If TNA doesn't have a TV deal by next summer... I hope RVD stays put. I don't care if he can fall back on his store or make just as much money in the Indy's and spend more time with his family. He's one of the very few good things on Raw and I want him there. Vince make money off us which pays for these guys contracts... Dance for me puppets, DANCE!!!!!

Jesus, you would think his contract ran out this year. He's been misused since Mania. Actually, he didn't even have a match at this past Mania did he?

Gotta love how Kevin Nash is making $600,000, but RVD is probably only making $150,000 down side and probably won't get much else.

Watch game 7 tonight. Might get better wrestling there.

Wrestling..... Royal Rumble 92. Flair wins first WWF title. Diesel debut (I think it was his debut) when he helped HBK win back the IC title from Marty Jannitty. Austin's beer truck. Angle wins first WWF title. Spike and Rhyno's WWF debuts. First Raw of the brand extention. Also the night Eddie Guerrero returned.

That's fucked up! Keith Richards and cockroaches shouldn't have to suffer like that..

While there were mistakes and disappointments like who ran over Austin and the Steph-Triple H-Angle storyline the product was still pretty good at the time. The storylines made sense and the in ring action was still hot. Austin turning heel could be pointed at as the start of the down fall but the real turning point was Vince buying/burying WcW. That should have been one of the biggest and best storylines ever. But, WcW only had a handful of "big stars" like Booker and DDP and the writers never figured out how to use them. Of course, Taker, Austin and everyone else playing politics didn't help either. But, that is when the writing went to crap. Guys being jobbed out for no reason. Guys winning and then dropping titles every other week. I couldn't keep up with who was champion half the time. Then little things like Austin kicking the crap out of the WcW guys at KOTR that year then joining them at the end of the match. The whole Invasion being focused around Austin and favoring all the WWF guys. Booker T being WcW champion then being made a running joke and then becoming Rock's bitch. It was a one sided battle from the start and the writing has never recovered since.

STP Says 'Thanks' With Bonus DVD A special edition of Stone Temple Pilots' upcoming Atlantic best-of set, "Thank You," will include a DVD packed with three hours of videos, live performances and footage of the band shot by friends and fans. Due Nov. 11, the 15-track audio anthology will be available with and without the DVD. The DVD will feature clips for 32 songs, including such hits as "Interstate Love Song," "Sex Type Thing" and "Vasoline." Highlights include a rendition of the Aerosmith classic "Sweet Emotion" with the band's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry and run through Glen Campbell's "Wichita Lineman" with the artist. As previously reported, the tracks on the "Thank You" audio disc survey the band's five studio albums, which have sold a combined 12 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set boasts the new song "All in the Suit You Wear," which can be sampled on the band's official Web site. As a group, STP has been more or less dormant in the last year. Singer Scott Weiland, who has publicly battled addiction through a series of arrests and stints in rehab, has most recently been involved with the band Velvet Revolver. Rounded out by former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum plus Suicidal Tendencies' David Kushner, the band is eyeing a February release for its debut RCA album. STP bassist Robert DeLeo and his guitarist brother Dean produced Alien Ant Farm's latest album, "truANT." Released in August, the set debuted at No. 42 on The Billboard 200. Here is the "Thank You" audio CD track list: "Vasoline" "Down" "Wicked Garden" "Big Empty" "Plush" "Big Bang Baby" "Creep" "Lady Picture Show" "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" "Interstate Love Song" "In the Suit That You Wear" "Sex Type Thing" "Days of the Week" "Sour Girl" "Plush" (acoustic) Here is the "Thank You" DVD track list: "Dead & Bloated" "Army Ants" "Interstate Love Song" "Silver Gun Superman" "Crackerman" "Plush" "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" "Hollywood Bitch" "Big Empty" "Long Way Home" "Down" "Meat Plow" "Tumble in the Rough" "Sex & Violence" "Wicked Garden" "Atlanta" "Where the River Goes" "Pop's Love Suicide" "Sweet Emotion" "Big Bang Baby" "Pretty Penny" "Lounge Fly" "Wonderful" "Creep" "Too Cool Queenie" "Wichita Lineman" "Sex Type Thing" "Vasoline" "Lady Picture Show" "Sour Girl" "Days of the Week" "Hello, It's Late" Credit: Billboard.com

I don't know which singer is which in Linkin Park, but the one with the black hair and the glasses looks like the guy from the phone commercials.... "Can you hear me now?"

The fans cheer because he's Steve Austin. He's one of the biggest wrestling superstars ever. It's not just about respect and his legacy. When your there live, the glass breaks and Austin comes walking down the ramp it's exciting. He has this presence about him that you can't ignore. Which is what made him a star in the first place.

