They later explained it as their farewell to the classic line up.

That is pretty much what I imagined happening. That or rolling around 5 times after taking a frankensteiner.

We've all become slackers, I guess.

Wasn't Len Bias the guy who died after doing cocaine once?

??? I think he means that they were the victims of bias.

I can't believe they played "Kissin' Time" in the sound check. Amazing.

if Vince wanted to push the division... and beause Rock's at a stage where he'll never loose heat, I think that could actually be a fucking great idea! Not that I'm saying that he would be the second coming of the Great Sasuke, but I think he'd do great with the cruisers. Rock is always more motivated and energetic when he has matches with better workers. And his selling style is great. He'd make the 619 REALLY look good.

Steviekick's X-Factor for Lakers/Spurs tonight: Gary Payton and Karl Malone. These two guys want NOTHING else but to win the championship this season. They will do whatever they can to put away the Spurs tonight. LA/SA has been THE best series so far this play offs. Miami/NO was pretty good, and Miami/Indiana is starting to take off.

I was on the opposite side of that

double post.

Fantastic Four is on fire at the moment. The Hereafter arc was awesome and the last issue of it was VERY satistfying. This 2 parter with Johnny and Spider-Man has also brought the laughs, especially Ben paying Franklin off to annoy Johnny. Waid is a pretty fun writer, especially his run on the Flash (though his JLA last couple arcs were a bit confusing. 6th Dimension Aliens???). Waid's talent is being able to write super heroes like they are every day people. They can be serious, but they just come across as acting like people that you know.

I'm a smark but an average sized slob.

I kind of always imagined him being pretty close to his current state. One of the few smarks I met in college always preached about how great SK is/was and he was a big fat slob, so I kind of imagined that SK would be, too.

who currently has ACL problems like VICTORIA

This never did come to fruition *punches Agent* But we've come very close.

Wow. Rocky's coming back to win the Cruiserweight title.

who was the subject of an old WCW magazine which featured THE GIANT on the cover

Both of the Utah Jazz' trips to the Finals

I think he's hovering around 240.

and RVD was a plant in one of his "I'm so mean because I'm rich" skits

Hey, Teal Dude, I don't see the Utah Jazz bagging all the nationally televised ABC games... as a Jazz fan, I was pissed. The only national game they were in was against Golden State on MLK Day. One freaking game.

Next weekend I'm going to Philly to check out the Wizard World East show. I'll be posting all the interesting things I see/hear there in this thread and stuff like that. I've never been to one as large as this, so what suggestions do you guys have for me?

I thought parts of ET were cool, but they really didn't justify Hal going nuts and killing everyone over the course of three issues. That should have taken at least six. I thought how Kyle wound up with the ring was actually cool. He just wound up with an incredibly random responsibility.

Thanks. Wrestlemania and the show the night after will be up tonight.

