I agree. Dusty's got NOTHING on you.

So...Hatebreed sucks.

If I see one more video from a punk band involving the members wearing a shirt and tie just to be "ironic," I'm going to go piss myself.

You think so, Laz? I've never heard of Bury Your Dead, but am more than familiar with FSU. I still sometimes check out the beatdown boards, just for the shits and giggles. They showed up at Horrorfest '04 when the Misfits headlined the first night, and the other bands on the bill (in the order they played) were Day to Dismember (emocore, sucked), Zombie Apocalypse (pure zombie-loving insanity), The Ducky Boys (go, Boston punk, go), Bury Your Dead (better than Hatebreed, and amazing live), and The Deadites (fun little comedic horror/wrestling-based techno group, but totally on the wrong bill). The FSU was there for Zombie Apocalypse (which was their warm up) and Bury Your Dead, where they nearly knocked my girlfriend out had this kid Bill not pushed her out of the way (I was shoved into somebody else so my attention was distracted). We (me, my buddies Jason and Petone, and a few kids that were near us, including Bill) were going to go pick a fight with them, but then realized that not only would we be brutally murdered, but worse yet, we'd be thrown out before The Misfits. So yeah. Fuck the FSU.

Don't worry, unless you're a woman who doesn't enjoy beer. ...Ah crap. Which is why you need to come to MA, hang with me and Frigid, and get drunk. ...amongst other reasons, of course.

That would be pretty anti-ECW, and would piss off the Mutants. Why? Dreamer and the Dudleyz have NEVER gotten along story-wise, and remember who broke Beulah's neck? Buh Buh Ray and D-Von. RVD and Sabu split paths in late 1999/early 2000 when it became apparent to Sabu that Fonzie was favoring Rob. RVD and Taz never got along, even in Fonzie's Triple Threat (which lasted all of...a month, if that). Sabu and Taz? The feud that was such a big part of ECW that it headlined their first PPV? Yeah. Them teaming makes sense. If they want to do a tag main event to not have anybody's heat taken away, make it, like, Masato Tanaka/Chris Benoit vs. Tajiri/Eddie Guerrero, or something. Though I'd greatly prefer the main event to feature Tommy Dreamer in some capacity, as he WAS ECW.

Wow. Everything about that movie makes it look like a Hard Boiled ripoff. The cover especially (two men staring down the barrel of one another's gun, the font used for the title, the car in the background, even the clothes they're wearing).

Slayer - Reign In Blood Originally, I was more in Seasons than I was Reign. But with repeated listenings, the 30 minutes (if that) on this album are perhaps the most aggressive 30 minutes in rock history. I'm thoroughly convinced of this, too. Metallica - Master of Puppets All but one song is virtually perfect to me. I can't really describe why I like it better than Ride, though Justice can suck a dick (it was a 3 song album with the majority of the songs being filler, get over it), but maybe the fact that I greatly dislike the song "Trapped Under Ice" more than I dislike "The Thing That Should Not Be" has a lot to do with it. Oh well. Iron Maiden - Still Life Though I prefer songs off of Number of the Beast better than I do Still Life, it's the production I really love. It's much, MUCH better than Number, and the songs don't seem to SOUND as cheesy as those on Number do ("22 Acacia Avenue" and "Invaders" being my prime examples). Megadeth - Rust in Peace I used to love Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? until I actually listened to more than "Wake Up Dead" and the title track. Rust is just, all-around, awesome. Dave's creative peak, as it was his branch between writing thrash classics and just penning some stellar songs (I'd argue that Youthanasia and Countdown to Extinction are better than Killing is my Business... and Peace Sells...).

If I don't go solely for the main stage, you all have permission to shove a SoBe bottle (flavor of your choice) up my ass. What? The second stage has Rob Zombie (who ALWAYS puts on a killer live show), The Haunted, Bury Your Dead (which'll surely bring out the FSU in Boston), Mastadon, and Arch Enemy. Fuck...the second stage would be better than the main stage if it wasn't for Maiden. Manson's fanbase is the smallest it's been in years. KoRn broke up because Head is pursuing religion. Disturbed is busy working on their third album, I think, and Slipknot will just be coming off of the Subliminal Verses tour (so will Shadows Fall, though), so I doubt they'd want to tour. Besides...Manson hasn't sold HALF of the albums Maiden has sold in their 20+ year career. These past two years have had the best lineup's for OzzFest...well...ever. Every band has their own cult following, and the bands on the mainstage have either been huge for a while (Ozzy, Maiden), are about to break it big (Shadows, KSE), or have a growing cult fanbase (BLS). So explain to me why they should feature inferior bands that would probably charge more money to be on the tour than the current bands, when the bands you think younger fans want to see are out?

The guitarist/bassist spitting up blood in death metal videos. Hardcore videos with "scratched" black and white footage of them in concert, while the vocalist bounces up and down. ...Brian Fair swinging that fucking microphone...

I'll forever hate Whedon for Alien Resurrection.

Well, I enjoyed Pluto Nash more than I did a barrage of Murphy's non-Beverly Hills Cop 80's hits...sooooo...

