Matt Young

Okay, he didn't sell it like a finisher should be sold. You never saw anyone counter Shawn's pinfalls after a SCM where he just lackadaisically laid on a dude. If they weren't going to have Jeff win, they should've just gone with A fuck finish with Vladimir Kozlov interfering. ... Speak of the devil.

Happy 27th to JAxlMorrison!

Wow, Triple H no sold the swanton. Fuck that finish.

Hey, you never know. It makes sense for the ladder match to go on last, but a heel will likely be winning and it would make more sense for this to be last if Jeff was winning. But I hope I'm wrong.

Fazzle- Apparently, Jake has a YouTube channel:

Well, since this isn't last, no title change.

Nice counter into the DDT.

6 man tag? Fuck yeah! EDIT: Or not.

Good promos, good matches... What do you NOT see?

Oh, dammit. I had hoped Vickie was done for good.

I was on the phone during the first 2 matches and didn't get to pay as much attention as I'd have liked, but the match results were desirable, anyway.

FINALLY the Sox hold a lead and win a game. If they can pull out Game 4 in Chicago, it'll be a one game series.

Nah, there are dozens of streams that are advertised, but only a handful end up working. There's no way of knowing until the show starts.

It doesn't start for an hour and a half. I thought you guys got free PPVs over there.

Finally the White Sox score some runs after loading the bases with no outs. This is the 4th or so time in the series where they have loaded the bases with 1 out or no outs and they were lucky if they got 1 run in their previous attempts. The biggest reason by far that the White Sox lost the first 2 games was that they left double digit runners on base.

What was the purpose of that smartass comment? I know your gimmick is to be a douchebag, but I've never said anything about you. I was 13 when I went to my first WWF house show in 1997. I had watched the organization for 7 years prior, but could never get my parents to take me to a show since the nearest ones were Champaign (over an hour) and St. Louis (almost 2 hours).

My predictions: Matt Hardy Beth Phoenix Rey Mysterio The Big Show Batista Chris Jericho I want to say Jeff Hardy. With Hardy/HHH, it depends on placement. The ladder match will be the best match, but if Hardy's winning, his match should go on last. If not, ladder match goes last. If Jeff is getting the belt, I'd place the ladder match 3rd to last with the Women's title match in between.

The bird's just trying to get its 15 minutes of fame.

I thought wrestling "won" because, due to its predetermined nature, the business is more likely and capable of producing entertaining, competitive matchups as opposed to cards full of boring crap. That's why I prefer wrestling, even though I enjoy both. That's not to say the EliteXC show was boring crap, but rather that I have seen MMA shows that were. Happens in wrestling, too, though. Not trying to knock the sport at all. Last night's show was actually really entertaining aside from the main event. Oh yeah- I know I'm a noob, but I had no idea that Gina Carano was a fighter. I just knew she was on American Gladiators due to BL's signature. She's quite the fighter... and fucking gorgeous.

I don't know what's up with Green Bay. We've got Chargers/Dolphins (which I did want to see) and Giants/Seahawks (boo) here.

Yeah, you mentioned him on Xbox Live but you didn't say "Jake Manning". I know a lot of the guys from NMW since I trained there briefly and attended all their shows, although Jake started working for them after my training was done. He wrestled as Mr. Elite and was part of the stable, 4GQ. There are no videos I could find online of Jake in NMW, but here is one of him in another local promotion facing off against my friend Danny, also from NMW: http://www.vidilife.com/video_play_945481_...nning_Great.htm I haven't talked to him in a long time. I don't think I ever re-added him after my old MySpace was deleted. *goes to find him*

Who has heard about this? I've been planning to read the book, and I just heard about the 7 part miniseries on HBO which starts on Sunday. Both cover Rolling Stone journalist Evan Wright's experience as an embedded reporter with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion‎ during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His account of life with the Marines was originally published as a three-part series in Rolling Stone in the fall of 2003, according to Wikipedia. I won't be able to watch the miniseries due to not having HBO, but I'd rather read the book first anyway. Any thoughts from thos who may have already read it? Thoughts on the miniseries?

I feel badly for the Cubs because, barring a miracle, it seems likely that my grandma and grandpa will die without seeing them win the Series. Of course, that can be said about many people and their family members over the years. I am not rooting for them, but I can't really find much joy in seeing them suffer. Well, except for imagining Czech's reaction. But fuck, the Sox aren't doing much better. Bad postseason for Chicago baseball. It's the first time in 102 years that both teams are in, and they're both in danger of being swept.

Shit doesn't air here till 9 Pacific. It'll be my first EliteXC show. Combined with UFC 86 (which I missed when it aired) and this is a good night of MMA.

Do CPU franchises sell sponsorships and change stadium names? Because I played week 1 of the 2009 season in my franchise at Pittsburgh, and the game was played at "Snickers Stadium".