Well, everyone else is posting their fantasy booking, so here's mine based on my matches on PS2's SM: SYM. The Backstory to my promotion, Championship Wrestling Federation, is this, It used to be a big promotion starting in the mid 1980s and temporary folded in 2001. In January of 2003, CWF returned with the "Genesis" PPV, where the titles and the promotion was reinstated. The history will be gone into detail at a later date, but basically it is a combination of the history of WWE, NWA/WCW, and ECW. Basically the roster combines all the big names and smark favorites from the last 20 years. World Heavyweight Championship History Jan. 2003: Ric Flair (wins via one night tournament at Genesis PPV over Hulk Hogan, the Rock, Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Sting, HHH, and the Undertaker) March 2003: Kevin Nash via pinfall of Ric Flair after Jackknife Powerbomb May 2003: Undertaker via pinfall of Nash after Tombstone Piledriver July 2003: The Rock (wins triple threat match against Undertaker and Kane) Nov. 2003: Rob Van Dam pins the Rock with the Van Daminater (RVD goes on to succesfully defend the title against many of the top names, including Austin, Rock, Flair, Hogan, Undertaker, and Shawn Michaels) Jan. 2004: Sting United States Championship History Jan. 2003: Chris Jericho (awarded title after second place finish in battle royal at Genesis) March 2003: Owen Hart April 2003: Brock Lesnar May 2003: Tazz June 2003: Jushin Liger July 2003: Kurt Angle Nov. 2003: Bret Hart Jan. 2004: Tazz (via Angle run in) Tag Team Championship History Jan. 2003: The Hardy Boys (awarded title after Matt Hardy wins battle royal at Genesis) Feb. 2003: Mikey Whipwreck and Tajiri March 2003: Raven and Matt Hardy May 2003: Tommy Dreamer and Jeff Hardy May 2003: The Dudley Boys (Dreamer and Hardy held title for only a week) June 2003: Booker T and Goldust Aug. 2003: Kevin Nash and Scott Hall Oct. 2003: Booker T and Goldust Dec. 2003: Bradshaw and Farooq Jan. 2004: Booker T and Goldust Cruiserweight Championship History Jan. 2003: Billy Kidman (wins title in a ladder match against Rey Mysterio, the Hurricane, Chavo Guerrero, and Christian) March 2003: Christian May 2003: Rey Mysterio Aug. 2003: Jushin Liger Sep. 2003: Chris Benoit Dec. 2003: Chavo Guerrero Women's Championship History Aug. 2003: Trish Stratus (awarded the title via fan poll on promotion's web site) Nov. 2003: Jazz Dec. 2003: Victoria Recent Angles/Stable history • Raven's Flock: Debuted as Raven, Stevie Richards, and Victoria. After failing to gain the Tag Team Titles from the Hardy Boys, Raven was dejected. Stevie convinces the Hardys, as well as Lita, to join forces. Eventually Raven throws Victoria out of the Flock thanks to Lita's influence. Stevie soon leaves as he sides with Victoria, and Jeff Hardy leaves the group. Jeff and Raven's long time nemesis Tommy Dreamer wind up feuding with Matt and Raven. • The Triple Threat: Shane Douglas and William Regal form the Triple Threat by debuting the next big thing, Brock Lesnar. Lesnar flips out and disbands the alliance after losing the US title, injuring Douglas and Regal for some time. • Undertaker/Kane: Taker and Kane have been feuding for years, as Kane blames Taker for smashing his face in earlier in his career. Neither have a supernatural persona whatsoever and are not related. • nWo: An alliance of the backstage clique of Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, X Pac, Shawn Michaels, and Justin Credible get booked together on screen as a mega heel group. • Evolution: Originally debuted as the Four Horseman, with HHH, Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Bradwhaw. Bradshaw is kicked out of the group and HHH emerges as the groups leader and the faction than becomes known as Evolution. • The Hogan feud: When the promotion returned, it was on screen GM Vince McMahon's goal to get rid of Hogan. Vince tried unsuccsesfully, allying himself with Hogan's old enemies Roddy Piper and Randy Savage, and even the Big Show. Feud is pretty much dropped in favor of a Savage/McMahon feud where Savage becomes the face GM to McMahon's heel GM. The original feud was based on Hogan's screwing over of other talent back in the day, and as a result, none of the other faces in the promotion ally themselves with Hogan on air. Current Roster: Legion of Doom, Chavo Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Tommy Dreamer, The World's Greatest Tag Team, Jushin Liger, Victoria, Stevie Richards, Mike Awesome, Rey Mysterio, Sting, Bill Goldberg, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, British Bulldog, Cactus Jack, Kanyon, Ultimate Warrior, Justin Credible, Scott Hall, Randy Savage, Rosie,Albert, Big Show, Billy, Billy Kidman, Booker T, Bradshaw, Brock Lesnar, Bubba Ray Dudley, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Christian, Chuck, D-Von Dudley, Edge, Eddie Guerrero, Farooq, Goldust, Hulk Hogan, the Hurricane, jeff Hardy, kane, Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, lacne Sorm, Lita, Matt Hardy, Al Snow, Maven, mark Henry, Molly, Ric Flair, Rico, RVD, Rock, Shawn Michaels, Spike, Jazz, Stacy Kiebler, Stephanie McMahon, Steve Austin, Tajiri, Test, Torrie Wilson, HHH, Randy Orton, Shawn Stasiak, Trish Stratus, Undertaker, William Regal, X-Pac Former Recent Wrestlers: Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, Scott Steiner, Terry Funk, Shane Douglas, Ultimo Dragon, the Great Muta, Nova I'll be back later to post the results/recap of the April PPV, Wrestlemania.
