PILLS! PILLS! PILLS!

Avoiding the guy-saves-girl stuff: - Big Bossman refusing to accept the Million Dollar Man's bribe. - Diesel chasing off Sid after he blindsided HBK the night after WrestleMania XI. - Vince fighting for his daughter at Armageddon '99. - Linda McMahon pulled quite the babyface maneuver (one of many, on her behalf, actually) in granting Mick Foley a chance at main eventing a WrestleMania. - Shawn Michaels sticking his neck out to prolong Austin's stay at Survivor Series 2003 is a good example. - Foley kissing McMahon's ass to save Melina's job is another one (and, unfortunately, nothing came of this).

For my next selection, I shall acquire the services of... Peter Sellers I am in need of a performer with the unique sense of humor and unrivaled comic timing that this man brings to the table. I seriously consider him to be a steal this early on.

Not at all.

To appeal to children. I was a child at the time, and I thought it was really stupid.

I should be receiving Quick Change from Netflix today.

For my fifth round selection: Kevin Spacey "I've gone and done it again."

Any chance TNA's going to change it to a rip-off version soon? Would it be odd to say that I would be disappointed if they don't do that?

Somebody mentioned acquiring this man's in-ring services recently, but I forget exactly when and where: All I can say is, please, let this spill over into the occasional WWE television appearance!

That'll be my project for the weekend. Permission to name drop.

Russian Circles are good. Check 'em live if you can.

That works for me.

It was also during this reign that, for the first time ever, the Royal Rumble match did not close the pay-per-view. Hart was in the main event of every pay-per-view for this run.

Watch TNA do a Suicide vs. Homicide match just to try to be funny. And Sabu should referee.

Don't know. When they had the 2004 tour, they edited the video to include anti-Bush stuff. Now whatever the band is today is suing them to stop. I don't think Sammy has any say over it. He wrote the lyrics, so he should have a say.

Classy.

I believe that Roma turned on Erik Watts during a tag team match on Saturday Night some time in December 93. There was a plan set in place to have Roma turn on Arn Anderson around that time, but the whole Arn-Sid fiasco prevented that from happening, so they just went with a different scenario. The Assassin managed Orndorff for the latter part of '93, and the last appearance that I can recall was Clash of the Champions in January '94.

Anything beyond a six-pack of cans will kill my throat. Bud Light is the cheapest bottled beer in my region.

Now that you mention it, that does resemble the ending of a Twilight Zone episode.

Well, it has been awhile since I initiated on of these, so... here goes. At the 9th annual Survivor Series Vince McMahon finally pulled the plug on the year-long Diesel experiment and placed the WWF Championship back around the waist of the most popular talent at the time- Bret "Hitman" Hart. It was during this reign that many would argue that Bret was merely rebuilding the credibility of the championship for when it was time to pass it along to Michaels, who had been gaining momentum, from both a political standpoint and as an onscreen performer. Bret would go on to have an exceptional main event with Davey Boy Smith, two matches with The Undertaker that mostly served to move him into a feud with Diesel and a blowoff cage match with Big Daddy Cool himself. All of this leading into the most ambitious WrestleMania main event, a one-hour iron man struggle, designed to usher in the new era of Shawn Michaels. Looking back, what do you think of the way that Hart was presented during his 3rd championship reign? Did the WWF treat Bret as more of an afterthought during this period? Also, I encourage discussion of other angles and stories from around this time, as to define the political climate of the company and the direction that they were taking the product.

You should pay a visit to conservative Indiana some time. A lot of these people are that stupid. I reckon it's just worst if you drive south of here.

Yeah, those are the kinds of shows I was referring to.

I think that he's still around. MTV was actually fun up until the TRL era in 1998. Maybe I'm just getting old. Naw, their programming is shit now.
