Pinfall Recall
The Best Wrestling You’ve Ever Heard

Hey all you Pinfall Recall fans, good news. To make Pinfall Recall your hook up for all things wrestling, we here at the Pinfall Recall headquarters have taken several steps to do so. Firstly, JG and CK are pretty frequent at dishing out podcasts. RDB and Milo (for now you son of a bitch) are bringing you the juiciest news! and I DC am spearheading the project of all projects! (UNTIL I MAKE MY GRAND RETURN TO THE MIC) Bringing you loyal fans the Best Columns around! Starting with this one! In a new PFRC Series…..”Totally True or Fuckin’ False“. So without further ado, I proudly present you with Show #1 in the www.pinfallrecall.com EXCLUSIVE column, lets find out if things are …..”Totally True or Fuckin’ False“.

Question #1
As much as WWE tries, Matt Hardy will never truly be “Main Event” material.

CK - Fuckin’ False.  But with a catch.  I’m forced to answer the question as given, so I will.  I said Fuckin’ False because I do think that Matt has the potential to be “Main Event” material.  I don’t think he’ll ever be remembered as one of the best if he gets there, and I don’t even think he’ll be there for a long part of his career, but I do think he has it in him.  However, I don’t like the question, because it implies that WWE has tried to get him to main event status.  I don’t think that’s the case.  They have buried Matt many times before, and I don’t think they will ever actually try to get him there.  The ECW title is not main event.  It is the equivalent of the Intercontinental Belt, or maybe like the Cruiserweight Belt used to be.  WWE will never look at Matt as a main eventer, despite how over he is with the fans, and that’s why I don’t like this question.

JG - Fuckin’ False.  I think Matt Hardy has complete potential to run the show if he is given the chance.  The big thing is that we’re only getting to see Matt Hardy v. Mark Henry.  Let’s be honest, I don’t care who it is, if you put them up against Mark Henry, the chance of it being a good match are slim.  Matt Hardy does everything he can to make it work, and he definitely has the talent and the passion to run with the title and truly be a main event-er.  The other thing is… he would be a better champion if we could put him on a show with a smaller champion.  For example, Hardy v. Jericho could be great and I truly believe that Hardy v. Cena (when Cena comes back) could be great too.  What if we gave Jeff Hardy the belt on SD and then had Matt come over and started a brother v. brother feud?  You see… there’s definite potential with Matt Hardy.

RDB - Totally True, But not because WWE tries. I think WWE fucked him a while back by having him job forever and now that they are building him up, I can’t see him going any farther than an ECW title. Matt will always have a fan-base and IMO he would be a good champion. But I can’t see them ever pulling the trigger like they want to do with Jeff. Though if his ECW run is good hopefully he will prove me wrong.

Danny Charisma - Well this is an easy one, obviously Totally True. Matt Hardy is not entertaining, a wrestling god or have the look of a main-eventer. Hell, does he even have a character or gimmick? Matt is kinda like Chavo Guerrero, they try to push him, but it just doesn’t work. Just like Chavo, Matt has TOTALLY DESTROYED the ECW Championships credibility. This is why Matt will never be more than what he is now, true WWE fans just wont stand for it! Jeff on the other hand is where the money’s at.

Question #2
TNA constantly drops the ball by poor overall booking of thier shows.

JG - Fuckin’ False.  I don’t think TNA does any worse booking than the “E” does; in fact, I think they’re usually booked better.  At least TNA’s feuds all make sense, and they all have enough, but not too much story to build things up.  TNA has a lot of guys that are great at what they do and are completely 100% passionate and dedicated to the business.  They want nothing more than to become true competition with WWE, and honestly these days, I’m finding that I would rather watch TNA than WWE.

Danny Charisma - Totally True! TNA has always been shit! The reason for this is thier shitty booking. They constantly burry thier homegrown talent, They waste their time with gimmicks that go no where, example, Super Eric. They have far too many gimmick matches with constant run in’s and too many twists and turns. They have sooooooo much potential from a roster stand point, but they waste it every single time. They NEED to start booking WWE Style if they truly want to be succesful.

