Joe promos kind of like Arn Anderson. Right to the guts of the matter, no pointless pussy footing and pandering for catchphrases, just here's the deal. I like how people take bulk for "out of shape" Have you even SEEN Samoans? Typically yeah, they have a belly on them, even if they are athletes. A friend of mine in high school was on the O-Line for the football team and was over 300 pounds, but could do the RVD-lift splits on the chairs and pick up 50 pounds. He had a scholarship, but blew out his knee from another guy cheap shotting him. Joe'll be back, and he'll KILL YOU.

Yeah, Foley's all about the slow-burn gimmick. I wonder if his wife likes the Melina obsession coming through in character? Of course it couldn't be worse than WCW having him married to a Roseanne Barr-esque woman in curlers.

La Parka 7 was the only La Parka worth anything. He innovated the Chair Dance.

I've never flipped out, but I've given more than a few customers something to think about with sarcastic remarks. I work produce at a grocery store and we had corn on 20 for $1, so I hauled out an empty watermelon bin, dummied it up with boxes about 3/4 and began filling said bin full of corn. I wasn't just dumping it in, I was building a structure so awesome that the Deli girl called her husband to come in and take a picture of it. I built the Tower of Corn. It was 6 feet high, and 4 feet wide. It was over 1,000 ears of corn. Right in the center entranceway to the store. The produce is back a bit from the main entrance, and people would walk up to me. "Excuse me? Where's the corn that's on sale?" "It's that tower over there." "Oh I didn't see it when I came in." IT'S SIX FEET HIGH!!! Okay, that's just stupid people. My favorite was a phone call I got. It was the Thursday after the Superbowl, over SB weekend we had Pistachios 1.66 per pound which is killer since they are usually 4-5.99 per pound, it's store policy that if a sign is marked you get the product for that price. I get a call, "Produce Line 1" I answer it. Me: Hello, this is Drew in produce how can I help you? Lady: Aren't pistachios 1.66 a pound? Me: Well, they where over the weekend, but right now they are 4.99. The 1.66 price ended Sunday at midnight. Lady: I was in there Monday morning and the sign said 1.66. Me: What time was that? Lady: 5 am or so. Me: Oh, well, the manager hadn't gotten in yet to take the sign down so you can come back in and get the difference. Lady: I didn't buy them right then. I sent my son in later that afternoon. Me: Well, I'm sorry, the price had been changed then. Lady: Can I bring them back in and get my money back? Me: I believe we can refund what you haven't eaten. Lady: But we've eaten most of them! Me: I don't think we can refund for things you've already eaten. But you certainly can come in and talk to a manager about it. Lady: You mean I'm going to have to spend 8 dollars on Pistachios? Me: I don't know what you want me to do over the phone, ma'am. Especially when you bought the stuff three days ago. (It was now Thursday remember.) Lady: We'll just eat your damned pistachios, and we are never shopping there again. Me: Okay, have a nice day ma'am. **SLAM!!** Other good times are when people complain that they can get produce cheaper at Wal-Mart. Even better is when Wal-Mart employees come in, wearing their vests, and complain that they can get it cheaper at Wal-Mart. Me: Then why are you here complaining to me? Wal-Mart Person: Your stuff tastes better. Me: Which is why it costs more. I can get away with some stuff since I'm usually the only one working at night, and the night manager up front is a total dopehead.

A reminder of the life you used to live, so that you won't go back to it?

Bullshit internet rumors.

I like AAE, but I like over the top Spanish accents in wrestling. I dunno why. I liked Larry Rivera's color work for XPW too. Zou peoples. I dig Ricky Ricardo's acting too. But that's just me. Umaga is a great throwback style gimmick that isn't too cartoonish. I like him, and the fact that he changes up the Samoan Spike, makes it more dangerous, and it could play off that he's "just so crazy, he doesn't remember his own finisher." SS aren't gay, they aren't homoerotic, they are those annoying kids that want you to go support your schools team, eventhough your schools sports suck. They play over the top, because by god, cheerleaders are over the top. RAW sounds wicked, too bad I had to work, and my tape player acted up and I didn't get it.

Monty is inoffensive on the mic for me. I'd rather have him than "I'm Kip James, bitch!" At the end of another DX-eque tirade from Billy Gunn. It's sad that he and Road Dogg are just playing the same old characters that the WWE didn't want anymore. Only suckier.

I marked out hard for Goto's Go To Heaven Wrist-Clutch Angle Slam, I just love that move. Yeah more Minoru, Goto, and Black Tiger. Spreading this thing out would have gotten more people into it, and made the tie at the end more memorable, the pay-off tie breaker have more emotion behind it. Hopefully they can work solid rosters out for next year and have more elaborate booking.