And then imagine the lawsuit, and the breaking news on 1wrestling. I agree with Bobo. TNA would be wise to send their former ECW stars to this show, as it WOULD garner them more exposure. Hell, even put it into the contracts that whoever's doing commentary NEEDS to comment on the fact that TNA-wrestlers on the show WORK for TNA. Hell, asking for some publicity instead of an enormous fee, or just not doing it at all? Sounds like a good deal to me.

ROARING ELBOW~!!~!~ TORNADO DDT ON THE STEEL CHAIRS!~!~!~!~! WARRIOR SPIRIT NO-SELL OF SICK GERMAN SUPLEX~!~!~!!~!~!~ ...I <3 Tanaka. This little piece of news just made me buy the show.

So why not put him over somebody whose career could end the next week on a bad bump, considering the severity of his back injury just 5 years prior? EDIT: Oh yeah, on-topic... NECW MARCH BADNESS '04 "The Promise" Antonio Thomas vs. Maverick Wild© for the NECW Heavyweight title Near-fall's galore in this solid ***1/2 match. However, the spot that should have ended it happened a few moves before the finish, when Maverick Wild nailed the Catatonic on Thomas from the middle rope (I believe that was this match when it happened), only for Thomas to kick out at 2. I think the finish was something closer to a roll-up, or something. I only saw the match once, when it was live, and I haven't been able to get ahold of a tape yet, so alas.

Never will happen. Trytan is fucking terrible in the ring, and Brown still has a good way's to come (though I will admit that he's far better than he was even six months ago). ...and? Jim Duggan's been wrestling for longer, and he's always been terrible. One's career length has little to do with their talent. I'm not disagreeing with DDP's ability to pull off good work even while not under pressure, but to say Jarrett can work is, to me, a bit of an overstatement. Seeing as how I pretty much begat the Jarrett hate here (or was at least one of the first few to really stand by the "Fuck Jeff Jarrett" phrase), my reasons for disliking him are simple: he can't work a match outside of what he's used to. He needs to be carried in most of his matches, and his best matches have been overbooked to all hell. He's never given me much of a reason to care for him in the ring, be he a face or a heel, and hasn't had a match worth watching since King of the Mountain last year. And how many of those people that can put on good/great matches are actually at the position on the card that they should be? Sabin should be a CONSTANT contender to the X-Division title (and a heel, but that's neither here nor there), Styles should be in the main event, Brown is over enough with TNA fans to be in the main event, DDP is pretty much the only old-timer leftover from WCW that can still work a decent match (this is a long-winded, mean way of saying "sure, keep him there," FYI), and Daniels should be in the main event as well (simply because of his ability to work ANY style of match with ANY opponent).

WCW's House of Pain was a steel cage similar to HIAC with the belt suspended above the cage, and you needed to climb atop the cage to retrieve it. There was a door in the top of the cage, and you needed to use a ladder to get to the door to open it and climb atop the cage.

And even when he was the young, cocky bastard out for respect, he was STILL a comedian about it all. Kash has never been about making wisecracks, and always been about being a prick.

So you wanna do what the picture in my sig says to do...?! Mike...WHAT THE FUCK?!

You act as if RVD was the first person to have a dragon on his shirt. I'm rather sure Ricky Steamboat would have something to say about that...or any Japanese wrestler that made an impact in America that got a shirt. But I will agree that the layout of the shirt is similar to an RVD shirt. And before RVD made the Five-Star Frog Splash his main finisher, other men in ECW were using it, including Mike Awesome, occasionally Sabu, and various luchadores they brought in. Let's not forget that D'Lo Brown was using it in the WWF before RVD, and Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr were the ones who pretty much invented it. By this argument, RVD is an Eddie Guerrero ripoff, which just isn't the case. As for Kash's Van Terminator, I'll give you that one a little bit, but his is different. He somersaults forward, does not usually use a weapon, and his opponent is almost NEVER placed in the corner (or at least wasn't when TNA still had the normal ring). And Steve Austin stole Killer Kowalski's tights. THAT MOTHERFUCKER!

Ah, the 911 Juvi Driver. Such a sweet, sweet looking move...but so dangerous because Juvi does it routinely to people bigger than him (which is just about everybody he wrestles).

You watch porn...and then come to TSM. Mike...seek therapy.

Actually, he doesn't need to drop 3LK or his "rapper personality" (and really, he hasn't been booked as a rapping wrestler since he was K-Kwik/K-Krush, and he only raps now and then) to become World champion. All he needs is for Dusty, Jeff, or whoever the hell else is in charge to realize how big of a star he could be (think about marketing him to black, "urban" fans, as that's his entire gimmick, and he actually LOOKS the part), and how he's never had a match where HE'S been the reason it wasn't as good as it could have been (in fact, I can't think of one Truth match that I didn't enjoy).

Just as Slapnuts! said, the characters are COMPLETELY different. Plus, that whole "hey, Kid Kash is better in the ring than RVD" factor. Maybe not as charismatic, but DEFINITELY an overall better wrestler. Plus, Kash's somersault Van Terminator OWNS the original Van Terminator.

Wow. I'll never be able to watch the "Thriller" video again.
