"Snork" is the word Wrestlecrap's forum (where I found the article) substitutes for "fuck". I fixed it.

This is really insane, I feel that Jericho was justified in his retaliation against these scumbags... A video of the incident: Chris Jericho Assaulted By Fans After WWE's Victoria, BC House Show: (From Wrestlingobserver.com/F4Weekly, as posted on the Wrestlecrap forum): This afternoon after the WWE house show in Victoria, my girlfriend and I went to see the wrestlers leave the arena (this was my girlfriend's first WWE event and she wanted to see them leave). The following is exactly what happened right in front of me and about another 50 wrestling fans who happened to be there are well: Chris Jericho exited the building, and walked over to his white rental vehicle. The crowd watching him leave was heckling him, but he was ignoring it. He gets in his vehicle and drives out of the arena parking lot, right past the crowd of us. As Jericho stops at a stop sign, a fan runs into the street and starts banging on his rental vehicle. At this point about 50 people rush into the middle of the intersection, blocking traffic in several directions, with no police and very inadequate and incompetent security (no WWE security guards period). My girlfriend and I were literally in the very front of the crowd, and this all went down literally five feet away from us. Chris Jericho opens the door to his vehicle in the middle of the road, and the fan shuts the door back on him. Jericho then gets out of the vehicle completely, and punches the fan in the face! This prompts another fan to jump in (he was friends with the first) and attack Jericho, and Jericho scuffles with the second guy. At this point, a woman who knows the second guy who attacked Jericho starts to jump in and get in Jericho's face (because he was fighting her friend). This is where the Save on Foods Rent-A-Security Guards stopped standing around watching this happen (I swear they thought they were watching a wrestling angle or something), and stepped in to separate Jericho and the woman, who was shoving him. Looking at Jericho's face he was obviously ready to explode and was restraining himself...but then the shit storm happened... He spit in the girl's face, and called her a "fucking bitch". The woman then spit in Jericho's face. Jericho then started cursing out the woman some more, and was getting ready to go back into his vehicle (as all of this is still happening in the middle of the road). While he was turning to go into his vehicle, one of the guys he was fighting shoved Jericho against his car. Another guy then shoved Jericho, and that time he bumped his head on the top of his vehicle. This was where Jericho seriously snapped. After bumping his head, Jericho went into a shit storm, throwing and swinging at everybody around him. He knocked one guy to the ground, told another fan that he was going to "fucking kill you". The woman who got spit on was still yelling at Jericho, so he piefaced her away from him (because the arena security couldn't keep them separated). As soon as he put his hands on the woman, ANOTHER fan jumps in and starts swinging at Jericho. Jericho grabs the guy and starts throwing him to the ground, and at this point I have to yank my girlfriend out of the way and into some other people because Jericho had literally thrown himself and the other guy into our direction and we would of been knocked down by the scuffle. The arena security try again at this point to regain order, and two of them grab Jericho and start yelling at him to calm down, to which Jericho responds by taking a swing at one of the security guards and yelling at them to "do your fucking job and get the fucking police here". Then he shoves the second guard to the ground and tells him to "stay the fuck off me". Well, as that happens, the chick lunges at Jericho AGAIN, and this time Jericho actually punches the woman in the face, and shoves her to the ground. This stunned everyone, and the girl's friends ended up jumping in trying to fight Jericho, to which he fought all of them off, then storms into his vehicle swearing and speeds off, running through a stop sign in the process. This whole thing happened over the span of about 5 minutes (of the street being blocked by this ordeal), and the woman ended up calling the cops on Jericho. They arrived 5 minutes after Jericho left, complete with a Paddy Wagon. The WWE's head of security did not see the incident, so he was there trying to figure out what happened along with the cops at the same time while yapping on his cell phone, and the woman is pressing charges against Jericho. As crazy and unbelievable this sounds, it can all be backed up with whatever police report was filed on the scene this afternoon. I hope this made sense, as a lot of stuff happened. If you have any questions or need clarification, just ask. This was taped by several people with cell phone cameras, but there were only 50 people down there so I hope the video makes it way to the internet. Regardless, this went down as one of the craziest things I have ever seen in my life (even if it didn't involve Chris Jericho), and Jericho could be in some serious legal trouble over this one; although he was provoked, he seriously snapped and crossed the line.

Windham Rotunda looks alot like Hurley from Lost.

I don't know, I'd say its more like 60%. I hate sports and none of my friends who watch wrestling like "real" sports. And everyone I know who watches mma, baseball, or football, thinks wrestling is "gay, fake shit".

I hate all of the stupid reality shows on VH1 and MTV, both of those channels have been horrible ever since they started showing nothing but reality shows 24/7.

In the February 2009 issue of Blender magazine, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz compared himself to the Undertaker. But it seems like Wentz stopped watching WWE around 1991. He said: "Being famous is like being in the WWF. When we first came out, I was Hulk Hogan. Kids loved me. Now I'm more like the Undertaker. The thing people don't understand is, the boos are the same as the cheers to me. I just love to wrestle."

I noticed that if you set Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin as a tag team, they're announced as "The Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team".

