[Mr. Dashbee]

Finally...the 12-Pack...has come BACK...to the internet!

Week 0 kicks off tonight. The rules are simple. You rank your top 6 performers of the week. The eligibility week runs Monday 3/24 - Sunday 3/30.

Voting closes at Midnight Wednesday night, Eastern time (9 PM, Arizona time for me). The results will be posted before you wake up Thursday (East Coast, at least).

Eligible shows from the "Big 3" ("Big 2.5"?)
WWE RAW
ECW
TNA Impact
WWE Smackdown
ROH's 2 Orlando shows, plus the Video Wire released this week
WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony
WWE WrestleMania

Also, any indy shows that took place during the eligibility period are fair game.

Please post your Top 6 wrestlers. Inverted points are awarded for 1-6 (6 points for your #1, 5 points for your #2, etc.). The top 12 point getters will comprise the Pun's House 12-Pack!

Posting is preferred (with some comments if you can), but you can also PM me your votes.

A few ground rules:
- Try not to trash others' opnions, this whole thing is subjective. Feel free to ask questions if you're considering ranking someone and want more info.
- Ties are okay. But you must skip the next spot if there is a tie. For example: if you have two guys tied for 2nd place, then you must skip third place. You can't have more than 2 per ranking (no 6-way ties for first place), either. And know that your points will be divided up amongst those who are tied. For example: if you have two tied for 2nd place, they share the 2nd & 3rd points (5 pts + 4 pts = 9 pts, or 4.5 per ranked competitor in that tie). The most you can rank is 7, if you have a tie for 6th place. If you need more detail, click here.
- Some people are great at posting videos on the board. Feel free to link to or post video evidence or campaign for someone if you feel moved to do so.

And lastly (this problem happened at OO)...
- If you feel the need to change your rankings, that is okay. But please PM me to let me know. I plan to tabulate the points as we go along, so I might not realize you changed something if you don't let me know.

Have fun, and vote away! And if you vote, please pimp the shit out of this throughout the board.

[Mr. Dashbee]

My top 6:

1. Ric Flair - I don't care that he lost, he had a helluva week, and deserves to go out on top...of the 12-Pack!
2. Shawn Michaels - His emotion really helped build the Flair-Michaels match. And he will forever be the man who retired The Man. His quote before the final SCM was perfect.
3. Randy Orton - He left WM as WWE champion as a heel. He joins an awfully short list with that feat. I thought he performed well, too (even if Trips carried the match).
4. The Undertaker - won the World Championship, kept the streak alive. That's always enough to be in my Top 6.
5. Ms. Peyton Banks - Watch her closely on Impact, and notice how she does all the little things so well. In the spirit of WM24, I'll go ahead and predict that she'll defend the WWE Women's Title at WM someday.
6 (tie) - CM Punk - Money in the Bank is usually the start of bigger things for the winner. And I don't think Punk's push will be cut short thanks to the Wellness Policy.
6 (tie) - The Rock - Really, he could have been #1 (well, #2). He showed at the HOF Ceremony that he'd still be he top performer in wrestling if he were still a wrestler.

Tons of honorable mentions, too many to, you know, actually mention. AJ Styles, Sting, Triple H, Edge, Nigel McGuinness, Austin Aries, Kane, Big Show, James Storm and plenty of others. I'm glad we used WM week to kick this off.

A few notes: one rule we had at OO was NOT to trash others' picks. It's subjective. If you want to know more b/c you're considering ranking someone and you're not sure, then feel free to ask. But let's try to be nice to each other.

Also, one fun part of this is to see how everyone views wrestling. I base things on impact (not necessarily TNA Impact...). How made the biggest impact on me this week. I've ranked unknown indy wrestlers, managers, GM/commissioners, announcers, etc. before. Any performer is eligible in my book. Feel free to post your own philosophy of voting with your votes, too!

[Lucky]

I will add my ballot when I'm... well... sober. But until then I thought I'd add a video that has me moving LAX and Samoa Joe up my ranks. From JAPW. Would you like to see Joe and LAX leave Teddy Hart for dead? If so, 4:20 or so on the video might interest you.

[Lucky]

Ok, I'm not yet sober but I feel fairly comfortable with this ballot. All thing considered, WM was disappointing for me in that all it did was backup the 2 guys whose regular WWE match I enjoyed most this week and the two guys I expected to mark for. Which makes a ballot I expected to be filled with WWE stars much more balanced after a WM I was disappointed with.

