    Pie-in-the-sky sounds pretty tasty right 'bout now...

    Bonnaroo 2006

    Many more good bands have been added thus far. Anyone else here bought a ticket yet?
  4. Jerry Kramer might be the most deserving guy not in the Hall.
  5. He was actually Filipino but took the name of the Mexican revolutionary when he began fighting. He beat the great Jimmy Wilde (who was coming out of retirement) for the flyweight title. He defended for 2 years with what is said to have been a very exciting style. In 1925 he had a wisdom tooth taken out then fouth Jimmy McLarnin in a fight where he took a bad beating around the mouth. Pancho Villa, the fighter, required surgery and died under anasthesia on July 14 1925. Villa the revolutionary died almost 2 years earlier to the day (July 20 1923). In my opinion, he deserves his legendary status as an early pioneer of the smaller weights but his career does not match up to those of Mark Johnson, Erik Morales, or Marco Antonio Barrera a couple weight classes up. Wikipedia appears to disagree with me and says that Pancho Villa died following surgery.
  6. John Steinbeck dropped out of college, I think.
  7. October 2001 sure was a long time ago.
  8. I dont think it worked too well when Goldberg went to the wwe and started working programs with already established guys. A lesson should have been learned there. It would be best to let Goldberg run with squashes for at least a months worth of programming, and a ppv squash of a decent guy before putting him into a serious feud.
  9. Yes, bob_barron, Im the only here having a few chuckles at his expense. My mom will yell at me later.
  10. No proof? Really? Did you know that there are other threads at TSM? Even a folder dedicated to the wwe?
  11. Gonna need some...Proof!
  12. I wish it was physically possible to be a fan of both the wwe and tna.
  13. A good Journalist can get around anything.
  14. Squashes have a lot more meaning when Goldberg is the monster.
  15. If they get Goldberg...they need to spend at least a couple months worth of shows with him just squashing lower-card people. That was obviously the wwe's biggest problem. After that they have a pretty wide choice of dream singles and tag team matches. I agree about him being able to help start house show business as well. Pay him to join a tour and either squash somebody in a feature match or particpate in a main event tag. It would sell plenty of tickets, and he might do it because hed be getting paid to win and work very little.
  16. Manny Pacquaio may fight Oscar Larios (which would be another classic) in May...in Manilla. It still looks like Pac-Morales 3 could be in September at Sam Boyd football Stadium in Vegas. -credit to fightnews It really is time that modern boxing entusiasts, writers, and talking heads start talking like some of these guys are true all-time legends of the sport. Just because they fight at the moment does not make them any less than other legends like Salvador Sanchez or Roberto Duran.

    Umphreys McGee and Disco Biscuits have been added. Presumably at least one (and possibly both) will have late-night sets.
  18. I really dont think that this blog was used (even in a roundabout way) to get more heat for Randy Orton. The only mentions of Orton were either complimentary or exposing of the cheap heat tactic itself. It clearly does nothing for Orton getting over as a heel. Not that the wwe knows how to get heat for Randy anyway...
  19. Jermoe Bettis is my nephew. And Im dyslexic.
  20. The refs were absolutely 100% perfect in that game. They were not unlike Jesus Christ Himself.
  21. Im moving to Baltimore tommorow. I hear cheap apartments can be found there.
  22. Why would Chris 'I can still kinda talk even though Im in a coma' Cruise care so much about Jim Ross getting his job back?
  23. Can that jackass James Frey be banned now as well?
  24. No uproar at TSM The divisional playoff thread would disagree with you.
  25. Its all about the wwe... Should everything about the wwe be in general folder too, since its not written by someone actually with the company?
