Okay... That particular type of death would have been prevented. That better?

How is it a dumb argument? Bret HAD a 20-year contract with a creative control cause. If he could keep Owen & Bulldog from dropping the tag titles at WM13, he could surely keep Owen from going back to the Blue Blazer and thus keep him from doing anything where he comes out of the rafters. And I never said Bret got anything over on Vince, I was just pointing out what I thought may have happened had Bret stayed.

And with NEW LEVELS~! I read about it in some magazine at Wal-Mart. I think it's set for winter, but don't quote me on that. Rest assure, though, that I will run out and buy it the minute it hits the stands. Also, if you haven't heard (but you probably have, it was in the June issue of Game Informer), there will be a new Mario Kart game released this winter, called Mario Kart Double Dash. You can play it with up to 8 players (I don't know how anyone could get eight people together to play Mario Kart, though), but you need two TVs and two Gamecubes linked together for that. There are two players in the cart, and it seems a lot more challenging than the other MK games.

I'm too tired to brainstorm too much on this, but I think that whether Bret left or not, they would have made just as big money with the Austin deal. He was still getting the title, just from Bret instead of Shawn, before all that stuff happened. (Remember when they used to plan things ahead more than a week at a time?) Plus, Owen would still be around...no way Bret would have let Russo put him back in the Blue Blazer gimmick, IMO.

Booker's face turn... From a mark's standpoint, I wasn't so much surprised *that* it happened, I was surprised *how* it happened, because I surely thought it would happen with Booker beating the everloving shit out of X-Pac. But from a smark's standpoint, I could definitely expect it happening the way it did with the Clique being involved. Other than that though, it would probably have to be Austin at WMX7.

Christian cut his hair? Damn, it HAS been a while since I've watched...

Yeah! CALL BARRY DARSOW~!

Liar~!

With Sabonis likely retiring, that trade could work out great for Portland. Martin is more of an inside presence than Wallace, IMO (although Wallace is still better all-around), and this would also allow Bonzi to become more of a scorer and maybe the star of the team (I'm hoping since he's from Muncie, which is about 1/2 hour from my hometown ). As far as Odom goes, attitudes aside, I'd take him over Butler anyday. I don't know about him and Wade, though.
