Damn- If there were more posts like Loss' in the New Questions thread then the WWE folder would definetley be improved. Excellent post Loss. I learned a lot

Not the best evidence in the world- but there you go. Also- Naibus didn't hijack the thread. It's a stupid thread to begin with and none of the comments in the thread had anything to do with the original post.

Okay- but assuming if the guy was warned he obviously hasn't listened and is one of the cancers of the folder. And I believe Mulatto showed he was a PBP in another thread.

But the topic is dead to begin with. It's a stupid topic anyway. And about what humongous said to Besus- How Besus hasn't been warned for rule #3 is beyond me.

People like humongous2002 give the WWE folder a bad name since they just have this straight like smark opinion and can never back up anything they say.

Tajiri was the ref for Noble v. Nidia. Noble won with a rollup. Nidia got all upset at Tajiri afterwards and Noble assisted her in kicking his ass. They fought at No Mercy and Noble won

In terms of getting fired- can't think of any. Dana Carvey left in the middle of the season though.

Burn zing slam right there. I think Megan Mullally was funny but her voice is really annoying. It could be worse though. SNL could get Christina Agulera to host. Oh wait....they did. I enjoyed the zings even though I did feel the slams were not up to the level of the zings

Shit- treble charged is getting owned tonight. It's a same Damaramu is a fat sister fucking redneck retarded hick (since he's from Oklahoma and all) or else I would think he was smart.

Why so uppity? Because just about everyone on this board seems to have a brain malfunction when it comes to my state. I'm getting tired of repeating myself. The point should be hammered home by now. You still haven't answered my question. Too busy fucking your sister like everyone in the state of Oklahoma does?

He's annoying, regardless of the music he likes (or doesn't like). And you're going to do exactly what about me annoying you? Whine about it? That's about all you can do. So suck it up. In Oklahoma High School was this the equivalent of turning someone around and ritualstically fucking them in the ass? I'm still not understanding people acting like Oklahoma is some weird foreign country where everyone goes about their lives differently. This state is just like any other state......except Arkansas....that's where the weird cousin fucking and backwards hickness comes from. See I've never been to Arkansas but apparently I'm allowed to make that claim because stereotypes are A-OK on this board. Now if I said "All Mexicans are lazy boarder jumpers that need to get a job" I'd be crucified for making a racist stereotyping remark.....but apparently it's ok for everyone to assume what goes on in this state without actually knowing what the fuck they're talking about. I'll keep that in mind. No my High School was like every other High School in the country. Stupid cliques and weird social standards that would never work in real life. It's a yes or no question

He's annoying, regardless of the music he likes (or doesn't like). And you're going to do exactly what about me annoying you? Whine about it? That's about all you can do. So suck it up. In Oklahoma High School was this the equivalent of turning someone around and ritualstically fucking them in the ass?

Stop whining. I'm not. It's merely an observation. Which is true.......this board is high school. Eternal High School........that can be good or bad depending on who you're talking to...... Did you ever figure out what a throwback is?

From wwe.com- WWE’s Talent Relations Department has announced that Chris Kanyon has been released from his contract as of Monday, Feb. 9. Hopefully he can go on the indies and make some money for himself. I felt bad for him since he had been doing absolutely nothing for a year.

Goldylocks. Cell phone store. 'Nuff said

There will be no disrespecting burns, zings or slams in this thread. Thank you.

Yea- That's the burn zing of the century right there. Poor Parnell can't catch a break. Lorne's powerless though. He was 100% against the Norm firing yet couldn't do anything about it. He has superiors at NBC and they can tell him what to do and go over his head. That's corporate life I guess.

Hmmmm- I hope I'm not the only one who loved the cab skit. I haven't read any other reviews of the show yet (mainly cause I was working on this all day). The thing with Oprah was once I got the joke- that was it for me. While I thought cab got funnier and funnier.

I have to agree to that. I was having trouble keeping up with the zing celebration. I should've taped it so I could study it.

