The only one I ever went to was No Way Out 2000. It was quite an experience...watching Hell In A Cell on the big screen was incredible. And then someone hit the wrong button, because we caught the middle of a porn flick after the show was over.

Anything Harry Caray said after about 1990 would qualify here. He had a particularly bad mispronunciation of "Hideki Irabu" that I remember from the Jim Rome Show awhile back.

Must've been Frank Gifford.

Dean Malenko rolling out of the ring to take a powder two minutes into the Catch-As-Catch-Can match with Kidman...where if you leave the ring, you lose the match.

If he does even reasonably well, Denver will win the conference going away. That said, I have my doubts.

I have to vote for HNIC by law. But CBS's NCAA basketball theme would be second (not on the list).

Rampaging amidst the tarmac, swinging a mighty sword, cometh CanadianChris! And he gives a low cry: "I'm seriously going to pound you into the danger zone!" Apparently, I'm a bland 80s babyface.

Here you go. About halfway down.

Um...where the hell is Slash?

I laughed at this.

Really? I remember seeing Princess Bride for the first time back in 1988, and being surprised that Andre was in it. I don't remember any promos they did with Andre at all.

No, that won't work. There'll still be KaZaa residue left to find even if the program is uninstalled. Honestly, I can't think of anything. If they can catch people using KaZaa, they can probably catch people using P2P software like DirectConnect too.

Precisely. The biggest matches should be on the biggest cards. Based on the last Raw-only PPV, the buyrate's going to be practically non-existant as it is...why waste your money match on a PPV no one is going to see?

Well, the thing of it is, baseball doesn't have tiebreakers, unless both teams are heading to the playoffs regardless (i.e. two teams tie for a division title, but the second-place team would win the wild card). They have one-game playoffs at the end of the season. Remember Randy Johnson reaching for the sky after Seattle finished off California for good in 1995? The Mets beating out the Reds in 2000 for The Wild Card No One Wanted? Heck, even the Shot Heard Round The World in 1951 was in a National League playoff. I would laugh my ass off if they had to do a mini-tournament just to decide who gets to advance to the real thing.

After looking at the standings today, I have just one question... What do they do if there's an eight way tie between the Expos, Phillies, Marlins, Astros, Cardinals, Cubs, Diamondbacks and Dodgers at the end of the season?

So after losing four straight and seemingly falling out of the wild-card chase, Montreal pulls off an improbable four-game sweep of the Phillies to tie them for the wild-card lead (pending a Florida loss, which seems likely as of right now). In the process, they average over 20,000 at Olympic Stadium for the four games, including 20,030 for a Thursday afternoon game(!). Now the questions: - Can the Expos hang on and make their first postseason in 22 years? Their seven games in San Juan certainly aren't going to help, and the schedule isn't terribly favourable, but if they can get through the next four series (@Fla, @Phi, Fla @ SJ, ChC @ SJ), they get seven games against the Mets and finish up at Cincinnati. Certainly doable...and no strike to fuck things up this time around. - WHY can't the Expos find a buyer? I mean, there ARE people with money to throw around on sports teams (witness Eugene Melnyk this week)...if they can get a stadium built, they have a ton of good talent to build around. This could be a very exciting team for years to come, and this week is proving that fans will come out to watch a team with a chance to win. They should average around 25-30K for the two remaining series at the Big O, if they're still in contention when they come back.

I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional. That way they can justify keeping him in the midcard, as he'd be the #6 or 7 face as opposed to the #4 or 5 heel.

Just a word for those of you who can watch... WATCH THIS SHOW if for no other reason than to see the godlike reception that Eddy Guerrero gets on his entrance tonight.

bravesfan posted a few pictures of the thing in this thread, about halfway down the page.

It was a long time ago, and my memory's a bit cloudy, but I'm almost certain they didn't.

I'm predicting a big Fred Ottman retrospective.
