The Dames

This sucks. AJ Wins the Title. Douglas Debuts. The Heel Section make BPS and Bob Barron signs... and I didn't get to see the fucking show. Dames

*The WCW World Title has lost image* Dames

I'm offended for all of the midcard guys who are signing autograph mats right now. For the record Bob, I'm not going to go. Can't skip out on work. Dames

I don't think so. One funny part was when Trips was talking to Kimmel and the kid just started bashing HHH on the arm repeatedly for no reason and Trips looked at him like "what in the HELL do you think you're doing?!" Picture that with Stewie's voice from Family Guy and it's just hilarious. Dames

Ok...in that case, Bif, if you were bringing back the WCW World Title and were trying to restore its prestige and make the title seem important again, would you show footage of David Arquette winning and holding the World Title? Dames

Leave Sakaki in and take McMichael out. Regardless, it won't get a package though. If the WCW World Title Belt didn't get a package, this won't either. Dames

Wow, I really AM on my period today. My bad. Dames

JHawk, all that means is that Storm and Steiner would have gotten an extra minute or so for Storm to get an offensive move or two in. You know, to make it look like he wasn't a TOTAL jobber. Dames

First off, the match was 7 minutes, but that's not my point. My point is that the match isn't enough. He was thrown to the wayside the next night. If they announcers had hyped up the match and played up the fact that it was a hard fought contest, INSTEAD of playing up dissention between Edge and Christian, then Lance would still at least have been in the minds of the fans. If the No Mercy Ladder match between E&C and the Hardys weren't followed up by the pushes that they received, they never would have advanced as quick as they did. How Lance vs. Edge was an integral part of the InVasion is beyond me. Care to explain? Dames

A little. It's that time of the month. <---Look at the Title. Thanks to El Dandy and his SPOILERIFFIC IM about last nights Main Event and the fact that I wasn't able to see the shit. Dames

What in the world are you talking about? The match drew in the fans, but the moment the match was over, it was no longer "Hey, Edge just beat Lance Storm in a great match" it was "Hey, Looks like Edge and Christian might be breaking up." Dames

I think he's just saying that the TSM staff doesn't come across as being wrestling know-it-alls. What he said. Please Dames, do you honestly think I would hold Scott Keith up as the pinnacle of wrestling knowledge? The guys at TSM simply seem to have more of a grasp on the reality of a situation and less of a chip on their shoulder regarding our opinions. No, I wasn't saying that you think Keith is god's gift to wrestling knowledge. I know better than that. I was just clarifying to myself because the way it was written, it almost came across as our inexperience and/or possibly lack of knowledge shows. Dames

I try to stay out of threads like these because I don't want to come in here looking like the stereotypical Yankee fan. With that being said, being a Bronx native, I've seen my share of games and been around my share of Yankee's fans. Now, I am not denying that some fans are very outspoken and try to throw their victories in the faces of other fans, but for the most part, its a bum rap. All *I* ever heard when I was at school upstate was bitching and kvetching from Sox fans and Yankee fans retaliating. The same goes with Met fans. It seems EVERYONE hates the Yankees and it's the cool thing to do...and if you're a fan, you're the devil. That's not fair, especially to those who grew up as Yankee fans who didn't join the bandwagoner in the late 90's. Dames

That's how I took it. I watch A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge the same way as even the director of the film stated on the DVD that it was big in Europe because they recognized the homosexual undertones in the film. Dames

