BUTT

I guess Vince read that ECW article posted in the General Wrestling folder last week.

"I took all of ECW's stars" (Ding!) "and I put on a vastly superior product." (Buzz!)

Video game.

I sense a cool video package.

You know, Shelton has broken Orton's "longest IC title reign in 7 years" record.

Undertaker theme?

Masked Kane was incredibly stale. Unmasked heel Kane, on the other hand, was pretty awesome, especially during the wedding with Lita. I'm glad he lost the mask. This was in response to a post about 10 to 12 posts up.

Oh man, Bischoff is going to make Jericho wrestle Kane.

Yes, I was being sarcastic.

http://www.pwtorch.com/artman/publish/article_13333.shtml Well, thank God! I was worried the Jarretts might lose their influence. Thankfully, if this goes through, we'll have more Jeff than ever.

The 3D stages in the DS version look pretty awesome, but the side-scrolling stages seem kind of lame. They have videos on IGN, in case you haven't seen. It should be noted that the GBA and DS games are pretty much the same, except the DS version has the 3D stages and multiplayer mode.

It will probably come out around the same time as the PS3. I know they say PS3 will be out in the beginning of 2006, but that would be dumb. You can't put out a game system that costs hundreds of dollars any time other than Christmastime. Sure, the hardcore gamers would snatch it up any time of the year, but for the mass market, late 2006 would be best.

But this is unquestionably the lowest point in the history of TSM.

Not seriously, of course.

He promised that Thunder review for like 4 years. There is no way it could have lived up to the hype.

Ban him.

Incandenza, do you still like Andrew W.K.? I was looking through this site's archives and I found the article you wrote on him. Your writing style was quite different back then.

People already watch CSI, but they also watch CSI: Miami and CSI: NY. Same thing with the 3 Law and Order shows. Face it, in TV, just like many other forms of entertainment, you have to copy what works. That's just the way they do things, and quite often it pays off.

It was about a "Mad Mikey" skit from TNA that was available for download but had been removed.

I didn't know because of Mole's "Failed Mascot sent me a PM" thread, which was actually about Sandman.

Wait a minute, is Sandman9000 Failed Mascot/FrigidSoul?

I am about 90 percent sure this Booker/Angle storyline will end with Sharmell turning on Booker and joining up with Angle, just so WWE can say "We don't do rape! She was in on it all along!"

HOTT Yes, with two T's

One of these days they have got to come up with a real plan for UPN. They have a hodgepodge of shows in many different genres, but they have no identity. Following the WB's formula of teen dramas would be a good idea (of course, it would have been a better idea seven years ago when the whole teen drama thing was really hot) and Veronica Mars is a good start, even though the ratings haven't exactly been good. If they actually want to make a change in their image instead of just "throwing crap at the wall and seeing what works", then as much as I love wrestling, I would have to say losing Smackdown (assuming they get rid of it at the end of the season, which they probably will) would be a good move for them, because wrestling just isn't cool and it really scares off advertisers.

Why didn't they just move Joan of Arcadia to UPN? Doesn't Viacom realize they have another TV network that they don't do anything with? Who are the people in charge of UPN and why haven't they actually made a smart programming decision since contracting with WWF 6 years ago?
