Andy Richter is a huge fan... Conan seems "out of it" when wrestlers appear on his show. Unrelated note, wikipedia states that Adam Sandler and Jim Carey are big wrestling fans and declined to be in Nacho Libre because it "made fun of the sport they love".

The fact that PSP seems to have a DK game is pretty newsworthy.

Proposition: "The OAO 24/7 Thread". Discussion of what's on, what will be on, and even the internet version of it (the former WWE Jukebox). Enough interest?

The Chairman speaks on Kurt Angle By Louie Dee August 28, 2006 On Friday afternoon, WWE and Kurt Angle came to a mutual agreement on releasing Angle from his contract early. Several WWE Superstars have given WWE.com their reactions to Angle’s release, and on Monday afternoon, WWE.com spoke with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon about it as well. “It’s unfortunate that Kurt was released, and it’s really unfortunate for the WWE fans who for a while at least won’t see Angle in action,” the Chairman told WWE.com. “(Angle) is a consummate professional; obviously he’s a great athlete, and he’s the only Olympic Gold Medalist in WWE history. Not to have Kurt with us is really unfortunate all the way around...but circumstances were such that Kurt should have been and was granted his release.” However, McMahon also said that Angle’s success has come at a price, and that price is part of what led to his situation. “Kurt has a history of being one of the greatest athletes that America has ever seen. It’s no secret that even when Kurt won the Olympic Gold Medal, he did so with a broken neck,” he said. “Kurt has been dealing with that pain, and the advancement of that pain, as well as other injuries. He had been dealing with that injury since he won the gold medal; he had been masking it in many ways just so he could go out and compete. Kurt only knows 100 percent, he is not one of those guys who can go out and compete at an 85 percent level. He just cannot do that; he’s a thoroughbred. He has to go as fast and as great and as strong as he possibly can; that’s the only way Kurt Angle knows.” The Chairman also confirmed that the door is always open for Angle to return if and when he is able. “WWE would certainly welcome Kurt back with open arms,” the Chairman affirmed. “I think Kurt has some issues he has to face, as we all do from time to time. We all have our demons, and as human beings it is important for us to overcome them and become better human beings, athletes and business people.”

I got it last week and I enjoy it. Today I watched the 90 minute AWA special (which someone told me was part of a series of PPVs on DirecTV in 2002 - it's hosted by Mean Gene and seems to be under a banner of "Classic Wrestling"). I've been enjoying watching back-to-back Raw/Nitro as well. They are up to nWo winning War Games 96 right now, and the next new one will feature the Raw debut of Razor and Diesel II. It was also interesting watching Vader (Bullpower Leon White) sqaush The Nasty Boys (Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sagonovitch in wrestling tights).

Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton (#1 IC title contender) and Torrie vs Candice (a "Back to School Girl Paddle on a Pole Match") have been added.

I was happy I took a few minutes away from Entourage to see the Stewart/Colbert bit. That was funny stuff. Also, very glad The Office won.

I live in Canada and always order from the US Amazon.com, usually reciving product 2-3 days after it ships.

Well it's been a fun ride but the season finale of Entourage is on in 9.

The only show I don't watch... (though I hear Monk is a fine show and all).

Enjoyed the bears.

I was wondering why there was a Desperate Housewives commercial on NBC, but it hit me I'm watching CTV.

Close enough to the Report...

Isn't Marion Jones dead? Edit: No, that's someone else. Nevermind.

Go Piven!

What just happened? It seemed like they made a run in and Conan repeated their names twice.

Fixed

Awesome song.

The South Park closet bit... and now Conan is an online predator. Awesome.

I'm not big on awards shows but that's normally because I don't like the things being nominated. However, The Office is great and I enjoy Conan... and hey, maybe even Colbert can win an Emmy. So far, good stuff.

So, had Zack and Co. just left the mall with $3,000 and decided not to try to buy and re-sell tickets (or even managed to be sucessful in their attempt to do so), would that whole Candid Video show segment have been ruined and/or out $3,000? And what about the money they already spent? Did they have to give the rest back or did they get to keep it?

Ortonsault is the man! I don't know if that has been clarified at any point in time, so I'm putting it out there for the masses to digest.

Have these eggheads even considered how their reclassification of Pluto messes up the Sailor Moon canon?

Random observation point: Your sig implores people making you a mySpace addition, but when I did so, I was removed in a big deletion purge.

I watched "The Man" and a movie featuring Roddy Piper as a terrorist at a beauty pageant ("No Contest") today after work.
