I agree completely, and add baseball to the list too. (stupid TSN)

Fla. Court Rules It’s Legal for Press to Lie
Highland replied to EdwardKnoxII's topic in Current Events
I take it the States have very weak libel and slander laws, or at least they're non-existant in Florida. -
Sable, Goldberg, Triple H Make 'Most Annoying' Lis
Highland replied to EdwardKnoxII's topic in The WWE Folder
My point was I'd use a stronger term than 'annoying' to describe how I feel about him. -

And how the fuck are people like bin Laden, Al'Qaeda, Himmler, NAMBLA, etc. only considered annoying? To be an annoyance is something I find irritation, but not to the point I feel the need to see them dead. "Hey the Osama guy? Yeah, he really annoys me." -

Well, it looks like Edwards is leading in at least one poll..... -
Selma Blair To Play Lois Lane In Superman?
Highland replied to EdwardKnoxII's topic in Television & Film
The biggest question that needs to be asked is: Will we ever SEE this movie? How many years has it been since we all first heard about it, way back when James Cameron was trying to put the idea across? -
Another problem with Dr. Rice is the democrats will claim she isn't a typical stereotyped african american and is in fact (excuse the term) an oreo. Though if there were to be a serious female candidate for the Oval office, it would be her. Bear in mind also that any potential female candidate would be placed under much more intense scrutiny than their male counterparts. The DNC needs to stay as far away from Gore as possible, they don't need or want him to run in 2008, and that goes double for Hillary. I'm still sticking with Edwards as the DNC nominee if 2008, but the ones for the GOP that'd I'd like to pick (McCain, Rice and Powell) are for various reasons not running or are unfeasible.

I think it would be better if the favouratism and double standards came to an end, maybe if everyone here was treated the same by the rules there'd be less bitching my other people. -shrug-

November is still a long way off.

McCain will be the GOP nominee in 2008 and I think Edwards will be the nominee for the DNC (assuming he does respectable this time around)

Orton should be put totally over Foley. Why? Because that is the point of bringing back an old worker for a short stint: to put over the younger talent be it Orton or someone else. At least Foley is willing to put someone else over, even at his own expense, though too bad the same can't be said about Austin or any number of veterans.

How bad is the Raw locker room anyway? Is it WCW bad or is the Torch taking everything out of context (as almost always)? I don't see why anyone backstage would be upset or jealous of Benoit, he's not some rookie and has more than earned his main event spot on the roster. Hmm, perhaps management is worried that Holly would try some backstage shit on Benoit and end up getting Sabu'ed. Again.

I watched some WCW and was even a fan of the original nwo angle as well as Booker T, but all in all the only thing I miss about WCW was that it gave me an alternative to WWF; something sorely lacking today.

When was the last big animated summer movie from Disney? Was it Tarzan? That's the last one I liked anyway.

On some occasions, which have been few and far between recently, there have been good discussions. And usually they're sparked up by a Mario, or a Johnson, or an Eagan. Someone who can prompt a poster to actually write his point of view down. Now, on the other hand, all the volatile posters have been banned, and so this folder is full of gimps like JSYK, Mole and Damaramu posting shit. I'd raather they get banned than a Mario, Johnson or Eagan. Good. Go join them.

The world handed to him? Odd, I haven't seen him in a world title match yet, his only connection to the main event is being part of Evolution and so far the only "legends" he's "killed" are washed-up has-beens. Where the fuck is this uber-push everyone is bitching about? Until you see him in a world title match or laying out someone like HBK clean don't tell me he's being shoved down our throats. He's a mid-carder being pushed as a midcarder. That explains why, despite his complete lack of heat, he is on every show several times, gets longer matches than most everyone else, wins every match he is in clean, and is in a main event program with Mick Foley. Because he's being pushed as a midcarder. Meaningless midcard matches, except for the one with RVD. Oh, wait now you'll tell me RVD carried him all through the match because of that concussion, but if he didn't have one and he had to carry RVD (as is usually the case) we'd be hearing "How hard is it to carry RVD to a match?"

I'd say make him go into detail about his relationship with Debra, but that would work. The fans will never jeer Austin so long as Lawler and JR constantly give him verbal blowjobs for every action he takes, be it stunning Stacy or just generally holding the real talent down. As it is right now, Austin could do a Nazi gimmick and I guarantee you most of the fans there would be doing the out-stretched arm salute and chanting "Heil Austin!" only because it's Stone Cold.

You hit the nail right on the head, rawmvp.

I think we're all making too big a deal over the legitimacy (or lack thereof) of the Raw belt. After reading the SD! spoilers I now think Benoit's move to Raw is a good thing, as they can now push both Eddie and Benoit for world title shots at the biggest event of the year no less. And consider this for Benoit's reasoning to go after the Raw title: He'll be facing either HBK or HHH, neither of whom to my knowledge he has beaten and who are considered by many wwe fans (especially HBK) to be the very best. He's already proven he can beat Brock, so no he wants to beat HBK and HHH and win the title in the process.

Matt Morgan injured at Smackdown house show...
Highland replied to Placebo Effect's topic in The WWE Folder
But, here's the thing. During TE the trainers keep telling the kids you have to trust your opponent and help to protect them. So here comes Holly and he wrestles a match with Matt and goes batshit on him. He doesn't try to protect him, he just goes stiff on him and beats the crap out him because he was pissed about what happened with Brock and that this young punk got into wrestling the "easy way." He beat on a rookie because he knew the rookie would be to scared to fight back and to show him who's boss. Perfect explanation of why that moment in TE sucked more than the rest of them did. It made total bullshit out of everything Snow and DeMott told them about keeping everyone safe. He also had to worry about being ejected if he made any move to fight back against Holly. He probably thought it better to just take it instead of jeopardising his chances at a contract. -
I think that if someone is retired or doesn't work for that company anymore, then using their finisher is fairgame. Simple.
