It is your birthday.

That's why you're poster of the year!

I don't expect TNA to die anytime soon as long as Panda and Spike keep financing them, but at their current rate someone is going to have to notice they're not a profitable commodity at the moment.

Sounds like I need to knock someone the heck out on my next trip to Jew York.

Let me know when it's not too soon to make light of the events by asking what a Buffalo Plan is.

I thought for sure your answer would be Unforgiven 2008.

sex = nothing banging = doing nothing And so on. That should make some posters stories much more tolerable.

Live specials on Spike run like PPVs instead of Impact episodes would be a great idea. I don't know how you would accurately advertise such things without outright saying "This will have good wrestling matches like our PPVs used to!", because even though it's been said a million times, there's no way any new TNA viewer can watch Impact and think, "Yes, this is the type of thing I want to drop $30-$40 (HD) on".

Yahoo! reporting on the someone's death via exploding cell phone. Glad to see they think it's so funny.

They need to cut back on PPVs to make the ones they run seem more special (as opposed to their current philosophy of running PPVs that no one at all will buy to hype up a later PPV), but - and yes, I admit I am just taking this point from Chico - doing so admits failure, and wrestling companies don't seem very apt at doing that. WWE is claiming SNME went to Fox because of high ratings and it's 18 years after NBC cancelled them!

So when do the funny ones get suggested?

My favourite part: Dwight's sign, Jim just announcing the postponement, Stanley saying he knows because of the sign, Dwight looking on smugly. Runner-up: Michael's breakdown and Pam trying to cover, then just moving on. Good stuff all around.

I got it off my favourite website, stopshowingoff.com. It was nice to see the Forgetting Sarah Marshall reunion of redhead from Accepted and Kenneth.

Greatest Lord's Prayer in television history.

Draft =

I haven't read the Observer this week so it very well could be in there, but that whole thing is actually an opinion piece by Alvarez in the F4W from earlier in the week. It was a really good read too.

I know I sound like I'm ripping off Scott Keith now, but seriously, the graphic saying "Bear" was absolutely hilarious.

I was skimming some of the chapters on Disc 3 of the SNME set today - gotta love how they explain the move to FOX. Was it because ratings were tanking by 1991? A thousand times no! They were so high that they could tender the show to the highest bidder, that being Fox.

Not a great channel that's gone downhill, but this seems like the place to complain about it: Every morning when I get home from work and turn on my TV (since it's the main light source in my room if I don't turn the light switch on at the top of the stairs), I often have the Seattle Fox affiliate on as it was the last thing I watched before heading to work. I can't believe in 2009 that their morning news is broadcast in standard def only - to me, this is a complete embarrassment to the station and a poor representation of the Fox brand.

People shouldn't be banned for being terrible in this part of the board. What's next, banning me for being unfunny in Graphics?

Prime Time and a 2nd MNW (which would have been a repeat of the Raw we see every Christmas and the nWo Nitro, which I really wanted to review for F4WOnline as a historical look back) appear completely absent too, but March often throws the whole schedule out the door for Mania season.

Reading SKeith's recap of the show, I have decided I am watching TNT immediately upon getting home from work. It sounds amazing.

He ended up in WWE as Wildman Marc Mero.

There may be no Cryme Tyme after the draft. The latest WON notes Shad is "on the bubble" and that could be trouble for JTG if they don't want to use him as a singles guy. Shad was pulled from the Rumble as a "message that he needs to improve". "John Laurinaitis had a recent face-to-face meeting with him specifically telling him the company was unhappy with his lack of progress".
