kurt DID prearrange something with Kong, then he needs to watch more movies. He hired a contract killer, he didn't put out a hit.

[Lucky]

Well, he could have put out a hit, had Kong come to him to answer it, and then serve in a role to set her up for the hitman. Payment upon delivery.

[bdbdbd]

A contract killer is a hitman and a hit is the contract. They're synonyms. If I put a hit out on you, I don't post that I want you dead on Craig's list then pay the first person who does it, I just pay someone to do it. A bounty is when it's open for whomenver gets there first.

He made it very clear that he paid someone specific to take out Karen since he couldn't.

[Lucky]

Actually he kept it pretty vague and never hinted that he had someone already. He said that the whole locker room wanted a piece of her and that someone would get her sometime. He never implies he knows who or when it will be. Could have been an open bounty or a paid contract. And the Beautiful People played up the "bounty" idea of it when they threatened her.

[Mr. Dashbee]

bd - I wouldn't consider them synonyms, but I know plenty do.

Regardless, Angle & Kong remain separate. If there is something more concrete on the next Impact, then it may change.

With that...VOTING CLOSED!

MTA: FUCK!

[Batman]

So, Greg.... For week 12, will you be considering Jericho and Cade an alliance? Or is it too soon to say?

[Batman]

Hey! What's the call on this? Can Jericho and Cade be ranked together, or no?