Well Sean Bradley started that thread at 11:35 on Saturday right during the montage so I don't think it's really a rumour. I just know that right now he's gone for good. I would really like to find out why though

Nothing yet. All I know is that he is gone for good. It's kind of odd since I couldn't find any articles on the situation and is bio is still up the NBC site. Hopefully we'll find something out soon.

Sorry this is so late guys. But not having a computer and incredibly busy Mondays will do that to you. If only Howard Dean hadn’t YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAED Jeff Richards would still have a job. Think about it. Sports Report- Leafs- They’ve played great recently except for one misstep against Chicago. The team is really starting to come together and are playing well as a team. I shudder to think about how good they will be when Mogilny comes back. Those two games against Ottawa were great games. Canucks- Even though their 5 game winning streak was snapped against the Rangers (ugh) they have played fine hockey over the past couple weeks. It’s a shame that the Avalanche have played God hockey over the same time period since I can’t have them winning the division. Special props to Clouts for his solid play. The 2003 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils- They have played decent hockey over the past few weeks going 5-3. The Flyers look like they will be tough to beat so they may have to play for 4th place. I personally recommend they play for 6th place due to the fact that the Southeast division sucks. Nets- Well it looks like they made the right decision in firing Byron Scott. The guy was a good coach and his heart seemed to be in the right place- but the players just weren’t into him and weren’t playing the best basketball they could. This little white dude must be doing something right- the Nets have won 8 in a row and K-Mart is playing his ass off. Mailbag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Ken Hayashi sent me a very detailed prediction list for Wrestlemania XX. His matches were- Chris Benoit v. HHH- World Title Goldberg v. Lesnar- WWE Title Taker v. Kane Eddy Guerrero v. Angle Cena v. Edge- US Title Molly v. Trish v. Jazz v. Victoria- Womens Title RVD v. Y2J v. Book- IC Title Rock-n-Sock v. Evolution Dudleyz v. Rodney Mack/Mark Henry Rey Rey v. Tajiri v. Chavo- Cruiser Title Well we know Mark Henry is off of Wrestlemania and Edge won’t be there either. Aside from the omission of HBK this card isn’t half bad. I would stick Lita in the women’s title match but other then that- I kinda like this card. I think Wrestlemania XX will still be a fun show anyway. Dear Bob, I recently visited your website and saw that you had a messge board regarding SNL and Justin Timberlake. do you happen to have a copy of that episode that he hosted. I am very interested in purchasing a copy, i just havent found one yet. Thanks Shannon Gadoury I don’t tape any of the SNLs so I don’t have it. I’m sure SNL will rerun it soon though. If anyone has a copy and is willing to sell it- drop me a line in the mailbag. Wanna be in the mailbag?????????????? Email me at [email protected] Cold Opening Cast- Darrell Hammond, Seth Meyers, Will Forte, Chris Parnell Thoughts- Darrell must’ve been taking lessons from Robert DeNiro. Could he have made it any more obvious that he was reading the cue cards? I was trying to follow the skit but watching Darrell’s eyes move slowly from left to right was funnier then the skit itself. I assume this is the last time we will see Parnell’s Lieberman as the Jomentum has stalled for good. That’s a shame since I always enjoyed his impression. Will Forte has also toned down his John Edwards impression from crazy psychotic Southerner to just plain Southern fellow. And I like it better that way since John Edwards isn’t really a mad psycho. Seth’s John Kerry is awesome and I’m so happy that John Kerry is the Democratic frontrunner since this means lots of airtime for Seth until the election in November. This was kind of disappointing since I usually love SNL’s political humour (unless it involves Darrell doing Bush of course) and while this was funny it wasn’t a **** cold opening or anything like that. And they had to bring up the Boob of Doom somehow so I’m glad they got it over with in the cold opening. ***1/4 Monologue Cast- Megan Mullally, Clay Aiken, Hammond, Meyers, Horatio Sanz, Forte, Parnell, Jimmy Fallon, Fred Armisen, Kenan Thompson, Finesse Mitchell Thoughts- I’m not a big fan of the song and dance