    This is a single seat ticket to this Sundays Summerslam. It's in the Loge 22 section, Row 12, seat 10. It's a great view of the ring.

     

    All I'm asking for is 100 dollars.

     

    If interested, PLEASE let me know ASAP so I can arrange for the ticket to be overnighted tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is the absolute latest day I can ship the ticket.

     

    PM me here or email me at [email protected] ASAP

    I got overwhelmed with "real life" ever since I moved up to CT. Job, car, responsibilities, etc...

     

    I felt TSM slipping bigtime as a priority until eventually, I had to come to the realization that I just couldn't do it anymore. Even after that, I still stayed on until I couldn't afford it anymore.

     

    My lack of dedication caused everyone to turn heel on me. It's all good though, I blame myself.

     

    But, I still lurk daily.

     

    More than you think.

    If they're actually paying attention to continuity, it involves the original screwjob from many months ago from Raven. There was a mystery involving Jackie Gayda which caused Jarrett to get dirt on her, etc. The mystery was never "solved" but it implied that Zbsyzko was in cahoots with Jarrett and D'Amore when Raven was cost the belt and therefore, Raven deserves to be in the title picture again.

     

    Throw him into the Brown/Rhino/Joe situation and Joe can get a win on him after Raven takes on the other two in some decent brawls.

     

    Just sayin', that's my take on it.

    It's the same deal with every MMA match that ends early the ref stopped it prematurely the 5 count was just the pro wrestling spin on it.

     

    I disagree. First off, pro wrestling has been around for ages as has the dreaded 5 count, long before MMA was ever popularized so it isn't a spin on anything. Batista did nothing MMA-like in his match with Kennedy. He was just DQ'ed for not obeying the rules. Ref stoppages in MMA are for fighters safety.

     

    Secondly, the best example I can think of is Bryan Danielson's title defense against both Roderick Strong and Homocide, which ended after the ref called the match due to a barrage of elbows, which wouldn't have happened had MMA not exploded as much as it has. The fans booed the finish then and I thought that was probably the best it's ever looked.

    This finish continued to piss me off when it was copied for Edge vs Matt Hardy and the recent Great American Bash 2006 match of Mr. Kennedy vs Batista. The GAB match was the worst one because the stomps/kicks by Batista looked like a typical stalling move that everybody from Nash to every generic big man in the wrestling business does on a regular basis!

     

    I needed to chime in here, I agree with you, it doesn't normally come across as believable, but this isn't a good example. The match was not ended because of strikes, it was ended because Batista wasn't listening to the ref and continued to choke after the count of 5. Not the same, at all.

    I guess I understand it a little better, but I still don't "get it", I guess. The impression I get looking at the shirts and such I see is that most seem to think Tony is a hero of some sort, whereas to me the movie came off as a cautionary tale(the screenplay was written by Oliver Stone if I recall correctly). And while Tonby may be true to himself, Tony's true self is a total jerk. He's greedy and selfish. I dunno, somehow if one were to pick a tragic "hero" I'd be more willing to look to a Jim Kelly type, but then I'm way out of the mainstream...

     

    See, I wouldn't call Tony a total jerk.

     

    He was clearly a very loving brother and a good friend...it wasn't until his rage, feelings of inadequacy and jealousy took over thanks to Cocaine (a hell of a drug) that he went buck wild and burned all of his bridges.

     

    He gave his mom and his sister some money to try and help them out (and to brag about finally making it a bit) and basically took Manny under his wing and made him a pretty penny as well.

     

    And he didn't screw over anyone that he didn't think had it coming to them until he was high off of a MOUNTAIN of Cocaine.

    If there is someone here who can try to explain the appeal of Scarface, I'd love to hear it, like I said, especially in reference to hip hop culture, because I cannot go anywhere without seeing some "urban youth" wearing a Scarface shirt.

     

    I'm surprised that I'm the first one to try and explain this as maybe people don't understand why we "get" Scarface.

     

    I've been asked this plenty of times and I think its because its a gangster version of a rags to riches story that anyone who grew up as a minority or poor can relate to on some level.

     

    Tony is an illegal immigrant who came with literally the clothes on his back and was able to "earn" himself a huge empire which collapsed to his own selfishness and greed. The lesson most of us get out of it is...you can do it too, just don't indulge in excess to the point you end up like Scarface.