6) The Rock - I am a self admitted Rock hater but damned if I didn't crack smiles and laugh at his jokes at the HoF. And whether it was WWE editing or his own good judgment he knew where to draw the line between giving the fans what they wanted and doing what was right. Your dad and grand-dad deserve part of this because despite the fact that I have no true concept of them I buy into one being a forefather of African-American wrestlers and one getting the nod of respect from Afa who I deem as the father of all Samoan wrestling who puts you first.

5) Shawn Michaels - I may not remember what you did on RAW and I may think you WM match was 2/3 shit but I don't think that was your fault. And I can't shake that you delivered a line that had at least 3 casual/non wrestling fans heart broken over the fact that you were about to win. They weren't Flair fans like me and 2 of them had spent the last 10-20 minutes saying Flair should retire. And you said that line and their hearts broke.

4) LAX (Homicide, Hernandez, & Salinas) - Don West: "They have that old LAX feel." They are looking ruthless and wild like they haven't in awhile. New theme music is a good sign. They looked awesome in an Impact win against Big Poppa Pump and Lil' Biddi Pump and they left Teddy Hart for dead in a JAPW cage of some sort. I dunno. LAX. BLAT! BLAT!

3) Shelton Benjamin - The ECW match vs Carlito was odd but enjoyable. He had the couple of show stealing spots at MitB. Is being pegged to be the sacrificial lamb in the match really great? No. But I'll honor you.

2) James Storm - SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK, STING!

1) Ric Flair - In a week when noone else stands out as a #1, absolutely. You know why. Sure, I think he was blown up and possibly drunk during WM. But the last 5 minutes were history and I honest to God choked up during his speech (or at least as close as I get for sports). And eventually I hope I find a non WWE edited one that includes ARN FUCKING ANDERSON! Whatever. In Week 0 there is no more deserving #1 than the best of all time.

Honorable Mentions: Carlito (Enjoyable match on ECW and some enjoyable play in MitB). Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe (For continuing to build the match perfectly). AJ Styles (for general awesomeness). Lacey (For being a fucking goddess and DDTing another goddess in Sunny).

[Pun]

Is it just me, or is Hernandez looking more and more like Albert every week?

[bdbdbd]

I'm not 100% sure how this works, but I'll try to figure this out as I go along. And I have little access to ROH, so I'll be big two biased.

1 Ric Flair - between his finale, his hall of fame speech, and his promo on Monday, he's gone out of his way to show the kids who had any question why such a big deal has been being made out of his end game.

2 A J Styles - Consistently the most entertaining person on the 7 (free) hours of professional wrestling aired in a week, in and out of the ring.

2 CM Punk - decent, not great, free TV tag match on Raw, better one on SmackDown, part of a good MitB match and is now more important than he has ever been in the company. Certainly poised for a run on top, assuming he can make the powers that be (he works for TNA now) those in charge believe.

4 Booker T - Still making Robert Roode a) interesting b) look good. Started off the first ever live iMPACT! with a cold open brawl, cut a decent promo in the show to sway the vote, then had a decent free TV first blood match.

5 Undertaker - Finally getting to start that nice long title run before he heads off into the sunset

6 Shawn Michaels - gave Ric Flair a hell of a finale and also had a good showing on Monday

Honorable mentions: Sting (Returns right back into the thick of things) HHH, Orton, and Cena (they've been joined at the hips and have done well together) Robbie McAllister (this is the most anyone has cared about him in his entire career!) Awesome Kong (f'n monster)

edit, only had 5, didn't have UT

[Fire-Babe]

Okay, hopefully I'm doing this right.

1. Shawn Michaels.
2. Ric Flair

I thought about putting them in a tie, but between the raw announce table not cooperating and Flair missing another high fly spot, I thought Michaels deserved the edge, but ONLY by a little bit.

3. John Morrison -- He took some bumps in that ladder match.
4. CM Punk
5. Fit Finley -- That dive out of the ring was, I swear, in slow motion.
6. Jericho -- He tried his best to make Friday's match with MVP into something, but alas, you can only work with what you have.

Sadly, I deleted TNA to have room for WM24, so I didn't get a chance to review it. If I was going to be able to rewatch WM24 before the deadline, 3-5 might change, but I don't think I'll be able to.

Enough caveats... I need a smoke.

