Sure there are probably better songs off of lesser-known bands' albums, but as far as songs that received pretty substantial airplay, it's probably the last truly great one. Apologies for the title, too, I must add.

I loved the match selection for the Michaels DVD. One of the Jannetty Raw matches would have been great, but it's nice to see that they put Michaels/Jarrett and Michaels/Bulldog on there as opposed to putting the Mind Games match or the Iron Man match on again.

My school used to have a deal with Pizza Hut where they would take the charge out of the money we had on our meal cards. This was great if you didn't eat too often on campus and had a bunch of people over for the Super Bowl or NCAA tournament. I used to hook some drivers up with mad tips too, even though they forgot my drink half the time.

I was never a big fan of simulating matches. I was never a big fan of making my own edits either, I mostly just downloaded them from online. Does anybody else who plays this game NEVER strike? I don't, unless it's an MMA/K-1 rules match or my wrestler has a strike for a signature or a finisher.

MMA is even worse, since you HAVE to rotate the pad to escape from submissions. On a related note, me and my buddy used to have these 10 man elimination tag matches with MMA rules and fighters and criticals set at "high." Fun times.

Here's some advice: If you still want skin on your thumbs, don't contest the "test of strength" after about level 3, it's futile.

When I first started playing, I would go against level 1's first and not advance until I was able to win three matches in a row by pinfall. It's not as hard as you think, I would say it took me a couple of weeks to get to 10, and then a month or so later, I was beating 10's. At that point, most of the matches I lost at 10 were still fun to me, so really you're rewarded by making it to that level, since the matches are so fun win or lose, as the pace is much faster than a lower level match.

I pray to the football gods that Bama gets Texas A&M in a bowl game. Just one last measure of revenge before Franchione gets the boot.

Usually, I never comment during games, but I could just had a feeling Arenas (Gilbert's cousin) was gonna bust a return before this one was over with. Also, fairly amusing that some of Les Mile's cutesy shit has bitten him in the ass this game. Still not over yet, though...

Sonfabitch, I was gonna pick Ga. Tech too, which would have made another swing game!

Kind of unrelated to the current discussion, but tell me what you guys think of my fantasy squad. Jason Kidd Michael Redd Josh Howard Richard Jefferson Pau Gasol Mehmet Okur Tyson Chandler Andris Biedrins Cuttino Mobley Grant Hill Travis Outlaw Marvin Williams Dorrell Wright (I waived him after the draft to pick up Walter Herrmann) Only knock I have is that I don't have a backup for Kidd in case he goes down. I'll just deal with that if it comes, because I got some pretty good point guards off of waivers last year (Delonte West, Rajon Rondo, coincidentally both Celts). After having a horrible time with centers last year (at least Gasol came through for me when he got healthy), I picked up four great picks at that position this year.

I like Iggy's analyses of each contending team each week before the games, saves me a lot of trouble and it makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about with my friends

Couldn't you say the same about S Carolina and Vandy? Especially considering that loss was at home.

I don't know how bad Hansbrough would suck in the NBA, I think he'd make a pretty decent "lunch pail" player who can grab some boards and get to the line.

Sakuraba vs. Funaki is on for the next Heroes. At least we don't have to worry about either one dying in the ring for once.

Bruce Springsteen - "Thunder Road" Bob Seger - "Against the Wind" Derek and the Dominoes - "Layla" U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945" The Cure - "Just Like Heaven" Hüsker Dü - "Makes No Sense at All" The Smiths - "The Boy With the Thorn in His Side" Jackson Browne - "Running on Empty" Alabama - "Mountain Music"

Cool, I lost and was rewarded by moving up a spot!

Anybody have a match list for the Rey DVD? Probably nothing special, but I was hoping for Psicosis/Juvy AAA goodness to maybe make an appearance.

What are the other albums of his that you have?

I was thinking in my head that Silva outstruck Chonan in their fight and was winning until the heel hook, but I watched it for the first time since I saw it live and Chonan was not only winning but beating Silva in stand-up. He actually fought smart, picking his shots, avoiding the Thai clinch, and finding openings to take Silva down. I think Rich CAN do all of these things, but I still see Silva winning the fight just based on how bad he beat Rich last time out, though it will probably go the distance as opposed to a stoppage this time out. Too bad it's probably the best fight Chonan will ever have since he's been pretty unimpressive ever since. I think it's also fair to say Silva has improved since the Chonan fight, and has turned into a much stronger middleweight since then. True, he's looked like a different fighter since he left Pride. In fact, he never really did much in Pride, except giving Alex Steibling a 0.7 Muta, kneeing the shit out of Carlos Newton's face on a shoot after a lame stand-up, and letting Alexander Otsuka lay in his triangle for twenty minutes.
