Does no one care?

Well, Matt Hardy's kicking off the show. So obviously not.


That belt it WAAAAAYYY too big for Matt.


And damn, Tony Atlas sells the Twist of Fate better than half the roster.

[klunderbunker]

That's why he's a Hall of Famer. I knew we'd find a reason eventually.

MORRISION should have been in the ecw scramble

[Papa Shango]

Evan Bourne. Pretty much the Number 1 reason why I watch ECW.

[klunderbunker]

He certainly is for me. BTW, the seedings are going to be pushed back until later on tonight. Got a bit sidetracked.

[Papa Shango]

I like how this match is starting out with some mat wrestling. It adds to dimension to Evan Bourne, who's pretty much been a pure high-flyer, and also makes those impact aerial moves look all the more devastating.

[klunderbunker]

Good match so far.

[Monkey Winchester]

HOLY SHIT. Morrison got a victory.

[mattitude2007]

Matt Hardy rules.

[xmoshx]

solid match

[Papa Shango]

Evan looks like he might have really been hurt. He hit his head pretty hard on the apron.

[mattitude2007]

Who is this chubby blonde dude? Jack 'Swagger'? lol.

[klunderbunker]

That's Jake Hager. He's the FCW champion where he's their Goldberg.

[Papa Shango]

His real name is Jake Hager. He is the FCW Heavyweight Champion. And I thought he was pretty impressive.

I hope Mark Henry sits on Hornswoggle.

[klunderbunker]

He's on a big win streak down there. His finisher is the Hager-meister. Sweet name.

[Papa Shango]

Apparently he's a former All-American amateur wrestler in college.

Wow, a big guy with actual wrestling background. WWE may be on to something.

[mattitude2007]

That's Jake Hager. He's the FCW champion where he's their Goldberg.

Well...I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Obviously that isn't going to carry over into his main roster run however.

[klunderbunker]

Allegedly he's the most ready guy in their minors. I saw two of his matches. Imagine Goldberg's dominance with Haas' ability on the mat.

[mattitude2007]

I see. I always respect amateur wrestling credentials. But uh...having the look does count for something, and his awkward look will prevent him from being say...Brock Lesnar 2.0.

[AMERICANFIRE]

yeah me to a real wrestler can go far in this buisness. this guy hager was way better then ortiz and has a much better finisher and he has got some meat on him whitch is good. he kind of reminds me of lance cade only he actually wrestles on t.v.