[Deadly]

Ok, didn't watch WM, but have read some recaps and your guys' thoughts, so I'm throwing my picks out there. Keep in mind that I've watched far more TNA lately than WWE.

1. Flair - Didn't see the match and I'm not a big Flair fan, but it's hard to argue that he wasn't the most deserving wrestler this week.

2. Sting - No love for Sting so far? He's back, baby! (I've always been a sucker for Sting.)

3. A.J. Styles - I agree with bd, this guy has a good chance of being on my list every week.

4. CM Punk - I actually thought he'd be the one winning the MitB. Hopefully this propels him to another level permanently.

5. Shawn Michaels - Without even seeing it, the descriptions of how that match ended earns Michaels a spot.

6. Booker T - Damn good showing on Thursday, plus he makes Roode semi-watchable.

Yeah, so again I haven't watched a lot of WWE lately, and that's probably not going to change much in the foreseeable future. Does that make me a TNA wanker?

[snelson66]

My votes:

1. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair: thanks, Naitch. Been a hell of a ride.

2. "HBK" Shawn Michaels: well done taking The Man out in style.

3. Sting: welcome back to the most naive wrestler on the planet

4. Christian Cage: Love the intensity and the man can wrestle

5. (tie) AJ Styles and Tomko: the best current tag team champions

[National Champion Chris Cole]

First off I want to apoligize for not giving wrestling my full (or really any) attention this week. This weekend was our baby shower and then we also started to set up the nursery. I watched NONE of the shows. I was even offered a free ticket to go to Wrestlemania live and turned it down. I did however talk to my Brother-in-law who watched it on PPV and read a brief review of the show.

1. Ric Flair - Inducted into the Hall of Fame and retired in a match that made the front page of the Orlando Sentinel.

2. Shawn Michaels - That match is the reason I'm going to rent the show when the DVD comes out.

3. Undertaker - I'm glad they gave the Smackdown Title the Main event lot for once. This is the only day of the year I'd root for Taker over Edge. I'm hoping Edgeward gets the belt back at Backlash.

4. CM Punk - Won MitB. Which title will he go after? Perhaps the reason Orton retained was to feud with Punk? Personally I'd have Edge win the World Title back at Backlash and start the story for Edge vs. Punk at Summerslam.

5. Randy Orton - Huh? Orton is still the Champ. While I'm happy ena didn't win I'm a little shocked that Orton retains.

6. Edge - Edge was in his first true Main Event of Mania. Hopefully he'll be in more to come.

[Ultimatejobber]

1. Ric Flair: No matter what happened in the other matches at Mania, Last night was Flair's night period. The amount of emotion he showed was enough, and the match was well done. Not the best match ever, but I honestly can't think of any other way to book it.

2. Shawn Michaels: As with Flair, Shawn did all he could to make Flair's send off amazing.

3. The Undertaker: 16-0 + Winning the World Heavyweight title equals #3 on my list this week.

4. CM Punk: I was soooo happy to see him win Mitb, because I really wanted him to put him on the list.

5. James Storm: Anyone who says they knew he would get the best of Sting on Thursday is a liar. I hope TBA handles his push well.

6. Mae Young: I don't care if she is 900 years old she was my second favorite part of the HoF ceremony. (Yes even more than the Rock) She is another person like Flair that I can point to as someone just loves being a part of pro wrestling and will do anything to be a part of making the business fun. I kinda hope she lives to be 100 and is healthy enough to have that match she wants.

Since they're a team, I'm going to consider them one voted upon entity. Feel free to submit a 6th place vote (either edit your post - I'll look for it - or PM me).

I'll try to not provide ongoing updates as to the rankings, but #1 & #2 should be fairly obvious right now...

[Attitude Adjuster]

1. Ric Flair. He deserves to go out on top. Even if his matches aren't what they used to be in the 80s, they are still better than 80 percent of today's wrestlers. And he's still golden on the mic. Plus that tribute was damn nice with all the NWA stuff. Gotta call WWE classy on that one.

2. James Storm. Only one question: When was he ever Sting's tag team partner? What? You mean Sting got attacked by someone who WASN'T his tag team partner?

3. Shawn Michaels. The perfect man for Flair's retirement match, as he can perform physically and mentally with the best of them.

4. CM Punk. The MiTB shot? Really? Doesn't the WWE realize they're giving a huge push to someone they didn't create?

5. LAX. Because they are getting the edge back.

6. Lacey. I will do this every week that Lacey breathes. Damn, she's cute.

[Tommy]

(1 - tie) Naitch and HBK. Flair could have had this spot alone if it wasn't for "I'm Sorry, I Love You". That was amazing stuff, and whether that was legit or it was a work, it was still a tear-jerking moment.

