After seeing Marvin's pic, I decided to do a little searching. On Wikipedia, they have several different varieties of Pepsi listed. I was intrigued by this one: Cinnamon-flavored Pepsi. Sold in Guam, Saipan, Thailand, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines. Here's the full page.

Marvin's pick is Chris Kaman. Don't have time to look for a funny pic right now.

COLE Folks, we're set for ten-man tag team action here on HeldDOWN~! Let's go to Michael Buffer! [i]Sweet Home Chicago[/i] hits, and Jumbo dances through the curtains.

BUFFER [i]Representing Team #2, at a total combined weight of 480 pounds...first, from Minneapolis, Minnesota...CHHHHHHHHHHHHARLIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] Moss slides in, as the crowd boos.

Benjamin then hops into the ring and high-fives Moss, as [i]Master Blaster (Jammin')[/i] plays, and Denzel Spencer gets a nice ovation for his entrance. BUFFER [i]Representing Team #1, hailing from Montego Bay, Jamaica, and weighing in at 227 pounds...DENNNNNNNNNNNZEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSPENCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!![/i] Spencer slaps the fans' hands, then slides in and poses on the buckles. [color=pink][b]Je t'adore, Je t'adore...[/color][/b] The lights go out, and a pink light fills the entryway, as Felix Strutter walks through the curtains. COLE And the former Heartland champion out to the ring for this star-studded ten-man tag! BUFFER [i]Representing Team #2, from Thunder Bay, Ontario, weighing in at 218 pounds..."AFTER HOURS" FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX SSSSSSSSSSSSTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUTTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRR!!!!![/i] COLE And of course, Strutter losing the belt to Sandman9000, who made his stunning return at Zero Hour, in the Heartland Invitational Chamber of Hell III! COACH And Sandman is also a part of this match, I believe! COLE That's right! [i]God of Thunder[/i] hits, and Thunderkid gets a big pop as he makes his way out, through the yellow smoke in the entryway. BUFFER [i]Representing Team #1! Hailing from Green Bay, Wisconsin, weighing in at 250 pounds...THUNDERKID!!!!![/i] COLE And another participant in that brutal match, Thunderkid! COACH This is going to be a great match, Cole! Thunderkid poses on the buckles, as [i]Renegade[/i] hits and boos fill the arena as the lights go out. A single spotlight shines on the curtains, as Reject walks out and down to the ring. COACH The International World champion, Reject! BUFFER [i]Representing Team #2...hailing from the Bronx, weighing in at 235 pounds...he is the OAOAST International champion of the WORLD...RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEJECT!!!!![/i] Reject walks slowly to the ring, shoving his belt in people's faces, letting them know that he is in fact a World champion. He slides into the ring, and poses with the belt, as a cold, dark voice begins to speak the ungodly hymn over the loud speakers, as smoke begins to cover the entrance way. "Come on God, Answer Me. For Years, I've Been Asking You Why? Why are the Innocent Dead and the Guilty Alive? Where is Justice? Where is Punishment? . . . . . . . . . . . Or Have You Already Answered? Have You Already Said to the World, Here is Justice. Here is Punishment. Here.... In Me." [i]Punishment[/i] by BIOHAZARD starts up, as Brock Ausstin walks out to a monster pop and stops at the top of the ramp, and starts doing his HAPPY HAPPY HOSS DANCE~! BUFFER [i]Representing Team #1! Hailing from Victoria, Minnesota, and weighing in at 290 pounds...BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROCK AUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!![/i] Brock walks to ringside, and hops onto the apron, then pulls on the ropes, causing pyro to shoot out of the ringposts. COACH Whoa! Brock then climbs into the ring, and starts doing the dance again, as [i]Magnum Opus[/i] plays, and Alfdogg gets a mixed reaction as he walks to the ring. COLE And this is the final member of Team 2, former holder of many OAOAST titles, Alfdogg! BUFFER [i]Introducing the final member of Team #2, weighing in at 240 pounds...he is a former THREE-TIME Heavyweight champion of the WORLD...ALFDOGG!!!!![/i] Alf walks to the ring, then climbs in and poses on the buckles, to a mixed reaction. His music dies down, and the crowd starts to anticipate Sandman's entrance. The lights dim, then begin going crazy, as if a virus has infected them, randomly jerking around the arena, frantically changing colors and turning off and on. It’s as if a bad anime scene has come to life. COLE The Heartland champion about to make his appearance! Loud scratching fills the airwave, as if a DJ has lost their mind and is attempting to break their equipment. In-between the rips, legitimate music kicks on, of a Southern, heavy metal nature. I ask you please just give us/ Five Minutes Alone.” The lights continue to dart and flash as the music leaves and the scratching continues, only to come back again, now of a hip-hop nature. White America/ I could be one of your kids.” The rap fades out and the scratching continues, at an even greater pace, until music comes back, now of a hardcore variety. Final Prayer/ Final prayer for the human race.” The music leaves once again and the scratches reach their apex, before the sound cuts out and the arena goes pitch black. A single spotlight appears on the stage, the only light in the darkened arena. People look towards the light, but see nothing. Then People = Shit by Slipknot hits. HERE WE GO AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER! A figure punches through the curtains, wearing torn black jeans, a sleeveless black t-shirt, and two bandanas, one over his face and the other over his head. His hands are taped up, with a red "X" on the back of each of them. BUFFER [i]And the final member of Team #1, hailing from South of Heaven...weighing in at 220 pounds...he is the OAOAST Heartland champion...SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDMMMMMMAAAAAAAAA AAAANNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNE THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND!!!!![/i] The fans are going crazy, as Sandman, totally focused on the ring, walks down the aisle, then climbs into the ring. He rips his bandanas off, then hands his belt to the referee, who snatches it away quickly, obviously intimidated. Both teams then get together, as the referee calls for the bell. *DING DING DING* COLE And we're ready for a big-time ten-man tag team match! Guys step out, and Sandman and Reject are left to start. Reject hesitantly moves in, and gives Sandman a thumb to the eye. He then starts delivering right hands, but Sandman fires back! COLE And Sandman getting the best of this exchange with Reject! Sandman backs Reject into the corner, and fires off forearms, until Reject slumps into a sitting position! The crowd cheers him on, as Sandman picks up Reject, who delivers a knee to the gut, then puts Sandman in the corner, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! Reject then whips Sandman across, but Sandman gets the feet up on a charge! He then grabs Reject and delivers a big headbutt, sending him down on the mat! COACH And the International World champion not faring well right now against the Heartland champion! Sandman picks up Reject, and executes a snapmare, followed by a seated dropkick! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Sandman picks up Reject, and rakes his eyes across the top rope, much to the delight of the crowd! COACH What's wrong with these people? That's cheating! COLE Why don't you go tell Sandman that? COACH ...well, I would, but I've got a job to do here. COLE I see. Sandman tags in Jumbo, who steps through and delivers a big haymaker! He then delivers a second one, before sending Reject across. Reject ducks a clothesline, and catches Jumbo with a spinning wheel kick! COLE And finally, a big move from Reject! Reject quickly tags out to Alf, who goes to pick up Jumbo, but Jumbo pucks him up in a bearhug and carries him to the corner, where he works him over with punches.

