The Moss deal is complete:

So where's Banky been?

It's totally safe to view at work. Just use discresion about checking out the threads. You never know when a naked Eric Embry pic might be shown.

Oh yeah, another story was how the Road Warriors were apparently huge in the pants and defied all steroid after-effect logic by *not* having small wangs or being impotent. They were also pretty nice guys for roid freaks. Scott Steiner and Rick were the complete opposites. The RockN'Roll Express also had no shame on the road. I'd figure not if Ricky fuckin Morton is riding shotgun in the car trip.

Someone can take the time to scan through Slapnuts link if they want. I'm not sure if the original webmaster is still running the site. She was a thick one but not overweight or fat. I think she had red or blonde hair.

I'm sure there are folks on this site with better google skills than me. The site was just completely outrageous to read. The DVDVR Sleeze thread from a couple months back did not have *anything* on this site. Except for maybe the Killer Brooks glass eye story. That or anything involving Jimmy Valiant.

I think a lot of the Lita is slut stories came from the old Ring Rats message board that use to be (or still is) around on the net about 4 - 5 years ago. That was the infamous site where the webmaster was some supposed ring rat that had been sleeping with the boys going back all the way back to the 80's, circa JCP. SKeith mentioned the site in one of his recaps and the DVDVR board guys invaded it too. The site got major pub around the wrestling groups in late '00. If you believe it, the whole OMEGA locker room were into bisexual gang bangs. With eachother. One story had Lita getting worked on in a Bukkake circle with all the OMEGA guys unloading on her and then watching her lick up any "loose" spunk from the boys. Another one brought up how Lita masturbated during an interview and then fucked Shane Helms during or after it was finished. There was a picture of Helms (or Matt) wearing only a gold belt around his waist. The picture was taken a couple minutes before Matt, Shane, and Lita had a threesome in the middle of the locker room. Another story, not too surprising, brought up how Jeff Hardy was more into messing around with the guys in OMEGA than the rats that showed up. But Jeff would get on some female rat every now and then if there were multiple partners involved. Him and Shannon Moore were apparently very "tight" together after shows. Lita had no shame is what the stories boiled down to. I remember these because I honestly couldn't make this kind of shit up if I tried. Some of these stories were just downright kinky. None of the rats on the site liked Lita and mentioned how she was very territorial with the OMEGA guys and was an unber bitch to any girl who was caught eyeing them. Think back to the RAW where she dissed Kanyon for having a speech impediment. That was what Lita was like in a nutshell 24/7 if you believed the rats' stories. One notable moment from the site was when someone, supposedly one of Raven's girlfriends, reamed out the site and the rats for their undying fixation with her man. But she or he also slagged Sting, Lex Luger, and Buff Bagwell for their infidelity to their (former) wives by bringing up how Luger was impotent, Buff was a chubby chaser and that Sting was into S&M domination. It was like reading one of the seediest articles from the Torch or the Observer (the former really) on a continual basis. The site moved or shut down a couple months after the Raven girl meltdown along with the webmaster wanting to "protect" the other boys she didn't want to rat on. What a humanitarian. I had heard that the site made a comeback about 2 or 3 years ago but I never saw the new board for myself. Those hos were completely obsessed with Test and had some twisted fantasies about him. If you also believed the site, Terry Taylor was a walking STD pharmacy who didn't bathe; the Great Muta liked fucking rats with his face paint on and...don't touch motel TV remotes if the Dudley Boyz were in the room earlier. The less said the better. That site was a sleeze goldmine.

The Weather couple wouldn't have a chance here. I covered this as a one on one deal without any preparation from either side. As a team, the X-Men could maul Iron Man. I'm sure Sage could come up with some sort of team game plan that would dismantle a lot of IM's offense. Rogue doesn't have a long range attack, even though she can fly, which would not really help her much against a flying weapons cache like Iron Man. She wouldn't be problem. Iron Man would not have much to worry about from Iceman or Storm either. His armor's insulation systems are more refined than they were when he fought guys like Blizzard and the Meltzer, who used the same technique mentioned above. He's got experience against freezer folks going all the way back to when Jack Frost showed up in Tales of Suspense #44 (who later became the 1st Blizzard). Havok is someone I forgot about. I'd have to think about how this fight would go. Last time I checked, Tony Stark wasn't related to the Summers family so IM could be in for some trouble here. Havok's got the goods to contain Shell-head here if he works at it.

