I don't know every case, since I'm not exactly as dedicated to it's downfall as moveon.org or something, but I do know it was used in an investigation of a Las Vegas strip club owner, an event I remember seeing in their local news when I was planning my Feburary trip. The guy has no ties to terrorism whatsoever, and it's use was later criticized. Um... so you don't mind that the guy is being investigated for some pretty serious political corruption charges? If this helps the investigation and gets corrupt officials out of office, isn't this something good? And why does this seem like something that can be widely used on the normal American Citizen? Exactly. Don't do anything wrong and you'll have nothing to fear! They're not going after petty crimes here...

Is it wrong of me to be most upset that Kim Jong Il passed through the station before hand missing the explosion by just hours?

Well, these are the same people who still have those amongst them that refuse to believe Japan lost WWII. At least they don't do "honor killings"...

Orioles win again! 7-6 over Tampa Bay. John Parrish, BJ Ryan and Jorge Julio were today's unhittable combination out of the best bullpen in baseball. Rafael Palmeiro hit a homerun and Miguel Tejada doubled in a couple too. Baltimore back in 1st place 1/2 game above Baaahston. On to beat up Toronto again this weekend!

Is it wrong that I can't stop laughing? This is just so absurd, it's hilarious.

Yeah, its basically video packages, some recaps from last week's show, Xplosion interviews and Mike and Don (or Jeremy) yelling DONT DELAY...ORDER NOW!

THE STEEL CAGE RETURNS! NWA World Heavyweight Title Match Champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Chris Harris The Road To The Cage has ended, and this Wednesday night "Wildcat" Chris Harris gets his long-awaited rematch against champion Jeff Jarrett inside the confines of a steel cage! Can Harris realize his lifelong dream of becoming NWA World Heavyweight Champion? Harris has already tasted gold inside the cage when America's Most Wanted reclaimed the NWA Tag Team Title against Triple X in one of the most celebrated matches in TNA history - can he do it again? Or, will the veteran Jarrett find a way to walk out of the steel enclosure with the title still around his waist? Tune in this Wednesday night to find out! RAVEN AND SABU vs. ABYSS AND THE ALPHA MALE The recent brawls between Sabu and Alpha Male Monty Brown have some of the most aggressive and brutal in TNA's recent history. After Abyss' interference in the match this past week, TNA officials have signed Raven and Sabu to face Abyss and The Alpha Male this Wednesday night in what is sure to be off the chart! We know Raven and Sabu can co-exist as a team, but can the monster Abyss and the former New England Patriot get on the same page? Tune in this Wednesday to watch! FOR A SPOT ON TEAM NWA THE FALLEN ANGEL vs. MICHAEL SHANE Up for grabs in the match between Michael Shane and Christopher Daniels this Wednesday night will be a spot on Team NWA alongside Jerry Lynn, Chris Sabin and Primetime! With the "Original Playa From The Himalaya" Sonjay Dutt departing the team to concentrate on beating Frankie "The Future" Kazarian for the X Championship, NWA officials have signed a match between the high-flyers this Wednesday night on Pay-Per-View to determine who makes the team as we head to the next X Cup event in May! NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE REMATCH Champions D'Lo Brown and Apollo vs. Kid Kash and Dallas The newly formed team of D'Lo Brown and Puerto Rican sensation Apollo pulled off a huge shocker this last Wednesday as they beat Kid Kash and Dallas by disqualification to become the new NWA World Tag Team Champions! TNA's rulebook says a title must change hands on DQ, and apparently the monster newcomer Dallas hadn't been studying up! Proud to be new champions but not wanting to win the gold that way, Brown and Apollo will put the titles up in a championship rematch against Kash and Dallas this Wednesday night! SIMON DIAMOND AND SONNY SIAKI vs. GLENN GILBERTI AND JOHNNY SWINGER w/ Trinity The New York Connection of Glenn Gilberti and Johnny Swinger - along with Trinity - showed their true hatred for Simon Diamond and Sonny Siaki this past Wednesday when they brutally put the beatdown on them. Adding insult to injury, Swinger also shredded Diamond's ring robe to pieces. This Wednesday night, Diamond and Siaki get the chance to dish out the pain against Gilberti and Swinger. What all started when Swinger turned his back on Diamond finally boils over in rage this Wednesday night! ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE ON APRIL 21 - INCLUDING AJ STYLES, 3LIVE KRU, THE NEW FRANCHISE, DIRECTOR OF AUTHORITY VINCE RUSSO AND MANY MORE! CHECK BACK FOR NEW MATCHES ADDED!