(3) LAX - BLAT BLAT!

(4) Mark Henry - Somebody gon' get their ass kicked. And he did. Kick some ass.

(5) Kane - NEW RECORD~!

(6) AJ - Might be the best thing going today.

[Lucky]

You're ok to do a tie in 1st, Tommy, but if so you don't have a 2nd. The only way you can have 7 "talents" on your ballot is a 6th place tie splitting half a pt between them. So as it stands now your ballot is actually 1T) Flair & HBK, 3) LAX, 4) Henry, 5) Kane, 6) AJ, and Jericho misses the cut. You can feel free to adjust that if you like. Again, if you want to keep Jericho on you can tie him with AJ but you'd be cutting AJ's point total in half.

And yeah, snelson. AJ & Tomko are a team that teamed together in two matches and had all their segments together. So you can easily group them as one ranking and get someone else on. On the other hand if you want to do it the way you have, so be it. The difference between the two is with a 5th place tie they split the 3 pts between 5th and 6th and get 1.5 each, while having them both as 5th would reward them 2 pts and free up a pt for someone else.

[Jobber Blitz]

1. Ric Flair - Although I was slightly dissapointed by his match, the ending puts him first. He is Naitch!

2. Shawn Michaels - He was the right choice to retire Flair. That was awesome.

3. Undertaker - He won the main-event, and Taker at Mania will probably always reach my top 6 just because of the streak.

4. CM Punk - Star of the future. Or future endeavoured. Wrestlemania made me think it´s the former.

5. Edge - His promo got me into a otherwise predictable match. Pure awesomeness.

6. Shelton Benjamin - He busts his ass year after year in the MiTB, although he really never has a chance of winning. This match is the only time of the year we get to see Shelton at his best again.

[jetskid48]

Other weeks I guess I'll go in reverse order, but because we all know how most are voting, I'll just throw it in there in order:

1. Ric Flair - This is for many reasons. Yes, he had his last match, yes he was inducted into the HoF, and yes, he had a great promo on Raw earlier this week. But I'm sticking it to him because from the second I heard that it was going to be HBK against him, a match I thought didn't make much sense and was a waste of HBK because Flair wouldn't be able to deliver a classic anymore, I thought this wasn't going to be good. Instead, I got a match that I will always be able to rewatch because there was enough good match all around, because of the ring psychology, the ode to yesteryear, the emotion, and the perfect ending. It was more than I ever thought they would give, and it was the proper ending to a great career.

2. Shawn Michaels - Because Ric Flair didn't do it alone. I had no intention of putting HBK this high before Wrestlemania, even if I figured he would put on a good show as always. Every action, every typical HBK thing you know he's going to give, was there. Not only did he have to work his end of the match, but he was there to cover for whatever Flair could no longer do, and he was the one that added even more to the emotion in the match that would have been there anyway. While this was a weekend to appreciate and celebrate Ric Flair's career, this should also be a weekend that we remember how lucky we are to have Shawn Michaels back and wrestling so many years after we thought it was over for him 10 Wrestlemanias ago.

__________________________________________

3. Edge - While no where near the other two, everything Edge did this week was great. While the angle and storyline may not have been perfect, none of it was of his doing. Stepped up big in his first Wrestlemania main event (and there should be many more), and probably had one of my favorite Wrestlemania promos of all time - "The broken innocence promo". Some of this is also a vote for WWE for having the proper faith in the REAL main event of Wrestlemania.

4. Randy Orton - For the first time ever watching him, I'm sort of...I don't want to say respecting him, I don't want to say appreciate him...but I guess I'm starting to "get" him. No one plays the slimey heel that no one can possibly like (unlike Edge who's the cool heel everyone does like) better than him. While he may not do many things well, the few things he does have capacity to do, he does very well. I'm not saying he's the future of wrestling or that the WWE is in good shape with him forever, but for this point of the WWE, and this time in the world, I think he works as the Raw #1 and champion.

5. James Storm - Because he was the only part of TNA I enjoyed this week. Because I'm going to try to at least give one slot per week to TNA. Because this guy has a perfect gimmick for him and has me actually looking forward to a match on impact this week.

