    WWE News and Notes

    I love this Japanese Mafia idea, it's the best news I've heard in a VERY long time. Still, why wouldn't they bring in a few guys that would work in a division besides the Crusierweight division? I'd love to see a few heavy's come over to SD.

    The One and Only Smackdown! HCTP Thread

    They haven't posted the update for today yet. I can't wait to see it, I really can't. I just hope that the legends have their real music, and that their move-sets are TRUE TO LIFE!
  4. Just click here to see the official trailer for the upcoming Dawn of the Dead remake. Yes, another fucking remake of a classic film. Before I continue, would someone please shoot me before the remake of Halloween is released? I don't know if I can stand to see THAT one be destroyed. I also want to say that I'll be going to watch this film on opening weekend, and I will more than likely enjoy it...or even love it. As a stand alone film, I really do think I'll enjoy watching this one. I even love the trailer, for the most part. I just am not comfortable with seeing remake after remake, it irks me to see Hollywood go in this direction. For one, as has been said a million times already, there is simply no reason to try to recreate a classic. Has there ever been a remake that truly was better than the original? For another, it just pains me to see Hollywood totally lost on new ideas. We need to see some new screenwriters and the such bust out pretty soon. When you are reduced to remaking The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead, Halloween, Cassablanca, and other such classics, something is fucked up big time. As for this trailer specificly, I really liked it, except for one part. WHY DO ZOMBIES RUN NOW A DAYS!? Can we not have the classic slow stumbeling zombies like we used to? Why is it when people die and come back to life or whatever, they become quicker than humans here lately? The entire thing that made the "zombie genre" so fucked up to me, was seeing them be so slow, so mindless, not being able to truly think on their own. The only thing that was on their mind was blood and killing YOU, and it just works so much better with them being so slow. There is something great about people cornerd, with a bunch of slow and mindless zombies closing in on them. I just miss that, and having FAST and quick zombies in this movie, will just hurt it so much. It must be something in the water over in Hollywood that the new zombies have gotten a hold of, that might also explain why we're seeing so many remakes here lately also. *sigh* Sincerely, ...Downhome...

    The One and Only Smackdown! HCTP Thread

    I'm not sure if ANY store will have it untill the 29th. At least that's what I was told by everyone today. The only ones that might have it on the 28th, are those stores which are VERY close to wherever it is that they ship them out from.

    Big Smackdown Spoiler

    Woohoo, great news, I'm pumped now. This is a LOT better than the way I predicted Austin becoming SD GM after Linda brought him out in spite of Vince. I really hope they at least mention, if not build the angle, around the way Steph had ownership of ECW at the time of the Invasion, and RUINED it.

    I just pre-orderd at GameStop, woohoo! Next week can't get here soon enough! I also pre-ordered the new TMNT game today, so I'll have that tomorrow. I got Jak II today, heh.

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...

    Oh come fucking on. This new version of TCM didn't have hardly ANY gore or whatever in it. You saw blood, you saw severed body parts, but you basicly never truly saw the act as it was going on. The only TRULY scene with anything that I'd actually call GORE, was the suicide scene.

    Babe Ruth's jersey cut into pieces

    That's reserved for childhood?

    Babe Ruth's jersey cut into pieces

    I still have all my cards -- baseball, football, basketball, hockey, wrestling (and other special-interest brands like ones for movies) in several Rubbermaids. One day when I buy a house I might make some display, but for now I don't regret refusing to sell any of them. These cards, my old video games, my miniature X-Wing Fighter and and TIE Fighter, and my Inhumanoids Tendril figure are all that's left of my childhood... I did it mainly out of spite, that and I needed money that Summer for vacation I do plan to get them all back though, especially the really old school cards. My favorites have always been, and always will be, the old cardboard cards. Fuck the super glossy crap, that isn't what it was all about to me.

    Babe Ruth's jersey cut into pieces

    Oh yeah, about this Babe Ruth jersey being cut up. I couldn't be more angry about that. It's a damn shame that such a piece of history, must be cut up into pieces, and whored out simply because of the big business. Fuck the baseball card industry to hell.

    Babe Ruth's jersey cut into pieces

    Once upon a time, I was a VERY hardcore Baseball (along with the other sports) card collector. I had the major rookie cards of just about every major star (that was my focus), and I loved how basic everything was. However, once the price of a single pack of baseball cards started going so far up, I said "fuck it". When you add together the overall price for a pack of just a handfull of cards and the overall whoring of the hobby to big business, that was enough for me. I sold all of the cards that I had, and I thank God for it now. My collection was in the thousands when I sold it, back in '99 or so. Not too long after I ditched them, the prices for cards went WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY down, seemingly overnight. The $200 or so Mark McGuire 1985 Topps USA rookie card suddenly, out of nowhere, became worth only around $10. I mean, that's fucked up. It happened to cards from every year, and it just pisses me off. The reason for this is because of that PSA bull shit, the "grading" of the cards. That right there, along with the HUGE ass prices for simple packs of Baseball cards, RUINED the hobby that I treasured for so many years. Yes, I'm very bitter. I think I'll go back and re-buy all of the great rookie cards I had at one time, I really do. I mean, what the fuck. I can go get them all for far less now.

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...

    Are you sure you aren't just thinking of the ending of House of 1,000 Corpeses?

    RVD shoots..............again!!!

    That's nothing new at all.

    RVD shoots..............again!!!

    We've been reading stuff like this for a VERY long time, and RVD hasn't gone anywhere yet. Hell, he actually got the IC title after everything that's been going on. WWE isn't going to let RVD go, I really don't think they will. For all you people know, WWE is allowing RVD to go out and shoot like this in interviews, just to keep his "cocky" persona that he has on WWE TV. The fact, is that none of us know either way. I don't think he's trying to get fired at all. If it hasn't happened yet, it isn't going to happen right now. As said before, if RVD WANTED to be fired, he could do so right this very second.

    The new Smackdown GM

    I predicted that Austin would become the GM of Smackdown the very MOMENT that I first heard any talk of Vince trying to make Steph quit. It's quite obvious to me that Austin will be shipped to SD by Linda, in order for her to get payback on Vince for what he did to their "little girl".

    Some No Mercy Notes

    If I wanted to, I could take that statement, knowing how much you like Chyna, and make it sound like you ARE a fucking psycho.

    The burning question

    It will be Chris Benoit vs. Brok Lesnar, seeing how it doesn't look like Eddie will be moving on to the main event just yet, Eddie will be busy with Chavo.

    The burning question

    Goldberg/HHH will main event Survivor Series, if you want to get technical.

    Backyard Wrestling

    Ok, about Powerstone since some of you don't get what I'm saying. Think of a game where it's a one on one fighting game, and you can move around the stage which is one big area, climb up ladders, etc... and you can interact with all of the items to use as weapons, and stuff like that. I don't know what else to say. I'd give BYW 6/10 if you are.

    Well he did it while Brock was on the apron and Taker was behind him in the ring kind of hanging off the top rope. That is one of my favorite spots of all time, it was just awesome.

    Just to make sure you know, lol, I was being sarcastic. I DESPISE Scott Keith, I really do. Forget pistols, let's force one another to watch a Mark Henry match. The one still awake by the end is the winner... ...no, wait...make that the loser.

    I can confirm that Unforgiven sucked. It was actually PAINFULL to watch.

    True, but that part in bold, OMG. That guy should be forced to eat his own pubes.

    Dear God, this is just some guy WANTING to hate on WWE. The part that I have in bold, that alone is enough for me to discard this moron's opinion.