     

    Rappers love it because Tony is "tough" in that he doesn't take any crap from anyone (especially since he doesn't have an intimidating stature) and is true to himself. Also, since most rappers go into it to basically make a ton of money without "selling out" and the rags to riches story of Scarface is akin to their goals.

     

    Add in the fact that it was VERY edgy for its time (most F bombs in a single film until the South Park movie broke the record & a level of violence that caused protests in 83) and you have whats essentially a cult classic that has expanded to a culturally iconic film.

     

    Plus the movie is VERY quotable...

    Truth is, I never thought I was cool to begin with and I honestly believe that a lot of the people who thought I was only did because I was the owner. Some I know for a fact were true supporters that I consider friends, like Sass, Kotz, Barron and Malibu.

     

    Anyway, the lesson that I have learned here is this: drinking and posting don't mix. I tend to get pretty emotional when I'm drunk.

     

    As for me, I'm always lurking. I just don't say anything anymore, mostly cuz you guys are entertaining and I don't really feel like chiming in half the time. Oh well.

     

    Some people have a problem with me for reasons I'm still not sure of, but I really could care less at this point.

    So what prompted this, anyway?

     

    Honestly,

     

    Getting pretty hammered, watching the season finale of the Shield and posting about it...

     

    Only to get shit on by her in her first post in a thread on a show she's never posted about, just to piss me off.

     

    Guess what, it worked.

     

    Oh well.

    To be honest with you, naiwf, I'm still in shock to this moment about that scene with Shane and Lem and it sure puts the last 2 seasons in perspective to the point that I really didnt care about the fight between Vic and Kavanaugh.

     

    It was theraputic for Vic for about 10 seconds, but the reality has set in. One of his own has been murdered.

     

    By his best friend.

    The Gloves are off, motherfucker.

     

    I've gone out of my way to pretty much cut you out of my existence for the last 2 or 3 years or so and your ass continues to come back, so fuck it. This will be theraputic.

     

    I'm gone from pure anger towards you, to indifference, to just being goddamned annoyed by you lately.

     

    What the fuck makes you so special?

     

    Out of about 500+ guys that post on the board, you seem to attract the most attention simply because of the fact that you have a vagina and this is probably the closest that a lot of guys would get to associating themselves with a psycho bitch like yourself.

     

    Guys, there's tons hotter, most of whom aren't racist pieces of shit who are actually a lot hotter and dont have their heads all gassed up, like this crazy attention whore.

     

    Anyway,

     

    I hope your doctors have gotten the most they can out of the research money theyve been able to come up with to deal with your bipolar, mental disorders and if not...then hopefully one day, the medical industry will do us all a favor and make sure you don't reproduce.

     

    Goodbye, Bitch.

    I...I can't comprehend this.

     

    I can't believe how hard hit I was by this episode tonight.

     

    I considered Shane to be one of my favorite characters tonight and that scene with Lem....from the moment they hugged, I felt something was off.

     

    In one instant, he turned himself 100% heel better than any moment I've seen in professional wrestling in about a decade.

     

    I FEEL HURT. I FEEL BETRAYED.

     

    Part of me feels absolutely silly for feeling this way about a fucking TV show, but dammit, I've put so much time and emotion into these characters that this simply broke my heart.

     

    I dont think I've ever felt this HURT from watching a show in my life.

     

    That scene will go down in my life as probably the most defining moment of TV that I'll ever watch.

    I live in Bristol, CT now...

     

    Home of nothing but old people and the biggest Ghost Town I've EVER seen.

     

    Coming from life in the Bronx is definitely a big culture shock. Rent is CHEAP here. I've got a 1 BD apt that goes for 525 a month...when you'll pay at least double that in the city.

     

    But getting back to the original point, I blame MTV. Seriously.

     

    I'd explain in more detail but anyone who's turned on MTV in the last 3-5 years has seen the influence this shit has had on today's society. It seriously pisses me off. It basically encourages stupidity, being anti-authority and being sexually active (be it gay or straight), despite the fact that the shows main viewers are 14+.

     

    And this comes from someone who actually used to watch MTV on a regular basis up until about 3 or 4 years ago.
