Golgo 13

As a journalist, you're supposed to get your facts straight no matter what. And considering Eddie wasn't even signed by the WWF the first time around until 2000.

You know, I've been thinking about this. I fear Big Show didn't job because he'll be the next contender to Angle, this after Lesnar gets involved in the match next week, leading to Taker/Lesnar.

In lieu of a video clip, I have an mp3 of the entire segment, if that would suffice.

Does it hurt for the man to JOB a little bit? Damn, when Triple-Juice doesn't job, it is a big deal. But Brock does it, and it is a big deal. Because Triple H doesn't job even when it's in the best interest of the company that he does. Brock jobbing is a big deal especially when they're trying to build him up as a monster. Also, it's not this one loss. It's how much he's been jobbing lately altogether. It's also fair to say that Brock doesn't need to job in that match, when Big Show is there to do it.

Yep. I no-showed. I don't really have a good reason either. I started off well, but after that was dead when thinking of ideas. I then woke up at 2 today, leaving me enough time to try and get something in, but opted to sleep more instead. Bad move on my part.

The glitch struck my first copy of No Mercy a couple months after buying it. I started working through the game again, when it hit a second time. At that point I just sent it in to THQ, who sent me a new one. I haven't had a problem since.

It appears he never posted in the new thread. Anyway, here they are. --- Smarks Board Name: Hybrid420 Wrestlers Name: Hybrid Height: 6'4" Weight: 241 Hometown: Bronx, NY Age: 23 Face/Heel: Heel Stable: N/A Ring Escort: N/A Weapon(s): Chair Quote: N/A Looks: Hybrid has shoulder-length black hair. His face best resembles that of Rhyno. He wears a black, long-sleeved shirt with flames and red elbow pads. On the bottom portion, he wears black pants with flames and black wretling boots with red kicking pads. Ring Entrance: His entrance has a fire theme (like his attire). His theme music is Fuel's "Cancer". When his music and fire pyro hit, he walks to the ring apron ( no taunting) and steps through the ropes to await his challenger. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 5 Speed: 6 Vitality: 6 Charisma: 3 [Can not exceed 20 points in total... NB: Strength, speed, vitality and charisma play a vital part on what moves your wrestler is capable of. Keep this in mind when you write your move lists. See the guide down the bottom of this thread. Maximum of 10 per catagory.] Style: Hybrid is a technical high flier who relies on both his speed and technical abilities. He can do the ocasional power move and uses many kicks ( resembles AJ Styles) Signature moves: super kick german suplex Sliced Bread #2 to Christian Backbreaker (reverse DDT to knee) top spin facebuster (sort of an F5 to the knee facefirst) shining wizard koji clutch Common moves: 10-15 floating neckbreaker con hilo high leg clothesline backdrop to facebuster (Kidman) scoop slam/leg drop combo drop front suplex running spinning wheel kick kitchen sink Stevie-T catapult to turnbuckle to backbreaker hurricane neckbreaker from 2nd rope (not flipping) Rare moves: springboard 450 splash one man spanish fly harlem hangover Finishers: Perfection Throguh Silence: Reverse Fireman's carry to downward spiral Hybrid Theory: Frog Splash Notes: Hybrid is a " I let my actionsin the ring speak for me" type of guy. However, he has the ability to provide an entertaining promo. He focuses on just winning matches and winning titles. Although he is described as a heel, "neutral" would be a better term seeing as that he does not conform to typical heel/face behavior. Bio: [Optional. A bit of backround information about your wrestler.]