6. Big Show - You stepped up for the pop part of this years event. Yes, he lost, but he did it well enough for us all to know he's a monster. Along the way, we realized just how much we missed Big Show - The Professional. And ultimately, because of the way he did it, we as wrestling fans will probably have more respect for him for the way he represented Pro Wrestling as a psuedo-sport and the way he did his best with an unwinnable task.

Honerable Mention - The 7 MitB participants and Vince McMahon. - I was actually going to split this for 6th (with 1/8 points each) but decided that would make someone here murder me, and the 12-pack doesn't need blood on its hands.

Why them? Because anyone who ever has to be in the MitB match deserves points for putting their bodies up for something like this, because everyone tries to live up to prior matches and give it there all, and finally, most of them are people we want to get pushes, so lets give them a shoutout at least.

And McMahon, no, not because Dev thinks I'm his bastard child, but because we got an entire weekend that he kept himself and his family out of it completely, allowing the actual wrestlers (and asshole boxer) put on the show. He always works best when he's used at the right times, and yesterday was not meant for him, and he stayed away. So good.

Good points about McMqhon jetskid, really good. And I'm glad you didn't do a 7-way tie. I wouldn't have done the math, just would have ranked them as "MITB Participants." At OO, we ended up usually only letting 2 people be tied for a specific ranking. Halfs are easy, other fractions can get screwy. Let's just stick with 2 per tie if possible.

Unless someone can present me with a great argument for a 7-way tie for first. That'd be 3 points each and I can live with that.

[paddler]

1) Nature Boy - for reasons obvious to all.
2) HBK - for the second time as a professional, he ended someone's WWE career this week, but this time he actually did it with some class and honour, as opposed to the way he did it 11 years ago.
3) Taker - even though he'll probably get injured again in about two weeks and Edge gets the belt back by the end of the month
4) CM Punk - tonight's loss to Y2J doesn't wipe out the prestige of being Mr. MITB; I assume now that his transfer to RAW is permanent as they aren't going to waste a MITB winner on ECW
5) Big Show - I think he was wasted with the Mayweather nonsense, but he appears to be ready to go on a roll, even if he next has to go through the motions with Khali first.
6) Randy Orton - hate to say it but retaining the belt at Mania has to be seen as WWE having a huge amount of confidence in him; he hasn't busted up a hotel room or shit in someone's luggage for over a year now, and his in-ring work and promos really haven't been all that bad lately - I'd say they're going to keep the belt on him until the next major PPV , and possibly even until SummerSlam.

[Batman]

"Victory in defeat, there is none higher."

1) Ric Flair
2) Shawn Michaels
I have nothing to say that hasn't already been said. I just want to throw in with the side that loved the match from beginning to end. That is passion. Not to mention the promo on Raw, and Flair making the WWE champ tap out in the Raw main event.

3) Edge
He was in a match that almost nobody thought should have been put on last, when practically every single heel had already won their match, and he was up against the streak. Despite all of this, his amazing promo--as well as the match itself--managed to let me suspend disbelief. Despite the fact that the rational part of me knew that there was no way he could win, I was on the edge of my seat for every two count. And when 'Taker finally got the better of him, he managed not to come out of a foregone conclusion of a defeat looking like a punk. Amazing.

4) Big Show
He made a match that could have been a laughable monstrosity entertaining and watchable. And he came off of a defeat at the hands of a man one-quarter his size still looking like a nigh-unstoppable monster. Impressive.

5) Angle
Everything he does and everything he says helps build up his upcoming match with Samoa Joe to be something very different from the screwy affairs his other major defenses have been, something that will get Joe's first World Championship reign off to the right start. He may not have won the title the right way, but he is damn well intent on losing it the right way. Joe is going to kill him. And that's the way it should be. (Also, the sparring session with Tomko and A. J. was just fun.)

6) Sting
He returned to TNA after months and he returned to live free television after years. I am correct in saying that last week's Impact was the first time he had been live on free TV since the last Nitro, yes? I loved the sense of history he imparted by making reference to that: "It's great to be LIVE!" It was an impactful and entertaining return, but also an impressively generous one. He blended into the background as just one of the guys on the team and let Cage take the lead in speaking for them. And he gave James Storm a much-needed rub in getting the better of him to close out the show. Good on you, Stinger.

