bob_barron is friend to all, though.

Well it is true we are all online persona gimmicks in one way or another. Do you think Bob Barron is really a short Jew who begs on the streets of NYC for autographs? Hell no, he's 6'2" telecommunications expert for AT&T. He's never once stepped foot in the big apple.

Did you do a Mania Marathon or something? I reserve those for February/March. Outdoor events look great (this is why I actually enjoy Mania IX) but there is too much bad potential for WWE to run them often. Then again, they took the chance their biggest show of the year would run outdoors without a hitch - twice - so I guess they figure with all their safeguards it's cool rain or shine.

I must make a complaint off the bat though. I ran Santino through a KOTR tournament just to see the zany ceremony at the end, but it's been cut out. That was hands down the best part of 2008 - watching Umaga or Khali (basically anyone you want to make look out of character and silly) bebop around in a crown and robe while a diva acted as his queen.

Why are you even treating him seriously?

Saying "Untrue" was biting satire on my part (though I once saw a listing for the program calling it that).

Well she looks ok in pictures.

The fact he's added double posting to his character traits makes him that much more annoying. However, his line in the Box Office totals about "The Obama Factor" made me laugh.

Hey al, can you mod it up and do the update for CG now that we're into round 3 and Rando is OTC?

Plus his new kids (though he's only the father of the one who can't adlib and the one who can't do something else I forget) introduced in "Yokel Chords": Whitney, Jitney, Dubya, Incest, Crystal Meth, International Harvester, and Birthday

Never for PS3. Well, maybe sometime, heh. I read somewhere (IGN?) that it was slated "before the holidays". Also, holy shit, Highlight Reel IS SO AWESOME. It's so much fun, the best addition they've ever made. It creates community, which is awesome, and I was laughing my ass off trying to do silly things. I don't know how it easy it is to find recently uploaded videos (there's no search, so I just have to trust it's in the latest 200 I guess) but look up "Super Santino". It's a video I made when I realized how hilarious Mark Henry's face was when I stole the World's Strongest Slam. This is the first SD I've played on the 360 first and damn does it look pretty in HD.

Not only is it the only one in Blue-Ray, it's the only one to be enhanced for 16:9 TVs. I don't know why they just don't release all their PPVs in that format.

Hotwire has helped me stay at same very nice and expensive digs for low prices.

One time we went past 130th, but there were a lot of crumbled bricks, graffiti, and stores with names like "El Storeo Del Convenienco". We stuck to Central Park as the travelling limit after that.

It's a rare day when have to say "cabbageboy is correct", but yeah, the special makes it sound like Hogan won the belt from Andre. I think Hogan only uses the term "passed the torch" but Steve Allen on narration runs with it. It's also implied Andre may not have wanted to do the job, but in the end he was a professional.

Rando is now on the clock and it is JJ's turn.

Are the ring announcers and commentators still retarded (ie introducing the wrong people, randomly discussing other wrestlers, mis-calling finishers?) or has that been fixed?

Yeah, that theme is great. Whenever it manages to stay on 24/7, I love it.

The Hogan THS airs in Canada on Wednesday. I am pumped for what they say on that.

Psycho Penguin Qu'est-ce que c'est? fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better Run run run run run away (Seriously though, don't).

The photos Dwight was showing Andy and Angela had a nice callback reference (the bride and groom were standing in graves).

I assumed I'd have the Bret Hart option at any time, so to see he's a round 2 pick is a bit of a surprise. I'm pulling out a wild card in round 3. Why I thought - on a board founded by wrestling - Bret Hart would be an open pick I don't know.

I don't follow fully, but this is all magic to me anyway.

Ric Flair coined The Franchise and The Dragon?

Man, where did they pull that 25 million unique viewers a week total from? Did Hulk Hogan provide stats for these people? That's a huge number even for 1998.
