Styles

Hell, I'd love to just pull out and bomb the entire region back into the stone age...o wait...um...well, whatever came before the stone age then...but that wouldn't be seen very kindly to the rest of the world...

What's with all the stories about young, straight, high school girls acting like lesbians, and where were they when I was in high school? What ever happened to just going with friends. You dont NEED a date to go to a dance. Just go with your "friend" problem solved.

Stop using common sense and facts, it doesn't go over well around here. There are 2 truths to the wrestling business that will remain eternal: A: Workers will always complain about their push B: Newsletters will always seek out and make a big deal out of workers complaining about their push.

As I said, Im being realistic. Orton is their golden boy, so if anyone's getting a win over Rock, it's him. Show's been a trooper for the past year and deserves a match on the card. Even if its elevating Cena

I'd imagine since about 4 of the 5 hours will be dedicated to matches, there will be like 11 matches. I was thinking of what card could be realistic (i.e. sorry, Spanky/London vs. Ultimo Dragon/Tajiri isnt happening) while still getting in all the major players they'll want on the card. And I came up with this... Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg Steve Austin vs. Hogan Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eddy Guerrero HHH vs. Mick Foley Undertaker vs. Kane Rock vs. Randy Orton Edge/Rey Mysterio vs. WGTT Vince Mcmahon vs. Eric Bischoff Shawn Michaels vs. RVD John Cena vs. Big Show Jericho/Christian/MHV1/Test vs. Dudleys/Booker/Lance Storm Not bad, I dont think.

Strong finish with 2 excellent matches. I'll give it to AJ/Abyss though.

That's pretty much Russo's idea for every minority...

OMG JEFF JARRETT IS RUINING WRESTLING!

Action was good. Classic segments and great TV matches on DVD....

Screw Flair/Taker. The rest is a good start. Flair's got enough material for at least 2 more 3-disc DVDs. Off the top of my head, Flair/Benoit from WCW, Flair v.s. Bret from WWF (if they've got an Ironman match in the vault somewhere, great, if not they have one with "Real World's CHamp" Flair v.s. IC Champ Bret), Flair v.s. HBK from this year, Flair/HBK v.s. Bret/Savage. Also Flair/Hogan from Nitro when Flair finally pins Hogan just for kicks. You have to have the Flair return to Nitro in Greensboro on the next set as well. Also a lot more vintage 4 Horsemen stuff.... throw a Wargames match on there. That's not even counting all the tag matches, older footage, etc. The well is really far from being run dry when you're talking about Ric Flair. Indeed, there is so much awesome in Flair's career that I honestly believe they could release TWO more 3 DVD sets packed with material. Besides everything already mentioned what about all his classic matches with Sting? He had a bunch of matches with Luger that were really excellent. Chi Town Rumble and even his Spring Stampede 94 match with Steamboat are must sees. And in the WCW era he had some excellent matches with Randy Savage and a classic cage match with Hogan. The Eric Bischoff feud and match on Nitro where he won ownership (the place just exploded for that). Of course that leads to all of his classic segments as president with Charles Robinson and Arn Anderson in his administration. And then his commitment to a mental home. And of course they must include the entire Horsemen reformation from 98, still the greatest moment in wrestling I have ever seen. Hell, the match with his son from 2000 for novelty's sake. And this is all just mostly recent stuff, Im sure theres tons of stuff from the early and mid 80s that could be released too.

Just for reference here is the exact text from the Torch VIP email... -WrestleMania XX will be a five hour event, according to a well-placed source. In recent years, WrestleManias have run four hours at the rough price of $45. This year, WWE is planning to charge roughly $50 to make up for the extra hour. However, don't look for the extra hour to lead to any more matches than usual. Instead, WWE is planning to produce an hour of video packages using footage from past WrestleMania events. No, you won't have to sit through a straight hour of highlights, as the plan is to air the highlights in small doses throughout the broadcast. While I like the idea of the nostalgic video packages, it will be interesting to see how much energy the live crowd has left late in the show. -The most discussed WrestleMania XX matches thus far are Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar, Undertaker vs. Kane, Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon, and Triple H vs. Mick Foley. Rock is also expected to work a match, although there is no word as to whether WWE has an opponent in mind for him just yet. -Vince McMahon is still keeping an open mind toward using Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania XX. However, he has told his confidants that he would not approve of Hogan working a TNA pay-per-view event in February. Apparently, Vince doesn't mind if Hogan works for TNA between now and WMXX, but he does not like the idea of Hogan headlining a rival company's pay-per-view just a month before his big event.

