alfdogg

I appears I didn't take the time to pay attention to the face/heel ratio when compiling the field...so I counted the list, and the original list included 23 heels and 9 faces. I've made a few changes (pending approval), and I've got it to 20/12. Obviously, I'd like to get this evened out a little more.

*THE CHAMP IS HERE!* A lightning bolt hits the entrance and [i]Know Your Role '99[/i] begins playing as Tha Puerto Rican comes out, and boos fill the arena. COLE And we're set for tag team action here on HeldDOWN~! BUFFER [i]The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!

COACH Yeah, and Thunderkid stole PRL's opportunity right out from under his nose! COLE And that was retaliation for PRL's actions, he has ambushed TK on two separate occasions, in an attempt to get that shot at Alfdogg, but instead drew the ire of TK! And as a result of all this, PRL will meet Thunderkid in a one-on-one matchup at the Great Angle Bash! [i]Renegade[/i] hits, and more boos fill the arena, with scattered cheers, as Reject makes his way to the ring. COACH And here comes the #1 contender, Cole!

COACH And according to the OAOAST website, that match has been stipulated as a 2-out-of-3 falls match! COLE And Reject getting some cheers from this crowd in Albany, of course Reject not too far down the road, residing in New York City! Reject slides in and poses on the buckles, then high-fives PRL as [i]God of Thunder[/i] hits and TK comes to the ring, getting a nice reaction. BUFFER [i]Their opponents...introducing first, hailing from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and weighing in at 253 pounds...THUNDERKID!!!!![/i] TK poses in the corners, as [i]Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon[/i] hits and Alfdogg comes to the ring, to a mixed reaction.

Both then stop slugging and signal to the other. COLE And a Pearl Harbor Job right off the bat! Reject and PRL try a double Irish whip, but Alf and Reject DOSIE-DO~! and deliver stereo clotheslines! COLE But it didn't last long! Alf then follows PRL into the corner, as TK does the same to Reject. Alf and TK both climb to the second rope, and lay in punches, as the crowd counts along! 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! 9!!! 10!!! Alf and Reject then jump down, and set up an Irish whip of their own. Reject and PRL try the DOSIE-DO~! counter themselves, but PRL runs right into a SPEAR~!, while Alf catches Reject with a BELLY-TO-BELLY! COACH Come on, guys! COLE And Alf and Reject really on a roll now! Alf clotheslines Reject to the floor, as TK picks up PRL in a PRESS SLAM~!, and tosses him right down onto Reject! COLE And Reject and PRL need to regroup here! However, Alf and TK don't give them that chance, as Alf goes to the ropes, and TK backdrops him OVER THE TOP on top of them! COACH Oh, no! COLE Great teamwork by Alf and TK! TK then goes to the top rope as all three men make their way to their feet. He waits until they're all the way up...and hits a SHOOTING STAR PRESS~! from the top rope to the floor! COACH WOW! COLE TK flying through the air! All four men are out of it on the floor, as the crowd gives appreciative applause, then starts a HOLY SHIT~! chant. COLE All that, and this match has barely been going on for two minutes! TK gets to his feet, and tosses Reject into the ring. Reject begs off into the corner. COACH Why didn't he go after PRL? He's not [i]scared[/i] of PRL, is he? COLE Don't be stupid, Coach! Reject was just the first guy he saw! COACH Uh-huh. Reject goes to the eyes of TK, then turns him around in the corner, and lays in a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! Reject with another CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! However, TK gets a burst of energy, and twists Reject around, laying in a CHOP~! of his own! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! Reject staggers out of the corner, and TK goes for an Irish whip.

