^Bingo. They cut Kevin Northcutt, who showed a lot of potential, and kept the guy that everybody in the back wanted to smack around for not knowing a headlock from a headband.

Harley Race, it looks like.

Blast some White Zomie, or maybe some cheesy dance/techno songs from Scatman John, Darude, God Lives Underwater, and others.

Get rid of it. Now. Metallica tribute albums begin and end with Metallic Assault.

My grandmother has Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, and it's me and my mother and my sister that take care of her when she's not in the nursing home, so I have an idea of what you're going through. Go with what everybody else is saying in regards to the rest of your family. Ask them when they last helped, and what they did to help recently, if they feel you're doing such a bad job.

I dunno. "Autobiography of a Nation" is a pretty good song.

Which one? The Blackest Album, with the industrial bands covering Metallica songs?

Yes, he did. My friend Chris just bought the Backlash DVD today, solely for Orton/Foley, and Foley kicked out of an RKO hit out of a Mandible Claw, but was then put away by an RKO onto Barbie.

You should also commend them for putting on really good fucking shows with workers that are less-than-amazing. Sheldon Goldberg = ownage.

The only thing I've ever done in road rage was to flip somebody off and curse them out. But I've been tailgated plenty of times, mostly while going 15-20mph higher than the speed limit. There's a road in Massachusetts, Route 85, that starts/ends in Milford and goes northeast through Hopkinton and Ashland (I always get off in Ashland, but I think it continues through at least Southboro). On my way home from the girlfriend's house, I took Rte. 9 to southwest on 85, and after passing the train station in Ashland, this asshole in a gray Pontiac Sunfire pulls out behind me. They were originally just sitting still in the parking lot, so I figured they were either waiting for somebody to get off/board the train out, or looking for something in their car. By the time I'm halfway through Ashland and heading into Hopkinton, they're right on my ass, and flashing their brights. Along 85 as you enter Hopkinton, there's a passing lane, and this section of the road is usually dead around 10-10:30 at night, which is when I'm usually on it. So I pull over a little bit to the right, and this asshole continues riding up by my bumper. It brought flashbacks to when I got rear-ended along 135 in Ashland (which has since made me weary of taking 135, the busier of the two ways, into Ashland/Framingham), so I turned my right blinker on. They wouldn't pass. Finally, I sped up, and was going about 50 in a 30 zone uphill. Redlight, the guy comes up behind me and stops, and when it turns green, I speed off like a bat outta hell down 85 towards Milford. They stopped riding my ass once I pulled into a sportsbar's parking lot, sitting there for a few minutes before going back towards Milford to get on 495 to get back home to Franklin. The same car passed by me, going the other way.

Abyss is so out of shape, he can go move-for-move with AJ Styles and NOT get winded (unlike a good chunk of the WWE main event scene). Just because somebody doesn't have the body of a Greek God doesn't mean that they're out of shape. As for Abyss staying in TNA...fine. I just hope that Jarrett understands he needs to PUSH the guy, now. Ditto Kid Kash. Ditto Christopher Daniels. Ditto Ron Killings, Chris Sabin, Johnny Devine...

I'd say '03 MOTY was Angle/Benoit at Rumble, OR Haas/Benjamin vs. Mysterio/Kidman from Vengeance '03.

Alpha Male Monty Brown Uber-green, and pushed to squash all opponents so that he can't really show off any true in-ring knowledge. Of course, I haven't seen the JJ/Brown match from Impact a month or so ago, which is reported to have been REALLY good, but I digress. Brown was better when he first debuted in TNA in the summer of '02 and feuded with Ron "The Truth" Killings and Elix Skipper. Hector Garza Very, VERY solid worker, with a lot of charisma and knowledge of psychology. Not overly fast, and definitely a more old-school wrestler, but he does have his fans, and I am one of them. Not World title material, but if TNA were to create a secondary title? He'd definitely be either the champion, or one of the top contenders to it. Petey Williams He shows a LOT of promise, but I just can't get over how terrible his finishing maneuver, the Canadian Destroyer, is. It's not that it's terrible in the sense that Hogan's legdrop was, or Rock's People's Elbow, or Scotty's Worm...it's just that it ruins the suspension of disbelief I have because it's OBVIOUS that the person taking the move is doing the majority of the work. The only time it's ever looked good was when somebody was trying to backdrop him, and he nailed it out of that.