CK - Totally True.  And I know that JG will disagree with me.  I’ll admit that I haven’t been as avid a TNA fan as I would have liked up to this point, although I’ve seen every show for about the last 2 months, and I’ve kept up with results in the time I wasn’t watching.  The current New vs Old thing is very interesting to me, and I like several of the other story-lines they have running now, but I think the fact that I couldn’t be bothered to tune in is a testament to the fact that I was put off by everything I was hearing about the shows for months, and that says a lot.  I think things are improving, and the fact that the agents are going to get more involved is a positive.  I’ve been starting to enjoy the shows more, and I think they are slowly turning in the right direction, but they have squandered a lot of good faith and wasted their originals pretty heavily for the last year.  So while things are getting better, I hold to my answer that right now, the booking is indeed dropping the ball more often than not.

RDB - Fuckin’ False - I think this is evident if you look at Bound for Glory. Yes Sting went over again, and yes he won’t hold the title that long but if you look at most of those matches, they were good. The X-Division is looking stronger and the main event scene seems to be changing a bit. I think they can do some good with Foley and in the next couple of months you will see an improved TNA product.

Question #3
The creation of the new “Legends Championship” in TNA is a waste of time, They could have created a mid card championship that would have been more effective in the long run.

RDB - Totally True - But not for the reason of creating another mid-card belt. The X-Division belt is the mid-card belt so they don’t need another one, it would have been the European Championship of its time. I don’t think it could be a complete waste of time to tell you the truth. They could use it as a way for Booker to help put someone over who they could build to be champion, but will they? If they would do this I think it would be a good idea but it sounds like a way for Booker to bury some lesser known superstars so I’ll go with true.

JG - Totally True.  I think they truly believe that this “Legends Championship” is going to help the Old vs. New angle, but I think it only stands to hurt it.  A silly waste of a belt that’s going to have matches between people that I don’t care about.  I would love to watch more mid-carders (Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, etc…) get to fight over a new belt than the old people like Booker T, Sting, etc.  I mean, there is the X Division Championship, but another belt (kinda like when WWE had the European Title) wouldn’t hurt at all.

Danny Charisma - Totally True and I hope and pray to myself that this somehow turns into a midcard championship. If they actually keep this belt around for longer than 3 months, I will shit my pants, I’ve never seen such a more stupid move in wrestling. This is a horrible idea and proof why TNA drops the ball with everything. Also, I would love if they kept the X-Division title to crusierweights only.

CK - Totally True.  This choice is a great example of the booking problems from the last question.  Is there nothing better to do with the 2 hours a week than fight over this silly title that they can’t have looked more than a couple months ahead with for the booking?  The name of it is outright dumb as well.  When you look at the “legends” in TNA right now you have Sting, Nash, and Foley that could even really qualify.  With Booker starting it, logic puts Angle and Booker into that category as well.  No one else really comes close.  Which really comes down to meaning this is a waste of my time.   Now if it eventually turns into some kind of mid-level title and loses the “Legends” name down the line?  I’m all for that.

Question #4
Santino Marella is the best choice to beat the Honky Tonk Man’s record Intercontinental Championship Reign.

Danny Charisma - OMG!!…….TOTALLY TRUE! If anyone deserves to beat the HTM’s reign, it should be the greatest Intercontinental Champion ever! Santino Marella! Not only is he doing a great job hyping the belt, but he gets it on TV Every Week. Santino has brought the prestige of the IC title back into the WWE. Another reason why he would be perfect is because he is like The Rock, NO ONE and The rock means No one, will ever forget Santino Marella, he is pure gold.

RDB - Fuckin’ False - For the love of god I hope not. I couldn’t take a year of him being champion and frankly he’s no Randy Orton who was the best Intercontinental Champion to have held the belt in the last 5 years. They aren’t helping him by having him go over 55 year olds in a PPV match and they need to have him beat legitimate guys for him to stop being a joke.

CK - Fuckin’ False.  Now granted, Honkey Tonk wasn’t a super-serious wrestler type either, but I just don’t see Santino as he is now being a good choice to break such a record.  Not only are his current matches a discredit to the title (when he even is actually putting it up), they are a joke.  It is wasting the time of other mid-carders who could use a push of being involved in higher profile IC title matches, and while it certainly provides comedy now, I don’t see myself feeling the same way 55 weeks from now.

