Judd Nelson uber alles.

AJ Styles (I don't think I've ever seen a bad performance from him) Raven (tied as an all-time favorite) Hayabusa/H/Eiji Ezaki (watched a few of my FMW tapes and really started loving him again) Eddie Edwards (future star, trust me) Chris Benoit (my friend Chris just bought the Benoit DVD yesterday, and we watched a couple of matches off of it, and I'm loving it)

^Yep. Putting Spanky with BG and Konnan would be career suicide because it would forever typecast him as "BG and Konnan's little weird buddy." I know his character on the indies isn't serious, in fact he's a big goofball, but doing lame sexual innuendo's and bad raps? That's pushing it too far.

Gwar's "Saddam-A-Go-Go" has a killer opening too. Just a few notes on a trumpet, a trombone, and a saxophone. The entire song is pretty much ska/metal, and it works oh so well. WE ALL SADDAM-A-GO-GO!

I knew Slayer and Metallica were my favorite bands once I realized how great a lot of their songs were. There's just an energy in 80's metal that's missing from too many bands these days.

Should be Randall, and it happened by accident. He just told the boss to fuck off because he was quitting because the pay sucked, and voila: management position with better pay. Why? Because he's got spunk. Also, Banky, when a movie series has 5 films in it? I think the phrase "Trilogy" is inappropriate.

Sabu has a pact with God to never, ever die.

...the fuck was that in reference to?

Nile sould be in the Top 10. One of the best metal acts EVER. Terrific songstructure, amazing brutality...everything a death metal band should be.

Well, I would like to see the movie about Dante moving on, actually went to college, and has some nice, cushy job somewhere where nothing is "his fault," and he comes back to Leonardo, NJ for somebody's funeral or something (here's hoping for Rick Derris, that high school studmuffin), and runs into Randall. Of course, that plot could just become your standard "executive rediscovers his roots" flick, but with Smith? It could work. Mostly I just want to see Randall own everybody again.

Even if my leg is broken, I'll still have enough strength in it to jump off of a 5-foot high pole and do a flip halfway across the ring.

Rebuttal: I'd have to agree. I like the overall look of the show a whole lot. Definitely makes it feel like it's a REAL sport, you know? It's just the matches I have problems with. Rebuttal: Definitely. They should first try to, I don't know, BUILD A FANBASE IN AMERICA. Rebuttal: No. Terrible idea. Hogan tanked WCW. Hogan tanked the XWF. Hogan would tank TNA, as they do not have as strong a brand recognition as WWE does, nor the monetary assets that the McMahon family does. He would add practically nothing to the product whatsoever, and would hold down the younger, better, more deserving talent (Kid Kash, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Ron Killings, Abyss, etc.) indefinitely. Statement: TNA needs to lay off the gimmick matches (Ultimate X, Six Sides of Steel, King of the Mountain, etc.) and establish their talent through regular matches first. Once feuds are ready for a big blowoff, pull out the gimmick matches.

I thought Quiet Storm just has the Storm Cradle Driver?

Was okay. Kinda boring.

Rebuttal: A-fucking-greed.

Rebuttal: Had TLC never taken place, the Hardy Boyz probably would still be a tag team, and Jeff would still probably be in the company. I would have preferred TLC's 1, 2, and 4 never taken place, as 1 and 2 were just replays of WM16's three-way Ladder Match, only with more table bumps, and 4 was basically "let's put Kane over." Statement: The WWE Style allows more injuries to happen and fewer great matches to occur than it does vice versa.

This really is simply because HHH dresses like he's going to an office whenever he's showing up for an event. Also, another reason the dress code is a dumb idea: They'll be wearing the nice clothes for all of an hour! Or, well, however long it takes them to get from the airport to the hotel, and then from the hotel to the arena. Once they get into the arena, they'll go to the locker room and put on their ring gear anyway, so what's the big deal?

Rebuttal: Squash matches only work at getting talent over to a certain extent. Once said talent is forced to work against talent as over, or more so, than he is? The squash matches do nothing but hurt both workers involved, as the squasher is exposed as just a talentless hoss, and the squashee is booked as a complete loser despite past win/loss records. Statement: If TNA is to succeed with monthly PPVs, Impact will need another hour, a better timeslot, and more attention must be drawn to the characters of the wrestlers.

But it does ruin our enjoyment of the product when something is THAT outlandish. This is a different beast than Amazing Red's Code Red, as that has some sort of validity to it (if somebody were to flip over you, hooking your arms with their legs, you'd fall backwards), albeit not much. If Petey were to go for a Victory Roll, where he sits on his opponent's shoulders, and then twist around and hit a piledriver out of it? I'd dig it. It would make some sort of sense. As it is? No. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a very great looking move. It's just that it exposes the business too much for me to really enjoy it.

It did benefit both. The WWF now had "Attitude," obviously based on ECW's more adult-oriented product, and ECW got national exposure.

The original SNICK lineup was: 8:00 PM - Clarissa Explains It All 8:30 PM - Ren & Stimpy 9:00 PM - Roundhouse 9:30 PM - Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Rebuttal: No way, no how. Sabu and Raven have the ECW-style feud to work with. They're both over with whatever crowd they work in front of. Sonjay isn't. Having Sonjay take Sabu's place a week ago and win over Raven was a dumb move anyway, as it took a TNA jobber (Sonjay) and put him over one of the top stars on the roster (Raven) cleanly. Bullshit.

Germany was a known ally of Japan. Germany declared war on the allies of the United States. Germany then declared war on the United States. Plus, there's that whole Holocaust thing this article seems to forget about. 1. Am I right that it was Bosnia that was having a situation similar to the Holocaust, or was that simply Yugoslavia? I always seem to get the two mixed up, so forgive me for my ignorance here. But I do believe Bosnia was doing some big-time bullshit that needed an outside army to interfere, and who else than the strongest military in the world? 2. 9/11 occurred during George W's presidency, not Clinton's. I understand the point beind made, but it's probably best to try and keep with the trend of only talking about incidents that occurred during that man's presidency. Where's the critiques of Regan and Nixon? Oh, right, they were Republican presidents, so they're guilt-free.

She's okay. Not as good as a lot of people make her out to be, and I think local wrestler Mercedes Martinez is eons better than her, but she's decent. If the only women you're comparing her to are Chyna and a lot of the WWE Divas? Then yeah, terrific worker. But compared to other female workers in the indies around North America? Alexis Laree, Mercedes Martinez? She's decent.

It exposes the business worse than any "behind the scenes" special could ever. Why? Because those aren't done DURING the show. The magician will never let the audience into the works of his act while he does it. Petey is doing just that.
