I wonder if Jericho/Steamboat was originally planned to use a DDT on the floor but was switched up to use the set. Probably not, but I'll pretend that's the case.

I assume in North America it would be released day and date with the Rumble DVD (which is today). A quick search of Amazon and Best Buy makes it seem that isn't the case though.

Agreed. I think I'll check Conan out a lot in the beginning, and then do a lot of back and forth Thank goodness for living in the DVR age. Even if I couldn't record two programs at once, there's always the west coast time shifted channels.

On SmackDown they were a bit more pronounced with "undefeated in singles competition" for ol Vlad. But yeah, Raw seemed to drop that key aspect.

The name of this facility, you ask? "Friendship Village". F4W Newsletter also states that "Gagne at one point in the past had put Gutmann in some variation of a choke hold or sleeper, but hadn't done any serious damage".

I don't know if that was just a bad crowd or they had micing problems (at various points, notably during the Steamboat/Jericho segment, there were audible 'clicks' or 'audio jumps' - the best terms I can come up with - that seemed to indicate someone in the truck was trying to tinker with the crowd volume) but they seemed like a 'meh' bunch. I'm going to have to disagree with Gary Floyd's opinion on the Jericho bits because like last week's segment with Piper, his bit with Steamboat was fantastic. It's great how they can work in seemingly trivial bits of wrestling lore (Steamboat never working as a heel) and play off of that. Props to the crew for using Steamboat's often edited off DVD and 24/7 WCW theme in the HOF piece, too. Did anyone else catch Lawler's subtle depressed comment about never wrestling at WrestleMania? It was either during the MITB Qualifier or Shawn vs. JBL since Mania was discussed, which I think further lends credence to the idea he might be one of Jericho's Legend Gauntlet opponents. I am looking forward to Kozlov vs. HBK next week. What a test that will be for Shawn.

It was taken care of, don't worry about it. I also missed the fun. Anyway, for those of you like me who are so deep into you rasslin fandom that seeing you laugh to yourself when you see something like "Vote Jeff Hardy for Sheriff" or a restaurant named "Morrison's", there's a group on facebook called "Photos from Stuff in the real world that reminds us of wrestling".

Sounds like someone got a low score.

He sure is. I told him last week to stop infringing on Spaceman Spiff's name. I think I'll just throw him out.

It is 1200 points. A quick read over of the above article will alert you to the new lower cost for Gold members.

See that K-Tic? The runner up in the 2008 WPOTY gets it... and the 2009 POTY winner doesn't? We're living in crazy times.

This has been described as hot sauce.

Any good results for your google search?

If it's text, that seems like TSM's fault, does it not?

I think he wrote his own wikipedia page because that sort of thing is omitted. Instead, it champions him as losing his job for producing huge hits for ABC (but Lost was too expensive).

If you were using Firefox instead of IE, you could just "block image" the offending image and you'd be all set.

What video are you watching?

Ha, Lloyd Braun. His phone wasn't even plugged in! I'm sure Eric Bischoff would throw Jamie Kellner in here.

We have what I thought were money flavoured Doritos in Canada now (which I thought was in poor taste in such economic straits) but apparently the dollar sign on the white bag means it's a flavour naming contest. I recall hearing this was awful in the States, but that was a "guess the flavour" deal right? http://www.doritosguru.ca/

I don't know, being able to view sigs/avs with some of the stuff TSMers put up? That's borderline VAYOR.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. TSM wishes mellow the best in all his future endeavours.

I sent an e-mail to my Cogeco contact about not having the Legends show or SuperBrawl III. He thanked me for alerting him to this (on behalf of other area subscribers who don't know what the hell they should and should not have, I guess) and said he's looking into it.

Where is this from, by the by? WON mentioned that he "hasn't been around" and his name doesn't come up, but more towards the "he's there and can contribute, but his interest in marking out for being on the writing team is over".

Or jokes (or attempts at joke) since this is TSM and all. D.B. Cooper reminds me of NewsRadio, so that's a great example.

And how can someone not love Sophia?
