For the record, I stopped writing because I e-mailed Dames and Will several times about new ideas or ripping off / brining back discontinued concepts (re: Crossface) that no one ever bothered to answer. Not that anyone asked (or probably cared), but that whole lack of communication that had been going on since last summer didn't make me feel much in the mood for writing, so I gave it one more shot with a Year End Review / Rumble PPV preview, as I love doing those types of columns, and left the legacy at that. Sorry about the bump of such an old thread, but I felt like ranting.

Well that should be awesome.

Good stuff. Hey, remember those Booking Report columns from last year that Retro Rob did, where SmackDown always won? HA! Anyway, yeah, when it seemed like HHH had his match next week, I was a bit concerned that they might be making the rumoured HIAC match between HHH and HBK for the title, seeing as how as of right now HHH's WWe Films movie is off and he won't be doing anything until they start filming Conan III. But, it was a swerve, and Benoit can have a nice reign until HHH wins the belt at SummerSlam. And I won't mind, since HHH has been pretty good lately.

Technically, yes, he did use those terms, but he did accuratley answer that, indeed, pappajacks cares.

Ok, this is from Meltzer's Monday update:

A bit of clarification... Sylvain Grenier was discovered by Pat Patterson because he was a male model in Montreal and Patterson is a gay French Canadian (or just French Canadian - zing) who would probably be looking at those sort of people. That's the zenith of their connection, as far as I've read.

My casual fan / markish co-worker is looking forward to the Eugene match more than anything he has in a long time. As it turns out, I am too. I don't understnad calling Tajiri vs Batista a huge match, but the rest of tonight's card sounds great. Tajiri vs Batista I assumed would be a squash, but maybe it won't be. Benjamin vs HHH - Should be good, I look for Benj to become 3-0 after HBK pays HHH back for last week and further set up their Bad Blood match. Orton vs Edge - Edge wins the strap, forming the new and improved Two Man Power Trip with Benoit. Or not, but I think that would be cool (not the TMPT part, but those 2 holding all the belts). Jericho vs. Christian - should be good stuff, hopefully Jericho wins and they move on to new opponents. Although this doesn't make a helluva lot of sense, I could see them having Christian's next feud be over the IC title with Edge (even though he recently declared interest in the World title). Eugene vs Conway - should be interesting.

So, to answer my own question: PS2: • 10 Mega Man games on one disc! • Footage fromthe original Mega Man TV series • Over 30original artwork selections • Remixed music tracks inspired by the series and more! GameCube: • 10 Mega Man games on one disc! • Extensive interview with Mega Man’s creator! • Learn about the History of the Mega Man • Over 30 original artwork selections • Remixed music tracks inspired by the series and more! So, yeah, to me the Cube one sounds better, especially if "Original Mega Man TV series" means the American super fighting robot show and not some rare Japanese anime clips.

Which ever one doesn't have the cartoon but has the history is the one I'll get.

Contract on Raw expired and Angle was quick to pick her up.. or something like that, it's not important really. Why does she always get a push in May? It is to cross promote the yearly Diva videos and magazines no one likes to see her in? I remember last year she was cleanly going over Jazz (I think...) and she was put in a match at Judgment Day. Now it looks like she'll be wrestling this year at the PPV again, probably retaining the title over Chavo.

PWInsider reports the same radio ads that reported HHH vs HBK in a HIAC match are also reporting the main event title bout to be Chris Benoit vs Kane. Let's see what Chris can do with this one (and you'd think Benoit would be put over here again, too, so that's good).

Everyone seems too content to complain (rightfully so) about the CW title to complain about Booker T resurecting Al Wilson.

When the vomit was not properly coming out of the hoses in that one sketch about police awhile back. Most notably, Chris Elliot going to vomit, nothing happening, saying "Oh I guess I'm OK", then vomit coming out of his sleeve (or something very similar).

Anthology of Interest II, Luck of the Fryrish, and Jurassic Bark are all good. The wrestling mark in my enjoys Raging Bender. "I'm not from around here! I have my own customs! Look at my CRAAAZY Passport" The one with the time kips is also quite good. And The Farnsworth Parabox has my favourite line of the series (which sadly I cannot remember). "Good news everyone! (Good news explained). But the real good news is The Bible".

How hard can it be to go hire a bunch of unknown child actors. I don't see what was so special about the original kids that can't be captured again. Yeah, but, you just know that's not what they'll do. "Bad News Bears, starring Billy Bob Thorton, Hillary Duff, Bow'Wow, That stupid kid from JErry McGuire, And etc.!"

Ok, back up a few pages... I think I'm missing something here. Anglesault forced Jeff Hardy to be tested for drugs and therefore got him fired? Eh? This makes no sense.

I'll have my pal ask Joe about it. Apparently Joe is one of the trainers at the wrestling school he goes to, and Joe always has crazy stories about Steve Blackman being a fucking nut to share with everyone.

"Tanner Boyle: All we got on this team are a buncha Jews, spics, niggers, pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron!" Huzzah for IMDB.com and the Memorable Quotes section.

Having watched Goldberg vs Lesnar this morning, I'm confident my good pal spman is deaf. Yeah, "Boring" chants did get removed (but Lawler saying "That move wasn't boring!" and Jim Ross talking about impatient fans wasn't), but most everything seemed on par, perhaps a bit muffled and not as loud, but "This Match Sucks" and the rest are all still clearly there.

I remember seeing some episodes of The New Class where it seemed Belding and Screech were mall managers during the Summer, and the only employees of the mall were the SBTB 6, whoever they were during that era. Seemed a bit too convenient they'd all get the same summer job.

Ontario, Canada. It didn't used to be that much (it was just under the $10 mark for a non Tuesday, non matinee viewing), but it recently rose. Then we have our lovely 15% sales tax to add to the movie ticket cost, and bam, $11.25. Again, that's only at the two multiplexes in this city, and if you chose to go at night instead of an afternoon showing. There are cheaper theatres, but they're not as nice.

To give another example on a lesser scale, I paid $11.25 to see Kill Bill Volume 2 the day it opened at a big super-theatre, but in 4 months I could have rented it from the local video store for about $5. It's all about seeing something when it's fresh and new.

Ah yes, the Chris Benoit vs Doink Dinsmore match from the SmackDown after Vengeance. Happier times for SmackDown back then. The 2 weeks thing is just to announce matches, then have them take place during the month of May (sweeps). Yes, Eugene's debut in the ring is sweepsworthy. According to EWR, Rob Conway vs Eugene should result in a *****, 100% Match Quality bout. Time will tell.

I fail to see a problem here. The extras were announced well in advance, and if you thought those 10 matches were going to just be on the DVD in full when one of them is an hour, and a DVD should only be holding 3 hours of video, you're a moron. I'll I'm interested in is condensed versions of the matches with comments from others. If I wanted to watch the 10 Grestest Matches in full, I'd stick in whichever of the corresponding 19 other WM's it was on into the VCR or DVD player.

For now, it seems they're just releasing a Four Horsemen DVD to capitalize on the sucess. I'm sure a Volume 2 just for Flair will come eventually, though.