I do dream of becoming a wrestler, but my dream went from working for WCW when I was 12 to working for the WWF when I was 13, and then working for ECW when I was 14 until its closing. Now, it's to get trained and work for New England Championship Wrestling. My preferred gimmick would either be (GASP!) Corey Lazarus or Andrew Crow. Lazarus would be the fratboy, degenerate type, the prick that makes bad jokes about his opponents and takes every shortcut possible in the ring. Crow is the brooding, depressed character, always self-doubting himself, but somehow finding a way to believe he can succeed. Theme songs would vary, depending on whether or not its used, but on the indies, I'd use Slayer's cover of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" for Laz, or White Zombie's "I, Zombie" for Crow. Wrestling style would be heavily influenced by the hardcore brawlers of the mid 90's, with a touch of strong-style thrown in, but mostly straight-up brawling.

I am "Vertigo" by U2.

Laz Votes: FINISHER: Black Hole Slam. Abyss' finisher has been the best this year, as it is simple, looks VICIOUS (you CANNOT tell me that you don't think Abyss is breaking somebody's ribs when he does it to them), and can be done to opponents of any size. TAG TEAM: Michael Shane/Frankie Kazarian. None of the other teams have gelled as well as these two. Considering I dislike both? That says something. I'd have said XXX, but Skipper seems to have NO drive anymore, and they were booked TERRIBLY this year. BABE: Traci. All the rest were either short-term deals or are fucking ass-ugly, or were fired. WHO TO WATCH: Johnny Devine. The man shows charisma in the ring, displays a solid understanding of timing and psychology, and just LOOKS like the perfect prick heel. MEMORABLE MOMENT: AJ Styles regains the NWA World title. For three simple reasons: FUCK - JEFF - JARRETT. MR. TNA: AJ Styles. He's put up with all of their bullshit, and still put on solid matches. Had a very good series with Abyss late last year and early this year, and even carried those sacks of shit Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett to watchable matches. X SUPERSTAR: Chris Sabin. Based on push alone, Sabin IS the X-Division. MOTY: AJ Styles vs. Abyss (Tables). No other match on the list was either as good, or I'd seen (since I, essentially, stopped watching TNA halfway through the year). I would have picked the King of the Mountain match had somebody - ANYBODY - other than FJJ won.

These bands make me want to gouge out my eardrums and learn sign language so that I'll never be able to hear their shit again. Avenged Sevenfold is TERRIBLE, because the music is pretty good...but the vocals are awful, and the lyrics even worse. The fact that people fucking LIKE them for any other reason than the guitarists are decent makes me wonder about the fate of humanity.

The only thing he had going for him was the Power Rangers outfits, though. He botched every other move (save for Team Mexico vs. Team UK, when he actually CARRIED his opponent to a vaguely watchable match), was slow as fuck, and tried shit he didn't look right doing.

Any band I've ever played for.

"Egg fuck" takes the cake. I called Kid Kash "Your New Favorite Wrestler" because of how awesome of a heel he is. And, of course, Abismo Negro is Abismo Sucko.

I own A Punk Tribute to Metallica, Post Mortem: The Tribute to Slayer, and Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica. The Slayer tribute ain't that bad at all, and Metallic Assault has a few good tracks on it (it's actually a mix-n-match of various metal artists together for a bunch of Metallica songs), most notably "Unforgiven" (with the singer from King's X bringing the awesomeness). Punk Tribute blows ass, though, save for Anti-Government's cover of "I Disappear."

Re: Raven's popularity If it weren't for the usual suspects, Raven would have headlined in WCW. He was just as over as the main eventers, if not even more so, and WCW missed the boat BIG TIME when they didn't give him any sort of major program following the DDP feud.

Ha. Haha. Posting my ugly mug. Oh boy, Banky, you got me on that one. HI-OOOOOOOOOO!
