Better than last week but not that good. I'm convinced that this season will be the worst since '04-'05.

I forgot that Perry was in a bunch of stuff till I looked at his IMDB profile. It must have been odd to go from 90210 to Oz.

Welcome to 1998.

What the hell else does he got to do? Actually, you can say the same thing about virtually every 90210 castmember except Tori Spelling. She's got crappy reality shows on WE (or is it Oxygen?) to do.

She wasn't even good in WWE backstage skits, the chances of her having a credible acting career are slim to none. But yeah, I could see her on daytime soap.

My favorite mascot incident is probably Randall Simon whacking one of the racing sausages at Miller Park with his bat a couple years back. That fight earlier this week between two college mascots where one mascot ripped off the "head" of the other was pretty insane too. Those guys were really going at it.

I enjoy a couple of their singles but you're kind of right. I don't think I'd be particularly upset if they were erased from history and I'm the biggest fan of mediocre 90s alt rock on this board! Oddly enough, they were my older brother's favorite band for a couple years in the late 90s. He went to a concert (I think it was some third tier package tour like SnoCore or something) with the odd bill of Everclear, Soul Coughing and a pre-Fergie Black Eyed Peas opening up.

They showed commercials for them every day during Animaniacs when I was Grade 4. I never ever ever saw them for sale anywhere, despite really wanting them. They looked aweseome, let alone the Street Fighter and WWF ones. Just the other day, I had considered looking for them on EBay, or going to to a flea market to look for them. I actually looked on EBay after making that post and while I found some fighters, I couldn't find the launchers or the plastic playing fields. Ah well. I might rummage through my parents attic when I'm there next week to see what I can find. I remember I had the complete WWF set and the complete Power Rangers set. It answered the lingering question I had in my mind as child of who would win in a fight; The Green Ranger or Yokozuna.

This is another example of a show that I'm very nostalgiac for. Pretty much any Royal Rumble or Survivor Series up until '94, I have an unabashed love for. This show IMO is kind of underrated. Is the workrate great? No, but the card never really drags (the glaring exception being that stupid Doinks match) and as genius said- Bobby Heenan delivers his last truly great commentary performance. My personal MOTN would probably be the opener. As a mark, The 123 Kid and Marty Jannetty were my favorites so I went crazy when they ended up being the sole survivors. Runner up would be The random ass SMW Tag Team titles match. The main event was one of those matches where the build up to the match was a lot better than the match itself. Though the match was about as good as you can expect for that group.

I don't know if you're into basketball, Kinetic but The Sonics are playing that week against The Rockets and The Nuggets. It's probably their last year in Seattle. I also saw a segment on the Travel Channel about a 24 hour cafe there that serves a 12 egg omelette. Ah found the menu online http://www.bethscafe.com/menu_p1.htm

The only forum he truly sucks in is CE. Everywhere else, he's merely mediocre. That being said, the winner of the Worst Poster Tournament shouldn't go unpunished. Give him a stupid title or something.

Was anybody else's elementary school into Spin Fighters? Those were the shit. I think the happiest moment of my childhood may have been when I found out they had WWF Spin Fighters.

Strawberry Fruitopia has been making a minor comeback for the past couple years. I only see it in fast food fountains and it's the only kind of Fruitopia I see but by golly, it's still hanging in there.

Whoever wants to start this week's Let's Talk About... can do so now.

I must be the only mark for the evil basketball player gimmick that Mark Jindrak had for about a minute and a half on WCW Saturday Night in late '99. Heck, I may be the only person who remembers that.

I think that's a fair compromise. I mean there has to be some kind of punishment for winning the Worst Poster tournament. What's the point of it if the winner doesn't even get a suspension?

I don't see why you even bother arguing with the ass. It's clear Marvin knows nothing about boxing outside of what he's learned in the Rocky movies.

I love you too, Simon

I'm no McDonalds hater but I think the only apple pies worse than theirs are those min Hostess frosted apple pies (Do they still even make those?). Those Hostess Pies hardly qualified as pie. Yet somehow I kind of enjoyed the cherry kind.

I don't know the part where he was talking to CM Punk about "office politics" came off as really lame and overly smarkish. Dude's trying to relax.

#601: goldengreek's post about meeting a bunch of wrestlers at the pizza parlor he works at.

Ye gods, that lineup manages to combine the worst of rock past and the worst of rock present. On a somewhat unrelated note, I feel foolish for predicting that The Wallflowers would be a band that would last.

I agree Venkman with basically everything you said. VIII is probably in Top 5 favorite WrestleManias. I'll do a more detailed match by match rundown later but now I'll just ask a quick question. Have any two wrestlers had a longer series that didn't produce a good (or memorable) match than Rick Martel and Tatanka? It's not like either of them are bad workers and the matches certainly weren't terrible but they were all just sort of dull. I think it was the 90s equivalent of the Edge/William Regal feud from '02.

"Can't Stand Losing You" is my favorite as well with "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" coming in a close 2nd. I have an unabashed love for songs that prominently feature gibberish.

Can we just ban him now and get 'r done with?
