A. She shouldn't even have to come back to class again for the semester.In similar news I was teaching a match lesson the other day, and tried to see how over Daniel Bryan was. We were doing functions, and I wrote a graph on the board and told the kids to tell me if it was a function or not. I said write it on your dry erase board, Yes or No. So when the majority of them wrote yes, I started doing the yes chant softly with the arms. A few caught on to it. I will make it mainstream soon. Shit I got a kid in public school.4 points

Triple H vs Chris Jericho -Last Man Standing Match Fully Loaded 2000. Man I hate Last Man Standing matches. The concept is great in terms of everything but the finish. I've never seen an LMS match end without being somewhat deflating because they big spot finish is great but the ten count kills the crowd. And normally these matches devalue every finisher because they use multiple as near falls. Anyway the story to this match is that Jericho is the cocky upstart taking on the big dog. The feud is built around Jericho kissing Stephanie, then ruining a bunch of Hunter's proper rivalries by costing him matches. He also gets Hunter stinkfaced! Yes! Anyway Hunter asks for Jericho, then he and DX beat the shit out of him, and give him the sledgehammer to the gut. This means that Jericho has the "internal injuries" gimmick going on, including the mythical "bandages around the midsection". Early on, that's the story of the match, obviously. They brawl into the crowd, with Jericho perhaps unreasonably holding his own in that situation. It's amazing the difference between Jericho and Hunter in everything. Jericho looks a rung beneath Hunter in everything, slower and looser and just less threatening. At the time, 14 year old me wanted a Jericho title run as much as the next guy. Looking back on this, and a few other related videos, it's clear why that didn't happen. He just doesn't feel like a star, the way Ziggler doesn't. Anyway Hunter eventually cuts him off and there's an extended heat section mostly based around Jericho being pugnacious and gutsy and Hunter beating the shit out of him. One of the reasons I think I liked Hunter so much back in the day, is that his offence was based around his own body part rather than his opponents. I wasn't watching the pro wres critically back then, but I was always a big fan of the knee attacked Hunter did. The running knee, knee smash, dropping the knee on a downed opponent etc was different and stood out. It helped that he was so crisp with the timing too. This heat segment is pretty great, Hunter is kneeing(~!) him in the gut over and over, then hooks in a pretty neat abdominal stretch that twists somewhat in the wrong direction and yet still looks worse. Jericho gets more or less nothing in here. Hunter gets a sleeper on Jericho, which is great because he hooks in a body scissors and basically engulfs Jericho's tiny frame with it. It's like the giant squid alien thing in Prometheus. Jericho gets up from the resulting ten count, gets a flurry, then hits the Lionsault onto Hunter's knees(~!). He gets up again and starts calling Hunter out, not fighting back just getting beaten down. I believe this is what you creepy Japan watchers call fighting spirit? This leads into a good old fashioned American Pedigree. At this point in the match, Hunter is doing a great job playing the dominant veteran. He grinds Jericho down, kisses the old lady a few times, sits back and watches the count. After the Pedigree he lays along the top rope like Michaels used to, and watches the count. Jericho starts getting up around 8ish and Hunter gets mad and goes outside for a chair. This is where the match picks up the pace and really gets going. Unfortunately it's also where Jericho starts getting offence in. After another count Jericho finally gets the momentum and really if this was anyone less bumpy than Hunter, it would look gash. He throws one neat charshot leading to a standard crimson mask for Hunter then starts doing his spots, notably the bulldog that implies that his one handed shove can force a 260lb man into a chair face first. He gets the LIontamer on, which quite frankly looks like a quad popper at this point because Hunter is about four times Jericho's height. Maybe a lift fell out? Hunter sells it like death, getting to the ropes and then climbing to the second... which surely increases the pressure on his back? Anwyay Jericho pulls him in again and JR says something about the mean streak Jericho has always needed. Steph hits him to break the hold and gets a Liontamer of her own. Jericho has basically turned the tide at this moment and to be fair both guys are doing that part of the story really well. Jericho comes off as fighty and tough, Hunter comes off as a guy struggling to hold on and a little bit underprepared for the amount of fight Jericho has brought. Man I love Hunter's punches. I know you guys like the real ones, but Hunter does these cool downward "precise" ones that look badass. The end basically comes as Jericho is on top. He sling shots Hunter into the ring post on the mat, gets the sledge and hits him in the gut because turnabout as we know is fairplay. Hunter ends up on the table, Jericho sets up for a Lionsault from the wall to Hunter on the announce table, Hunter low blows him, then backdrops him through the table. Hunter pops up at 9 1/4, then falls at 10 and wins. I feel like most of what was good in this match was Hunter. It's by no means a showcase for him, or the match I'd put as the best example of Triple H's 2000 being great, but it's a pretty good showing for him. The story of the match is really well done. Jericho, shitty moves aside, is really good as the upstart babyface trying to prove himself, and the switch in the match, pretty much exactly half way through, works well with both guys. Arrogance costs Hunter what was looking like a routine win for him, but Jericho's cockiness lets Hunter back into it periodically, and also results in the finish too. It's a pretty great elevator match for Jericho, moving him up from Eddie, Road Dogg and Chyna etc in the midcard. Hunter definitely does most of the work here, and really gives Jericho a lot considering he didn't rate him, at all.3 points

"More people may watch WWE, but then again, more people like Myley Cyrus than Emmylou Harris. These men are by gawd ath-a-letes, not sports entertainers!" If it's so wrong to wanna see angry, bitter J.R. treat Impact like a two-hour YouShoot against Vince and the WWE, I don't wanna be right. Only if this is how he debuts: Who would be Dr. Death's replacement in TNA? How did they do that? I remember them bringing lumber, cicular saws, and hammers out during one segment. They then unveiled the completed table in the next segment. This was all done in about 10, or 15 minutes. This makes me want to see a Secrets of Carpentry EXPOSED! special with Mike Holmes in the Harley role2 points

I didn't really get Meltzer's point about AJ being such a mark when he's such pals with Bret Hart, the King of All Marks for Himself. He was making fun of AJ for being so excited to hold a title held by such "greats" as Kelly Kelly, but it's the only title AJ can win. She can't help it if the booking's been crap. It was just a little too condescending for no real good reason.2 points

I was pretty amused that they brought out Tony Chimel to do Edge's entrance and do that weird thing he does when he announces Rated R Superstar. I think he even went out of his way to exaggerate it and Edge almost cracks up when it's announced.2 points

So, having just watched the video game panel, it just baffles me and unfortunately does not surprise me that the WWE was upset by it. Flair was both totally genuine and wildly entertaining; clear no-nos for the company.1 point

Listening to Flair on Austin's podcast revealed that the WWE guys weren't happy with Flair behavior at all, but the 2K guys and gaming dudes there all loved it. I even heard the GiantBomb crew joke around on their podcast about how crazy Flair was. They even told a story about how Alex asked Flair point-blank about his involvment with Red Alert 3 and Flair had no clue what he was talking about. Also, here's a little something I made last night when I was bored. Everytime I see a commercial of this show, I can only think of one thing: *click to enlarge*1 point

Oh, for me, this one is easy. Kane vs A-Train from Sunday Night Heat. For some reason, I can't find that match online, but here's their match from Smackdown, which is also damn good. Kane counters a Baldo Bomb with a fucking dropkick, they stiff the shit out of each other, and man, Albert was a really good worker back then.1 point

During Terry Funk's uber-heel run in WCW in '89, he had a match against Scott Hall (who was still rocking the mullet and pornstache). The twist is that the match was taped in Amarillo, so of course Funk was cheered as the hometown babyface.1 point
