Pretty much every band after the 1960's (and a whole lot of bands during the 60's) have been just sorta average. Every band has their detractors, and every band has their diehard fans. Except Candiria, because they're below suck.

You owe me a new keyboard. My buttons are all sticky.

For Mick Foley AJ Styles LowKi Most ECW workers Against Jeff Jarrett That's it, really. The only wrestler I absolutely, 100% CANNOT STAND is Jarrett.

Michael Jackson is about 1,000,000X better than anything you listen to now. I'd type up some non-witty response about how my musical taste now is better than before, as I don't listen too much to child-molesting pop singers and try to find music that has some personal attachment lyrically and musically, but alas, I'd rather jerk off to a picture of Bea Arthur.

Wow. NM was the first person to mention Shadows Fall. I'm surprised Agent didn't do it to start off the thread. And, certainly, I'll agree to an extent. Of One Blood shows a shitload of promise...but The Art of Balance sorta dropped down, and The War Within is pretty fucking boring. All of the energy from Of One Blood seems to have disappeared, and now Jonathan Donais and Matthew Bachand just sort of do standard metal riffs while Brian Fair screams wannabe Hatebreed lyrics. Speaking of which...Hatebreed is the single most painfully average band I've ever heard. There's no energy to the music, no true hooks, and the riffs are just slapped together. It's insulting to hardcore and metal, and, most of all, insulting to music in general for this band to have as many fans as they do. I can also make an argument for Nile, about how all of their songs sort of blend together without any true distinction, and they're mostly surviving off of a gimmick (using Egyptian history and mythology as a lyrical source, for the few of you not in the know) and an insane drummer. And fuck Led Zeppelin while I'm at it. Write a song that isn't filled with the same riff over and over again, Jimmy. Re: Van Halen vs. Nirvana Van Halen's song structures are, basically, all the same. Eddie is overrated as fuck as a guitarist, and the band wouldn't have gotten big if David Lee Roth wasn't a charismatic-as-fuck frontman.

I bought the book that the movie was based on, In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash, and I have to say that it is incredibly boring, and not nearly as funny as the movie is (and the movie is only based off of the second chapter of the book). I love the movie, but overexposure is a BAD thing for a seasonal picture.

And a teenage girl that is from Beverly Hills slaying all sorts of vampires and demons and such IS realistic, eh? I see more people start singing randomly during the day than I do blonde bombshells shoving stakes through the heart of bloodthirsty ghouls, but maybe that's just because I'm in Massachusetts. Nor do I, because you don't look like you'd have a good singing voice. So you couldn't get past the scene where the musical performance is entirely realistic, as Catherine Zeta Jones' character is a stage performer doing her act? Chicago's songs were all pretty solid, both in terms of making sense and in composition. In fact, the only one I can think of that didn't really make sense to the rest of the plot was when Queen Latifah was singing about the rules, and even that made sense considering the state of mind of Renee Zellwegger's character. Everything else was either a pretty clear delusion from Zellwegger's character, or an actual performance.

The people that go to non-RoH or "smark-oriented" shows of indies that try to ruin everybody's fun by shouting smark chants. "Wow, that was fucking fake!" was yelled a few times at an NECW show, and I was pretty angry, because that's the only company I can go see and revert to being a mark again.

Which is sad, because the shows were terrible.

Ron "The Truth" Killings (2002) Raven (1995-1998) Chris Jericho (1998-2000) HHH (2000-2001) AJ Styles (2002-2003) Jerry Lynn (1998-2000) LowKi (2002-2003) Steve Corino (1999-2001) Jake "The Snake" Roberts (1988-1992) "Rowdy" Roddy Piper (1983-1990) Tommy Dreamer (1997-1999) Shawn Michaels (1995-1997) Mick Foley (1995-2000) Eddie Edwards (2003-2004) Hayabusa (1995-2000) Megumi Kudo (1995) Alexis Laree (2002-2003) Trish Stratus (2001-2004) Mercedes Martinez (2003-2004) Trinity (2003)

Johnny Nitro SHOULD be. Along with Alexis Laree.

Killings. Nobody else deserves to be near the title after putting up with so much shit from the front office - and still working hard - as Killings. The only one that comes close is Styles, but Styles/Jarrett don't have as much chemistry as Killings/Jarrett do. Remember the back-to-back ***1/2-**** bouts they had in November '02 for the World title? Outside of the shitty finishes, the matches were very, very solid brawls, with tons of heat, and everything was well-timed and well laid out.

I don't think the problem with the jokes isn't so much that we don't have a sense of humor, as a lot of the comes across as forced. There was a good idea in placing sitcom stars into TNA at random, and then talking about fake feuds as if they actually happened, but, in my opinion, RHR took it one step too far, and, in the process, create things less funny than my drunken Rush that I did for one of the shittiest editions of TNA ever earlier this year. Not to say he didn't try, because he did, but he tried too hard is all. If we stuck to talking about sitcom stars as if they were actual wrestlers, the thread wouldn't have died so early, dig?