2 Fast 2 Furious Review [2] Posted By Tim C. on 06.11.03 For years Hollywood has skirted around the issue. Press releases, false marriages, beards, outright lies and denial have all been used to mask the sexuality of many of their film stars. Even more so, the community they came from was always denied role models and heros, constantly relegated to fashion designer, interior decorator and hairdresser. Even with the advancements made in the portrayal of homosexuals in mainstream media, they are almost always shown as fey, shrieking and otherwise weak. With the release of this summer's 2 Fast 2 Furious, the landscape of cinema has finally changed; We now finally have the first gay action movie. Furious tells the tale of Brian, played by the bronzed Paul Walker. It's continues the story of a young police officer who, in a fit of confused passion, let his love for Vin Diesel override his duty as a police officer in The Fast and the Furious. When given the chance to apprehend him, he instead let him go. The movie- in a surface gesture- implies that obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting a felon were why he was dismissed as a police officer. But the truth is there, so very simple and so very obvious; His love for another man so threatened his fellow police officers that he was forced to leave, "disgraced" in his love for another man. In 2 Fast 2 Furious he finds himself in Miami on the lamb from the law, street racing to survive and maintain a lean, tan physique. During an intense race he is apprehended by the authorities and told that he if helps them with a sting operation against a drug lord, he will have his so-called "disgrace" of man-love erased from his record. Upon learning this, he decides to bring in an old friend. Enter Rome, played by R&B-singer Tyrese, an accomplished driver in his own right. We learn that when Brian became a police officer, during a bust he came across Rome without realizing it and was forced to arrest him. We learn this as the two fight and wrestle with one another in the dirt under the hot sun. Their writhing bodies cling closer and closer to one another as they confess their inner animosity. It is all a veiled pretense to cover the true subtext of the scene. We really know that the obviously openly gay Rome finally confessed his love to a young Brian, who was confused by this admission. Not knowing what to do he conformed to the "norm" and dismissed Rome by "sending him away" to prison. Now, as a grown man, ready to confront his true self, he seeks out his first love, Rome, to fill the hole in his life. Brian's love for the man let a criminal go before and he finally awakened to his inner self. The two go undercover for a local drug lord, and are forced to endure the presence of fag-hag extraordinaire Monica, played by Eva Mendes. She serves as a temptation to Brian, trying to drag him back in to the straight world, but never succeeds in more than kissing him as Brian has an awakening and never turns back, in fact ending up with his true love, Rome, at the end of the film as they decide to "Open a garage" together. The movie is for men about men and manly love. It's about cars, sleeveless shirts, toned abs, and more sleeveless shirts. The movie does so much but is still held back. The two leads never kiss, although their animal passion gets the better of them on many occasions, so much so that they come nose to nose and pull away before a manly embrace. The car races are pure euphemisms for sex for the two men. They engage in tag-team racing and it's through their drive and performance that they win in climatic and almost orgasmic celebration after victory. The cars are fully extensions of their psychological and metaphysical libidos. Every car race features hard turns, white knuckles, sweaty brows, collisions of pure sexual violence, with shattering frames flying through the air like the explosive release of passion. The movie cannot show it's two leads in an emotional and physical embrace so it constructs embraces and erotic lust in the form of automotive encounters. The film is not high minded with it's embracing of cars as nothing more than the colloquial equivalent of their "cock", but it doesn't matter. The film, especially under the written focus of Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, is the utmost epitome of "gay". The day of the gay action film is finally upon us. Hollywood will finally recognize the masculinity of these gay men and their gay cars embarking upon gay races- be they physical or metaphorical. It matters little that the film at it's core is a hodge-podge of cultural "of-the-moment" slang and expression, fueling and capitalizing on a fad that has been embraced by upper-middle-class-suburban teens bankrolled by their parents, horrible movie clichés, and most of the entire run of "Dukes of Hazzard" (before the cousins took over for Tom Wopat and John Schneider). It matters little that this movie suggests a stunning regression for John Singleton after his very personal and very mature Baby Boy, because he will be a part of the new gay vanguard. So, when you see 2 Fast 2 Furious, do not be ashamed to walk out of the theater and in the loudest voice you can muster, shout to the world "I just saw a gay film!"

Just so we're on the clear....you're not saying that I don't know what I'm talking about, right? Dames

Pinjockey has a point with Rikishi...especially if they play up the fact that 'Kish made it to the finals of the 2000 KOTR. Make Cena's win a big deal. I'm NOT advocating a Rikishi/Cena feud, but since Rikishi hardly jobs for some reason, I think it would be a good way to keep Cena with some heat in a tourney. Dames

I say leave it alone. Cena's gimmick alone would give it some heat, especially after claiming that he was down with the FBI at Judgment Day. Cena is much more over than Stamboli and would therefore become a defacto face for the match. Dames

They did have a year in Junior High, maybe they counted that one. Dames

I have to disagree with you there, Some Guy. If Jeter were offered to go to another team, they would have to offer a hell of a lot of money to get him. When Soriano's contract is up, he's going to get PAID as well. Dames

I noticed the hypocrisy of those messenges early enough. The ads talk about "if you don't want to receive these pop ups anymore, go here and download such as such." But as long as you do what I said up there...you don't need to do that or pay for a pop up killer. Dames

Bob wasn't able to tape TNA, leaving me without a Diatribe. Can anyone hook me up? Does anyone know when the replay is??? Dames

YES!~! Imagine if Junior was convicted and then ended up in Oz? Gold baby..Gold. Dames
