The review at Yahoo said that the fans at the Garden were actually chanting MVP for Kobe.

17 for Peja in his Pacer debut on 4-10 shooting and 8-10 from the line. Pacers lose 84-79, but it wasn't as close as the score would indicate. The whole game was generally bad, but most notably Stephen Jackson turned in a pitiful performance and actually had me yearning for Al Harrington for a while.

Per ESPN Dunk contest participants are Josh Smith, Andre Igoudala, Hakim Warrick, and Nate Robinson. Nash will be back in the skills challenge, Q-Rich will be back for the 3-point contest. None of the other people have been announced yet, but LeBron James will be in the skills challenge.

Alf gets to his dressing room with the briefcase of money, and sees Reject sitting inside. REJECT Hey. I left so quick last night, and I was so mad, I never got a chance to congratulate you. Reject sticks his hand out, and Alf shakes it. ALF Thanks. Alf sets the briefcase on a bench. REJECT You know, you really owe me, though. ALF What for? REJECT Well, I like to think I had a hand in softening up Zack in order for you to pick up the bounty. (Reject starts to grin) I mean, when that steel chair cracked off his head, BOOM! (makes swinging motion) ALF (interrupting) Look. Last night wasn't about the money for me. I was out there to go through 29 guys and get a shot at Peter Knight for the World title. If I can pick up a little pocket cash on the way, fine. REJECT I understand that. But you did still get that bounty largely because of me, I mean...you REALLY (eyes briefcase) owe me. Alf sighs, and hands Reject a few wrapped stacks of benjamins. ALF Just don't tell TK, okay? Reject walks out of the room with a big smile on his face as Alf prepares for his match.

The segment where I collect the bounty should open the show, and the posted segment with me and Reject should come as soon after as possible. The Six-Man match I'm going to write should come after the Otaku promo (and match, if he ends up sending one) MMoM sends, but should not ME.

I guess I was wrong, Yao's playing right now against the Grizzlies.

What Sandman thing?

Hard to be humble when you're great

MIN BOS New avs

Rick Heyross walks into the drawing room, leading Team Heyross in. RICK OK, boys, let's see what the lucky numbers are! Charlie Moss reaches into the tumbler, followed by Quentin Benjamin. Moss opens up his container, and Rick looks at his number and starts laughing evilly. Moss joins in on the laughter. Benjamin checks his number out, and is not quite as enthused. Team Heyross exchange glimpses at one another's numbers. MOSS Oh, come on, that's not bad! Not bad, at least, for the best pure athlete in the OAOAST. Benjamin lightens up a bit. BENJAMIN You know, I heard about the Sooner Bruisers talking about getting a hotel for their family. Well, I hope they're having some champagne catered up there, too. Moss gives Benjamin a strange look. BENJAMIN You know why? Because those two are going to have a lot of woes to drink away after we have our way with them out in that ring tonight. MOSS (laughs) And they better save some for Thursday night, after we knock them out of the Anderson Cup tournament. Moss and Benjamin give each other a cross-hand five and leave the drawing room with their manager.

From all accounts I've heard, the Rockets should have Yao back sometime this week. The Bulls/Suns game is marked just for my own personal reminder...as far as I know it's just parts of the Midwest that get that channel.

Dammit, I was hoping 909 would say Webber. We could have worked something out in the TSM league. But yeah, in my leagues I'd take Wallace without a second thought if it was straight up.

UT/HHH might be the single most overrated match in history. It always seems to pop up whenever a "best WM matches" list comes out.

MEAN GENE OKERLUND I'm standing by with OAOAST superstar Foshi who is about to draw his number for the Lethal Rumble. Foshi-san, do you have any thoughts on the rumble match tonight? (Okerlund extends the mic to Foshi's mouth area, but Foshi doesn't respond!~) GENE Well, any thoughts on your match upcoming with Rikjin Massamoto? (Again, Foshi does not reply and just sort of stares at Mean Gene.) GENE ....Well then, why don't you pick your number... (Mean Gene rolls the bingo roller for a few seconds and then stops. Foshi sticks his hand in and pulls out a ball. He glances at the number with virtually no expression.) GENE Any comments on the number you've drawn? Do you think you have a shot at winning it all? (Foshi looks at Gene and walks away.) GENE Well, there goes the most emotionally removed son of a bitch I've ever seen. Back to you, guys.

All HL matches are anything goes. I thought I pointed that out when I changed the name of the belt, but I may just not be doing a good job of dwelling on it during the matches.

