A few hype spots on Killings...so does this mean The Truth will finally get back to the main event where he fucking belongs and should have never been taken out of?

It lost credibility from me when all he talked about was how much he disliked everything about it. It's called "atmosphere," dumbass. "Some rock band"? Black Label Society is one of the bigger rock acts around these days. How is that "some" rock band? That'd be like calling 50 Cent "some" rapper.

Sabin should just be the complete prick heel he once was again...only slightly Eddie-ized. As in he's a prick, he knows it, and he just flashes a smirk every time he cheats. He doesn't always HAVE to cheat, but a lot of the time he does anyway. But yeah. Telling the gimmick-less to come up with gimmicks is a better idea than giving them ones that don't fit them at all.

A lot of people will openly blame the Heel Section, and its collapse, for the annoying chants your average TNA crowd produces. But no. The original clever chants in TNA all came from the Heel Section, and here's the thing: it was for whoever they felt had TALENT. "Hail Sabin" started via the Heel Section. All of the anti-Jarrett chants started via the Heel Section (and caught on shortly after Destiny). And when the Heel Section collapsed, smaller sections soon took their place...and we basically got a chanting gang war. Blame the Orlando crowds, mostly. They're the ones that do it. The Nashville fans? Just a few small groups of people would do clever/annoying (depends on your opinion of the chants) chants, and most of the crowd would cheer for their favorites (some of which were heels, some of which were faces, most of which were X-Division workers). The Orlando fans feel they must liven up the product, but when you think about the product since the placing of D'Amore to the head of booking until now, and then think of Dutch's reign as booker in late '03/most of '04, there's not much they need to really liven up. Sure, the guys are over as HELL in Orlando...but why chant for every single wrestler when most of them don't really deserve chants beyond some appreciate applause for a well-done spot or chain sequence? I understand "Joe's gonna kill you." I understand the small group of fans that do the Bentley Bounce (since Bentley has grown leaps and bounds since the teaming with Kazarian, and can actually cut a halfway decent promo now that he doesn't yell all the time). I understand chanting "BORING" at Jeff Jarrett (though I dislike AND like it at the same time, which is both awkward and hypocritical). I don't understand the consistency of dual chanting, creating rhymes and songs for every single wrestler on the roster, and yelling "THIS MATCH RULES" for every halfway decent bout (on the other hand, yelling for Sabin/Joe and Styles/Joe was ENTIRELY acceptable, as those matches did rule). Pick and choose your chants, people. The current TNA crowd, IMO. The early ROHbots were overly smarky and holier-than-thou, but also very entertaining. The Mutants were, up until the last year or so, a vital part of the show, as they were the first to let the boys and Paul E know what was working and what wasn't working (and then came the abundance of newcomer fans who thought that any MINOR slip-up required the accompanying "YOU FUCKED UP" chant; sorry, but if Corino has been working on Lynn's leg the whole match, and then Lynn goes to jump off of the top rope and slips a bit? That's not a blown spot, that's psychology, so shut the fuck up). The Orlando TNA fans are just annoying as shit. It's similar to this group of three or so fans at every Framingham NECW show: they'll constantly chant overly smarky bullshit during the matches (and that's just wrong considering NECW presents itself as a pretty old-school product; that, and the majority of its fanbase are young children and senior citizens, neither of which want to know about all of the inner-workings).

A DVD chronicling the entire Dreamer/Raven feud would be amazing. Maybe 2-disc with all of the interactions between the two (all of the matches against each other, and the clips of the matches of each other's that they interfered in, plus all of the promo's) spread out in chronological order. It'd be impossible for the E to get Raven's perspective on any of it since he's with TNA, but it'd still be great.

I hate fans that try to ALWAYS take the heat off of the boys and put it on themselves. And no, I don't mean the infamous Heel Section. I mean the current Orlando crowd for TNA. SHUT THE FLYING FUCK UP AND TRY LISTENING TO THE PROMO INSTEAD OF CHANTING THROUGH IT!! MAYBE YOU'RE MISSING VITAL PARTS OF THE STORY!!!