monologues where all they do is song and dance because well- that’s not funny. To me it’s just boring and gets old very quickly. You have to wonder what Jeff Richards’ would’ve added to this skit. I enjoyed a couple of Mullally’s lines here including her claim that she’s more boobular then Debra Messing and that they should call Will and Grace- Jack and Karen. But the rest of this was just boring singing that did nothing but make me long for there to be hockey on. * Celebrity Poker Cast- Mullally, Parnell, Fallon, Meyers, Hammond, Sanz Thoughts- They actually did this skit in the Elijah Wood dress rehearsal. Of course it was hilarious and easily a ****1/2 skit so it was cut. In that skit Tina did an impression of….Megan Mullally. Well at least it comes full circle. This was not half as good as the Wood skit unfortunately. I didn’t enjoy Mullally’s impression of Tammy Faye Messner and a lot of the jokes seemed to fall flat. Seth’s Carrot Top was hilarious and the highlight of the skit. He did the two queens bit in the Wood dress. Darrell’s Geraldo was good as always and Horatio’s Gene Shalit was good since it was kept in moderation. In the Elijah Wood dress they had Darrell Hammond as Kevin Pollack. I liked Jimmy’s better so that was a good move. This was pretty good but I just kept thinking how it couldn’t reach the levels from the Elijah Wood dress. **3/4 Huggies Thong Cast- Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch Thoughts- They could've delved into the problems created by Maya doing a black man but since this is just a time filler commercial- there was sadly not enough time to devote to the potential problems among close minded friends and family. And that's a damn shame. ** Peter Pan Complex Cast- Mullally, Amy Poehler, Meyers Thoughts- I think Seth Meyers wrote this skit because on his wall he had a Pittsburgh Steelers poster and his room was full of Red Sox paraphernalia. So kudos to Seth for a great writing job and another great performance. Amy Poehler played her role as ‘exasperated lady friend’ very well. Seeing as how she seems to be given that role every week I guess she should be good at it by now. Megan Mullally was hilarious and hammed it up to perfection. Everyone seemed to click very well here and what resulted was a funny skit. **** Golden Globes Cast- Mullally, Poehler Thoughts- At first I thought that was an actual shot of Megan Mullally from the Globes but don’t worry- I soon realised it was part of the skit. I enjoyed the Golden Globes this year but mainly cause Renee Zelwegger won for Cold Mountain. I still think it’s crap that Mary Louise Parker won for Angels in America. Have I seen Angels in America? No. But come on- how could her performance be better then Kristin Davis on Sex and the City? Sorry- I’m ranting. I know on Sharon Osbourne that Amy said she doesn’t have many impressions but I have to say that I really enjoyed her Sharon Stone. Megan Mullally making funny faces at the camera was cute but wore thin after a while. I also didn’t like the ending of Mullally attacking Stone. It just didn’t work. The bulk of the work fell on Amy Poehler and she did a very good job. ***3/4 Oprah Cast- Mullally, Poehler, Tina Fey, Dratch, Rudolph Thoughts- I’ve heard a lot of praise for this skit. (Well I talked to two people and they both liked this) I just wasn’t feeling it. While the concept is funny I did see this done in a similar fashion on Jimmy Kimmel Live. It started out pretty funny but then it kept going and going and going and I got really bored. I did enjoy the girl on girl kissing and the arm getting ripped off. I know I pick on her and insult a lot but Maya Rudolph did a really good impression of Oprah. So while the skit did have its good points it just never really clicked with me and became tedious towards the end. *1/2 Fun in a Taxi Cast- Mullally, Thompson, Mitchell Thoughts- This skit was AWESOME. I was in tears watching this. Kenan was in rare form and was just fantastic. He’s been a terrific addition to SNL and it’s good to see SNL giving him a chance unlike other black cast members like Dean Edwards and Jerry Minor. I was laughing at everything Megan Mullally was saying and Kenan’s facial expressions and just everything he did was great. My only complaint was Finesse. Him entering the skit kind of killed the momentum the skit was building up and I felt he could’ve played his role a lot better. Still that’s just a very minor quibble for an excellent skit that hit on all cylinders. Probably the best skit of the season so far and