I would like to see a modern Royal Rumble open with Vince McMahon yelling the names of all 30 participants while a graphic of the wrestler appears on screen. PPV_Intro___WWE_Royal_Rumble_92.mp3

Just for the sake of completeness and not because I'm some weirdo, the obit photo:

The following is a statement from the Chairman of the Board of WWE: "We at WWE apologize for the remark alluding to the death of Steve Irwin which was made on ECW on Sci Fi Tuesday night. The remark was, in the least, disrespectful to Mr. Irwin's fans and family."

"like with the Xbox 360" "after hearing about the Xbox 360..." Granted this was 6 years ago, but am I the only one who remembers the PS2 going for outrageous prices in classified ads in papers and on the internet after launch? I guess because it's another Sony product, but that's my point of reference on the whole issue. I'm not an industry analyst or anything, but I don't think buying a PS3 as a money making investment is a great idea. There is too much negative buzz for this console - but then again, there's always someone willing to pay more money for something than they should.

I was just reading about this game yesterday... how odd. It came up on the wikipedia entry for Don't Copy that Floppy.

PWInsider says that Sylvan is in the doghouse.

From PWI: This week's ECW on Sci Fi did a 2.1 cable rating, with a three share. The rating was up from last week's 1.9, but was down from the usual 2.2-2.3 that the show does, probably because of the holiday weekend and the Raw number being down this week. It's interesting to note that even with DX headlining the show, it still did under its average. The quarter hours were a 1.8, 2.0, 2.0, 2.2 and a 2.4 for the overrun.

Funny how that didn't stop the FSU-Miami game from being the second most watched college game in ESPN history That is the other factor.

You didn't finish the first sentence. Ortonsault wouldn't ban people. He's a gentleman, and wishes good will to all. I also wish good will to all. However, I'm someone that gets the job done. That's what I mean by leadership skills. That's what happens when you re-word what you're saying without actually re-wording anything, just deleting a sentence to ad a parenthesis. It should read "disagree with" at the end, but I'm sure people could figure that out... and I was not implying OS would ban anyone.

I was just making an Office reference.

I'm assuming Canada being crossed off a map on one of those images is a joke... if they have a US launch that doesn't reach Canada, that's pretty awful. The first "Wii wish you a Merry X-Mas" one is my favourite with the altered Failure to Launch movie poster in second.

Does Addams Family Values count?

Not to be a jerk or anything, but wasn't there a whole argument a few months ago that ultimately resulted in HTQ setting the rule we could only paraphrase from Observers, not post them word for word (or in this case, an actual scanned copy)?

Well alfdogg did threaten to crack down on people calling people idiots for having an opinion you (as in the you "the poster", not you Leena) but really, I don't care who the mods are - I just post and such. They could be you and Ortonsault for all I care. Hey maybe that's not a terrible idea... but I could see mass bannings if that happened.

Hooray for everyone.

" We have a story on what is being negotiated next for Kurt Angle that will definitely cause a lot of talk." Hype for one of two Observers coming out next week.

I thought he didn't want the IC title?

Damn radio station doesn't even have it's own wikipedia entry.

I have friends that are dead set on getting a PS3 at launch, $600 (American, no idea what it will cost here in Canada) be damned. I'm not sure why, though.

The story goes that Moore was hired because his girlfriend (a WWE make-up woman) pushed the idea to Vince that Moore was able to be signed away from TNA AND had just pinned the face of TNA, AJ Styles.

The deal is the channel is not a "soon to be" former WB, it is a former WB. MNT (MyNetwork TV) launched officially launched on Monday (and many channels had dropped their "brand" programming prior) but the CW launches later. If you have a UPN that isn't part of the CW network, SmackDown is gone and/or displaced on a soon to be CW until the network launches.

Well it's 40 pages long - it happens. I just went through it the other day myself (for the longest time I assumed this was a scat haven of some sort and ignored it).

I assume there is a backstory I don't get as to why he was talking to himself for the first five posts of the thread, but in a tone that he was having a conversation with someone. Edit: Oh I get it someone else was using his account. Carry on.

I thought the thread title was asking if we recycle burger wrappers. Pretty much what everyone said about leaving stuff on a burger wrapper but eating rogue Mexican food with a fork rings true.
