"The Bad Senator" Byrd Clampton. A former prizefighter turned Dixiecrat junior senator with a short temper, Byrd's political career came to an abrupt end when he responded to a carpetbagger's taunts by, well, pounding him into the carpet... in the middle of the Senate chamber. The poor oaf required ninety-five stitches, reconstructive jaw surgery, and dentures... but Byrd was even worse off, as he was forced to resign the very next day. But all was not lost! Far from it, because Mr. Clampton has taken his bad reputation and experience in fisticuffsmanship to the place where they are most welcome... the SWF! With an arsenal of lethal moves like the Filibuster and the Hanging Chad neckbreaker, this is one Byrd you don't want flying your way!

Vader used to wrestle shootstyle matches with Nobuhiko Takada. He also did top rope moonsaults and landed on his feet. Think about that for a moment.

I know it's old news by now, but I feel truly privileged to have seen the Vader segment. Blessed, I tell you!

IT'S TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Conversation should be on there for sure. I was literally afraid to take a shit after watching it.

He does a shooting star version, too. It's quite ridiculous.

PD compared to games today? Psh, PD wasn't even better than it's spiritual precursor: Goldeneye. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, okay - but Goldeneye itself is certainly better than today's shooters. I honestly don't remember Mischief Makers very well, and I was exaggerating when I said it sucked... but one of the best games on the N64? I highly doubt that. I'll look for it in the bargain section next time I'm at the mall. Perhaps I overlooked it the first time.

Shut up. I have a PS2, Gamecube, N64, SNES emulator, and a whole fucking ton of Game Boys in their various incarnations. The N64 is the only console I play every day without fail - mainly because of the AKI wrestling games, but Perfect Dark, OOT, Mario 64, and the other classics still give me plenty of enjoyment. The level of artistry in these games was incredible, especially compared to the forced "coolness" and pitiful media tie-ins of so much of gaming today. You know why every platformer since has ripped off Mario 64? Because it was brilliant and revolutionary. Nobody knocks Pulp Fiction for the legions of cynical, abysmal pseudo-comic crime movies it inspired - it's considered a great film because people with brains in their skulls judge it by its own merits. What does "original" mean, anyway? At least three of the five games you listed are sequels or franchise titles. Mischief Makers was the game where you beat up kittens and shake them, right? Yeah, it sucked.

I put Smokes over Howard Finkel in No Mercy so he can accompany Homicide to the ring. It makes the game slow as fuck, but it's worth it.

Oh, I know what the Phoenix DDT is. It's the idea of Claudio doing it that made me go "what the hell?"

That Claudio movelist is very helpful, just what I was looking for, but... What the hell?

I think he just did a run-in or something.

Signs people should bring to Raw: ROB DOES GUYS THE CON-WAY KERWIN WHITE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE

I call opening promo. Jay Kay! Someday, though, when nobody expects it...

What is KENTA's Go 2 Sleep?

Incorrect. Awesome match and anything that involves the ROH commentators not talking is fantabulous. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why did it take so long for someone to say this? EDIT: Well, I guess *KNK* did. But the point needs to be emphasized: ROH's announcers suck.

Canadian Stampede should be on there, but I don't mind since I already have it on tape. The Survivor Series match is REALLY hard to find, though. At least they got rid of the Isaac Yankem match.

Is there any other kind?

What are some of Claudio Castagnoli's signature moves? I'm trying to create him in No Mercy but I'm not sure about any of his moves other than the Pyramid Bomb and European uppercut.

Great - four pages of Mike and Marney sucking each other's political dicks. Why would anyone go there?

Just make shit up. Nobody will know the difference. Interestingly enough, I wrote a paper in seventh grade (seventh!) about the differences between Japanese and American pro wrestling and got an A+. I was hoping the teacher would come to me after class and reveal her love of puro, but, sadly, this did not happen.

Apparently Mizoguchi > Kurosawa, but I wouldn't know as I haven't seen any of his films.

There's no such thing as "HUGE" Maven news. Sorry. Not even medium-sized Maven news.

WCW may have died, but its spirit lives on as strong as ever.

Jeff Jarrett doesn't care about... oh, fuck it.
