Thank you. Me too. I mean Tom Welling IS Superman. He's got the look and the acting down pat.

Simple. When Shockmaster made his debut on Flair For The Gold and tripped over and lost his helmet. I saw that live as it happened and I was laughing my head off and at the same time was wondering what the fuck was going on.

The hip-hop star was delighted to see so many famous faces at his MANSION gig, and publicly welcomed the likes of JESSICA SIMPSON and former CREED rocker SCOTT STAPP. But Combs soon regretted his offer to fight Hogan, for "$1 million to the winner". Former World Wrestling Federation (WWF) star Hogan rapidly responded to the rapper's proposal and ran toward the stage - forcing a frightened Combs to rescind the offer. _____________________________________ Also, Miami's WSVN channel, while covering the MTV Video Music Awards, mentioned that former WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan was involved in a minor car accident. Since he was at the show with his daughter, it is presumed that Brooke Hogan was also involved. The side of Hogan's white limo was hit right in front of the American Airlines Arena, but Hogan got out and offered, "We’re ok, brother". Credit: Contact Music, WSVN Miami

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5867717/ Brazil to appeal men's marathon results Attack on de Lima at end of race prompts officials to cry foul Brazil runner Vanderlei de Lima was attacked during the final stretch of the men's marathon on Sunday, prompting Brazil officials to plan an appeal on the result. ATHENS, Greece - Brazilian sports officials blamed inadequate course security for a defrocked priest’s bizarre attack on the Olympic marathon leader, and said Monday they will appeal to world track authorities for a duplicate gold medal. The criticism of Athens Olympic organizers, who have been praised for their overall security, came as former priest Cornelius Horan was given a one-year suspended sentence. Horan also was fined $3,600 and warned to stay out of trouble in Greece for the next three years. Carlos Arthur Nuzman, president of the Brazilian Olympic Committee, said marathoner Vanderlei de Lima should have been better guarded as he ran ahead of the field with about three miles to go Sunday night on the closing day of the Olympics. Horan jumped from the crowd and grabbed de Lima, knocking him into roadside spectators. De Lima continued running, but soon lost his lead and finished third. “It’s a big mistake. The moment you have a leader, you need to have two motorcycles together protecting him,” Nuzman said. “The athlete cannot pay for such a mistake.” Athens Olympic organizers could not immediately be reached for comment. Roberto Gesta de Melo, head of the Brazilian track federation, said an appeal will be filed in about a week with the International Association of Athletics Federations seeking a gold medal for de Lima. An IAAF race jury rejected a similar appeal Sunday night, saying it sympathized with the Brazilian but could not change the result. “It’s something not usual, of course, but some decisions have been done like that before,” de Melo said, referring to the request for a duplicate gold medal. “I think it would be a gesture of fair play.” Brazilian officials emphasized they have no intention of taking medals away from champion Stefano Baldini of Italy or runner-up Meb Keflezighi of the United States. They said they will appeal to the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport if the IAAF does not agree to the second gold medal. Horan has a history of disrupting sports events and was convicted by a three-member misdemeanor court of violating Greece’s laws on extracurricular sports, which usually are used for soccer hooligans. He was expected to return home to London. Horan, 57, was wearing a green beret, red kilt and knee-high green socks when he pushed de Lima. The former priest had a piece of paper attached to his back bearing the message: “The Grand Prix Priest Israel Fulfillment of Prophecy Says the Bible.” Horan, in a costume similar to Sunday’s, ran onto the track at the British Grand Prix last year and stayed there for more than 20 seconds, forcing Formula One racers traveling at more than 200 mph to swerve around him. He was carrying a sign that said: “Read the Bible — the Bible is always right.” British authorities said Horan also attempted a protest on Wimbledon’s center court during a rain break, and tried to disrupt cricket and rugby matches. De Lima said he might have won the gold medal if Horan hadn’t grabbed him. Though the Brazilian harbors no resentment toward Horan, he said the suspended sentence may not be enough to deter the former priest from future antics. “This means he will probably do this again and get killed, as in Formula One, or kill someone,” de Lima said. © 2004 The Associated Press.

