2008 Venkman Fact: I came up with the Overseas and Independents sub-title ("Little. Yellow. Different") while watching Wayne's World during a Maff Chat. That's worth a chuckle or two, right? I'm sure Inc did something to make y'all laugh in 2003, but this is POTY 2009. On a mountain of skulls, in a castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil! Keep the votes coming, people.

Thank you for the Garbage Day reference. It may look like mellow's, but that's actually my sub-title. Hooray! Val Venis vs. Matt Hardy - Backlash 2004 pre-show match. This was pretty awesome and better than some of the stuff on the PPV.

Polkaroo was here and I missed him again?

It was used as an intentionally lame line on a bit on Conan the other night. I felt I had to work it into TSM as it made me laugh.

It's all good.

It seems to me that we put this at the top o the board because folks like cabbageboy weren't aware of it last year and felt they had a chance of going far. Well, now it's here, and cabbageboy isn't even voting! Come on now.

The best part is you said it one post down from saying you JUST picked up the IC title DVD.

I picked up this DVD a few weeks ago, I enjoyed the hell of it. The fact it was just so crazy and it really looked like the host and probably the producers were getting upset that they weren't getting a shoot dvd like they expected. Scroby, what the HELL are you talking about?

It sounds like if you think it's not a good one, people should know who it is. I didn't go around telling people KANESRULESFAN was SJK's friend from another board just because I didn't like him. This is not to say I was happy with C&PB, but it was a short term one note gimmick which I intended to reveal was me on my own during or just after round 4 of the tournament. Gimmicks are supposed to keep people guessing if they're used under legal board parameters (this sections only, and the Poster Tournament used to be hosted here).

He relinquished the title once, in 06. That was also the last time he was injured, he's been healthy from GAB 06 until Armageddon. If WWE is in a money crunch, why would they do something that'd be a bad business decision and cut one of their biggest draws? I think it has to be pointed out that in this thread, this is not the dumbest idea suggested (see: "Cut everyone and cancel SmackDown and ECW").

Me - I'm me. Slayer - A testament to both men that they could coast on their legacies to make it this far for a year they weren't really here (but when they were here, they were good). I suspect I might regret this, but I really want a rematch from my first POTY tournament where Slayer destroyed me in Round 1. Kinetic - The Canadian Pact no longer applies this late in the game (though it still does for other Canadians who are voting but aren't in the game anymore). mellow - Keep up the good work. Kay Oh Aye Bee - Wow, I thought Matt.com would fair better than that, but Smues is great people too. We're all great people at this point! I feel as though I have to give the nod to KOAB though. Tough call. Most of them are now. Kamala - I don't dig the "Loser Leaves the Board" ultimatums and that almost cost him my vote, but I'm still backing the guy. treble - I went back and forth on this one but ultimately ended up here. Why? 30 Rock. VX - A lot of people are saying this is Kinetic's year, but if it were to be a VX / Kinetic finals, I think there's a good chance Leo could run with it.

Ha, Matt Young reference. When casting your vote in the first tournament match up, keep the following things in mind: - Previous POTY Black Lushus approves me winning - Current favourite Kinetic approves me winning - Inc is actually responsible for the 2007/2008 Writer's Strike dragging out so long. He also cancelled all of your favourite TV shows. You know the ones. Keep up the well thought out votes, TSM!

I do get a kick out of Mo's 2 seconds.

They're undoubtedly future Hall of Famers though.

A notable thing about the 95 Rumble: It began the character trait of "Jerry Lawler: Wrestling Historian" where he spouts facts and figures (noting Razor won the IC title at SummerSlam thanks to Walter Payton, various Rumble stats) which lasted all the way to WrestleMania 11. I think it ended after that PPV.

Hey they got something right!

The episode of The Simpsons where Homer bowls a 300 game. He lies to Marge by saying Lenny is ill. Marge tells the kids, they respond with "NOT LENNY!".

I highly recommend all communique with Floridan cease and we just continue on with making jokes about Tim White suicide videos and what not. How about that Val Venis, eh?

R-Truth and Cryme Tyme and other popular midcarders with good characters can sell shirts and necklaces and other trinkets to kids. That's what I meant by marketable. That's the last I'll say on it though since this is almost becoming "Is John Cena actually over?" Part 2.

Plus we will have never found out what Cryme Time did with him! WWE.com Exclusive! He gave them money.

Floridian Cool I see you preparing a response, but be aware I've already labelled you a WWE Folder nutbar. "I want WWE to cut all these people and cancel SD / ECW. I also haven't watched Raw in 1.5 years and it's been awful for 10 years". What is your goal here?

Arrested Development told a good story, where I did end up caring about the characters and the story. 30 Rock wastes time with the Floyd-Liz relationship, and the who runs GE plotline, which took up so much time the last few seasons. 30 Rock tries too hard to be this AD type comedy and it just fails flat. Often times their attempts at joke flinging fall flat and you're left with an episode that tries to do much and ends up accomplishing nothing. Earl was awful, since it changed the basic premise. No one wants to see Earl in a coma, they want to see wacky situations where he does karma. I think the Office does a great job in that even the episodes that aren't laugh out loud funny, you still care about Jam and what happens next. The Office works on a dramatic level as well as a comed. 30 Rock was at its best in the first season before it got overwhelmed trying too much and having pointless cameos I think season 2 of 30 Rock had one of the funniest moments on TV in 2008 - the Jack / Tracy therapy session. The Floyd storyline led to TV time for Jason Sudekis (good) and a Peter Venkman / Ghostbusters reference (awesome).

You're straight trippin. Alot of potential on that list you're releasing. A lot of potential revenue too. Why the hell would WWE purposely release marketable talent with the express purpose of cancelling two TV shows which they earn TV licencing rights on? Are you insane?

I swear I thought Kevin Thorn was released 6 months ago. I will be legitimately sad if this is the end for Duggan. I know people are always calling for the old man's release... but come on, Sad Jim Duggan!
