at my pick being taken already.

YES, finally WAR has returned to EWB! Thank you GD, you are a god!

Ahem, now that that's out of the way, let me say that I cannot wait for that show.

WOW. That's all I can say. Excellent write-ups, excellent everything. This is why this is my favorite diary EVER.

*bows in appreciation of Javert's greatness*

None, I believe he said the next post would be Mania.

Shit, I was gonna kill someone if this was an "is this thing dead" bump. Cool to see ya got a new GF D, and congrats on the (I hope) promotion.

Oh yeah, sweet to see this thing isn't officially six feet under. Long live Rise of the Independents!

No one really knows why the promotion (in real life) is known as BIG MOUTH. It just is, apparently. Crazy old Uei and Maeda.

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna keep tabs on this.

Really good original Newswire there, and I can't wait for your first show. The bit with Dunn and Marcos and the "Appetite for Destruction 2005" tour just rules.

That's right, I'm back to my winning ways. Watch out boys and girls, because I'm winnin' me another tape!

Speaking of my tape...I still haven't gotten it...

Anyways, here are my predictions:

-John Walters vs. Jimmy Jacobs- Walters is okay, but Jimmy, is, well, Jimmy. HUSS HUSS HUSS, Jimmy wins.

-Jerry Lynn vs. Danny Daniels- Lynn is only slightly less boring than Double D, so I'll say Lynn.

-Trent Acid vs. B-Boy- Too wrestlers I used to mark out for like a little school girl, that I now despise. I say B-Boy wins it.

-AJ Styles vs. Homicide- This match was good in ROH, and I expect the same here. Styles goes over.

-Dan Maff vs. Jay Briscoe-Jay should win this, because he's just overall better than Maff.

-Austin Aries vs. Mark Briscoe- Austin, because he's Mark's new Personal Jesus.

-Teddy Hart vs. BJ Whitmer- BJ will break Teddy's neck, thankfully.

-Samoa Joe vs. Arik Cannon(replacing Amazing Red)- Joe wins, but Cannon shows everyone why they love him so much.

MOTN honors to Aries-Mark.

-Frankie Kazarian (2-2-1) vs. Sonjay Dutt (0-5)- Dutt, because I just can't see him going winless in this thing.

-Chris Sabin (2-3) vs. Michael Shane (1-3-1)- Sabin, because he's WAY beter than Shane.

-Super Dragon (3-1-1) vs. Bryan Danielson (5-0)- Danielson had better win this match.

-Spanky (2-3) vs. Paul London (3-1-1)- God, another match I really don't wanna predict. Oh well, I'll say London.

-Christopher Daniels (3-2) vs. Petey Williams (2-3)- Daniels, the all-around competitor vs. Williams, the one-trick pony. Yeah, Daniels better win this.

-Alex Shelley (2-3) vs. Low Ki (4-1)- Interesting little match here. I'll say Shelly in an upset.

-Roderick Strong (replacing The Messiah) (2-3) vs. Chris Hero (2-3)- Strong should win this, as he has charisma, whereas Hero is just a cooky-cutter technical genius.

-CM Punk (4-1) vs. Colt Cabana (1-4)- I think Cabana pulls out the huge upset in this one.

MOTN honors go to Spanky-London.

I wish this promotion were real, Lakewood is like a fifteen minute-half hour drive from where I live!

Anyways, good recap of past shows, backstory, and news tidbits to bring us up to date. I'll definitely be checking back in for your first full show.

-Trent Acid (2-3) vs. John Walters (2-3)- I just have to say Walters, as Acid hasn't impressed me much lately.

-Jerry Lynn (3-2) vs. B-Boy (3-2)- If I have to give my opinions on Lynn again, I'll puke. But I don't like B-Boy either. I'll say B-Boy though.

-Homicide (5-0) vs. Danny Daniels (replacing Xavier) (0-4-1)- Ain't no well in hell Homicide loses to a reformed ECW referee. Not like ECW ever needed refs anyway.

-AJ Styles (4-1) vs. ??? (replacing Matt Stryker) (0-4-1)- I think that Jack Evans will get a permanent spot, and face AJ. He'll lose of course.

-Amazing Red (1-4) vs. Jay Briscoe (3-2)- Ah, the timeless classic. Wait, no that's Misawa-Kawada. This match is still good no matter where it happens though. I say Red pulls out what has to be considered the upset.

-The returning Teddy Hart (1-4) vs. Mark Briscoe (2-3)- Teddy will win this, despite my extreme hatred for him.

-Dan Maff (2-3) vs. BJ Whitmer (3-2)- Hillbilly Jesus vs. a much bigger Homicide (with a cooler #1 finisher though). I'll say Hillbilly Jesus goes over.

-Austin Aries (4-1) vs. Samoa Joe (4-1)- Hm, the new ROH champ against the man whom he dethroned. Only in bizarro Rise of the Independents universe, this might not have happened. I'll say Aries goes over though.

MOTN: God, I have to think Styles-whomever he's wrestling (if I'm right and it's Evans, this is a shoe-in).

No problem D, just wanted to remind ya.

Uh, 6-3. At least it's above .500.

Good show anyway though, but I'm sure you already knew that. Glad to see Messiah gone.

I'll post my predictions a bit later.

I chose ROH's Glory By Honor III and PWG's Reason for the Season shows, as they fit on the 6 hour max tape.

I still haven't received my tape yet though,

When did that happen K? I didn't see anything about it on Strong Style Spirit (which is where I get all my puro news).

Pretty cool that the U-30 is going to the YL's who really need a title to fight for.

So the U-30 is sealed in your diary? Just wondering. Aside from that, this is gonna be really sweet if done right, which I hope you do. Good luck, as I'll definitely be reading.

WOW, this seems like a US version of New Japan, with a tinge of Toryumon/Dragon Gate thrown in. New Japan with the MMA influenced matches and with the focus on young lions proving themselves, and DG in that all of the wrestlers are trueborns, except for Rico and Rutten.

I can't wait for the eventual clashes between Rico and Rutten and Harrington-Gonzalez.

Scott Hall (enormous underachievers)

Scott Hall an underachiever???? What the hell are you on. Hes legendary and hes proven it one of the biggest draws in wrestling the best guy never to have won a world title do you want me to go on?? The man that saved WCW in 1996