Don't listen to the haters! TNA has a consistent pattern of always putting out good shows when they have a hyped world title match, plus its in a cage which always delivers. It's 10 bucks, you haven't watched in a year. Don't like what you see? Wait another year. Give it a shot. I'll be watching on Friday when I'm at home and get the chance, so I'll be avoiding this folder to avoid spoilers until then!

Angelsault having heart attacks about the Yankees losing is tremendous. Once you've been to the World Series almost every year of the last decade, there's no place to go but down. Marvin is right. I was at the game we lost the ALCS in 97 to Cleveland. Since then I've stuck with the team and routed them on. Finally they have fielded a competitive team, and it feels much better coming up from a low then it does from down from a high. Oh, and for those who questioned the O's young unknowns and called us Texas Rangers II, just a friendly reminder that besides the surging offense our pitching staff has the lowest runs allowed total in the league, and the lowest ERA of any bullpen.

Its just STUPID for the WWE to use the name "Hirohito", and the promo they ran last night was horribly inaccurate. I think you're thinking of Tojo. Let me clarify this. Hirohito didn't get Japan involved in the war, the Japanese military did. The Japanese military invaded Manchuria in 1931 without the support of the Japan's democratic government. By the late 30's, the military had control of the government. While Hirohito took few steps to stop the war, evidence shows that he opposed getting the U.S. involved. He also opposed the alliance with Germany. When the war ended in 1945, Hirohito remained in power (although this was mostly a ceremonial position). Hirohito assisted General MacArthur in his efforts to reform the Japanese government in the late 1940s. Hirohito remained emperor of Japan until 1989 (during the lifetime of every Japanese worker in the WWE), when he died. He was the longest reigning emperor in Japanese history. Oh, well I'm not a big history person. My friend is and called him "Hiroshito" so I guessed he couldn't have been such a good guy, and from the way WWE was using Pearl Harbor and the Enola Gay and such, it seemed like they were trying to exploit one of America's enemies...

I thought of this before and posted it in a thread in HD, and figured I'd give a flyer here. I really don't care either way, I just thought it might be a way standarizing what threads are and aren't classic, beyond a mod's judgement. Basically if "X" number of posters think a thread deserves classic consideration (low number like 5) they can nominate it (say in the OAO Classic Nominations thread here in Site Feedback). Once a thread recieves the decided on number of nominations a mod would post a poll in Site Feedback, asking for users to vote whether a thread is classic or not (with a link to the nominated thread in the post). And voting would be open for a certain amount of time before closed (say a week). If Yes get's a certain percentage (60%? a little more a little less?) it will be locked and put in classics, if it doesn't, it is not a classic thread. Maybe this sounds like too much thinking, and if you guys don't like the idea, then whatever, it's just a thought I had as a solution to the "this thread should be classic" "no it shouldn't" "why is this thread in classics?" arguments that sometimes come up. There's the idea, good one?

I'm personally more offended that they're turning one of America's biggest historical threat's and one of the modern world's most insane leaders into a WWE character. What's next, the return of Alex Wright as Adolf Hitler II? ...come to think of it, WCW did kind of try that... Oh, and I'm still looking for a video link!

pfft....ROH has a young pharmacist who can cure WAY more diseases than that...

Or killed..... Or called up a green OVW wrestler to play a caricature of this guy as an inside joke...