Bon Jovi "It's my life" I have no flippin' clue why this has been in my head since I woke up this morning.

It's like the Mafia, you do one of them, they do one of yours, but you never involve the family. Stupid shit like this just proves that ratings are over-valued. Where's the line? Is there a line anymore?

^ Most likely. If they had the rosters they wanted the X-cup would have ran longer, no doubt. Still team Japan with Goto, Minoru, Black Tiger and Lyger was kick ass. They need to cement down who is going to be at the next X-cup early, so if changes need to be made they can book accordingly. Then they can go back and release a X-cup DVD with all the matches. It would really seperate their product, I think.

That joke always kills me. It pops out at me randomly, and cracks me up everytime.

"No Entry"? Yeah, but like stated before unless it's part of a whole back tattoo. I doubt I'd ever get a tatoo myself, just based on the fact that I'm at near Robin Williams level in hair, so there is nowhere on me that could get tattooed with the exception of the underside of my arms. I'd get the Obey Giant logo if I did get a tat. I like the guerilla styling, and Andre was always my favorite.

Why all the Umaga hate? He's a wildman, with dreads. You'd think that JBL's dissing on Rey being a Mexican, and the entire Rey channeling Eddie stuff would be seen as more over-the-top, and embarrasing than a mid-card Samoan doing the traditional Samoan gimmick. Umaga is one of the bright spots of my wrestling week. Vince playing Mr. McMahon during his interviews is what KILLS any main stream credibility that the WWE could garner. TNA is trying, but they just don't have the fire power yet to "legitimize" wrestling to the general population. Wrestling will probably always be seen as a freakish sideshow, with bouts of tempermental fancy from the population as a whole. Face it, we are social outcasts.

That is a very interesting read. Cool stuff about Abby and The Original Sheik. Imagine being in that bar when those two came crashing through the doors.

To get Goto on my TV? Nah, it's for the globalization thing. Doesn't the winning team get some huge ass trophy? And "prize money" has to dealt out as well. They need to get Danshoku Dino for the next X-Cup. Imagine having the Professor trying to call the Danshoku Driver? Awesome.

Likely they don't want you to see the Spirit Squad fighting amongst themselves in OVW, or that Gunner Scott is Brent Albright. What happened with a wrestler before they go E... didn't happen.

They would have to wear all denim long sleeve shirts, and always be checking the cell phone on thier waist. As I type this a group of polygamist women walk by in the library... CLASSIC!! So I live in Southern Utah, and polygamists are in abundance. I figured it was going to be Joe from the time that Scott and JJ started coming down after Joe's title defence. It should be an interesting match. Joe you forgot to mention that any combination of Team Canada is a great team as well. Young/A1 just work well in my eyes. I've been watching some old ECW tapes, and Team 3D need to go heel, and they need to try and get Gertner to manage them. I think he'd pump some life into their stagnant promos at least.

Why? Kennedy could be this ECW's Shane Douglas, but with more in-ring ability. He has shown the ability to get under people's skin, and get over on the mic. He would fit well. Kennedy actually could bring in some of those "main stream" fans since his voice is recognizable, and if the ECW die hards shit on his Kennedy... Kennedy stuff, so much the better, he just keeps doing it to piss them off. He's really a viable option for top heel.

Just like the Invasion angle, just like Rey's current booking, just like... most everything in McMahon-land in quite some time. Other than Melina doing the splits. That's the BEST THING EVER!

I can see The Sandman being one of ECW biggest stars... but New Jack? He was good for about 10 minutes to fill a gap in a house show or a match, other than that, probably one of the worst wrestlers in ECW history. He was one of the more identifiable figures in ECW, whether you like him or not. He was the epitome of the "extreme" side of ECW. I would consider The Dudleys, Sabu, Funk, and Dreamer the more "extreme" side of ECW over New Jack. Like I said, he was just a time killer. Hit people with strange objects and fall from high places = "extreme". New Jack = King of hitting people with strange objects and falling from high places. New Jack was one of the faces of ECW. He was always in their photo ads in wrestling mags, and him jumping off stuff onto people was always in the highlights of ECW packages. Sure he was filler, but the man was O-V-E-R in Philly.

The original AM RAW airs at 10 am MST. So with kids flipping through the channels it'll be cut. Why go and uncut the re-airing just because it's on at 2 am? Now it looks like they are going to bother and show an uncut recap show.

Yeah, I actually watch the AM Raw at the original airing, and it's very cut. No blood, minimal cursing... if any... I can't recall specifics. It's your generic replay show. This announcement is mainly going to be the ratings change.

Or the... "I think I see a nipple, so I automatically go for GI Joe Kung Fu grip" stance.