it was very close to hitting *****. ****3/4 Clay Aiken Thoughts- I know my track record with music isn’t good. I like Avril and Justin and I remember not liking Bruce Springsteen very much when he played SNL. But not to worry- I think Clay Aiken’s music sucks. I gave him a chance but damn- I don’t know why anyone would idolise him. Well I guess that’s why Reuben won. Plus- after watching Conan O’Brien rip into the guy every week- it’s hard to take him seriously. At least he seemed happy to be on stage. ¼* Weekend Update Cast- Fey, Fallon, Dratch, Armisen Thoughts- I thought this Update was kind of mean. A lot of Tina’s jokes caused me to have the reaction ‘Whoa- that was mean’ instead of ‘Whoa- that was funny’. I don’t know what it was but she just seemed to be in a bad mood and was taking it out on her jokes. Jimmy’s Howard Dean bit also bothered me since it happened almost a month ago. It’s old news. No one cares about the crazy speech anymore. I remember being upset when Jimmy Kimmel devoted a whole segment to mocking the speech and that was two weeks ago. I don’t want to make it sound like I didn’t like this Update- cause I did. Most of the jokes were very funny and I loved the Tina Fey college years joke. I also enjoyed Jimmy’s American Idol bit. Fred Armisen’s Indian guy was back and that made me happy. It’s just so bad and stupid that I can’t help but love it. I hope they do it again. And what happened to Ferecito? I miss him. Rachel Dratch’s Barbra Walters didn’t do much for me. This was a good Weekend Update but not up to the levels that they can usually hit. Oh and bonus points go out to Tina for using the word “redonkulous”. I had to write that down. ***1/4 Wizard of Oz Cast- Mullally, Poehler, Rudolph, Meyers, Sanz, Parnell, Dratch, Forte, Hammond, Armisen Thoughts- Kudos to Amy Poehler for another good impression as she was very good as Dorothy. And Darrell’s kooky cameo at the end was awesome. This was pleasantly funny as I was laughing at a good bit of it and it was fun seeing all of the cast in Wizard of Oz garb. Megan Mullally showing up to sue Dorothy was funny stuff. Not much to say about this skit. It was funny- nothing more, nothing less. *** Zing meets Slam Cast- Mullally, Meyers, Parnell, Dratch Thoughts- I marked out like a bitch when I knew we were getting another taste of what zings Dave Clinger had to offer. The scary thing is- is that the minute I saw Parnell I knew we were getting more great zings. I love this character so much as Seth is in rare form when he does it and his zings are great. Megan Mullally tried to keep up but come on- you can’t beat zing even though her slams were quite good. I think she was so in awe of the zingmaster that she screwed up her lines at the end. Seth’s final zing celebration was so drawn out, so intricate and just so amazingly funny that it reminded why Seth is God and why it’s a travesty that he has been chronically underused this year. Seth was all over this show and he happened to be in two **** skits and stole the show in a lacklustre Celebrity Poker. Go Seth Go! **** Clay Aiken Thoughts- They really need to change that train sign. SNL has had two bad musical guests in a row (and a third with Kelis coming up) and I’m getting tired of staring at the same towns listed on that train sign again and again. So throw me a freaking bone here! At least Clay had energy to make up for his dreadful song. ¼* Leon Warwick Cast- Mullally, Aiken, Parnell, Poehler, Thompson Thoughts- Who would take Parnell seriously as a security guard? Not me. This was a nice little skit to end the show on. Kenan was pretty funny as Leon Warwick and Megan was okay as the Bonnie Raitt relative. It was cool that Clay Aiken did two skits for SNL. You rarely see that these days. This skit could’ve been funnier (Megan especially) but I’m not going to complain too much at 12:50. **3/4 Bottom Line- Avg. skit was **.6 making this is a thumbs up show. There was a lot of terrific stuff on this show and Seth Meyers was great throughout. There were some low points (the monologue) and a better musical guest would’ve easily improved the avg. skit rating. I’m not going to complain on a show with three **** skits and Seth all over the show. Megan Mullally was a great host- almost as good as Jack but better then Will. Hopefully Drew Barrymore will be good next week and SNL can start to build some much needed momentum heading towards the second half of the season. If this episode is any indication- SNL will be able to survive without Jeff Richards. Thumbs Up

