Eric Bishoff's hair is better than it was, but I liked him with the beard.
What, exactly, was with Jericho's boots/tights last week? They looked like they were split.
Kurt Angle has a nice European uppercut.
----
Carlito's music is good but it doesn't fit on RAW.
Do they reuse the same apples on every Cabana?
Wait, Jericho being fired is cool, even though Carlito was teaming with him.
If you're going to wear a suit, for Christ's sake make it look better than HB
And is Cena getting out classed again?

Masters gets the win? One Tit up
M.Presses
Did Dumbell work
Finished off with 125 pds for 11 reps and I did pretty well here. Could've hit 12 if I wanted to.
Legs -- Kind of got myself hurt here on the leg press but I think I'm going to be okay. 5plates with 30pds for 10reps on each side but the length of the range of motino seemed to be a little different. Feet hurt a little bit as usual.

Rey gets the 619, Batista gets the Bomb, and all Benoit hits on Orlando is one German suplex? Christ, at least let him get three in.
Speaking of Jordan, I liked him better bald.
What the hell is with Psicosis' hair? He needs to go back to the dreadlocks.
Nothing like a second-rope rolling finisher to entertain me.
Kerwin White kicks ass, except for the racism bit.
Rob Conway's moustache should be worshipped.
The more hair on Ric Flair's head, the better.

PRIDE: Final Conflict 2005
Sunday, August 28th, 9:00pm EST
This Sunday, on Pay Per View, two of the top heavyweight fighters on the planet will go head-to-head in one of the biggest fights in Mixed Martial Arts history.
History.
It’s funny, I find myself thinking a lot about MMA history and what has led to these two men going into battle. It’s not just their history, but THE history of the sport that has lead to this Sunday. The evolution
With the glut of fantasy booking that has started springing up all over the place lately, I've decided to take a crack at it. I'll be taking hold of the NWA starting in the middle of 1989. If you've read Loss's blog, and if you haven't I recommend you do, then you'll have read him mentioning that we batted around ideas for booking the NWA in 1989 based off of Ric Flair being able to lure away a group of wrestlers from the WWF that he was after. With Loss taking a shot at booking WCW from early 1
I want to make this a short as possible, a longer version will becoming soon:

Last night I was bored, but it was poorly timed boredom. Didn't feel like foruming it up, that's what got me bored by 9pm (Eastern) in the first place. Nothing I wanted to watch was on TV. I didn't have time to watch a DVD movie or PPV because the syndicated episodes of "King of Queens" I enjoy so much were going to be starting in about an hour.
Then I realized I own video games and that this short period of time between things to do or watch was the perfect place to use them.

Orlando Jordan Vs Chris Benoit
So did Stephanie look at the booking sheet this afternoon and realized “Oh fuck! That Benoit guy has a match? I need more time for my soap operas. I got an idea, people like benoit don’t they? Have him beat Orlando James in 25 seconds and they will love me!”
It wasn’t even a squash. It was just Blink and over. It didn’t really make Benoit look lethal but more like Jordan was a complete pussy.
Benoit was too excited fo

So when did this trend of rating matches highly solely based on the story it tells, completely ignoring every other factor, start? Or is it just a by-product of the gradual change of the smart community to the anti-conformist, WWE fan? These people are usually the first to crucify a match for being too spotty. "Good wrestling isn't all about spots!!!". Well, good wrestling isn't all about the story either. If the story of the match is good, but the story is told poorly, does the match deserve as
A recent post got me thinking about a theoretical situation, and I extrapolated a sequence of events in my mind. What if someone claims that a certain wrestler has been involved with a great number of match of the decade cadidate type matches, when the reality is the wresltler in question has likely been involved in zero? What if someone calls this person out on that and asks for a list and explanation of said matches? Due to none of the matches actually being anywhere near that level, what if t
