  1. Well, the mystery band on the main stage is officially...Mudvayne. Wow, after expecting Anthrax that's sure a kick in the balls. I had to indure Mudvayne a couple years ago as an opener for Metallica at Summer Santiarium 2003 Tour, and they were so awful. Crowd booed them non stop. Oh well, it's still Maiden and Sabbath but the lineup just went down a notch to say the least...
  2. Steve Stone, P
  3. Davey Johnson, 2B
  4. Meltzer: Awwww...I wanted to see Lee Murray again.
  5. I just want to see Cowboy Bob run in during the Undertaker/Orton match and knock out Undertaker with his cast for a false fall. Kind of like when Arn Anderson ran in for the spinebuster at 18...
  6. Scott Mcgregor, LHP
  7. See how they like their government healthcare now...
  8. I feel weird that I've never heard of him. Is he pretty famous and I'm just living under a rock, or is he one of those "cool underground" types in which case I'm just not with it? What movies/shows was he in?
  9. If it's for real, I don't like it. A bunch of workers no one wants to see thrown into a meaningless timewaster battle royal. That's just 10 minutes from say making Eddy/Rey a classic...
  10. He's also now known for owning a chain of local Mexican joints called Tippy's Tacos!
  11. I like how the US will be punished apparently for our great sins against certain groups of people. Under that standard the Middle East should be gone in a sandstorm or something like next month... ...oh and I'm going out for some boxes and tape, never too early to start packing, you know.

  13. RRR, you know I'm an MMA fan (looks at sig...hmm yeah I guess I am), and I see where you're going with the whole MMA is Pro Wrestling argument (same one Meltzer makes) and from a business and showmanship perspective, you're right. But, the styles are noticeably different. It's not for everybody and some people just want to see an atheltic stunt show laid out that only Wrestling provides. So, on that note I will stand behind you in saying UFC 52 and Pride whateveritscalledwiththetournament are going to kick maximum ass and be well worth the money for anyone old or new to MMA, at the same time lay off people for being hyped for Mania. This is the wrestling folder afterall, and Wrestlemania is the marquee wrestling event of the year. Might it be the 3rd best PPV sporting event? Might. But, in terms of Pro Wrestling there is no equal (sorry TNA). Anyway, with that said, maybe I'm just easy to please or something but I am hyped for the show and think they've done a good job with it. I'm splitting it with 4 friends, so for $10 the price sure isn't an issue anymore and I see the potential for a really good top to bottom show. The coolest thing is that it's 4 hours and only 8 matches, 2 of them (the women's and sumo deal) are not going to last long. That means matches like HBk/Angle, The Ladder Match and Eddy/Rey will get their due time to shine instead of being rushed. I think those 3 matches have the potential to really be show stealers. Besides that, I've become a real big mark for Big Dave the last few months. They've finally got a character who the fans connect with and believe in. I get excited when he comes out. I want to see him win that title. I still have that knot in my stomach that tells me he might not, and that to me makes this match intriguing and worth watching. The pop for when, IF, he pins HHH and wins the title will be awesome. It will be different then last year with Benoit. That was more REAL then anything I've felt watching wrestling, but this within the realm of wrestling will be the ultimate satisfying conclusion. JBL/Cena I'm not excited for the match at all but I've at least been in to their interviews lately and my friends and I hate Cena with a passion so we'll have our fun chanting for JBL and hoping he retains. Oh and come on Piper and Austin will be interviewing each other. How can you not love that? I agree $50 is a lot and if you're on a limited budget AND an MMA fan, April is a REALLY tough month. But, if you're jst a WWE fan and especially if you can find a friend or 2 to split the show with, go ahead and splurge. It's Wrestlemania, the entire roster will be motivated to put their best performances on, and it's still the one event a year that's treated with an historical significance, in that things that happen on Sunday will be brought up again and again when hyping future Wrestlemanias.
  14. I've heard it's really awful. Total fluff that focuses on the "comedy" like dressing in drag and getting Mae Young lap dances and totally ignores the shootfight with Angle (or just acts like Angle won easily)...
  15. Mike Boddicker, RHP
  16. Steve Garvey, 1B
  17. Styles

    What if they?

    Ok, that made me laugh! The sad/funny part is I can imagine Russo doing at least some of that...
  18. Jim Rice, OF
  19. Very weird. I actually found it really strange that Maff (among some other ROH alums) worked Rob Feinstein's Fusion show after huffing and puffing about how they never wanted to see him in ROH again. Maybe it runs deeper...
  20. He lost to "LBJ". That was quite the upset, considering President Johnson is well dead...
  21. UFC PPV will be $34.95 this month...just saying...
  22. This is just for lawn seats though, I presume?
  23. Mickey Welch, SP
  24. Team so far is a hoot. I have no idea how this will work out but we'll see... C-Mickey Cochrane 1B-Rafael Palmeiro 2B-Bill Mazeroski SS-Ernie Banks 3B-Eddie Mathews OF-Hank Aaron OF-Earl Averill OF-Al Kaline SP-Cy Young SP-Jack Chesbro SP-Lefty Gomez SP-Mickey Welch RP/SP-Hoyt Wilhelm CL-Randy Myers
  25. Since they're dropping like flies... Randy Myers is the Browns closer.
