The Ghost of bps21

Were leaving together, But still its farewell And maybe well come back, To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame Were leaving ground Will things ever be the same again? Its the marvin countdown... ... I think the winner of the worst poster tournament should definitely get this 100 bad post countdown treatment.

I was at that show. I sat in row 2. Funnily I also went to that arena for the first TNA house show and just got seats in the actual arena seating which was so FUCKING uncomfortable that I ended up sitting on a bleacher on one end of the bowl for most of the show. Totally worth it. So much more comfortable.

So far there aren't any highspot guys in there...and with Rey not making it, Jericho doing his own thing, and the Hardy's doing each other... This is gonna be a messed up MITB.

Whether it is right or wrong will be dictated by whether anyone buys them or not. I wouldn't pay that much (although I wouldn't want anything but a ticket anyway...and I don't care where I sit) but it is a show I might think about taking the trip for.

I wish I was still alive.

Well it is a midcard match.

I noticed. I made my 20,000th post in here...which would have been silly if post counts didn't work.

This certainly changes the worst poster of the year tournament. AmDrag Fan and Spaceman Ross have to pick up some slack.

This one is true in real life. ... Especially the Canadians.

Don Cherry also said that Thomas Vanek got injured because the Hockey Gods were punishing the Sabres for running up the score in a previous Leafs game. He's been out a month now.

USA! USA! USA!

I joined just to stream stuff through my XBox. I still haven't bothered to rent one DVD over the mail. I should probably do that...I'm paying for it anyway.

This thread has turned totally gay for Brian Dawkins.

I give and I give and I give...and Venkman just won't love me. That's it! I'm changing my name to Spaceman bps21

I watched a lot of Larry King Live durring the 2 year election process. The man doesn't seem to pay attention to what's being said and just rolls through with whatever questions he has written down, no matter who the guest is. In particular I recall an interview with Jesse Ventura where Ventura flat out told him he didn't watch the Republican convention...and King just kept asking the same list of questions anyway. So if the financial news broke in real life and...say...Ludacris was sitting in the chair discussing music issues...he'd handle it in very much the same manner they lampooned on 30 Rock. Asking a ridiculous guest a ridiculous question that they have no knowledge of...just because he does whatever is written there. They managed to portray King as out of touch with that one brilliant line that can easily be sold as being done for an easy laugh...or not even thought about...but the reality is...the writing is too clever on this show for them to not know what they were doing.

They might do a little more than they usually do...because viewers have obviously shown some interest in Sting/Angle feud...but it's not going to be the biggest buys I'd imagine. I wonder if it's good business to put two of your bigger matches (a better built Sting/Angle and next month rumored Foley/Sting and also the third JJ/Angle that has been really good) right around WrestleMania time... On one hand...everyone will spend money on Mania and times are tough... On the other hand...as evidenced by ratings interest in Wrestling is at a hight point all around right now.

I'm all for Lawler having a Mania match... But this is too big of an angle and too good of a wrestler for him to be in there with.

That's because they actually built it for a couple weeks and the whole show made it sound like you should stick around and watch it. Plus...the segments where they were clearing out the arena were interesting in an "I've never seen this before" kind of way...so I'd imagine no one was turning it off.

I have to blow into it before I start the car, and then within 5 minutes well driving it makes me do it again...and then every 15 minutes after that. It's a major pain in the ass to drive on the icy Buffalo roads inhaling and exhaling into a machine for 10 seconds. Which is why I just sit at home and play games and watch TV. The stupid thing is more dangerous than the actual driving drunk was.

They put a breathalizer in my car and put me in drug court and on probation. No more drinking for bps21.

Once I got stuck in my rut of not being allowed to drink anymore...I decided to make it kind of a hobby to run up the score. So I joined gamefly and spam the easy games while playing the games I actually like for fun.

The best part of Larry King was when the financial news broke and he turned and said "Talk us through this, Tracy Jordan". It's such a ridiculously brilliant summation of Larry King Live, and it's why Tina Fey is a genius.

That's why Trish is the greatest Diva of all time. She stayed smoking hot (and got even hotter when she turned heel) and she worked to be a heck of a wrestler too. I love me some Trish.
