Finally, a "TNA match" - I can comment with full confidence!

Hernandez is a fantastic big man in my opinion. He's not hugely agile but he's still very mobile and can take apart most people quite easily. Is Williams one of these people? Well, the region is a disadvantage for both really - it seems the curse of TNA wrestlers to end up in the wrong region. Williams to me is just an average cruiserweight who has been overrated due to his unorthodox finisher. In all honestly, I don't think he really stands a chance. It's not like he'd get the chance to perform the trusty Canadian Destroyer - he probably couldn't anyway due to Hernandez's size. So it's an average cruiserweight versus an exceptional big man, one who can easily work without his tag partner if given the chance. Williams is going to get his arse tossed over the border - the border between winning and losing that is.


He'll be on the losing side. Just so you know.

I think this'll be a good tournament for the big guys.

hernandez is big, strong and mobile. PETEY has a speed advantage but it wont be enough. PETEY will lend few early blows hit and run. but hernandez wont be bothered. he getshold of petey and beats him up. but PETEY slips away again, lends a kick to the midsection and tries a canadian destoyer but CANT perform it (hernandez is too powerful) . its hernandez all the way thereafter and the match turns into a beatdown for petey whose misery is ended by a huge BORDER TOSS all the way to canada.

latinos in the crowd are going to enjoy this one

 

[RatedR_HBK11]

Sugar Shane Helms returns to his roots! Helms came a long way from his WVCW days, and I think that he's got a super-bright future ahead of him when he returns from injury. The longest reigning CW champ in WWE history takes a Class A jobber to school.


I loved Stevie, especially in the bWo and RTC, but he's gotta pave the way for the younger, more talented guys, and the road is paved...Helms just has to walk on it.

 

[emperor.indian]

another match that looks to be one sided. but super crazy WILL survive initial few minutes because of the latinos in the crowd. HE hits few moves early, hits a moonsalt on arn but the ENFORCER kicks out. its arn anderson all the way thereafter, match ending with a huge SPINE BUSTER as supercrazy is caught in the air trying an aerial move .

 

[emperor.indian]

steven richards has given fans a fair share of good moments but as a wrestler he is no match for SHANE HELMS aka HURRICANE. the kids love him , so do the SMARKS. its going to ba a 7- 10 min match with SHANE HELMS dominating and winning the match after a devastating VERTEBRAKER

 

[emperor.indian]

a short squash ( not too rare for a hulk hogan match )

HULK HAS CHARISMA, POER PERSONA , EXPERIENCE AND CROWD IS WITH HIM.
vampiro had some ability but no brains to use it.

so he isnt a match for HULKAMANIA.

hulk hogan takes abt 5min to walk down the ramp ( to the NWO music).
instead of paying attention towards his opponent he is busy in SHOWING OFF TO THE CROWD.
as the bell rings vampiro goes forward and slaps HOGAN in the face. HOGAN BEGINS HULKING UP..............................a few punches by HOGAN............HANDS TO THE EAR.....................A LEG DROP.......1-2-3.

and someone thinks he was gonna kill HULKAMANIA

 

[emperor.indian]

SONJAY is very good wrestler and he hasgreat ability and i am A MARK for this guy. especially because he is from india ( billed from bombay india).
he might have done better had his gimmick not been that silly.
but he doesnt stand a chance of winning this one. all he manages to do is to make the his opponent look good . after initial flurry of areial maneovers and few quick counters he will fall prey to the camel clutch

 

[emperor.indian]

here is a good match .
but its eddies hometown.
eddie is bigger than even the rocks and the austins when he gets so much LATINO HEAT.
no doubt that he wins but the q is will other GUERERROS also join the party too and LIE, cheat and steal.
no disrespect to the japanese wrestler but he could have had a chance in other environments/arenas but not here. feel sorry for him

 

[Shadowmancer]

Results are Here

Low Ki with the victory in this match up. It is fairly clear he wins based on his success in gaining titles. His Stiff style should be able to take down John Kronus despite Kronus being a superheavyweight. Warrior's Way tp Kronus for Low Ki, after scoring a knockout victory.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Admittedly, Im not familure with Tyler Black. but im a huge Shelton fan, and I think there could be some fantastic spots ivolving the entrance ramp.

Dont think the crowd would be too much of a factor here, besides that when shelton is on, he can win a crowd over. Vote for Shelton.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Have to go with Lo Ki here...havent seen much of him in action, but after some research, and hearing the good things others have to say about him, he is an easy pick for me. Was never a real big fan of Kronus. I think he is sloppy and not real coordinated in the ring, and was not much more than a good canidate in the ECW crazy fests lol

 

[Mighty NorCal]

While sasaki is a very accomplished competitor, there is no way I can even think of taking him over one of the best of all time in my opinion, in his own hometown. Probably would be an awesome, athletic 15 minute or so match up. Guerrero with the win, prolly with a lil pulling of the tights/feet on the ropes on a roll up. HE LIES HE CHEATS HE STEALS

 

[Mighty NorCal]

now THIS would probably be very very entertaining. I can envison a great cat and mouse game with Sheik trying to chase Dutt down, and with dutt flying all over the place trying to mount as much offense as possible.Sheik would catch him in mid air and apply a monstorous backbreaker, followed by the camel clutch at around 10 to 12 minutes I think. Sheik goes over in a hard fought loss by Dutt

 

[Jesse]

I have never heard of the japanese guy, I gotta give this one to Eddie, its his hometown, i gotta give it to Latino Heat, i might be pursueded other wise if i actually knew anything about this japenese guy.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I actually am quite intrigued by this match, I think it would be interesting, and dont belive it would be a squash at all, But I certainley think Vampiro would have no chance whatsoever, and the fact that He has a quarter of the votes shows how ignorantly hated hogan is on the IWC. Its ludicrous to think Vampiro would ever beat Hulk Hogan in his prime. That being said, I think he WOULD represent himself quite well here, probably using some pretty brutal underhanded tactics to try and get over Hogan, but we all know, there would be some hulking up, some finger pointing, and DOOM for Vampiro. Hogan in 10:00

 

[Mighty NorCal]

wow gregory Helms as an 18 seed? are we serious kiddos???? O well anyway, I think this would be an EXCELLENT match, as Stevie Richards is a very good athletic wrestler, as is helms. Probably a very high impact back and forth, high spot affair. Very good entertainment value here I think. Richards is extremely underrated. Helms ducks under a stevie kick, and sets up the shining wizard for the W. good, hard hitting 10 to 15 minute affair.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

personally, I feel that this would be a very entertaining match as well. A damn fine opening contest to a big card. I think it would be pretty back and forth, as Crazy is a very good areial artist, but double A is just too damn good. after some time, he would take over and begin to dominate. The Enforcer was a beast. Probably takes over and dominates by the 8 minute mark. Double A FTW
