Not to nitpick, but this is false. He stopped at the entryway and held up the belt.

You mean Spanky/Brian Kendrick as the guy who teamed with London, right? Since Spanky usually teams with London and Kazarian quit, like, months ago. Yeah, that's it. Fixed

Dark match - Sylvan b. Funaki Velocity LOD b. Nunzio/Vito Hardcore Holly b. Simon Dean Kid Kash b. Scotty 2 Hotty London/Kendrick b. Regal/Burchill SD Backstage: Teddy Long announces four Team SD qualifying matches, denoted by a * (Batista is already a team member) Rey Misterio b. Randy Orton by DQ* Bob pulled Rey to the floor on the West Coast Pop attempt for the DQ, Orton beatdown ensued afterwards with Matt Hardy making the save and giving Orton the Twist of Fate. Backstage: Orton is mad about the Twist of Fate. MNM comes out and brings out some girl from America's Top Model, and Melina eventually slaps her around a bit before the Mexicools save. Bobby Lashley b. Orlando Jordan* Total squash. Backstage: Edge asks to get out of the street fight, and Teddy says he's OK with it, so long as Edge can personally talk Batista out of it. Eddie Guerrero b. Mr. Kennedy by DQ* Eddie was the biggest face of the night, but Kennedy's schtick was pretty over, too. Ref bumped in the corner, then Eddie grabs a chair, but the ref is getting up too fast, so Eddie smacks the mat with the chair, then tosses it to Kennedy and lays on the mat. Kennedy lays Eddie out with the chair after, drawing pretty good heel heat. Backstage: Edge and Lita talking, ending with Edge going off to see Batista and then the Boogeyman scaring Lita away. Juniors match with a masked guy and a non-masked guy. Palmer Cannon joins commentary. Masked man won with an elbow off the top. Typical midget comedy match. Backstage: Batista declines to step out of the match. Backstage: The Dicks promo, hyping debut next week against LOD. JBL b. Chris Benoit* Booker T came out as Benoit went up for the swandive and joined commentary. JBL took eight Germans throughout the match. At the end, Benoit had the Sharpshooter hooked, but broke it to attack Booker on the apron, then got hit with the Clothesline from Hell. Batista/Edge never happened, as Big Show and Kane came out and layed out Batista and all the faces from Velocity who ran in and tried to save. I guess Kane and Edge are now friends since it's RAW vs SD, or something. Off the air We didn't get the triple threat which was advertised on TV here, either, as Orton just came out and "apologized" to Batista for being late, and an impromptu match started, which saw Orton pound Batista for a couple minutes, only to get hit with a spinebuster and pinned. Eddie didn't look to be legit hurt after that chairshot, so I don't know why he was pulled from that.

It helps when your opponent doesn't show up the first week.

You're right, it was just lame flamebaiting posts. I was going to be a good sport and not say anything about the game last night, until I got on this morning and saw all the whining and excuse-making some of the people were making, so I felt I had to retaliate somehow. I'll probably get rid of the pic in the next day or so. I'm not giving you grief, I was just curious, like I said. I'd never seen you explain it before. You don't see me jumping on VitX or Matt Young, do you?

I didn't make the baby, just the quote bubble. Besides, when one cries that much, their face normally turns that color. Also, just curious, how does one become a Patriot and Yankee fan, both.

That's just a Trillian error. I get that shit all the time when it shuts down suddenly.

I see your message really sunk in, 2GOLD!

The fans in the stadium were booing, but other than that, I've yet to see anyone complaining about it.

Yeah, that was pretty nasty. But as usual, in the end, Vince Carter is an unclutch loser. Lawrence Frank was practically crying at the end of the game because of the lack of a foul call, but the refs are NEVER going to call that a foul in that situation.

Fastbreak's on in about five minutes here, so I'm sure I'll see it shortly.

How long has Flutie been on the Pats?

That's hilarious.

AFAIK, it was simply the old "he can't work WWE style" excuse.

Surprised at the choice of the late game for Friday night...I know it's the Pistons, the East champs, but I figured they'd go with NY/GS considering it would be Brown's first regular season appearance on national TV, as well as the All-Star PG matchup (Marbury/Davis).

After tonight, I'd have them at No. 3, with the Pistons leapfrogging both us and the Spurs.

A little late, I know, but these are the NBA power rankings from ESPN at the end of the preseason. 1. San Antonio 2. Indiana 3. Detroit 4. Houston 5. Miami 6. Denver 7. Dallas 8.

Toronto Again, this was before the season started.

Can I suggest this pic instead for Brady

Predictably, the Pacers follow up their huge win over the Heat in disappointing fashion, losing their home opener to Philly 111-109. Pacers turned it over 21 times (including EIGHT from Artest), and Philly shot 55% for the game.

Also, I was really impressed with Wally Szczerbiak tonight...a lot of people say all he can do is shoot, but it was his *defense* that kept Minny in it tonight, along with the usual brilliant outing from KG. But as usual, it's not enough for the Wolves.

Wow, Olowokandi is horrible. The Wolves deserve to miss the playoffs just for signing that big piece of shit to that kind of contract.

Excellent play by Garnett right there.

Jeff Hardy?
