Kick out from the swandive. Anybody get pinned by that anymore?

Telegraphed kick out.

Climb up the inside cell wall, elbow drop from it.

there hasn't ever been a big bump inside the cell.

Benoit/Booker part 4

MNM with the win.

Bet Hardy's glad he resigned w/ the WWE.

Damn, I haven't got a working stream yet.

Funaki loses to Noble.

It was clearly only like 5 people, but still.

Funaki/Noble will main event Heat.

So, I think this should be the OaO thread, Heat has begun. There was a problem, and now it started again. There were small TNA chants. Seriously.

Tazz. He comes out at the Rumble and chokes out the undefeated, Kurt Angle. Down to nothing. Over as hell, good wrestler, could have been WWF Champion by the end of the year and seen as legit. Instead he fueded with Jerry Lawler. Hell, they could still push him.

Putting the title on Arquette wasn't that BAD. I mean it's better than the WWE putting the title on Hogan at whatever backlash that was. Or Sting being pinned at Starrcade.

"The reason new Coke almost killed Coca-Cola is that people are sheep, afraid of change. This is why I hate old people. GOD FORBID society progress. And that's what Pepsi is -- societal progress." I'm writing a paper, that has nothing to do with New Coke, however I want to use this quote, no sure how but whatever. Can I have a real name to attribute it to, or just make one up? That said Pepsi>Coke. I always by Pepsi products, execept for Mello Yellow. Mello Yellow>Mountain Dew. I took the Pepsi Challenge and I chose Coke (don't ask me how, it just happened, I was very disgusted with myself)

Well, where *did* all those Jews go, then? Having actively studied this last year for a paper, I can tell you in all seriousness they believe that many moved to New York. I recommend the book "Dening the Holocaust" it's one of may favorite books, it's about those that deny the holocaust and goes to great lengths to show the utter ridiculousness of the enite thing.

That made my day.

I will be fantasy booking Smackdown in this thread. It'll start with this week's show. Give me toughts on booking and format if you like. WWE Smackdown News and Recaps: Dec. 16-17 The Dec. 16 Smackdown was the last before PPV Armageddon. The show was above average and morale in the locker room seems to have improved, with the addition of a new head writer whose name is not known at this time. Dec. 16 Smackdown Brian Kendrick vs Paul London vs Nunzio vs Kid Kash opened in an elimination match, with the winner receiving a Cruiserweight title shot at Armageddon. Order of elimination was Nunzio, Kendrick, London. London missed a Shooting Star Press and was then pinned by Kash. Match went 15 minutes and was split between two commercial breaks. 8 Man Tag main event advertised. Ken Kennedy’s new segment “The Ken Kennedy Show” debuted. It was a pretaped segment that featured Kennedy giving Armageddon match predictions in his trademark style. He will have a special live version with guest The Boogeyman at Armageddon. Segment went about 5 minutes. Bobby Lashley then defeated an enhancement talent in about 30 seconds after hitting the Dominator and then locking the man in a rear naked choke until the man passed out causing the ref to stop the bout. Lashley called himself “unstoppable” and vowed to be World Champion by the end of 2006. Josh Matthews interviewed Randy Orton. Orton said that last week he faced death in the eyes and he is not afraid of it. He then told his Dad that he was going to win tonight by himself and Sunday by himself. Interview was only a couple minutes long. Johnny Nitro, Joey Mercury, and Sylvan Grenier vs Mexicools ended with Crazy pinning Nitro after a Crazysault. Match went 7 minutes and was used to hype Mexicools vs MNM at Armageddon. JBL was backstage with Teddy Long and he asked for spot #30 in the Royal Rumble so he could win that, main event Wrestlemania 22, win the World Championship and have order restored to the universe. Long stated that Smackdown did in fact control spot #30 in the Rumble and that JBL should have it, if he can beat Lashley at Armageddon. Orlando Jordan then walked in and had a staredown with JBL. Orlando asked for a match at Armageddon so he could prove to the world that he is a legitimate threat to anyone on the roster. Long said that if he could beat Sly at Armageddon he could have a shot at the United States Championship when the best of 7 ends. Segment turned Orlando face. Armageddon card rundown: Hell in a Cell Randy Orton vs Undertaker Raw vs Smackdown Rey Mysterio and Batista vs Kane and Big Show Spot #30 in the Royal Rumble Bobby Lashley vs JBL Match #4 Chris Benoit vs Booker T Tag Team Championship MNM vs The Mexicools Cruiserweight Championship Kid Kash vs Juvi The Boogeyman on the “Ken Kennedy Show” Orlando Jordan vs Sylvan Grenier And by order of Teddy Long: 10-Man Tag Challenge Matt Hardy, LOD 2K5, Paul London, Brian Kendrick vs William Regal, Paul Burchill, Nunzio, Vito, Simon Dean Team Batista (Batista, Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, and Orlando Jordan) vs Team Orton (Randy Orton, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, William Regal, and Paul Burchill) went 45 minutes, taking up the entire second hour. Good match, crowd stayed hot throughout. Ended when Orton pinned Batista after Big Show interfered. As Orton was celebrating the Undertaker came up and they got in a fist fight to end the show. Dec. 17 Online Velocity Paul London and Brian Kendrick went to a 15 minute draw. Orlando Jordan stated that he would knockout Sly. Videos played highlighted Smackdown and tommorow’s PPV. Lashley vs Jobber was shown in it’s entirety. Regal and Burchill defeated LOD2K5 at the 10 minute mark after Animal tapped out to a Burchill armbar. News Velocity and Heat will no longer be live on the net before a PPV. They will be separate from a special live preshow. This is being done to increase online advertising. Orlando Jordan is being the gimmick of a boxer, where if he connects with a series of punches the match is over. There is talk of giving him a mouth piece. Kennedy will tape segments to appear every other week or so, in order to prevent the fans from forgetting about him. He will make live appearances at the Pay Per Views. Lashley is penciled in to face the Undertaker at WrestleMania 22.

Despite Murder Inc's recent legal troubles, Ja Rule is preparing to return to the racks with Exodus, a greatest hits set. According to billboard.com, The Inc./Def Jam compilation will include three new tracks as well as Ja Rule favorites like "Holla Holla," "Clap Back" and the R. Kelly and Ashanti-guested "Wonderful." The album will mark the first Inc. release since Ashanti's Concrete Rose in 2004. The label, founded by brothers Irv and Chris Gotti, has been in the news lately for its upcoming money laundering trial. Since R.U.L.E. was his best album in a long time (though I do feel "Bloody in My Eye" was very underrated) I'm eager to hear the new tracks.

I, myself, feel that "R.U.L.E." is best album, "Blood in My Eye" is a cloooose second. "Venni Vetti Veci", is very good but I think he got better as he went, with a few missteps. The song of his, I listen to most has got to be "Race Against Time II"

“You got shot 9 times, man, shut the f**k up, you gon’ get shot again” - from one of many of Rule’s freestyles about 50 Cent.

Vinyl is just much cooler looking. If I really like an album, I try and track down a vinyl copy of it. They never get used, but they look cool.

I wanted to go see Rent this weekend but it wasn't playing at a time I could make it. I hope it's still in my theatre next week.

I think Ashanti outsells him. But R.U.L.E. was his best effort yet, and I can't wait to hear new music from him.
