#1: Yao Ming: Frustratingly inconsistent. Traded. #2: Pau Gasol: Underrated, but simply didn't score enough. Traded. #3: Ron Artest: A risk that payed off since he kept his temper in check. Traded, but begrudginly. #4: Lamar Odom: Played like crap at the begining of the season, so I dropped him. As soon as I do that, he starts playing ball. Motherhusser. #5: Tony Parker: Started the season on IL, solid point guard but didn't provide enough in the stats category all around. Traded. #6: Damon Stoudamire: A lot better then I planned on him being, leading my team in assists. Only person on my team whom I haven't moved. #7: Darko Milicic: Stupid Larry Brown. Waived. #8: Jamaal Tinsley: Wasn't playing at the begining of the season. Waived, but reacquired in a trade. #9: Vin Baker: Good when he was sober. Waived. I managed to draft enough #2-#3-ish guys, but was just lacking all around. That I started the season with three people who weren't playing didn't help. For fun: everyone who has been on my team at some point during the year: Yao Ming, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Tony Parker, Damon Stoudamire, Darko Milicic, Jamaal Tinsley, Vin Baker, Robert Horry, Jerome Williams, Derek Fisher, Charlie Ward, Jeff McInnis, Jeff Foster, Damon Jones, Ronald Murray, Bo Outlaw, Michael Finley, Devean George, Jermaine O'Neal, Tayshaun Prince, Earl Boykins, Dion Glover, Brian Grant, Darius Miles, DeShawn Stevenson, Kwame Brown, Penny Hardaway, Raja Bell, Maurice Taylor, Howard Eisley, Speedy Claxton, and possibly Voshon Lenard.

Watch Playmakers much? Don't forget the buying drugs at halftime minigame.

Well, I've signed up for it, under the idea that if I'm dumb enough to take lighttubes, I'm dumb enough to get myself into kissing strangers. And if they suck/are fugly, I'll smack them with a lighttube.

Vega (claw) (Street Fighter) Ken Masters (Street Fighter) Iori Yagami (King of Fighters) M. Bison (Street Fighter) Akuma (Street Fighter) Ryu (Street Fighter) Rugal Bernstien (King of Fighters) Terry Bogard (Fatal Fury) And a hearty "fuck you" to whoever matched up Gouki and Sagat for this round. You fuckass.

The Dr. is wrong, folks. And what a surprise, Mole manages to choose another wrong answer. If he does something right, call the Times, because it will certainly be news-worthy.

I could hug you.....

Urge to kill......rising.

www.backseatweb.com The BackSeat Manifesto I was out getting a drink after work. I went to the Happy Hour at the Berwyn Tavern where Trent Acid and Johnny Kashmere bartend. Trent served me my drink and Johnny was on the phone with State Athletic Commissioner Frank Talent. I didn't hear all of the conversation but I definitely heard Johnny tell him that both he and Trent were officially finished all business with CZW and John Zandig. The commissioner was very upset about this decision and said he'd get to the bottom of it all. So I had to finally ask Trent and Johnny what in the hell was going on here, and here's their side of the story....... To sum it all up for the sake of time, Johnny and Trent have indeed as of 2/3/04 resigned from CZW. Both expressed that they would miss CZW very much and were thankful for their time there, but have not been at all happy with recent business actions as well as booking changes within the company. The BackSeats were scheduled to appear on the upcoming 2/7/04 CZW show and the 2/7/04 World One show against Rebel's Army in a 6-8 minute opener. Zandig went to the World One office and used his leverage with the building and license to have The BackSeats removed from the show. You may remember, Zandig used the same "blackballing" tactics with Justice Pain when he left the company early last year, however the BackSeat Boyz can hardly be put in a category with Justice Pain as they have remained loyal to CZW for over five years. This is now taking TWO paydays out of the pockets of both Johnny and Trent. Johnny and Trent have served as "good-will ambassadors" for CZW in the past and have been responsible for a lot of the talent that was brought there through the years. Talent such as SAT, Nick Mondo, Red, John House, WifeBeater, Nick Berk, Ty Street, Justin Credible, Tony Devito, Eric Garguillo, Adam Flash, Tony Mamaluke Homicide, Dan Maff and probably a few others were all brought in through the BackSeat Boyz. I then asked them if they would make any announcement about the CZW awards ceremony set to be held at their 2/7/04 show and they had this to say: "We have been made aware from the CZW office and John Zandig that we are slated to win a few awards at the next event. [These awards are for Best Tag Team, Wrestler of the Year (Trent), Mic Work of the Year (Johnny), Fued of the Year (Hi-V vs. Zandig, and Match of the Year (2003 Cage of Death)]. We want to take this rare opportunity to thank all of our supporters. It is overwhelming to see that the fans enjoy watching us wrestle and we thank god that we remain healthy and safe. These awards really do mean a lot to us because if we didn't have our fans we'd just give it all up. We don't get a chance to really express our appreciation to our fans (because we're usually yelling at them )so we just want to say THANK YOU now because we wont have the privlege to do so this Saturday night."----Johnny and Trent I dug a little deeper and Kashmere explained that he attempted to contact John Zandig for over two weeks and he will not answer his calls nor return them. Many other wrestlers and non-wrestlers in CZW have been complaining about John Zandig's apparent "lack of communication skills" but it mostly gets overlooked as he is the owner of the company. Kashmere assumed that he was done with the company once the phone calls weren't returned. Zandig then gave Trent the ultimatum to either leave with Kashmere or stay on board as a singles wrestler, and Trent declined his offer saying that The BackSeat Boyz are a team and are most effective when used in that capacity. There was a bittersweet feel to the evening as it was apparent that both Trent and Johnny were going to miss their friends, family, and most of all the fans as they make the honorable next step into the bigger picture. Let this be a beginning and not an ending. ALL of the BackSeat Boyz energy will now be used to better their tag team and move ahead. They said that they will be around as long as they want to be, and with the fans support it is inevitable. If you are as big a fan of these guys as I am you should really meet them in person, they are really down to earth which is a rarety in a sleezy business such as independent wrestling. The Boyz have put their foot down and will not stand up for something they don't believe in....they now choose their OWN path and not follow the others. Check back regularly at www.backseatweb.com for further updates. The Boyz will also be adding regular commentaries to the page so they can better keep their fans informed of whats ahead for them. Luckily the Boyz, who declined other bookings for CZW, will at least be bartending this Saturday night at the Berwyn Tavern. Check out www.theberwyntavern.com for directions. I"ll be at the show but when I leave I'm going STRAIGHT to the Tavern, I"ll see you all there. This has been rumored all day on the CZW fanboys board, and looks like it's true now. A fans bring the weapons match is added to Saturday's card, with participants unknown, since CZW has no main event now. (Homicide/Dan Maff vs. Backseats vs. H8 Club was the planned ME) In the IWA-MS TPI Q&A, Ian Rotten said that John Zandig "needs to stop kissing Trent Acid's ass." If what Ian said is/was true, it's kinda hard to believe Acid would leave such a situation. Who knows what's going to happen now.