The WWE is nowhere close to tanking and closing down it's doors. But these things could hurt: 1. Vince dies. 2. They lose all TV deals 3. HHH dies. 4. Linda loses company in hostile takeover. 5. Linda dies. Yet, funny enough, the WWE would still have a shot at survival if all these things did happen. This one would kill them off for sure though: The McMahon kids take over. Assuming Vince, Linda and HHH croaks, which is very possible, Shane and Stephanie taking on and sharing ownership duties would pretty much be the death kneel for the WWE. The things above would severly hinder the WWE but not kill it off immediately. It would be a slow process, probably around the 5 year range, but the company could survive if handled well. Live events and PPV would still net them a good sized chunk of change along with all the other merch they put out. But if they had no TV outlet then they would be in a *real* bind. Vince was surrounded by guys who believed in him. That's not the case with Skippy or Stephy Bear. No one would help them. The kids would either dig the company into a black hole or else they'd be ousted themselves and dropped into a pit. None of the old-timers respect the kids and none of the wrestlers like them, sans HHH and maybe a couple others. Steph's booking reign of terror over the past 4 years has probably done more harm within the company because of how it is one of the *worst* examples of nepotism in wrestling since Verne and Greg Gagne's days in the AWA. The results of her booking tenure have been disappointing to say the least. Paying dues...it's not just an excuse for ME guys to derail hot undercard guys with BS politics.

Helms is the one with the past OMEGA connections. He's also a favorite of Brian Gewritz too. The guy has clout. Otherwise, Patterson and Heyman would have gotten to axe the Hurricane character a long time ago. They never cared for it (or Gewritz).

The Raiders could have another deal in the works. Charles Woodson got franchised after acting like a lazy punk this season. I'm sure there are a couple teams in the market that might be interested in picking up a 6-time Pro Bowler CB that's not yet 30. Anyone looking for some defense?

Kid Miracleman and the Nurse...goddamn, I love that scene.

Dr. Double X needs to make a comeback.

Did I miss anyone crucial from the X-Men?

Batman was *really* bad after about the mid 1950's when the Comics Code went into effect. It wasn't until Julie Schwartz took over the editor reigns in 1966 that Batman stopped fighting space aliens and having multiple costume changes used as a cover gimmick. Once Neal Adams took over drawing Bats, the book had finally reached a darker tone with it's stories than it had 5 years previously.

Shiiiiittt, I can't believe I forgot about Kitty. IM fought the Ghost who could phase in and out of places like the Sprite. But yeah, she'd be the sleeper in this fight for sure. But she'd have to get airborn in order to drop in on IM and drop him. Nightcrawler is an interesting opponent too. I've never seen Nightcrawler's enemy teleportaion trip disrupt an armored adversary like it can do with other folks. I'm not sure if he could do much against Iron Man other than kick and punch. It's all about how he would use his teleportation abilities.

Anyone from the old Rantsylvania board knows my feelings on Superman, post 1950's. DC should *not* have been surprised that Supes does not get looked at in the same sense of respect from fans like Batman or Captain America when there were stories like these *covering* up public paper stands. Cute. Real cute.

The early 90's were a *really* bad stretch for Marvel's "big name" comics. I don't think I'd be very interested in reading FF #294 to #416 since that was when the book was in the absolute gutter from a story telling point. Same deal for the Avengers. Things got *really* bad for this book when Galactic Storm hit around issue #348 and from there the book just continued to plummet badly in the stroyline department. Give it to the Hulk. That *might* be Marvel's best character book ever from a storyline standpoint. I don't think the Hulk had an awful stretch with any of the writers that came on. I mean, Peter David wrote over 100 + issues during the dark days of Marvel and managed to churn out some entertaining books. After issue #425, with the Fall of the Pantheon, things kinda went old Hulk and the books were either hit or miss until David left the book with #467. Yeah, I'd say Marvel should do this for the Hulk next. Not too many cross-overs to deal with and the majority of the 1st Hulk run was really well written.

