  1. Are you drunk? And I think just about everyone thinks this is a bad deal.
  2. There are tons of big men that are were good workers, But what 'big men' refers to in wrestling is men who are FREAKISHLY big. Usually this means they are fat (usually meaning unathletic and easily gassed, exception at one time: Vader) hugely ripped (roiding which decreases agility) Or really, really tall, which is not necessarily that much of a detriment. Being big severely limits the moves that can be put on you. These can be slams and tosses of any nature, but if you're enormous, certain submission moves (see Walls of Jericho) can't be applied properly. It took someone like Brock to believably throw around the Big Slow. Big guys who have a good look get big pops solely on their look. See: Sid and Nash, at times. If you are already over just by standing around and killing people with powerbombs, what's the incentive to improve? I also think no matter if you're in good shape or not, being huge has to take a big toll on your body, particularly bones and joints. See Sid breaking his leg by jumping from 1.5' high.
  3. That is a hilarious moment that SOLELY involved words.
  4. You don't think TM1 was graceful?
  5. Cyclops and Storm are similar, and both are ridulously powerful if levelled correctly, probably the most powerfl in the fame. Their Leadership skill can be huge. Wolvie's hard NOT to use because regen is so handy. Iceman, Gambit, and Jubilee suck in my opinion. Nightcrawler's great to have as a computer controlled character, since he can save you from death with one skill, and his teleportation means he always is there to back you up. Jean Grey is a great backup too. overall it's quite a fun game, but the challenge gets lower as you go along, IMO hurting the game. Last boss should have been someone different.
  6. In regards to Tiger Mask, the first Tiger Mask, Satoro Sayama, had an incredible series of matches with Dynamite Kid. TM1 was not only a good flyer, but he was extremely crisp and graceful. Everything just looks perfect in these matches. I'm sure someone has a comp of their matches out there. They were revolutionary at the time, they're still great today. P.S. My favourite Bob Sapp match is versus Cro Cop. (he gets KOed in under a minute, I believe.)
  7. Oooooooh. Homosecshuals! How ghastly and unseemly. I think reality TV has gone too far in the category of completely sucking. The only reality show I've ever enjoyed was Season 1 Joe Shmoe.
  8. That's taking it quite a bit too far.... He's there as a public servant. Christopher Daniels totally needs one of those, though.
  9. So A. Parents can be sued for acts their child committed because it's their fault for not parenting correctly. B. The only way they can find out what their kid is up to is talking to them, but teenagers never, ever lie, so that's OK. You know, I love living in WA, but shit like this sort of ruins it. Plus, to all the people who enjoy the snuggly notion that all will be right if you just talk to your kids and build a foundation and mutual trust and blah blah blah. Which is a noble idea, and one parents should strive for. Some kids are just BAD. I don't want to get into a nature v nurture argument, but don't you know kids who have the same great parents, one's great, the other's a complete shitstain? Not to mention many couples have to both work full time to make ends meet. My brother (who is a great kid) goes to school I believe 6 hours a day, 4 on Wednesdays. How can you know what the kid is up to in that extra time if your work overlaps it by 3 hours?
  10. The second I knew the invasion was doomed was when Hardcore fucking Holly beat Mike Awesome clean on Heat. Awesome was one of the few guys they brought who could have been huge in the WWF, and they were jobbing him to a jobber weeks into the storyline. Back to the topic at hand, wasn't Shane-o a big fan of Buff's?
  11. If it qualifies, Alec Baldwin in Glengary is a shoe-in for best cameo ever.
  12. Tiger Woods Tony Gwynn McGwire looked very nerdy before he grew his goatee and added all the muscle. Edgar Martinez doesn't look nerdy or anything, just like a regular Joe, but his interviews are so earnest it's ridiculous. Chad Pennington has the goofy southern boy thing too. McNabb has the best laugh ever.
  13. I don't give a shit because I have: Scarecrow Video The fucking greatest video store in the nation.
  14. Classic David Cross moment: I'm on TV.... I also mark for Steve Holt's 'STEVE HOLT!' nickname. Also for the return of the line about smoking marijuana 'like a cigarette.'
  15. I'll say Angle v. Benoit v. Jericho where Angle lost both titles without being pinned (pretty much the same as losing) The Dudleys losing to the Hardys in double tables. Jerry Lynn losing to RVD the first couple times.
  16. 2GOLD I do hope you are kidding. Many southerners (i.e. JR) call raccoons 'coons', and raccoons are notoriously ornery and mean animals, which I guess makes it OK to whip them. PETA may have a complaint there, but it has nothing to do with race. This reminds me of people losing their shit when they first the Lord of the Rings trilogy (after the movies cam out, natch) and found the word 'niggardly'. (meaning 'stingy' and having no racial connotations whatsoever) Tolkien's a racist! EEEK! Ivory's comment, however, IS offensive. But last night's Heat was live, so you never know if the WWE intended it. If it was a RECORDED Heat, we would KNOW they meant to leave it in.
  17. I'll say Misawa/Kawada is better, but both matches are terrific. you need to watch quite a bit of AJPW to get all the little storylines in the match, and the AJPW (All Japan Pro Wrestling, BTW) type of psych, which will appear weird at first. The previous Misawa/Kawada encounters are a good place to start, as well as some Jumbo/Misawa matches. Puro-heads will be able to give you some specific good ones of the top of their heads. Of course the Flair/Steamboat matches all build off each other as well, and it's a smaller body of work, so it's an easier match to get into. Both matches are really action-packed, have great heart and psych exihibited in their characters, and it seems not a moment is wasted in either one.
  18. As others said, this guy is PRIME for sure. He 'no sold' your email? Tool.
  19. The King of Chicken serves burgers? That doesn't sound right.
  20. This isn't wrong in anyway, but following up on educational films, we had a physics film from probably the early 50's. They couldn't afford to do second takes, so it included such lovely moments as several times the professor really screwing up his lines, and setting the table on fire. The best moment occured follows: Nerdy prof is delivering lecture on behaviour of light. Phone starts ringing. Prof tries to ignore it. Finally to his small, mute assistant: 'Could you GET that?' Assistant walks off to right. Prof continues for a few seconds. We can hear his assistant talking softly in the background. A few seconds later, assistant emerges from from the right and delivers his only line: 'It's for you.' For a beat the prof just stares murder at his assistant and then slowly takes the phone. 'Hello. yes. yes. I'm REALLY busy right now. no. Look I'm making a film. I'll call you back. The whole class was dying.
  21. He may have done it multiple times, but when he did it to the ring crew member, the camera was about 150' away from him. He disappears for like a second and a half and then reappears right in fron of it for a big "BANG!". I didn't even notice the camera cut when I watched this. It was to die for.
  22. What? You're a jackass.
  23. Happy B-Day!
  24. Li'l bro: The new Cossacks game Friend: T.O. signed football Mom: Book Grandma: Jewelery Box Another friend: Signed Ali G photo.
  25. What is that? It sounds pretty good. Seeing as I am a fan of sour foods, lemon-lime soda in general dissapoints. Give me a good ol' Diet Squirt. That stuff'll exfoliate the inside of your mouth.
