Austin has an email account? I'd love to see his writing style.

Was Ernie Banks a close second? And would Harry Carey be third?

The stadium was renovated in 95 when the Raiders came back so its not like the place is a dump. And I don't get the complaint that there are too many seats. If you build a smaller stadium and then it sells out, doesn't that mean that there were probably some people who wanted to come in but couldn't, therefore that would be money lost? Is a new stadium basically so you can add attractions other than the actual game?

Which is true. HHH has had better matches lately. I'm sure that can be attributed to his opponents (Benoit, Michaels, Benjamin) but at least his matches have been enjoyable and he's done the job more than in the past couple years.

No comment needed Yeah, like Scott HAS 5 friends. -=Mike Put Scott into that cast of Friends. Now that is a show I'd watch. Anyway. I'll be watching tonight to see how it ends, but I haven't watched the last 4 seasons. I still find them funny. I just no longer consider it "Must See TV".

That was a helluva season wasn't it? I can't remember ever saying that an episode was just ok. And it was such a long season I felt like we watched a whole damn series. I liked the ending. I really like when a show ends with music accompanying the final scenes. It lets the scenes speak for themselves. It was also one of the first times in a long time where Ryan didn't annoy me. A very well written episode.

I think those slugs mentioned need to be kept around as jobbers. You trim too many people and next thing you know all your favorite wrestlers are doing the job too often and then you'll complain about that.

I'd love to see Bob Backlund come in and chicken wing half the current roster and never break the hold.

Being that they plan on keeping the weekly PPVs, is this going to be any different than XPlosion? Because I don't know if that will do much ratings wise if they are showing ppv recaps and a couple jobber matches at 3pm. They'd have to make it a must-see show for it to do anything.

One week Paula has a sling. The next week her thumb is all wrapped up. Then finally this week she's crying at everything. Someone's in an abusive relationship. Every time they boo Simon I hope that he would just say "Shut up people, we can't have a 6 way tie for American Idol".

TNA said their main demographic is 40-50 year olds. Is that unemployed 40-50 year olds they're targeting?

According to pwinsider it was Stephanie who decided to put Jackie in the match. Like it was previously mentioned the challenger was supposed to be Matt Cappotelli but he suffered a concussion at a house show and was unable to wrestle. And he was of course injured by Bob Holly. Fire him now!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhrgh!

Susan Powder has the Joan Jett haircut. Joan is the original.

I don't know. According to that stupid bitch Paula, Latoya can record a Big Band album and sell millions!!

When is this airing?

How many hours ago was Tony dying on the surgery table and Michelle had too keep calling to check on his status? Since then he went through miracle rehab, resumed his job, turned heel and is now evading everyone.

No one should beg you to stay. We can't tell you why you should like it. I've been watching since like 83 and while there are things I hate, there are things I like. In the last few months I got to see Eddie and Benoit win the world title at right around the same time. Something I never ever thought I'd see. The ending of WM20 with Guerrero and Benoit in the center of the ring will go down as one of my favorite wrestling moments of all time. You can go back through any of the eras and find stuff that sucked. If you can't find something that you enjoy then why even stick around and watch? You have net access and it sounds like you have friends who follow wrestling. Why not stop watching completely until you hear that things are getting good?

Found this whole thread on a message board about the subject. To sum it up and avoid reading the garbage below, Back Bacon = what we know as Canadian Bacon It's Canadian Bacon, New "signature" dish for Toronto?

QUOTE The food lovers of Toronto have spoken — forcefully, argumentatively, persuasively. Hogtown needs a signature dish. (No it doesn't.) Let's be pro-active citizens and create one. (It won't be authentic unless it creates itself.) Making the Hogtown — peameal bacon on a sourdough bun slathered with maple mustard — the taste of Toronto is an awesome idea. (It's ridiculous beyond belief.) Toronto (or Hogtown as we are affectionately known) speak out on the concept of having a Toronto "signature" dish. So, fellow Torontonians, I want your opinion. Do we need a special dish to call our own? Is this the right dish? Discuss!

The only thing that seems to be available south of the border is Canadian "style" bacon which suggests to me that the real thing is probably qualitatively different and likely better. fresco Posted: Mar 11 2004, 10:23 AM eG News Team Group: Forum Hosts Posts: 3210 Member No.: 7681 Joined: 12-February 03 QUOTE (mnebergall @ Mar 11 2004, 11:17 AM) Just what is "Canadian Bacon?"