TK picks up Reject, and delivers a vertical suplex, then tags in Alf! COLE Tag made, and here comes the champ. TK wrenches the arm of Reject, and Alf comes off the top with a double axhandle! Alf then grabs the arm and armdrags Reject to the mat, applying an armbar. Alf turns it to a wristlock, then drops a knee to the shoulder joint, followed by a second. Alf then picks Reject up by the wrist, and delivers a snap suplex! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE First cover of the match for two, and Reject not looking anything like a #1 contender right now! COACH It's early, Cole! Just wait! Alf drags Reject to the corner and tags TK back in. Alf holds Reject in a full nelson, as TK comes off the top with a big chop right between the eyes! TK then drops a knee to the sternum, and covers... 1... 2... Kickout! TK picks up Reject, and gives him a big bodyslam, then tags Alf in once again. Alf grabs Reject's right leg, and TK grabs his left. COLE Time to make a wish! Alf and TK jerk on the legs, leaving Reject on the mat in pain! PRL jumps into the ring, and gets met with a double hiptoss! PRL's feet land right across from Reject's, and Alf and TK look at each other and grab a leg on each man. COLE And now we're gonna go on a little boat ride! Alf and TK drop to the mat and ROW THE BOAT~! as the crowd goes crazy! After six rows, they release the hold, and the referee ushers PRL and TK out of the ring. Alf drops a snap legdrop on Reject, then goes to the ropes...but PRL lays a knee right into the back! The referee turns around, and sees Alf on the mat, then approaches PRL, who raises his arms in the air and claims his innocence. COLE And PRL LYING to the official, saying he did nothing, but we saw what happened there, Coach! COACH Of course he's gonna! What do you expect him to say, he did it? Reject rolls to a neutral corner to gain his senses, then runs across the ring and drives an elbow to the back of Alf's head. He stomps away on the ropes, then tags in PRL. COLE That's the first tag of the match on the PRL/Reject side! Let's see if they can get some continuity going. PRL stomps Alf some more by the ropes, then leans down and drives his knee into Alf's face while grabbing the ropes. The referee counts, and PRL breaks at four. COLE PRL's gotta be careful here not to get disqualified! PRL picks Alf up, and sets up a vertical suplex. COACH Here we go, baby! COLE Could be the Corporate Trifecta coming up here! PRL lifts Alf, and delivers a vertical suplex! PRL lays for a second, then rolls over and stands up, lifting Alf again for a second suplex! He rolls to his feet once again, lifting Alf for a third suplex, this time leaving him suspended in the air as he does the "You Can't See Me!" hand gesture, then walks to the ropes, and executes a slingshot suplex! PRL sits up and applauds himself, receiving a round of boos in return. COACH Don't celebrate, PR, go for that cover! PRL lays back... 1... 2... Shoulder up!

Alf ducks a clothesline, then Alf and PRL clothesline each other! Both men are out of it, and the referee begins his count... ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!! FOUR!!! FIVE!!! SIX!!! SEVEN!!! Alf slowly sits up, and starts to go to his corner. PRL comes to, but opts to attempt to stop Alf instead of tagging, and is unsuccessful as Alf makes the tag to TK! COACH Oh, no! COLE And I wouldn't want to be in PRL's shoes right now! PRL begs off, but TK immediately goes in and pulls him up, then whips him into the ropes and floors him with a big AXE KICK~! TK then picks PRL up, and delivers a FALCON ARROW~! 1... 2... NO! Reject makes the save! Reject delivers a back suplex to TK, then revives PRL.

PRL lifts TK up, then tosses TK's arm over his shoulder. He plays to the crowd, drawing boos, then drives TK to the mat with the LATIN SLAM~! PRL then heads over to the corner. COLE I think PRL should go for a cover here! PRL scales the ropes, poses on the buckles, then attempts the MAD CAPPA CRUSHER 2003~!!!111 ,,,but TK rolls out of the way! COLE Now's your chance, TK! Make the tag! TK crawls over to his corner, as PRL again attempts to stop the tag...with the same success, as Alf tags in! COLE And the champ is back in! Alf backs PRL into a corner, hammering away, then whipping him across the ring and following him in with a splash! PRL staggers out, right into a BELLY-TO-BELLY~! Alf follows up with a T-BONE SUPLEX~! Reject jumps into the ring, but Alf sends him right back outside and to the floor with a SUPERKICK~! Alf picks up PRL, and drops him with the WHIPLASH~! Alf then heads to the top rope... COLE And Alf going for the kill here! Alf leaps off with the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 COLE HE HIT IT! Alf goes for the cover, but there's no referee, as he's tied up with TK and Reject, who are brawling on the floor! The referee separates TK and Reject, and ushers TK back to his corner, as Alf gets up and attempts to get the referee's attention. This allows Reject to slide into the ring with a chair, and ram the closed chair up between Alf's legs! COLE Wait a minute! Reject with a chair-assisted low blow! Reject then spins Alf around, and hits the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COACH And the EULOGY! Reject then drags PRL on top of Alf, as TK attempts to slide in, but Reject hits him with a baseball slide! The referee slides in and makes the count... 1... 2... 3!!!

The band is here! The rail jumper is LC member Vitamin X, who attacks TK from behind with a low blow and a slam on the floor! He then picks TK up by the hair, and holds him that way for the Cuban Wall, who comes charging into the picture and DRILLS TK with a big boot! COLE This is uncalled for! Brains & Brawn have ambushed TK after this tag match! PRL then slides out of the ring, sets TK up...and as VX & Wall raise their arms in the air, drills TK with the CORPORATE NIGHTMARE~!!!!!11111 ON THE FLOOR~! COLE Oh, NO! COACH Oh, YES! COLE TK and Alf both laid out by their rivals, just three days before the Great Angle Bash! This is UNFUCKING CALLED FOR~!