He whips him into the ropes, and catches him with a BIG BOOT~! He then tags out to TK! COLE And now it's Alf and TK! TK picks up Alf, and executes a European uppercut!

Alf then delivers a savate kick, before hooking TK and taking him over with a BELLY-TO-BELLY~! COLE Great belly-to-belly suplex by Alf! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Alf walks over and tags Strutter, while TK rolls over and tags Denzel Spencer. COLE Tags on both sides, and it's Strutter and Spencer! COACH What an act of cowardice by TK, once he saw Felix come in, he rolled right over and tagged out! COLE :rolleyes: Strutter and Spencer circle the ring, and tie up. Strutter backs Spencer into a corner, then takes him out with an armdrag! Strutter poses, to boos, but Spencer bounces right back and hits a running enziguri! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COLE Can't take your eyes off the ball in this one! Spencer scoops up Strutter, and delivers a rib breaker! He follows with a standing moonsault, but Strutter gets the knees up! COACH These two are so quick, Cole! COLE And Felix Strutter a little quicker on that exchange, getting the knees up! Strutter drags Spencer over to the corner, and tags in Quentin Benjamin. COLE And now it's one half of Team Heyross, Quentin Benjamin! Benjamin executes a gutwrench suplex, followed by a fistdrop! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Benjamin picks up Spencer, and executes a backbreaker, then heads to the top rope. He waits for Spencer to get to his feet, and executes a flying clothesline! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Benjamin whips Spencer into the ropes, and tries a spinning wheel kick, but Spencer hooks the ropes, and Benjamin crashes into the mat! Spencer tags in Brock, which gets a loud reaction. COACH Uh-oh... Benjamin begs off, but to no avail, as Brock grabs him, then picks him up, and veals him across the ring! COLE Look at the strength of Brock Ausstin! Benjamin is in tremendous pain, as Brock picks him up in a two-handed chokehold, and slams him down to the mat! Cover... 1... 2... Strutter saves! Brock tags Sandman back in, while Benjamin tags Moss. COACH Heh...Moss didn't look too happy about that tag! COLE And I don't blame him, because look at who's across the ring from him! Moss slowly moves in, and goes to the eyes, then backs him into a corner and delivers some shoulder thrusts. COLE But look at Charlie Moss, taking it to him! Moss whips Sandman across, and charges...but Sandman moves, then floors Moss with a YAKUZA KICK~! Moss staggers into his corner, swinging and missing for a tag! COLE And look at this, none of the other guys want in there! After a few seconds, Strutter holds his hand out, and gets the tag. COLE Finally, Felix steps in there, with the man who took the Heartland title from him eleven days ago! Strutter moves in with a right hand, which Sandman blocks, and delivers one of his own! Sandman continues to fire off rights, then clotheslines Strutter to the mat! Sandman then picks up Strutter, and brings him to his corner, setting him up in a tree of woe, as all five members of the team tee off on him! COACH Get in there, ref, this is a mugging! Strutter's team jumps in to assist him, and a big brawl breaks loose! COLE And we've got a meelay here!