Most underutilized worker: Ron "The Truth" Killings takes this home for the second year in a row. A breakout star in 2002, and a solid mid-carder in 2003, the man has talent that TNA refuses to let loose, or refused once Jeffy Jeff got the book and put his friends (Watts, Russo) on TV more than those that deserved to be. He had a damn good match with AJ Styles for the NWA World Heavyweight title, and then, the following week, put on an extremely strong showing in the King of the Mountain match. He can cut great promo's, can put on very entertaining matches, and is probably the only thing close to a marketable worker TNA currently has (as Styles has the talent in the ring, but not the right gimmick/character, and nobody else is close to being something even resembling a draw). Mishandled feud: Jeff Jarrett vs. Anybody. Why? Because you knew Jarrett would come out on top in the end. Angle most royally screwed: XXX vs. AMW. What could have been built off of last year's terrific feud that elevated the NWA World Tag Team titles to heights they haven't seen in over a decade was based around the false idea of respect, and the true "hatred" between the two teams was never really capitalized. Booking 101 states that the heels go over the faces until the blowoff. AMW went over XXX in every match. EVERY. MATCH. That's TERRIBLE booking. Most wasted talent: Raven. With what could have been a magnificent bloodfeud between Raven and The Gathering (CM Punk and Julio) being thrown to the shitter because Dutch listened too much to Jeffy Jeff (who does not like Raven on a personal level, and disagrees with him always, despite Raven's list of successful feuds booked by him)* and had a series of under 10-minute long tag bouts, the majority of which didn't even feature Raven, but instead The Sandman and/or Terry Funk. There could have been the chance to get Raven over huge as the tweener the character is designed to be at Road to the Cage, as after injuring Chris Harris and taking him out of the ring for a period of time, and already having proven he could hang with Jarrett the year prior, the title shot is, instead, given to AJ Styles, who was not the number one contender, nor had he been for some time. This is not to be seen as an insult towards AJ, as I completely marked out when he pinned Jarrett, but it should have been Raven in the cage, and Raven holding the title after the match. So, basically, it's the usual suspects. The people that TNA pushes are the ones that don't really deserve it (the only ones that remotely do being Styles, and possibly Monte Brown considering how over he's gotten since returning back in February/March), and the ones that they should push (Raven, Killings, Kash, even Abyss) are the ones that get shit on.

Prolly 6 or 7. I just walked up to my mom, and said "tell me the truth, is Santa real?" She laughed and said no, so I just went "okay...so where do you hide the presents?"

They're 8. They have no musical taste yet. Though, when I was 8, I liked George Thorogood and Michael Jackson and practically nobody else, so hey.

Hell yeah she is. Plus...STIFF AS SHIT! If you have a chance to catch one of the Nikki Roxx/Mercedes Martinez bouts from earlier this year in NECW, do so, because Mercedes just kicks the SHIT out of Nikki.

Doesn't change the fact that Mercedes Martinez should be signed.

Sorry that we can't all like pussy music, Paragon. Some of us happen to embrace the testosterone in our system. As for Nirvana...fuck Nirvana. The only "revolution" they lead was one that brought a bunch of pussy-ass suburban kids into the world of heroin and hating their parents for no fucking reason whatsoever, all while complaining about not having money when they're too lazy to get a fucking job, and whenever they DO have money they blow it on weed or McDonald's. Fuck kids.

I think it looks better than a few of the SD ones. I hope it's not like SD where you only get 2 Finishers. I loved in No Mercy/WM2k how you could have around 9 of them, so you could more accurately create an actual wrestler moveset-wise.

I know it's based off of a book, because we read the book in either 3rd or 5th grade, and then watched the movie. I distinctly remembering one scene where the girl that wanted to play Mary said they could steal a baby from a carriage at the supermarket. Shit...what the fuck was it called...GAH!

Now they need to sign Mercedes Martinez to get over with the Latin market. And Rich...I just made a post about how they need to bring Alexis up to add some muscle to the Women's division at Death Row. Alexis, Mercedes, and (assuming she's talented at all) Angel would make it pretty good, since Molly and Trish can work decent bouts. I'd love to see Trish get a knife-edge from Mercedes, though...

THIS JUST IN! The joke of the NWATNATVC promotion has lived past its death. Fans have cried for the mockery of a wrestling company to end, and Panda Energy has recently pulled its funding, assassinated Jerry Jarrett, and FoxSportsNet has used the television contract for toilet paper. -WrestlingObserver.com

"Help! There's an ewok caught in that escalator!"

Yeah. Wilson and Chan had a lot of chemistry. More than Chan and Tucker, IMO.
