5: Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape -- Charlton Heston

4: Luck is for Losers -- CM Punk

This isn't just for today, this thread can be an ongoing thread where you talk about something great that happened to you today.

I met a new young lady today

3: "Chris Jericho's final WCW match was 7/21 in Peoria, IL in a tag match teaming with Eddie against Kidman and Mysterio. Before the match, Jericho said that if he got pinned he'd leave WCW. Misterio than said everyone already knew it was his last night in WCW. (After the match) all four hugged in the ring. There were fans in near tears, as was Jericho. Kidman started a Jericho chant. Jericho said that he was overwhelmed by the response, but he still thinks that Peoria sucks" -- The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

2: "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." -- Kristian Wilson

1: "You (Dean Malenko) exemplify exactly what a Horseman has always meant -- over-achievement. Being the very best you could be, each and every day of your life, whether you were sick, or hurt, or whatever the case may be. And it makes me proud. Now, and I'm going to say it one more time. I said, that you didn't get it -- well, I didn't get it. Because if there was ever a Horseman, it makes me a little misty eyed, and real proud to call you this day ... The finest thing I can call you this day -- that's a Horseman." -- Arn Anderson

Here in England. Friday nights on Bravo. Apparently Mick Foley hosts it. Do you guys over the pond have this too?

Tonight is simply called 'Hardcore Wars Part 1'

Yes. The tag-team main event is great. As you'd expect from those four workers. Dolph is entertaining again, and Rey Mysterio and Kane put on something half-decent. Teddy Long continues to tread water with tweenerland, with the way he talks down to CM Punk.

The main event is hilarious Matt. It ends with .

My thighs are pretty clean, not much hair there. They're not for eating, regrettably.

Arena is 95% full. Lots of Jeff Hardy merchandise everywhere. R-Truth was being filmed outside doing a gimmick described as something like the TV show Punk'd Dark match Drew McIntyre b Jimmy Wang Yang ECW Nikki Bella b Katie Lea Burchill. Apparently the Bellas aren't feuding after last night's show, as Brie came from under the ring to win the match for Nikki in a switch Shelton Benjamin b Yoshi Tatsu 10:00 crowd cheered both men Ezekiel Jackson is back, beating a local guy Abraham Washington show with Tommy Dreamer as guest. They each were doing comedy. Dreamer mentioned Eddie Guerrero's name to get a pop. Big pop as well. Bad Vlad came out and they did a staredown. But all for naught. A match to determine who faces Dreamer for the title at Night of Champions saw Christian pin Kozlov Superstars Zach Ryder b Tyler Reks. Long match. Crowd crapped on it but there were people chanting "Woo Woo Woo" for Ryder R-Truth b Ricky Ortiz Smackdown Before the show starts they are airing a video tape highlight package from last night's show in Fresno so the live fans will be up to speed. Kane b Jeff Hardy Dolph Ziggler b John Morrison Melina & Eve Torres b Michelle McCool & Layla Punk did an interview and made fun of the fact Jeff is one drug test failure away from being fired Punk NC Khali when Kane ran in. Punk was booed like he was Buddy Rogers Hart Dynasty b Cryme Tyme Rey Mysterio b Chris Jericho to keep the IC title. Long awesome match. Edge and Ziggler attacked Mysterio after the match. Focus post-match was Mysterio vs. Ziggler so that's probaby the IC title match on the PPV. Mysterio over like Austin at his peak.

There's been some rumours for some time that Edge will be having a face turn soon, possible later rather than sooner, of course. His break-up with Jericho and ensuing feud would be a great spark for a positive turn, and then a face Edge chasing a heel Punk would certainly be very fresh.

Santino.. Easily amused by his own antics. It's a shame Kendrick's going nowhere. Remember that time he was WWE Champion for 10 minutes during the Scramble? No, me neither. but it happened, I swear.

I've made 10,000 posts to this site. This isn't a joyous moment.

Likelihood of me posting 10,000 more times? Not likely.

