WWE's fine structure for violating the dress code is $500 for the first offense, $1,000 for the second offense, and a suspension for the third offense. Rey Mysterio, D-Von Dudley, and other SmackDown! wrestlers have already reportedly received a fine for violating the code. With the increased stringency of WWE rules, many are complaining that WWE is becoming a "fascist" type of company, with things being run, according to one source, "just as Vince McMahon would want [them]." Obviously, Vince McMahon is "in charge," but the feeling is that Vince and other officials are abusing their power. Credit: Lords of Pain

I didn't know they were still around.

A friend e-mailed me this and since this is the folder for hot political debates, I might as well post it. Worst president in history? Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history. Let's clear up one point: President Bush didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11. Let's look at the worst president and mismanagement claims. FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year. Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year. John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year. Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. Over 2,900 lives lost on 9/11. In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home. Worst president in history? Come on! The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but... It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation. We've been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records. It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick. It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida!!!! (This article appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor. Perhaps this will put things in perspective:)

Rebuttal: How was the HIAC pathetic? It exemplified what a Hell In A Cell SHOULD be: A nice, bloody brawl that puts the Cell to use within the match and having both competitors STAY inside the confines of it. And that was the match that MADE Brock get over with the fans. You may not like Undertaker, but he busted his ass that night.

Whose the new Savio Vega wannabe guy?

Me too.

Well, at NWO, they teased it being Team Angle that attacked him so had Edge stayed on SD with Angle being a heel again, they could have refueded, but we all know how much AS would hate to see that happen again. I wouldn't have minded Lesnar revealing himself to doing it saying something like I didn't Edge to beat Team Angle because he sucks anyway I wouldn't have minded HHH revealing it was Evolution that attacked him backstage for whatever reason either, but Edge / HHH was dropped obviously too. Anyway, if I was Edge and I got my ass kicked and taken out for a year, hell yeah I'd come back and find out first thing who did it just like Austin did.

Do you remember what the song was?

Came across this, figured I'd post it It took George Lucas 21 years, but he's finally using the word ''revenge'' in a movie title. ''Revenge of the Jedi'' was only an early dummy title for 1983's ''Return of the Jedi,'' but ''Star Wars: Episode III,'' due May 19, 2005, is really and truly named ''Revenge of the Sith.'' (Look for the T-shirt on a geek near you.) Even as Lucas and untold hundreds of digital animators continue to tweak ''Episode III,'' a surprising number of details have slipped out, thanks largely to Lucasfilm disclosures on Starwars.com, and less official leaks on fansites such as theforce.net. So hold onto your Jar Jar Binks action figure as we recap what's known so far (other than the fact that someone will definitely call Padmé ''m'lady''): Chewbacca's back-a! Growl! Peter Mayhew, who played Han Solo's fuzzy pal in the original trilogy, will be sweating it out in the hairier-than-Robin-Williams costume again in ''Episode III.'' He'll have company -- at least one sequence will be set on Chewie's home planet, Kashyyyk. But don't fear a reprise of the infamously dreadful ''Star Wars Holiday Special,'' which showed scenes of domestic life on Kashyyyk (including, believe it or not, a sexy Wookiee TV show). ''Revenge of the Sith'' will instead depict Wookiees at war, complete with hirsute soldiers commanding battleships. It's far from clear, though, how we'll recognize Chewbacca among thousands of his brethren, especially since Chewie's name roughly translates to ''raaaargh'' in Wookiee-speak. Space battle After the traditional opening scroll (e.g., ''It's been quite a rough week for the Republic….''), ''Episode III'' will plunge directly into a lasers-a-flyin' spaceship battle, the kind that's been largely missing from the prequels. The conflict – between Republic forces (the good guys) and the Separatists (as led by Count Dooku, remember?) -- will apparently mark the end of the storied Clone Wars, which largely took place between ''Episode II'' and ''Episode III'' (and in an ongoing Cartoon Network miniseries). It will go on for 20 minutes, which, the Force willing, means a long stretch where we get to listen to stuff blowing up instead of Lucas-penned dialogue (''I don't like sand.''). The new bad guy Meet General Grievous: half-alien, half-robot, and all Toys 'R Us bestseller. Grievous, who looks like the offspring of Skeletor and one of Will Smith's ''I, Robot'' nemeses, is the Donald Rumsfeld of the Separatist forces. The aptly named, many-limbed Grievous is capable of attacking with as many as four lightsabers at once, all taken off the corpses of fallen Jedi. And unlike the near-mute Darth Maul, the all-CGI Grevious will actually talk. (Lucasfilm wouldn't comment on reports that Gary Oldman is in negotiations to do the honors.) Jedi vs. Jedi Like the other five ''Star Wars'' movies, ''Revenge of the Sith'' will include a lightsaber fight. But this time, it's Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) throwing down against his former mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) -- and it'll get messy. Stunt coordinator Nick Gillard claimed on Starwars.com that at 12 minutes, the sequence will be ''the longest fight scene in cinematic history.'' (Didn't he see ''Kill Bill''?) And we already know the ending: Anakin loses. According to ''Star Wars'' lore that the new film may or may not follow, the young Jedi-gone-wild will fall into a volcano, which leads to… Vader Volcano or not, Anakin comes out of his duel with Obi-Wan gravely injured: mutilated, if not actually dead. Saving him will require a fitting for a familiar black suit, mask, and breathing apparatus, which means his journey to the dark side will be complete. It also means James Earl Jones will finally get some voiceover work Credit: Entertainment Weekly (EW.com)