Metalcore has its place. Some of the bands do it right (Shadows Fall, God Forbid has their moments), but most of them are plain old terrible. Plus, there comes a time when you may want the steady beat and simplistic heaviness of hardcore with the melody and occasional complexity of metal in one song. Tack, check out Watch Them Die. They do a cover of a Bathory song, though I forget which one, on their Century Media debut, and the few tracks I've heard from them have been pretty impressive. Decent flow from straight-forward, balls-out metal to groove-laden hardcore and then the melodic Maiden-inspired melodies and harmonies. And yeah, I know about Overcast. I wouldn't have exactly called them metalcore, but more just straight-forward metal. Fair did a lot of growling for the vocalwork.

BG James and Erik Watts Bischoff Blonde and had a vendetta against Austin. Honestly, I can't remember who right NOW, but I do remember it being somebody that wasn't even in the company until Russo signed on. IIRC, Steve Blackman threw it on to fuck with both of them, since he was who they were feuding with. Likely Sid Vicious, and...Paul E? Ha-HA! It wasn't just two. Angle-wise, THREE men were under the Mr. Wrestling III mask. "Bullet" Bob Armstrong, BG James, and Vince Russo were all revealed to be Mr. Wrestling III. Frank Drevin, Police Squad, and he was trying to find the Undertaker Kimberly FALSE. It was originally meant to be Goldust, but it was never revealed who was behind G-TV.

The flesh on the forehead, and on the face in general, is thin, thus making it somewhat believable to see blood pouring from somebody's face than from their back.

I actually have a full list of songs I want played my wake and/or funeral I carry around with me at all times in my wallet. "Amazing Grace" on the pipes and "Freebird" are on there, plus an assortment of White Zombie, Slayer, and The Misfits.

Yeah, it does. Especially the "we don't negotiate with terrorists" line. But you have to at least give credit to Romero for still using zombies and gore as symbolism rather than the focal point. Night was about racism, Dawn was about the consumer mentality, Day had the whole anti-militaristic stance, and Land is a decent little satire of government (especially how the man in charge didn't BUILD the place but merely took it over and kept the best for himself). That...and I never noticed until I listened to Romero's commentary how the cage sequence was his parody of extreme sports.

"My Way" by Sid Vicious...heehee

Land gets shat on far too much. FAR, far too much. The symbolism in it, the cameos, and the zombie-munching fun that are lost in pretty much every non-Romero zombie flick that matters in the least make it worth watching. That, and Leguizamo fucking rules in every movie he's in. And Asia Argento is hot. Plus it beats the shit out of Day.

So, in other words, MTV shot themselves in the foot by flat-out saying that they don't want the majority of people who watch wrestling to see their product. Good for them. Though, it's MTV, so it's just going to be a bunch of people going "WHOOOOO!!!" for the camera and nothing else.

And he is the man.

Continuing with Blanka running with the car... When I was 7 or 8, I'd go to the YMCA after school as part of the after school daycare, since both my folks worked full-time and usually weren't there to pick me up until 4:30 or 5 (yeah, I was often one of the last 3 kids to leave). There was always this one backyard of a house the bus that took me from school to the YMCA passed by where I imagined Ryu and Ken hurling Ha-Do-Ken's at each other as Honda and Blanka traded slaps and claws.

They seem like they would be. Most musicians that try to do "experimental" heavy music are huge pussies.

^Nothing can top it. NOTHING.

I used to imagine Blanka from Street Fighter II running alongside the car.

And that's my problem with DEP, actually: it sounds like they're playing in different and awkward time signatures just for the sake of doing it.

Eh...it's not for everyone. A lot of people love them. Personally, I can't stand them, but I at least respect their musicianship.

DEP is mathcore, or at the very least they were. It's some weird form of metal and hardcore that plays in a lot of awkward time signatures and changes. Black Dahlia I would put under death metal. Musically they sound like their death metal forefathers of At The Gates and Carcass, with a little hint of Krisiun thrown in (listen to "Vulgar" and then Krisiun's "Evil God's Havoc" to see what I mean). Brutal and lovely.

I've watched Joe/Styles from Turning Point over and over for the past week since it's been available on OnDemand...and I agree with it being in the top 50 US matches. Maybe not world, but definitely top 50 US. And hello, Matt Cage.

Napalm > M-16. 'Nuff said.

Yeah, I just scanned over this page and saw you listening to "Orion." MC Lars - "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock"
