Silence

Yeah. That's what I was basing it on. To AndrewTS: Didn't Yukes/THQ remove Rikishi a few months before SVR 1 was released last year since WWE had released Rikishi around that time? Or is Jericho still in because he's always been a bigger name than Rikishi?

I wonder if Yukes/THQ will have time to remove him from SVR 2006? Not that I'd desperately want Jericho out of the game, obviously, but the game would seem slightly a few months outdated if he were still in.

Worst case scenario: Austin and Hogan shake hands after whoever wins the match, despite Austin talking shit to Hogan previously.

I'm guessing that Matt Hardy really couldn't continue on with the match, so no, not really.

It actually makes the Austin-HHH Two-Man Powertrip after their heated rivalry in 2001 seem like a good idea by comparison. About Vince/Bret, Downhome: Good point, but Bret's conflict with Vince ended a while back anyway, despite the obvious Montreal '97 Screwjob that turned Bret and Vince into bitter rivals for a while. Matt Hardy's "hatred" for WWE and Vince was just several months ago.

What the hell's with all the illogical handshakes in WWE lately? First Matt Hardy with Vince, now HBK with Hogan?! Before the end of this year, we're probably going to see Eddie shake Rey's hand. Damn, the writing truly sucks now in WWE.

So HBK was a heel for a short time just to shake Hogan's hand after jobbing to him tonight at Summerslam? I felt like fucking puking after seeing that, especially now that HBK is going to be the face Holy Bible Kid again. Porter knew exactly what he was talking about when he mentioned about the WWE guy telling him about "Not getting critical", unfortunately.

Michaels laughed after seeing Yokozuna beat Hogan at KOTR 1993 and said that Hogan was a "dinosaur". That's about all I can remember.

That sounds much better than a millionth Team Canada Tag Team title match. BTW, I know the Tag Team titles weren't on the line at Sacrifice since it was an 8-man Tag Team match with Team Canada vs. The Naturals and AMW, although that's one of the few times the titles are defended on a TNA PPV. Nonetheless, I still hate seeing Team Canada still involved with the Tag Team Champions all the time.

That's what I was wondering, too. I think one of the posters here might have had a sig advertisement for something along the lines of a "Smarks Workrate Forum". Is that it?

Has anyone seen Reservoir_Kitty lately? I think the last time she posted here on TSM was in January or February of this year. What about Jingus?

CWM, Goodear, and La Parka Your Car? What happened to them? CWM might be searching for gnomes again.

OK, thanks. I just thought of netslob and Rob E. Dangerously. When's the last time they've posted?

So we're not counting posters who have been MIA for a while, but rather in recent months/this year? I guess we'll go with that, then, if I can think of anymore names.

I almost forgot to mention Loss. Where the hell's he been lately?

Memebers who have suddenly been missing from TSM: -Red Hot Thumbtack in the Eye -2GOLD -Reservoir_Kitty -La Parka Your Car -Goodear -Rob E. Dangerously Edit: I found Incandenza. He posted in the Music forum today.

That can be accomplished better without restholds and basic headlocks, though, since half of the heel roster on both shows do them anyway, and those moves just aren't effective enough.

It's probably something to do with Arn Anderson in WWE, just like all the other name changes.

I thought it was just an OK match at best. Orton did too many headlocks and slowed the match down whereas Benoit's offense kept the action going. Benoit did the Sharpshooter way too much, though, and had slightly poor execution on it the third time with the kneeling position. Orlando Jordan's interference didn't help, either, even though he's defending the US title against Benoit at Summerslam. That "sling to the turnbuckle into a falling headbutt on the opponent" spot from Benoit was innovative, though. Aside from that, the Benoit/Orton Smackdown match is nothing compared to their Raw match from last year.

We'd also see WWE having Stacy dominate Victoria in any match they have against each other, despite Victoria having more talent than Stacy.

Right. Before he was officially "re-signed" in WWE, he was telling WWE to kiss his ass and to "go see him in ROH". Then, when Vince (who fired Matt several months ago just because Edge fucked Lita behind Matt's back during that time) hired Matt back on Raw, Matt shook his hand. BTW, is it better to refer to Matt Hardy as "Matt" or "Hardy", just like most people do for Jeff in TNA? I actually don't like referring to wrestlers by their first names most of the time.

RD laughs way too damn much. "Heh heh heh, Ashley from the 2005 Diva Search looked like a trannie in the Hot Dog Eating contest, heh heh heh heh!"

How do you expect Nickelodeon reject writers to build wrestling feuds up well? That's why Matt Hardy/Edge has been blown, although it doesn't help that Matt's promo delivery has been horrible so far, either.

Marks don't like Chris Masters: They fall asleep as soon as his entrance hits. "Jay" is just a bitter anti-smark jackass.

If you're on dial-up, I would try disconnecting and then re-connecting to the Internet. Although you being able to access TSM and not being able to access other sites afterwards is confusing, so I'm not sure if I could help you there.
