  1. How could they not have Jon Lovitz on commentary?!? I may have to reconsider buying this thing...
  2. I felt the same way. Guess that's just a by-product of him going back on the road, training, and gearing up for his in-ring return. Our loss is his gain, I guess.
  3. Hello one and all. Want to start off by saying that next week no Edge-o, however I am working feverishly on having a substitute teacher. I will be taking a little road trip. Actually not so little. I'm driving from Tampa to Toronto. Roughly 21 hours. So if you see a guy who looks me like at some greasy spoon off of I-75, it just may be me. I am attending the Sports Celebrity Festival and Special Olympics telethon broadcast live across Canada. This is my third year doing it, and hanging with the Special Olympians is always a breath of fresh air that really puts what's important in perspective. They have a constant smile on their face and an amazing attitude. We could all learn something from them. Have to comment on what I felt to be one hell of a PPV at the Survivor Series. To me, Shawn Michaels stole the show, and reminded me once again why we call him the Showstopper. Just when you think he may be nearing his end, he pulls out a performance like that. I have to admit I'm jealous of the guys from my era who get to wrestle him. Who knows, maybe one day. Top to bottom, I thought it was a damn good PPV, although Lita scares the hell out of me with the moonsault now. Not exactly being the most nimble man in the world I've only ever attempted one moonsault (quite possibly the ugliest one in history) but my chances of attempting one after the neck surgery are even more slim to none. I forgot how much I missed the classic Survivior Series style match. Given the proper time they can be awesome, as evidenced by the Raw elimination match. To me, there is no sense in calling it the Survivor Series unless you have these type of matches. The PPV was named after this type of match. Here's hoping we'll see more of them next year with cool team names like the classic Rude's Brood. I've been meaning to write something about the forgotten man in matches for quite awhile now, so here it is. Who's the forgotten man you ask? The referee. The Mike Chioda's, Timmy White's, Charles Robinson's, Earl, Dave and Brian Hebner's. I don't know if our audience realizes how important a good referee is to a match. My best matches have always had great referee's. Even before I got to the WWE I always had some fun in there with a couple of guys who were great refs, Frank "the Tank" Parker from Truro, Nova Scotia, and Winnipeg's own Curtis "Bucky" Breslaw (the only referee I've ever met who has a business card, why, I don't know). Timmy White was the referee for my first WWE match, and it's a shame that a severe shoulder injury and surgery has ended his refereeing career. He's one of our road agents now, but I sure miss having ol' Scrappin' Timmy White in the ring with me. Mike Chioda has always been quite possibly my favorite guy to work with. He and Brian Hebner have been there for almost all of my favorites. All of these guys, Jimmy Korderas (fellow Canucklehead), Mike Sparks, Nick Patrick, Chad Patton and Jack Doan all put their bodies on the line out there too. Like I said, without a good referee it can be very hard to have the kind of match you want. So here's a tip of the hat to the forgotten man inside the ring, but not by me, the referee. Here's hoping we have a good replacement next week, but until then, you have been Edgeucated.
  4. Answer: stupid people are everywhere. I second the greatness of the film, although I prefer the book more.
  5. Considering it got the Dallas crowd hyped up again after an abortion of a match (Kane/Shane), I'll say it did more good than bad. For an example, see Pete Rose in Boston at Mania XIV. When it takes a local celebrity to do the job that the bookers and writers are supposed to, that speaks volumes. In my mind, this did nothing but prove that Orton is useless and any attempt to push him will end in complete apathy.
  6. Interesting. In the latest Entertainment Weekly, she loudly exclaims that she's not a role model, and that it's the parents' job to provide an example for their own kids. While I've always agreed with that sentiment regarding the influence of celebrities on children, I call hypocritical bullshit shenanigans on her sorry ass for playing both sides of the fence. You can't have it both ways. Stupid bloated human.
  7. It's also on NOFX's compilation album 45 or 46 Songs That Weren't Good Enough to Go on Our Other Records. Great stuff. Especially the 2-part song "Fun Things to F**k (If You're a Winner)" and "Juice Head", and "Please Stop F**king My Mom".
