Burt Reynolds To Star In The Longest Yard Remake You know you are old when you star in the remake of a film you had starred in.... Burt Reynolds has signed on to star in the remake of The Longest yard. Reynolds starred in the original as well. He joins Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in the remake. The film is about a retired football quarterback who is forced to lead a group of inmates to victory while playing against the guards in an annual football game. Reynolds played the quarterback in the original film but will play the coach this time around. Credit: Variety

Maybe he's just a wacko who thinks he's Jesus ala David Koresh or something. So if that's the case who plays the part of Janet Reno?

And here's a question to build on that. What characters did you think did have sex? I think Zack and Kelly had sex a few times. And I'm sure Zack had sex with at least a few of his other girlfriends. I think Kelly had sex with Jeff once or twice. Slater I think has had sex to but, not with Jesse, she seemed like the type that would wait for marriage. Lisa I think has had sex once or twice. And, of course, Screech was/is a virgin and I doubt him and Violet did the deed. I bet they wanted to wait.

Reason Why WWE Pulled Goldberg's Jackhammer Another thing that didn't go right.... Goldberg recently spoke negatively about WWE for making him stop using his Jackhammer move at the end of his WWE stint. The reason that WWE made him stop using it was because many wrestlers complained that he was wreckless with the move. Credit: Torch Newsletter Details On WWE's New Mordecai Character Will likely be used as a jobber for the Undertaker.... As reported, WWE new Mordecai character will be played by OVW developmental wrestler Kevin Fertig. Many feel Fertig is very green in the ring but makes up for it in poise. Despite that, most feel he will just be used to job to the Undertaker. Credit: Torch Newsletter

I don't know if this is what you're talking about but, around '99-'00 Sting became a born again Christian and he told his wife about all the wild things him and Luger had done on the road. Sting's wife then told Luger's wife which led to Luger and his wife getting a divorce.

She's a good looking woman with tits. And as we've seem many times with the WWE more times then not that's what matters when they hire a female.

HA yeah right. It's because of Storm she's in the WWE.

Kurt Angle & Dawn Marie Interview Highlights Posted By Ashish on 04.30.04 More from TSN..... Credit: Adam Lebow TSN today posted the One-on-One interview that Michael Landsberg did with Kurt Angle. It really was one of the better OTR interviews they have done, and it was better than the last one they had with Kurt. While Kurt was on the set, TSN.ca/Wrestling did an interview with Kurt as well. Kurt went and talked more in-depth about his neck. Kurt basically says he can't feel his pinky figure right now. Angle also says wrestling a guy like Brock didn't help and his style in the 4 years he has been in the company as a top heel hasn't helped. However, he is happy that he did what he did. He says the fans really love Kurt, which is why he has the "You Suck" chants. He compares himself to Austin and says that the fans love Austin because he is the underdog that never accomplished a lot and hated his boss where in his life he had gone and actually did something with his life. In regards to his match with Guerrero at Mania XX, Kurt says it was really hard to have the match because he didn't want to hurt his neck more than it was, but it still was a 5 Star Match. He feels the finish of the match is what brought the fans back to the show after the Lesnar vs. Goldberg . He says the reason the fans hated the match because they felt betrayed that two of the top talents were leaving the company and Angle believes Austin should have said he was the third Man in the match, stun them both and cover them, as the fans would have enjoyed that more. However, the big news came when Kurt Angle CHALLENGED BRET HART for an upcoming WrestleMania Match, as that is his dream match. He says Bret is the very best ever and he has the most respect for him. Kurt wants to be considered among Bret as one of the best ever and the way to do that is to wrestle Bret. Kurt feels that would be the match that goes down as the best ever. Kurt says if Bret ever wants to come back for one match and can get his health and status back to a decent level, Kurt wants the match. WWE Diva Dawn Marie also did an interview with TSN.ca/Wrestling as she was in the Green Room at the OTR set. They begin with her transition from ECW to WWE. Dawn says she loved her ECW Character but she likes her new WWE Character as well as she has been able to show a new side as a character, performer and as a wrestler. Dawn says she likes the in ring competition and never realized how hard it was until she got in there. She always respected it but now she says she respects it 1000 times more because it is extremely challenging. She says she is upset she didn’t start in the ring from day one because she thinks she could have been better in ECW. She expects to be back on to TV soon now that she has been practicing in the ring and she would enjoy coming back on screen with Heyman but it doesn't matter to her who she works with because as a manager, her job is to show the strength of the talent. To make their weakness less noticeable. Dawn said that Paul's influence behind the scene is really helpful for the talent as you can go to him with any problem, such as a promo, and he will come up with something instantly. Dawn wasn't very happy at first about having to go over to Iraq to see the US Troops, and she felt guilty about it. However now she realizes what an amazing thing it was and how much good she did there, as it was the greatest experience of her life. She feels she is now a better person from going over to Iraq and being with the troops. Finally, Dawn talks about Lance Storm's retirement and she basically says she loves Lance Storm. It would take an hour worth of tape for her to talk about Storm. She says Lance is a wonderful person and friend, great work ethic and a good father and husband. She honestly believes that if she weren’t paired up with Storm in ECW, she wouldn't be in WWE. Storm took Marie by the hand, never talked down and always gave her confidence and advice. She credits her entire career basically to Storm and everything he has done for her.

