Last I heard he was investing in some goggles.

Paul Heyman was sent home from today's scheduled ECW TV taping and has been officially "dismissed" from WWE by Vince McMahon. This is not an angle. Heyman is already on a plane on his way home. Heyman had a meeting today that included Vince McMahon in which he apparently expressed disappointment with the product. The product that aired on PPV was different than that which was originally booked by Heyman and submitted to McMahon. There were last second changes in the show that frustrated Heyman. More to come... From Keller

Please Dixie, if he really is fired just give him the book and total control. Please, just use Russo to write backstage promos or just have him give ideas. Please.

The finish to Starrcade 97 didn't matter, as even if it had been a great match with a true passing of the torch at the end of the day Hogan was would've been passing it to sting not steve austin. Flat out, sting doesn't have what it takes to carry a promotion, especially by that time. He had made tons of money and was no longer hungry.

Personally, everyone says Show is a great guy. I think his health is in serious trouble. His weight, the fact that he smokes and his eating habits all need to change. He can do the one program with Hogan, and hopefully then just retire and get some help.

Everyone except me has now ruined this once great thread. Thanks.

I'm warning you for flaming even though this is the CS, and I'm not even a mod.

Selig would be gone by the time Cuban had the team. He would be a great owner for the team though, I hope he buys them. It's better than the current owners who watch the game from here:

Agent Larry O'Brien said the Cubs have offered free agent Ted Lilly a four-year deal. "We've had an offer [from Chicago], and we're considering coming back with another counter offer," O'Brien told MLB.com on Friday. "I'm planning on meeting with [Cubs general manager] Jim Hendry down at the winter meetings in Orlando next week, but we're also going to be meeting with [Toronto general manager] J.P. Ricciardi." O'Brien also intends to discuss Lilly with the Yankees, Orioles, Rangers and Giants. Dec. 1 - 7:24 pm et

