No, but it did give me the ablility to drop bunker buster bombs on apartment buildings just because I didn't like the color of the paintjob. That counts for something in my book. I'm trading in DAH this weekend; the gameplay has already gotten old, the side missions are incredibly generic and it's pointless to use the stealth option in a Majestic base because it lasts all of 10 seconds. I DO like those robot guards having a voice like the Lost in Space robot. I also am hoping the sequel is a lot better because the concept is a good one.

I picked up Destroy All Humans last night. The idea is good, but the execution isn't. The whole "disguise yourself as a human" part of the game is a pain in the ass to maintain, but you have to keep it up if you don't want to get blown away by the "Majestics". Plus, the ability to just blow crap up around you was utilized much better in Pandemic's other game, Mercenaries. It's fine for $20, but I wouldn't have paid full price for it.

Just a heads up that PK's going inactive this month to sell injuries from the StH match and so I can recharge the batteries and figure out what to do next. I'm still gonna post shows and everything (I even am tossing around wether or not to create an all new character), and I have a couple ideas for the future which I'll PM the proper people to talk about.

I suggested above making a New Year's Spectacular kind of show (with the Angle Awards ceremony and a couple PPV-quality matches) a permanent fixture as a kind of "wrap-up" to the whole year. I do like having all the elimination matches at NR lead up to a WarGames match. As an incentive of winning, offer like a $1 million prize to the winning team. OAOAST Million Dollar WarGames.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'd do it like this: AnglePalooza Zero Hour AngleMania Living Angleously School's Out Great Angle Bash License to Pin AngleSlam Dirty Deeds World Without End November Reign Climax (replaced by making the Angle Awards/New Year's Spectacular show permanent) This way, the "big" shows have two months build and people can use some of their match ideas for the dropped shows on HD or a Syndicated special (one in place of Zero Hour to help hype AM would work and perhaps another in the fall before NR). If you want to drop one more, either Living Angleously or School's Out would work out.

I don't see anything. Miyamoto says that both versions will be the same content-wise (same dungeons, same enemies), but the Wii version will have better graphics and a few more minor bells and whistles. There won't be any online play, that's for sure. I'm guessing they're banking on people buying the Wii version because they want to play it in a different way with the Wiimote.

This week we'll be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Update on Peter Knight's condition after Stairway to Hell.

Well, PK isn't exactly the type of guy to go flying off ladders with moonsaults is he? I did have the idea of PK doing a hilo onto Alf while he's laying on a ladder on the floor, but alas... Actually, I purposely kept it from being spotty because I wanted the story of the match to be more "These are two enclosed animals that want to kill each other" instead of the atypical TLC-type match. In retrospect, I definitely could/should have added a little more spots to illustrate that (this is the SECOND Alf/PK match where I wanted to utilize Alf's corner post figure-four but it never materialized). I've read just the opening tag (more 100% Grade A Tony tag goodness) and the Sunday Detention match (short, but it gave some of the lesser guys some exposure. Team Heyross really needs to be in the tag picture more), so I'll read the rest tonight/tomorrow night.

Well....two out of three is a possibility at least.

For those keeping score, Josh Bard's hitting .415 in May with 5 HR and 14 RBI for the Padres. Why can't the Sox get guys like that? Ramirez Cansecoed the ball!

All that happened WITH TWO OUTS.

715* Now go away.

Example #1232 that the save is a useless stat: In a 5-0 game, Rudy Seanez walks the bases loaded in the 9th and Mirabelli drops the ball on a third strike, allowing a run in (5-1) and leaving them loaded. Julian Tavarez comes in, walks in two more runs (5-3), gives up a hit that scores one (5-4), but Gathwright gets gunned down at home to end it......and Tavarez gets a SAVE. Just bring up the kids already Theo, PLEASE.

Can NESN PLEASE find another commercial to show other than that STUPID Jimmy Fallon Pepsi one? As if Fever Pitch wasn't enough for me to hate the guy.

