Dobbs 3K

These aren't the same Brewers of years past...get used to it. I'm not saying they're going to make the play-offs, but a season above .500 isn't unrealistic this year. They have a very good starting rotation, including one legit ace (Sheets) and another who could be the ace on many other teams (Doug Davis). Plus, the trade for Carlos Lee is already paying dividends on offense and Spivey is healthy and producing thus far.

Hey all... there's only one undefeated team in MLB as of right now... and it's the Milwaukee Brewers...my team...3-0... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

WWE in HD is a matter of "when", not "if." Mainly it depends on how quickly the cable companies get off their butts and start making more HD channels widely available. The satellite companies have been doing a better job of this. They will definitely be in digital format at some point, and HD is a no-brainer from there (especially if they really do already own HD cameras). Btw, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure true HD is only in 16x9 widescreen (720p or 1080i), not the 4x3 aspect ratio that we're all used to.

I agree. I was under the impression they were doing it to give Kurt something to do while the other main eventers were tied up with other feuds. I figured it was done when HBK jumped him a couple weeks ago (when he was wearing the riot gear), but I guess I was wrong. I was thinking someone like Daniel Puder was going to come out one day and make Kurt sweat, if not beat him, though it looks like that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Hopefully RAW gets a makeover finally...new set, new music, etc.

Yet another PPV that showed why WCW deserved to go out of business. Seriously, how come no one has ever beaten the crap out of Vince Russo for his crappy booking?

Man, re-reading this thread, it's pretty obvious just how little good WCW actually did in its existence, especially after 1997. Most of it was crap, with a good match here and there. They deserved to go out of business. I'm surprised no one has murdered Bischoff and Russo over their incompetence. I remember back in '99 when WCW was starting to get really crappy, I went on a message board (don't remember the name, but it was a predecessor to this one) and said that we needed to start punishing WCW for their crappy booking. I wanted people to boycott the shows. I also hated Hogan, and wanted people to chant stuff at him like "fuck you Hogan" and stuff. But everyone on the board said "oh, WCW isn't _that_ bad. They have the cruiserweight matches!" Like the cruiserweights were going to carry the company, or that one or two decent matches on Nitro made up for all the terrible storylines. Then Meltzer said Russo's booking was "retarded" and people got mad at him, saying that Russo was at least being original. What the hell was wrong with people??? It just pisses me off looking back now how some people didn't get how shitty the company was.

So...any more news on this game or new reviews up? xbox.ign.com reports the release date as April 18, 2005.

Bah...the BBC is generally regarded as the most credible news organization in the world. Sounds like someone just messed up on this one.

His last match was a tag match in All Japan, though, teaming with Giant Baba. It may actually have been a six man tag with someone else, now that I think about it. Like someone else said, it was very shortly before his death.

Duh...WWE.com has no mention of it, but pukeboy.com is on top of things, so it MUST be true!

I doubt they would've wrestled each other since they were both faces at the time (Tugboat became Typhoon basically immediately when he turned heel). Also, if you want to get real picky, Steamboat wasn't actually called "Ricky Steamboat" during that run with WWF. Idiotically, he was simply billed as "The Dragon."

I always thought Michael Hayes was an underrated announcer when WWE used him for a short bit on RAW. Maybe he could fill in?

Czech Republic...I agree 100%, and I've been saying that for years. I think one of the first rules of naming a wrestler should be if you can picture hearing "Here is your winner...and NEW WWE Champion..._insert name here_". With "Christian" it just doesn't work. Maybe he could take up the name Christian Cage like he had in the indys before joining WWE. That would be better.

That is a good point. I think ultimately, though, there really isn't a right or wrong response to a situation like that. I'm sure people would've critcizied him if he cancelled the show, too. Vince got put in a very difficult situation, and he made the choice he felt was best, at that moment. Maybe there was some financial aspects to it, but I think he probably felt that taking the "show must go on" mentality was best that night.

The re-showing was free to everyone that ordered the original, IIRC. As for Over the Edge '99...my view was always that by cancelling the show, the WWF would've risked pissing off the fans in attendance at the show. Maybe that is being overly cynical, but 20,000 pissed off wrestling fans probably isn't a pretty sight.

What if Vince is caught at the edge of a nuclear explosion, and is mutated into a genetic freak of nature, who goes on a rampage, killing a bunch of people in the process? Would he still run the company??? What if Stephanie divorces HHH and marries Spike Dudley and has, like, eleven babies with him??? What if the Undertaker is really a Satanist and summons a demon to possess Linda McMahon, and she announces that all matches will take place in an empty arena surrounded by fire and that the loser of each match will be KILLED from now on???

He talks about Ultimate Warrior fans a lot. Does anymore here actually consider themselves a Warrior fan, or know anyone who is one? Even back during his title run, my friends and I (who were pretty much all big time marks who loved WWF) thought he was kind of bizarre and over the top. I think all of us prefered Hogan, because at least you could understand what Hulk stood for, while Warrior was rambling about who-knows-what and speaking to his hands...

People who are anti-globalization are usually just mad because they are poor or can't/won't get good jobs.

"Yay...let's make a new game and make sure we only release it on the oldest and most technologically limited system!"

WTF??? Just three matches on Smackdown? What the hell???

I gotta disagree with the nWo debut in WWE...it seemed like a desperate ploy to get buyrates for the PPV they showed up on...Vince just suddenly announcing "I'm bringing in Hogan, Hall, and Nash...the N-W-O!" and just playing a looped clip of them on the video screen seemed like a waste. I think it would've been more effective if they had just shown up out of the blue and beat the crap out of someone like Austin. That would've been a lot more like the real nWo, IMO.

Creative makes many good MP3 players at affordable prices. I love my Zen Xtra 30GB. I think it sells for about $200.

Well, at least they gave it a very good review. Hopefully they are correct.

I thought Regal was younger than 39...guess I was wronger, or I've lost track of time.