"Canadian bacon" and "peameal bacon" are two different things. Peameal is a brine cured loin, coated in cornmeal. Canadian bacon is a smoke cured loin. Usually. Although it's referred to in Canada as "back bacon" never "Canadian bacon." -------------------- Arthur Johnson, aka "fresco" Forum Host, Food Media and News [email protected] Betts Posted: Mar 11 2004, 04:10 PM Group: Members Posts: 143 Member No.: 11666 Joined: 10-September 03 As an expat Canadian - I truly miss peameal bacon sandwiches. I don't know why it never caught on in the US - it's tasty, healthy and easy to cook. Pere Hugo Posted: Mar 16 2004, 07:54 AM Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 12770 Joined: 27-October 03 I had thought that "peameal" bacon was the same thing as "Canadian" bacon because historically the Canadians fed their pigs peameal instead of whatever the American hogs got. Presumably the peameal made for more tender and better flavoured meat. By the way, is that really peameal that coats Canadian bacon? It seems to me to be more like cornmeal. 0 User(s) are reading this topic (0 Guests and 0 Anonymous Users) 0 Members: « Next Oldest | Toronto, Ontario, and Central Canada | Next Newest » Fast Reply Show Smilies Pop Up Window | Enable Smilies | Enable Signature Close Topic Options Track this topic Receive email notification when a reply has been made to this topic and you are not active on the board.

