I had Roger Myers kicking around as an idea. I kept thinking of the line "Except for Flatulent Fox, that was based on a true story".

Ghettoman.

I've also had the whole dashboard lock up on for about 30 seconds on two different occasions.

I have no powers like that.

Yep. one of my alternates too.

My "Big Ones" category is currently in an infinite loop where changing the page just repeats the first 7 GAB matches over and over. It's pretty weird.

As soon as Survivor Series 91 expires, Texas shows up (first December update). This was just preemptive.

I can't wait until avatar microtransactions are in play. 200 points for green hair and a purple suit! The best part about NXE? The notification that SFII HD is released next Wednesday. I'll be hopping aboard that train.

Don't tell Agent but I already secretly banned the dude days ago.

I was trying to think of the logistics of a PPV being set up in just 6 days and how it must have been arranged in advance with the cable companies. I'm wondering if there were any spoilers in ads or what have you. Based on the October 7, 1991 Observer (so let's say as of October 2nd) the PPV was just announced internally. Apparently it was announced as a result of 'out of nowhere' financial problems. Also, because the shows are so closely linked (with this PPV essentially being a $30 ad for a $10 PPV) and 24/7 is nice enough to show them back to back, AND we've already done a lot of This Tuesday in Texas talk, consider this thread a combination of both shows. Edit: Had I kept reading before mentioning it... That price was lowered when it became a 2 hour show, right? Maybe I'm just confused with old TNA PPVs. I emember back in the early 90s we used to get a magazine with a programming guide for The Movie Network and there was always a section advertising upcoming PPVs. That's how I found out Warrior vs. Savage was the SummerSlam 92 main event so I was curious if such a thing happen for this show in 1991, but it looks like Vince had his bases covered. Edit 2: Just read something on Google groups from good ol Herb Kunze, much closer to the event, confirming prices of the era. It also mentioned how the December 6th date (which I didn't even catch) that was originally reported was incorrect.

I suspect it's because I've been playing a lot of SvR 09, but Cole was REALLY sounding like his video game self on Raw, just randomly throwing out information about the people in the ring. The positive to that is it seemed they were trying to give out a lot of history notes about characters and feuds. Taking time to do things like this is a good way to retain new viewers (hint hint, other wrestling company), though with their 2.9 rating it's not like they had any.

Maybe you thought Vince McMahon was Steve Austin.

But there are THREE elimination matches Marv-o. Though it is funny that as much as I love the Survivor Series concept, in the past 3 years I found 2005 and 2007 (with only one elimination match) better than 2006 (with 2 bad ones and 1 that was awesome on paper and was a squash match).

No one answered Psycho Penguin but this was indeed a taped show (taped with Raw last night). So from Matt mentioning Mr. Electricity, I take it they mentioned the late Mr. Electricity Steve Regal?

I liked the . That was nice. I also apparently need to pay better attention to things as I didn't even realize the organization was called Quantum. I think I did hear them say it and ignored it, because I badly wanted the group to be called SPECTRE. I recall M being cut-off as she was about to say the group's name.

Ron Howard was my next pick I was actually planning on picking him in round 7 but that was when I thought I better grab Freddy Quimby.

Congratulations on being born. Nobody does it better. Nobody does it half as good as you.

Guy: Greetings, good men. Might I trouble you for a drink? Moe: Oh, get out of here, Homer. Guy: Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy Incognito. [he gets beaten up and tossed out, unconscious] Homer: [walks up, looks at Guy] [gasps] Oh my God! This man is my exact double. [gasps] Oh my God! That dog has a puffy tail! [he chases it, giggling] Here, Puff! Here, Puff! This was the pick Officer Lou caused me to pick. Lou reminded me of "Uosdwis R. Dewoh", but that's not a real character. Then I realized Guy Incognito is.

You can watch Hulu from the UK?

Hooray extra hours at work. Freddy Quimby CHOW-DAH!

From today's F4W: That probably explains why the match on Raw with Regal was so short. If he ends up on the shelf, what to do with the ECW title? Back to Henry? Jack Swagger?

My Wii did the scary blue light before I left for work tonight. Are they getting the jump on NXE with some exciting new update? Are they reminding me about WiiSpeak vouchers and Wii Tickets? Or something stupid?

I recall reading at one point the whole Netflix movie streaming / movie party deal was for American's only (much the same I often here people talk about downloadable TV shows that just plain don't exist if you're in Canada) but I recently read it's now a "North American" deal. Interesting...

I know the answer because Big Dave answered my e-mail about it, but sadly he did so in a WO.com general feedback column. Those things were archived very poorly (they would pretty much vanish from any findable link on the site after 2 weeks with no real archives to look in) and of course they're all gone now. The name "George Cannon" is coming up a lot and that sounds like the name Meltz gave in his answer. Edit: Found the answer Meltz gave me - it sounds like someone copied the deal over on kayfabememories, then someone on DVR then copied just the response to answer someone else asking the question. "There was a lawsuit many years ago by George Cannon who claimed the name Superstars of Wrestling, so for legal reasons, it was changed to WWF Superstars. I don't know if that's the answer, but it makes sense."
