It is an officially recognized title change. Cactus and Funk were stripped of the titles the day after WrestleMania XIV.

Terry Funk

Yashin threatens to go to Russia if he doesn't start getting better offers: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=213273&hubname= You mean we may never have to hear from him again? AWESOME.

Back for another fun-filled season of getting edged out of the Bored Bowl.

The bottom half of that list would, if for no other reason than to further highlight the "wrestlers dying young" epidemic.

All those are good. I always thought Joey Marella was a really good referee. His death was a shame; he'd probably still be refereeing today if not for the accident.

Henrik Lundqvist resigned with the Rangers for one year, $4.25 million.

I doubt anyone would believe anything he would put in it anyway. Has anyone read The Hardcore Diaries yet? I came across it in a bookstore the other day, but didn't have a chance to skim through it.

I think Edmonton would have taken Montreal pretty easily. Then you're looking at five straight Cups, and possibly marking the Oilers as the greatest dynasty in NHL history.

Hold hearings for steroids in football while you're at it. And bodybuilding. May as well waste all of Congress's time instead of just some of it.

Which is worse - Austin beating the sh!t out of Debra for years or Debra speaking about it in an annoying fashion? What does that have to do with anything? Just because Debra was beaten up by her husband, she's allowed to be an annoying bitch on TV and no one can say anything?

Great statement by Jericho -- "You can't tell the story of pro wrestling without Chris Benoit." I wish they'd gotten to the last question on the removal of Benoit from WWE programming, though.

There it is, kind of.

I liked how King seemed to understand -- MUCH more than most commentators on the subject -- that this was likely not just a steroids thing when the subject was brought up. It was funny how he introduced Blackman as a SIX-TIME HARDCORE CHAMPION as if that meant anything, though.

1989 would give it a strong challenge. Tough to overlook 98, also. I don't know...the crap was really starting to overtake the good stuff in WCW by then.

That's awesome. I LOVED this match. I had Judgment Day 2000 on tape, but got rid of it and have been kicking myself since.

That's probably it -- they gave a ton of time to the three title matches on that show. All of them went at least 15 minutes, and Bret and Diesel went about half an hour. Also, if they'd booked Shawn and Davey Boy to start and finish the Rumble all along, they probably had to shorten it so Davey Boy wouldn't keel over at the 50-minute mark.

1989 would give it a strong challenge.

I wouldn't doubt it. It's also possible they just ban serial posters of copyrighted material.

Someone's posting entire Clashes on YouTube. Go watch them before he gets banned.

I HATE the goddamn minimum innings rule. It's a ridiculous rule for a league where rosters can be changed only once a week.

Albuquerque.... high altitude? Meh. Denver or SLC you might have an argument, but Albuquerque? Uh, Albuquerque is way higher than Salt Lake City, and nearly as high as Denver.

If Randy Savage were to show up on one of these interview shows, my life would be complete.

That's not what I said.

He'd go down as the greatest boxer of all time. But I don't think he'd become quite the iconic figure that he did.
