Do you know how much the Maracana holds? Soccer wins that one without even breaking a sweat. The qoute was "Most watched sport in the world." So I took it as thus.

Dropped the belt CLEAN.

John Stockton in his prime >>> Kidd and Nash in their primes. If we are playing that game. Dallas is just too much for Miami I think. Sure nobody on Dallas can stop Shaq, but conversely, nobody on Miami can stop Dirk, and Dirk is playing better than Shaq.

I went to mine, just because I got like 75 calls from the girls I used to hang out with in HS begging me to come. Me and a couple of the Band Geeks that I ran with started up a Ultimate Frisbee game and owned half the football team.

One More Minute was always a favorite of mine. "I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue... than spend... one more minute... with you."

My company uses secret shoppers all the time, but they don't fucking train them appearantly, because we keep getting shit back like the person was just making shit up. I scored a 23% Because appearantly, I "wasn't wearing my name tag, didn't talk to the person, didn't offer any assistance, and didn't thank them for coming in" yet they knew my first name. Andrew. The store director comes down and starts giving me shit about it, so I turn to him, and ask him what my average Secret Shopper score was... I had him since I'm the highest average scorer in the store. He flips through his little chart and says, "82%" "Problem isn't with me then. We had someone who didn't know what the hell they are doing." I guess I just hate it since there is no logic to it at all where I work. People check the same response, but the totals are different. Like the highest you can get for "Greeting" the customer is something like, "Made visual contact, smiled or had a pleasant facial expression, and greeted me in a friendly, sincere tone" BUT then the customer rates you on a scale of 0/5 So we get shit like, did everything right, 2/5, or my favorite, "Shelves where well stocked, the floor was clean," Appearance of the department 2/5. My ex-signed up for being a secret shopper, and they just got e-mails for businesses and they took the job if they wanted it or not. No training at all. If these people received any kind of training it would be a plus, but I doubt that goes down where I am.

For any day. RIP Quake.

The only two guys who where really all that dependant on Theme music where Sandman and New Jack. They can get Motorhead's Enter Sandman, and I don't think they are interested in NJ, so I don't think it's that important.

I agree with this one, particularly when it's written across their asses. I mean, I don't want to look, but I want to know what it says at the same time. And then you feel like a perv. Imagine what pedophile came up with this marketing tool.

This is the man who has more retirements than Hogan. He does what he does, he needs no explination. I always go back to Foley's book when dealing with the "sell-out" question. He's doing what he loves and getting paid for it. Why should it matter?

Gang wasn't bad. I mean you have a 400 pounder dropping the 747 _off_the_top_ plus we don't know if Gang was giving out handjobs or gummi bears backstage. He might be the nicest guy in the locker room, and that is where Hogan comes up with his "best of"

By God, he has a wrestling fan somewhere deep inside him, doesn't he? This is a good sign, perhaps the whole WWE will go this direction. *crosses fingers and sacrifices the nearest virgin to the wrestling gods.*

I fully endorse this sentiment.

I would believe that alot of people would get the Sgt. Slaughter reference though. At least around me, he's pretty notable.

Yeah totally, I mean Funk was a given, but I am more shocked and happy that Big Show's promo didn't involve any screaming or chokeslam gestures. Just calm, cool, explanation. Non-screaming Show sounds like my uncle. I felt a quiet intensity to the promo as well, though. The fact that he didn't raise his voice made it that much more effective. I think that ECW is going to show wrestlers as they should have been booked. Like Show, Gangrel, and of course all the ECW alums.

SHIT!!! The Pink Ranger took a Lillian-esque bump!!!

H fears Hat Guy. Deadly Hataphobia.

My first double post. Here's a picture of a guy dressed like the Warrior.

I always thought that was a killer move, former champ handing the new guy the belt. I loved that moment as a kid. Looking back I can see how that takes away the spotlight, but still it's a great visual.

They need the Nikolai "Cents" T-shirt when DiBiase bought him. That thing owned.

I think the main part that people shat on this match, was that Buff's antics backstage with the WWE guys was perfectly in his character... which was annoying. Like it's been mentioned before WWE fans didn't know who these two guy where. So they get a generic black guy and hyenia. A ratings bonaza it was not. Wasn't DDP one of the guys who bought out of his Time Warner contract? Why not DDP/Book in a face vs face match?

Meh... not really. I believe the Ladder theory in this instance. You know what you're "rated", and if your partner is below/above you, that affects where the power is in the relationship, at least in the short term. Also, no matter how disgusting or gorgeous a girl that some guy is with... it will always make other girls put you in higher regard. That's the only reason I think the lowered expectation stuff does have some validity. I remember hearing about a study they did where once you're with a girl it makes all the other girls more jealous because it's something they "can't" have so you can actually become more attractive once you're with someone else. Don't know if it's true or not but I always found that interesting. That's not a study, that's just human nature. Which is why LDS missionaries are like number 2 on the list of (collective) men that women want to bed. Chippendale's Dancers being #1. Marv, find a friend who is in a relationship, have his girl invite a few single friends over, and have some other guys come over (no more than 10) and just chill with these girls. Just make sure not to hang in the corner, and occasionally pipe in a comment here and there. You'll meet some interesting people that way, without the stress of "going up and talking to someone."

Yeah, I was expecting an iceslide in the movie. I totally was wondering why I was missing something when I walked out. Now I know.

But have you Cabbage-Patched in a cul-de-sac?

The guys we're talking about here lack any confidence. They don't know how to even APPROACH the kind of women you're talking about. In theory any guy should be able to get with a decent looking woman who isn't a barslut, but when you're 25+ and you haven't been in a relationship, or touched a boobie you're way behind the pace. I'm just saying that when you're in that boat it's best to start off with someone who won't completely intimidate you and make you break into a cold sweat when thinking about how to say hello. I personally don't think these guys are capable of making something meaningful or substantial just because relationship wise they're at the same phase most of us were at when we were 14 or maybe 16, but they're roughly 10 years older. Women want men with confidence and strong decision making skills and these guys don't have that yet. That's why I'm saying they should just try to get that first date/relationship/sexual experience behind them so they'll find out that it isn't rocket science or this nearly impossible thing they've made it out to be mentally. That's what I get for not reading the whole thread. Still. I don't think that going out and "getting it over with" is a solution either. They have a block in place, sure, but going out and getting with any girl just to say they have isn't the answer either. I'd try getting a small group together with the help of some friends, so that he can be in a friendlier enviroment and build up some sort of friendship with a girl before asking her out. I know that the few times I've been to a bar, I just hang out in the corner, since I'm not the type to walk up to someone and start chatting. I'm better in small groups and "getting myself over" to steal a wrestling term.
