Anonymous people on the internet shouldn't need to defend their opinions.

I liked how the market for Saw V implied it was a franchise finale yet there's a TV show on about casting females for Saw VI. Ah, horror franchises.

I didn't think the business model of making every show count and put out on DVD was a good business model, but I guess it worked for awhile. I basically had to stop following it closely just as quickly as I started once I realized this (and yes, I'm aware of there are alternative methods of watching these shows without buying a DVD, but that's not my thing). I had a blast at the Steelcage Warfare show in December 2005 in NYC though!

"Superstars of Wrestling" as a trademark belongs to someone else. I don't recall who. It's the reason the show was changed to just "Superstars" by 1992 or so.

On live shows, you don't know anything for sure until the 3 count. Undertaker/Edge was an awesome match at Mania XXIV and I really bought into some of Edge's nearfalls even though it was pretty obvious Taker would win. And don't forget about how HHH was "obvioulsy" going to beat Cena at Mania 22, then again at Mania XXIV. Things change.

I don't see why it would effect any of the Hart matches on that DVD, but they do have to blur the "Superstars of Wrestling" banners for trademark reasons.

Scream (the horror network in Canada) was showing Nightmare 4, 5, and 6 the other day (I guess showing the good ones - 1 and 3 - was not an option, but they were running New Nightmare a lot). Odd note about the digital guide description for "Freddy's Dead" - it actually lists the title as NOES 6 and notes in the synopsis "Formerly known as Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare". I didn't realize it was FORMERLY known as that. Perhaps I should be on the look out for New Nightmare being called "NOES 7 - Formerly known as New Nightmare".

I got nothing, but I did enjoy this wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Stumpp I particularly like how his execution was done in a manner that was sure to keep him from "returning from the grave".

All this talk of US Smarties, Rockets, Candy Corn and Wafers sounds like a 2008 rerun of "Bad Candy". It's fun stuff though, so carry on. Worst Halloween Candy: Bible verses, Unicef pennies, and raisens.

Tito Santana was a guy I was never very interested in watching. I briefly got into the whole El Matador deal, but quickly realized he was still going to lose against any real opponent and therefore didn't really like his matches. Actually, I think El Matador made Tito MORE interesting to me - whenever I rented tapes that had the "old" Tito on them, I didn't care at all. Now I LOVE seeing his old matches on 24/7.

Spin-off topic! I imagine a lot of answers will be about heel wrestlers we just didn't like as kids, but I will say when I was 11 I could not stand Dustin Rhodes in 1992 WCW. Seeing some of that stuff again, he seemed to be in some pretty good tag matches but I was pretty damn happy when Windham turned on him.

There seems to be some debate on that. Bryan Alvarez always says "Tonky", but I've been hearing it as Donkey since week 1 of the Honk-A-Meter. I've seen crowd signs that agree with the "Donkey" train of thought. Alvarez also had what seemed like a 10 minute argument with Vinny over whether or not his notes were wrong or they called Jack Swagger "Jake" in his first ECW appearance, plus he always says "Night of THE Champions", so I take both of those into account when calling him wrong.

I'm getting a much faster computer in a few weeks. I'm hoping this solves some of the slowdown issues I have with the videos (they seem to run fine on a brand new laptop on the same internet connection but I don't find that terribly convenient).

I believe you mean Rodney the Piper, Goldendust, and the Honky Donkey Man.

Does he pimp any excercise equipment in it?

At least if that WAS true (and like MillenniumMan said, I don't think it is) WCW would have been using him for SOMETHING. As it is, they were just paying him 6 figure to not do a lick of work. I hope these people from the late 90s boom saved their money.

Finlay/Hornswoggle vs. Miz/Morrison still stands up as an enjoyable tag match. I thought I might have just liked it watching it live since it was the opener, but I enjoyed it here too. This show also has the Adamle classic, "Right in front of our broadcast... thing".

Finally bought a Classic Controller yesterday. Makes my VC playing much easier!

JBL as Vince?

Perhaps they can change Khali's angle where's a great entertainer into him being a great superstar.

I enjoyed the "NO MORE AC-CENT" chants beforehand.

I have my doubts we'll ever get Spike HD in Canada so Impact being in HD really amounts to nothing for me, but based on that episode, it looks like the move to HD caused them to remove those ugly graphics they insisted on annoying me with just for someone entering the ring. What is this, No Mercy for Nintendo 64? Good riddence. Commissioner Foley Round... 3 (4?), I guess. That's going to shake things up in TNA.

I did consider that, but Michael did ask Jim to host them in Branch Wars when the copier fell on him. Really though, another episode about them would be kind of a waste of time, both in-universe for the documentary crew and for the viewer. Clips or references to annual ceremonies would be great, though.

I really enjoyed last night's episode. Ryan hiding, Stanley's expression at the "like the old days" comment - great moments. The biggest laugh I had was Dwight talking to Phyillis about his problems, then loudly announcing "I was talking to myself, not you!" when she speaks up. Unrealted, what do you suppose the in-universe (and I almost said "kayfabe" but I know not everyone is down with that) explanation for no Dundies based episodes since 2005 is? I would assume the crew just didn't feel the need to produce something about the ceremony again. I know these seems like a rather random question but I've been marathoning DVDs. Time to put in Season 3, disc 1.

I bring up the Rated R Superstar name, nothing. Japanese Popstar God brings it up and he gets all these replies about it. See you all in Hell.
