Kane's Mullet Slacker

I like the ending in the workprint personally better than the theatrical version. I think the theatrical ending dragged a bit too much and I was just waiting for it to end. Also the escape was dragged out too much in the theatrical version. The workprint escape was much simpler and moved the story along faster.

The script for "The Incredible Hulk" was written by Zak Penn, who had a hand in crafting two "X-Men" films, "Fantastic Four" and "Elektra" for Marvel.

Looks like a very good tournament as there really isn't a clear cut winner in this one. It's up for grabs as there's some great competition. Although I'm kinda dissapointed that there isn't enough "international flavor" in the tournament. I would've liked to see Milano Collection AT in the tourny myself. None the less I'll be reading especially for the fued ender between Charlie and 'Cide.

APW Tag Team Championships

Matt Sydal and Delirious © vs. The Havana Pitbulls (Ricky Reyes/Rocky Romero)

A great show as usual. I'm also intrigued to as what Samoa Joe and the Pack and Colt Cabana will be up to next now that there feud is over. I'm hoping that the Daniels/Sydal feud is not over yet because that ending to the match left a sour taste in everyone's mouth. Matt Sydal must have his revenge! Awesome that SJK went over! The post-match brawl between Haas and Homicide was great and it's really turning out to be a great blood feud. Who knows what kind of sick twisted shit Homicide will do next. Alex Shelley retaining was a foregone conclusion but I knew it would be a competitive match. Right now I don't see anyone with enough momentum to take the title off of him but Homicide. However you know Charlie Haas is going to get involved in the match. I wanted Roderick Strong to go over in the four-way but they were also in New York, Homicide's hometown, then again the fans were booing him so meh

The Final Battle

No Disqualifications, No Count-outs, no Interference, Anything Goes STREETFIGHT!

Samoa Joe vs. 'Classic' Colt Cabana

Colt will finally get the big victory ala his feud with Homicide in ROH and earn Joe's respect.

As much as I mark for Delirious Shelley will most likely retain but Delirious will take Shelley to the limit per usual.

APW - It Begins Again...

February 9th 2007

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Final Card:

HUGE Tag Team Main Event

Alex Shelley and 'The Notorious 187' Homicide vs. Jerry Lynn and Charlie Haas

Lynn and Haas need the win here

APW Lightweight Championship

Jay Lethal © vs. 'Sterling' James Keenan

SJK by DQ. I think Hallowicked will return the favor to SJK from last month but at the same time cost Jay Lethal the match. Hence setting up a potential three-way

Samoa Joe vs. 'The Messiah of the Backbreaker' Roderick Strong

Joe with the win but Strong will have a good outing

Ricky Reyes vs. 'Classic' Colt Cabana

Colt with the win to further the feud with Samoa Joe

Four Corner Match

Rocky Romero vs. Delirious vs. Sedrick Strong vs. Jimmy Rave

Rave gets the win in his return match

Danny Daniels vs. Matt Sydal

Sydal needs to get his win back against Daniels but the Cutting Edge will probably run in for a beat down afterwards with the Lizard Man, Delirious making the save for his partner

The Iron Saints (Vito and Sal Thomaselli) vs. The Ring Crew Express (Dunn/Marcos)

The Saints need the win here

Bonus Match

Hallowicked vs. KUDO

Common sense here

Plus: The Wildcards Open Challenge!

The line with Delirious trying to eat the Tag team championship :lmao: The Joe/Cabana feud is shaping up nicely, and the ending of the show with Samoa Joe coming out to answer Alex Shelley's challenge was great. Similar to Bryan Danielson on the 4/1 ROH show when he claimed he was the greatest ROH champion. Also the prospect of a Joe/Shelley match has me excited. I'm also really intrigued as to who this new superstar is that will face Alex Shelley, someone from Shelley's past? Austin Aries maybe?!

Unto the predictions:

APW Championship

Alex Shelley © vs. Milano Collection AT

Milano is a stop-gap challenger for the title but it will still be a competive technical showcase

APW Lightweight Championship

Jay Lethal © vs. Delirious

As much as I mark for the Lizard man I don't see him coming out the victor, unless of course the match ends in a no-contest with B-Boy spoiling the match.

Tag Team Main Event

The return of Jerry Lynn!

Jerry Lynn and Charlie Haas vs. The Strong Style Thugs ('The Notorious 187' Homicide/B-Boy)

Jerry Lynn is making his return in this match so he needs the victory here.

Lightweight Showcase 8 Man Tag Team Match

Gotta go with the Italians and SJK

--- Plus, who has hired Jimmy Rave for the night? And will he make an 'impact'?

Alex Shelley + Rave = EMBASSY

I finally caught up. This diary has a very ROH feel to it, and even resembles ROH with the newswire and the title historys and feud histroy "pages".

APW Championship

Triple-Threat Match

Alex Shelley © vs. Charlie Haas vs. 'The Notorious 187' Homicide

Shelley being the sneaky heel he is and all and steal a pinfall while the others are distracted with each other.

APW Lightweight Championship

Jay Lethal © vs. Hallowicked

Jay Lethal makes his first title defense. I'm guessing a B-Boy run-in post-match as well.

APW Tag Team Championships

Four-Corners Match

The Champions must be pinned to lose the titles.

