I once accused Mr. Dean of stealing a fancy kick he did at a house show from Nova, but my comment went unnoticed by all.

I don't know about you guys but I am pumped for more evil monkey storylines.

McFarlane voiced the important characters and he is most certainly back. Meg already changed voices once and that's not really an issue. Hopefully Seth Green and David Putty (Patrick Warburton or whatever) are back as Chris and Joe. I'm glad to hear that it's confirmed for Sunday (for now). Fox seems to have nothing permenant to put on between 9 and 10, so giving Family Guy the old MWC slot would certainly be great.

Someone mailed me a tape with a Coliseum Video tape called World Tour 96 on it. He tacked it on as a joke as the tape's main content was GAB 89 and Spring Stampede 99. It was the 1996 Kuwaiti cup or some such and was very awful. Bret vs Austin was one of the matches, and it was awful too, noteworthy only for Austin tapping out in the sharpshooter. World Tour 96- Time 1:00 VQ- MASTER Ahmed Johnson & Yokozuna vs The New & Improved Rockers Bret "Hitman" Hart vs "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Duke "The Dumpster" Droese vs The British Bulldog Ahmed Johnson vs Hunter Hearst Helmsley Ahmed Johnson vs Owen Hart (Kuwaiti Cup Finals 96)

EGM's review for SvR said it was better than Velocity vs Heat! How did they manage to play a complete version of the game to know it was inferior?!

Woohoo! London gets on PPV. I guess we'll get to see him eliminated viciously.. wouldn't it be cool for London and Akio to start the Rumble? I know... no one but people who like good wrestling will care. That wasn't a qualifying match. It was billed as one prior to the event, but yeah, no online reports show any evidence of it being billed as such at the show itself. "Royal Rumble Qualifying Match Paul London vs. Rene Dupree"

JR has been calling Benjamin's splash as such for a few weeks now on Raw. Glad I bothered to check the WWE.com Velocity preview tonight, because that was a damn good match. Liked the handshake.

If you can find it online (I got it off Kazaa), check out the UK "Best of Borat". The segment where he riles about some hunting protestors was hilarious.

Anyone know who the Mystery Superstar shot glasses are? Not that it matters. Also, what does a Griffin have to do with Shelton Benjamin?

In fairness, they were company employees during WWE's version of the nWo angle. Now, had WWF.com been on the back of the wCw shirts, that would just be silly.

Not this really means anything (since we had no election for WWF President), but I think a press conference or stock holders meeting, Vince or Linda mentioned WrestleMania as the only PPV where fans could see interpromotional matches

Can't even do a thread about how good a Jericho vs Benoit match will be in Canada without turning it into a "Benoit's getting screwed" thread.

Of course, if you don't care about dying that one time, you can play around in the city to your heart's content when you start up again. It'll put you at the closest hospital, even if it's in an area you're not supposed to be in, in my experience. That happened for me with San Fierro but not Los Venturas. I don't think my wanted level went up from me going into another city because I was still in San Fierro doing a mission. I was right near Easter Basin.

Anyone know what I did wrong here? I entered an area near the San Fierro airport while motorbiking around on a mission (I was supposed get a vehicle from the airport for Wuzi) when my wanted level went up 5 stars. Figuring I was screwed, I just played around and went towards the large boat where I had entered but a seemingly endless amount of people in blakc suits all ran down the boat's entrance ramp beofre I got there and shot me.

Great American Bash

I was thinking Rhyno's Gore has been pretty big for him and I don't recall anyone kicking out, but then I just read that Angle kicked out of TWO of them when he won the US Title from Rhyno. Rock may or may not have kicked out of a Gore as well. I don't think anyone has cleanly kicked out of Tajiri's Buzzsaw Kick (at least not in WWE... don't know about ECW).

So did the old WCW website when it had title histories up. It's not THAT odd, if you ask me. WWE is claiming WCW never acknowleged it, and only now after the sale is it being recognized.

I find it a bit interesting that after they went out of their way to refer to Austin as "Stone Cold" and only Stone Cold in the other title histories, he's back to Steve Austin in this one. Sure, it would look silly to say that Stone Cold lost to Jim Duggan in 27 seconds, but it's also silly to say Warrior beat Hollywood Hogan for the WWE title.

Wonder if we'll get LHW, Euro, HC, or WCW belts. The official company line for the Hardcore title lineage would be interesting compared to, say, WIA's list that uses every house show title change.

Girlfriends so die, as far as I know. Once I got to 100% with Denise I wanted her to stop bothering me so I stabbed her during a date. I was told that due to the abuse, the date was over, but I continued until I was told "Your Girlfriend is Dead". The car that you're allowed to use for getting to 100% disappeared from her driveway. I want to date the girl who let's you keep your weapons after death. That sounds very convenient.

I'm actually finding the first Jizzy mission more difficult the more I play... it seems easy enough, but something always screws me up in the end. The first time, my car flipped over after I blew up the limo. The second time, I missed an alley turn in Chinatown and the preacher got away. The 3rd time I chased him all the way to the country but I hit something, spun out, and ended up falling into the Ocean. It bothers me because it all seems like such a basic mission but I keep failing, and since the 3rd try (actually 4th - the 2nd try I didn't know where I was going when I was going to rescue a hooker and ended up driving into a water hazard on a golf course) was a driving marathon, I didn't feel like trying again. Maybe later. Question: How many more missions until I'm in Los Venturas?

As of this writing, they aren't actually up (or at least I don't believe so - I tested a few and was met with a re-direct to WWE.com's main page or being asked for money, despite my subscription being up to date)

I've asked my friend from the Can-Am school about this a few times. I've often wondered what the goal of a wrestler is - to have the best matches they can, or to make it big financially. His response was that, while ideally, a wrestler would love a world where they could have celebrity status and do the kind of match they wanted to, most would just love a big guaranteed contract from WWE. In the end, it's a job, and you work to make money. That was his take, anyway. He went on to say that naturally someone like him or Petey Williams generally don't expect employement from WWE anyway so their goal is just to have good matches while making good money on the indy scene, hoping TNA takes off as an alternative. This has almost nothing to do with the question asked, but I thought I'd share that. Myself, I've always wanted to wrestle since I was a kid in 1991, and in fact my friends and I used to wrestle on mattresses in the attic back then. We were really stupid kids and I'm frankly surprised we're all ok when I look back at the way we did things (being kids, we naturally assumed to do a DDT, we had to grab the guys head and crash it down without any protection). I've thought about going to the school with my friend but I have a fear of failure and anytime I've tried practicing lock-ups with him I've punched him in the face and given up. He assures me that's natural for beginners, but still, fear of failure and all that.

If Angle/Taker is still the intention, title or not, for WM21 with Angle/HBK being something that was only hinted at with no intention of going there (though they should), I believe it would be a wise move to build to a HBK/Rock match. It gives both something to do that has never happened and probably even creates more interest than Orton vs HHH or JBL vs Cena for the belts would.

I'm interested in what kind of match RVD vs Rey would produce, but that's more of a "this could be good" than a "dream match" that would make money.
