BUTT

I think Mick's new book is a journal of sorts of his comeback to wrestling. Bret's book should probably be out by the end of the year. I remember Dave saying a while ago that Bret wrote the whole thing himself and it's something like 900 pages and has to be heavily edited.

Not bad! Yourself?

SSX Blur got an 8.4 from IGN.

Undertaker vs Finlay Batista vs Kane Two matches

Biohazard Battle is really cool. It's pretty easy and it has some slowdown in it (which I assume carries over to the VC version) but it is a fun game.

I think they're OK. But not great. My brother really likes them. He is a bro and primarily listens to the absolute worst mainstream rap. I don't quite get their decision to go ahead without Layne, but whatever.

AiC was a hair metal band when they started. I'm pretty sure they opened for Poison in 1990 after Facelift came out.

A close friend of Hogan just called into Observer Live and told Dave that the big holdup between Vince and Hogan is that Hogan is getting screwed on merchandise. According to him, it's a WCW-type deal where the UPC code reads "WWE Photo Album" on Hogan figures.

I believe if it hadn't been them, it would have been someone else. Hair metal was on its last legs and I don't think an absence of Nirvana would have kept Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains or whoever else from breaking through. On another subject, I'll take this Avril over the old one. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BABY YOU SEXY

Man, if you don't have Gunstar Heroes, you should get it, because it's pretty much the greatest thing ever.

IN 1991 THE ROCK N' ROLL SCENE WAS ALL ABOUT BIG HAIR, POWER BALLADS, AND SPANDEX, BUT THEN THREE GRUNGY GUYS FROM SEATTLE GAVE MUSIC A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. "You know, before Nirvana all you saw on MTV was Bon Jovi, Poison, Warrant and then you see 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' and it's like BAM - this is the real deal." "I just want to say - THANK YOU NIRVANA - thank you for saving us from hair metal."

As a transition word between "fuck" and "dick"?

One thing I've noticed about Wii is how it has brought certain publishers back into the fold who hadn't been producing games for Nintendo home consoles. For example, SNK Playmore apparently didn't see Gamecube as a viable platform for their releases but they put Metal Slug Anthology out on Wii. Tecmo didn't publish any games for N64 or Gamecube but they released Super Swing Golf for Wii.

Chew Man Fu for the TurboGrafx will supposedly also be out this money. No, I don't know what that is either.

Legitimate contenders for the week that WCW lasted after that? They sure as hell weren't legitimate contenders in WWE.

I think if a dude came in and just beat HHH or Undertaker cleanly in two minutes and it wasn't presented as a fluke you could make a new star in one night. But that's not the way things are done 'round herrrrrrrrrre.

And is Inc implying that I'm obsessed just because I remember that he said Banders and SA are the same? Does he take the same "anyone who remembers anything about this board is an idiot" viewpoint that Banky and Chave were espousing a few weeks back? Because I'm willing to be you haven't forgotten everything you've read at this board, Mr. Incandenza. I bet you remember things from TSM! P.S. I can only imagine Slayer is preparing some sort of witty reference to me being some sort of low-rent Incandenza clone because as you can see, I post just like him at all time. Let's have it, Slayer.

Are you kidding me it's Slayer you should be saying that shit about he knows like everything about this board Czech too. RUN-ON SENTENCE

Have you kept in touch with that gentleman? I would love to know what the man who brought Banders to life is doing these days.

I remember when we did the Backlash 2005 AIM chat here and we completely ignored the wrestling and talked about William Zabka for about a half hour. It was awesome.

Plus the person who wrote that also partook in the Infinite Jest discussion on Incandenza's talk page, so it definitely ain't that Faygo-drinking 'Lo.

I don't think Ethan listens to rap that isn't horrorcore or Rob Van Winkle.

Man did you see how shook all the people here got when Sledge got banned last year? The McKenzie Group would prefer not to have such an outcry again!

No, no! This thread isn't any good!

You know I'm down with this.