Goddamn, what the hell am I watching? The best damn action adventure comedy soap opera on television today.

If anyone can link me to a video of this I'd be very grateful. My friend didn't see RAW and really wants to see this...

My thoughts exactly. Again, to be fair, this was copied from his personal blog which he uses to talk about himself without cluttering the rants...

I had great enjoyment reading that too. I'd love to see the Shane photo

Using this precedent, should I be worried that they call their chicken nuggets, "Mcnuggets"? Never understood all the Mcdonalds hate. You know what you're eating's not good for you, but not much food is anyway. You shouldn't be eating fastfood more than once or twice a week anyway, and if you are it's your own problem (although Wendy's, Burger King and like every other fast food chain is way better)- whoa, didn't we have a fast food forum at one point, or am I just losing it?

Who let the dogs out? WHO? WHO? WHO? wait, was the question?

Thank you for both completely missing my point AND making my point for me. I owe you one. Thanks! I will.

I've recieved nothing but prompt, friendly replies from everyone in TNA I've ever contacted. I've recieved several great gifts like signed AJ Styles photos, posters, t-shirts and videos as a thank you just for ordering. I've been told to send in my receipt for the first X-cup which had technical difficulties so they could send me a clean tape free of charge (other on the board have recieved their tape already). They have offered a monthly package plan which saves up to 15 dollars a month which is nice for fans who order every week anyway, and by getting on TV they're trying to give their fans more exposure for less money. As a long time fan, I've seen nothing but first class from the people that run TNA. But, but OMG...Samoa Joe is better than Jeff Jarrett!!!!!! 111111

Good for him. I'm sure Rob Feinstien video has his latest match avaliable, why don't you go buy it?

Because there hasn't been any financial exchange between RF and Doug that everyone has been talking about. As far as I've heard from anyone he's only the President in name only. Yup, and they have no filed any of the legal papers needed to officially transfer ownership, thus if you look up the official owner of ROH, it will still say Rob Feinstein (even if he's truly out). ROH should be doing everything they can, even little things like that to try to prove themselves and show that they are clean. They haven't. Hell, they're still "thinking" about changing the name of ROB FEINSTEIN VIDEO....hopefully they get around to that sometime... TNA goes the extra mile for its talent and its fans. It is doing what's best for the company's future financial stakes and going beyond the call of duty by compensating the wrestlers for their losses. Thus, not only are they getting paid, but they're getting paid and they get the weekend off and don't have to take bumps. I'm sure they're thrilled. This along with the ground breaking health care beenfit for contracted wrestlers is what seperates TNA from all the other sleazy promotions out there. They're going that extra mile. They're going to get on TV, they're going to give their guys more dates, more exposure and more money and set themselves up as the definite #2. And fanboys like Michrome can't stand it. It was suppoed to be ROH, right? Well they have no one to blame but themselves. Not what Rob did, but the shady, belittling way they've handled the aftermath For those that don't get the Observer, Dave outlines examples in the past of why there's no point in basically taking someone's word at face value. He cited the Pat Pattersion example from the ringboy scandals in WWF (he's gone from the company and will never be back again...except he was still there behind the scenes and back in full a few months later). He talked about Jerry Lawler's problems with the rape trial and how promoters gave the word he was gone as a PR move, but he was back as soon as situation cleared. When that guy (don't feel like grabbing the article to look up his name) murdered Bruiser Brody in Puerto Rico, the company vowed he was blackballed...until bringing him back once the heat died down....as a babyface. Fuck ROH. TNA goes the extra mile, ROH doesn't and they have no one to blame but themselves. This has nothing to do with "Well Jimmy Ace or whatever generic Indy wrestler #5 who does japanese yakuza armdrags and works better than all the WWE and TNA roster combined! (yes right) can do in the ring. It's all about the pinheads running this company. Fuck ROH.

It's worse, at least Dave trolled all folders equally... If this keeps up, I might need to step up again and change my name to ROHrapeslittleboys or something like that...