Yup, looks like another Hardy match has been booted off a PPV. WWE.com has listed for No mercy Brock Vs Taker Vince Vs Steph Eddie Vs Big Show Angle Vs Cena Tajiri Vs Mysterio Benoit Vs A-Train

Jericho will never get the best of Austin. Austin never lets anyone get the best of him. Don't blame it all on Vince, Steph and the writing team either. Austin never lets himself look weak. He didn't when he was an active wrestler and he still won't and if he is asked to do so, he'll throw a fit, refuse or just walk out. When you have the pull Austin does he can get away with anything. Beating up women, getting drunk in the ring, swearing, no selling offense of the actual wrestlers, nothing shocks me. Austin is no better then Triple H calling Booker a nigger this past year, talking him down and then beating him clean. Fuck Goldberg, Austin, Triple H, McMahons and the rest of the politics.

The name of the thread is "worst band ever." Not "bands you hate." The Monkees and Hole I can see, but there are more bands out there with less talent then the others you listed. Turn on Much Music/Fuse and you'll hear all the pop punk and emo bands. Think of all the one hit wonders of the 90's. Think back to the 80's and you have Trixster, Ezuff Enough, Go Go's, Warrent, Vixen, Winger, etc. To say any of those bands are better then Metallica, Aerosmith, Beatles or Nirvana is a joke.

The midget thing doesn't sound that bad. Probably will come off better on TV. Angle is gold in these comedy segments. God forbid he doesn't act like "Stone Cold" Jeff Jarrett errrr Austin...... BTW, is Angle and/or Cena injured? I can't remember the last time these two have wrestled on Smackdown?

No way. Not even WWE could screw this up as bad as Invasion. All they have to do is make a 10 man elimination tag match and put a team around Jericho and a team around Cena. You don't have to get fancy. They invade each others shows and attack each other some weeks and cut promo's against one another other weeks. You know Jericho and Christian can cut some good promo's and Cena rapping about Smackdown having better talent could be gold. All you have to do is let the fans decide who they want to cheer.

Austin gave Stacy the stunner probably to get Stacy off TV for a few weeks. Test is injured so Stacy was probably given time off to be with him. Then, when they return they can be part of the Jericho-anti-Austin- thing their doing. Also, if WWE is so dead set on the soap opera stuff, they should have Jericho/Trish be the Fred/Britney of the WWE. Jericho says they did and Trish says they didn't. Hearing Jericho every week talk about how he nailed Trish would be kind of funny. Of course the feud would end with Shane kicking Jericho's ass and him being the one who really nailed Trish 7 ways to Sunday.

They better have some Raw Vs Smackdown matches. There is no reason not to. They could have guys attacking each other from both shows to build up the matches. It would add excitment to the shows and people would/should be interested enough to buy the PPV for that alone. Have Cena & co' do run ins on Raw and then have Jericho & co' strike back on Smackdown.

Rancid

I hope you guys realize NO ONE is going to take Goldberg out for the $100,000. Goldberg will continue to crush everyone until Triple H comes back and destroys Goldberg himself. That way he can do the "If you want something done right you have to do it yourself" speech and bury the whole Raw roster once again.

JR is rumored to be a chain smoker. So going two hours on Raw and three hours on PPV's without nicotine is a bitch. Probably the reason he twitches, fumbles his words and is always acting crazy like he's losing his train of thought. Withdrawl will do that to you.

Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Rumor has it Goldberg/HBK Vs Mack/Henry will be the main event tonight

Some fans who attended a Limp Bizkit concert in Cicero, IL this past July have filed a lawsuit against the band. The fans claim that they were cheated out of concert-ticket value when Bizkit only performed for 17 minutes. The suit also names 172 concertgoes as plaintiffs who are filing on behalf of the roughly 40,000 people who attended the concert. The suit claims that Bizkit was contracted to play a 90 minute set. The suit wants a $25 refund, 1/3 of the full ticket price, for every person who attended the show. Fred Durst stormed off the stage at the 20 minute mark during the show after he was being booed and started being hailed with water bottles and other garbage. He yelled curse words and other insults at the crowd before leaving. Reports say that the band left the stage after performing a 17 minute set that included Fred Durst cursing the crowd out, bashing gays and throwing a temper tantrum.

I think that was Debra and Torrie. Torrie was known for "sucking" up to people in power and Debra didn't like it when she saw Torrie talking (or flirting) with Austin. I remember reading Debra threw a little hissy fit and told Torrie to keep away from him.

Many backstage feel that Rhyno is being buried by Vince McMahon partly due to being an ECW/Paul Heyman creation, much like Rob Van Dam. Many in WWE seem to still be "fighting the war" against WCW and ECW (despite the war obviously being over) and thus sometimes do not push "WCW and ECW talent." Credit: 1wrestling/411

Which is refreshing at times, less flash and more wrestling. The matches usually move from one to the next pretty quick. The guys work the crowd alot more at house shows which is fun. They usually keep the match in the ring instead of all the outside/floor spots and brawls. There is no camera men or announcer tables so they don't use as much floor around the ring which brings the front row closer.
