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:

I hate you. A lot.

Conan has also shot skits with the Leafs and walked around Toronto in a mounties outfit.

Yea- You had to email [email protected] The show will be taped at the Elgin Theatre

I can't believe that this is going to be included. I almost bet that they won't show the part where Vince gets counted out and Bischoff is announced the winner. This is the Nitro segment: (from slashwrestling.com) ERIC BISCHOFF's theme (aka the NWO Nitro theme) plays - and sure enough, it's Eazy-E himself on a motorsickle. "I wonder what Vince McMahon is thinking - he's been sending his wannabes around - but he only sends them where he knows I'm not gonna be!" He goes on to tell Sean Waltman he's not going to get an apology, instead he can "bite me" and that he's only doing what Vince tells him to do. For an encore, Eric invites McMahon to Worcester and Slamboree, where they can settle it in the ring, one on one, and Bischoff would knock him out. This is surreal on so many levels and I have to wonder if Eric has had a little too much sleep depravation from the ratings levels lately

I'm pissed off that I didn't get tickets. I wonder where the celebrities will enter. I was hoping to do some stalking this week since every night has a guest I really want to meet

The snowboarder seemed to be in good spirits and was joking around so I don't smell lawsuit. And I don't see how anyone could think the Late Show was cancelled. I wonder if they cancelled the taping of Friday's show as well. Interbridges says its TBA but CBS lists tonights guests as Hillary Swank

The one time I went to Letterman and they did crazy stunts- no one died. That would've been quite the sight to see.

I think Deranged is back with ROH- they smoothed everything over

I'm not Sass but from the looks of the thread they edited out all the DRAMA!~ just to keep the thread about linking people to helpful sites

DUSTIN IS IN TNA???? YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES ::repeat the word yes 9,000,000 times::

None of this would've happened had treble charged been made a mod.

I would link it from image station but it's being a bitch right now

I agree with Al. As long as I have a team to root for I can get very into soccer. The World Cup is practically a holiday for me as I watched every game televised and rooted hardcore for England. MLS does suck though.

The Great American Bash 1985 July 6, 1985 in Charlotte, NC Memorial Stadium drawing 27,000 ($300,000) Jimmy Valiant pinned Paul Jones in a "dog collar" match. Manny Fernandez, Sam Houston, & Buzz Tyler beat Billy Graham, Konga the Barbarian, & Abdullah the Butcher when Houston pinned Graham. Ron Bass draw Buddy Landell. National Tag Champs Ole & Arn Anderson beat Buzz Sawyer & Dick Slater when Ole pinned Sawyer. NWA Tag Champs Krusher Khruschev & Ivan Koloff DDQ AWA Tag Champs The Road Warriors. NWA U.S. Champ Magnum TA beat Kamala via DQ. NWA World Champ Ric Flair pinned Nikita Koloff. David Crockett was the special referee. Dusty Rhodes pinned Tully Blanchard in a "steel cage" match to win the NWA TV Title.

Yep- no one cared about Benoit v. Dean. They stopped using the name Hog Wild after Harley Davidson cried foul. That's why it was changed to Road Wild

Hog Wild- http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/videos/a...p?videos_id=140 Slamboree is alright- the main event is pretty awesome. And Regal wrestles Dragon for 17 minutes. Souled Out- http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/videos/a...p?videos_id=142 Superbrawl- http://www.411mania.com/wrestling/videos/a...p?videos_id=243 Hey- I gotta shill my work sometime!

According to EW- they asked everyone to be on the show. So whomever said yes said yes.

Registered Republican in NY

I can't believe Regal is 224- that's going to a be sight to see

I watched the Rumble in a theatre with a crowd full of pro-Benoit fans so when he won we all went crazy and marked out like little bitches. Dames- you captured the emotion of that perfectly. BTW JR and Tazz called Rcok v. Angle from NWO01 due to King losing to Steven Richards
