Well it's related to being nice to Special Olympic kids and he would get a free trip...both of which are things Foley likes.

It's scheduled to be in stores for 10-22.

Best Buy wouldn't mess around. It's a poor economy and they are heading into the holiday season, they really want Chinese Democracy to be a big seller.

I'm kind of with starvenger on the Raptors. It's kind of grown on me, since they've made the whole raptor much more subtle in the jersey and logo design. They could have done much worse.

I know its not all his fault he wasn't booked well or given much of a chance to develop his character on screen, but he really did nothing that made him stand out. Anyone could have played his role in the HBK/Jericho feud.

I guess as a result of reading comics, I'm used to changes like this. Either way, I think Cheadle will do a fine job in IM2.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. But as a Thrashers fan, I'm used to that by now.

It's a valid question. The only single managers that they have made are Jimmy Hart and Paul Bearer, but I'm assuming that is because the classics line is fairly WWE centric.

Why wouldn't he be marketable? They have all the Horsemen, and there are die-hard collectors who will buy anything. Hell, Lillian Garcia has a figure! I know what you mean, but with someone like Windham they can make multiple figures. I'd imagine they would only put out one as a single, maybe a second as a manager in a two pack. That said, I would still want one. Maybe Dillon just won't sign off on it?

Where did you hear about this? I thought they've just passed on Dillon because he's not as marketable a figure.

I think it works, he kind of looks like that hipster dickhead with the cool job and lots of money that everyone hates.

Yeah, I'm kind of hoping that Antwan's injury is going to have a quick recovery.

I'm surprised to see Harlem Heat on that list.

It seems like they were more interested in name dropping every rapper than putting together a quality list. As far as I'm concerned, "The Message" should have been number one.

And because I have to fit in with the rest of you...

Bobby Simmons-G/F With my last pick, I'm hoping he'll have a good season.

It was that and they asked her some weird question if she blamed the company for his death.

No way. New Jersey is an awesome place once you get south of the bridges. The best part of New Jersey is that you can get to NY or Philly in a little over an hour, then come home and be back in the suburbs.

Here are my thoughts... I'm digging that your super card is based on Kliq/Guerrero warfare and the Studd/Abyss and Backlund/Funk feuds get ample time on television. I'm not digging the Orton family feud, mostly due to there already being two family angles concurrently going on. That, and I think the women and tag gauntlets might be a little overkill on the same crowd. Other than that, looks solid.

Yeah, he made a two-night return in this year's King of Trios tournament (which I think is going to end up my favorite event of the entire year because it was basically a wrestling geek dream weekend. What other tournament out there would feature guys from Canada, Mexico, Japan, Hawaii, Kaiju Big Battel, and a team consisting of the One Man Gang and Demolition?), where he was the mystery partner of Los Ice Creams in the first round in a losing effort against Team Mexico, and then he was in the four-way the next night. He was kind of limited (his offense was mostly just chops with some other stuff thrown in occasionally), but he was totally into the atmosphere, to the point where he took part in Los Ice Creams' most deadly, dastardly act... He busted out the sprinkles. It was really fun stuff. I was at the two nights at KOT featuring Glacier, and he was ridiculously over. It was insane.

To me, OKC will be the worst team this season.

This is a good question I would like to have answered. I wonder what Raven or any of the others stand to get by winning this lawsuit. It would be pointless unless there are "damages" involved, which only cold, hard cash can compensate for... I can't see Raven doing it just to make life better for others. What about him? What about Raven?

1. Who will win the MVP? Chris Paul 2. Who will win the Rookie of the Year? Beasley 3. Who will be the Coach of the Year? One of the following: Mo Cheeks, is Philly has an impressive year. Jerry Sloan, in a lifetime achievement kind of way. Scott Skiles, if the Bucks make the playoffs. 4. Who will be named to the All-NBA First Team? PG: Chris Paul SG: Kobe SF: Lebron PF: Tim Duncan C: Dwight Howard 5. Who will be the NBA's Most Improved Player? Not sure. Probably someone playing for a new contract. 6. What team had the best offseason? Sixers 7. What team had the worst offseason? The Warriors. At first, I assumed the Nets, but that was much more of an intentional dismantling of a team. The Warriors flat messed up. 8. Which team will be the most improved over last year? Sixers 9. Which team will be the biggest disappointment? Either the Mavericks or Spurs. Expectations are low in the East, but those two teams aren't getting any younger. 10. What was the best offseason move? Philly getting Brand 11. What was the worst offseason move? ATL losing Childress. Yeah, I know he's a key reserve/sixth man, but they are a young team and I don't see them making a return to the playoffs this year. 12. Who will make the playoffs that didn't last year? Portland 13. Who will not make the playoffs that did last year? Denver 14. Who are the best five players in the league, position aside (weak-sauce question, I know)? To me, Lebron, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Kobe 15. Who will be the division winners? Boston (just eeking out Philly), Washington, Cleveland, Utah, Lakers, Hornets 16. Eastern Conference Final: Celtics over Sixers in 6, with the Celtics veteran's prevailing 17. Western Conference Final: Lakers over Jazz in 7, with the Jazz's over physical, foul prone style of play coming to haunt them. 18. Who will win the NBA Title, and who will they beat?: Given the previous predictions, it'll be Lakers 19. Who will be the #1 pick in next year's draft? Not sure. I'm not up on college players. 20. Make one bold prediction. By season's end, Detroit will begin a reconstruction project.
