The Tino Standard

I found Saget to be gold in "Half Baked." His whole spiel about blowing somebody to get crack had my jaw on the floor because I'd never seen him in anything besides Full House up to that point.

So Goldberg doesn't see "eye to forehead" with Jericho? I wonder if his view changed when Jericho took him down and had him in control backstage last year.

And they drew that many buys after they had already totally f'ed up the angle. Imagine if they had done it right. No kidding. I was at the event, and I remember buying my tickets a couple months before, just as the whole invasion was starting... Me and my buddy were waiting in line at a TicketMaster for God knows how long so we could get good seats for what was going to be a HUGE event. ... and then we got a meaningless 10-man tag main event that included the Dudley Boyz and Rhyno. D'oh. EDIT: Actually, I probably shouldn't be so hard on that show... We got a pretty fun Jeff Hardy-RVD match (which is a story in itself... I hadn't watched much ECW, so I could only recognize RVD, but knew little about him... Needless to say I was floored by the reaction he got at the Gund... That was the only Invasion character that came in and REALLY felt like a main event player coming from the outside... Glad to see they followed up on THAT)... The cruiserweight match was fun too, if for no other reason than because in every match, the WWF guy was the face. Then, X-Pac comes out trying everything possible for people to cheer him, but to no avail. Finally, he just looks at the crowd, gets this shit-eating grin and says "Fuck it," and goes back to working heel.

I just figured the Undertaker was in limbo right now because the plan had been for him to feud with Brock Lesnar after WM. Now that Brock's gone, Undertaker has been left hanging in the wind.

You'd think that Bischoff would be the first one to dig up a WCW PPV name, not Angle/Smackdown... Hmm....

Well, Mr. Belding is coming to my campus next month for a talk at the student center. I promise all of you that I'll get to the bottom of this.

So would it be correct to assume that Smackdown that week will be live since the TV crew will be at the Raw PPV on Tuesday? Also, mark my words: If the calendar falls the same way this year as it did last year, then that Tuesday night would probably be the same night as either Game 6 or 7 of the baseball League Championship Series. And if you have Boston, New York and Chicago all involved again this year, you can kiss the buyrates in those markets goodbye.

Holy shit, I can't believe InVasion was that high on the list.

... or you can do like me and get a used Dreamcast for 20 bucks, then burn a copy of the Nester disc floating around that has hundreds of Nintendo games all rolled into one CD.

Wrestlemania is at Staples Center next year. I can see why you'd go back to the small MSG this year for WM, but why a small arena next year too?

Considering that they were going to hold a WM at Tropicana a couple years ago, only to discover that the walk from the locker room to the ring would be half-mile, and thus, not a viable option, then I don't see what would change now. And like Cawthon said, they're shying away from dome shows, so if it DID come to Tampa, it would probably be at the Ice Palace, or whatever they call the hockey arena.

I thought I read that Dennis "Mideon" Knight had no interest in coming back to the WWE, and just wanted to work a match since the company was coming through his area for a house show and he was still on good terms. If that was it, I don't really think that's such a problem.

The Rock-Shamrock chairshot is still one of the sickest I've ever seen. That was not protected AT ALL.

That's right up there with pouring a full box of Rice Krispies in someone's bed.

The blind black white supremicist rules all for me... Tho, I have to give special mention to the Grand Theft Auto parody.

I would be careful... My senior class started with the year-end pranks on April Fools Day and went so overboard that our prom was temporarily cancelled. Just a total fiasco.

With expectations THIS high, it's hard to imagine the show living up to the hype...

My personal favorites from Tony... A guy gets thrown into the ringside barricade: "Oooooh... right into the Rail of Pain!" And a pair of classics from Halloween Havoc 2000: "Ohhhhhh..... HE'S DEAD." (Still used by my friends here to this day) "Aw, this sucks!" (I love shoot comments...)

I have the shame of admitting that I saw Blair Witch 2 in the theater.

We used to spend HOURS playing four-way eliminations with this game. Just AWESOME.

I thought he might have just fired a shot in the air to scare the shit out of her to get her to quiet down or something.

I'd be all in favor of bringing back the classic I-C belt as long as they found a way to incorporate a nameplate on it, like they have on all the current belts. I think that's a neat touch and it probably wouldn't be that hard to include.

Small point, but I'm almost certain that Staples is larger than MSG. Also, I'm a little confused about all this talk with Lesnar and football... Wouldn't he have to entry the draft like everybody else?

For what it's worth, GB actually DID something in their match. Brock brought the suck. -=Mike This is true. And when the hell did you ever think you'd see the day where you'd be typing about how in a match between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg, it would be Goldberg that was the only guy actually putting in any sort of effort and using actual moves. Weird.

And whaddya know? A comparison between the two shitty Batmans.
