Matt Young

If you're in or near Illinois, New Midwest Wrestling (www.newmidwest.com) is excellent. I used to train with those guys and go to all the shows, but I was a fan before I became friends with the workers, and I can say without bias that their shows offer some of the best wrestling you'll see in the US for a cost of $8 per show. Check out one of their DVDs if you don't believe me. Back on topic, I really need to get to LA for one of these shows. The only problem is that I have no car, and while I can take the Metrolink to LA, it doesn't run late enough to get me home. Any TSM members willing to give me a couch or floor to crash on after a show until I can take the train back to Riverside in the morning? Heh, doubtful...

Jesus Christ, that has to hurt. I got a staple in my thumb when I was about 5 and that wasn't too pleasant. Thumb injuries also=no video games, another downside.

Two lottery protected first round draft picks.

Damn... I made a meaningless observation while drunk regarding the fact that clothes I bought in junior high now fit me again. I never expected it to turn into a legitimate jersey discussion, lol, or else I wouldn't have posted it in Hardcore Discussion. Anyway, I also have a Brett Favre jersey and a red Steve McNair jersey from the Tennessee Titans' stadium store.

Since I didn't see anyone mention it, Damon Stoudamire signed with the Memphis Grizzlies.

It's looking very good to me. It will likely be the first PPV I've paid full price for (discounting all those I saw by throwing in $5 with my friends) in years... although there are others I would have ordered if I had had money back then.

Since when do they make PPV posters that actually have to do with what happens on the show? Heh... I like it, and I always enjoy the matches between those two.

Damn Matt, that sucks. I somehow missed this post before. Hopefully my comment on MySpace cheered you up. Haha, probably not. But I hope you recover quickly. I've never broken anything, but I've heard that sprains are often more painful than breaks. I know that when I sprained my ankle, it was excruciating when I put any weight on it. Did you actually sprain anything, or was it "just" a contusion?

Shit! I love her music and her body. She's one of the most beautiful women around, the same age as me, and an incredibly talented musician. She was right up there with Ashlee Simpson on the list of women I intended to shag rotten after hitting it big with my music career.

What was the deal with Vince McMahon in 1994-1995 when, during every Bret Hart match he announced, he'd utter phrases such as, "Fans, if this is the last time we ever see the great Bret Hart wrestle, blah blah blah" and other such statements implying that his career was seemingly going to end with every halfway impactful move he took? My memory of the storylines from back then is fuzzy since I was only 10-11 years old.

I just turned 21 on Saturday and I'm already dreading my 30th birthday.

Credit: CheapAssGamer I wanted to pass this deal along to those who could use it. Each store has a minimum of 225 systems, and they are at this price today and tomorrow. I've been wanting a PS2 for a while now, but there are no Meijers in California, so a price match is out of the question. If someone could pick one up for me, I'll pay you via PayPal or your preferred method and even throw in some E3 swag or something to make it worth your while. My birthday is Saturday... anyone feel like doing a good deed for a fellow TSMer? Please?

Sorry Agent. I misinterpreted the post as saying that you had already told people's futures, but that I had permission to "steal" your idea or whatever. I'm getting a bottle tonight and going out to the bar as usual tomorrow night for 40% off beer, so I'll do yours one of the two nights, even if it was "one night only".

I'm drinking heavily and watching the Ric Flair Collection while Black Sabbath plays in the background. Reply here or IM me at X Matt Young X on AIM and I will give you your fortune/future. I'll even call you to deliver it if you want. Free long distance. This is all because Kotz went to sleep. Blame him.

Ditto.

I'll be watching from just around the corner, bottle of liquor in one hand, dick in the other.

I'm pretty sure Matt knows how to properly pronounce Lita's name, and the rest of us were wrong by assuming it was pronounced "doo-moss".

Shitty match, but that was a sick ass camera shot.

Michaels was gold in that promo. Fucking amazing. Again, like with Matt/Edge... I'm a Bret Hart fan. He's my favorite of all time. I've always wanted to hate Michaels, although I respect his in ring work greatly. But he has been amazing lately. I haven't paid full price for a PPV (unless you count my ticket to WrestleMania 21) in years, although I have gone to sports bars or thrown in $5 toward the cost of many shows, but Hogan/HBK and Matt Hardy/Edge have sold me on SummerSlam.

Well, you took it like a sport, so that's cool. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, of course... no hard feelings at all.

I'm both a hopeless romantic and a vengeful ex, as well as a mark who still loves the product more than most things in life. I make no apologies for being that way.

Despite the fact that I love Edge as a performer, and he was an extremely good guy when I met him.... as a longtime Mattitude Follower who has followed the situation since day 1, as well as someone who has been cheated on by a woman I expected to spend the rest of my life with, I was shaking during that promo. That was one of the most emotional, surreal, and downright coolest things I have ever seen in wrestling. I'll remember that promo for the rest of my life.

That I can understand, but they kind of need her for the whole Hardy/Edge feud.

That Steve-O commercial was NOT wanted I wanted to see while eating dinner. Anyway, this has been an entertaining Raw so far. Tatanka was good for a brief markout moment, and *gulp* I'm starting to really enjoy Chris fucking Masters.

That's not the issue, though. A lot of substances which are banned in sports can have positive effects. Whether wrong or right, if they're against the rules, the player who violates the policy should be punished according to the standard that has been set.
