What known facts are these, exactly? I personally am creationist, and am interested in what facts there are that concretely support evolution.

Don't worry man, I'll still be here holdin' down the Class of March '03 when you get back.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I highly doubt your faith will throw the whole board into disarray.

Eww. Here's to hoping Ki/Styles is nothing like the first time the went one-on-one in TNA (week five's crapfest)

I have a question. I'm, uh, a bit young to be using credit cards, are there enough credit cardless offers to make this worth my while?

Name: Mike Van Siclen Acceptable Nicknames: The Spectacle, Hollywood Height: 6’4” Weight: 241 Hometown: Harrison, Illinois Age: 25 Face/Heel: Full-on cocky prick heel, who has a nasty mean streak. Stable: None. Tag Team: Hollywood Boulevard (with Todd Cortez) Ring Escort: None. Weapon: Use what yo mama gave you. Quote: “That’s what I said!” Looks: Blue eyes and long blonde hair, often loosely tied back. Walks backstage in a dress shirt and dress pants, occasionally wearing the black bowler that was first introduced in the Casino Brawl match.. In the ring, wears black wristbands and long black tights, with the maroon letters "MVS" interlocking on the side. Feel free to mix-and-match colors there -- I've had pure white tights with a silver MVS stencil before, so feel free to mix-and-match. Ring Entrance: "I’m head of the class… I’m popular…” “Popular” by Nada Surf kicks up, as gold pyro begins to fountain up on the top of the entrance ramp and Mike Van Siclen leaps out from behind the curtain, walking down the ramp with a slick smile on his face. He mockingly points to some fans before sliding into the ring, nodding at the crowd like, “Yeah, I’m the best,” and waiting for his opponent to come out. Tag Entrance: ”This Is Your Life” by Switchfoot hits the speakers, and Mike Van Siclen leaps out from behind the curtain, raising one arm to the crowd and nodding with far too much swagger as he begins walking down the ramp. Behind him steps the Urban Legend, Todd Cortez, crossing his arms in front of his face as he walks down the ramp. *Funyon* Cortez lifts his cross, kissing it, before sliding into the ring alongside Van Siclen. The two men go through their prematch poses, Van Siclen significantly more cocky than Cortez as the two wait for their opponent. Stats: Strength: 4 Speed: 4 Vitality: 7 Charisma: 5 Style: Van Siclen has enough strength and speed to survive the first few minutes, but beyond that he'll rely on his ring generalism to get by. Game Plan: While he has gotten more focused, Mike still targets the neck with the majority of his offence, trying to set up the Riot Act to set up the Cardinal Sin Clutch or just get the pin. Mike has excellent balance and poise in the ring... he's a somewhat boring worker, but everything he does is done very fluidly. This can be disrupted if the opponent targets the legs (see: Fugue/MVS, Mak/MVS, Tom/MVS). As another note, Van Siclen simply can not hold most people in the air for extended periods of time. This is why, if you'll notice, most of his lifts are very brief -- the Snap Suplex, the German, even the Van Slaminator can be done very swiftly. However, if you're of a weight that Van Siclen can hold you in the air for a long time, well, he will, and he'll grin cockily doing so. Signature Moves: - Van Slaminator (A back-to-belly piledriver, set up countless ways. Is potent enough to put you down for the three, but usually isn't used as such. The equivalent of a Stunner -- Mike can literally pull this out from anywhere.) - Crossface Black (Get the opponent into a standing crossface, then fall back Edge-o-Matic style, with the opponent's head landing on Van Siclen's knee. Often set up very slowly, and very cockily.) - The Answer (Twisting Body Splash in the corner, with a little forearm to the face for insulting emphasis. It’s a Stinger splash, only with a 360º spin proceeding it. Formerly Wildchild’s “Blue Crush”, lifted by Van Siclen as a way of reminding people of what happened to the Caribbean.) - Code Red (Van Siclen gets his opponent into DDT position, only instead of DDTing them, comes around like the Eye of the Hurricane or the Final Cut and grabs his opponent by the hair, forcing their face into the mat. Can be done off a ladder or onto a chair as an alternate finisher.) - Superkick (If the opponent telegraphs a clothesline/lariat, Van Siclen will roll underneath it, and when the opponent turns around, Van Siclen catches them with a Superkick. This will be the ONLY time Van Siclen uses a superkick.) - Guillotine Leg Drop - Moonsault Common Moves: - Sitout Jawbreaker -> - Double Leg Wishbone -> These two moves often occur consecutively and somewhat out of nowhere, if Mike makes a key reversal at a point in the match. - Rectal Stretch (Opponent on back, Van Siclen puts foot between legs and pulls on their legs. Feel free to bridge the DLW into this, and it can be built to with nutshot psychology. All that I ask is that I don't bite anyone's nuts.) - Swinging Neckbreaker - Two-Handed Facebuster - Drop Toe Hold (Van Siclen adores this move, and it is his most common Irish Whip counter) - Jericho's Springboard Dropkick to the Outside - Backdrop - Snap Suplex - German Suplex (release or bridged… he never does the rolling Germans) - Powerslam (quick and dirty) - Spinning Wheelkick Striking Notes: - Van Siclen adores the bitchslap. - Aside from the superkick, Van Siclen doesn't have a real strong kick. - Forearms and bitchslaps are most commonly used, although on occasion he'll pull out a closed-fist punch. - Never ever EVER have him do knife-edged chops. Those things fucking suck. Rare Moves: - Van Siclen’s Gambit (or just ‘the Gambit’) (450* Frog Splash, used as a rare finisher in a high-profile match. Given the nature of Van Siclen's offence, he'll signal for this move by putting his hands in the shape of a gun and pressing it to his temple.) - Sin Aerial (Corkscrew 450* Legdrop. Like the Gambit, Van Siclen will signal for this with a crucifix pose on the top rope.) - Super Riot Act (Styles Clash '03 from the second rope. No amount of writing skill will permit you to kick out of this, so don't use it unless you're jobbing.) Finishers: - Riot Act (Van Siclen puts the opponent into a standing headscissors, grabbing them around the waist and hoisting them up so that the opponent is dangling, with his head around Van Siclen's knees. Van Siclen proceeds to jump slightly, landing on his knees and driving his opponent headfirst into the mat. This is commonly referred to as the "Styles Clash '03" by NWA-TNA fans, and there's a vid of it floating around the 'net. Unless you write it DAMN good, you will not be kicking out of this.) - Cardinal Sin Clutch (Gokuraku Clutch, a Crossface from the Camel Clutch position. Tap to this sumbitch.) Tag Finisher: "That Special Place" Van Siclen lifts the opponent onto his shoulders for an electric chair drop, and Cortez gets in front of him, catching him as Van Siclen throws him down with a stunner. Stunner/Electric Chair Drop combo for those of you not wanting my obese description. “Varsity Blues” Sitout jawbreaker from Van Siclen, and as he sits out Cortez superkicks the opponent in the jaw right over Van Siclen’s head.