And don't forget it also had the Renegade posing as the Warrior coming in the cage and get slapjacked by Stevie Ray before disappearing in a cloud of smoke and the real Warrior coming out. And, to top it off, Warrior INJURED himself when he jumped out of the cage to chase after Hogan.

I'm a huge Sting fan so I do want to see in the WWE. But, you just know that Vince would just love that get his hands on him and book him like shit and have him say things like how he always wanted to go to the WWE and how he hated WCW since Sting IS WCW.

Thank you. I love the Hurricane gimmick and I rather he not got back to he whole boy band thing. Or the cocky heel thing, which we have enough of in the fed.

You know if you're going to make fun of the WWE for rehiring someone that's had drug problems in the past you could say the same thing about Eddie.

Not to mention Marvel Comics.

I'd predict it would be a 3 1/2 to a 4 star shoot out. Which means it would be better then the Eddie/JBL match.

Goldberg To Return To The Ring At Next Hustle Event Steve Austin could be next.... Goldberg is set to make his return to the ring against All Japan Pro Wrestling Triple Crown champion Toshiaki Kawada at the next Dreamstage Entertainment/ZERO-ONE joint event called HUSTLE-3 at the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. Dreamstage is also in talks with Steve Austin about appearing at the event. Credit: PWInsider.com

Big Name Rappers To Appear At WWE Pay-Per View? Not to be confused with the wrestler who pretends to rap... There are rumors making their way through various west coast media outlets that the WWE may bring in some professional rap talent to perform with WWE star John Cena at the Judgement Day pay-per-view in Los Angeles on May 16. The rappers would be used in much the same pre-match fashion as Ice-T was during the Wrestlemania show in Anaheim, CA a few years back. A lot of names are reportedly being kicked around with Snoop Dogg & his 213 crew (Nate Dogg and Warren G.) and members of the Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mack 10 and WC) leading the way.

411's WWE Byte This Report: Storm, Cade, Jordan, Nitro The rookie edition, with *exclusive* news on Orlando Jordan! How could you resist? Hosts are Josh Matthews and special guest Rue! Str8 to Droz, who’s kickin in his two cents Segment One: Droz On what it’s like being a rookie in WWE, Droz says it’s definitely an experience. Being on the road takes an unbelievable amount of time, and there is a lot of pressure as well. Although he hasn’t yet seen Johnny Nitro wrestle, he is impressed with the current batch of WWE rookies, especially Garrison Cade. Droz remembers when he came in to the WWF to wrestle with the Legion of Doom, in his first match he managed to break one of the Harris Brothers’ nose. Billy Gunn helpfully informed him that he would need to wear an asbestos suit to protect him from the heat. Droz thinks it is tough being a rookie, but as long as you can take the ribbing, it’s definitely a good learning experience. Josh points out that although Rue is still a rookie; both he and Droz are seasoned veterans. Rue is having a great time, and believes she will always be a rookie, as she will always be in the learning process. And although the travel is hard, Droz doesn’t think Rue needs the beauty sleep. Droz leaves, but we are joined by… Segment Two: Lance Storm! Storm wonders why if this is a youngsters’ show that they are talking to him. On his recent retirement announcement, Lance says the issue has been in his head for a while, as he hasn’t been so happy with his recent progression in WWE and has also had some nagging back problems. He wanted to be able to contribute to a different role, and so is commuting to the OVW training facility in Louisville in order to train the WWE hopefuls down there. His schedule will not be as heavy as the current WWE touring, as he will go down on the Monday morning for about 12-13 days and go home the following weekend. With his schedule he should be able to contribute to both his website and his book club more. Storm found his final match in Calgary quite emotional, and thanks the crowd for being wonderful. Storm is fully able to train the wrestlers, and points out that he could keep wrestling if he had to. Although taking backs on his bumps four nights a week would not be so beneficial to his health, and as a trainer he could avoid this. He is excited about the next step in his career and recognises that he is good for the job, being one of the more technically sound wrestlers in the company. Steven on the phone asks about the reactions from Storm’s co-workers, especially Chris Jericho. He, as well as all the boys were very supportive as they knew it was what he wants to do. Storm’s thoughts on the Unamericans angle, and whether crossed the line? He thought they were close to the line, but that one week after the crowd derided them for attempting to burn the American flag, they were chanting ‘What?’ during the American national anthem. Storm enjoyed working with Dawn Marie, and pitched a number of ideas to try and reform them in WWE, but to no avail. He mentions that the original ECW paring of him and Dawn was only meant to be a one night thing, but that both he and Paul Heyman saw the chemistry that was there and decided to keep it going. Storm’s advice to the younger stars is to keep their mouths shut, their ears open, and then they could learn a lot. He heard Josh’s claim to be a veteran and keeps the cheeky youngster in check by pointing out that he has been wrestling for 14 years, while Josh is only 24 years old! Guess what, Orlando Jordan is scheduled! Segment Three: Johnny Nitro Although he hasn’t had any matches yet, it’s nice being in charge of things as Bischoff’s understudy. He has the power to make matches, and believes Mr Bischoff is the man, now Stone Cold’s gone. On his fellow Tough Enough winner Matt Capatelli, Nitro believes he is ready for WWE but thinks he will probably end up on Smackdown. John from Dallas wants to know if Nitro will be wrestling any time soon. He doesn’t know what’s in store at the moment, but hopes to. Although just being part of the product is fantastic. On all the name changes he went through, Blaze was his favourite, as he could think of a lot of fire references involving fire extinguishers and stuff. Unfortunately it was already trademarked by a clothes company, and he switched to Johnny Spade, which was a play on the name Johnny Ace. Fortunately he changed to Johnny Nitro soon after, after Bischoff’s old show. Nitro thought it was difficult going through Tough Enough, partly because everything was on camera. On his use of the Shooting Star Press, he reveals he used to break-dance and do a standing SSP, which was easy to translate to the wrestling ring. Becca asks if he was confident he would win Tough Enough. Although he knew he deserved to win, he was still shocked when he heard the result. There was no cockiness on his face when the result was announced. He doesn’t believe he gets any crap from the guys for not ‘paying his dues’. He thinks people pay their dues along the way as well, and that all of the guys would have taken the opportunity had they been in his situation. Johnny Nitro leaves. The forum monsters report that Josh was looking down Rue’s shirt. Good call guys! Segment Four: Garrison Cade It hasn’t been so hard for Cade as a rookie on RAW as he has been in the company, wrestling dark matches for 4 years and has built up a good relationship with the superstars. On the Coach situation, he’s known him for about a year, and about 2 months ago he mentioned something and it happened. He looks up to his trainer Shawn Michaels and would one day love to see a trainer vs. trainee match. He believes he got lucky being trained by HBK, and gave him a great start in the business. Cade was in every developmental territory save Puerto Rico, but OVW was the best. He thought it would be a better experience learning through dark matches, but OVW turned out really well. Eliza asked if Cade was inspired to do the elbow drop after Macho Man, to which Cade replies that he preferred the HBK version, a sit looked more athletic. A little known fact is that HBK could drop both the right and the left elbow. Jindrak moving to Smackdown caught them both off guard, but said they were both privately relieved as they are both singles wrestlers. He wanted to be a wrestler at the age of 6, but really thought it was a possibility when he got to high school. When HBK opened up a wrestling school, Cade knew what he had to do. Cade leaves, but joined by Segment Five: Orlando Jordan The O to the J is livin’ it up in Miami, and sounds like that drugged up James Brown video on ebaumsworld. WWE’s competitive and hard work, but he loves a challenge. On his inspirations, Orlando gives his mad propz to Flair, the Rock, Steamboat and Hogan. Jordan’s debut was at MSG. It was both a shocker and a reality check, and was just glad Taker helped him out. On his background, Orlando did amateur boxing as a kid, and then moved to amateur wrestling in Virginia. He also practiced Jujitsu. On whether he would pose for Playgirl, Jordan revealed it was one of his goals to get his wang out for the magazine and would love to do it. He thinks he has what it takes. Rue agrees and said she would buy the whole load of issues. Eric from California asks how it was to be trained by Rocky Johnson. Jordan said he feels like family, and is honoured to have been taken in. It’s hard to keep up the training and the eating regimens when you are on the road. Although he is lucky that he can get away with eating some of the stuff that he is not supposed to. Phoner George points out Orlando bears a resemblance to Samuel L Jackson, with no further questions, leading Josh to believe George will be buying the last few copies of Orlando’s Playboy issue. Jordan’s tattoo on his stomach means ‘wild cat’ and has deep significance to him. Jordan leaves after promising we’ll definitely see more of him over the next few weeks. Well, as long as it’s not his member, I think we’ll all be okay. Rue is kind of single, likes Josh, but not in that way, and Josh is in love with her. Next week is a legends show, with Bobby Heenan, Harley Race, and my absolute favourite person to recap – Howard Finkle! End of Show.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ch_body_armor_1 Scientists Working on Flexible Armor By BRIAN WITTE, Associated Press Writer BALTIMORE - Army scientists are working on a liquid body armor for clothing that stays flexible during normal use but can harden to stop a projectile when hit suddenly. Researchers hope the liquid could be used in sleeves and pants, areas not protected by ballistic vests because they must stay flexible. The liquid, hard particles suspended in a fluid, is soaked into layers of Kevlar, which holds it in place. Scientists recently had an archer shoot arrows at it to see how well the liquid boosted the strength of a Kevlar vest. "Instead of the arrow going through the Kevlar, it is completely stopped by the Kevlar vest and sometimes just bounces right off," said Norman Wagner, a University of Delaware chemical engineering professor who is working on the project. Vests treated with the liquid have also blocked stabs from an ice pick, and researchers are doing more tests to see if it can stop bullets or shrapnel, too. The project, which has been under way for about three years, is a joint venture between the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the University of Delaware's Center for Composite Materials. Eric Wetzel, a mechanical engineer who heads the project team for the Army lab, said a "shear thickening fluid" is a key component of the liquid armor. Hard particles are suspended in the liquid, polyethylene glycol. At low strain rates, the particles flow with the fluid, enabling clothing to stay flexible. But when heavily strained, the particles become rigid. "If it's impacted suddenly by a projectile or a knife, say, it rigidifies and somehow restricts the ability of the fabric to move," Wetzel said. The transition happens very quickly, a millisecond or quicker. Wetzel and Wagner are optimistic the liquid body armor will be useful to local police and prison guards and perhaps it could one day protect people in automobile and airplane crashes.