The Strong Brothers (Roderick and Sedrick Strong) © vs. The Aerial Express (Scorpio Sky/Quicksilver) vs. Southern Comfort (Tracy Smothers/Chris Hamrick) vs. The Iron Saints (Vito and Sal Thomaselli)

I agree with TheRyno, there's really no other team in this match that has been booked strong [no pun intended] enough to take the belts off the Brothers.

'Classic' Colt Cabana vs. Rocky Romero w/Ricky Reyes and Samoa Joe

It's Colt Cabana~! Of course I'm gonna root for Cabanarama. The hometown boy gets the win, but suffers a post match beatdown from the Pack.

'Double C' Claudio Castagnoli vs. Milano Collection AT

This match is a toss-up it could go either way but I'm going to go with Milano

Tables Match

The Wildcards (Eddie Kingston/'Black' Jack Marciano) vs. The Ring Crew Express (Dunn/Marcos)

The RCE get their revenge

'The Generic Luchadore' El Generico vs. Salvatore Rinauro

Rinauro gets his win back over Generico that and he's been on a snide as of late. He needs a win here.

Extreme Warfare Match

* Six Men participate. Two are legal at once, and can tag in to any other competitor. Leaving the ring also counts as a tag.

* The match is an elimination rules bout.

* There are NO disqualifications, and no count-outs

* Eliminations are via Pinfall or Submission only, and the decision MUST occur in the ring.

Danny Daniels vs. Matt Sydal vs. KUDO vs. Trik Davis vs. Josh Daniels vs. B-Boy

To keep him strong for the Tag title match in January.

Bonus Match!

Delirious vs. 'Sterling' James Keenan

The Lizard Man triumphs!

I guess we can assume that Rat Pack Pro is dead then?

Oh well, this is an intriguing concept. Playing as a Devolpmental Fed.

If anyone can pull it off it's you.

I'l be reading.

I did pretty bad last time. Just like everyone else I'm glad to see this is back, I feared it was dead. I'm plesantly surprised.

That's a real bummer as things were starting to get really good, I too am hoping this diary can continue, but if it doesn't, it's been a great run, maybe even better than your previous efforts. I've always enjoyed reading your diaries, and your match write ups are straightforeward and right to the point. I like how your shows are more story focused and less on the matches. If there's one that I don't like about reading some diaries is the long-winded, drawn out match write ups. I also was taking a liking to the sXe group Punk started with Matthews, and I also like the surprise appearance of Al Snow on the last show as Lance Storms partner. Al Snow/Lance Storm is a dream team of mine. The Matt Hardy push was great as well as I'm a big fan of his, and the Rhino/Taz feud was heating up. I also really wanted to know what Richards big announcement was, and of course who was gonna win the RXC title.

AmDrag and Joey Matthews as the mystery entrants, nice. I hope we get to see more of Joey Matthews in RXC, and AmDrag is always a good addition to any roster.

The right people went over in the matches as well, although I'd rather have seen Storm beat Credible but that's just because I don't like Justin Credible. As long as he's eliminated in the next round I don't care.

Mr. RXC Matt Hardy for RXC Champion~!

That sucks about Punk and Steen not being able to make the tournament I was looking forward to Punk's match with Sandman. I think maybe The Messiah will be one of the replacements.

8 - Against All Odds

2 on 1 Handicap Match

NWA Heavyweight Championship

Jeff Jarrett © vs. Randy Savage and Monty Brown

Jeff Jarrett retains yet again, when Savage makes a shocking turn and joins up with Planet Jarrett.

7 - The Noose…

Unsanctioned Match – With No Referee

Raven vs. Jeff Hardy

With: Slash, Sinn, Father James Mitchell, The Kru and the Insane Clown Posse ringside!

With the assorted cast of characters at ringside I doubt it's going to stay one on one for long, but I'll go with Jeff Hardy [just to go against the odds ] and say he wins thanks to some interference from his brother, Matt Hardy.

6 - Against All Odds

3 on 2 Handicap Match

Abyss, Lex Luger and Sean Waltman vs. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall

The Outsiders because they just made their return and need a huge win. Also one of them is probably next in line for a title shot.

5 - Against All Odds

2 on 1 Handicap Match

TNA X-Division Championship

Petey Williams © vs. Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper

I will go with Daniels and Skipper winning just to be different and say Daniels gets the pin when Skipper is either incapacitated or Daniels just lays Skipper out and then pins Williams.

4 - Against All Odds

2 on 1 Handicap Match

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Konnan and Vampiro

Loosing to DDP would kill their heat.

3 - Against All Odds

2 on 2 on 1 “Hardcore Wildcard” Handicap Match

Kid Kash and Dallas vs. Jimmy Snuka and Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. the Sandman

Kid Kash and Dallas just cause they need the win and they've been jobbing to those geezers for months now.

2 - Against All Odds

4 on 5 Handicap Elimination Match

NWA Tag Team Championship – The Last Man Surviving Wins The Belts for His Team!

American Patriots © and America’s Most Wanted vs. New York Connection and Naturally Dark

Naturally Dark wins, just cause I like them and they'd be someone new besides the NYC or AMW. And I just don't see the Patriots surviving with the belts in this one.

1 - Against All Odds

X-Division Cluster Handicap Match with 2 on 1 on 2 on 1!

Winner(s) Become The No1 Contender(s) To The X-Division Title!

Chris Sabin vs. Kazarian and Shane vs. Hector Garza vs. D-Ray 3000 and Shark Boy

Hail Sabin, Hail Sabin! I just see Sabin coming out of this one as the surprise winner.
