Hopefully it's ok to post this here, but I thought it was a dead on article on this situation. It's by Jason Powell from this week's Pro Wrestling Torch http://www.pwtorch.com:

Ok, here's the match order for the show: 1) Stefan Leko vs. Ikuhisa Minowa 2) Giant Silva vs. Choi Mu Base 3) Ryan Gracie vs. Yoji Anjo 4) Anderson Silva vs. Ryo Chonan 5) Makoto Takimoto vs. Sentoryu 6) Rulon Gardner vs. Hidehiko Yoshida 7) Kevin Randleman vs. Mirko Cro Cop 8) Dan Henderson vs. Yuki Kondo 9) Jens Pulver vs. Takanori Gomi 10) Wanderlei Silva vs. Mark Hunt 11) Fedor vs. Nogueira Huge Request, PLEASE do not post any spoilers in this thread, not even any comments alluding to match results. I think I speak for most people ordering the show in that we want to go in and be suprised. If someone wants to make a "Pride Spoilers thread", they can. Ok, thanks!

God the 80s had such bland players, no real superstars. (wait a few years for the 'roids to kick in ) I suppose I'd pick: WADE BOGGS ANDRE DAWSON RYNE SANDBERG no one else really jumps outs much, and even those 3 are trumped by most players at their position today.

I think when it's all said and done. Silva's knee will be lodged firmly into Hunt's jaw, but yeah, Silva might break his knee on his hard head....

Hard to break habit. It's like niccotine, no matter how bad you know it is, you get hooked and can't stop. I guess you figure it's going to get better eventually...

So, when do I accept my Slammy? (or Smarky in this case?)

I only buy tribute cds if they feature well known bands like The Black Sabbath and Ramones ones I own and the upcoming Iron Maiden one which I will get...

Um, they're heels folks, and boring ones at that since WWE wants to be just offensive enough to be "edgy" but not far enough to lose sponsors. If they went all out and made them terrorist sympathisers it'd be interesting at least. They're out there to get USA chants and probably feed Sgt. Slaughter's bi-annual return match on RAW.

HBK accidently causes HHH to win the title, and then pleads on RAW that him and HHH have a 10 year grudge that to this day has not been settled and thus he must get a title shot and settle the score. HHH vs. HBK is signed for Royal Rumble in a "Melodramatic Mayhem" match (there must be at least 25 nearfalls or near submitions before a fal can be counted), and HBK will lose in a thrilling 55 minutes and lose 2.4 pints of blood. Randy Orton will win the Royal Rumble. The next night on RAW, a bandaged HBK explains to Orton that HHH and him have a 20 year grudge that to this day has not been settled and thus he must get the title shot at Wrestlemania, and thus it becomes a 3 way match which HHH wins after pinning HBK in a thrilling 1 hour and 25 minutes and HBK losing 3.6 pints of blood. HBK interrupts a scheduled "Divas Fashion Show" the next night on RAW, declares himself the winner and announces he must get the title shot at Backlash because he and HHH have a 35 year grudge that to this day has not been settled and thus he must get a title shot and settle the score. HBK vs. HHH is signed for Backlash in a "Grimace and Crawl Iron Man Match" in which the most falls in an hour wins, but will only count while grimacing and crawling to attain. After going through 5 tables, falling off 7 ladders, doing 6 kipups and losing nearly 5 pints of blood, the match is announced a draw, title goes back to the champion. HBK pleads to the ref about their centenial long grudge that must be settled and is granted "5 more minutes" which turns into another 2 hours and 20 minutes, and ends with HBK passing out from exaustion and dehydration before HHH can pin him after a pedigree. The feud will be announced over the next night, until Summerslam.

Because wrestling is fake and HHH is not losing his spot in the Chamber. Was that too simple an explanation?

I can't even believe someone is trying to justify Hitler and arguing if we should call him evil. I will treat this thread with the seriousnous it deserves by posting some Anal Cunt: HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HE WENT TO ART SCHOOL WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER HE WANTED TO BE A PAINTER HITLER WAS A VEGETARIAN HE WAS ALSO A NON SMOKER HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HE HIRED GAY AND HANDICAPPED OFFICERS HE WAS CONCERNED ABOUT OVERPOPULATION IF HITLER WAS ALIVE TODAY HE'D LISTENED TO THE CURE, THE SMITHS, AND DEPECHE MODE HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN HITLER WAS A SENSITIVE MAN

Latest from Dave:

I hate to be pessimistic, but at this point, TNA doesn't have time. In order to survive they need to give the fans what they want now so they can have a future to build to. The fans want the Alpha Male, so give it to him.

I think that would be a bad choice if they did that now. It has been proven over time that fans will tune in more to watch a babyface chase a heel champion, than a babyface champion. If they decide to give the ttial to Monty, there needs to be a real fued leading up to it. Better to strike while the iron is hot. The fans are in to Monty, they're sick of Jarrett, just get it over with and make a superstar....

Maybe he should dress as Jesus next time...

Never heard of the 3rd but he first 2 would be good choices if they'd take it.

Johnny B Badd is friends with a Florida radio DJ that promotes TNA and has worked dark matches with Badd that has attracted large amounts of fans to Universal Studios, so Badd is used as a favor to keep their contact with this DJ. He's a decent midcard worker anyway, he's gotten into good shape since he's dropped some weight.

Schools having to call Christmas trees "Holiday trees" is just absurd.

It's official:

Yeah, that was my friends' angle too, that she was a victim in this. I agree, the whole thing is just fucked up, but a little common sense and responsibilty on all sides could have prevented it.

I got a lot of heat with my friends after an incident earlier this year where a freshman girl was killed, hit by a train, stumbling home drunk in the middle of the night after leaving a party, and while everyone was being all "oh, this is so sad" I gave my crass opinion that she should have been more responsible, made safer arrangements and watched out for the big fucking flashing lights and sirens before crossing the tracks. They thought I was a monster, and were telling me how she was a just a freshman who was taken advatage of by her friends and couldn't help drinking on her first week in college, to which I responded "I've gone a year and a half without getting completely messed up and run over by a train". Even though I expressed it was indeed sad and I felt bad for her family and friends, there are other people who have their lives taken from them by actions not caused by their own irresponsibilty and stupidity that I have more sympathy for. They didn't talk to me for a week after. I just don't understand it...

It's just ridiculous. Be more inclusive not less inclusive. If someone is offended by a Christmas display, ask them what religion they are? If they're Jewish, add a menorah. If they're...um....celebrate Kwanza put up a....whatever symbol they use. See the kicker is I think most of these PC police are secular atheists and thus they would respond they don't celebrate anything (poor bastards) so there would be nothing to put up I guess, thus they have no right to complain. If I was a business owner I'd put up something like "Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah and to our atheist friend's Happy Saturday" or something silly like that. Anyway to the poster that's sick of Christmas music, you took the words out of my mouth. Everything is nice in moderation but a month of nothing but the same dozen songs sung in every style over and over again on every radio station and in every store and office is enough to drive you mad!
