    Having not looked at 24/7 at all in the past two weeks, is this the same episode where Dreamer fights Taz? I have that original airing on a tape somewhere and I remember thinking that ECW could have been onto something with Spicolli. He was pretty over as a midcard face for a while there.

    That's an understatement Zack, Louie was insanely over at the bingo hall in the most recent episode. The pops he got caught me off-guard as I had forgetten how over he got in such a small time, due mainly to in-ring talent and natural charisma alone. Time nakes you forget he was the man to popularize the death valley driver. The fans ate up everything he did in that match vs Storm.

     

    Joey joking with Taz about his hatred of Devon Storm was hilarious.

    It kinda starts to sting when we are burying people who debuted in the Attitude era (Crash was another one). I wish this would just stop already. Add another one to the list of guys I have seen live dead. Well actually I didn't see him wrestle, I was there the night he joined the Alliance in LA.

     

    I guess Mick Foley will have to find someone else to make fun of in future books.

     

    Seriously though, this is sad.

     

    Condolences and prayers to his family. RIP Big Man.

    Chalk up another vote for the awesomeness that is The Replacements. I can watch that movie hundreds of times and it never gets old.

    Me too, anytime I come across it on tv, I'll stop and watch it if nothing else is on.

     

    Line of the movie

     

    John Madden: "He appears to be necking with that cheerleader!"

    I'm still baffled by my Circuit City's liquidation sales. People were happily paying full price for open box and display tvs. We were out of all tvs by last Thursday and we closed Sunday. Hell they wre buying in droves the first week, when Tvs were "10 percent off" (really 10 percent of the MSRP, which is higher than our regular prices were of course) The liquidators must have made a killing on this closeout. Considering the all sales final thing, pretty funny to watch. Of course most of them didn't give a crap about me losing my job, so I'm not exactly losing sleep over their problems. :lol:

    Faces cheating getting praise goes back to the McMahon/Ventura dynamic.

    Or my favorite example Summerslam 89 with Ventura and Schiavone. During Rude/Warrior, Warrior hits Rude with the IC belt outside the ring. Jesse rightfully goes nuts that Warrior is not dq'd for that. Tony's answer is that it happened outside the ring. Jesse goes off on Tony, saying (not exact quote) "So you mean if you shot someone, as long as it's outside the ring, it's legal?"

     

    Why is it that whenever some outside person jumps on the apron or comes to ringside, the enemy of that person immediately stops what he is doing and pays attention to them, causing them to either lose the match or the advantage. This works with both heels and faces (last night's Jericho/Kofi match for example). Faces are really prone to this. Also to add to that, why does the ref sometimes seem concerned by stuff happening outside the ring, instead of paying attention to the guys inside. Like a tag match when two guys are fighting on the floor, ref goes outside to stop it, misses face's pin attempt, or heel cheats or has someone interfere. You'd think the ref would stop falling for that.

    Just saw the new Wrestlemania speical WWE magazine at the local store. No I didn't buy it, as I am now unemployed. But I did notice when they showed the results for all the manias, any match Benoit was in was either not mentioned, or vaguely described, like WM 20 now shows, "Triple H lost the World Championship". Wm 17, his match vs Angle is not mentioned at all. Not that I am shocked or anything, but still funny to read.

    Superbrawl 3 last aired on 24/7 just prior to the Benoit incident in the late spring of 07. A quick check of my burned dvd confirms it was June 2007's pick your big one winner. There you go. Thankfully I had recorded it then with the Scorpio match on it, as on 24/7 it didn't remove Ventura's commentary like on Benoit's dvd.

     

    So yea it came on 24/7 2 weeks prior to the Benoit murders.

    He would probably say it's not his fault. It's been said before, but when he's assigned to do commentary and he just comments on what he sees and tries to insert some humour, he's great. A great example of this was the "Showdown at Shea" commentary he did with Foley for WWE 24/7. His commentary with Tazz on the 2002 "Global Warning" DVD from Australia is pretty good too.

    Yea, Cole was awesome on the Shea show. Comments like " as Burl Ives looks on at ringside" and my favorite, during the Andre/Hulk match "As the men in leasure suits look concerned " Cole is truly limited by Psycho Vince on the headset.

    Is anyone watching this besides me? How come it sounded like Katie Lea had a new song and now the same one she's been using with Paul is playing?

    You're right it did, unless when they cut to her in the ring, the song got to a part we haven't heard before. Anyhow the match was indeed better than the Paul/DJ match. Henry has pretty much lost his aura with multiple losses to small guys like Hardy and Finlay. Send him to Smackdown full time and maybe try a face turn? Or reunite him and DLO.