EDITED: August 8,2006 (Finisher change) Name: Peter Knight Age: 23 Height: 6'4" Weight: 265 Hometown: Fall River, Mass Alignment (heel, face, tweener): Heel Stable affiliation (if any): Theme music: Metalingus by Alter Bridge Entrance Style (what color pyro, spotlights, etc.): Think Edge's WWE entrance but without the smoke and throw in blue strobes. Entrance attire (sunglasses, robe, jacket, etc): Same as ring attire Ring attire: Blue singlet with black leather pants. Wears fingerless leather gloves (like those used in shootfighting) Wrestling style (brawler, cruiserweight, technical, all-rounder, etc.): Still a power wrestler (using an assortment of suplexes and slams), but will use submission wrestling when he wants to wear an opponent down. Finishing Move(s) (try to keep it to 1 or 2): 1) The Knightmare (Marc Mero's TKO). 2) Black Hole Slam (Abyss' finisher) Signature Moves: Knight Roll - Two rolling vertical suplexes, finished with a delayed falcon arrow into a pin. Butterfly bomb Fuijara armbar Basic moves: Corner clothesline Belly to back suplex Double underhook suplex Scoop slam Mostly power moves with a sprinkle of submissions Strikes mostly with forearm shots and knees, but can get down in a good ol' fashioned slugfest if need be. History: Debuted as the bodyguard for Shattered Dreams and LA Parka. Created the Dream Machines with Parka after a falling out with SD. Had a few tag title reigns and also won the 24/7 title on two occasions. Left the OaOast around Anglemania III because of personal and physical reasons. Made surprise appearance at World Without End last October, reuniting for one night with Parka to defeat The Machine. That, and after hearing the derogatory way Prince Killings commented on the business persuaded him to come back and (hopefully) make the impact he always wanted to make. And that he did, winning the X-Title after a controversy in Japan vacated it and defending it for the rest of '05, beating Superstars such as Crystal, Bohemoth, and winning a MOTC candidate in the OAOAST's first Ultimate X match at License to pin. At Dirty Deeds he got his first opportunity at the World Title at Fenway Park in Boston against then-champion Hoff. He fought his heart out, but ultimately tapped to the anklelock in a heartbreaker. At World Without End he was part of an elimination match for the vacated title, but once again fell short as he was pinned by Stephen Joseph. These losses demoralized Knight, causing him to try a different tact. He challenged Stephen Joseph one last time for the title with the stipulation that, should Knight lose, he would take himself out of title contention for the whole of 2006. The match, that took place January 1,2006 at OAOAST New Year's Spectacular, ended in a controversial fashion when Axel, who had won the HD General Manager position earlier in the night and was known to have a history with Joseph, assisted Knight in finally realizing his dream as Knight pinned Joseph after Knightmaring him onto a chair. The following HeldDOWN, Knight publically thanked Zack Malibu for helping to motivate him to the title. Malibu confronted Knight about how he won the title, only to be attacked by new GM Axel and then Knight himself. It was revealed that Axel was the true mastermind behind the Upstarts movement and that Knight was the man he wanted to carry the torch. Knight then defeated Stephen Joseph at Anglepalooza later in January in an "I Quit" match. Post-match, Knight powerbombed him through a large glass table, putting Joseph out for months. Knight then main evented his first AngleMania in April, defending his title against #1 contender Alfdogg. In a competitive match that had the ref knocked out, Stephen Joseph, the supposed "PPV Coordinator", came down dressed as a referee. Knight dispatched him, but fell victim to a Five Star Alf Splash leading to the original referee counting his shoulders down for the three count. Knight proclaimed Alfdogg's victory tainted and demanded a rematch. He got one at the next OAOAST PPV, Living Angleously when he participated in a triple threat match with Alfdogg and Brock Ausstin. Knight never figured into the decision when Ausstin tapped to a Sharpshooter from Alfdogg. Knight then demanded one last shot at Alf and challenged him to a Stairway to Hell match at the May show, School's Out. That match ended up as a bloody affair as Knight was spinebustered on a stack of light tubes and fell from the top of the cage through a glass table en route to Alfdogg retaining the title. Knight was rushed into emergency surgery after the show to remove glass that was embedded in his body. He also suffered a herniated disc and reaggrivated a knee injury, keeping him out of action for a month. Knight returned at the Battlebowl show on the 4th of July and advanced to the battle royal, but was eliminated by Longodgger Pete, the man that teamed with him earlier in the night.

$1500-$2000 easy.

There you go Adam. DEFINITELY the longest match I've ever written.

Looks like David Wells can call it a career as he leaves the game after getting smacked in the knee by a line drive. That's pretty much the Baseball Gods giving you a sign to hang em' up.

I'm guessing that these stores are going to do like they did with the 360 and offer those package deals where you can get the system, a couple games and other stuff for like $900. Yeah, I'll be right in line for that.

We'll wait to see if this ECW actually goes somewhere before making a decision on a folder.

(Last Bruins post in the thread, I promise) I'll believe that when I see it. Whether or not he is allowed to have the final say on the head coach is going to be the first way to tell how much pull he'll actually have in the organization.

A decent lead-up to School's Out. Kinda disappointing not to see any developments with Axel and Co. for a few weeks, but I understand if e-fedding has been low on the list of priorities lately. Beefbaq the show, everyone!

