For whatever reason, I find Carla Gugino and Molly to look similar. I like Carla, but she wasn't on the list. I like Molly as well. As a result, I end up voting for Molly and Carla. Shania > Molly, but Carla > Shania, so Molly wins. That probably makes no sense, but that's the way it is.

With Tina Fey gone, I'm backing Katherine Heigl 100%

Oh, it wasn't a complaint. I was legitimately wondering how long the tallying process was.

I won tickets to the first theatre PPV, Rumble 2000, and the place was sold out and it was awesome. I also went to Judgment Day that year as a birthday present, and while good, the theatre attendance had already started dropping. I've just kinda of assumed that over the past 3 years attendance has been low and therefore not as fun, but I could be wrong. As for the bar, last year at Mania it was NUTS. It didn't help that the event fell on St. Patrick's Day. Attendance really dropped off around Judgment Day. It was hard to gauge Royal Rumble since 1/2 of the bar was on the "football" side (2 big TVs), but NWO attendance was way up and people were really happy to see Austin back.

So when does round 2 start?

The theatre is a good idea, but I'm going to be a cheap bastard and go to the local bar and watch for the price of a hamburger.

Actually, yes, the Flair flip is there. The first time I watched it I had missed it while reading or doing something else and assumed it was edited.

the really weird thing is, in Canada, Cogeco is offering the PPV for $34.99 Canadian. Isn't that the same price as normal PPVs? I haven't caved in to their demands of having digital cable to watch PPV, so I don't know.

I think the ending to Kane vs Angle at WMX8 is edited. I remember it looking really (REALLY) bad live, but watching the DVD it just looks "kinda sloppy". I think a different camera angle is used on the commercial release of WMX8 when Rock does the people's elbow (as the original angle showed Rock barely connecting). I THINK (this is based on memory) a botched Flair flip is edited out too. The funny thing is both of those are shown in their original form in the end of show video package.

I got lucky with WMX8. I had to be at work for midnight and thankfully the show didn't use it's entire 4 hour window (just as most PPV's end at 10:45 instead of 11). Just incase there was some lingering doubt, Josh said on Velocity last night it was "extended" to 4 hours.

Essa was going for the "flippity dippity arm drag", I believe, but fell down... I think. Either way it was running towards the ropes while holding Eddie's hand. The funny thing about the Jericho edit at SummerSlam is that the first show has Rhyno irish whipping him away from the entrance way edited together with him being thrown in that direction. Sloppy. Oh, BTW Bob, I also thought the Allied Powers music was cool.

I THINK it was to Chris Jericho, but that's just thinking of recent angles. Either way, it was hilarious. As mentioned in another thread, one of my favourite moments from 2002 was from Vengeance (from Detroit, keep in mind). "Edge was in attendance at WrestleMania III... sorry, that was WM VI, WMIII was held right here in Chicago"

bob barron said I could probably start a thread of edits since 2000 if it wasn't for the fact I probably wouldn't remember anymore. Most recently (haven't seen Armageddon and probably wouldn't realize something being edited out), Survivor Series edited out Rico yelling at Jeff Hardy for missing his cue. Going back a few years, WMX-7 has a different camera angle for Eddie falling off the ring apron (although it's still somewhat visible in the corner) and I believe it shortens the amount of time Test was stuck in the ropes. The commercial release for Backlash 2000 removes a blown spot by Essa Rios (replaced with a shot of Chyna on the outside). That's off the top of my head...

Vince's shirt at No Way Out, which stated that he would do "NOTHING" when Hulkamania runs wild on him (ie lay down and job) and said that "Brother SUCKS". Brother SUCKS must have really hurt Hogan's feelings.... The whole Steiner / HHH match at the same show. 10 minutes of hilarity. Steiner kicking HHH in the back of the leg only to fall on his own ass was priceless, as was the next night on Raw where JR blamed Steiner's poor reaction to the US Flag on his tights. As mentioned before, Test getting caught in the ropes at WMX7 and Viscera slipping during a hardcore walk in. The leader of the lesbian protestors breaking out in laughter while trying to deliver her lines to Bischoff. Mr. Perfect's promo from WM9, "The Larcisist.. Loucsisit..... whoever Mean Gene" or something like that. Rico yelling very loudly at JEff Hardy not being on time to knock him off the top rope (which sadly was edited from the DVD).

^ used to write on the same site as me (twice!)

Did everyone go to that Sont TV website and vote for NewsRadio on DVD? I didn't have time to read all the older posts but I randomly clicked on page 12 and it seemed that it was mentioned.

If you say it's interesting, then I guess it's interesting.

I couldn't even listen to Byte This to hear this big announcement. I was listening to theme music being played before 4pm est with a green screen, then a Rock/Hurricane promo was playing. I figured if I downloaded WMP 9 like the website says I'm supposed to, the green screen would be replaced by video. Well, I do that, install, get the codecs, install, click on Byte This... NOTHING. Now nothing plays. Stupid WMP and stupid WWE.com (none of the videos on the site will work for me... though the rarely did in the past)

They're getting really edit happy lately on the commercial releases so I wouldn't be surprised to see the funnier parts of the match (Steiner falling on his ass after delivering a move, the negative crowd response) removed from history. I know the Unforgiven 2002 DVD edited out Bubba accidentally dropping Lance Storm, despite the fact that it was passable as an intnetional move AND the announcers referenced it. - Steve G.

Don't forget to read Steve Gray's latest! Coming soon to the Archives (I would think)

Well whenever I preview it, it looks fine to me. If anything, I find it runs a bit too much to the left without filling the screen, and I think that has to do with the images I've been throwing in. I wish I could help you but it seems to look ok for everyone else. What browser are you using? I know in IE it looks fine (to me). -Steve

They're going to exhaust the crowd if Rock vs Austin is anything but last on the show. I know everyone wants the world title match to be last, but WM8 proved putting the big mark out match at the end can work (I mean, despite the fact the show sucked from a good match standpoint after Flair-Savage, it worked... I think) Keep in mind if Lesnar / Angle is last, it would be the first WrestleManaia in ages where Ross didn't call the last match and a first ever for Tazz and Cole. Steve

Bob Ryder seems to have deleted his column that bashed the WWF for having Miss Kitty expose her breasts at Armageddon 99, despite the fact other columns from that time period are available. In what I'm sure is a big coincidence, this comes the day after TNA featured nudity. http://www.1wrestling.com/columns/frombob/...?articleid=3242 - where the column used to be http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22Bob+R....aol.com&rnum=1 - where it sill is. - Steve Gray

I remember he later fixed the Bret Hart thing to have a question mark on it. Really funny. -- I'm the new guy! Read my stuff! Steve