*Cut back to HeldDOWN GM~! Axel in the drawing room, standing behind the tumbler.* AXEL OK, who we got, who we got... Axel suddenly stops clapping as Alfdogg walks in on the left side, and Brock Ausstin and Rick Heyross walk in on the right side. The two have a staredown, as extra security walks into the room. AXEL Alf, if you would, go ahead and draw your number. ALF No no...we'll do the standard procedure. The champ (slaps his belt on his shoulder with his hand) goes last...we'll let the CHUMP go first. Brock starts to lunge at Alf, but is quickly held back by security. Axel takes a step back, as well, as Alf just smiles at Brock. AXEL Very well...Brock, please. Brock pulls a plastic container out. BROCK I think I just pulled YOUR chump card. Brock, never changing his expression, opens the container and looks at his number. He then looks back up at Alf, trying his best to keep a good poker face, but can't resist cracking a sly grin before he and his manager walk off. Alf then reaches into the bin and pulls a container out, and looks at the number, cracking a smile of his own. ALF Yeah...we'll see who the punk is tonight. Alf starts to walk off, but stops and turns to Axel. ALF Speaking of which...you can't spell PUNK with PK. You tell your boy to be ready for AngleMania. Alf leaves the room as Axel looks on in disgust. *backstage, Thunderkid and Reject walk into the drawing room.* TK You ready for tonight? REJECT You kiddin'? I've been ready for THIS for months. TK Well, let's do this thing. TK pulls out a container, and opens it up as Reject pulls his out. TK's heart sinks when he sees his number, and a look of disbelief washes over his face. Reject opens his up, and puts his hand on his head, then pats TK on the back. REJECT Hey, you couldn't have done worse than me. TK No, I'm positive I did worse than you. Reject shows TK his number, and TK's expression suddenly improves, and he shows Reject his own number. Both men suddenly seem happy about their draws. REJECT This may not be so bad, after all. TK and Reject leave the drawing room.

Who are the other four PGs on your list?

I don't really think this is a big deal...it seems like he was talking in character to me. That said, anyone can get heel heat by mentioning a wrestler's death in a promo. It's starting to become the new "your sports team sucks", with MNM and Edge using it within the last year at least.