Smarks Name: KingofOldSchool Wrestler Name: Manson Height: 6' Weight: 240 Hometown: Denver, Colorado Age: 23 Face/Heel: Heel. Stable: None. Tag Partners: None. Weapons: Whatever is available. Quote: None. Looks: General: White. His long black hair is gone, replaced by a shaved bald head. Dark, unnerving eyes. Thick beard. Stylized tribal sleeve tattoos on both his arms, and a large dragon on his back, though it's rarely seen. He's been working out furiously and has gained a fair bit of musle mass, making him bulkier. Looks every bit the 6'0, 240 he's billed as. As intimidating as he ever was, if not more. Attire: Blue jeans, with black kneepads worn on the outside and black boots worn underneath. Waist up he wears a sleeveless black t-shirt. Wears black elbow pads and white tape around his hands, up to his forearm. No longer wears his black leather biker jacket to the ring for matches, but it will always be present otherwise. Ring Entrance: The arena plunges into darkness and multi-colored strobe lights flash as "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" by Prong hits to the booing of the fans. Manson emerges and throws up a fist in the air, before heading down the ramp. He slides into the ring, and heads to his corner where he waits on his opponent. Attributes: Strength 6 (He's gotten substantially stronger. He can easily throw around those under and around his own weight. Anything up to 300 isn't much a strain) Speed 3 (Some of his explosiveness and agility is gone. He reacts a little slower. Will fly only once in a blue moon. Still able to out maneuver your larger hosses) Vitality 7 (Can be beaten on continually and will ask for more. Can bump and bleed well. Capable of taking an insane, holy shit bump when the time comes. Never no-sells, but is hard to keep down and will occasionally do the delayed sell) Charisma 4 (Will often let his actions and ring work do the talking. Doesn't cut promos often, but when he does, it's usually kept short. Will curse. Imagine his voice being gruff like that of Steve Austin or Stevie Richards) Style: Is a brawler first and foremost, with good submission skills and limited mat ability. Balanced striking attack. Will definitely use forearms, elbows and punches. Using his knees is one of his favorite tactics. Since his mobility is more limited now, his variety of kicks are gone. But the ones he does hurt like a bitch, as is the case with all his strikes. Has very basic matwrestling abilities, but if pulled into a sequence by someone better at it, he won't keep up for long. If his opponent has a well-publicized injury, he's more likely to exploit it with attacks and submissions to the affected area. Is a blue collar worker. Is outright mean, aggressive and unrelenting when he's focused on the task at hand. He definitely has no qualms about cheating and fighting dirty; he may just do so for the fun of it. Signature moves: 1) STO 2) Sleeper Drop 3) Spinebuster 4) Mind Bender (Front Sit-Out Suplex) 5) Uranage Suplex 6) Powerbomb 7) Elevated Half-Crab 8) Crucifix Armbar 9) Yakuza Kick 10) 2nd Rope Legdrop Common moves: 1) Overhead Belly-Belly Suplex 2) Backdrop Suplex 3) Northern Lights Suplex 4) Fisherman Suplex 5) German Suplex 6) Back Breaker/Rib Breaker 7) Shoulder Breaker 8) Stun Gun 9) Suicide Dive 10) Dragon Screw Legwhip 11) Crucifix Kneebar 12) Fujiwara Armbar 13) Knees - knee lifts to face or stomach - knee drops - Running High Knee 14) Kicks - Standard kicks and stomps - Roundhouse to leg (or to head of kneeling opponent) 15) Elbows - Back Elbow - Back Elbow (Running) - Spinning Elbow (Standing. aka the Rolling Elbow) - Spinning Back Elbow (Standing) 16) Other - Clothesline - Punches - Karate Chop to Neck - Knifedge Chops Rare Moves: 1) Suplexes (Dragon, Tiger and Exploder) 2) MDK (TKO/Fireman's Carry to Stunner. Old school finisher) 3) Killing Joke (Last Rites/Inverted Facelock Swinging Neckbreaker. Another old finisher) 4) M-Driller (Otherwise known as the K-Driller, and the morbidly-titled Owen Driver. Gutwrench to inverted piledriver) 5) Savage Elbow (What he once reserved the SSP for, is now replaced by a Flying Elbow, aka the Savage Elbow. On the rare and special occasion he heads to the very top, you know this is coming) Finishers: 1) Consequences (Diamond Cutter) 2) Gokuraku Choke (Back Mounted Cross Armed Choke. More widely known as the Gokuraku Gatame) Notes: Has a temper. Has some remaining bitterness toward some things, but it's not very blatant or outright; maybe an offhand comment here and there about not getting his due. Has an air of confidence, but it's limited to the fact that he'll waste no time in telling you how good in the ring he is, and with arguably just cause, despite the absence of major titles. He doesn't rely on catchphrases and gimmicks to be over. Highly prefers a traditional match to anything else, but he has no reservations about hardcore and the like. Previous to the new year, he was your 'cool heel' fan favorite. But since warming up to the crowds, he's now shunned them, seeing them as a distraction. He's completely out for himself these days, by any means necessary, everyone else be damned. Bio, History: Born and raised in Denver. Trained in the Hart Dungeon, afterwards traveling the world. He gains a following, but breaks his neck in Mexico. He rehabs and signs with the SWF. On November 7, 2001 he makes his debut as "The Mafia" Tommy Gunn in the IGNJL, later shortening his name to Mafia, a violent paranoid schizophrenic. He joins up with Havoc in early 2002, only to become their last member as the group breaks up shortly after. Sometime after then he forms The New Sound, and he now develops delusions of grandeur and slight misogynistic tendencies. The group becomes the dominant heel stable in the JL. As it prepares to become the sWo under mentor Chris Wilson, Mafia takes a leave of absence, due to several issues including having to work out his contract and injuries. In August 2002, Mafia returns as Manson, his "real name." He feuds with the sWo, who he specifically blamed for selling out The New Sound to Wilson. Picking up steam as a face, he unfortunately aggravates old injuries in a match with WildChild, and leaves again. In March 2003 he returns, a heel once again, though much more bitter and misanthropic. Though he meets initial success, the new outlook doesn't give him what he had hoped for. So with the blessing of the fans, he turns tweener and eventually face. Among his opponents in his quest for the title are Spike Jenkins, Insane Luchador, Aecas, Charlie Matthews and more. In December 2003, he had time to think about things. He had an epiphany of sorts, where he questioned who he was and who he really was in this for.

