Come on Barron, they're the same movie. One with black people, one with white. They're both basically VH1 biopics with bigger budgets. Not to say that's a bad thing since I'm always entertained by those damn things. I disagree completely. Ray was a complete whitewash of his life acting like Ray Charles was this great man who happened to have a drug problem. It totally ignores the fact that he divorces Kerry Washington two years after the movie ends. I felt Walk the Line was more authentic in its portrayal of Cash. It wasn't afraid to show him as an asshole whose drug use nearly ruined his life.

I didn't like that aside from the Mets v. Braves game, the documentary almost ignored the Mets role in the post 9/11 healing process. I found the Mets attempt at getting into the postseason way more inspiring than a bland Yankee team that had the division wrapped up in August. While they ended up falling way short, the Mets won 8 out 9 post 9/11. That's pretty impressive. I always found the 2001 World Series was God's way of making up for what I had to go through in 4 out of the last 5 years. Sure, it sucked that the Braves didn't win but it was great to finally it happen to the other side.

Yeah it's hilarious to hear people wanting to see their hometown team win a World Series in the city of 9/11. You forgot that alot of the people who went to the games and were being interviewed lost a relative, friend, coworker, neighbor etc on 9/11. You forgot that millions of people were able to get their minds off of real life during the Yankees run in 2001. That was a healing/coping treat for a majority of NYC. Yeah it's real hilarious for tens of thousands of people who had someone close to them be murdered to find a little solitude in baseball. I had almost 15 people from my hometown including a girl I went to high school with and a Police Officer die on 9/11. I am going to go watch my 96 and 99 World Series highlight videos and laugh at the Braves. I am going to laugh at the hillbilly redneck retard who says before game five that Smoltz is gonna win. I am going to laugh at Ken Merker giving up the game winning homerun to Chad Curtis in game 3 of 99. Yankee fans are so touchy. I thought the post-9/11 "Hey's let root for the Yankees now!" stuff was so phony and fake. I'm a Saints fan, and I thought everyone jumping on the Saints bandwagon and going OMG THE NEW AMERICA'S TEAM was tacky as well. Post-9/11 what helped get me back to normalcy was continuing my annual tradition of rooting hard for the Yankees to lose in October, and it felt so good to finally see them get theirs in 01. And I found it funny hearing a bunch of people talking about how much the Yankees winning would've meant to them, knowing they lost in a such a gut punching way. A documentary about Sox fans in 03, Cardinal fans in 85, Wildcat fans in 92 would be funny for the same reason. Also, feel free to watch Mercker give up the home run, since it wasn't him on the mound. I think you would know that.

I'll respond to the 9/11 stuff later- I was watching Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS with my roomate who never watched baseball, and didn't know anything about it. As they start getting to Pedro, I'm getting really tense and my roomate turns to me and goes: Shouldn't they take him out? That's how bad it is. My roomate, who had never really watched baseball- even he knew to take Pedro out! When Aaron Boone hit the HR, I punched the wall so hard that I made a mark that is still there. I think an interesting discussion would be top 5 or 10 games of the decade. The 18-inning Braves-Astros game is up there too, though I refuse to believe that game actually happened

It's epic, but come on....Clemens-Schelling in the duel to end all duels, Soriano's HR letting the air out of the stadium and then the magical bottom of the 9th. I lost my voice screaming at the end.

I don't even remember that, which shows how much of an impact it had on me. But really, Mariano Rivera gagging the Yankees chances to 4-peat with 2 outs to go less than two months after 9/11- even if you're not a Yankee hater, that's still pretty memorable

He debuted at the 1994 Royal Rumble

I'm talking about 2001, when seeing the Yankees get theirs was so sweet, especially given they had won 4 out of their last 5. In the documentary, it was hilarious hearing people talk about the Yankees really deserved this one and had to win....when they just had won the previous three! While the Boston collapse is great, nothing will top Bottom of the 9th Game 7 2001. Seeing it again in a documentary was great

dumb ass How does that make me a dumbass? Why do you think I bought the 2001 World Series DVD? because you're a fag ? First of all, please use the shift button if you're going to insult me. Thank you. I did not know that my joy in the Yankees losing in 2001 means that I enjoy the company of men, or am a British cigarette. Thank you for enlightening me.

I'm making a steak and stouffer's chipped beef to put on top of it. Y'all are going down

I've drank soda a few times, but I hate the taste of it.

The comics folder used to also be for literature until a thread was created in general chat for no reason. I don't go to the comics folder, but if the posters in the comics folder enjoy the status quo, let them keep on rocking

Am I the only one who remembers the greatness that is FromBeyondtheGrave? Come on! Who? Hottbutter Toasterspoon? I thought FBTG was TheGame2705. Unless all three are the same guy

Welcome to professional wrestling!

dumb ass How does that make me a dumbass? Why do you think I bought the 2001 World Series DVD?

I agree with this. I've never really heard of a good explanation for the move, since most of the posters who posted in the 24-7 threads wanted it in General Wrestling. It was something the mods do occasionally that bother me- make a move just for the sake of making a move, without input from the posters. You should get 24-7, it's great.

Soda is awful. I've never drank it

Yes, we've established that TNA should have its own folder. 24/7 should be a subfolder of General Wrestlng like it was before. There was no reason to move it to begin with.

You were at the game? Ouch dude. I'm thankful I took my trip to Vancouver in December

No, the movie is by the Wayans Bros. Nah, the movie's already getting medicore reviews.

A portion of the crowd boos him out of the building.

The password is....gravy

That's right, but face Cena is working so well, that there's no reason to fix it. With Hogan turning heel, his days as a top face draw in WCW were coming to an end. Fans hated him, and they weren't paying to see him anymore. So a heel turn and freshening up his character was needed. Cena's still raking in the cash.

While I get that the story is the Nation not getting along, Faarooq eliminating Henry like that is stupid. Henry's elimination looked botched overall. I think they could've pulled off The Nation Explodes story a little better. Have them team up at first and be a dominating force, and then some miscommunication results in chaos. Austin eliminating Mero will never not be amazing.

It's comparing apples and oranges, and that was only because of an insane marketing push that was really never before seen in wrestling.