The team would probably stomp Iron Man's hide but he's taken on the New Warriors, the West Coast Avengers, and has managed to defeat the Death-Squad in any variation it's come in. He wouldn't be helpless if he had to take on all of the X-Men teams. The numbers game would do him in though at some point. I'll play though. Wolverine would be a complete non-factor in this fight unless he could sprout wings and shred IM up in the air with boot thrusters blazing the whole time. Mind you, I'm doing this as a mano y mano deal but all someone would have to do is hoist Wolvie up in the air. He could strike IM from there and it'd be all over unless IM could shake the Canuck off him. Otherwise, IM is just a tomato can waiting for Wolverine to open him up. The armor has multiple repulsor rays in it so Cyclops would be out gunned. Juking and moving around while trying to fire off an Optic blast just wouldn't work against a guy who can fly at mach 5 speeds. One beam < multiple repulsor rays. IM's out gunned many baddies and also has a nifty force field (ala Neo from the Matrix) where all he has to do is stick his hand out and the blast will detonate several feet away from him. Cyke would have no hope here. IM's protected against mind fucking powers and has an environmental system set in his armor (or at least one variation) that would tear someone like Iceman a new igloo door. IM's battled Whirlwind, Blizzard, Firebrand and Vibro so he is battle tested with the weather elements. Storm would get deep sixed along with Iceman. Now, Colossus...he could be difficult. I don't think IM would have anything in his armor arsenal that could take the Russian down from long range. He'd have to get up in his grill. IM's fought guys like the Titanium Man, the Freak, the Crusher, and the Hulk and has managed to beat each one in a knock-down and drag out type style fight at least once. They're about on par with Colossus I'd say. This would be the fight that could rock IM's world since he'd have to use force and take the fight to Colossus. I don't see the Russkie pulling out the W. But that's only if IM doesn't slip up with a punch, which he'd get pummeled for severely. Rogue wouldn't be an issue unless she sneaks up on IM. She will not beat him if they start pounding on one another. Her only hope would be to crack the armor open and pray she can drain some of Tony Stark's life force off. Rogue's goose is cooked here. His armor protects him from getting mind fucked with so White Queen, Psylocke, and Professor X would not be able to do much here. I don't see the White Queen opening up a can of whoop ass on IM in her diamond skin state. Emma would need to look up another nose surgeon here if she tried to take the fight to IM up close. Psylocke's toast. I don't think her legs are made of iron so I don't see her martial arts moves having much effect. Now, if we're talking about Betsy during her short Lady Mandarin days then this fight could lead to a whole new ball game... Xavier is in a wheel chair. One repulsor blast to the dome and the old man is done. Jubilee...please. Gambit and Iron Man could be a *hell* of a fuckin fight. That's only if Gambit could charge up IM's armor. I don't think Gambit's overload power would be able to light up IM's hide and force him to ditch the armor so Gambit would need to tough it out here. So, this fight would be a lot like the Cyclops fight. The cards, staff and whatever else Gambit could throw at IM would be the key towards getting a win here. Throwing the staff at IM and then throwing his deck of cards at IM could distract him long enough for Gambit to throw out something huge from his bag of tricks. But again, Gambit would be an easy target from the air and the multiple repulsor rays would light Remy up at some point. A valiant effort here. Iron Man and Angel fought a *long* time ago, back when the X-Men were sporting the blue and gold mask outfits. Angel lost. But he did manage to almost take IM out after the boot thrusters gave out. Flash forward. Upgraded armor > skin color change. This fight would be the ugliest one out of the bunch unless it was Archangel vs. Iron Man. The wing shards, depending on what material they are, could either make or break Angel's chances here. Unless they could pierce through IM's force fields and hit him where it hurts then I don't see this fight lasting long. This one would probably be the fastest one to wrap up. Jean's dead so I'm going to ignore her here. Phoenix would end the fight without breaking a sweat. Jean Grey vs. Iron Man would end up like the other telepathic fights. No-contest. There are only so many dump trucks or STOP signs that Jean could mentally hurl at IM before he blasts her through one of those and finishes her. The only member on the team that Iron Man would probably have the most trouble with is the Beast. Beast is best at playing to his strengths while figuring out what his enemies weaknesses are. He can get the elevation needed to take IM down if they're fighting in a room or an area with things Beast could climb up. He has the strength and fighting ability to crack open Iron Man's shell. Beast has the best of both worlds, ground and elevation attacks, which could concievably box in IM and keep him planted in one spot. Long-range attacks would toast Beast. But he's a marvel when it comes to defense, such as dodging objects or laser rays, and he could *maybe* hold up the defense long enough for IM to have a mental block on how to take Beast down. That momentary opening would be Beast's only chance towards taking IM out of the air and sticking to him like flies on shit. He could *not* let IM's hands loose since Shell-head could hit him with a sonar wave blast like he's done before to guys like Venom and that would end Beast's rally right there. This would be a hell of a great fight to read over though.

Well, at least Cass is sticking around. Whedon blows. Using "mutant cure" as his first major story was one of the worst ways to start his run off. Just another writer dangling the carrot that-can-never-get-eaten in front of the fans.

Banky's just laying low with another new name that no one knows is him.

HBO should cover the pre-season. They did it for the Cowboys a couple years ago.

Dama, I've gotta give you props for actually raising relevent points about "whitening" or "blackening" up one's image, which is ignorant. You handled yourself...well, better than I've ever seen. Congrats sir, props to you from me. Sorry for the side track folks. Carry on.

I'm excited because if the Raiders bomb on the field, then the off-field shennanigans are surely going to make the news. That's entertainment. You're right though VX, it's like Randy is only switching jersey colors for next season. Except the Vikes had a Top 5 QB who can play ball without a handle of JD before a game. I'm completely intrigued by how Moss will do with the Raiders considering he lost a valuable arm at QB but gained a WR who can ball it up just as well as Randy on his good days. The WR tandem with Moss and Porter should be fun to watch. I like Ronald Curry a lot and I hope he can come back and play after having surgery on a torn achilles. That is *not* easy to recover from.
