  1. That's strange, because I'm pretty sure by that time Pillman had signed with WWF. Actually, I know that night they aired a WWF Superstar Line ad teasing info on Pillman coming to WWF. By that weekend's shows they announced that he had signed. Of course, since it was WCW, the people doing the video editing probably didn't even know he was gone.
  2. I'm sad to report that Billy is dead.
  3. I thought that name was really funny until I found out that Matt Young was behind it.

    Wii

    It occurs to me that the Wii sales figures aren't as impressive as some are making them out to be, at least in the US. Gamecube sold 709,000 in November of 2001. (In Japan, it sold 182,000 the first week, so Wii beat that easily.) I guess Wii probably has a better future because there's a lot more buzz on it, but I don't think we should be declaring victory for Nintendo just yet.
  5. "Nigga We Be Smoking Blunts" "The Asian Chick From Gilmore Girls" "Buddence Lembeck" All of these could have been good
  6. TNA was sick of him too. Sabu is back to random once a month indy shows with money marks. If Sabu got released by WWE, TNA would be dumb not to take him back. He's gotten so over on WWE TV in the last few months that he could actually mean something for TNA this time.
  7. I know nothing of the movie, but I can't really expect much from a Van Wilder sequel that doesn't actually have Van Wilder in it. That would seem to be lacking a major ingredient.

    So is it going to be this constant "get your ticket and wait in line behind 50 people" shit for the rest of the year? I asked my mom to get me a Wii for Christmas but she refuses to believe that she'll be able to get one.

    I just noticed that Wii comes out today in Japan. It will be interesting to see how this one does over there. I think there's a misconception that Nintendo is more popular in Japan than in North America, while the truth is that Gamecube sold three times more here than it did in Japan.

    Blame Reggie. He wants to hold off on the big VC games so that he can release them in months when there's no big Wii game coming out.

    Well the rambling tirades are definitely true. Remember when he made that comment about how RPG players are depressed people who play games in the dark or whatever the fuck he said? Would Reggie or Iwata have the balls to say that? No. Too bad his craziness stopped being good for business around the mid 90's.

    Allard has been working on the Zune. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/conte...9;s+top+stories
  13. Does Carnival really work at Chuck E. Cheese? That's pretty awesome.
  14. He hosts New Millennium Blues now too.
  15. See this thread for all the answers http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=83234
  16. I really don't understand how it's that hard to recoup a $13 million investment on an album that's probably going to sell at least a couple of million. I guess you would also have to spend a couple of million on videos, but I wonder how effective the music video even is as a promotional tool since MTV barely plays them anymore. Obviously money will be spent on promotion but as the industry becomes less reliant on traditional forms of marketing it will be much less expensive than it would have been in years past given all the online venues they can use to promote the album (i.e. MySpace, Youtube, etc.) Licensing some of the tracks to advertisers can also offset the cost. (One must assume that if Axl is willing to license "Better" to Harley-Davidson he's not terribly selective about advertising partners.) Considering a wholesale price of around $10 it could easily make money. I find it doubtful that Chinese Democracy will be some sort of massive hit but I do think it will sell well.
  17. We should be the ones asking you if there's something wrong with 30. Why mess with success, Michael.
  18. The hearse match that JBL and 'Taker had at No Mercy 2004. I predict Cena as Batista's partner.
  19. You'll never be done with them! And staying off the GNR message boards is something you should be doing now. I can feel my IQ dropping every time I read MyGNRForum.
  20. was coming. Shit, I'm getting predictable. Well, I knew someone was going to. I considered it myself. You just seemed like the kind who would. If you hadn't, many others would have jumped at the chance, trust me.
  21. Meltzer is the person of record on pro wrestling. Generally his facts are spot-on. Him saying that Montreal was a shoot would pretty much confirm it. It's some of his opinions that are a little bit wacky.
  22. I saw this: Last Post Nov 28 2006, 05:50 PM In: You're all nasty bastards. By: Muggy Bogues Somehow, I knew this: was coming.
  23. It's been a week, Mike. None of my suggested changes have been made. That jazzy MIDI file that plays in the background has to go. Nothing wrong with having sound in the background of the page, but not a MIDI, dude.

  25. Tremendous heel turn by Art tonight. Well, he already was a heel, but they had you doubting that he actually was a bad dude. But not now. He's a predator ontheloooooose! Somebody call Dateline! And Orson's wife is still alive. I saw that coming. Since Hotbutter got banned, I look forward to this getting no replies.