COLE Welcome back, folks. Before the break, Peter Knight stepped out of his locker room and grabbed Josh Matthews, but we don't know where they are. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" COACH Look over there. The crowd turns toward the entrance as two figures step through the doors. Knight simply pushes Josh in front of him and points for him to go to the ring. Matthews, simply grateful at being out of his grip, quickly jogs down the ramp as Knight takes a bit more leisurely pace. Josh stands nervously in the middle of the ring as Knight walks up the ring steps and stops on the apron. He wiggles his finger at Matthews for him to hold the ropes open for him and Josh, wanting to be able to watch Ultimate Fighter on his TiVo in one piece tonight, obliges. Knight points to tell Josh where to stand and walks beside him, pulling his arm up so that the mic is in position. KNIGHT (to Josh) Just keep that mic right where it is if you want to stay on my good side. Boo all you want, yahoos. I'm not going anywhere until I say what I came out here to say. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Knight waits out the deafening boos until they fade and the crowd quiets down. KNIGHT Now, as much as it warmed my heart to see everyone in that backstage area tonight pass me in the hall and not try to catch my eye and how people found a different path when they saw me coming.....don't worry, you're all safe. See, I thought about it and, though it would have been a joy to take apart anyone that was in the wrong place at the wrong time and leave their bloody carcass laying, Alfdogg will not cower or back out of this match on Sunday. Besides, at School's Out in Stairway to Hell, I am going to do things to him that no man, no matter how much "heart" he has or how "extreme" he is, can possibly endure. I know that Alf has some tricks of his own up his sleeve, but let me tell you right now Alf......they aren't gonna stop me. You can make me bleed, you can break every limb in my body. If it means I'll have to use my goddamn TEETH to drag my body rung by rung up that ladder and grab that belt.....I'll do it. I know it is a tired cliche, but Alf, at School's Out, you will have to take that title, MY TITLE, the belt that belongs to ME....over my.......dead........body. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" COACH He is FOCUSED. Josh's arm slightly trembles in fear as Knight drinks in the boos. He looks over to Matthews and rips the microphone from his hand before pushing him away. KNIGHT You're finished here. Get going. Josh lets out a big sigh of relief as he straightens his coat and walks towards the ropes. KNIGHT Now, just because I know sending a message to Alf would be futile.......it doesn't mean I'm not gonna still send it. COLE What is he......? *THUMP* As Matthews starts to swing his left leg through the ropes, Knight turns and drives the microphone into the top of his head. Josh flops to the mat holding his head as Knight stands over him. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" CABOOSE Come on! Knight yanks Matthews back to his feet and shoves him into the corner, following him in and firing off a rapid volley of STIFF fists and forearms that has Josh's head snapping violently back with each impact. Knight grabs his arms and yanks him off the ropes, waiting for Josh to rebound and CREAMING him with a clothesline, using enough force to send him flipping into the air onto his face. COLE Enough! Someone stop this! COACH Be my guest. Knight wraps his hand around Josh's throat and pulls him to his feet once more. Still choking him, Knight backs Matthews into the ropes and pushes him downward so that the ropes wrap around his arms to pin him there. Knight slides out of the ring and walks towards Buffer. The announcer quickly gets out of the way allowing Knight to take possession of his chair and fold it up. COLE Oh no, please! Knight please don't do it! Knight slides back into the ring with the chair and walks towards the cameraman on the apron. KNIGHT Over here, get a good shot. Stay right there. The camera gets close to both Knight and a trapped (and bloody) Matthews. Knight raises the chair. COLE NO! *CRAAAAACK* And SLAMS it across Matthews' skull. Josh slumps unconscious, but the fact that his arms are trapped keep him from flopping to the mat. Knight raises the chair as bits of garbage begin littering the ring. Knight spits at them and readies the chair for another shot, but suddenly a cheer erupts. "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" COLE Thank God, THANK GOD!!! Alfdogg sprints down the aisle and slides into the ring. The two men stare each other down as Knight has the chair raised again, ready for a strike at Alf. CABOOSE Yeah, try it! Just try it and see what Alf does to you. COACH Calm down, 'Boose. CABOOSE F**k you. Come on Knight, use it on someone that can do something about it. Knight looks into Alf's eyes with a look of pure hatred, but what he sees is the look of a man that feels the exact same way. COLE Are we gonna see a preview of School's Out right now? ALF Come on! You wanna go? Come on! Knight wipes his hand across his mouth....and drops the chair. The crowd begins to buzz as Knight nods and gets into a fighting position. COACH We are, Cole! The two men slowly begin to circle each other. Knight reaches an arm out and grabs the top rope. He slowly begins shaking his head and swings one leg through the ropes and out to the apron. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Knight ducks under the top rope and hops to the floor. Alf walks up to the ropes and looks down at him as Knight continues shaking his head. KNIGHT Sunday, Alf. It ends Sunday. Knight makes the "title around the waist" gesture. KNIGHT It's mine. Sunday, it's mine (points to Alf) and YOU'RE mine! In the ring, Alf slowly shakes his head as well as Knight continues to back up the ramp, repeating the words "Sunday, it's mine". The camera cuts to Alfdogg, then to Knight and finally to a closeup of Alfdogg as we fade out. Fade to black.