HM) Shelton Benjamin - He died for my amusement. I have to give props for that.
Christian Cage - A fun promo, and a big part of a fun Impact main event.
Samoa Joe - Angle did more to build their feud this week, but . . . Joe's gonna kill him.
John Morrison - In my eyes, the MVP of the MitB. Also pulled off some sweet moves in his SD! match with Punk.
Matt Hardy - Got a huge pop for coming out and getting his revenge on MVP. Good stuff.
Undertaker - Put on a hell of a match, and did everything short of losing to make Edge look great. Might have ranked, but . . . fuck that "streak" bullshit, Edge should have won.

DHM) Jeff Hardy - Dude, just . . . fuck you, man. Fuck you.



Non-ballot related stuff: Why in the hell are Flair and Big Show listed as SD! talents on the WWE website? If I'm mistaken, please let me know, but I'm going to assume that there is some error there. For brand rankings, I am going to assume that Flair should be listed as Raw, and Show as WWE-non-aligned. Or did Show officially join one of the rosters and I just missed it?

[Lucky]

Flair has been a SD roster member since the draft. He's leaped around the past 4 months or so for this retirement angle but he's basically been on SD as much as RAW. He feuded with MVP for a month or so before Kennedy and he had a 2 or 3 week program with Edge during this WM build. I absolutely will be including him as a SD guy for my rankings.

Show's more of a "What WWE says" sort of thing. I believe he's been on both shows every week since the Rumble. He was an ECW guy when he left but clearly is not anymore. The Mayweather stuff has happened on RAW for obvious reasons but he's been in the ring on SD every week. Add in that Rey is a SD guy and that was seemingly the initial program for him and that he's now apparently gonna feud with another SD guy in Khali (even if it was set up on RAW)? I agree that he basically has seemed unaligned since his return but if WWE says he's a SD guy I can certainly see that. I think WWE's approach has basically been to have him in action and hyped on SD because he's a SD guy but to do the Mayweather stuff on RAW because it would be stupid not to.

Its just been a laxed brand split for awhile and the huge nature of Show and Flair's matches (along with Flair's opponent being a RAW superstar) predicated them being on RAW for maximum exposure.

[Batman]

OK, that's why I threw it out there, I figured I might be wrong. Thanks, Lucky.

[wld]

1.)Ric Flair – It’s already been said.

2.)Shawn Micheals – Flair picked him for his last match for a reason – and it was the perfect choice.

3.)Edge – You knew he wasn’t going to break the streak, but he still made you believe it was possible.

4.)AJ Styles – Plays his character amazingly well. His line about Brother Ray. stealing his food like a grade school bully was great.

5.)James Storm – A great way to move up the card.

6.)Shelton Benjamin – Deserves something for near-suicide in the MITB.

[psmitty]

Okay here goes: (warning I don't watch TNA so this is going to be WWE heavy - my appologies)

1. Vince Macmahon
Stay with me here for a second. The man had the guts to let the heels have strong showing at Mania (something that I generally find lacking) and the courage to stay with Orton as champ when everyone else (myslef included) saw Cena or HHH as a foregone conclusion.I thought Mania was a great show and the Last raw build-up want bad either.

2.Ric Flair:
Never been a huge Flair fan - I personally think his schtick was tired and that he should have hung up the boots a long time ago, but there is no denying that this was his wrestlemania.

3.Edge
I know that the Undertaker won the title and kept the streak alive - but since Taker went 10 and 0 this is the first time I ever really thought the streak was in jeopardy - Edge made me believe he could do it and he earned this spot on my list.

4.Big Show - this man is absolutely gold. He not only can work the stick, but he tells stories with his matches and his facial expressions like very few others. I thought that his match with Mayweather was way better than it had any business being. Sure he got beat but he looked like a monster in the process with mayweather needing a whole freaking army and foreign objects to take him down.

5. Shelton Benjamin - all I can say is ouch - this man bumps for my enjoyment.

6. The band that played Cena's introduction:
Thank you wwe for my yearly dose of mania wrestlecrap - almost as gay as Conan HHH

[Byrntrigan]

1. Flair: He is the MAN! Good match that I cared about what was happening, more then just watching it.

2. Shawn Micheals: The other reason, if not the main reason the Flair match was so good.

3. CM Punk: I was happy to see him with MintheB. I hope he turns heel now.

4. LAX: One of the reasons I watch TNA. They appear to have the company behind them again, good I say.

5. James Storm: To steal from Lucky - SORRY 'BOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!

6. Shelton Benjamin: You apparently are the gold standard for killing youself. Congrats.