A few more notes from the torch: Ric Flair being beaten down and bloodied Edge and Randy Orton and then taken away in an ambulance on Monday's Raw was an angle designed to write Flair off of TV indefinitely. Friends of Flair say that the finalization of his divorce will be preoccupying Flair in coming months. There has even been talk that the legal proceedings dividing his assets could end up on Court TV. Flair got emotional after his tag match with DX on Raw on Monday, and Shawn Michaels and Triple H consoled him. Flair is not one to hide his emotions on television, and it was clear that he saw Monday's show as a symbolic end of a certain part of his career and the start of a personal chapter that he'd like to get past as quickly as possible. FIVE WEEK RATINGS OVERVIEW WWE Raw: Oct. 23 - Nov. 20 ... 3.7 overall rating (same with 10-week average) with 4,650,000 overall viewers. ECW: Oct. 24 - Nov. 21 ... 1.7 overall rating (same with 10-week average) with 1,754,000 overall viewers. WWE Smackdown: Oct. 27 - Nov. 24 ... 2.7 overall rating (up 0.1 with 10-week average) with 4,300,000 overall viewers. TNA Impact: Oct. 19 - Nov. 16 ... 0.83 overall rating (down 0.2 with 20-week average) with 1,000,000 overall viewers. Over the past five weeks, Smackdown has tightened the gap against Raw in terms of average viewers per show. Over a ten-week average, Raw is averaging approximately 500,000 more viewers. Over the past five weeks, the difference has shrunk to less than 200,000 average viewers. Although the rating was down to a 2.5 for the Friday-after-Thanksgiving Smackdown, the show drew strong numbers the previous four weeks. WWE NOTEBOOK Through 12 dates in the current third quarter, WWE is averaging 3,700 fans per domestic live event. That's down from the 5,300 average in the first quarter and 4,000 average in the second quarter. Excluding small ECW events, the average third quarter attendance is 5,100, which is down from 5,700 in the first quarter and 5,200 in the second quarter. The current quarter attendance is also down from the previous year third quarter, which averaged 5,200 fans per event. WWE has not released international numbers for the current third quarter yet... Although he hasn't addressed it on his blog, Jim Ross has told people in recent weeks that he doesn't feel that Vince McMahon or anyone else was trying to get rid of him, despite persistent rumors of that being the case. Ross remains one of the many people on staff who receives Raw scripts before they're finalized and is among the few who consistently writes critiques in return, sent to everyone. Kevin Dunn does the same. The creative team and agents who also receive the preliminary scripts are more timid about attaching their name to any criticism of the drafts. Says one insider: "I honestly think Vince (McMahon) would prefer more would speak up," but says that nobody wants to be known as that one dissenter who thinks he knows more than everyone else... Current writing set-up: Raw is written by Brian Gewirtz and Ed Koskey, ECW by Paul Heyman and Dave Lagana, and Smackdown by Michael Hayes and Dusty Rhodes (with Rhodes being the least involved of the secondary bookers on staff). Rhodes may prefer to be working in the developmental system where he could be a big fish in a smaller sea, says one source... WWE.com followed Lita around the Wachovia Center to document her final PPV appearance. They have photos of her talking to Edge before and after her match, and hugging her mom after losing to Mickie James... Sabu is in hot water with WWE, which was one reason for why he was squashed by Umaga on Raw last week. Sabu looked disinterested in the match, and he has been reportedly disinterested in being with the company the last few weeks at TV tapings. He is still booked for the Elimination Chamber match at next Sunday's December to Dismember PPV. Says one source: "(Management) has said Sabu is useless in a regular match, and can only do a match with stunts and tables, and they don't respect him because of that," but added that the squash had more to do with Umaga being set up as Cena's challenger than any kind of statement to Sabu. "Vince just sees Sabu as being way beneath Umaga," says the source. "And that's why he was booked that way"... Big Show will be needing time off soon, most likely right after the Elimination Chamber match. He already turned down a long-term contract extension, but WWE would like to use him at WrestleMania 23 in April. Show is in poor shape, and Triple H's "Twinkie" reference at Show this past Monday was one of those messages that WWE publicly sends to wrestlers who they are unhappy with. Says one source: "I like Big Show, but his problems are because he's lazy, not anything else. He won't diet, he'll want some magic pill or radical surgery to lose the weight he needs to lose"... Randy Orton was interviewed in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review to promote the live Raw taping Monday night at the Mellon Arena. The interview was about Bob Orton wrestling in Pittsburgh years ago and whether wrestling is "entertainment". Orton played the "I've had surgeries and I get beat up to entertain" card to answer the age old question...Although Triple H is blamed for having a big ego when he's overexposed on TV, Hunter has indicated to people that he just goes with the plan because Vince doesn't care what anyone else thinks, including family, once he gets his mind set on something... The cartoon version of Mr. McMahon's back side made another appearance on WWE's website. The absurdity continues with Vince's alter ego slicing up turkey as a blown up Bobby Lashley and Rey Mysterio watched with a cartoon version of Maria and Torrie Wilson... Steve Austin has been telling friends that he really enjoyed the process of shooting the WWE Films movie in Australia and is already in the process of finalizing a second movie. Early buzz on his first movie, "The Condemned," is that it will surprise people as the best movie starring a wrestler in years, with the possible exception of one or two Rock movies. "But it's said to be better than some of Rock's movies, too," says a source whose heard good things about it from people who have screened it... Austin's main reason for not showing any interest in wrestling Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania - or at any point, for that matter - is that he "doesn't want his return match to suck," says one source familiar with Austin's attitude. Austin isn't said to be worried about being booed or Hogan's gamesmanship, but rather is determined that if he had a return match, it's a good one, not one that looks like broken down old-timers going through the motions. He's also concerned about being dropped on his head by accident. He may be busy filming his second WWE Films movie as soon as February and March 2007... New ECW interviewer Rebecca is dating Batista, and one informed source says Batista recommended her for the job. In fact, the dating among the male and female wrestlers is said to be at an all-time high lately, with some moving from one to another "like it's high school now; week to week it's different," says one source. "First it was Maria and Carlito, then Maria and C.M. Punk. That's just one of several examples." Torrie Wilson, who is separated from Billy Kidman, is dating a member of the Spirit Squad... One longtime WWE talent believes that Lita got upset with the chauvinistic attitude in WWE. "It's a men's club, even with Steph around. The men are all knights in shining armour and the women are all seen as whores"... There are differing stories on why Shelton Benjamin has been off TV. One source says he asked for time off to move from Minneapolis to Houston (to be closer to his best friends Charlie Haas and Jackie Gayda), while another says he's being punished on general principles for not being committed enough to improving. Says one source: "Shelton is one of those guys who is too content making a good six-figure income, and figures his time will come if he just coasts. Management wants to see him show signs of wanting it more, and until then, he's going to be sent message after message. Problem is, he doesn't seem to care since the checks keep coming." Another source says Carlito had the same rep as Shelton not long ago and had to be talked out of that comfort zone he was in... Victoria asked for some time off because she was exhausted from the travel, and the belief among colleagues is that her push went down after that. "They say it's okay to ask for time off if you need it, but they look down on you for it and it costs you," says one veteran talent... The Nov. 22 ECW on Sci Fi jumped in the ratings to a 1.8 from a 1.6 on Nov. 14. The quarter hours are interesting. The show started with a pedestrian 1.6 for the Lashley-Striker match. The second quarter, with the Hardys match and Punk-Thorn jumped to 1.9 rating and stayed at 1.9 for the finish of Punk-Thorn and Big Show's promo. The rating usually increases as the show goes on, but the fourth quarter dropped to a 1.6 rating for the start of Holly-RVD, then grew to a 1.8 for the overrun. The over-run usually gives the overall rating a boost, but the end of Holly-RVD scored a 1.8 rating. Clearly, the Hardys were a draw on the show and helped give the show the 0.2 rating boost. It's the closest ECW has sniffed the 2.0 rating since a 1.9 rating on September 12... The Nov. 17 Smackdown drew a 2.6 rating with quarter hours of 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6; 2.7, 2.7, 2.7, 2.8...