JG - Totally True.  As much as I hate to say it, after watching Santino over the last few weeks, I have to say that he’s been unbelievably entertaining.  And let’s be honest, the Honkey Tonk Man was not the best wrestler ever, but more of a gimmick that people loved to watch.  I’m not saying he was bad in the ring (and if you remember back when Santino was actually kinda-sorta-wrestling he wasn’t bad either), but I’m saying that given Santino’s gimmick and the comedy that he passes to the masses, I wouldn’t be mad if he took the record.  Truth is, if he takes the record, it proves that the IC title is worthless, then WWE will likely put it on Kofi thus dooming him to defend a title that everyone thinks might as well be plastic.  I’d like to see someone take it off Santino in week 63 or 64, but if he took the record, I wouldn’t be TOO pissed, since I basically stopped paying attention to the IC title after Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels were fighting for it.

Question #5
Jackass And WWE are actually pretty entertaining together!

JG - Fuckin’ False.  I hate stupid things like this and WWE thinks it’s going to bring some great ratings.  The fact is, it might boost ratings in the 10-18 year-old demographic, but it’s not going to do anything major for the show and ultimately it hurts the overall product that WWE is trying to create.  Johnny Knoxville is a horrible actor (except in The Ringer), and Chris Pontius is fucking stupid.  Ultimately one of a few things are going to happen.  Johnny Knoxville and his counterparts are going to get actually hurt (did you see Johnny’s “bump”??), Johnny Knoxville and his counterparts are going to go over Khali et al, which will effectively prove to us that the “E” hates Khali and has nowhere for him to go spelling his impending release, or Khali et al are going to end up SQUASHING harder than ever the Jackass crew, making us all feel like we wasted a part of our lives watching something when it could’ve at least been a real match.  The only thing we can hope for here is that they have some sort of interference which could lead to a more important feud later on…  good luck to WWE on that one.

CK - Totally True.  Right now.  But we are only one week in.  We already used up midget jokes, the Boogeyman, and calling Beth Phoenix manly, not to mention a Big Dick Johnson sighting.  With all of those things exhausted (though they will likely show up again on Raw Tonight), there is really only so far this thing can go, which is why its good that Cyber Sunday is less than a week away.  Hopefully it stops there before they kill it, but right now, yes, its entertaining.

RDB - HAHAHAHA! Good one. It was kinda funny when Steve-O no sold Umaga a while back, but come on is it going to go anywhere? It will be interesting if they do an Anaconda Ball Pit match but I doubt that’ll happen, so fuckin’ false.

Danny Charisma - Totally True! whats better than one entertaining show? How about two entertaining shows! This is like the Simpsons and Family Guy coming together! Pure Amazingness. Johnny Knoxville for the record is amazing, I hope that this continues far into the future. We need a Team Jackass v.s. Team WWE match at survivor series 2008! I would buy the PPV for that reason only! Totally Fuckin’ True!

Hello all you PFRCers and welcome to Danny Charisma’s Unforgiven Predictions! The basis and selling point of this PPV is that all three World champions are in severe danger of losing their championships. The other sale point is the highly anticipated Unsanctioned Match between Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels! This PPV looks to be a fun concept and is definitely worth the $40+ to buy! Lets get to it!

WWE Unforgiven 2008

I gotta say, this poster is gay

Our official theme song for Unforgiven is by none other than Motorhead, This really is a great song and gets me pumped to watch the PPV.

WWE Diva’s Championship
Mayrse V.S. Michelle McCool (c)

- This match should be no where near this card, look at it! This is nothing but filler bitches and it actually pisses me off! Why the fuck are we paying to see this shit!? If it was the Women’s Championship I wouldn’t mind, but this piece of shit!? It adds nothing to the show, nothing to the championship and adds nothing but making a few 15 year-olds getting it to stand. This is garbage and we already know McCool is taking the win, after all, she is dating Mark Callaway! Garbage I say, just garbage.

World Tag Team Championships
Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase (who still aren’t known as Simply Priceless ) V.S. Cryme Tyme

- Finally! A real feud for the World Tag Titles! and on a PPV too! Yes this is awesome and that fact that these teams are actually over with the fans makes this match this much better! Although I can see this match being controlled by Cryme Tyme, I don’t see them ending Simply Priceless’ Title reign just yet, although the same could be said about the Miz and Morrision’s WWE Tag Team Title reign. I don’t see any forms of cheating to win or DQ endings, I see a nice clean pinfall with Simply Priceless picking up the win, after all, I believe they need a clean win especially after their jobbing to Cena a couple weeks back. Don’t expect the feud to end here.