How awesome would it be to have unlimited acess to the video library and get to watch whatever you wanted, whenever?

<spin control>He's only seen one TNA show: The Super X show, which would therefore be both the best and worst TNA show he's ever seen, and therefore better than any RAW in the past 4 years...ehem.</spin control>

If anyone who disagrees with the Orton bashing wants to take a page out of my book and change their sn to "Ortonsault", they are more than welcomed to!

Where'd you go dude? Richard Montgomery here. Yeah, I was a nervous wreck the entire time. I would spend all day worrying if my parents were ok too. My dad works across the street from one of the gas stations...

I don't know what he's cooking...smell's like shit...but I think I'll eat some anyway!

Something's fishy here. Why would they make the announcement nearly 2 months before his contract expires? To the guy that answered that it gives him more time to look for work, they could have told him privately, but that they felt the need to make it public that they were not bringing him back 2 months before is strange. I agree, Dustin better be careful...

I like TNA because.... -Jeff Jarrett holds down CM Punk. No really, the first thing that got me to watch TNA since episode 1 was pretty simple, it was a nationally avaliable (albeit for a small weekly fee) alternative to WWE. -There is more freedom in the ring. No restrictive homogenous WWE style. -In the early days especially, the X division was highlighted and even treated as the main event. -New stars. Not since ECW has it been this fun to watch former no-bodies become name talent. -Old school Southern feel. The intimate arena, Southern crowd, heat building matches, basic feuds give me a fuzzy nostalgic feeling, especially for someone too young to have been into the old NWA. -A little something for everyone. They don't restrict themselves to one style. You can see straight wrestling, bloody brawls, high flying affairs, unique gimmick matches. -Not as much time focused on useless interview segments as much as WWE, oh and NO MCMAHONS. Luckily, No Russo anymore either! -Ron Killings and AJ Styles have been NWA Champions after groundroots support was listened to, you'd never see that in WWE...which leads me to... -They listen to and like their fans. Ok, heel section feud aside, they make an effort to listen to what the fans want, take great advantage of their website and mailing lists, have prizes for ordering show, etc. It just makes you feel involved. -Surpise names. Every week you never know who might show up. They had a string of weeks where every week a name from the past or a recently departed WWE guy would show up. It made things fun and spontenous, especially since they don't wear out their welcome unless they're good. So these are just some of the reasons I continue to support and watch TNA, even as I live at school and thus have to wait until the weekend to watch a tape of that week's show. I'm sure someone will break down each of my points with incredibly creative responses like "Oh yeah, the purple shirt security feud is thrilling!" or "ROH does all of this plus they have 4 hour matches of Lo Ki vs. American Dragon matches..." I don't care. I've seen a little ROH, it's good, it's not nationally avaliable. TNA is. Anyway my response to all of these people is my #1 reason I like TNA.... Jeff Jarrett.

See its an arrangement that works for both of us!

Would YOU let this man play alone with your child?

Wait, wait, wait...let me get this straight...cerebus is a PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN!? Yup. Well, actually my mom (and, thus, myself) took my father's religion (Catholicism) but my mother's family is one of the few Syrian Orthodox Christians left in Palestine (her father's brother's family still lives in Bethlehem). My fiance's (also a Palestinian) family is Coptic Orthodox. Another reason I despise Arafat, thanks to his thugs the Christian population used to make up 60% of Bethlehem before 1993 but now its barely 30%. Here is a good article if you're curious. sighYou TOTALLY missed my sarcasm. It was a play on the popular "Wait, Game's gay!?!" thing that was a running joke. You've posted that you're a Palestinian Christian in like 3 threads now so I was making the obvious joke, which totally flew by you making both of us look dumb in the process. Spoil sport.

Oh she would definitely get afterschool dentention in my office for AT LEAST a month.

Although I've heard he's cancer free, people who have met him or seen him recently say he looks pretty bad. One of the sheets mentioned he was at Hawk's funeral and many didn't recognize him because he had lost so much weight. It reminds me of Gorilla Monsoon's condition shortly before he passed

Wait, wait, wait...let me get this straight...cerebus is a PALESTINIAN CHRISTIAN!?

The leaders are all corrupt and vile too.