  8. This is the most intelligent thing I've read in this thread so far. You can like what you like, but don't be stupid about what you're listening to... or more importantly, don't be stupid about what you're not listening to. If I had to narrow the stupidity down to one segment of the population, it would have to be teenagers. The majority seem to have tunnel vision when it comes to what they like and what "sucks", especially in terms of music. This goes hand in hand with the earmark of adolescence:seeking an identity. Paradoxically, finding yourself often involves sacrificing your individuality and glomming onto a particular social sect, which more often than not, has its own "soundtrack". "Can't be a skinhead and listen to Avril Lavigne", or "That Hatebreed stuff is so loud... that guy definitely ain't no Usher" or "Shit, those emo kids are so lame-ass with their weepy rock... hey, the new Creed just came out! Cool!" Guess that's just part and parcel of being young. I know... I've been there. In some ways, I've never left.
  9. Any song off of Fat Wreck Chords' Short Music For Short People. Some choice picks: Misfits - "NY Ranger" Guttermouth - "Don Camero Lost His Mind" Descendents - "I Like Food" Living End - "Ready" Gwar - "Fishfuck"
  10. Damn... ... half that list applied to me 10 years ago, y'know, when it was actually cool... ::punches everyone in sight, then goes home and cries while listening to a Big Drill Car 7-inch::
  11. Owen Hart or Dynamite Kid Definitely Owen Hart. But that's just me.
  12. That line kills me every time. I'm tearing up right now just imagining it. Is it just me, or is that lazy eye of his frightening?
  13. Nothing wrong with that, Lords of Acid are gods. By the way, if you like Lords of Acid, try listening to Peaches. I'm glad I don't have to feel like some kind of queer saying I like the Lords. How could you not like Lords of Acid? Especially with lyrics like: Darling come here Fuck me up the... and I wanna sit on your face
  14. Jim Rome talked about this on his radio show. He called Slater out for "getting rolled" by a girl, and he likened him to other abused hubbies like Liza Minelli's ex-beau, Lionel Richie, and... get this... Phil Hartman. Now, I know he says a lot of shit just to get a rise out of people. But spousal abuse is a far cry from cold-blooded murder. That's just crazy talk. Yeah, I know, what else can you expect from the guy?
  15. BOR-ing. She looks like a 15-year-old hamming it up for a video camera. Jumping in and out of frame and such. And it's not like you can see all that much, what with the whole "Blair Witch" quality of the night-vision. Plus she didn't look too well-versed in the art of fellatio. Next.
  16. I'm pretty sure Nidia had implants already. From what I understand, she used to be an exotic dancer/stripper/whatever before she did Tough Enough. I can't confirm it, but I think I read about it a while ago.
  17. I agree. Think of the recent crop of has-been actresses that have "popped up" in Playboy: Tia Carrere, Kristy Swanson, Daryl Hannah, Shannen Doherty. Too little, too late. And feh on Britney Spears. Everything that comes out of her mouth is useless to me.
  18. Hanson. Seriously. I think I trumped all of you. Even all you Top 40 listeners out there. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. (P.S. Nothing wrong with being a Depeche Mode fan. '80s New Wave and Brit Pop paved the way for all the kick ass music of the early- to mid-'90s.
  19. My friend worked at the Fountains of Wayne before he joined the Army and got stationed in Germany. That's all I got. Oh yeah, the song's catchy, but nothing I'd invest time or money into.
  20. KOTH Season Two? I'm so there. BJ's Wholesale, here I come!
  21. Funny, I wasn't exactly looking at the guys. Seriously, I thought it was a fun little snapshot of the disco era, and I especially enjoyed Chloe Sevigny. I've been a big fan of hers since Trees Lounge and Boys Don't Cry, and of course, Kids.
  22. 1. Definitely the 1984 commercial. And not because I'm a confirmed MacAddict for life... actually, that is the reason. 2. The Joe Isuzu commercials. Classic. 3. The aforementioned "I learned it by watching you". An old friend of mine even put that line into a song. 4. This one Molson commercial (I think) where they show a hockey player undressing after a game. You see the skates and the pads come off, and then you see this hairy pair of legs... only to have the camera pan up to reveal that it's a female hockey player. Good stuff. 5. Speaking of all things Canadian, "My name is Joe... and I am a Canadian." Too bad it never ran in the States. As for the Honda Accord "Cog" commercial, it actually took 606 takes to get it right. It was all done without CGI. Amazing.
  23. That's what I was thinking. Too bad that this Guerrero feud will completely overshadow the guys with the belts. Or not, depending on how you feel about the Bashams as champs.
  24. Kinda like today's wrestling storylines…
  25. Hey, haven't you been paying attention to all those public service announcements? Save it for when you're married. Take it from me... when the time comes, that's all your gonna get.