SCHIAVONE It's a jubilant scene back here guys, here in the locker room of the new HI-YA... SINGLETON YYEEEEAAAAHHHHHHH!! Diving into camera shot, Simon Singleton drenches the hapless Schiavone with a bottle of champagne before turning it upside down and takign a swig himself. A swig and a drowning of his own. But he wipes the champagne from his eyes without concern, too happy to worry about possibly blinding himself. In the background, Ned Blanchard and Mackenzie DeCenzo are being swamped by dozens of Japanese reporters, photographers and paparazzi, flashbulbs going off in all directions around the mugging duo. Recomposing himself, Schiavone tries to mop himself down, but his cheap suit soaks the champagne up like an equally cheap sponge. SCHIAVONE ...the new HI-YAH World Tag Team Champions, The Beverly Hills Blonds and as you can see it's chaos back here. We've got press, photographers...obviously, this is a huge story in the Far East as well as in the U.S. Hopefully I can get some words with the new Champs. Picking his way through the Japanese press, Schiavone finally gets to the celebrating Champions. Still chugging away from his champagne bottle, Simon Singleton wraps an arm around Schiavone, who still seems a little thrown by the scene. Mackenzie and Ned seem a little more reserved, although both grin from ear to ear. SCHIAVONE Mackenzie, can we get some comments? Smirking, Mackenzie takes Ned's HI-YAH Tag belt and holds it at head height. MACKENZIE What more of a comment do you need exactly? These belts say it all. This transcends the language barriers. All of these Japanese reporters know the story, without understanding a word I'm saying right now. I promised the world that I would gain success with my new tag team and I told you all I was done carrying joke teams around on my back and through my purse. Tonight, The Beverly Hills Blonds made history. Not only did we end D*LUX's unbeaten streak, but we're also the first team to have won both the OAOAST and HI-YAH Tag Team Titles, the equivalent of an actor winning a Golden Globe and Oscar in the same award season. That speaks for itself and it placates everything I said when I associated myself with Simon and Ned. Tonight, Mackenzie DeCenzo is on top of the world, just like I promised to be. Simon and Ned did everything I could have asked of them. And in the process, I showed all of you the difference between a true wrestling manageress and a wanabee bimbo who's all breast and no brains. The difference is class. I have it, Rodez doesn't. You'll find that out again Sunday Tony. There's your comments. SCHIAVONE Well, no doubt you're feeling pleased with yourself tonight, but I get the feeling from the way things went down tonight that D*LUX will be in line for a rematch down the line. MACKENZIE That's for me to decide, Tony. It's one of my duties as manager of the Champions. I get to pick and choose worthy challengers, assuming there are any in this company or even in HI-YAH. I decide if and when Ned and Simon go to Japan. And I decide if D*LUX get another title sho... Stopping Mackenzie in mid-speech, Ned cups a hand and whispers something into his manager's ear. Mackenzie seems a little confused by what Ned's saying, but Ned calms Mackenzie down and assures her he's serious. BLANCHARD You know, I hate to cut in like this on you Mackie, but as much as you're a complete manager and a business brain, I'm a bit of an ideas man. And I've had an idea. You see, it's already set in stone that on Sunday night at School's Out, Mackie and the Blonds are gonna find themselves back in the ring with D*LUX and Cooki...I mean, Jade. That's fine and dandy. But why don't we up the stakes a little, just for kicks? SCHIAVONE What do you mean 'up the stakes'? SINGLETON Tell him Ned. Tell him! Ned glances at Simon and shakes his head. BLANCHARD You need to go steady with that stuff, it's expensive. (turns to Tony) What I mean by 'up the stakes,' Fat Tony is this. I have no doubt that New Kids On The Block want a rematch against your new HI-YAH World Tag Team Champions somewhere down the line and never let it be said that The Beverly Hills Blonds aren't fighting champions. We're former OAOAST World Tag Team Champions, we've been here before let's not forget. New name, same talent. Little more muscularity. I've been from the gyms to the tanning salons and back night and day during our little 'vacation', as I'm sure you all can tell. We've beaten the best going. So, we're not afraid to put the belts on the line. SINGLETON We're not. Honest. BLANCHARD So, I'll tell you what D*LUX...the Handsome Hustler is prepared to cut you two kids a deal. Call me Mr. Sensitivity