Paul London isn't an overhyped wrestler- he's not just a spotmonkey

Trish is fake- I believe she got implants before becoming a fitness model

I can identify since I suck ass at pool. But remember Choken- it's a TV show- not a documentary

No- Shane and Angle faced off again on October 1st and Angle won via the anklelock

He hasn't used the London Calling in the two matches I've seen. The enziguri->STO thing is pretty sweet though. He did the London Calling in a Velocity match against Matt Hardy in May- that was his tryout match for the most part

Actually Spanky and American Dragon are from Washington. Paul London's from Texas though. And I rate American Dragon in the top 5 wrestlers in the U.S. right now. He's definately the best U.S. indy worker along with Homicide. I didn't know that- thanks for correcting me though. Username- Paul London is my favourite wrestler. He's amazing and has been in IMO the top two matches of 2003. I've dug his Velocity matches so far

Ryan knows who Stan Hooper is because he watches Newsline- so he obviously has some degree of intelligence on him- He also wants to be a filmaker so he probably watches a lot of movies and stuff. The butler worked for a very rich guy for a long time and he's a butler- so he had to have some training. Chelsea is a dumb fuck. Pete and Lou aren't stupid- they're just simple. They believe in paying off debt and just being good honest hardworking folk. It took them 4 hrs to play pool because they all suck at it.

Norm Macdonald is my favourite comedian ever so of course I'm gonna be a bit biased. I didn't have huge expectations like I did for Norm since I knew this was a risk for Norm. But the show is funny. I like everyone but Chelsea and Ryan. The jury is still out on Ryan since he's done diddily squat since the pilot. I like the butler because he's used in small doses. If the show wasn't funny- I wouldn't laugh. Norm's not perfect. The Jenny-Norm arc from Norm is exhibit A. I think the show kicks ass and is only going to get better. They have a lot of work to do but it's so far so good. The show has been done before- Everytime Norm talked about the plot of the show he said that they stole it from Green Acres. (Of course they also stole from Newhart) But I loved Green Acres so I'm not too upset. The wife isn't supposed to be funny. The girl is supposed to be funny- she's not. The butler is supposed to be funny and he is. It's kind of weird that they made him into a major prick but I'm digging it. I think the show is dying for two reasons- 1) The Norm fans tuned into this show expecting Dirty Work and Norm Show Norm. They got Stan Hooper. 2) The Norm haters aren't gonna give two shits about Norm to begin with and won't give the show a chance. I know I'm a hardcore #1 Norm scary stalker fan- but the show is good

A Minute with Stan Hooper: Pete, Lou and Stan: Comedy Gold It seems like we’ve found a found a footing for Stan Hooper in who is funny and who is not. The butler, whom Norm pushed on us in the pilot seems to be more in the background. And Pete and Lou seem to be the people that Norm plans on using the most. The 3rd episode followed the theme of the 2nd and what will be the 4th episode. Stan does something and ends up riling up the hometown. Then we watch what happens. It’s formula but there’s a lot of things you could do with it. Considering that Stan has still just arrived in town- it makes sense that he would keep accidentally pissing off the townspeople. I like how this episode focused on Pete and Lou- With Fred Willard not really being in much Pete has started to won me over. Daniel Roebuck just seems to put everything into his character. His facials are brilliant and his aw shucks attitude is perfect for his role. We also got a taste of Lou tonight and I found him to be quite funny as well. One thing that’s interesting about Stan Hooper is how Norm hasn’t really played up the fact that they’re gay at all- nor does anyone seem to mind. Aside from Cockburn he hasn’t really used it for a punchline at all. The whole thing where Pete and Lou kept running up their debt to Stan reminded me of an episode of NewsRadio where because Matthew is the worst gambler in the world- he ends up owing Joe more and more money. The episode also paid homage to Cheers and Dirty Work- you KNOW I marked out. I was surprised at the way the pool game turned out. The fact that they both sucked at pool was a nice deviation from the norm. The constant ways that Pete and Lou ran up their debt was funnier and funnier. I know a lot of people are hating on Molly but I just can’t dislike her. She’s supposed to be like Eva Gabor from Green Acres. She’s the one who ends up adapting to small town life and not minding all the intricacies (except for the voting) and she’s just there as Stan’s conscious- the one who tries to help him make sense of it all. She’s not supposed to be funny- she’s just there. Chelsea does need to die and fast. She adds nothing to the show and is holding Ryan down. Ryan has two easy plotlines to deal with that haven’t been explored. I am the only one who remembers that Ryan lives with Stan Hooper? I know they mentioned it for a brief second tonight but I just think that the issue of someone living in Stan’s house should be explored a bit more. Also- Ryan and Mr. Hawkins are still on the outs and again- they only explored it for a bit second. Maybe their saving plotlines for a rainy day but damn- let Ryan do something. And send Chelsea far far away. The episode took a bit too long to build up tonight but once we got the main plot it was really good. Pete is awesome, Lou kept up with him and it’s amazing watching Norm slip so easily into the straight man role. The bare knuckle boxing scene was absolutely hilarious. A good show tonight but the show needs some minor tweaking that’s holding it back from true greatness.

Tim Madden gave Rave v. B-Boy *** btw.

I don't know- She's not really needed. Ryan has two plotlines- living with Stan and his relationship with his dad. Yet both are being ignored in favour of Chelsea

The wife is not as bad as Chelsea. God she needs to be written out immeadiately

An episode revolving around Pete, Lou and Stan- Pete is awesome

You and Tim Madden both do the same tape in the span of a few days? CONSPIRACY! Good stuff btw

Bah- screw you and your hard to read posts

Bah- the first 8 minutes have included a Cheers and a Dirty Work reference. But yes- Chelsea needs to die

John Walters lives in Massachusetts. Dragon, Spanky and London are all from Texas

Damnit- just watch the damn show! I sit through 30 minutes of 70s Show just to make sure I have it on FOX.

Yea- Country music is very very popular. Norm Macdonald is actually a big country music fan. But there's no CMAs so please- WATCH THE SHOW

Tonight on Stan Hooper- AIRS WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 12TH AT 8:30/7:30 C ON FOX Writen By: Barry Kemp, Norm MacDonald Directed By: Jeff Melman Stan ends up winning a lot of money from Pete and Lou during "Men's Pool Night" at the local tavern. It's an episode written by Norm so hopefully it rocks the kasbah

I think he retired just because he was in his 40s and wanted to retire on his volition. That's just speculation though

John Walters is a wrestler based out of Massachusetts- he's worked ROH a few times and is currently feuding with Xavier. He's real good

When did the name get changed from WWF to, WWE and why? May 2002- they were forced to by a British court cause of the World Wildlife Fund. - How many PPV's hav they produced to date? 1+1+2+3+4+4+5+4+5+5+10+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+10=a big number btw: that's not counting the WBF PPV or the Brit PPVs or the No Holds Barred PPV

Sheffield has done dick the past two years in the playoffs. At least Chipper helped them win a couple of games and he's been a consistent producer every year.

What places Plunderin? Sheffield can go fuck himself and I think Javy was a contract year but Maddux and Chipper are my two favourite Braves EVER and losing them in one year would be way too much to handle
