Only The Strong Survive

Show made a good point, but I think that his last comments take his opinion in a different direction. They may have all busted their asses to make Lesnar look like a monster, but they still were able to take a brand lacking talent and any sense of entertaiment and turn it around (somewhat) yet again. The pushes of Bradshaw and Cena, along with the Cabinet and Angle's cronies, the main event scene is revitalized. The mid-card is still a disaster, but that'll come around to. Brock was very useful, but they didn't need him.

That's the spirit!

Yes, you spelt "article" right.

Someone told me that Dimebag Darrell had no talent and was useless. Yeah that pissed me off just a bit.

The jump from their debut to Toxicity was quite the gap. They somehow pumped out really catchy radio singles while still staying somewhat heavy and keeping their really really weird lyrics intact. Their first album was so much better though, and it doesn't seem like the SOAD of old is going to come back anytime soon.

Who?

Even though I am a huge Zakk Wylde fan, I agree that he puts out way too many albums within too short of a time span. It's time for him to take a little break from writing songs for a while.

Steelers, Falcons, Vikings, Patriots

Machine Head - "Davidian" - Burn My Eyes Stuck Mojo - "Pigwalk" - Pigwalk Metallica - "Fight Fire With Fire" - Ride The Lightning Slipknot - "(Sic)" - Slipknot (second track, but the first song) Chevelle - "The Clincher" - This Kind Of Thinking (Could Do Us In)

I don't know why, but I read that whole thing. Maybe it's just the masochist in me. Quite a pointless rant as these are all points that have been brought up countless times before.

That actually makes sense considering the booking during that Tough Enough cross-dressing segment. I wouldn't worry much about Holly hurting Puder though. Congratulations to Matt Hardy for his recovery as well.

Yeah. He hit his head on the glass ceiling when he tried to ascend to Heaven. They really should do something about that name. At least add one of those things (the name of the punctuation or whatever escapes me) over a letter, like in "ñ". Funny joke though an accent? Umlaut? He means a tilda.

At IYH in December 1995, who was Ted Dibiase's evil Santa Claus?

I don't know what Ian expects from metal culture. Anything that can become corporate, will become corporate. And with the Dimebag situation, anything that can be used for personal gain (be it face time or money or notoreity), will be used. It's the expected practice.

You got DSL? Congratulations. Now when you get sick of the slow speeds in about three days, it'll be time to get cable.

Le'ts just stick with red and green and be done with it.

The Dolphins played some scary D for a team that doesn't even have a hope of making the play-offs. Leave it to the Patriots to blow a big win in a game they could have easily dominated.

Don't forget alternative-metal and punk-metal and hardcore and metalcore and rap-metal...

I think they confirmed that no other band member was hurt.

I got into Pantera about 2 years ago and quickly bought all of their albums, becoming a very dedicated fan. I've been listening to them even up until now. Hell, I popped in Far Beyond Driven just a few days ago. Dimebag Darrell is one of my idols as far as guitarists goes, and I can't believe this happened. Fuck that guy, I'm just glad he wasn't able to hurt too many people. I'm pissed off.

i didn't think Benoit bladed because I saw the blood, but they didn't focus on it like they usually do when someone blades. I know it was in the heat of the moment, but Triple H really should have toned it down just a little bit.

So... when will Smith and Reeves make their debuts as bland steroi-junkie wrestlers after having lame gimmicks in OVW? I want Puder to stiff out The Miz like nobody's business.

Looks like Batista in line for that monster push everyone wants him to get. Orton was on the Vengeance poster before winning the title. I like the poster just the same. That Rumble poster is kind of cool but also sort of... lame. The slogan is definitely the lame part.

Was there even a point in having the European title? Was it like a belt below I-C? Because it seemed just as, if not more, useless than that title became.