Actually, Orton hasn't had much talking time. I didn't realise it until you mentioned it there, but this HHH/Orton fued since HHH came back again has actually been more actions than words.

Fuck@Bolded text. I can't wait to watch.

Here's some better spoilers: From PWtorch: - They showed the end of the Hardy/Punk match at the Bash, and then Jeff came out to a huge pop with lots of little girls and kids going bonkers. He was sporting an eye patch when he came out. He cut a short promo about his eye injury being about as realistic as Punk's eye injury. (1) Kane beat Jeff Hardy in 7:00. Hardy began to comeback from the Kane beating when Punk's music hit and the Champ came out onto the stage. Hardy was distracted and was caught with a chokeslam. (2) Dolph Ziggler beat John Morrison in 8:00 in the surprise of the night (for me at least). Prior to the match, Morrison is shown backstage talking to Teddy Long about going kareoking with him in the future. Morrison reminded Long that he has challenged the winner of the Hardy-Punk match at Night of Champions for a title shot, which Long confirmed. Ziggler wins with a roll-up (pulling the tights) after a fantastic counter-sequence with Morrison. I think that Ziggler has some real, serious potential as a heel. People were all over him during his entrance and during the match. Morrison was pretty well liked by the crowd. (3) Melina & Eve Torres beat Women's champion Michelle McCool & Layla when Melina pinned Layla in about 5:00. Standard Divas tag match with a great pull-apart brawl between Melina and McCool at the end of the match, good heat for McCool in this segment. Lots of "Where's the Undertaker?" comments directed to McCool from my section. - Jeff Hardy comes out to commentate on the Punk-Khali match. Punk came out and gave the promo that many people have been waiting for from him. Here's my best recollection of it, said as Punk is in the ring looking at Hardy, who is sitting next to JR: "Are you happy Jeff? You come out earlier wearing an eye patch mocking me? I could have been seriously injured because of you! You see this right here? This is Dyhydroxy Sulfate -- I have to put it in my eye three times a day. It's the only foreign substance I'll allow in my body. Now Jeff, I know you know a lot about prescription medication but, see, to get this legally you have to get it from a doctor. If you want to be like me, with your little eyepatch, instead of doing that, why don't you try living a clean lifestyle, a straight edge lifestyle? Jeff, you have two strikes, do you know how many I have? ZERO. Do you know how many times I've been suspended Jeff? ZERO. Do you know how many times I've been to a rehab facility in my life? ZERO. Do you know what your chances are for beating me at Night of Champions Jeff? ZERO" (4) World Hvt. champion C.M. Punk beat Khali by DQ when Kane interrupted with a chair and trades shots with Khali. (5) Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & D.H. Smith) beat Cryme Time (Shad Gaspar & JTG) in 6:00 with a Hart-Attack/Total Elimination hybrid-type move (Kidd with the sweep, Smith with the clothesline). Hart Dynasty had good heel heat, can't wait to watch their development on Smackdown. (6) IC champion Rey Mysterio beat Chris Jericho in 15:00. Rey Mysterio got an insane pop, louder than the one's I've heard for Cena and Austin during previous visits to Bakersfield. Mysterio was clearly the star of the show and the one that the majority of the crowd was there to see. Great things in this match like you would suspect with these two. Chris Jericho is the best at what he does. Edge and Ziggler attacked Mysterio after the match to massive, massive heat.

According to TMZ.com, WWE Hall of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper was arrested on suspicion of DUI early this morning in Hollywood, California. Piper, whose real name is Roderick Toombs, was stopped by police at around 1:00 a.m. and given field sobriety tests. He was then arrested. His bond was set at $5,000.

Yoshi doesn't really stand out to me. I was turned off immediately when he came out to generic Japanese music. Seriously, why throw ALL Japanese guys under the same 'oriental' type music?

I know they are nowhere near the top, but i'll always have a soft spot for Flair, Arn, Benoit & Malenko. Just because when I started watching WCW in the later 90's, I had never even heard of the Horsemen up til then.

I thought the non-survivors would be the winners.