Unsanctioned Match
Chris Jericho V.S. Shawn Michaels

- WOW, that’s all I have to say!, This feud is honestly the greatest feud I have ever witnessed. To me, this beats Rock/Austin, WWF/WCW, McMahon/Austin, Goldberg/Triple H. Never have I seen such impressive mic work, great matches or anything! This feud is just pure gold and I can see this match going 30+ minutes with both men bleeding buckets and being stretchered out. This match is going to be the match of the night hands down. The fact that its unsanctioned means there can’t be a winner, but the man that stands tallest will be Chris Jericho, especially as Michaels has a torn tricep. Now, after Jericho wins, he should be the one who takes the belt off of CM Punk and hold it until Wrestlemania where HBK comes back and takes it in a ladder match! Amazing! Match Of the year candidate?

ECW Championship
Championship Scramble Match
Mark Henry (c) V.S. The Miz V.S. Matt Hardy V.S. Chavo Guerrero V.S. Finlay

- The first of three scrambles and this one is for the silver ECW Championship (which I love btw). But before I begin, why Chavo & Miz? This match would be ten times better with John Morrison and Evan Bourne, ugh that would be sweet as hell! Anyways back to the match. In case you don’t know the rules for a scramble, 2 Men start, with a new guy coming every 5 minutes. The match itself is 20 minutes and there can be as many pinfalls and submissions as need be. A great and fun concept! This match should be extreme rules but what the fuck is that these days eh? With all the people that are going to be at ring side, Bam Neely, John Morrison, Tony Atlas & Hornswoggle, I cant see there being a whole lot of title changes, but I could be wrong! I cant see Chavo or Miz winning. Finlay sucks big hairy nuts as a face, so he’s not winning. This leaves us down to two. But I see Mark Henry retaining the ECW Championship and continuing his feud with Matt “I’m not Jeff” Hardy.

World Heavyweight Championship
Championship Scramble Match
CM Punk (c) V.S. Kane V.S. Batista V.S. JBL V.S. Rey Mysterio

- Okay, before I begin, I wanna say, FUCK WWE and FUCK REY MYSTERIO. The “E” totally dropped the ball on the whole Kane/Mysterio feud! What the fuck!? Mysterio should have no part in this match, he should have been replaced with the 2008 king of the ring, William Regal! Ugh, whatever though. This is the most obvious of the three scramble matches, I don’t see Kane or Mysterio winning. JBL, as much as I would love that no, and Batista, he’s a no-go. That leaves one man, CM Punk, especially with this hinted feud with Randy Orton, I can’t see WWE pulling the belt away from him just yet. Your winner CM Punk.

WWE Championship
Championship Scramble Match
Triple H (c) V.S. MVP V.S. The Brian Kendrick V.S. Jeff Hardy V.S. Shelton Benjamin

- This match is going to be awesome! The fact that Smackdown is pushing new-coming stars is a double thumps up for me! Just great! I see this match having the most title switches, nail-biting action, and being the best scramble out of the three. I see all the challengers getting a temporary title run, and I see Triple H not dominating the entire match. But there are a few people that may fuck with the match here such as…

We all know that these four people will be somehow involved in the match or after the match, but the question is how? This leads to the speculation! That’s why this is going to be the most exciting match of the three scrambles. Could Jeff Hardy finally win the WWE championship? Could WWE pull the trigger and give it to Shelton who’s had a huge push of late? What about the supposed HBK/Diesel push that Kendrick and Ezekiel are getting? What about the Undertaker/Vickie Guerrero? So many possibilities and I can’t wait to see this match; should be entertaining to say the least! If I had to choose a winner, I’d have to say, your winner and new WWE Champion…………..Jeff Hardy

FINAL THOUGHTS
There we have it! Looks to be a great card and is def worth an order! Get it! Buy it! Go! This PPV, looks to be ten times better than anything this year with the exception of Rumble and Mania. Tune in later to get a PPV recap, until then, I’m…