Nighty-night, Denzel! 1... 2... 3...NO! Jumbo makes the save! COACH Come ON! COLE Jumbo in there to break up the count!

COLE Alf may have picked up the win here, but it's Sandman9000 and his team holding fort in the ring!

Working on the match right now.

IIRC, Rock's reason for not doing a program with Booker was more or less because he knew HHH would just bury him afterwards (much like with Jericho), wasn't it?

I actually think we would hand out ketchup/mustard packets to people in the drive-thru when they would ask for them during breakfast hours.

Well, it's nice to know that after destroying the image of the Pacers, he's ready to put his past behind him and try to become a better person.

I changed my mind, I'm going to do a ten-man tag instead. Alfdogg, "After Hours" Felix Strutter, Reject & Team Heyross vs Sandman9000, Thunderkid, Brock Ausstin, Denzel Spencer & Jumbo

Still plenty of room in this league...it's just the four of us so far!

Technically, RVD was a heel throughout the invasion because he was with the Alliance, but he always got face reactions. After Survivor Series, he just started working against heels instead of faces. I don't think there was ever an actual turn. I still would have liked to seen Rock and RVD switched sides on the way to Survivor Series. With a WWF team led by Jericho, Angle and RVD against Rock and Austin's Alliance team, they could really have elevated some guys, IMO. Of course, then we probably would have just had Undertaker as the survivor instead.

haha

Dammit, that was my next pick!

I'd prefer it be a face.

How about

"This week, HeldDOWN~! will be Chiefing from Kansas City!" ...hey, I tried. If someone could volunteer an opponent for Reject, that'd be swell.

Samuel Dalembert, C

More of a "HHH had already wrestled two matches and sustained "injured ribs"" way. But hey, you take what you can get with him, I guess.

Oh, FUCK YOU, San Diego. That game would have been very helpful last week, you know.

Just the Pacers here. I don't know enough about the history of the Colts or Reds to give an opinion. Ron Artest - Potentially cost us a championship in Reggie Miller's last season by running into the stands after some douchebag who threw a beer at him. (everyone knows the details, I'm sure.) The franchise stuck by him throughout his suspension, which was the longest in NBA history at 73 games plus the playoffs, and as gratitude, he demands a trade a month into the following season. The team has gone nowhere but down since. That said, I'll always admire him as a player, and hope he can turn himself around. Stephen Jackson - His role in the aforementioned brawl, his disappearing acts in the playoffs, his clashes with Carlisle, his nightclub shoot-outs which resulted in us being labeled by some as "the Jail-blazers of the East", you name it. He rode Tim Duncan's coattails to a ring in 2003, and now feels that he's owed respect as a perennial winner from the world, despite contributing nothing to that run other than a hot hand in the 4th quarter of the title-clinching game. That's of no relevance to the Pacers, of course, I just needed to get it off my chest. After he was mercifully traded to the Warriors, his teammates would constantly mention in post-game interviews how he's not really a bad person, which culminated in him bringing his MOM onto TNT during the playoffs to stick up for him. Just a thoroughly unlikeable piece of shit, who deserves any misfortune that should come upon to him in his professional life. I promise I won't be like this all season.

If you're going to die at a young age, that's the way to go out.
