The Dames

Orton as the vengeful babyface could work. Girls already like him and his finisher is cool to bring the young crowd that like to emulate moves in. His tough matches and the fact that he IS champion is enough to earn the respect of the tough men. Orton and Edge team up to take on Flair & Batista. Play up the fact that Flair & Batista were 2 Time Tag Champs. The match is GREAT as Orton is just taking a beating from Evolution, with him trying to get the hot tag to Edge ...he makes the tag....and Edge joins Evolution for another beatdown. Edge, the man that took his Intercontinetal Title, took his place in Evolution... Dames

Fuck it, you know what. I've had so much fun watching Raw, talking about this tonight... I mean, even the title of the thread says it ALL. It's going Classic tonight. Dames

....You know who's booking this angle. I don't care WHAT you say, I don't care WHAT you think of the guy, Triple H deserves credit for putting this angle together. He's got to be booking his own angles at this point and he's always been an NWA fan, admitting that he watches classic matches all the time. Maybe Triple H in control isn't THAT bad... Dames

You NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, make the HEEL the guy chasing the title going into Mania. Mania should be about good triumphing over evil, PERIOD. It's TWO MEGA over guys at that point. People would WANT to see this match with my plan. If you stack up the rest of the card, that would be a great, great match. Evolution is a coolish group and they're getting more cheers than boos, so a stip like that would draw the crowd in. Dames I understand that, Dames and if you were talking about ANY OTHER PPV I'd be like HOT DAMN, DAMES YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. But... it's WrestleMania. Sometimes you got to take a chance. I am CONFIDENT that a storyline as rich as that one...would draw in fans if it was promoted right. You have to have a STRONG undercard though and that can be done with this roster. Dames

That was the BEST executed Angle I've seen in YEARS. I don't know about you...but I was into it. They really had a good story there with Triple H acting as the mentor... *Thumbs down* Awesome. Godfather like. Dames

BEST RKO EVER! He better ALWAYS do it that way from now on. It will be the next Stunner. Dames

If they are SERIOUS about getting Orton over with the crowd as a heel...this is what they should do. He should LOSE tonight's title match to Benoit, giving him the title back. Orton would be CRUSHED since the announcers and wrestlers would call his victory a fluke. Triple H could still be the leader of Evolution, going after the World Title and such. His consolation for Orton is to tell him that regardless of how long his title reign was, it was at SummerSlam and THAT's the match that's remembered, that's the match thats on the video stores, that's the match that goes on the annual highlight reels. Keeping Orton in his place... Orton would then be on a MISSION to win the World Title back...but was actually most concerned with how long his title reign would be. He ends up winning the World Title and holds it til Wrestlemania (making a BIG DEAL about his first title defense, which is an automatic draw with an over champion), where Triple H goes for the shot. Triple H tries to tell him that he doesn't want to hurt him, so Orton should just make it easy on him in their match. Orton is of course appalled and tells him that he doesn't have to listen to him. He won the World Title defeating a man that he couldn't (Benoit), he was the youngest champion, Triple H was how old? They wouldn't come to blows, but eventually Flair brings them together and agrees to a stipulation match. The winner of the match is not only the World Champion, but the leader of Evolution and the loser is kicked out. Dames

That promo was fucking AWESOME. Triple H actually looked like he was now in Flair's position for a second there and put over Orton more than he's ever done for anyone else EVER on the mic. Fucking awesome. Dames

...If you really that your wallpaper. Then DAMN, I'm flattered. Dames

I don't know how anyone found that...but I want to delete that fucking site. It's just plain ol' embarrasin'! Dames

Mr. Barber...it used to be one of my signatures. Here it is for you... Dames & Vince Dames

What kind of friend does that to somebody? My bad...I completely wrote that part wrong. The place I was looking to move into is what charged me all that money... Sorry! Dames

Speaking of the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, during the recent brawl, did you catch the awesome side headlock by A-Rod? Varitek tried to counter with a Ric Flair-esque shin buster, but A-Rod shifted his weight and the Falls Count Anywhere On the Field Match ended up near the dugout! Dames

I've never been there, but I've always wanted to go too. I was actually going to go to Boston with my girlfriend at the time a couple of years ago. September 14th -17th, 2001. Had everything booked, had money saved and everything. After 9/11 happened, we canceled the hotel and all that and I still haven't been there. Dames

So, I've finally signed up for driving school. I know what you guys must be thinking. "What the hell took Dames so long to learn how to drive?" Well, this is why. The first 3 months that I came up to CT, I was staying on my friend's leather couch (cool to sit on...not to sleep on), trying to save up to move out and get my own place. It turns out that they wanted first month's rent, last month's rent AND a security deposit...which is a months rent plus a hundred bucks. So I'm looking at 3 times my rent bill AT LEAST just to get into the place! Anyway, I moved out and at that point I started looking for a driving school. Don't get me wrong...I would have accepted lessons from friends, but those who offered only had cars with stick shifts. Learning how to go straight without freaking out is enough for me. Once I get driving down, I'll see if I can learn stick. Back to the story at hand... I searched the phone books, I took people's recommendations and looked online and I could NOT find a driving school in my area that was willing to pick me up from my apartment for the driving lessons. How the hell was I supposed to get lessons then? Finally, I found this little rinky dink place nearby and I called them. They agreed to pick me up and they told me that they require a down payment on the lessons. So, I waited some more til I had the money...and I went to the office to sign up today. Since it's the summer time, the instructors are BOOKED because all of the 16 year old brats who are out of school are taking up all the time. So, I set up my lessons in advance. Starting September 7th through the 11th (I'm taking 1 and a half hour lessons for 4 days and a 2 hour lesson to cap it off). So those of you in Hartford County, commuters on I-84, I-95, I-91, I-87....beware. The Dames will be on the road soon. Dames

...I love this show. I can't lurk? Dames

I agree...fucking hilarious. Dames

...what does your sister look like? Dames

Does anyone else think that Amanda is just so incredibly cute? Definitely a step up from Ingrid... Dames

Alright, alright...let me school you really quick. In late 98/early 99 I believe, the WWF came up with a boxing style tournament called the Brawl For All. The rules were that you could box, or you could do take downs. Now Jim Ross has always been one of Steve Williams' biggest supporters and practically got him the job in the company. He had convinced Vince to do this tournament and since Williams is a legit tough guy, everyone figured on him to win. The bouts were 100% legit to make Williams look THAT good. But that was not to be... The first round was disastrous as the matches were terrible and many of the guys got injured. I specifically remember The Godfather, Savio Vega and Bradshaw having to be out for some time due to the tourney. Anyway, Bart Gunn faced Williams and knocked him out, catching the company with their pants down. Steve Williams never got a chance in the WWF after that and Gunn went on to face Butterbean. The WWF felt that if Gunn even got a couple of good shots in, the company would look good...but they didn't count on him getting DESTROYED. That killed his entire North American career. His tag title reigns as the Smoking Gunns? Means NOTHING. The only thing that he'll be known for in America is getting knocked the fuck out by Butterbean. Bart Gunn ended up going to Japan where Steve Williams had built himself a great reputation, so Gunn besting him in a legit situation gave him respect over there. He's been there ever since, never to return to the WWF. He made an appearance or two in TNA a while back, but that's about it. Dames

No, I mean this is going to be a fucking classic. Seriously. A must see. Dames

That's going to be a fucking classic. Dames
