    TSM Profile: Carlito

    I like the idea of a Carlito/Chavo/Estrada mini-stable of sorts. Throw Santino in there just for the hell of it and you've got the makings of a pretty effective international group, IMO.

    I will honestly be surprised if this poster turns out to be real.

    TSM Profile: Carlito

    A) Carlito needs a finisher. That backstabber/backcracker/whateverthefuckit'scalled - just doesn't cut it. Give the guy something technical, but that also has impact.. like a Fisherman's Buster (or even a Fisherman's DDT). I also always liked the Catatonic (not sure if anyone else is using that right now). B) New gimmick. I agree about gimmicks being a part of every wrestler. There's only so many guys who can have the "no gimmicks needed" gimmick before it starts to get stale. Which it is, btw. Anyway, get rid of this watered down Scarface rip off that they originally brought him in as and give him something that suits him. Just because he's from the Caribbean doesn't mean he has to be a stereotype. I'd like to see him as a ruthless, cut-throat heel, who is also a major coward. So much that he has a big guy around him all the time to do his dirty work. I had this idea for Edge when he was injured and had to give up the title. I thought it would've been the tits to have Edge still on TV but with Mark Henry acting as his enforcer and defending the title for him.

    Poster for Sacrifice

    Am I the only one who thinks this is just a bad Photoshop job? I mean, the colourtones in the photos don't even match up and a few of them just look like screencaps from a TV show...

    Was that only on PS3? This guy has a 360 video up and they come out together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOnRE0Qu6XE

    Huge Chunk of Ice Breaks Off of Antarctica

    I'm not really a conservative, but I'm not a global warming disciple. So to make me believe it and care about it, you'd have to prove all of the following things, with hard factual evidence, beyond a shadow of a doubt: 1. The planet really is getting hotter. 2. The increase in heat will negatively affect humanity. 3. It's getting hotter fast enough that significant effects will show up within, oh, the next century. 4. Humans are causing this and it's not a natural phenomenon. 5. There's actually anything we can really do to stop it. If you could provide undeniable numerical data to prove every one of those, then I'd care about global warming. Until then, not so much. Can people negatively impact the environment? Of course. Just look at Chernobyl for one good example. But no matter how widespread or long-lasting the effects are, almost all pollution usually ends up staying within the localized area. If you pollute in New York, it ain't gonna reach Australia, and vice-versa. I simply have a hard time believing that humans can permanently change the environment of the entire globe with anything short of widespread nuclear warfare or something similarly apocalyptic. I'm not a global warming disciple either - but I am a conservative, and even I think you're being incredibly naive and ignorant in this post. Especially where you assert that pretty much only nuclear catastrophes can adversely effect the environment. Wow. Just wow. It's not about whether pollution in NYC travels to and affects Australia. It's about reducing pollution EVERYWHERE for a collective effect on World pollution. Regardless of whether you believe in global warming or not, reducing localized pollution is still a good thing because enough reduction in localized pollution reduces the overall pollution on planet Earth. Good thing. That is, unless you like breathing smog.

    Undertaker's New Finisher

    Codebreaker. I love it. I was really happy he has an impact finisher now. And if they're gearing up for a feud with Punk of some kind, it's a nice foil to the GTS. Its a lot better than that other finisher he had been using in late 2001. That full nelson face slam or whatever it was. Ahh the Breakdown. And the sleeperdrop thing he called the Flashback. Both very weak.

    Undertaker's New Finisher

    Personally, I always thought that was gimmicky. IMO, the ref shouldn't be looking for pins when someone isn't even going for one. Sure it's good for a "double finish" gimmick ending (ie: backsuplex pin) but that's about it..

    Well, he does have those gloves...

    I like Death Trap! Or.. the "Ain't Feelin' It"

    Maybe in VC form, I think there's actually an FP entry in the Japanese VC. I wouldn't hold your breath for anything new. That's up to Spike and Fire Pro Returns was intended to be seen as the final game in the series.

    The OAO WWE DVD Thread

    Yeah I saw that too, but you'd think we'd have hard about it by now.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    THAT would've been sweet. I mean, I'm sure Flair has his own Big Gold belt, but it would've been a cool gesture nonetheless.

    *Smackdown Spoilers*

    One of the blandest wrestlers ever. I don't know why WWE even bothered with him. They've already got Carlito. They bothered with him probably because he's Michaels' cousin, or something like that.

    The OAO WWE DVD Thread

    So any chance of another Ric Flair collection coming out since he's officially retired now? There's been quite a lot that's gone down since the previous 3 disc release. I've love to see something more biography based, too. Sure with more matches, but there wasn't much of a "story" per se to the previous collection. Just touching on the major feuds.

    Smackdown Vs Raw 08

    Odd I had that same Power 25 problem, but in 2007 with HHH & HBK. They were always beside eachother in the rankings.

    The nitpickers will always find something to nitpick about, won't they?

    Now that you mention Hennig, I'm also sad that Heenan didn't make it. I mean, I know he's in a bad way and obviously couldn't make it. But to see the Brain and the Nature Boy side by side again would've been awesome.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    I was thinking the same thing. I actually think he looks, at least, to be in the best shape he's been in since his first quad tear during the Two Man Power Trip days.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    Why wouldn't HHH come out first to "MC" the final part of the farewell? He was Flair's best man at his recent wedding.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    Personally, I don't mind the briefcase at all. I mean branding it with the wrestlers name/theme is a little tacky, but we're talking about wrestling here so it's not so out of sorts that they'd do something like that.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    They don't want to risk it getting stolen? Kayfabe-wise, the title shot contract is contained in the briefcase, right? If the holder gets it stolen, whoever pilfered it could theoretically cash it in himself. True enough, and obviously they'd want the contract on them at all times (rather than locking it up somewhere) to add to the fact that they can cash the title shot in anytime, anywhere.

    WWE Raw (3/31)

    PS - I hope tonight was the beginning of a Jericho heel turn. Much like HHH, he seems to me much better at the heel role than the babyface role.
