They're doing that match in South Korea, too. Another interesting one from Satima Japan is Taker/Kane/Mysterio vs Edge/Angle/Eddie. While this is off topic, the South Korea and two Satima house shows look pretty good (the 2nd Satima show is even has a match marketed as "WRESTLEMANIA 19 REMATCH!" - HBK vs Jericho).

Yeah, in one commentary (I forget the episode but I believe it was on the 3rd disc) Rogan makes mention that Fear Factor is the equivalent of wasting time until you get your cheque. Dave Foley was clearly the star of these commentaries and very enjoyable to listen to. I was cracking up when they were discussing character catchphrases and he figured his was "Matthew!" "Joe!" and repeated it a few more times.

According to the reviewer whose name must not be spoken, the DVD was seen available in a HMV store in Edmonton.

According to the WM21 Battle Royal, Booker T won the challenge on April 3rd, 2005.

That's what I thought too but nobody else said anything off the bat so I just kept my mouth shut or whatever you would label the finger to keyboard equivalent of keeping a mouth shut... keeping your fingers locked?

What the hell is SMDN? Saturday's Main Dynamic eveNt? Please don't respond to this and say it means SmackDown as I am well aware... it's just perhaps the worst abbreviation for the show I've ever seen and the fact it shares 3 of SNME's letters makes it worse.

The idea of it being possible for the bWo confronting Bischoff's Army at some point to announce "We're Takin Over!" has me intrigued. Admittedly I was never a big ECW fan in it's day and have become more of a fan after it's death so the idea of Eric Bischoff invading the show (assuming he's dealt with) isn't something that I find sacreligious and pisses me off like it does many others. My only concern is that while I can easily see Hollywood Nova taking out Maven, I can't see someone taking out guys like Snitsky or General Edge without WWE having to swallow some pride.

I've been reminded of one of my favourite lines that I forgot over time... Dave: "Wait a minute, Joe. If what you're saying is true, then... I still don't care" I must remember to alter that line to remove "Joe" and use it where appropriate in life. Also there seems to be some controversy over the added episode, "Injury", where there existed an unedited version that people saw on A&E with additional usage of the word "penis" at the end of the episode but the version on the DVD is the standard "edited" version that eventually made its way onto NBC after much headache.

I can't stand GameFAQs "e-mail login". If that's the way the future is heading I won't fight it but if the choice of a username still exists then let it be.

The JR/Sid one is on the WWE Funniest Moments release which I'm sure was ripped to the net at some point. Not so much a flubbed line but Randy Orton fell off the turnbuckles while cutting a promo at Bad Blood 2004 and ended up laughing about it on camera. Orton seemed to be fumbling over what to say next when doing a promo with Edge earlier this year though I don't remember the context of it at all. I believe it was the promo that had Edge refer to Orton as a failure. I have no idea what to make of Bulldog's "I'll win the Rumble because I'm BIZAAARRE" promo. Did he mean to say something else?

Dave Nelson's (D. Foley) transformation from Wisconsin / Canadian youngster trying to have a go in big New York City as a news director while having some difficulty with his staff to totally pissed off "I can't stand these people" news director with grey hair starting to appear is a pretty damn awesome 5 year character arc.

I've been getting "Error 500" or something along those lines all weekend whenever I try to finish up the month of May. Whenever I try to watch something from June it loads up the WWE.com front page but for now I assume that's because it's not officially posted.

Biggest gripe - no English sub-titles. Basically, when I watch Simpsons or Futurama on DVD, I like having the hilarious commentary running while sub-titles detail the plot and jokes to me. With this set, I can't really hear any show audio while the commentary track is on and the only sub-tilte option is Portugese. That's pretty weird. However that just means most future viewings will be commentary free and it won't matter... glad I have this, looking forward to Seasons 3 and 4, whenever that may be.

I keep forgetting to mention how cool I thought beginning the opening crawl with the sentence "War!" was. That says it all.

I appreciate that, thanks. What I was refering to was Dames asked me to come aboard, and I did, and what was supposed to be 1-2 columns a month turned into I think 6 or 7 in what has now been 2 years. Mike - cool... I wasn't being totally serious with my complaint, I just wanted something to say, but it's cool that everything is still a go.

I don't like all this fighting and it makes me think my $10 contribution will go uncredited (and it's all about the recognition page when the $165 is fully donated, baby!) since it was Mike's idea and now he's nothing, though I suppose this was a bit more. However Dames gets credit from me for making me care about the board by bringing me on as a columnist (which probably didn't work out as well as either of us had hoped but that happens) and this was probably much better than waiting and saying "Thanks for raising $165 Mike, no get the hell out"

Anytime I've had a problem with something I talked to one of WWE.com's live support team and the problem seemed to fix itself without me having to do anything but tell him/her what was happening.

I'm glad the blindfold was mentioned otherwise I would have assumed this was just the clip I watched 2 years ago and moved along (especially since I, like the others, thought this was about a new game)

Interesting... I had read that the Vader unmasking in ROTJ was totally redone with Hayden but that site says all they did was CGI Sebastian Shaw's face to change his eye colour and remove eyebrows.

I was going to change my custom title to a NewsRadio quote because I totally forgot it already is one. Amazon shipped it yesterday so hopefully by the week's end but I'm not holding my breath... last year most orders arrived 2 days after shipping but lately it's been taking a week or more. We'll see... it's shipping with Seinfeld Season 4!

Opening space battle

I'm also assuming an ECW Invasion tonight... led by Bret Hart.

Huh? The girl in the M-Azing commercials? not to threadjack, but how young is that girl? I had a big-ass debate with a friend of mine about that girl being old enough to leer at ... he said yes, and I said no. Most people are saying 10 years old... good lord, I can't even believe this is being discussed. Poor kids coming out to be Heidenreich's friend are going to be talked about for years by the internet fans now.

Hey one of them works in TNA! I had no idea who the other two were or why I was even near any of these people (I guess they're just people too) but apparently the "name" one was getting one of the other guys a gig with Burt Prentince. I also can't believe someone wrote feedback to Meltzer commenting on the little girl's chances of growing up to be hot.

I think Meltzer calling the main event "what will go down in history as the best match of either man's career" is a bit out there but I did enjoy it. Of note, while watching the PPV some indy wrestlers joined our table at the bar and had many unkind things to say about the match so maybe while the rest of the world loves it my opinion was brought down by listening to the people around me at bar.