[i]Sweet Home Chicago[/i] hits and Jumbo makes his way down the aisle. BUFFER [i]The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the OAOAST Heartland championship! Introducing the challenger, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 440 pounds...JUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!![/i] COLE Well, Jumbo in the last month or so has changed his look, he's changed his attitude, and the fans have changed their outlook on the big guy as well! He's been very impressive in recent weeks, and now as a result has earned a shot at the Heartland title! COACH No doubt, Alf is facing a big challenge, and I do mean BIG, right here tonight! [i]Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon[/i] plays and Alf makes his way out to a big ovation. BUFFER [i]His opponent, weighing 245 pounds...former World Heavyweight champion, and the REIGNING, and DEFENDING, OAOAST Heartland champion...ALFDOGG!!!!![/i] Alf slides into the ring and takes the belt off, handing it to the referee. Jumbo attacks right away! *DING DING DING* COLE And the big man not wasting any time! Jumbo hammers Alf on the back, then whips him into a corner, following him in with an avalanche! COLE And Alf CRUSHED in the corner right there! Alf sinks down in the corner, then Jumbo picks him up and whips him to the other side. Jumbo charges...but Alf moves this time! Jumbo staggers, and Alf gets on all fours, and Jumbo falls backwards over him! Alf jumps on top of Jumbo, hammering him with right hands, then quickly goes up to the top rope. As Jumbo gets up, Alf drills him with a missile dropkick! COACH Great dropkick right there, and a quick cover! 1... 2..... Kickout with AUTHORITY as Jumbo pushes him 1/3 of the way across the ring! COLE It's going to take a lot more than that well-executed dropkick to keep this big guy down! Alf agrees with Michael, and slides out of the ring. Alf goes under the apron, and comes out with a kendo stick and a trash can! COLE And Alf's breaking out all the stops early here, Coach! Alf slides in and goes to the midsection of Jumbo with the stick, and then the back! Alf then places a knee to the back of Jumbo and starts to choke him with the stick! The referee places a count, and Alf releases at four. Alf gets up and drops a leg on the back of Jumbo's head! He rolls the big guy over and covers... 1... 2..... Kickout! COACH Not the authority on that kickout as we saw before, though! Alf gets Jumbo up, and tries to work him up onto the top rope. COACH What's he doing here? Alf, the Rumble's not for another three days! Jumbo is eventually set up in the corner, and Alf slides out of the ring, grabbing a TABLE and a trashcan lid! Alf slides the table into the ring, then jumps onto the apron and hits Jumbo over the head with the lid! He then gets into the ring and sets up the table before following Jumbo to the top rope. COACH He's not really going to try a superplex on this guy, is he? COLE It doesn't look that way, he may be looking to take Jumbo down with a Frankensteiner through that table! And Michael is right again, as Alf jumps onto the shoulders of Jumbo and attempts a hurricanrana, but Jumbo hangs onto him, staying on top. He then picks Alf back up, and then throws him down THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Alf rolls backwards on impact onto his front. COLE GREAT counter by Jumbo, and Alf could be out here, Coach! Jumbo slowly climbs down and pulls Alf out of the wreckage, then covers... 1... 2...... Kickout! Jumbo picks Alf up off the mat, then whips him into the ropes and catches him with a BIG BOOT to the face! Jumbo then backs up and measures Alf up, before dropping a big elbow! Cover... 1....... 2.............. Alf gets a shoulder up! COACH This could be a big upset right here, Cole! And could you imagine what this would do for Jumbo going into this Sunday to beat Alfdogg and take the belt off of him? COLE It would certainly do a lot for the big guy's confidence, no question about that! Jumbo delivers a vertical suplex to Alf, then rolls over for the cover... 1... 2....... NO! Alf gets the shoulder up again! Jumbo then sets Alf up on the ropes. COACH We saw the big guy use a superplex last week, will it get him the win here against Alf? Jumbo goes up to the second rope, and takes Alf to the mat with a SUPERPLEX~! 1... 2........ NO! Alf kicks out! COACH And much like Ric Flair, Alf just will not go away! COLE :headbang: Jumbo walks over and grabs the trash can which was brought into the ring by Alf. He waits on Alf to get up, and SLAMS it into his skull! COLE Look at the dent in that trash can! Alf is out of it! Jumbo signals for the end, then backs into the ropes and delivers the XL SPLASH~!!! COACH That'll do it, we're gonna have a new champ...wait a minute, what's Jumbo doing? Jumbo rolls off after hitting his finish, then goes to the outside and goes back under the apron. COLE Well, I thought Jumbo could have had the title wrapped up right there, but apparently he wasn't too sure about it! Jumbo brings a LADDER out from underneath the ring, and slides it under the bottom rope! COACH Well, he's definitely gonna make sure now, Cole! Jumbo whips Alf into the ropes, and gives him a powerslam! He then sets up the ladder next to him, and starts to make his way up on the other side as the crowd stands up in unison. COLE Oh, no. COACH Jumbo likes to call his big move the XL splash, I wonder how many X's you can add onto the front of this one? COLE Well, Alf may be able to tell us if this connects... Jumbo climbs up to the very top of the ladder, and quickly FLIES OFF... ...but Alf rolls out of the way, and Jumbo lands flat on the mat! COLE Big risk by the big man, and it DID NOT pay off! COACH But both men are out, Cole! And the question is, who will be able to recover and summon the strength to walk away with the gold? The referee starts to count. 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! Both men make it to their feet, and Jumbo delivers a weak right hand, which is returned by Alf! Jumbo with a second attempt, but Alf blocks and starts firing off rights! COLE It looks like it's going to be Alf, Coach! Jumbo goes to the eyes to break up the flurry. COACH No, what it looks like is that you spoke too soon, Cole! Jumbo whips Alf into the ropes, but Alf ducks a clothesline and hits a superkick! Jumbo falls into the ropes, and as he comes back to Alf, Alf with the momentum somehow manages to take him overhead with a belly-to-belly! COLE And Alf, I don't know how he did it, but he somehow got him over! COACH It was Jumbo's momentum coming off the ropes that did it, I think. Alf doesn't get the big man up from a standing position. Alf comes off the ropes, and takes Jumbo down again with a Hart Attack clothesline! He then grabs the trashcan, and goes up to the top with it, coming down on the head of Jumbo! Alf then goes to another corner, climbing the top as the fans rise with him...and hits the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 COLE Put it in the bag! 1........... 2................. 3!!!!!!!!!1 *DING DING DING* COACH Great effort by the big guy, but Alf does it again! BUFFER [i]The winner of the match...and STILL OAOAST Heartla...[/i] COLE WAIT A MINUTE! Buffer's announcement is cut off by Brock Ausstin sliding into the ring and flooring the worn out Alf with a clothesline! Brock then grabs Alf and tosses him over the top to the floor! COACH Again, could be a preview of this Sunday! Brock then walks over to Jumbo as Alf looks on from the floor. Brock picks up Jumbo...and DELIVERS AN F-STUNNER-5~!!!!!11111 COLE F-STUNNER-5 on the 440 pounder!!! Brock then stares down Alf, who is in the aisleway. Alf responds by raising his belt high overhead as the crowd cheers and [i]Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon[/i] plays.