I say depending on how long Edge is out they could pull out the old haven't defending the belt in 30 days and is stripped of the title rule. And at the next RAW they have have Jericho vs Batista in some kind of gimmick match, like a hardcore match or a 2 out of 3 falls match. Or at the PPV they can do a one night tournment for the IC belt and have Jericho and Batista wrestle in the finals.

http://entertainment.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=167641 Cartoon Net Lures Hip Viewers The Associated Press ATLANTA -- Talking meatballs and bumbling sea explorers may have made the Cartoon Network's late-night cartoon lineup a monster hit among the young and hip. But some of its popularity is owed to a trendy corps of college students enlisted to market the network's "Adult Swim" cartoons on campuses nationwide. They come from 30 campuses to the network's Atlanta headquarters each August for some cartoon-marketing training before the start of their fall-semester classes. These students are culled for being business-savvy but not the typical khaki-wearing business student. Their job: Making cartoons cool for peers who likely had ignored them since elementary school and probably associated Cartoon Network with baby-sitting, not TV nights at the frat house. Now, three years after they started, "Adult Swim" cartoons are often ranked No. 1 in their basic cable time period — Saturdays through Thursdays, 11 p.m.-5 a.m. EDT — among both adults aged 18-to-34 and men aged 18-to-24. Shows such as "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" — about a talking meatball, milkshake, and box of fries — regularly beat network late-night comedy shows in the ratings among young people. Cartoon Network executives say the college marketing program, mostly made up of sponsored drinking parties at hot college bars, had a significant hand in creating buzz for the quirky, sometimes hilariously absurd, block of cartoons. Greg Heanue, a Cartoon Network executive in charge of marketing "Adult Swim," explained the tactic as he weaved around 60 college students pouring into the network's colorful Atlanta offices where many of the cartoons are written. "College towns aren't the biggest markets, but if you get kids talking about something there, you eventually get everybody," Heanue said. "Take a town like Norman, Okla. Not a big market. But the whole state of Oklahoma goes through there. You seed the college towns, you get the whole state." The students swarmed, slack-jawed, around the offbeat office — foosball tables, life-size mascots of the "Aqua Teen" characters, employees slouching around in ripped jeans and black T-shirts. They gathered on a few beat-up couches to hear cartoon creators talk about how they got started and watched clips from a few shows that aren't out yet. Then they all headed to a dingy bar for more chatting with Cartoon Network employees before a weekend of training in selling the shows to their peers. "It is sooooo much fun," said Barrett Darnell, a 20-year-old Washington State University student who's starting his second year as an "Adult Swim" marketer. Last year he threw viewing parties and got some cartoon T-shirts thrown from the stage at a campus Cypress Hill concert. This year's plans include a pub crawl and poster giveaways. "We give out so much free stuff. Everyone loves it." Another returning marketer, University of Kentucky senior Shreenah Willis, went from trying to draw crowds to her Cartoon Network parties to fending off advances for more "Adult Swim" giveaways. "Everyone on campus knows I'm the 'Adult Swim' girl. It makes you pretty instantly popular," Willis said. Guerrilla marketing at campuses isn't new, but it's worked especially well for Cartoon Network, said Sean Sheridan, a marketing expert for Philadelphia-based Campus Party Inc. Sheridan advises big companies how to sell to college students, although he's never worked for Cartoon Network. "I'm not surprised they've done so well. Lettermen and Leno, they're funny, but come on, they're old men," he said. "Those shows, they're sort of formulaic, reminiscent of the old Johnny Carson show. And you're not talking about a show like their parents watched. Those are shows just like their grandparents watched." Beyond working to spread buzz about "Adult Swim," the college marketers have helped the network's ad salesmen, who are used to selling TV spots for toys and children's breakfast cereals, not products geared toward young adults. Last spring the network sent disposable cameras to all the college marketers and instructed them to take a list of 48 pictures: Take a picture of your freezer, your closet, the inside of your car's trunk, stuff like that. What they got back was raw data they could use to take to advertisers interested in a young demographic with photographic evidence of what products those consumers buy, eat and use. "It's been a great learning tool for us," Heanue said. Advertisers noticed, more young people started watching, and the night cartoon block is now the darling of the network. "We're sort of cresting right now," said Dave Willis, a co-creator of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." "Two years from now, they might be totally over us, we'll be stupid. But right now, it's a good time." The students nodded. "I'm more and more shocked how many people know about 'Adult Swim,'" said Jack Nelson, a University of Georgia senior studying economics who is in his second year as a Cartoon Network marketer. "At first it was a cult thing. Now it's everyone on campus."

