Grenouille

CD Japan usually has the best prices and keep the exchange rate as current as possible.

So, that's like 10 bucks? No, closer to $1,000. The Yen has been getting stronger against the dollar as have most other currencies as of late.

New Japan was selling a replica of the old IWGP belt, but it was 100,000 Yen.

No, it doesn't play American games, I'd guess it'd need some kind of mod too.

*groan* I need that game. Do you have both versions? Yeah I have both. If your looking to pick up KOC I'd hold off a little bit though. KOC 2 is coming out this summer and everything will be on one disc. Good point. Was there a way to import/export wrestlers with the first KOC discs? I always wondered how you'd have specific matches since there are different sets on different discs.. I have a Japanese PS2 so it's pretty simple for me, i don't know how they do it with the flip top or other mods. Basically when the Green disc is in there's a prompt that asks you if you want to "fuse". When pressed the door opens and you insert the Red disc, then it'll open again for telling you to put Green back in.

From King of Colosseum Antonio Inoki & Seiji Sakaguchi VS Keiji Mutoh & Masahiro Chono (me) Back and forth match with many nearfalls at 2.9. Eventually everything broke down with Chono and Sakaguchi in the ring. I get Sakaguchi into the STF, I think the match is done...and rope break. I regroup and hit a high angle powerbomb on him which gets 2.9 when Inoki comes for the save, which prompts Mutoh to join in. Inoki knocked Mutoh out of the ring and gave me a power ball enzuigiri dropping Chono, who gets up groggy to get a jumping high knee from Sakaguchi which gets the pin at 58:59.

Hopefully they'll be variants for this series too, an Astros Nolan Ryan would be nice. Hopefully they'll announce the NHL legends soon. I hoping for a Bruins Bourque for the fans who don't want to pay $300 for the rare variant on eBay.

They look pretty good. The lineup is kind of underwhelming. This series has definite great possibilities to for many waves to come though. Grenouille who is waiting out for a Ted Williams & Yaz.

Osamu Nishimura and his corner post of doom.

If I were him I'd take 20 years of name recognition against 2 years of lukewarm business. This company SHOULD be the World Wrestling Federation.

Has anyone else had a problem with the Fenway bug? Everytime someone hits it into the corner at the end of the monster, your CF gets stuck and usually won't get to the ball until the runner gets to 3rd or if they're fast an iside the park HR. I got swept by Toronto during the first month of my season due in part to this crap, who the hell do they have testing?

What they should have done from the start, is throw the pandas a few bucks and draw up a new logo that doesn't represent "attitude", then they don't go through the whole name change and such. I'd still believe McMahon would jump at the chance to get the old name back in a minute.

Lord of the Rings (Fellowship of the Ring) 8/10 - I went in thinking it would be utter crap and came out very happy with 3 1/2 hours of stuff I saw. Now, on to part 2.

Blackistone was the one that talked about 'blood capsules'. This show is shit without Bob Ryan.

Other - Theme from Rocky XIII(Rye or the Kaiser)

I just got a few new discs in from CD Japan and Amazon. From CD Japan Tiger Mask Vol. 1 J Cup 1994 Vol. 1 & 2 NJPW Complete Collection Vol. 2 Glory Superbit Spider-Man Superbit From Amazon American Wedding & Bad Boys II DVD Aficionado is good for keeping track of things, but does anyone know of a site that contains lots of foreign discs too? I can't put some of the Japanese Superbit discs in w/aficionado.

Best - King of Colosseum Worst - Nitro

Yeah probably more money than it'd take to patch things up with the pandas and get their name back. Sounds terrible.

I would guess Kensuke will go back with NJPW, Choshu will retire, Tenryu will freelance, and Anjoh will head back to AJ.

The Red Sox always have found ways to waste money, here's a few off the top of my head.. Andre Dawson, Frank Viola, Rob Deer, Tom Brunansky(technically a trade, but they kept him too long), Jose Offerman, Ricky Henderson, John Burkett, Tony Clark, Carlos Baerga, David Cone, Hideo Nomo(promising at first, but on the whole a bust), Ed Sprague, Dante Bichette and on and on....

Does anyone else wish they would port this game to PC? Imagine unlimited CAWs, importing music and most importantly graphic add-ons, like the NHL PC series. I think there's lots of potential in this rather than another port of the Raw series.

That was his debut match. Suzuki as a singles wrestler sucks, unless he's carried. His best stuff was in NJPW in tags since he was in the ring for short spurts that wouldn't expose him.

NFL - Super Bowl XXXI MLB - '99 AlCS & '03 Aaron who? This list should only get longer as Sox fan. NHL - '95 playoffs, Nords final year in Quebec #1 in the East=1st round exit. '98 Playoffs Avs make a 1st round exit and blame the Olympics. '02 Game 7, 7-0 loss to the Wings, & '03 losing to fluke team in the 1st round.

Boston Globe writer Dan Shaughnessy's book from 1990, is where the Curse name came from and has been driven into the ground ever since. Next year...
