AWMPSCEIRLOMGG/Before Week 1 (Hiring)

Wrestling Observer News

 * The main event on Friday night Smackdown was Bobby Lashley taking down Kurt Angle to defend his World Heavyweight title. Lashley has become a talented competitor since a couple of years ago, and he wears the belt well. Maybe we found the next Batista?
 * The same card also had Bradshaw defeating Rene Dupree in a Texas dog collar match (I dunno if that match was actually originated in Texas), and Chavo Guerrero defeating Braden Walker, in a match that somehow drew plenty of crowd heat.
 * On New Japan's World Pro-Wrestling program, there was a solid 4 star match where Cho-Ten defeated the Future Stars. Masahiro Chono got the pinfall but Minoru Tanaka had the star performance of the night.
 * In Puerto Rican wrestling, Shane Sewell defended his WWC Universal Heavyweight title against Lightning on WWC Crossfire 2007.
 * Cheerleader Melissa has walked out on Jersey All-Pro Wrestling, with the rumor mill claiming anything from missing payments to a locker room brawl as the reason behind the exit.