Although the open challenge was answered on their Monday night program by another tag team, BG and Kip would like to also accept the challenge to make it a three-way match. I'd laugh if WWE accepted and had MNM and the Hardys kick the crap out of them. In a shoot I'd take VKM. Kip is huge, I was surprised to see he was bigger than either of the road warriors when I went to a house show. And B.G. is bigger than the other four, plus was trained in fighting by his dad, and served in the 1st gulf war.

No, she married a chiropractor. And just so you guys know, Keller just reported in his audio that Flair has been given an extended leave of abscence. That is the reason for the angle tonight. He was given it because he is about to go through a very nasty divorce settlement with Beth Flair (one that will probably be broadcast live on court tv). He is expected to be gone for however long it lasts (possibly 6-12 months).

I heard his mom taught him how to give blowjobs. Think about it.

HTQ is generally considered a cocksucker by most posters. He should go form an alternate board with Choken.

I've heard he doesn't mind male affection. Maybe you guys could share a sleeping bag.

I'm getting ready to go to sleep. I'll sleep till around 2 in the afternoon. Have fun fuckers.

How did gang wars go over last time? I don't remember, maybe you can remind me.

I'll admit this place would be pretty boring without Leena around, what would all you kids complain about then? Without WP this place is already slower, if Leena goes this place could turn into the pit. All you need to do is create and thread and put Leena's name in the title, and it's an automatic 5 pages. You create a thread and put RonL21's name in the title and it gets like 2 replies. Admit it, you kids fucking love her.

What the fuck is going on, they paid Gary Matthews Jr. that much? At 32 he's had all of one good year. May 23, 2003: Selected off waivers by the San Diego Padres from the Baltimore Orioles. November 24, 2003: Selected off waivers by the Atlanta Braves from the San Diego Padres. April 2, 2004: Released by the Atlanta Braves. April 8, 2004: Signed as a Free Agent with the Texas Rangers November 23, 2006: Signed 5 year 55 million dollar contract with the Angels Which one of those things doesn't belong?

The Crusher was the biggest star of the AWA, how was he portrayed?

being gay? a cure for baldness? HD tvs? having aids? the baltimore sports teams? masturbating to videos of webcam girls?

I really want to kill this girl after watching her videos. No, I'm not joking. I want to go to where she lives and crush her bloody skull in with a baseball bat. http://www.livevideo.com/user/?uid=2027&am...1B8E6E922302667 http://www.livevideo.com/user/?uid=2027&am...B37E5F6D01D6230 http://www.livevideo.com/user/?uid=2027&am...73814831572E18C http://www.livevideo.com/user/?uid=2027&am...2D&v=newest
