    I hate Toronto

    There weren't any "Benoit sucks" chants. Some groups started to get some pro-Benoit chants going but they never really took off

    The OAO SummerSlam 2004 Thread

    I just got back from the show, a really fun one at that. I'm glad to hear my signs made it onto tv (big props to LOTC once again for the ideas "Lita is a Dumas" and "MUGAtaker"). When Lita made her entrance she actually glanced at the sign and made a smirk. Good times. I've never had such close seats to a wrestling event, it was awe inspiring. After the Heat match RVD came over and acknowledged my "RVD > Volleyball" sign (yeah, i know it was actually dodegeball. whatever) with a "Thanks Bro". Despite the average show , the crowd made it a really fun, great atmosphere. A little irritating hearing such a loud response for Orton. Next to Cena, he may have had the biggest pop of the night. There were dozens of pro-Orton signs throughout the arena. Not to say Benoit didn't get a good response though, there were some "Let's Go Benoit" chants that probably didn't come off on the PPV. I can't understand why anyone other than the teenage girls in the audience would give Orton such a reaction *shrugs* I don't see what all the big fuss is about regarding the crowd cheering the heels. Toronto fans basically cheer whatever's pleasing rather than being force fed what the WWE execs. *want* us to react. It may be partly rebellious, but history has shown that Toronto fans have minds of their own when it comes to the wrestling product. The wave during the title match was justifiable, given the match and the particpants (although it wasn't all that bad of a match, there just wasn't enough reason to care). The bottom line is, the fans were vocal and had fun, be at from the product in the ring, our entertaining ourselves. Also, not sure if anyone caught this on the PPV, but after the WWE title match a guy from the crowd ran onto JBL's limo and did a little dance before jumping off and being tackled by security. When he was on there he busted the roof open a little and i was wondering if it exposed the chokeslam spot later on. I managed to take some pictures, although my camera isn't the greatest, there are some decent shots of entrances and in-ring action: Here Benoit, post-match Third Rolling German Guerrero Low-rider Jericho entrance Taker entrance Kane close-up London dive Team Mysterio Five Star RVD close up Taker chokeslam

    The OAO SummerSlam 2004 Thread

    Hot damn, look out for that sign tonight (unless security takes it). As well as: "MUGAtaker" (kudos again to LOTC) "RVD > Vollyball" "Slug Face" (inside joke) and if Bradshaw ends up in the last match: "I can't believe i went to a PPV main evented by Bradshaw!" I;ll be right along the entrance aisle so keep your eyes peeled

    Who is getting Summerslam?

    He's just saying that even with good wrestling , if there is no substance surrounding it, the entertainment value isn't all there.
  5. Actually, i think they switched Unforgiven for No Mercy this year, since the last brand PPV was a RAW brand (Vengeance)

    Who is getting Summerslam?

    I'll be at the show. I'm interested in seeing Angle/Guerrero and the six man tag mostly. Despite a mediocre card it;ll still be fun to see one of the bigger PPV's live 8 rows behind the ring. Still need sign ideas though since i'll be along entrance aisle and in view of the camera

    WWE Raw V.S. Smackdown!

    I really hope the announcers recognize title matches in-game.

    Absurdly funny, yet downright scary. Anyone remember the quote at the end of F9/11?

    re-installing Windows XP

    I plan to re-format computer, but i seem to be missing my Windows XP CD so i borrowed a copy off a friend with the key. However it says on the disc, 'only use this cd to reinstall the OS on a dell-computer'. Will it still work on my IPC computer?

    I figured out how Bret could come back one time

    I don't see how hard it is to understand that Bret won't be returning in any storyline or in-ring manner.

    A Congratulations Thread

    Just beat Final Fantasy X-2 (good ending version). Pleasently surprised how the game turned out despite the slow start

    Benoit DVD Discussion Thread

    Any Canadians find this bad boy yet? (other than the scarce Sunrise locations)

    WWE Raw V.S. Smackdown!

    They really should also add specific brand PPV's too. Although it would be tricky for RAW's rumoured Halloween Havoc PPV in October, unless they go with the old WCW set design. That, and have more than 3 matches per card in season mode.

    Free Benoit match on WWE.com

    However, they DO have the entire match between Chris Benoit and Doink the Clown from Smackdown! on there.

    Primetime Emmy Nominations

    The episode where Fry 'dies' and Leela thinks she's going crazy. Great episode

    Primetime Emmy Nominations

    I barely watch TV anymore, but i'm glad Futurama has been nominated for 2 awards ("The Sting" for best animated episode and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" for best musical performance). Of course it'll probably get screwed over by another new lame Simpsons episode, but its nice to see the show is still being acknowledged despite the cancellation.

    Butterfly Effect on DVD

    I found the alternate ending to be ridiculously absurd and a major let down. I sat there with my jaw dropped trying to grasp why they could have thought of such a ludicrous ending. In the words of Grandpa Simpson, forshame.
  23. To each his own, but to say Matt Good is 'talentless' is quite a stretch given his track record for producing some of the most unique and thought-provoking records, admist a pool of mundane cookie cutter artists that is the music industry. Any reasons as to why you think he's talentless? Or more importantly why his musical talents hold any relevance to what he says in regards to politics? If his opinion coincides with yours, what does it matter if you don't like his music?
