The Dames

Coffin, I noticed that you have 6 matches in your WWE section that involve Bret & Austin....but you don't have Bret vs. Austin from WM 13. Just curious....what are your thoughts on that match and why doesn't it crack your top 10? Dames

Yeah....who expects to be bitten by a shark and is fully prepared to use Shark Repellant that you just HAPPEN to have there with you.... and it was a MECHANICAL FUCKING SHARK! Gotta love it. Dames

The Batman movie from the 60's with Adam West. Shark Repellant. That is all. Dames

HHH is a good brawler. He can put on the occasional scientific match up against the right opponent (Benoit comes to mind immediately), but most of the time, his juiced up body is good for nothing more than punches, kicks, a sledgehammer shot and the Pedigree. And I was a HUGE HHH fan a few years ago...and a closet mark today a bit, but I can't deny the truth. Dames

I like the vegetables in fried rice....just prefer not to have them most of the time. Dames

Meltz stated on his site that the original plan was for Foley, but it looks like Tazz will be in his stead. Dames

The first time I can recall HHH using the sledgehammer was when the Rock was placed inside a casket and HHH went nuts on it. I'm pretty sure this was in 99. Then again, I could be wrong... Dames

Shrimp Fried Rice (No Vegetables) and Fried Chicken Wings. Dames

I agree with you there, but in the grand scheme of things, I can't award the title of "Best match all year" to a match with a DQ finish unless it blows out EVERYTHING else with a clean finish....let alone call it the greatest match in North American history. I think the DQ ending worked perfectly for JBL/Eddie and a handful of times elsewhere, but normally, the moment that bell sounds, you hear the crowd groan and rightfully so. Dames

I watched SummerSlam 89 the other day where the Hart Foundation took on the Brain Busters in a non-title match. Still a very good match, but I noticed that Bret kneed Arn in the back while Arn was coming off the ropes and it took Jesse Ventura throwing a fit before Tony Schiavone (!) acknowledged that it wasn't right... Dames

Why would kids scream "OH MY GOD" when you pass by? That doesn't exactly sound like a normal occurrence. Dames

I'd say that's one thing I use to determine my favorites. I can't but feel that most of the emotional roller coaster is just wasted the moment the bell rings for a DQ or count out. Run ins...that's different. Dames

Okay...so...whats this all about. Ripper - not using question marks since 11:46 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah...you can't just drop a bombshell like that and expect not to be asked why! Dames

I have to disagree with you on London. I'm a big fan, but the fact that he doesn't have great mic skills shows that he hasn't mastered EVERYTHING. That's a pretty big statement right there. Best Worker - Shawn Michaels, slightly edging out Shelton for me. Most Improved - JBL. On the mic, the guy is gold, he's finally getting seen as a main eventer by the masses and he had a great main event with Cena at JD, probably his best match to date. Spot of the Year - SCM on Benjamin, slightly edging out Benjamins running up the ladder at WM. Biggest Disappointment - JBL/Cena at WM. While their match at JD was great, this is the match that will always be remembered years from now just based on the fact that it was at WM and it was all of 10 minutes. Batista's run with the belt hasn't had the room to shine since it's been all about HHH/Batista and dissing Eric Bischoff for no reason. Last weeks' romp of Hassan and Davari is what they need to do to fix this ASAP. Best Match - Angle/Michaels at Mania. Give Michaels/Benjamin a reason and 30 minutes and I think they could give it some stiff competition. Funniest Moment - Probably JBL w/Godzilla in Japan. Best PPV - WM 21... Dames

I agree on both accounts...but with Ahmed, I think he would have made it to the upper tier, but not have been the number one guy. His IC Title reign showed how rapid the fans were getting for him, but he couldn't keep any of his momentum due to bad luck and injuries. Despite how bad his mic skills were. Hennig was the total package, IMO. Dames

Even though he was AWESOME and had a great career, The Million Dollar Man could have been cemented as a great heel and possibly a money drawing heel in the 80's if they had given him the World Title. Dames

So I hear that there are DVD Players out there now with Divx playback capability, which would really help as that means I wouldn't have to watch all the TV shows I download on my computer anymore. So, which ones are the best to you guys? So far, I've looked at three. There's the Phillips one, which seemingly has a lot of problems The Phillips Player There's the Avayon model, which seems to be the best but I've never heard of it... The Avayon Player and there's the Norcent Player, which I've also never heard of... The Norcent Player Which one would you choose? Dames

The fact that Benjamin is a babyface has nothing to do with it. If anything, HBK put Shelton over in his interview more than he did for Benoit. HBK gave Benjamin the "stamp of approval" and basically called him the next big thing, which gives him a big rub in the fans eyes. HBK put him over huge with that interview as well as the post-match mannerisms after the Gold Rush match. Dames

I'm a Carlito mark so far. He seems to be comfortable out there on the mic and the crowd picks up on things like that and that's where his charisma is portrayed best. I REALLY would like the guy to improve his in ring ability though. Right now, its not worthy of mid card status. Dames

Starrcade 97 was the beginning of the end and I knew it the moment that "fast count" went down on Sting. I really wish WCW was around, just to give us something else to watch on a national level. Dames

The people higher up would have had the actions justified by the ratings, especially if WCW had continued to spank the WWF instead of doing a 180 the month after... Dames

I don't like the way the tap looks to old school submission holds like the figure four or the Sharpshooter. It doesn't give the same emotional vibe to me than hearing the man scream "YES! YES!" and shaking his head in a verbal submission. Dames

you left out awesome. Didn't he snap a couple of Tommy Dreamer's fingers once? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Definitely. May 95, ECW Arena. It was sick looking. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> See, now that's one of, if not the, most dickish heel move I've ever heard of. Anyone got any footage of that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't also forget... "Daddy, you're a drunk. Now, I worship Raven." <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That moment, when Tyler said that to Sandman...was the first ECW episode I had ever seen. I was in love. Dames

I fully agree with you there HTQ. Hogan jobbing for Kidman comes to mind immediately. I'm sure most casual fans watching today have no idea that Hogan was once beaten by Billy Kidman in WCW because he wasn't put over by Hogan. Dames

The double powerbomb was more of a signature move for him. I don't recall him ever pinning someone with it. He dropped it in the WWE since he was wrestling bigger guys and guys wouldn't go up for it properly. I too hate the Crabs of Jericho now. Dames