     

    Swagger does need a finisher name, "JACKHAMMER" would be good if not for the existance of Goldberg.

    I PLEDGE ALLIGIENCE TO THE NATION OF DOMINATION. ONE NATION, UNDER FAROOQ, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR NO ONE!!

     

    Back to topic, I agree with what you're saying, Vince always seems to stick with a formula well past its time, driving it into the ground, over and over again, like he has with the attitude formula for the past decade. I don't know what would turn the tide now, but I doubt going back to the "cartoon era" will do it.

    I know 22 isn't that big but it's for my bedroom, plus I don't have that much cash right now. I was saying it was a deal to me as I have seen smaller 720p TVs at similar or higher prices so I jumped on it. All I know is it sure beats the tube set I was previously using to play my PS3 on ;) For now, it fit my budget and finally updated me to 2009 in at least a small way.

    You're trying to save money and you bought a MONSTER surge protector?

    Buying anything by Monster is the tech equivalent of lighting your cigars with 100 dollar bills.

    Only cuz I needed to get rid of the interference I was getting. Plus I got it at work with my employee dfiscount. Yea it was a neccessary evil I suppose , however I usually don't go for the Monster products.You don't have to tell me about stores pushing Monster products, I know all about it. Customers actually fall for it too,that's the sad part All in all ,it got rid of my problem so that's what matters. I just won't be buying any toys for awhile :P

    That show was kind of good actually, the Shawn-JBL stuff was furthered well . Damn I was just thinking earlier how weird is it that we have had no Vince for 6 months, yay more McMahon family feuding! Also have to note the dude sitting next to Beth's fan with a "Rosa Mendez's Fan" sign held up during her appearance. I think I saw her notice it, she probably had a laugh at that. So now we get the IC rematch, Kane vs Orton, and Shawn vs Cena next week, should be fun.

    Well, hating a guy who keeps beating wrestlers that are a part of your group isn't a "nonsense BS" reason for a feud, Jericholic.

    Ok, maybe it's not, but I was pointing out that they had to come up with silly reasons for the feud to continue. I understand one guy stealing the urn, but you immediately do it again in the blowoff match? That's kind of a stretch. I suppose the kayfabe reason is Dibiase figured it would weaken Taker, but then he beat Bundy without posssesion of the urn, so you figured Dibiase would call it a night and leave Taker alone.

    LOL poor Dixie. She was in a no win situation with that question. Now she knows what I felt at Lockdown 08 when she jokingly told me to stop texting and watch the show as she made rounds in the aisles thanking all of us for coming . I didn't realize who was talking to me and ignored her handshake attempt, then clumsily apologized when I recognized her.

     

    So TNA's Target auidence was Nathaniel from Wrestlecrap Radio? Too bad the new Trolla Tron killed him.

     

    Come on there has to be one of the 12 listeners posting here along with me.

    I.R.S. vs. The Undertaker

    I still don't remember what the Taker vs. Million Dollar Corporation feud was about.

    Well Dibiase was still mad at Taker for beating his imposter. At Survivor Series 94 IRS interefered in the Taker/Yokozuna match , then spent weeks insulting dead tax cheats or some nonsense. At the Rumble King Kong Bundy stole the Urn, leading to the WM 11 match vs Taker, where Kama ran off with the urn and had it melted into a chain. Once Taker beat him, at Sumnerslam 95, the feud was over.

     

    So to summarize , a whole bunch of nonsense BS was the cause of the feud.

    So, how did everyone celebrate the 10th annivesary of "The Fingerpoke of Doom"? Sorry to go off topic there, but it had to be acknowledged . Of course Foley's WWF title win aired opposite it. Anyhow, I am thinking that WWE will surprise us with the Rumble this year. Afterall, the winner could lose his shot before Mania, so why not give a rub to someone else for a change? I know,I know I must have gotten into Kendrick's stash for thinking that.

    I found a 22 in VIZIO LCD 1080P at Costco yesterday for only $299, plus it came w/ a HDMI cable in the box. Yknow I grabbed it as I have seen 720Ps for more money that and smaller screens. I'ts awesome, but my problem is my SD cable box gets bars and a hum when I connect via S-Video or RCA, but not RF strangely. Now of course I'm gonna get an HD box and connect via HDMI but I hope it doesn't have the same problem. It's not the cables as I have Monster SVIDEO and audio set, plus every one of my old devices work fine via the svideo port. The TV dept manager at my job said it might be a ground loop prob , but to try the HD box first. I think it's the cable connection myself as the interference stops if I unscrew the coaxial cable from the digital cable box.

    Any ideas what to do?
