Granted, you couldn't just put HHH's push on anyone and expect the same results. But I'll wager for every guy who wouldn't get as over, there'd be one who could get just as, if not more, over. The point I was trying to make is simply that HHH's heat is not bulletproof. My problem is HOW they build these stars. Brock and Orton were GOING to be WWE Champions, no ifs, ands, or buts, before they ever appeared on TV. It seems to me that the fed decides who they want to wear the belt, then they make the fans accept them as champion. That's the exact opposite of how it should work. Besides, I don't think it's fair to compare the period that saw the rise of Stone Cold, the Rock, Mick Foley, HHH and probably some others I can't recall right now to the period that gave rise to Brock (who quit, so it's kind of irrelevant) Angle and Orton. Of course, that's partially because it's kinda early to tell how well these characters will do in the long run (if Orton somehow becomes a mammoth draw, I'll take back this statement), but still.

You know, I had heard that term, but always assumed it just just like, a slang name.
-
The important question is though...would he have that heat if he wasn't booked to go over everyone, all the time? I mean, *I* could get heat if I got to beat everyone, had my own World Title handed to me, and had one of the greatest wrestlers ever constantly give me verbal blowjobs.

But sun is the name of the sun. All others are just stars.

That's exactly how I see RAW. I can't force myself to care about ANYTHING on the program, because I know that when any angle ends, it'll end with HHH on top. Hell, Benoit is one of my favourite wrestlers, and I literally didn't give two shits about his title reign, because I was positive he was just going to job it to HHH in a month. And yeah, I may not have been exactly right, but it was HHH winning the title while Benoit was wrestling in the opening match a few months later. I think I was close enough.
-
As much as it pains me to say this, I think that 30 years down the road, HHH will be the company line "best wrestler in history". Why? Well, there's his massive number of title reigns (which is growing still), the fact that they've already tried to call his feud with HBK the best in history, and the fact that he will be calling shots in the fed until the day he dies. I dunno how fans will remember him (I'll try not to, myself), but I think he will be the WWE's offical Best Wrestler Ever.

You know, I actually always did wonder why the Moon didn't have a name. Same thing with God. I mean, other religons have names for their gods, we just have God. It's like people were just too tired to think of anything else.

Have You Ever Gotten Tired of It All?

He was trying to make a substitue for rubber, actually. -
While we're on the subject... Austin calmy stepping out from inside the fridge, and downing a carton of milk before whooping Booker some more. And even though it's kinda off-topic..."Price check on a jackass!"

I thought that Lutherans didn't believe that the wafer actually physically becomes the body of Christ (As Catholics do) but did it only as a symbollic gesture. Am I getting my religons mixed up?

Juggernaught-Style, bitches. 1. Unchartable strength. 2. Incredibly advanced healing factor. 3. The ability to keep moving forward, no matter WHAT is in the way.

If that Kitty Litter wasn't in a bag, that's why they checked. Anytime an item comes through that's too big to fit in a bag, they're supposed to check the recipt.

Because some important people almost lost a LOT of money. There's a whole conspiracy theory on the issue, but this probably isn't the place for it. Do some searching on William Randolph Hearst and his connection to it - shouldn't be too hard to find.

Don't some branches of Christianity believe in Limbo? I've heard it described as the place for people too good for Hell, yet too bad for Heaven; the difference being, though, that you can get "paroled" from Limbo and eventually sent to Heaven.

Wait... So some construction workers saw an ELEVEN YEAR OLD KID driving a car around, and when he ran out of gas, they actually HELPED him, as opposed to, oh, I dunno, calling the cops or something?

Star Wars Trilogy DVD Set
The Metal Maniac replied to WrestlingFan4Ever's topic in Television & Film
That just got me thinking...it's been ages since I saw the Phantom Menace, but don't they say during that film that Anakin was a virgin birth, or something? Like, the power of the Force just MADE his mother pregnant, or something? I could be wrong, so someone tell me what's right. -
No. He died from something stupid the judicial system did - not anything HE did. For the record, I suppose it's also possible he was using a vaporizer on his weed, (which'd make sense to me, since it's supposed to be like, smoke-free that way or something) but like others have mentioned, that really shouldn't matter. The fact of the matter is, he was sent to a jail that couldn't keep him alive, and died as a result. That's SOMEONE'S fault, but not the cripples'.
-
I dunno man...I think the "I think I saw something move, let's shoot at this part of the jungle for the next FIVE MINUTES" bit takes that prize. I mean, that was solid gold. One guy panics, and the next thing you know, half the trees are cut down, 16 species are extinct, and they RE-LOAD.
-
He was still alive when he was smoking pot. I think there's just a *slight* difference between "infinite" resources, and the basic requirements needed to keep a person alive. If the prison could not keep him alive, he should not have been there. Of course, that's not to say that he should not have been charged - merely that if they were going to put a paralyzed person behind bars, they should have done it in a place which had the proper equipment to allow the man to BREATHE.
-
I don't care what the fuck he's in prison for. You can't just lock up cripples and deny them the things they need to, you know, LIVE.

The IC belt, mostly because it's not the great IC belt that was around in the days of Razor Ramone.

I was sure that ladder broke in some way.

They'll probably just be things - but they'll be things that people earned. After all, why bother to be a nice person if your only reward is gonna be a hole in the ground? Better to be an ass and enjoy life.
-
As lame as this is gonna sound, if there was no suffering, we'd already be in Heaven. I think that's part of the reason that bad things happen - without bad things, we couldn't appreciate good things, because then they'd just be things.

1 11 21 1211 111221 312211 13112221 11111111, maybe? And because I think it sounds better then the version asked: This thing all things devours Birds, beasts, trees flowers Gnaws iron, bites steel Grinds hard stones to meal Slays king, ruins town And beats high mountain down.