I definitely agree, but I think the whole team was guilty of it. Terry and Howard still took it inside occasionally, but they couldn't even hit *those* shots. Howard at least made up for it by having a good night on the boards. Terry just sucked.

Not directed at Gert T or anyone in particular, just a general statement I think Dirk's really become a lot like Kobe over the last couple months, and by that I mean he's got a big fanbase who support him no matter what, and is just damned if he does, damned if he doesn't by the other side. It's not as diverse as it is with Kobe, obviously, but the happy medium has gotten a little smaller with every series.

Dirk did pass up one shot I felt he should have taken, though, and that was where he tried to pass to Dampier. No one expected him to go to Damps, unfortunately, neither did Damps himself. I thought he should have gone for the tie right there. No way in hell he passes up the one on the last play, though.

Then that's on Avery. Avery drew up the play, not Dirk.

At least the championship game was decided in a decently-officiated game (by NBA standards.) Because you know ol' Dick was right around the corner in game 7.

I liked this series, too, but not for the same reasons. I got Game 7 on tape as part of the Finals marathon, and I still can't help but smile a bit with every brick that Starks launches.

This could be Jermaine holding this trophy, if Artest hadn't flaked out. *sigh*

Well obviously if you're only losing one of them, then you've got to do it. Chances are though, that Minnesota would ask for two of the three, along with probably a random bench player and a draft pick(s).

Getting KG will also necessitate shipping off Carter and/or Jefferson. And Jason Kidd can't play forever, either.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I also enjoyed last year's finals better. I really hate to keep harping on it, but the referees really took me out of this one, although Dwyane Wade was fantastic, no matter how you spin it.

Jason Terry should be the MVP.

FUCK Jason Terry. Right in his ass. He shot about 20%, yet he has to take all the clutch shots. You just cost me $20. Go back to Atlanta, motherfucker.

Pending a reply from EWC on a couple guys, I've got the field set.

Akeem and Bossman were the Twin Towers. Sid and Dan Spivey were the Skyscrapers, then UT replaced Sid in the team later on.

Dirk got fined 5K for kicking the ball into the stands.

