Exactly. I'd love to see a random superplex or german suplex win a match for a change. Maybe have someone bust out a boston crab or sleeperhold to get a submission victory once in a while. It seems like almost every WWE worker has a set list of moves they can perform in a match, and are strictly limited to that moveset. The cheap rollups and tight pulling are _way_ overdone in WWE. You'd think the agents in the back would notice that.

One comment? You've consistently brought up the 'Hes just a nice black boy' thing about Obama. Despite repeated posts showing how he is more experienced than at least half the people that have ever served as President...you continue to say the same retarded shit about the man's race. You can deny being a racist, that's fine, but your actions (posts) need to catch up with that opinion of yourself. Your dislike for Mexicans has been thouroughly covered here. By you alone. The Ellison thing just happened ON THIS PAGE. You brought it up yourself right out of the friggin blue, Mr Pink. I dont even think O Reilly/Hannity/Limbaugh are bringing this up anymore after Ellison dragged out Thomas Jefferson's Koran. Though I wouldnt be surprised if they, like you, are still trying to act like his election is some kind of doomsday moment. I think I mentioned Obama being black once. My comment was more about the media fawning over him than anything. I dislike illegal immigration, period. I have nothing against Mexicans who are here legally. I've been to Mexico before, and enjoyed in thoroughly. Everyone I met there was very friendly. The Ellison thing was brought up by someone else making a comment infering that "Muslims can't be president". I noted that a Muslim was recently elected to Congress (got the house wrong), and was simply noting how happy that should make all of you progressive liberals. I don't care if he's Muslim, Jew, or Christian if he does a good job. I don't know what the Koran being Thomas Jefferson's has to do with anything. Maybe someday we'll have a satanist sworn in on some of Ben Franklin's book collection, and we can all celebrate that. Geez.

I personally find the early episodes hilarious, and will stop watching when they get to the later, "serious" rounds. I loved how the ugly gothish looking "super fan" started off horribly doing "Under Pressure" and then claimed to have a degree in vocal performance or some such non-sense. The "rocker" guy was amusing as well. I give him credit for learning an Abba song on the fly, but he shot himself in the foot by attempting three different songs in the same exact tone and voice. No one wants to hear that fake gravely voice garbage. The juggling kid had to be the best, though. His juggling wasn't that spectacular, and then he claimed he could dance and did a pathetic jig, reminiscent of Ashlee Simpson on Saturday Night Live. "You belong on America's Got _Some_ Talent." BWAHAHAHA!

Wow, you guys sure draw some big conclusions from one off handed comment I made.

I have heard that he done this many times in diffent towns. I've heard of that happening at the old ECW House of Hardcore, too. They'd take a guy in, he'd pay up, they'd teach him how to take one bump, and then tell them to get the hell out.

Randy Savage (a very major person at the time) clearly accidentally eliminated himself from the 1992 Royal Rumble before he was supposed to. He then got back in the ring and eventually the commentators said that was OK because he went over the top on his own which doesn't count as an elimination (or some such nonsense). OK, yeah, that was right. He kind of left the announcers with no good way of covering it, so you can't blame them for that. I mean, it was totally blatant that the rules were being disregarded for Savage.

He's also billed as from "The Animal Kingdom." I wonder if he'll talk, or just roar a lot. Ah, he did cut a promo after his match. I actually didn't think he was too bad on the mic, honestly. He was definitely over with the crowd.

They'll do a spot where Khali gets crotched on the top rope (like after missing a big boot), and then someone like Lashley knocks him over with a spear...basically his other leg will lift over the top rope, and he'll drop from the apron to the floor. Khali will then scream incomprehensibly at whoever eliminated him.

Personally I'd consider an aspiring wrestler's credit card to be more worthless than the plastic it's printed on, but YMMV.

Ah, there's a Muslim senator now, he was sworn in on a Koran. Rolling Stone heralds this as a "positive for us" in their latest issue. Maybe some day he'll be elected president, and they can play "Imagine" on his way to the inauguration. Wouldn't that be keen?

I think you hit the nail on the head about what I've been feeling. I mean, the night he was elected, everyone was non-stop babbling about how he was "the bright new shining star of the Democratic Party" when he had yet to really do anything on the national level. I guess that kind of hype just rubs me the wrong way. It's like when ESPN is constantly hyping some football player entering his senior year in college as a future NFL Hall of Famer, if that's a fair analogy. I'm willing to give the guy a chance, but I have to actually know what his positions are on the issues and such. A few nice speeches and a sparkly personality won't win me over.

I know this has probably been discussed, but has a winner or major person in a Royal Rumble match or even a regular battle royal, ever been eliminated before they were supposed to be?

I didn't even realize Cassidy Riley was in ECW. Did enjoy the "TNA" chants at the beginning of that match, though. WTF kind of name is "Marquis Co Van" or whatever, though? Is this just another case where Vince wants to be able to copywrite a name, or what?

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more I like him as a candidate. If he's elected, though, the NAACP never gets to talk about black Americans being kept down anymore.

Sounds like a terrible idea for a contest, but it's basically the woman's own fault, unfortunately. I think I knew by the time I was 10 or so that drinking too much water at once could kill you.

I'm no racist. Get that through your thick skull, snuffbox. I understand that Obama has been devoted to public service. I suppose I'd find him more palatable than Hillary Clinton, since she'll say anything to anyone to get elected.

Well, from what I recall hearing, Hogan basically demanded the match be booked his way, and wasn't willing to listen to ideas from Shawn Michaels or anyone else. Basically, Hogan being Hogan.

I don't understand what qualifies Obama to run for president. He hasn't even finished one term as a Senator, but hey, he's black and handsome, so that will automatically get the media fawning over his potential run for the next three months or so.

The question is, if the two are in the ring at the same time, will the universe implode on itself?

It sounds like Hogan deserved what he got in that particular match, though.

Hard to get excited until we see if this is just a small one week bump, or part of a trend.

That's a pretty ridiculous law. My town used to have one gas station that still offered "full service" at the pump, but they recently closed (it was a really old Mobil station). Just saw gas for $2.099 today here in Wisconsin. That's pretty good compared to the last few months.

What they could do, is have Shawn win the title at Wrestlemania, then go heel and form a heel faction under the DX name, maybe using guys like Rodimer. There's your twist for when Triple H comes back.

I don't know why they didn't just push Berlyn and Wall as a tag team, since they both seemed like they were over with the crowd. Oh, that would have made sense, though.

Hmmm...that could work, actually. Did anyone else find it a little silly that they tried to make it seem like Jim Duggan and HBK are great friends, even though that's never been mentioned on TV? At least they brought up some of their history together, I guess. I did find the segment with Vince somewhat entertaining. I'm hoping they actually "get it", but they've disappointed us so many times before.