I heard that too, but never knew what the beef was or why? Did Torrie say something to her coming in? I guess "Women are catty" wouldn't be the appropriate response. -=Mike Speaking of the women I remember Chyna had heat with a few of the women's wrestlers, one of the main ones being Trish. Cause of comments that Chyna said about being to big for the women's belt and how she was a better wrestler then any of them. Or something to that effect.

Really. I didn't get to watch all of it but, what I saw reminded me of Razor and the vignettes he use to do before he came in to the WWF.

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/a...bit_branigan_24 'Gloria' Singer Laura Branigan Dies at 47 Sun Aug 29,11:03 AM ET By MADISON J. GRAY, Associated Press Writer NEW YORK - Laura Branigan (news), a Grammy-nominated pop singer best known for her 1982 platinum hit "Gloria," has died. She was 47. Branigan died of a brain aneurysm Thursday in her sleep at her home in East Quogue, said her brother Mark Branigan. He said she had complained to a friend of a headache for about two weeks before she died, but had not sought medical attention. "Gloria," a signature song from her debut album "Branigan," stayed atop the pop charts for 36 weeks and earned her a Grammy nomination for best female pop vocalist, the first of four nominations in her career. She also made television appearances, including guest spots on "CHiPs," and in the films "Mugsy's Girls" and "Backstage." Branigan released seven albums after her debut "Branigan," including "Solitaire," "Self Control," and "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," which was co-written with Michael Bolton (news). Her songs also appeared on soundtracks for the films "Flashdance" and "Ghostbusters." Branigan was born July 3, 1957, and grew up in Brewster, N.Y. She attended the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. During the late 1970s, she toured Europe as a backing vocalist for Canadian singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen. She signed as a solo artist with Atlantic Records in 1982. After her run of success in the 1980s, her releases in the early 1990s attracted little attention. In 1994, she sang a duet with David Hasselhoff (news) called "I Believe" for the soundtrack of the television show "Baywatch." She released a 13-track "Best of Branigan" LP the next year. After the death of her husband, Lawrence Kruteck, in 1996, Branigan stopped performing but returned to the stage in 2001. In 2002 she starred as Janis Joplin in the off-Broadway musical "Love, Janis," which earned her rave reviews. Branigan recently had been working on material for a new release. She is survived by her mother, two brothers and a sister. Funeral services were scheduled for Monday.

Well there was an issue of Weapon X were Sinister was looking for some of Peter's DNA so he could make a clone of him for whatever reason. So, maybe that's how he came back.

I think it was mainly to advance storylines. Heel A talking with Heel B. Babyface A walks in and attacks Heel A. Heel B attacks Babyface A, setting up a feud, and moving Heel A into another feud. Yeah I think it was to. Remember Perfect had a feud with HBK for the IC title at Summerslam and lost the feud badly. Man did Perfect have a shitty run as a face. It started off pretty good with him leaving Bobby and Flair and having the tag match at SurSer and the feud with Flair but, afterwards it's just seemed to bomb. I guess cause the me and, I'm sure alot of other fans, Perfect made a far better heel and a so-so face.

