Lil' Bitch

Hmm, World Tag Champ. Euro Champ. Was being used regularly until his retirement. Former world champion also turned into wrestler's wife stalker. It's WWE's fault he sucked in his big match with Hunter? HHH & Steiner didn't have enough pratice for their RR match at house shows so we ended up seeing worst world title match since Nash / Mabel. Its Steiner's fault for having ring rust and doing the same fucking suplexes over and over again. Its WWE's fault for not booking the match enoug times at house shows. Its HHH's fault for not carrying him. Not me, Ernest constantly ragging on Josh is what made Velocity half entertaining back then. Miller > DeMott Who was he against? They DID try --- the un-Americans was designed to get HIM over --- and it bombed. Lance Storm was over when he was paired with Goldust. The moment he got switched to be with Val, the overness died down.

Eddie carried him to a 20 minute match at my house show. Warn your friends. Warn everyone.

My future wrestling gimmick name.

I've been waiting for Gambit for the longest time. Mentioning him in the last movie was merely a cocktease.

And they didn't even announce any new matches for JD? Great...now I HAVE to watch Velocity. *groans

1.) When did Kurt Angle start using the Ankle Lock as his other finisher? 2.) What led to the Angle / Benoit match at WM 17?

How much is a WWE stock worth?

Fucking sweet.

Dan Koster was unpacking some of his more than 2,000 CDs after a move when he noticed something strange. Some of the discs, which he always took good care of, wouldn't play properly. Koster, a Web and graphic designer for Queens University of Charlotte, N.C., took one that was skipping pretty badly and held it up to the light. "I was kind of shocked to see a constellation of pinpricks, little points where the light was coming through the aluminum layer," he says. His collection was suffering from "CD rot," a gradual deterioration of the data-carrying layer. It's not known for sure how common the blight is, but it's just one of a number of reasons that optical discs, including DVDs, may be a lot less long-lived than first thought. "We were all told that CDs were well-nigh indestructible when they were introduced in the mid '80s," Koster says. "Companies used that in part to justify the higher price of CDs as well." He went through his collection and found that 15 percent to 20 percent of the discs, most of which were produced in the '80s, were "rotted" to some extent. The rotting can be due to poor manufacturing, according to Jerry Hartke, who runs Media Sciences Inc., a Marlborough, Mass., laboratory that tests CDs. The aluminum layer that reflects the light of the player's laser is separated from the CD label by a thin layer of lacquer. If the manufacturer applied the lacquer improperly, air can penetrate to oxidize the aluminum, eating it up much like iron rusts in air. But in Hartke's view, it's more common that discs are rendered unreadable by poor handling by the owner. "If people treat these discs rather harshly, or stack them, or allow them to rub against each other, this very fragile protective layer can be disturbed, allowing the atmosphere to interact with that aluminum," he says. Part of the problem is that most people believe that it's the clear underside of the CD that is fragile, when in fact it's the side with the label. Scratches on the underside have to be fairly deep to cause skipping, while scratches on the top can easily penetrate to the aluminum layer. Even the pressure of a pen on the label side can dent the aluminum, rendering the CD unreadable. Koster has taken to copying his CDs on his computer to extend the life of the recordings. Unfortunately, it's not easy to figure out how long those recordable CDs will work. Fred Byers, an information technology specialist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has looked at writeable CDs on behalf of government agencies, including the Library of Congress (news - web sites), that need to know how long their discs will last. Manufacturers cite lifespans up to 100 years, but without a standardized test, it's very hard to evaluate their claims, Byers says. The worst part is that manufacturers frequently change the materials and manufacturing methods without notifying users. "When you go to a store and buy a DVD-R, and this goes for CD-R as well, you really don't know what you're getting," he says. "If you buy a particular brand of disc, and then get the same disc and brand six months later, it can be very different." This renders the frequently heard advice to buy name-brand discs for maximum longevity fairly moot, he says. DVDs are a bit tougher than CDs in the sense that the data layer (or layers — some discs have two) is sandwiched in the middle of the disc between two layers of plastic. But this structure causes problems of its own, especially in early DVDs. The glue that holds the layers together can lose its grip, making the disc unreadable at least in parts. Users that bend a DVD to remove it from a hard-gripping case are practically begging for this problem, because flexing the disc puts strain on the glue. Rewriteable CDs and DVDs, as opposed to write-once discs, should not be used for long-term storage because they contain a heat-sensitive layer that decays much faster than the metal layers of other discs. For maximum longevity, discs should be stored vertically and only be handled by the edges. Don't stick labels on them, and in the case of write-once CDs, don't write on them with anything but soft water-based or alcohol-based markers. Also, like wine, discs should be stored in a cool, dry place. Koster's friend Mark Irons, of Corvallis, Ore., stored his CD collection in a cabin heated by a wood-burning stove. The temperature would range between 40 degrees and 70 degrees in the space of a few hours. Now, the data layer of some of his CDs looks as if it's being eaten from the outside. Irons is still pretty happy with CD technology, since it beats vinyl LPs and tape for longevity. Now that he's moved his discs to an apartment with a more stable temperature, he's noticed that the decay has slowed. "I'm hoping they'll hold out till that next medium gets popular, and everyone gets to buy everything over again," he says. Credit: Yahoo.com I'm all worried about my CDs and DVDs now.

Man, that really sucks. I hope you get better, Earthquake. I will never forget you trying to kill Hulkamania.

Damn, I wish I was in the UK right now. Why can't WWE release these in the States yet? >_<

Holy shit! I think we have a new record for a firing.

With Jericho having "settled" his feud with Christian, if he does not win the battle royal, I have no idea what he would be doing on the Bad Blood card.

What the fuck is up with the two hour edits?

Upon watching the WM DVD and comparing to an online copy I got off Kazaa, WWE actually edited out 2 minutes worth of the Goldberg / Lesnar match. They also cut short Austin's little beer bash in the ring after the match along with the stupid little ATV ride back up the ramp. If that isn't a work of editing skills, I dunno what is.

Oh man, this interview is fucking gold!!!

So I finally watched a copy of the match, I missed the show last night due to my boss making me work late, anyways I have to give it to Christian, he bladed like a fucking man last night. It was a big win for Chris Jericho, IMO. It would definitely be sweeter if he won the battle royal next week coming off such a high profile victory. Whoever wants it, just PM me. Who was he supposed to defend it against?

I always did wonder why they stopped at 8. You figured they would have made 9 by now. Ah well, I'll get it.

Me too, I'm hoping for a decent 10 - 15 minute match very similar to what I saw at my house show that involved a clean finish. But now that you guys mention it, I'm sure Mordecai will infact debut on the PPV. It was only 4 years ago, they kept showing the UT promos (even though you weren't supposed to know its him) and it kept saying the judgment day is approaching or something and low and behold he appears at JD. I'm expecting the same with Mordecai since they're adveritising him in the same way. What would be nice is Booker does beat the Undertaker so at The Great American Bash or Vengeance we get Booker / Guerrero and Mordecai / Undertaker. Seven may be another shitty hoss wrestler, but damn I thought the Mordecai character itself was pretty interesting. Very elaborate intro I must say, I hope its the same one he does on the PPV.

Nice message to send to your fans, assholes.

Please include who are the team captains.

I notion this thread be moved to HD.

I'm hoping for every single PPV ever, even the garbage ones.