Alf pulls himself up in his corner, as he waits out the break, and Reject pulls himself to his feet. *DING DING DING* COLE Time for the second fall! Reject approaches Alf, who quickly takes Reject over with an armdrag! Alf then hammerlocks it on the mat, and drops knees on it. COACH Why do these guys only get 30 seconds to rest? Reject obviously wasn't ready to go yet! COLE Those are the rules, and Reject had better get ready in a hurry, or else Alf's going to pull the clean sweep here! Reject works his way to his feet, and drives an elbow right to the face of Alf! He then backs into the ropes, and shoulderchecks Alf to the mat! Reject then runs to the ropes, and Alf drops down, then leapfrogs, then drops down again to send Reject across the ring with a reverse monkey flip! Alf then gets up, backs into the ropes, and clotheslines Reject to the floor! COLE Nice recovery by Alf, and Reject reeling once again! Alf follows Reject to the outside, and tosses him back in, then scoops him in a small package! 1... 2... Kickout! Alf quickly clotheslines Reject to the mat, then delivers a snap legdrop! Alf then reapplies the armbar, but Reject uses the hair to drag Alf into the ropes. Alf reverses an Irish whip, then leapfrogs Reject, but Reject catches him with a spinning wheel kick! COACH There we go, baby! Reject gets up slowly, then stomps away at Alf, until Alf falls off the apron and to the floor. Reject follows, and rams Alf's head into the steel steps! He then throws Alf back into the ring, and delivers a backbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject whips Alf into the ropes, and hooks a sleeperhold! COACH Nighty-night, Alf! Alf walks around the ring, trying to escape, but eventually fades right in the middle of it. Alf slowly sinks to one knee, then to both. Reject pulls him to the mat, where the referee raises the arm... ONE!!! TWO!!! THR...NO! Alf holds through on the final lift! COLE And Alf still able to hang in there! Alf fights to his feet, and delivers an elbow to the midsection! Then another! A third, breaking the hold! Alf goes to the ropes, and ducks a clothesline, but Reject catches him with a HURRICANRANA~! COACH Oh yeah! Great recovery! COLE Spectacular move by Reject! Cover... 1... 2... Alf kicks out! Reject goes to the top rope, and comes off with a flying bodypress! ...but Alf rolls through and comes out on top! 1... 2... Kickout! Reject quickly delivers a kick to the back of Alf, then drops a knee to it. Reject goes into the ropes, and knocks Alf off the apron to the floor with a baseball slide! COLE And Reject in control once again! Reject celebrates in the ring, getting the boos of the crowd in return. Alf climbs up onto the apron, where Reject attempts to suplex him back in. But Alf slides over the back, and executes a reverse sunset flip! 1... 2... Kickout! Reject gets up and lands a savate kick, then comes off the ropes with a swinging neckbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE And Alf once again kicks out! COACH How do you keep this guy down? Reject lands a European uppercut, then follows with a gutwrench suplex. Reject then goes to the top rope. COLE And Reject up top once again! Reject sizes Alf up, and comes off for a LEGDROP...but Alf rolls out of the way! COLE That may have forced a third fall had it connected, but Alf out of the way JUST in time! The referee starts a count... ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!! FOUR!!! FIVE!!! SIX!!! SEVEN!!! EIGHT!!! Reject gets to his feet first, and goes for a suplex. However, Alf blocks, and delivers one of his own! Reject begs off in the corner, and when Alf follows him in, delivers a LOW BLOW~! COLE And a blatant low blow by Reject, he could have cost himself the match right there, but the referee's letting it go! Just as long as it's consistent... Alf falls back to the mat, then Reject grabs a leg and applies a figure-four! COLE And now it's Reject with a submission hold! Alf tries to fight it, but lays back. 1... 2... Alf sits up! Alf reaches for Reject, who cinches in on the hold, causing Alf to lay back once again. 1... 2... Alf sits up again! This time, Alf turns to his left when he sits up, and starts to reverse the hold! COLE And Alf's turning this thing around! Alf manages to turn it all the way over! Reject fights it for a few seconds, then rolls again to the ropes, and the hold is broken. Both men are limping around the ring, and Alf goes into a corner. Reject charges, but is met with two feet to the face! Alf then grabs the legs and flips over... 1... 2... NO! Reject kicks out! Reject goes to the eyes of Alf. COACH And look at Reject come right back! What tenacity! He's going to make a great champion, Cole! Reject whips Alf to the ropes, and attempts a TILT-A-WHIRL, but Alf spins through to his feet, and scoops Reject up for a TOMBSTONE~! COLE Tombstone coming up, perhaps! Reject kicks his legs, and reverses! However, Alf flips over once more, and completes the move, drilling Reject into the mat! COACH Oh, man, this could be it. :( Alf covers... 1... 2... NO!!! Reject gets a shoulder up! Alf goes to pick up Reject, and Reject again goes to the eyes! COACH And AGAIN, Reject comes back! When Alf regains his senses, Reject goes for a foot to the gut, but Alf catches it. Reject goes for an enziguri, but Alf ducks, and while still holding onto Reject's foot, kicks him right between the legs, prompting an audible groan from the audience. Alf keeps his foot there for a second, as the camera pans in on Reject's wide-eyed, pained face, then lets him fall to the mat. COACH Come ON, what about a DQ there? COLE Turnabout is fair play, Coach! Alf was just returning the favor from earlier! Alf smiles at Reject down on the mat, then picks him up and sets him on the top turnbuckle. Alf follows Reject, climbing up to the top rope, and pulling Reject up, taking him off with a SUPERPLEX~! COLE And Alf with the superplex! Cover... 1... 2... NO!!! Reject kicks out again! Alf waits on Reject to get up, and hooks a small package! 1... 2... NO! Kickout! Alf then hooks Reject from behind for a backslide, but Reject blocks with the rope, then spins out...and drops Alf with the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COACH YEAH! COLE Reject with the EULOGY out of nowhere! Reject covers... 1... 2... 3!!! COACH ALL RIGHT! COLE And we're all tied up! Reject gets up slowly and raises his arms in the air, then makes the belt motion around his waist as the crowd boos. BUFFER [i]The winner of the second fall, evening the match at one fall apiece...RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!!!!![/i] COLE And one more fall, before we find out who will walk out of Baltimore the champion!

Alfdogg & Thunderkid vs Tha Puerto Rican & Reject Also:

Well, Luigi sweeps in my challenge, 2-0. Got to 5-1 with him tonight, and stayed on 3-3 with Princess, despite still having all my lives going into 3-2.

From Dallas Morning News I can see Dirk going Pedro in an interview with ESPN. "Who is Gary Payton?"

I wonder what zacalex would think of this. He knew three people who respected him on this board. They were Drury37, RetroRob215, and nWoscorpion.

I tried this tonight. Got to 4-2 with Luigi and 3-3 with the Princess.

So it was a foul, after all. Whether it should be one that could ultimately decide who wins the championship is the question now.

As an early teenager, my goal was to become a basketball analyst. Press conferences like that one reminded me why I'd never be able to do it. Great stuff from Avery.
