Exactly. Hence, my proposed solution.

Wow, they're not shying away from booking the big money matches early, I guess.

What about the fact that the President simply hasn't done a good job running the war in Iraq? Where's the accountability? Hey, maybe it was a good idea to remove Saddam either way, but we're still bogged down there, while US advances in Afghanistan seem to be slipping away, and we're unable to respond in meaningful ways to threats from North Korea and Iran. Plus, we have fewer allies than before. But hey, the President had good intentions, so I guess we just let him get away with it.

Oh, just shoot him already and be done with it.

I thought it kind of made sense for WCW to stick those guys into one stable, since they had similar gimmicks and looks anyway. Yeah, looking back the video is stupid, but this was the mid '90s, so stuff like that was accepted, I guess.

I'll join if you make me "Dictator For Life" of your forum.

I always hated when WWF would stick tag team guys in the Royal Rumble. It's one thing when it was a super elite team like the Hart Foundation or Demolition, but mainly it would be the lower tier guys who were completely useless in that setting. They may as well just have put t-shirts on them with the words "Cannon Fodder" written in magic marker.

At least the "reverse battle royal" idea is original. I kind of like it, actually. I mean, WWE has run so many championship and #1 contender tourneys over the last couple years (especially on Smackdown!) that they have kind of lost meaning. At least this is a way to spice it up a little.

Yeah, remember how Eddie got injured in like, his second or third televised match in WWE? Hard to get over with your arm in a sling when you've been known mostly for your workrate.

One solution I recall hearing mentioned last week (sorry, I don't remember who suggested it), would be for the American troops to pull out of major areas like Baghdad, but not leave Iraq completely. Basically it would amount to US troops being stationed at their own bases to keep the threat of Iran at bay, but running the country and controlling the violence would be left to the Iraqi troops. I don't know if it would work, but it seems better to me than leaving our troops to be shot at and blown up in cities filled with people they can't trust. Let's face it, at some point the Iraqis are either going to collectively pull themselves up and say "We want an end to violence and a free democracy" or they won't. There isn't a free nation on earth that was totally set that way by a foreign power. At some point people in every modern democracy grew tired of being ruled by a foreign power, or a despot, and made themselves free. Iraq will have to do the same at some point.

Cornette was in the right on this one, I say.

Who started this thread, Randy Orton?

Yeah, he was basically a beach bum kind of guy to start with. Sort of evolved the same way that Tommy Dreamer started out as a "pretty boy" and became "extreme" eventually.

This is why kids shouldn't have cell phones.

What's with the Nazi T-Rex?

Are you not entertained?

I can't cheer for the Cards, but an All-Midwest World Series is nice. Fuck ESPN. Tigers in 6.

Heh...Cheex...from the early days when TNA was trying to corner the queer redneck wrestling fan market.

For the last time, they "3 years" thing was already corrected by TNA...they say 18 months. Oh well, we'll get to see Angle vs Joe in TNA, so that will make all this bickering worth it.

I liked what I saw last night, but I sadly again fell asleep in the middle of the show. Can't wait 'til they move to a better timeslot, if only a little bit better. Jake Roberts looked and sounded pathetic out there. I bet he doesn't even appear at the PPV. You could tell the crowd couldn't even understand what he was saying. As an aside, Cecil Fielder could probably use the money via a TNA appearance...he blew all his money gambling a few years ago, and his son Prince who plays for the Milwaukee Brewers is completely estranged from him, AFAIK.

Didn't Leatherface and Cactus Jack team up in IWA for at least one match, IIRC?

What did you expect? Do you think Tommy Dreamer and Sabu will be wrestling forever?

What thing? I don't even know how snuffbox jumped onto this whole "Invader hates Mexico" thing in this thread. I guess he is being "gonzo."

Hey, if we bill Mexico for all the costs associated with the illegal immigrants they encourage to come here, we could pay for it in no time.

Who said anything about a 50% income tax?
