BUTT

Well, one of the characters in Love Story was based on Gore. A Tennessee newspaper incorrectly reported that it was based on both Gores, and that's where Gore got the information.

Nintendo should name their next console after a character from Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

Would your hit singles sound like Britney songs?

I'll bet you this one gets moved too. Not that I really care about this kind of board stuff, but threads like these are supposed to go into Site Feedback or Graphics & Testing Grounds.

Well, if they did another show, it would just be a letdown. Do you know how hard it is to set a fake attendance record? Last time they were there, they had 93,173 people! 93,173! 93,173! 93,173! 93,173! Really. It really happened. It's not like they just made it up and Vince McMahon's proudest moment which he still brags about to this day was a huge lie or anything. No siree Bob.

I think Nickelodeon should make its GAS digital cable channel into a Classic Nickelodeon channel. Never thought I'd say this but - I'm sick of watching the old Nick game show reruns. When I first got digital cable I watched it every day, though. Me too. I wonder who exactly they're trying to appeal to with the GAS channel - I can't imagine too many of today's kids are really big on the incredibly outdated Double Dare and Finders Keepers. It's a nostalgia channel and it's amazing Viacom hasn't picked up on that yet.

It's my birthday too.

And if you don't have a something blocking those little slots in your school locker then you deserve to be set up by The Man... In all my years, I never saw anyone block the slots of a locker, except the girls who would put up pictures of boy bands. I guess it was a different time, even though I only graduated two years ago.

OK, this question is going to require someone who knows WWF music and video games well: In the original Wrestlemania for NES, I know the main theme was the music they played in the beginning of the Coliseum version of Survivor Series '87 (and maybe other videos, I don't know). Hogan, Savage, and Honky Tonk Man have "Real American", "Pomp and Circumstance", and "Cool, Cocky, Bad" (the name WWE gave HTM's theme on the Anthology CD). I don't really remember what Bam Bam's WWF theme in the 80's sounded like, but I'll believe that the game had it right. Dibiase, for some reason, had Strike Force's old theme, "Girls in Cars". But, was Andre's theme in that game any real WWF music? I know Andre never had music in WWF, but he did in Wrestlemania for NES, and if they gave him any real WWF music in that game, I don't recognize it.

I guess that means he's going to break a flower pot and get fired from Congress.

Question: Why was the novelization of the first movie released before the movie itself?

Just for those who asked about Piper and the "Caged" magazine:

This move may have been described in this thread, I'm not sure, but: a few years ago, I remember Edge doing a move where he got his opponent into a fisherman suplex (Perfectplex) then turned it into a swinging neckbreaker while still hooking the leg and neck. Does anyone know the name of this move and any other wrestlers who use it?

I didn't spend a whole lot of time on the picture.

He also teamed with Sting in a Lethal Lottery match at Starrcade '91.

Here's something I've wondered for a while: Am I imagining things, or when Sean Waltman joined the nWo, did they originally spell his name "Syxt"? I could have sworn I remember seeing in a Halloween Havoc '96 promo "Chris Jericho vs. Syxt".

But, she grew up in the business, she, she.....................she grew up in the business!

That's why she got banned.

That's a bad comparison. Sure, Turner didn't do anything for WCW, but he COULD have done anything with it that he liked. With Dusty, he's working for JJ. I guess. Do the Jarrett's own any of it now?

The New Japan v UWF-I feud in a nutshell Nobuhiko Takada formed UWF-I in 1991, which was an offshoot of the second UWF incarnation, which itself was founded by Akira Maeda in 1988 when he and Takada left New Japan. The second version of the UWF shut up shop in 1990-1, with Maeda going on to form RINGS and Takada forming the UWF-I. In 1993, UWF-I, with the aid of Lou Thesz who had publicly endorsed UWF-I as real wrestling, made a grandstand challenge to New Japan for a ‘real’ match with Nobuhiko Takada, who was the UWF-I World Champion at the time, and even had Lou Thesz’s original NWA Title belt, to take on Masahiro Chono. They even went to New Japan’s offices to make the challenge, and the wrestling magazines in Japan covered it, which got them heat with New Japan, as New Japan felt the magazines should have known that it was a grandstand challenge and shouldn’t have given them coverage. Anyway, this all ended with New Japan, in order to save face, making a series of counter demands, such as having the match in a cage or something like that, as well as demanding some sort of battle royal, which they knew full well UWF-I would never agree to, as UWF-I was a shoot group, and they’d never do something as obviously fake as that. Later that year, when Vader agreed to work dates for UWF-I, the basis was that Takada had challenged other world champions, with Vader, the WCW Champion at the time, being the only one to accept the challenge. This was also continued in 1994, when UWF-I did this big tournament, and made a grandstand challenge again to other world champions, including RINGS, New Japan, and All Japan, with RINGS and All Japan ignoring it, and Shinya Hashimoto, who was IWGP Champion at the time, publicly decrying UWF-I for not going through the right channels to make the challenge. Fast forward to the middle of 1995, and UWF-I, which had been riding high, was down and virtually out of it. Thesz had left them, Kazuo Yamazaki had jumped to New Japan, and Gary Albright had gone to All Japan, all of which had to do with UWF-I being in a money losing spiral. So, Takada did the only thing he could do to try and keep UWF-I going, and approached New Japan in order to work an inter-promotional feud. The three big events were the Tokyo Dome shows in October of 1995, and January and April of 1996. The October and January Dome shows were both sellout headlined by Takada taking on Keiji Muto, with the first one being the UWF-I Champion (by this time Thesz had gone, so Takada was no longer seen as a true World Champion) against the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, and the combined attendances and gates were 132,000 fans and over $12 million dollars respectively, which make Takada v Muto the best drawing singles feud in history. In addition to that, the April 1996 Dome show, headlined by Takada, who had won the IWGP Title in the second match with Muto, defending against Shinya Hashimoto, was another sellout, drawing 65,000 fans, with a gate of $5.7 million dollars, which make the UWF-I v New Japan the best drawing feud in history. Eric Bischoff was in attendance for the October 1995 Dome Show, which drew 67,000, and was amazed at the business it did, and he was able to see that an inter-promotional feud could do big business, and when the opportunity came at recreating his own version in WCW with Hall and Nash, he jumped at the chance What made the UWF-I v New Japan feud different to the NWO v WCW feud is that it ended with the hometown team winning the decisive match and the invaders being the ones to go out of business, and not the other way around. So UWFI was a real shoot promotion? I thought I read somewhere that they openly claimed to be real (and bashed other promotions for being fake) when in fact their fights were worked, but I guess I have them mixed up with someone else, or maybe I just have the story wrong.

That's the worst Robert Smith Halloween costume I've ever seen.

Well, Psychosis is going to be with WWE now, but I'm sure Erik is available!

Indeed, I remember the first thing I thought when I saw the picture on the back of I Get Wet was "wow, this dude looks like Rhyno".
