Ugh. I really, really hope that this is all just them fucking with people, as completely unlikely as it is at this point. Because for me at this point it's overkill and it means they wasted the silent clock on Edgar all for a swerve.

I'm aware of what he was talking about, but I think it's just kind of funny to say that he doesn't know how to cut a style of promo that he HAD cut in RoH.

Well, I mean, if you go by CONTEXT you can justify Christian over Dusty (because Dusty, whilst a bigger name back in the day, isn't particularly a draw anymore, is he?), or even Eddie (since 2002 is still a couple years before Eddie won the world title), and if you limit it to solely the United States you can eliminate Mutoh and Kobashi, but I can't think of a single way Christian outclasses Foley.

Then what was his WrestleRave '03 promo?

I really don't think Christian's a bigger name than Mick Foley was.

Because he narrated the movie, I guess. Who knows.

I hope someone comments on that eventually. It's really irritating.

My favorite part was Creed giving a shoutout in Chinese. Creed is slowly but surely becoming my favorite minor character on The Office.

1. Holy crap, I should know this. 2. ... this one too. 3. Rob Conway 4. Christian's AWESOME original theme post turning on Edge. Can you please send this to me? 5. Dunno. 6. Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire 7. Man, I'm screwing up this time around. 8. I really, really am. 9. Owen Hart. Owen had the best track record with themes ever. 10. Bret Hart 11. Hardcore Holly/Crash Holly 12. ???

Anyone want to take a stab as to who this 'unnamed wrestler' could be? Mikey, Johnny, Nick, Mitch, or Kenny. I could totally buy it being Johnny Jeter. My first thought was Johnny or Ken. I thought of Ken first since he's been around wrestling for like 6 years already. I have no idea how long Jeter has been in wrestling. Nobody else has been called up lately with a crap gimmick except them and if you want to count it the Boogeyman, but he is null and void considering he decided the gimmick was worth "corrective" surgery. Ken Doane's been in wrestling for six years? Isn't he still nineteen?

1. Akio/Kyo Dai in General 2. No fucking clue. 3. No fucking clue. 4. ... yup, no clue. 5. Shannon Moore circa MFer period 6. Still no clue. 7. Rhyno, wasn't it? 8. Christy Hemme, of course. 9. AJ Styles 10. Jeff Jarrett 11. If I had to guess, Steven Regal. 12. ... Mordecai? 13. Jake Roberts 14. nWo Wolfpac 15. Owen Hart 16. What sounds like an NES game's soundtrack but actually turns out to be Brian Pillman's theme. 17. Theme from Walker: Texas Ranger. Wait, shit, the Horsemen? Seriously? I need to watch more WCW tapes. 18. The Radicalz 19. Ken Shamrock 20. The motherfucking Sandman

Those would be the Florida Brothers. They originally called themselves Iwasa Gundan in 2004 and their gimmick, more or less, was that they were complete losers who couldn't beat even the weakest of Toryumon's wrestlers (the one, the only Stalker Ichikawa). So they went on "overseas warrior training" which turned out to be set in Florida, and when they returned they had dyed their hair blonde, changed their first names to Michael and Daniel, and revealed their new strategy that they learned in Florida; tricking the referee into thinking that their opponent has done something dastardly enough to justify a DQ finish. They also speak with sort of exaggerated American accents where they put emphasis' on the wrong syllables in words sometimes and throw in English randomly. Other members of the Florida Brothers' entourage include their perennially unlucky masked sidekicks, Johnson and Jackson Florida (both of whom are in the battle royale), and Kensuke Sasaki, who shows up in Dragon Gate once every few months to team with the Brothers. Also, here's the full battle royale via YouTube.

Words cannot describe how excited I am for the Gervais/Merchant episode of American Office.

Wellp, Lucharesufan got Johnny Grunge, so I guess he's in the lead thusfar.

"I kiss my frog in your honor."

Nice to see Snapper Carr getting his obligatory once-every four years appearance in the DCU.

Regarding Thrasher masterminding GTV; this should be false. The only thing Thrasher did along the lines of GTV was exposing Marianna to be faking Chaz being abusive towards her on Sunday Night Heat in something like September 1999, leading to a Headbangers reunion where they beat Chris Jericho and Curtis Hughes one night and then never won a match as a team ever again.

Please stop making threads, for the love of god.

I'm going to guess that it's Paul London and they'll do London vs. Strong with Strong going over after twenty minutes. That would be great.

Ok, possible bad choice of words. But I think anyone who goes after HHH is wasting their time. Criticise Creative if you want, criticise Vince (for giving him a job in the first place, i suppose), but criticising HHH? For what? Hunter is on creative. He has control of his own programs and is one of the most powerful people in WWE, probably only behind Vince. If you believe that sort of thing. And besides, if if he did have political power (again, I doubt it) - why would HHH care about the Dudley's - a MID-CARD pseudo nostalgia act that'd been reduced to a series of idiot spots in crappy matches against better teams. When the brand extension started they split the Dudleys up, putting Bubba Ray on Raw and D-Von on Smackdown (with a new gimmick, Reverend D-Von). In the middle of 2002 right when his singles push was starting to take to the fans, Bubba Ray was placed in a mini-feud of sorts with HHH. They would verbally snipe each other backstage here and there, to the point where it finally culminated into a physical confrontation on a Raw right after HHH was awarded the new World Heavyweight Title by Eric Bischoff, where Bubba Ray damn near killed HHH powerbombing him through a table (he lost his leverage and HHH went through the side of the table, almost impaling him). The next week, HHH promptly squashed Bubba Ray in a World Title match in about 6 minutes that thoroughly killed his singles push to the point they had to ship D-Von, who was doing well breaking out on his own on Smackdown, to Raw. That's probably where all this bitterness for HHH from Bubba Ray comes in. I doubt D-Von would have any strong words about HHH like that, unless he feels sympathetic for Bubba Ray and all the other people who were victims of HHH's political power. I don't remember their single pushes going over well with anyone. In fact, I think I may well have been the only person on the planet who LIKED the Reverend D-Von push (if just because he had a catchy theme).

You've never heard of Col. DeBeers, have you?

Van Helsing. It's so stupid that it's beautiful. I mean, likes like "You can go when I say you can go and I say you can go WHEN YOU'RE DEAD." are just lovely.

I actually thought I knew who he was until I saw a picture of him and realized that I had confused him with Stellan Skarsgard. And I agree that actors should be held to higher standards as host than sports figures, but I just sort of got tired of watching Gretzky play himself or a hockey player in every sketch he was in.