King, might I ask who's commentating?

I'll second TBS here. I was going to comment on your match earlier, Danno, but computer time nixed that idea. I did, however, notice a lot of subtle things that flowed really nicely in the context of the match, but I couldn't really be sure where you were going with it. In some respects, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusions about that is great - however, there were some occasions (although I can't remember them off the top of my head) where I would've loved for you to just shove in my face where you were going with it. Just my two cents.

Pull the trigger, Z. I'm all too willing to give the young up-and-comer Apostle the rub in the Calvinball match.

If it gets me in the Calvinball match, I'm all for it.

... I want in the Calvinball match.

"The Sinner" John Duran vs. Xcalibur vs. Dante Crane - Xcalibur is probably rusty at writing matches and Crane is probably more focused on retiring, so... SURVEY SAYS: "The Sinner" John Duran! "Judge Mental" William Hearford vs. Nathaniel Kibagami vs. "The King of Nightmares" Michael Craven vs. "The Sacred One" Andrew Blackwell - I told Judge a couple of weeks ago that I thought he'd get an ICTV contendership match at Ground Zero - and lo, I was correct. It seems to be a habit of throwing out battle royals for ICTV contendership on pay-per-view, so I'm tres not surprised there's one here. Alas, with so much talent there can only be one winner. SURVEY SAYS: "The King of Nightmares" Michael Craven! "Deathwish" Danny Williams vs. "TNT" Taylor Nicholas Thompson - As many before have said, American Juniors winner Taylor Thompson may or may not be active enough on the computer to write this match in the form it needs to be written in to defeat "Deathwish" Danny Williams. As such... SURVEY SAYS: "Deathwish" Danny Williams! Ejiro Fasaki vs. Wildchild - I'm thinking they stretch this feud out a while longer, so with that said... SURVEY SAYS: Ejiro Fasaki! The Unholy Trinity (Dace Night and Va'aiga) vs. International Incident (CIA and "The Franchise" Mak Francis) vs. Double Jeopardy (Quiz and Charlie "The Show" Matthews) - I don't pick my own matches. SURVEY SAYS: Number one answer! Sean Atlas vs. Beezel - Normally I'd say Beezel here, because I like his style of writing better. However, this is Mask vs. Mask, and I honestly don't believe anything important would come of Atlas losing the mask, as he's been in the JL as masked Sean Atlas and it's highly unlikely that he's someone from SWF past. So, to make sure that there's a decent payoff... SURVEY SAYS: Sean Atlas! Janus vs. Crowe - Oooh, this one's a toughie. However, I will stick by what I've always told y'all... SURVEY SAYS: Crow! "The Superior One" Tom Flesher vs. Frost - I'm going astray from the gambling thread and hoping Frost is as inspired as he claims to be. SURVEY SAYS: Frost! THE BOSTON STRANGLER VS. THOTH - Ick. Tough match to call, but I'm thinking that someone is going to avenge their loss in a similar match last year. SURVEY SAYS: The Boston Strangler!