EGM was great in the mid-late 1990s, but it became a shell of it's former self. I loved it when they did top 100 lists. And I guess I'm in the minority, but I found Seanbaby to be really annoying after his first couple of issues. But I still read it every now and then, and I felt the reviews were probably alot less biased than Game Informer (which is owned by GameStop and always has pics of its editors partying with MS or Activision employees). And it bums me out that print media is dying out, I much prefer reading long articles in a magazine to reading them online.

I have Rock Band 1 and use the instruments to play Guitar Hero World Tour & they all work fine. The old Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul guitar works with Rock Band too.

Atleast 5 of these people will be released: Jeff Hardy, Kozlow, Paul Birchill, Katie Lea, Funaki, R-Truth, Kevin Thorn, D-Lo Brown, Bob Holly, and Charlie Haas Christian will return to WWE and be on the Smackdown roster A main event WWE star will suffer a career-ending injury Ted DiBiase will be the break-out major star of the second-generation guys Joey Styles will be made figure-head GM of one WWE's "brands" Triple H will turn heel Undertaker VS Shawn Michaels or Triple H will be a main event at Wrestlemania Ezekiel Jackson will turn face and split from Kendrick, then get an upper mid-card push John Morrison and the Miz will split, with Morrison becoming a main eventer as a face by the end of the year. 2 Divas will be in Playboy, possibly Maria with Michelle McCool

Grading myself on last year's predictions (in bold):

I don't know, I never heard anything about an incident between Striker and Benoit. The only hazing incidents I've heard about involving Benoit were the way he, JBL, and Taker supposedly harrassed the Dicks ("Tank" Toland and Chad Wicks) to the point that they fought each other and got fired. And of course the time he made Davari do Hindu squats until he was pissing blood for several days.

I'm pretty sure Acclaim (well, whoever bought them out) owns the rights to the NBA Jam franchise after Tournament Edition. That's why Midway re-named their NBA games to what eventually became NBA Ballers. I'm betting the MK series ends up being bought out by either EA or Activision.

I like it, but I also liked MK DA and Deception (and I thought Armageddon was very mediocre). The only problem I have with it is the toned down gore and the absence of unlockable hidden content like alternate costumes, which was a strong point of the previous gen's MK games.

Aunt Bee on the Andy Griffith show.

WWE magazine had just started a new segment highlighting Palumbo's bike-building, where they were supposed to feature a different superstar's bike he designed every month (such as Rey and Chavo's).

I'm disappointed Obama won, but with American Idol as the #1 show in the country, its not a shock that so many people would fall for his empty promises of change without looking into his record as senator, or the fact that David Axelrod came up with Obama's whole gimmick (and thats just what it is). I'm not going to rant, but aside from his "Hussein" rhetoric, this guy pretty much sums up alot of my feelings about the outcome of this election (turn down your volume): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wa2Zl4Utndg

I saw that too, I was prepared to hate the movie (I'm a Kevin Smith fan, but I hate all the other films I've seen Rogen in except Superbad) but it looks like it might be pretty funny. One thing that struck me about the Leno interview was how much weight Kevin Smith has gained. I mean he was always a big guy, but it looks like he's gained atleast 100 lbs since Clerks 2. That can't be very healthy...

None of those guys were around for TAKA's reign. And Vince was never really behind the Light Heavyweight Division anyways. I'm amazed that the belt was around until 2001. And that they kept the Cruiserweight Championship until last year. Actually, I'm pretty sure all of those guys came in for atleast 1 or 2 matches (more in the case of Sasuke) when they were re-establishing the Light Heavyweight title in early-mid 1997.

I liked the documentary, but I was diappointed in how they skipped over Hennig's comeback as a babyface in 1992 teaming with Savage at the Survivor Series. And they also pretty much skipped over everything else from when he managed Flair in 1992 until 1996 when he managed Triple H.

The Canadian Destroyer is in the game through Create A Finisher mode, here's a video showing it: http://gamingring.com/news/?p=3036

Yeah, that could be it. She should just start wearing the skirts again.

Yes. Wrestlers have always been truthful about their habits. No, but for Christ's sake, there are some things that I wouldn't bother disputing. Like, for instance, a performer who has been able to back up a claim that nobody has even bothered to refute for over a decade. I really don't care, but why does it bother you so much that someone would suggest its just a gimmick? At the end of the day does it really matter? Does it make him any less of a worker? You care enough to ask. And this is a discussion forum, so instead of being bothered, perhaps I'm interested in the discussion in and of itself. It does matter, because he is accentuating a personal strength, which tends to lead the performer in a successful direction. I just find it fascinating that people still take wrestlers at their word so strongly. I mean, I have no reason to believe CM Punk isn't drug free, but at the same time I don't know the man so I can't say its not just a gimmick. And if he really lives that lifestyle, thats a very good thing, but it wouldn't change my opinion of his work one way or the other.

No. The guy is straight edge. What kind of test would he fail? They're selling Orton's Concussion Kick of Death. The thought crossed my mind after reading about the PPV, but after tonight I don't really think so. But it wouldn't surprise me because I think the straight edge thing is just a gimmick.
