This really is the best year ever. Too bad it's 13 years too late. That out of the way, I always wanted to bang Nicole Sullivan. Yeah the first season or two with Artie Lange and Orlando Jones had its moments but yeah it's an event that's long, long overdue. Has there ever been a less memorable show that's ran that long? Though I must say I'm kind of glad that they're keeping Talkshow With Spike Ferestein...surprisingly decent. Gives me something to watch during SNL reruns and commercial breaks.

"Hi kids- you might remember me as Sgt. Fatso Judson in From Here To Eternity!" *kids cheer wildly*

MAD TV cancelled? This could be a great day for comedy fans everywhere.

There was a guy named Robert Billcliff or something that had a very similar number to mine. There was a period of about a month or two where I'd get a call for him almost every day. From what I gathered, he owed a lot of money to somebody. Hope he's alright...

I agree with Mellow, picking for this round was a hell of a lot easier than the first. There were only one or two difficult matchups for me.

Venis may very well retire with the 'E. I don't see him getting released anytime in the near future. He's a good hand and seems to get a good reaction whenever he appears on TV. Then again, I said the same thing about Scotty 2 Hotty two years ago and look what happened to him. Both releases are a bit surprising but I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them back in the 'E eventually. Both have a lot of potential and have shown it when given the chance to. Burke should go to TNA, I bet they'd at least give him a good spot in the upper mid-card. I agree with HTQ, he should probably go to HTQ for some more seasoning.

Ooh let me play. Love me some Pixar 1. Wall-E 2. Finding Nemo 3. Toy Story 2 4. Ratatouille 5. Toy Story 6. The Incredibles 7. Monsters Inc 8. A Bug's Life 9. Cars I absolutely love The Top 5. And I at least kind of like 6 through 9.

I know this is a week old but I haven't seen it anywhere else here (and I'm not going to wade through a bunch CTDWAT pages) The Last Standalone VCR rolls off the assembly line 'Tis is a sad day. I believe the VCR played as pivotal of a role in the end of The Cold War as Regan and Gorbachev. Once The Russians saw our sweet way of life through bootleg VHS copies of Porky's, Rambo: First Blood Part II and Teen Wolf, they couldn't put up with communism for much longer.

Fun fact: Last major studio movie to be released on VHS? A History of Violence

Gotta love that mugshot.

Well yeah, I knew Frankie had died sometime ago. I just assumed he had gotten a new bird. Come on- you've got to find some humor in the dude having to look on Craigslist to borrow a bird! IT'S FUNNY DAMMIT!

I'm sort of in between on Elvis. Fascinating person but indifferent to a lot of his stuff. Weirdly enough, my favorite stuff of his is from the era after the '68 comeback special but before he became a total fat, drug addled bozo (Roughly '68 to '73ish). That last album he recorded in Memphis in '69 is pretty good. IIRC, he wanted to record an album at Stax Studios with Booker T and The M.G.'s backing him up around the same time period but The Colonel nixed it. Up there on the list of greatest albums that never happened.

Noah Fentz was Deon?

Scroty- what's the deal with Noah Fentz?

Group A "Build me up Buttercup" by The Foundations "Ring Of Fire" by Johnny Cash (The Sonics are a really fun band but I don't know if I'd put any of their songs that I'd put in a Personal Top 100 Songs of the '60s list) "8 Miles High" by the Byrds "I Can't Explain" by The Who ("Respect" has been forever soiled to me by this girl in my 7th grade class warbling it every day for like three months.

Most likely. Earl worked for JCP in the mid-'80s before jumping ship for The Main Event.

Wait- Noah Fentz was a gimmick? This is what I get for not boarding hard enough for the past month or so.

Amusing tidbit- I mentioned Koko B. Ware's going to be appearing at an indy show about an hour away from me this weekend. Well, apparently he is sans bird and is looking for one to borrow on craigslist... Oh how the semi-mighty have fallen

Hmm, he's appearing at an indy show here in Maine this weekend- I'll be sure to ask him if he'd consider running in '12 and give you guys the exclusive scoop! Koko B. Ware's going to be on the card too!

Yes to everyone listed.

I've decided since I've got a couple minutes free, I'd do another one of these. Let's talk about Diesel's WWF World title run. I think no one will disagree with me in saying that it was one of if not the worst WWF World title run. I've seen people defend Russo-era WCW. I've witnessed people heap praise on XPW, and I've seen people vehemently support the idea of the Ultimate Warrior making a comeback run in the 'E. But I never have nor do I expect to ever meet anybody who thought Diesel's WWF World title run was anything more than medicore. That being said, who to blame for the shittiness of the run. I'm going to play a role I'm not sure I've ever played in this thread, that of the apologist. That's right, I'm going to defend the man the IWC loves to hate...Kevin Nash. Now to rip off ESPN Classic, here's 4 Reasons You Can't Blame Kevin Nash for the shittiness of his title run (I couldn't think of five...) 4. Lack of Quality Heels: cabbageboy (of all people) made a good point one time about how their was a decided lack of good heels in '95 WWF. All the top guys; Diesel, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker,etc... were babyfaces! That meant you had Sid tusselling with stiffs like Sid and King Mabel for most of his run. A nonsensical heel turn by Davey Boy Smith didn't really help matters. Guys like Owen Hart, Bob Backlund, and Yokozuna had been effective as main-event heels in the past but were too jobbed out by that point to pose much of a threat and were thus relegated to the tag team division mostly. Bam Bam Bigelow should have been a title threat but was nonsensically turned babyface after jobbing to Lawrence Taylor at WrestleMania XI. After those guys for heels, you're left with a parade of hasbeens, never weres, up and comers who weren't quite there yet. 3. Terrible opponents Again- you're only as good as your opponent, while Diesel could be carried to a good match by a great worker like Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart, he was hopelessly lost against guys like Sid, Mabel, and Davey Boy Smith. 2. They tried to turn him into Hulk Hogan Nash is probably at his best as a sneering badass enforcer. He also works well as a sarcastic, lovable jerk. He does not work well as a plain, white toast babyface and that's what he was for the vast majority of his run- right down to a feud that nobody cared about with Sid. 1. Almost everything that year was terrible in the WWF Yeah, we can all agree that Diesel's run was terrible but would another Bret Hart run with the title have drawn any better? Would hotshotting the belt onto Shawn Michaels have steered the ship? WWF was still shell-shocked from the steroid trial and while they boasted about a New Generation- the storylines and characters were woefully stuck in the past. Diesel may have been at the forefront of all the crap- but he isn't completely to blame for it. So apologists, Nash haters, and all in between, let's discuss the first World title run of everybody's favorite wrestler, Kevin Nash.

Plain and simple, the supercard at a busy time in my life and by the time I've got a lot of time free to put the final touches together, I doubt many will care. I think a smaller draft and starting it earlier in the year so it could end during the summer would be nice.

Last one I swear! Stevie Wonder- "I Was Made To Love Her"

You know I like bob_barron, always will. But the only time I'm ever mildly offended by the use of the N word on this board is when it comes from him. Just one of those things that make you go hmmm.