That kid's got Yakuza written all over him. And I too want that toy.

I told you I couldn't be bothered to look it up. And I'll get to Alina soon enough

Next up is one of the more, um, I guess interesting.....times in TSM history. I am, as you all should have guessed by now and if you didn't you are a fool, The Establishment. It all started one day when someone (I can't be bothered to look it up so I guessed CWM) decided that they wanted more attention on the board, or that there weren't enough posting cliques, or that they were mighty because of their post count, which is equal to the length of your penis and/or breasts, for those of you who were unaware. Anyway, so started The Establishment. Now, like every other thing here on the board, people did everything within their power to jump aboard this bandwagon. People with high and not-so-high post counts began to claim that they too were established, which made them far superior to the rest of the low post-count nimrods around the board, especially in the Puroresu folder. However, the bandwagon eventually began to break as everyone was freaking aboard it. The people who live to do the opposite of others (you know them, they breathe carbon dioxide instead of air) began forming their own anti-establishment posting cliques, essentially doing what The Establishment was doing but with a different title, those hypoctirical bastards. Those in charge of The Establishment gave up on being "selective" on those who could join and let everyone in. Alas, much like everything on this board, people grow sick of it eventually and go back to damning HHH to H-E-Double Hockey Sticks for crossing the street outside of a crosswalk, which means he's holding down Benoit. One week later, The Establishment was no more, and a new posting clique made up of essentially the same people would soon arise.

::Pats NM on the back and gives him a almond cookie::

Messiah missed the show due to his sister recently dying. As fas as it is known, he's still with CZW.

Bwa ha ha. Speedy is mine.... Nice to see Kwame Brown finally doing something. 20 and 10 tonight. I've got five people who only play guard, a G/F, one F, and two F/C's. I need to dump a guard into either a G/F or an F.

Gimme my thread back.

I'm guessing when they signed up with Smart Mark Video.

Get the fuck away from me. BOO! We don't like Mr. Grumpy! Mr. Grumpy doesn't like getting knocked up. Go ask Kotz, I hear he has child-bearing hips.

Get the fuck away from me.

Next, we have all of the drama surrounding Eagan and the TSM community. Eagan was an average poster who's greatest claims to fame are providing rare themes that no one else without Kazaa could find, and always starting up a South Park thread. Eagan also had a tendency to go troll hunting, and by that I mean every poster was accused of being a troll on a constant basis. Eagan's favorite wolf-cry was to accuse new posters of being Prince Paul, a notorious troll who we all miss greatly. Needless to say, people got fed up with Eagan's shit pretty quickly and axed his ass. However, it didn't end there. A certified stalker geek, Eagan would come back to the board even after told he was no longer wanted, starting up dumber and dumber gimmick names that lasted all of fifteen minutes before being banned as well. On the rare occasion that Eagan managed to stay for an hour, he would accuse nearly every poster of being himself in a futile attempt to stir shit up. Once again, his ass was terminated. Finally, we dip back into TSM history, as we have Zacalex (and whatever the numbers were after his name). A tool with no talent, Zacalex ended up having a problem with everyone's favorite mod, AlwaysPissedOff, for whatever ignorant reason. Zacalex started a thread flaming APO, and what occured was the biggest one-sided slaughter since women initially tried to gain the right to vote. I don't even think this picture can do the thread justice, but I tried.

That last part was CWM's idea. ::Stands back and avoids Canadian civil war::

Happy Badger's ready to party.

Duke Nukem Forever.

Happy Badger's just about had it with this shit.

Can I have my thread back now?

My parents are/were teachers. They created me. What does that tell you about teachers?
