So, what's that got to do with a network that shows Raw, Heat, Star Trek reruns, and really bad cartoons?

I haven't said Results. Just my star ratings, and my opinions on the finishes. I know, just commenting with my opinion. UPN and the Score.... Score sounds cool and UPN sounds like "you peein'." UPN's still a better network name than "Spike TV," at least.

To Canadians: Discuss all you like, just no actual match results. Hell, I already read spoilers so I personally don't mind.

Trust me, if he was Buffy'd have a copy. Unless Molly turned out being a bigger hypocrite than Sable (who made a big deal about being Christian then posed for Playboy--twice I think), I sincerely doubt it. It's not surprising because pretty much every celebrity has a pr0nstar lookalike. I saw a clip looking roughly like Molly taking a facial, but the hair was all wrong.

Yeah, WWE realized that--but only halfway. Original title was Forced Entry. Wow, that totally changes things.

I can almost buy this excuse. I actually turned off the TV after the tag match. However, like any person with a brain who knows how to tell time, I then noticed the clock had a bit to go until 11, and knowing Raw usually goes off a bit after 11, I turned it right back on and remembered Christian and RVD's match. So Raw lost viewers that don't know how to tell time.

Jericho IS an office favorite. He gets to wrestle each up and coming title challenger, does whatever crap they ask him to do and puts up with it, drags good matches out of nearly anybody, has a positive attitude, and has been willing to try to get angles over however possible, if not in the ring on the mic. He's just not considered an option to be champion.

Angle's head got shaved too... Hey, it wasn't mentioned yet.

Stupid marketing campaigns often work well. Good news for Nintendo. Hope to see them doing better and being more competitive than before. However, is it really possible for there to be three competitive major consoles in the market at once? Up until now it's never really happened. There's room for two but any third consoles have usually been in the distance last place.

Plan 9 actually has some entertainment value, though.

In a related story, a disproportionate amount of Nielson boxes are found in group homes for the mentally retarded.

Okay, to prevent the cluttering up on the overrated games thread with off-topic stuff, I decided to make a new thread. So let's compare and contrast those wonderful SNES titles with the overhyped hunks of crap that the current Final Fantasy games are. Okay, I'll admit obvious bias to the older games. I grew up with the SNES titles, while I've encountered the newer titles as a more cynical adult. Perhaps nostalgia has made the SNES games seem better than the current crop? I think not. So, whatever side of the debate you're on, unless you don't give a crap at all, state it and reasons why. I personally don't hate the new games vehemently--I think Vivi is one of the most well-developed and sympathetic characters in any RPG, however, PlayOnline really hurt FFIX if you like going after secrets. I'll start by listing things from FFVI that FFVII ripped off (I've only played through FFII aka IV Japan once as opposed to the half-dozen or so I have FFVI, so maybe some one more familiar with IV can chime in on that. Anyway, I'll go over some of the great features about VI that makes that game so great to me. Features marked with an asterisk ( * ) are one that were simply borrowed from VI to make the unimaginative FFVII. The Opera House Scene Winning items in the Colosseum* Hidden/optional party members* Individual endings for each character (NOPE, DON'T HAVE THAT IN VII!) Villian that isn't blatantly ripped off from Phantasy Star, and is also delightly evil as opposed to angsty bishonen evil. Well-fleshed out backstories for most party members, and more of them. Actually going into some one's dreams/nightmares for one of the missions (optional in FFVI)* A sasquatch that attacks with reckless abandon, and the most powerful character when used correctly, GOGO THE MIME! A ninja who is actually a badass and not a whiny little bitch. Death scenes that make you sad, not make you laugh. The Paladin Shield sidequest. Plenty of different skills for characters such as Steal, Mimic, Blue Magic, Rage, Blitz, etc. that helped define the characters' personas--note that FFVII didn't really do much but just rehash them in little stones. A comedic recurring villian* Esper system, which is similar to the materia except that it actually is interwoven into the plot. Dungeons that must be navigated through the cooperative effort of a couple of different parties.* While there is somewhat of a main character (Terra), you aren't forced to control her for 95% of the game if you don't want to.

Choken: That happened in WCW, so chances are they'll never bring it up for that very reason. I honestly don't remember much from Steiner's WCW run around the time he faced Goldberg. I think I had stopped watching before then. I do remember he had a habit of sounding like a moron anytime a mic was put near him, so at least that hasn't changed. Hell, maybe a match with Goldberg would motivate him or whatever. I still don't like the idea of throwing him back into the mix when he hasn't really done anything to earn it. Oh well, when the time comes Jericho will likely be face again and the perfect choices to lay down for Steiner to build him up.

I can see them giving him a heel run, but I think a match with Goldberg would be a disaster. Sure, they had a good match in WCW I heard, but these days I'm skeptical. Not that WWE cares about the match quality, but I think they'll be hesitant to try another Steiner main event push.

I think Rikishi's always used the Too Cool theme since he started to hang out with Scotty/Sexay--except for the brief period when he was a heel. Since he turned again he's been sticking with the Too Cool theme last I remember.

Oh my God, Choken morphed into Banky.

Until it drops below a 3--who gives a damn?

So, what you're saying is that they going to pick up Nathan Jones and make him their bitch? Austria? Let's throw another shrimp on the barby, then... I'm going to assume he saw Young Einstein. Source? I can't tell them apart so I honestly can't say who sucks and who doesn't. How the hell JR can do it when he mixed up the Canadian Chrises and Hardyz I have no idea.

The Sega CD version with hidden characters like a monkey, a dog, a chicken, a senator, tons of uber-violent finishing moves and those CINEKILLS?! DerangedHermit: Those are awesome deals...but you mean to tell me you own... The hell?!

Steiner and Test walk around in sweats and pick up bad Austrian accents. "Vee vill pahmp yooo ahp!!"

*prays for Coach/JR to get a bad ending and the ladder match to get a great one* I've looked around and can't find the rating either. It should have been available last night.

Something tells me this feud is far from over. I was bugged that the stupid fans cheered on JR instead of sitting on their hands for that bullshit.

Because Coach should be able to beat a 50-something fat, out-of-shape hick? Because it wouldn't have provided the chance for the visual of JR whipping Coach?

I haven't missed Rikishi at all, but that's because I hate the Stinkface so much. Other than that, I don't really mind him.

Maybe like the subtitle hinted, it isn't a woman...
