The Ghost of bps21

That was actually a really good promo by Dusty.

I put my dog to sleep yesterday. ... although that doesn't seem to fit this thread.

I read that he left because he just realized that the military wasn't for him. I can't help but wonder why it's taking him so long to realize the same thing about wrestling. Run for the bus Randy.

They should unify their titles with the NWA like the WWA did when they went away. No real reason...I just think stuff like that is neat.

I thought it came out next week. Anyway...the demo was fun.

At least the storyline makes sense. That must mean someone wrote it for him. My only problem with Russo is that when he's on TV he becomes the main foil for Jarrett...instead of a worker.

I knew that this would happen as soon as I got MLW back on my TV.

hmmm... I'll be pro-abortion and anti-death penalty. The criminals are going to be in jail for life...so they post no threat to murder anyone else. Those unborn babies though...they could kill at any time. My plan will prevent that!

It never gets anywhere because you still think they should just hand out the MVP to the person with the best stats. It's called the Most Valuable Player and there is no value in losing. Someone look up how many times someone on a last place team has won the MVP award. I bet it hasn't happened more than 3 or 4 times in the entire history of sports.

I just want to make clear that I think Arod is far and away the best player in baseball. But that doesn't make him valuable. You become valuable when you help your team do something more impressive than finish worse than everyone else in your division. If you want to say Arod should have won when the Mariners were making the playoffs...I'll not disagree. But in Texas? Where they can finish last with or without him? That's just not value.

"What exactly do you mean by WWE style, anyway? Watered down wrestling that uses ref bumps to create drama for nearfalls? " I actually figured this one out. Everyone falls the same. Thus...every move looks the same.

"the MVP is just a fancy name for the best player" That is NOT true. The MVP award has always meant most valuable to their team. ARod winning was an exception compared to most previous winners. Bonds wins every year because that team is completely different if he's out of the lineup. Pujols had a better year...where's his trophey? If there had been a clearcut MVP in the AL, this wouldn't have happened. This year, no one stood out so they brok tradition.

Maybe the line of reasoning was that instead of winning 50 games with A-Rod, Texas would have won like 20 without him. That doesn't matter. The 50 games got them last...and 20 gets them the same thing. They could win 0 without him and it doesn't make his 50 worth more than...LAST PLACE. You can't do worse.

Heaven.

It doesn't matter how many games out you finish. Out is out. That's like saying losing by 1 is different than losing by 100. The score is useless...the win is all that matters. Did Jeff Weaver win a game for a team that finished first in the division? Then yes...he's more valuable than ARod. Not better. More valuable. There is NO VALUE in last place. How can there be value in last place. Last by a game or last by 162 games is still last. Last.

I think I watched a literal showing of "You set him up (HHH), and I'll knock him down (HBK)". It's a Kliq world. Benoit only lives in it.

Portland should change their name to the Bandits...cause they made out like...um...Bandits.

That's nothing. Remember seasons 4 (angel) and 7 (buffy)? I'm pretty sure Willow made her appearance on Angel before Willow even got the call on Buffy.

I'll go so far as to say a player who drives in just one run all year in a game that a team that makes the playoffs wins...is more valuable than a guy who bats in a million and his team finishes in last. LAST. WORST in the division. There are no valuable players there. It defies the definition of the word. "Thank god we had ARod or we'd have finished...laster?"

A player on a last place team is not more valuable to that team than a player that plays on a winning team. How much worse could the Rangers have finished than LAST??? Seriously...without ARod they're still in last.

Baseball fucked up their own MVP this year by giving one to ARod and his last place team. it's not the "best player" award. It's the player who is most valuable to their team. There is a difference.

Liking someone shouldn't have anything to do with it. Some people like bad wrestlers (Hogan) more than good wrestlers...and some people hate good wrestlers (Benoit). That's so not the point here...and I don't know how anyone could rank HBK top 5 without factoring in :liking him:

So...anyone who watched from the beginning...did they not do a Cash tribute at all tonight?

Wrong thread. That's what happens when you are watching and discussing two things at once.

The game is fun and entertaining? Shit...I'm not voting in Tom Brady every year.