This is what Tom said-

No Way Out 2003 did not have an opening video package. Kane began using Slow Chemical when he came back on August 26th, 2002. Paul Bearer last appeared in spring 2000 when Kane came back after Wrestlemania. He promptly dissapeared. Angle used the remixed version of his theme after Vengeance most notably in a match against Rikishi the night after the PPV.

CBC puts Cherry on 7-second delay Last Updated Fri, 06 Feb 2004 20:40:14 TORONTO - The CBC isn't going to let controversial Hockey Night in Canada commentator Don Cherry say whatever he wants, from now on. Harold Redekopp, the executive vice-president of CBC Television, says the network will put Cherry on a seven-second delay after he made "inappropriate and reprehensible personal" comments during the broadcast on Jan. 24. Ron MacLean and Don Cherry on Coach's Corner (file photo) During the first period intermission Cherry spoke out about players wearing visors on their helmets. In full flight he said, "most of the guys that wear them are Europeans or French guys ..." The remark was roundly criticized by French language groups across the country. Canada's Official Languages Commissioner Dyan Adam also noticed. A spokesperson said the commissioner feels it's an "important enough issue that she's going to investigate" whether Cherry's remarks violate the Official Languages Act. In his news release on Friday, Redekopp said CBC Television "categorically rejects and denounces his opinions," while at the same time acknowledging that Cherry has been "an important part of the Canadian hockey scene as a player, coach and commentator over the past five decades. "Fans across the country have tuned in to Hockey Night in Canada's Coach's Corner for over 20 years because of his insights and understanding of the game," the release said. But, Redekopp says, Cherry's remarks were "inappropriate and reprehensible opinion as part of his discussion about the use of visors." His comments on Jan. 24, said Redekopp, "stepped beyond the role." Cherry has been in trouble many times before for his controversial comments, which aren't limited to hockey. Last year, he and host Ron MacLean stirred up a hornets' nest when they spent an entire Coach's Corner discussing Canada's decision not to join the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. In 1998, CBC ombudsman David Bazay ruled Cherry went too far when he ranted about Jean-Luc Brassard being selected as Canada's flag-bearer at Nagano Olympics. Cherry called the Olympic gold medalist "a French guy, some skier that nobody knows about." Cherry has also taken on Quebec nationalists, saying "they don't like the Canadian flag but they want our money, we bail them out. I've never seen such a bunch of whiners in my life." The CBC will now put Coach's Corner on a seven-second delay. "This practice is common on many live broadcasts and is in effect immediately," Redekopp said. The controversy swept across Parliament on Friday, too. The Bloc Québécois called Cherry's remarks racist. And Denis Coderre the minister responsible for la Francophonie, says he's fed up with Cherry. "Frankly, I think that when you are talking about it and calling the Frenchmen wimps, I mean it's unacceptable." NDP Leader Jack Layton said he was annoyed by the implication about French Canadian hockey players. "One of my most vivid memories is going to the Montreal Forum with my dad, at age six, and seeing Boom Boom Geoffrion, Maurice Richard, the Pocket Rocket [Henri Richard], playing the most amazing hockey. They are some of the greatest hockey players in Canadian history." But Conservative MP Peter MacKay said people are overreacting. "It seems to be more of a commentary on their style of play, as opposed to anything to do with their language or ethnic origins." Coach's Corner won't be seen this weekend. The CBC will broadcast the annual NHL All-Star game. Cherry will return to his regular slot on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14. Here's a statement from the CBC about Cherry's comments:
