I want Rollie Fingers' mustasche when I grow up.

Kane also had to win at KotR '98 because of the 'edgy' booking of him burning himself alive if he lost. I dont think Ill ever be more shocked by a title change than actually seeing HHH tap out for Benoit at WMXX.
-
Cena was the first one that came to my mind after reading some of the recent retarded posts in the wwe folder. I dont recall JJ ever having any actual heat one way or the other.
-
Yep, 15 wins and hes not an ace pitcher.

You know Doink will be showing up soon...

HHH and Ric Flair's return date to TV announced
snuffbox replied to algrim's topic in The WWE Folder
Hasnt Benoit been getting standing ovations after all his matches lately? Didnt that lead to a world title push even after some jobs before? -
Maybe Sean Hannity can take a network job now eh Vyce? Fucking idiot.

HHH and Ric Flair's return date to TV announced

Hulk Hogan did pretty well back in the day with about the same workrate as Cena. And, really, HHH hasnt been much if any better in-ring than Cena the past few years. The big difference between HHH and Cena is that one is actually capable of making money. -
Will Kane be wrestling Edge in an Indian Strap Match?

HHH and Ric Flair's return date to TV announced

The audience seems to actually enjoy Cena despite how terrible he often is. HHH is also pretty boring on the mic and working, but the crowd turns silent when hes around. But hey, if you like watching the same tired routine over and over than HHH is your guy. Maybe your right, Maybe we were all wrong and its perfect time for another couple years of HHH squashes. -

Yeah...its about time to start the long overdue HHH/Flair era. -
Dontrelle Willis is definitley an ace pitcher...and hes still not at his peak yet. Kudos to Al for the Yankees line and a great list of some underrated pitchers that people are unfortunately missing out on. Baseball is a great game and its always sad when folks cant see the exciting forest beyond the Boston and New York trees. And, its pretty cool to see the Milwaukee Brewers at .500 in August after finally winning a series in Philly.

I dont own any of his music or seek it out any time...but he clearly was amazing back in the day. My favorite song is 'Billie Jean'.

Great, that means most football players sell out too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Football players can switch teams under the table while under contract? When did free agency end?
-
So would you say, Rudo, that nobody has ever really 'beaten' Royce?
-
I remember when he came back for SummerSlam '99 (when he was Governor of MN) he announced a match on Raw. Still awesome then. He cant be too busy these days...
-
Id want to book WCW from January '91 on. I would definitly keep Flair around...his WWF run proved he still had it. Flairs departure about killed WCW and his return in 1993 saved it. Just imagine that roster that they had in '92 plus Flair still on top of his game.
-
Shut the fuck up...thats nothing for you to speculate about goddamnit!
-
No shit...like that second game late last year when the Bears sacked Favre like 9 times. Er wait, that was the Green Bay defense that did that. The Packer D might be pretty weak...but the Bears havent become superheroes just yet.

Here is an article at espn.com Dan Rafael is reporting that Castillo-Corrales II could be set for ppv in October. Also possible, 2 exciting rematches on the undercard. I can only hope this proves true... http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/ne...tory?id=2095883 By Dan Rafael ESPN.com Diego Corrales and Jose Luis Castillo, who waged one of the greatest fights in boxing history on May 7 in Las Vegas, are poised to return there for a fall rematch. They will meet Oct. 8 at the Thomas & Mack Center on Showtime PPV pending completion of a buyout of an option that promoter Artie Pelullo holds on Corrales' next fight. It should be completed this week. "When a fight takes the whole boxing public and general sports fan's attention, it demands consideration for an automatic rematch," Top Rank president Todd duBoef, Castillo's promoter, told ESPN.com on Monday. "Therefore, we have been compelled to pursue the possibility of doing this in October. I think the economics and the public demand for it should not hold back the fight from happening. There's been overwhelming demand for a rematch. We're excited about it." Corrales (40-2, 33 KOs) and Castillo (52-7-1, 46 KOs) went toe-to-toe in a lightweight unification bout that left those who saw it in awe of its brutality. In a two-way pitched battle, Castillo finally knocked Corrales down twice in the 10th round before Corrales, badly hurt and his left eye nearly swollen shut, launched an improbable rally and stopped Castillo. There was also an element of controversy over the 10th round, when on each knockdown Corrales spit out his mouthpiece. It cost him a point but gave him valuable recovery time. The fight was immediately hailed by fans and media as an all-time great bout on the same level as revered classics such as Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier III, Aaron Pryor-Alexis Arguello I and the Erik Morales-Marco Antonio Barrera, Riddick Bowe-Evander Holyfield and Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward trilogies. Although Castillo said he wanted an immediate rematch and Corrales said he was also open to one, it looked as though it might have to wait. Pelullo, Corrales' co-promoter, exercised an option 10 days ago that bound Corrales to a rematch with Acelino "Popo" Freitas. Corrales stopped Freitas, Pelullo's franchise fighter, in the 10th round last August. But because Pelullo gave Corrales the shot at then-titleholder Freitas, he became a partner on Corrales' next two fights with promoter Gary Shaw. Pelullo and Shaw co-promoted the first Corrales-Castillo bout along with Top Rank. Now, Shaw and Top Rank's Bob Arum are finalizing a buyout of the option, which will allow Corrales to fight Castillo again. "I have been approached to reconsider the rematch between Acelino Freitas and Diego Corrales in order for Corrales to have a rematch with Castillo, which I had to honor of being one of the promoters of their first fight," Pelullo told ESPN.com. "If we can work everything out, which I think we will, it will allow Diego to pursue further glory by knocking out Castillo for a second time." In the meantime, Freitas is fighting in his home country of Brazil on pay-per-view in July. And then we'll take one step at a time. Initially, Corrales' team expressed concern that because the May fight was so brutal, perhaps they should not fight again. At the post-fight press conference, Joe Goossen, Corrales' trainer, said, "They should never fight again. It's too much." But money talks. Showtime has already completed its deals with Arum and Shaw, and Arum has secured a site fee in the $3 million to $4 million neighborhood from Las Vegas hotel magnate Steve Wynn, who recently opened the Wynn Las Vegas resort on the Vegas strip, and Harrah's. Corrales earned $525,000 and Castillo $300,000 for their first meeting. They will both earn substantially more the second time around. Besides an anticipated rematch in the main event, the undercard is expected to also feature a pair of rematches of all-action fights from this year: # A flyweight sequel between Jorge Arce and Hussein Hussein. Arce won their bloody first bout on a 10th-round TKO in the co-feature on the March 19 Erik Morales-Manny Pacquiao card. # A junior lightweight rematch between former titlists Jesus Chavez and Carlos Hernandez, who waged a sensational fight May 28 on the undercard of the Julio Cesar Chavez-Ivan Robinson bout. Chavez won a split decision in a fight that begged for a rematch. Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com.
