Slaughter was taking Jim Neidhart's place...the angle was that he was injured, I'm not sure why he was really out. There may or may not have been a replacement on the other team as well (Col. Mostafa's). I also clearly remember Sid falling into the Savage-Roberts equation somehow and actually being the captain for the Bossman-LOD team at one point. Someone can probably explain this better than I can though. I have a question as well. At Starrcade 90, there was a match between Michael Wallstreet and Terry Taylor, with the angle being that Wallstreet would beat Taylor in a certain amount of time given by his computer. He ended up beating him with like a minute and a half left, as opposed to TV title matches where it would go down to end with near falls and such...was there a reason for this? Did someone get hurt or something?

That was Jim Herd. Dusty and Ric got along. I forget if it was in one of SK's books or RD Reynolds wqrestle crap book, but one of them said it was Dusty's idea to have Luger taken out before the match, and have Steiner sub for him and beat Flair in 5 minutes. Flair threatened to quit on the spot unless it was changed. Forgot to mention Rhodes/Flair rarely got along on certain matters like who so-and-so should put over, and Rhodes was blamed for it. I'm pretty sure it was Keith's book. I think it also said Flair was close to jumping to the WWF over it. Herd actually *vetoed* all this, and gave Flair Dusty's job as booker, IIRC.

WHOOSH~ At least, I assume it means something if you bumped a thread that's been dead for two days to post it...

Bring back the pirate.

Olympic stuff

Was that Scottie Pippen's wife sitting next to him?

I know that. I just don't see Shaq keeping up this effort for long...and they need him to if they have any hope at all of winning.

It's more insurmountable than it sounds. LA still has to take 3 of 4 from the Spurs...two in San Antonio. It's a little interesting now, but I still say SA wins in 5 or 6.

Shut up and go play with your chopsticks, Ripper.

And the right nationality. He's not Australian, he's Canadian.

No. Once you get to 20,000, you automatically go back to 0.

That doesn't even make sense.

That was quite unnecessary.

So it's somewhere between 28 and 32, then...

13 to go...

Let me guess...you finally got laid? Congratulations~!

Have a good one, Slim. Slim gets presents on Mother's Day. Lucky bastard.

CWM heads off to pick up his girlfriend from work:

Here I've already got $5 down on it for GC...I'll have it on June 23, when it's released at GameStop (FuncoLand, Babbages, etc) stores in Indianapolis. Discuss.

Two, actually.

Michael Jackson - Dirty Diana

No you don't.

But...CWM said he didn't have a picture on the internet...

Umm...nothing, obviously.