WWE Superstars, Students, Elected Officials To Debate Bush, Kerry Responses To National Voter Issues Paper For 18-to 30-Year-Olds In Live National Debate World Wrestling Entertainment® and University of Miami to Present Debate on Wednesday, September 29, at the University of Miami STAMFORD, Conn., Aug 26, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The voices of 18-to 30-year-old Americans will be heard at a presidential debate eve forum sponsored by WWE's Smackdown Your Vote! ®, a non-partisan campaign that has pledged to increase voter turnout of 18-to 30-year-olds by 10 percent in this election, and the University of Miami. The first-ever Smackdown Your Vote! Debate will be held at the Gusman Concert Hall on the University of Miami Coral Gables campus, on Wednesday, Sept. 29, the night before the first in a series of debates between President George Bush and Senator John Kerry. The debate is being produced by the WWE in consultation with the Commission on Presidential Debates. Current WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield and WWE Superstar and New York Times best selling author Mick Foley will be among those participating. Other participants, including students and elected officials, will be announced in mid-September. The Smackdown Your Vote! Debate will focus on the answers given by President Bush and Senator Kerry to The 18-30 VIP, the first ever national voter issues paper presented by WWE and its Smackdown Your Vote! partners. The 18-30 VIP covers issues important to young Americans of voting age - such as the economy, Iraq, and education -- as determined by research conducted by various organizations, including Harvard University. Organizations that support the VIP are the Harvard Institute of Politics, MTV's Choose or Lose, the League of Women Voters, Rock The Vote, New Voters Project, Hip-Hop Team Vote, 18to35, Declare Yourself, Youth Vote Coalition, The University of Virginia Center for Politics, Close Up/First Vote, George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management, and the National Council of LaRaza.

"Younger Americans have some excellent ideas on how to address the issues important to them, which we want to bring out in this debate," said McMahon. "More importantly, we want this debate to inspire more 18-to 30-year-old Americans to vote in this election so that lawmakers at the federal and state levels, when they take office in 2005, will pay more attention to addressing the issues important to this age group." The WWE and the Smackdown Your Vote! partners have set the goal of getting 20 million 18-to 30-year-olds to the polls in November, an increase in turnout of two million, or 10 percent, for this age group from the 2000 elections.

[Credit: WWE.com] WWE Becoming Like A 'Police State', Note On Chris Nowinski So many rules, you would think wrestling is an actual sport As previously reported, WWE management has a strict policy that no WWE wrestlers are to get near or even socialize with the Raw Divas candidates in or out of arenas. Management wants to avoid any personal issues causing problems or even legal complications should the winner be involved with a wrestler at the time she wins. Along with the dress code, in-ring rules they're to follow as far as their match style (making Kurt Angle take less risks for example), and Vince McMahon's pep talk a couple weeks ago telling wrestlers there is no room for them to ask for any days off until business turns around has led to a feeling in some circles of the locker room that WWE has become a bit of a police state. This will probably affect morale in the locker room. This Friday at the Minnesota State Fair, Christopher Nowinski appears at 4 p.m. at the secretary of state booth in the Education Building to sign autographs and promote registration and voting as part of the WWE's "Smackdown Your Vote!" Initiative. Credit: Wade Keller, PWTorch.com

WWE News: Upset Staff, Tough Enough, Injury, More Some WWE news items.... - Many of WWE's backstage staff, including members of the production team, are not happy with the fact that WWE is cutting costs (ie not giving them any raises or bonuses) while expecting them to work long hours. Many of these people came to WWE because it was their dream to work for the company and thus accepted lower salaries, but now are considering other options. With Vince & Linda McMahon increasing their pay each year, many are upset. This has led to many of WWE's backstage workers leaving the company over the past few months.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/08/21...ters.killed.ap/ Thoughts? Well they better start charging people who drop cigarettes on their carpets when they fall asleep and then a firefighter dies when putting out the flames with murder also. I dont think the fact that he was growing pot in his closet makes him a murderer. The fire was allegedly caused by tangled wiring (and probably overloaded outlets). Lots of people have overloaded outlets in their homes that cause fires every year. I never heard of any of them being charged with a crime.

Injury Updates On Angle, Guerrero, Dudley How are they feeling? Kurt Angle is said to be feeling okay since his return to action from neck pain. He is changing his style to take fewer bumps and to have his matches be more grounded and emphasize storytelling. Everyone in the company realizes that Angle's neck just can't take the rigors of the consistent pounding style that he has worked in the past and that he has to change the way he approaches his matches if he wants to prolong his career. This was evident from his match with Eddie Guerrero at Summerslam. Speaking of Guerrero, his hamstring is said to be feeling better too. He worked some long matches over the weekend with Angle and did not feel any pain. D-Von Dudley was having issues with elevated blood pressure at the house shows this weekend. He has had problems with his blood pressure in the past. Credit: Dave Scherer, PWInsider.com