http://brian-kendrick.net/qanda.html Q & A with Brian Have some questions for Brian? Send them to me here. I'll ask him and get it put on the site. April 24, 2004 Would you ever consider wrestling for NWA-TNA? i think they are so much better than wwe. have you watch some of their stuff and what do you think of AJ Styles? I am a fan of TNA. I think they have a very interesting style. I am very happy to see that they have taken a chance with the X-division, and it seems to have really paid off. I am also happy that while the X-division is a success, it doesn't mean all the matches have to be like that. They really have a wide variety. I think AJ Styles is amazing. I think it is amazing that somebody could be such a geek. That nerd plays more video games than "The Beaver King" and "The Electric Eel" put together. Do you believe in Jesus Christ and his resurrection? Well it's hard to say, because that would mean that Jesus is a zombie. And there is plenty of proof that zombies exist. Hey, as long as he doesn't try to eat my brains we are cool. I would hate to have to shoot Jesus in the head, then burn him. Although it would make for a great heel turn. If you had a time machine, what would you travel back in time to see/hear? I would like to travel back in time to Atlantis, if it existed, if not I would like to travel back to the Bahamas and go to Atlantis hotel and Casino. April 15, 2004 I was wondering what you think of the current wwe direction/product. What was it like being trained by hbk? Would you like to wrestle HBK in a wwe ring? I think the WWE knows what they are doing, they are still making money and making people happy so they must be doing something right. It was neat being trained by HBK. It would be a dream come true to be allowed to wrestle him in a WWE ring Have you gotten to wrestle that dead Kangaro yet? NOPE What made you decide to get into wrestling? ps - who's sexier Matt hardy or Christian? I decided to become a pro wrestler when I went to career day in the 7th grade, and I picked up a pamphlet. It had a picture of the Ultimate Warrior on the front and I thought to myself, "Hey, I'm bigger than this guy." I realized after it was already to late, that the picture was not life size. Matt Hardy is definitely sexier. There is just something about the way he walks, and that voice *SIGH*, although I wouldn't kick Christian out of bed either. April 8, 2004 If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? zero Do you ever wonder if really dumb people get the full effect of alphabet soup? I'm not sure I know what you mean? Hey Brian, when you hit the dance floor, do you like to shake it like a Polaroid picture?? I have only danced one time ever in my life and I won a dance contest, but it was against Lance Cade and American Dragon, and Lance refused to dance when the pressure was on while Dragon was trying to pick up chicks. I didn't really shake it like a Polaroid picture, but I did win 20 dollars that I never received. GRRRR April 1, 2004 What are your views on God? I think he has got to be pretty great. You always hear people talking about him, and he has a best selling book based on his life story. I have never read it because it looks awfully long, but if you are looking for a good read that is quick and painful check out http://www.samoajoe.cjb.net/ and go to the diary. Joe is the God of hilarious, but for all the wrong reasons. Joe your my pal, always have been, always will be, but eckgads. First of all, I love you so much! Is there a chance of your ever coming back to the wwe?? Maybe so, right now I am focusing on Japan though. Thanks for asking, and I love you too, but don't let my girlfriend hear that or else I`ll get the hose again. If a turtle loses his shell, is he naked or homeless? He dies, sorry to tell you but they are connected to those darn things and you would have to rip the turtle to pieces to get him or her out of his or her shell. I think. Otherwise, naked, because home is where the heart is and his heart is next to his lungs. March 25th, 2004 I am an aspiring wrestler, although I am 14. and I was wondering if you were asked if you would train a person. hence...me lol, i would love to be trained by you. you are my hero. Well thanks for the kind words. I am flattered. Unfortunately I am in Japan most of the year and wouldn't really have any time to train anybody properly. You know I was thinking, when I was 14 my hero was the Ultimate Warrior. I thought he was the best. Turns out a lot of people would disagree. Nuts to them, Warrior rules. Hey I heard he has a school in Arizona, you should check that out. Just kidding, he really does suck, but he was my hero. Does that mean I suck. I sure hope not. Oh well. Thanks again. What was the best thing before sliced bread? The wheel Do you have any tips for someone that is just starting out in wrestling. Would you ever come back to Ohio to wrestle. In the future do you think you would join NWATNA? My best tip is to go to college first, because I never did and if I get hurt its back to flipping pizzas for me. Fortunately I LOVE pizza. I doubt I will ever go back to Ohio to wrestle again anytime soon, but I might go back for the Chili, and the ladies, but mostly the chili and mostly not for the ladies. As far as TNA is concerned I can`t talk about that right now, because, well you know, em, ya get me. March 17th, 2004 Why don't you like action movies? Because they give me a headache. Car chases all become a blur, bullets are flying and start to mean nothing in no time flat. They have comedians that aren't funny as there side kicks who are always scared and make witty remarks that aren't witty, and explosions bore me. I do like a few action movies Die Hard, Predator, Fox and the Hound, and Running Man. Thats about it. Sorry to hurt your feelings if you like action movies. All of my buddies always get mad at me when we start talking about movies because I hate everything the like. Sorry guys Super Troopers sucks you are gonna have to face the facts. Is the Hokey Pokey really what it's all about? That is my favorite question ever!!! No, the Hokey Pokey is not what it is all about, it's all about being happy. I'll tell you one thing though, if it were between being all about the Hokey Pokey and being all about the Benjamins, Hokey Pokey wins by a landslide. March 10th, 2004 If you were a dessert, what would you be called and what would you be made up of? If I were fortunate enough to someday become a dessert and I were able to not only choose the ingredients but also my name I would like to be an ice cream of some sort, a chocolate ice cream, with different types of chocolate things in the ice cream, and I would like to be called CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM, and the only difference between inferior chocolate ice creams and myself is that I would be capitalized and you would have to say my name (CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM) real loud otherwise people might confuse what you mean with regular chocolate ice cream, plus I would have more stuff inside. I was just wondering what you would say your favorite match has been in your career so far? Either my first televised match on velocity against Funaki when I was dressed as the Diamond-back because it was my first time on TV and Funaki has been a very good friend since I first started training at TWA, my match against Angle since it was my first time on smackdown and it was a big opportunity, the one I had against American Dragon at Cauliflower Alley getting to wrestle for some legends, or wrestling Darren Childs because I got to make fun of my coach Rudy;s ridiculous `dancing girls` and had to apologize after words because I made some of them cry because I essentially called them ugly, but it was a quote from `the Muppet Movie.` I am sorry ladies, even if you are ugly I had no right to say it in front of the 36 people in the crowd at Jumpin Joes in Hondo. Which by the way is the strawberry capital of Texas. Hooray for Hondo. `To bad the dancing girls are on vacation, the crowd is getting ugly` `You think this crowd is ugly, you should see the dancing girls` What was the one wrestling move that you had a hard time to learn. A moonsault, very tricky. March 3rd, 2004 Have you ever dated a wrestler (female) or would you date a wrestler (female). I have only dated one female ever in my ENTIRE LIFE, and that is my current girlfriend Taylor. We started dating in July 2002. We now live together in Orlando and have two beautiful cats together. As far as males are concerned, I didn't know it at the time but apparently American Dragon was under the impression that we were a couple. I didn't realize he had such feelings, but he sent me a letter in the mail when he found out I was `Cheating On Him` with Taylor. He explained that he thought what we had together was special. I thought we were just friends, but he saw it as more than that. So depending on who you choose to believe I may or may not have dated a wrestler. How has your family and friends reacted to your career choice? I DON'T HAVE A FAMILY.....just kidding, I actually have never told them that I wrestle. I tell them that I am a zoo keeper. Which is kind of true because I actually do a zoo keeper character in Mexico, they call me Los Zoo Keepaleros, which roughly translates to `the great white zoo keeper of DEATH.` Oh yeah it`s also true because I am white, and I kill people. Not really people, but animals. Don't worry I don't kill animals that have fur.

I'd love to see cameo appearances from the original cast. Just to see how messed up they turned out.

I think they played it on The O.C. last night. Pretty cool song.

I've been dipping my pastries in chocolate milk way too much lately. Its so good and I'm slowly becoming a fat bastard.

Jasmine has said she is of Filipino, Spanish, and Chinese descent if that makes anything less clear for you.