The Rock The wrestler-actor visits his mother's native Samoa and returns as a crowned chief Thursday Aug 26, 2004 6:00am EST By Johnny Dodd "They were completely proud of their culture and proud of me," The Rock, who will play a Samoan bodyguard in Be Cool, says of the local islanders. CREDIT: COURTESY STEVE JOHNSTON/SAMOA OFFICE OF TOURISM The Rock is now The Chief. The wrestler turned actor recently visited his mother's native Samoa, where His Highness Malietoa Tanumafili II crowned Dwayne Johnson a high chief. "It was a life-changing moment for me," says the 32-year-old, who spent time visiting the elderly and schoolchildren there. Johnson, who has donated some $50,000 to Samoan causes, recently talked with PEOPLE about his trip, title and really big tattoos. What was it like to be made a chief? It clarified my ties to the royal family when the title was bestowed. It was an incredible life-changing moment that I will never forget. What did you talk about with the King? I told him I was going to carry this title with honor, dignity and, above all else, with pride. He told me, "From this day onward, you will no longer be known as Dwayne but will carry the title of the Son of Malietoa, which means the son of a king. You will leave your boyish ways behind you, as you are now a chief of the Seiuli family, a chief of Samoa." When I heard those words, I was moved. ... It's way deeper than an honorary title. It's blood. I've heard that you're covered with some Samoan tattoos. Is there a story behind them? It's probably the most detailed tattoo you'd ever see. I just finished it up last year. ... My tattoo tells a story about my successes and failure, my strength and warrior spirit, my love for my family, my loyalty to my family, my unwavering want to protect the ones I love, which is why my tattoo acts like a shield that covers a little bit of my chest and down my shoulder and little bit down my back. My grandfather was completely tattooed. It went from his knees to right underneath his neck. It was done old-school style, with a bone and a mallet. The last time you were there, you were a kid. How did it feel going back? I've never cried so much. Never in a million years did I expect that to happen. I wasn't quite sure what to expect . ... The people there are so untouched and uninfluenced by Western culture. Are you planning on going back? I want to go back next time when I can take my friends and family and just drive around. This trip just made me extremely proud of my heritage and culture. I've never been ashamed to say what I am. I am half black and half Samoan. ... There's an old Samoan saying: "It's humbling to be important, but it's more important to be humble." That really epitomizes Samoa.

Statement: I don't know how anyone could call Angle/Lesnar's matches boring. Espically Wrestlemania 19, which told a great story. The matches after that weren't up to par with their Wrestlemania 19 classic, but they weren't boring. I thought people underrate the Ironman match. I mean it wasn't a ***** classic, but it wasn't a bad match. It was **** IMO. Just to add to this, I felt WM 19 told a better story, but the SS rematch was the better match. The Iron Man was okay. Statement: Kane is a draw and should be given a decent title run if they ever decide to make him world champion again.

So Austin officially had the Creed tribute video first? I think the other videos using the same song are hokey (a.k.a. fan made).

SAN FRANCISCO - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) is holding a rummage sale to dispose of unwanted state property from aircraft engines to jewelry. The "California Garage Sale" will take place on Friday and Saturday in the state capital Sacramento and some of the items will also be offered by online auctioneer eBay . The items include office furniture -- most of the state's furniture is made by prisoners -- 30 pounds of scissors, forklifts, knives, expired color film, computers, jewelry, a red 1995 Ford Mustang and even baseball cards. "Some of the stuff may have been confiscated in drug confiscations, by the Department of Justice (news - web sites), or local jurisdictions," said Fred Aguiar, who is overseeing the sale as State and Consumer Services Agency secretary. "Like the red Mustang, that was part of an asset seizure, forfeiture thing." Some items at the sale, said to be the first of its kind for the state, were confiscated at airports. Yet much of what is on offer was purchased by government agencies and eventually fell into misuse or was forgotten about. Although state officials are hoping to bring in millions of dollars in a larger program to dispose of unused assets including property, they would not estimate how much the garage sale would generate. Aguiar says desks would sell for as low as $2, laptop computers for as little as $20 and bargaining would be allowed. As of Wednesday, the Ford Mustang has attracted an eBay bid of $5,600. "Eliminating surplus property is just one way we can work together to clean out the cobwebs of government," Schwarzenegger said in a statement. "I am calling on Californians to participate in this historic opportunity to help us eliminate the excess." The actor-turned governor is seeking to maximize revenues in the cash-strapped state to keep his pledge of no new taxes. Cred: Yahoo.com

This guy might as go on a 7-11 Crusade too.

I never knew there were sequels of the Mummy or the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Seriously.

Summer of 2002 and to quote Staravenger

Speaking of Halo, Red Vs. Blue, a fucking awesome site to check out.

Refs can't count to three and get knocked out easily. You have no friends or family in wrestling as they always wind up turning on you.

Statement: Brock Lesnar played a horrible face.

Just something I've been wondering: After Episode III: Revenge of the Sith gets released on DVD, will there be 2 DVD box sets (one for classics, one for the prequels) or will Lucas re-release it so all 6 SW movies come in DVD box set?

Statement: The praise on this board for Bradshaw is ridiculous. Lets give the title to Jon Heidenreich next shall we?

Hogan, Austin, Goldberg, and Nash would make an awesome stable as the New World Order 2004 Edition.

Hell, even Brock's botched SSP was better looking than any of Kidman's. Too bad Marc Mero isn't around, I like his the best.

Hasn't happened to me, but try reinstalling Windows. See if that works.