Nope. I'm inclined to agree with what Tom has already said. Heaven and Hell were just notions created to keep people in check. In addiition, I think the afterlife is just silly and unrealistic, and I'm not just talking about the fact that it's highly improbable. We're beasts, albeit with the ability to think and forego our instincts, nothing more. Therefore, I don't think we're any more special than other life to believe that we get certain perks. Plus, going along with what AP said, there is no "light" or "warmth" which so many people describe when dying. It's simply your brain shutting down. Similar feelings come from drifting asleep at night, after all. Sure, it's NICE to think that something lies beyond this life, but I firmly believe that we end up rotting in the pine box, and that's it.

According to gerweck.net, he's 38.

For the record, I hated Vanilla Coke. Anyway, I'm drinking a bottle of Vanilla Pepsi right now (or Pepsi Vanilla, if going by the company line). The "Pepsi" and the vanilla mix together well, as neither flavor is dominant nor do they clash with each other like they did in, for example, Pepsi Blue. It still has the Pepsi "bite" but goes down smoother for me than did Vanilla Coke. Of course, VP takes some getting used to, much like all relatively new sodas. Regardless, it's a soda that I can't see myself drinking every day, and will probably be reserved for a once-in-a-while treat. This will probably be true of most consumers, especially considering Vanilla Coke's sales decline. If I could use a ratings cliche, ***1/2 for the taste. Although I'd really like to drop that down to * for Pepsi being unoriginal fucks and following in Coke's footsteps, but I'll refrain, since this is about the soda and not the business practices.

Yeah, but Vince still came out with the last laugh. Wacholz didn't get any of the money which he claimed was owed to him. His claims of sexual assault, believed to be fabricated to cover up why he attacked Vince in the first place, went nowhere. When Wacholz went to WCW after his firing, he left after only a few appearances and hasn't wrestled since. Then his testimony in the steroid trial inadvertently helped Vince on his way to becoming a free man. Now Wacholz remains one of the biggest jokes in wrestling this side of Sid.

I had this problem a few weeks ago, and it wasn't solved until I got a new mouse. Both the old mouse and the new one I got were PS/2. Anyway, in the time between the computer no longer detecting the old mouse, and buying the new one, I lost a few drivers (a couple of the lmouse, and possibly the one you're missing, but I don't really remember). I found them only after searching online, and placing them into the regular folder for Windows drivers. So you may wanna try searching for this one you're missing and trying it that way. It at least solved the resolution problems for me. Or, as Rant said, re-install Windows. Out of curiosity, which version is it? Concerning the Windows thing, I also remember a solution I found where you can pull only the files you need from the Windows disc. For reference, when I did a Google search for solutions, the phrases I used were "mouse not found", "mouse missing" and the name of the driver(s) itself. I pretty much found all my answers quickly.