but I almost feel sorry for you to have lost your precious belts and your precious losing streak in one night. So, here's my show of goodwill. This Sunday, the belts are on the line. Yo... Now it's Mackenzie's turn to cut off Ned, looking a little sceptical about this idea, but Ned again calms Mackenzie down. BLANCHARD You win and you get the belts. Whoever you pin, whoever pins them, it doesn't matter. And I can't say fairer than that. But the Blonds aren't a charity, kids. So in return, you have to put something on the line to show for yourselves. Something that'd interest us. A sick grin slowly begins to appear on Ned's face. BLANCHARD And I know just the thing. If you win, you get the belts. But assuming that myself, Simon and Mackenzie mop the floor with the three of you sorry kids one more time like we did tonight, then you're going to have to make a sacrifice. Jade, I know that moment we shared earlier this year has lingered on your mind almost as long as those lips of yours lingered on those of your Neddy bear. Who could blame you for being curious? Flattered even? Well Jade, for you it's win win, honey. Because if you want us to put the belts on the line, you're gonna have to put yourself on the line! You heard me right. Let's see how much you believe in your team, Jade. If you and your boys fail to get the job done against us, then...you have to become my personal slave...for one, ENTIRE month! SCHIAVONE Ugh! Mackenzie and Simon don't know whether to laugh or be creeped out by this challenge, but settle for the first. BLANCHARD That means every wish, every need accomodated for. If you lose, you can look on the bright side. You'll get the chance to be where every woman alive truly wants to be...and that's barefoot in my kitchen, making me a sandwich! SINGLETON You'll be the envy of the entire female population...and quite a few guys too. BLANCHARD And Jade, trust me, it'll be an experience you'd never forget. Infact, I wouldn't blame you if you laid down in front of me on Sunday night and let me pin you. Come to think of it...I'd be pretty excited by that. MACKENZIE Oh, but let's remember, as your manager I control your contracts...so by rights, technically, as your slave she'd have to cater to my every whim as well. BLANCHARD Without doubt. MACKENZIE Heh...and trust me Jade, you won't be in your comfort zone of lying flat on your back moaning when you're running errands for me. You know Ned, I think you're right about that 'ideas man' tagline. This idea's really beginning to grow on me. I've got a whole bunch of nettles in my garden, stubborn things they are. And my housekeeper seems to think the drains have gotten blocked. Maybe we can get Jade to suck the drains clean, I hear she's experienced with that sort of thing. ALL SCHIAVONE Oh, come on! It's a good job these reporters can't understand you three because that's repulsive! The Japanese public won't stand for talk like that. SINGLETON Whaddya think Geisha girls are for, Schiavone? We've said it before, but tonight everybody learned: It's great to be a blond! SCHIAVONE Give me a break...guys, I'm gonna send it back to you at ringside. Sickening stuff here. Sickening. *SWOOP TO SOFA CENTRAL* CABOOSE Is it wrong of me to love Ned Blanchard? COLE It certainly is! The nerve of Ned, to offer to put the belts on the line Sunday in return for the possibility of Jade Rodez becoming his slave...his SLAVE...for a month! This isn't the dark ages, this is the 21st Century! Just think about the things Ned and Mackenzie would have poor Jade doing, assuming they win at School's Out. COACH Oh, I'm imagining it! I'm imagining! COLE That's disgusting Coach. CABOOSE I don't know. Bare feet, kitchen, making sandwiches. Sounds good to me. COLE Well, I for one hope D*LUX gain their measure of revenge this Sunday, if only to give you two the proverbial cold shower. We once more cut to the back an Josh Matthews. JOSH Nothing to report yet, as Peter Knight.....wait a second. (Josh puts his ear to the door) I think I hear some movement in there. Hold on. The door handle jiggles a bit and turns as the door swings open revealing Peter Knight in casual clothes (jeans and a "Knightmare" t-shirt, available at OAOASTShopzone.com OMG PLUG~!). He looks at the camera and then over to Josh with a look that shrinks the interviewer. KNIGHT What are you hanging around here for? JOSH I-I-I-I just wanted to...to ask you a few questions about School's Out. I mean, if this is a bad time..... Suddenly, Knight grabs the sleeve of Josh's coat. KNIGHT No, it's a perfect time. Come with me. Knight drags Josh out of frame as we fade to a commercial. Commercial break