http://money.cnn.com/2004/04/29/pf/autos/olds_dead/index.htm Oldsmobile: Dead at 106 The last car from America's oldest car company rolls off the line in Lansing, Mich. April 29, 2004: 11:44 AM EDT By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNN/Money staff writer NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The last car from America's oldest car company -- an Oldsmobile Alero -- rolled of a Lansing, Mich., assembly Thursday morning. The death of the Oldsmobile -- a brand with sales that have dropped steadily in recent years -- marks the end of an era in American automaking. Olds says it was the first company to mass-produce cars -- not Ford -- and that it pioneered the use of chrome and automatic transmissions in American cars. The last Alero went to the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum, named for Ransom Eli Olds, who co-founded the Olds Motor Vehicle Company in August 1897. "Oldsmobile production has remained unprofitable and, therefore, GM's current planning is to end production with the 2004 models," General Motors, the world's biggest automaker, said in September 2001. The last 500 Aleros produced were painted metallic cherry red and carry special Final 500 markings. Special final edition versions of Oldsmobile's Bravada SUV and Silhouette minivan are also being offered by those Oldsmobile dealers that remain. The final edition Bravada has been a particularly hot seller, said Vince Peckens, sales manager at DeMaagd GMC, Nissan-Oldsmobile in Battle Creek, Mich. Peckens said his dealership will keep selling Oldsmobiles until there are no more left on the lot. That will probably happen by the end of the summer, he said. Curved Dash There are about 1,750 Oldsmobile dealerships still in operation, said Rebecca Harris, a GM spokeswoman. While the Alero will be no more, the Lansing plant will continue operating, producing the last 2004 model year Pontiac Grand Ams, a car fundamentally similar to the Alero. A new plant nearby will produce the 2005 Pontiac G6, a replacement for the Grand Am. Joined GM in '08 Oldsmobile was the second brand to become part of General Motors. The automaker, by then called Olds Motor Works, joined GM in November 1908, two months after Buick, according to General Motors historical information. Ransom E. Olds had left the company four years before that, dismayed that the company was turning toward manufacturing high-end cars in contrast to his own vision of building inexpensive cars for the masses, said Bob Casey, transportation curator for the Henry Ford Museum. He went on to found a new car company called Reo, for his initials, said Casey. That company stopped making cars in 1936 but continued for some time as a truck manufacturer. Under ex-GM CEO Alfred Sloan's vision of creating a ladder of brands that would allow buyers to step up to increasingly luxurious GM cars as their wealth increased, Oldsmobile became GM's mid-market brand, said Casey. It was positioned somewhere between the high-end brands like Cadillac and Buick and the more mass-market bands Chevrolet and Pontiac. Once GM (GM: Research, Estimates) began relying more on sharing components, and virtually entire cars, among different brands, Oldsmobile began to suffer from a loss of identity, said Ken Gross, an automotive historian and columnist for Old Cars Weekly. "It was the ultimate middle child," said Gross. Olds claims to be the first company to mass produce gasoline-powered automobiles, something that is often credited to Ford Motor Co. Ford (F: Research, Estimates) takes credit for having the first moving assembly line in 1913. According to historical information from GM, Olds' Curved Dash automobile was mass-produced in 1901. Whether or not that's true "depends on your definition of 'mass produce'," said Casey. Oldsmobile also claims to be the first to use chrome decoration on its cars. In 1926, the shiny metal plating was used on Olds radiator shells. It also claims the first cars with a fully automatic transmission, the Hydra-Matic, which debuted in 1940 models. The 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass W-30 4-4-2 convertible muscle car was named one of the most collectible American cars by auto auction company Kruse International in 2003.

Update On Future Of Steve Austin And GOLDBERG... Most in WWE are now also saying that Steve Austin will not be returning to the company soon. Many thought after Austin left that he would return soon. The general feeling now is that he could return for WrestleMania next year. Meanwhile, Austin and Goldberg appear to be in talks with Dream Stage Entertainment in Japan about working a match.

Oh brother. Question. Is anybody else sick of Foley cause I know I sure am.

Yeah at least with the old cast when they got jobs at the beach Belding wasn't there. But, with the New Class it seem the Belding and Screech went everywhere with them. They had summer jobs at the mall, they got jobs at a ranch, and there was another one were they were running a winter ski lodge and Belding and Screech were there. That was alittle to much.

Here's an idea how the keep everything from going stale. Don't do the 2 ppv's per month deal. With the way the market is now and the $40 price tag there is no way 15-18 are going to do well and from the same wrestling company. And if they do this they should have special In Your House type PPV's were they only cost $20 or do some kind of package deal were you two or more and get a discount.
