Downhome

WWE needs to learn from VKM, and have Orton just be a background guy to Edge, like Kip James is to BG.

Only once a year!!! Other than RAW a few weeks ago. And I can't believe Vince just made himself out to look like less than Trump.

Did you guys know that the Royal Rumble this year will be THE MOST STAR STUDDED EVER? JR said so.

I can honestly see Cena pulling a Foley and pinning Umaga down somehow so he can't get up. The Great Khali comes out to help Umaga, but Cena pulls his usual bullshit tricks and knocks out Khali. He does the FU to Khali onto Umaga, and the weight of Khali keeps Umaga down for the 10.

and Umaga's just been pretty much down for a 10 count right now. Exactly. I'm getting more and more pissed off with RAW, ECW, and the recent PPV shows (TNA's show last night also) here lately. Thank God Smackdown has been there to keep me sane lately.

Ugh. Why do they always have Cena kick Umaga's ass? What reason do they give anyone to care about the match, or the "danger" that Umaga is in? Doesn't Cena beat the hell out of Umaga almost every single time? And when he doesn't, he just runs him off like a coward?

I wish they'd have Umaga just act totally normal and calm, and shake Cena's hand and act like a real pro. He should also be in a suit.

I hate most "contract signings". There have been a few over the years that I enjoyed, like the Hogan/Flair signing in WCW (Ted Turner himself was involved), but come on, that was an absolute huge match. It's things like that which deserve the "signing" to be televised. I mean, Cena/Umaga? Why not just book a Batista/Kennedy signing while we're at it. Do they not sign contracts for every other match anymore? Why is Cena/Umaga special enough to have it on TV? Umaga isn't even undefeated anymore, so they don't even have that to go on now. EDIT: See, this is how they should be done:

I fully expect to see "Barbara Walters" on RAW tonight. So yes, it can and will get worse.

Exactly. It isn't that hard to follow folks.

Has this awesome news been posted yet? http://www.officetally.com/talking-michael...bblehead-coming

Yeah, without doing a lot of research you can't go by anything like that. For me personally though I've never known anyone who had a Nintendo system break down, and I've never known anyone who never had a PS2 break down on them. I've known a bunch of people who had the Xbox break down on them, but when I had an Xbox it was never a problem for me. Nintendo systems have never been a problem for me either. The only system I've ever had that broke down was a PS2, and I believe that happened twice.

I don't think a 360 price drop will have any affect on the Wii at all. The only way that could happen is if we start seeing Wii systems just not selling.

There's no question that the price is holding back a lot of people from buying a PS3. I just don't think Sony cares right now and they wont drop the price because of it. I'm sure that they're sitting back thinking that as soon as some more games are released, then more people will start to buy. Not sure what I think about that though, since I don't think third party games will do it, no matter how great they are. They need exclusives now, more than ever. It's going to take some damn good exclusives also, in order to get people to drop down $500-$600 for a PS3. I think that the PS3 numbers this Christmas were about the same as the 360 numbers last year. The only difference is that the 360 didn't have two brand new systems to deal with. It's going to be much more of an up hill battle for Sony for much of 2007 and into '08.

What do most of you guys think of this new heel version of AJ Styles? I never really thought he could be a great convincing heel, but there's something about this heel run that I'm really, really enjoying. As long as they don't stick him with Vince Russo again, I think this will end up doing a lot for him.

The guy who posted the above picture went back to the same store tonight, and took another picture of the very same spot: I think it's funny that since stores have PS3s in stock, sometimes a lot of em, people make light of it and laugh (like me, I admit it). However, if they didn't have any in stock, people would be complaining about Sony not shipping enough.

I doubt we'll see Sony drop the price anytime this year, or maybe the year after that. Has Sony dropped the price of the PSP, even with the DS kicking it's ass?

Posted on another board: These aren't empty boxes, as you can tell. It looks like multiple shipments are starting to pile up.

I think she's beautiful. Heck, I thought she was great looking before the recent "make-over": http://nattieneidhart.tripod.com/id27.html http://nattieneidhart.tripod.com/id19.html

Yeah, Guitar Hero is huge with a ton of people. I can't go into a Walmart or video game store or any other place that has displays and not see someone playing it. People of all ages too, it's insane. But great.

They sold out everywhere and continue to do so. The problem is that they just didn't produce and ship enough.

I guess the bad news coming out of this show tonight is that they planted the first seeds of Batista/Taker at Mania. Ugh. I'm all for Taker having an important match, but damnit he better not job to Batista. I guess Umaga and Ken Kennedy is the Mark Henry/Bob Holly of this year's Royal Rumble.

I'm already looking forward to SD next week.

Didn't SD get a new head booker around the time the show started to improve? I want to say Hayes, but I'm not sure.
