TC is right- Nobody likes rooting for big market NY sports teams playing each other. But two teams that haven't won since 1912 and 1908- that's quite the story. One of these teams HAS to win. The winner gets official bragging rights and ends the longest drought in their league. That's a storyline. I personally think Boston v. Chicago would draw as would Yankees v. Giants

Wasn't the Subway Series the least watched WS of all time?

FBI Probes Man Who Shipped Self to Dallas By DAVID KOENIG, Associated Press Writer DALLAS - Charles D. McKinley had himself shipped from New York to Dallas in an airline cargo crate, startling his parents — and a deliveryman — when he broke out of the box outside their home. "My husband asked him, `Man, what are you doing in this crate?' He said he was coming home," his mother told KDFW-TV in Dallas. Federal officials want to know how the stowaway bypassed airport security. McKinley, 25, a shipping clerk from New York, was arrested and jailed on unrelated bad-check and traffic charges after his overnight odyssey. Federal officials are considering additional charges of stowing away on a plane. In a rambling jailhouse interview, McKinley told KXAS-TV in Dallas that he made the trip because he was homesick and a friend thought he could save money by flying as cargo. McKinley said he took no food or water on the 15-hour journey, just a cell phone, which did not work. "I'm sitting there thinking, `Oh God, I don't know why I'm doing this,'" he said. "I'm sitting there thinking like any minute somebody will notice that there's somebody sitting inside this crate. ... No one did." Before setting out, McKinley filled out shipping instructions saying the crate held a computer and clothes. Authorities believe he had help from at least one co-worker at the warehouse where he works in New York when he loaded himself in the box. The box was taken by truck from New York's Kennedy Airport to New Jersey. Then it was loaded onto a pressurized, heated cargo plane operated by Kitty Hawk Cargo. It flew from Newark, N.J., to Niagara Falls, N.Y., then to the carrier's hub in Fort Wayne, Ind., and on to Dallas, the FBI (news - web sites) said. On Saturday, Billy Ray Thomas, a driver for Pilot Air Freight, picked up the crate at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport and delivered it to McKinley's parents' home in suburban DeSoto. When Thomas went to unload the 350-pound crate from his truck, he saw a pair of eyes and thought there was a body inside. Then McKinley broke the box open and crawled out, said police Lt. Brian Windham. McKinley's mother was stunned. The delivery driver called police. DeSoto police said the crate measured 42 by 36 by 15 inches. McKinley stands 5-foot-8 and weighs 170 pounds, authorities said. Authorities said they did not know whether McKinley had any toilet facilities. But the stowaway told the TV station that got out of the crate during flights once or twice and walked around. His box was carried in the pressurized, heated cabins, but could just as easily have been placed in the lower, unpressurized holds, said Richard G. Phillips, chief executive of Pilot Air Freight. "He could easily have died," Phillips said. The freight cost — billed to McKinley's employer — was $550. At that rate, "he could have flown first-class," Phillips said. Investigators from the federal Transportation Security Administration interviewed McKinley twice to learn how he got past security. "We're not aware this has happened previously, so obviously it's something we are investigating aggressively," TSA spokeswoman Suzanne Luber said. Air cargo receives less federal security attention than passenger planes, in part because of its sheer volume, and critics have suggested that terrorists could use cargo flights as weapons. Other than the federal statute, District Attorney Bill Hill said he could not cite any law that McKinley broke. "He violated the law of stupidity if nothing else," Hill said.

You should've asked him about saying the n-word at Sunday's house show

Considering two people have it as their avatars- it shouldn't be too hard

Dave Meltzer said Spike is fine

He didn't hate TNA- He just didn't know anything about it. I think it's cool of him to hype the show like that- I hope a lot of people do check it out

I think falling backwards to the outside through a table is sicker then faling out of the ring but that's just me

Angle v. Benoit from Unforgiven but it's pretty much just 'can you top this' Angle v. Benoit from RR actually tells a story with Benoit doing everything he can to live his dream. That's why I like the RR match just a bit more

I downloaded the Family Matters theme. As Days Go By owns you

Dustin has main evented PPVs before- but never for the World Title sadly. I'm not saying he should be fighting for the world title but he does deserve a push of some sort

Good job Jay. I liked that you gave the backstory for all the British wrestlers. I was thinking of asking Gabe for this tape but since my wrestling move knowledge is not up to par- I'm glad you did it.

I didn't say he was the best worker. I said he is one of the best Yep. Goldust IS over and he'd be even more over if they didn't totally forget about him following the BookDust breakup. Are on Smackdown! I didn't say they SHOULDN'T be pushed now did I? Considering that he beat the I-C champ clean in 4 minutes- He should be pushed as an IC title contender

Considering he's one of the best workers on RAW, is MUCH better then he was from 96-2000- I think it's pretty absurd to claim Dustin is over the hill. Carry to back that up with any evidence? The BookDust team was very very over and I hate to say it but the Tourette's stuff is over too. That's why it gets pops when he does it. So you don't think good workers who almost always get over should get pushes? And his dad makes a bunch of money working on the indy scene- So calling him unemployed is a pretty stupid and ignorant statement to make

Biggest Pops: (1) Austin (eight thousand strong in the palm of his hand) (2) Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler (for dispatching Coach and Al Snow) (3) Goldberg (4) RVD (5) Trish (5) Tie: Jericho (when he dispatched Christian) Most Heel Heat (1) Coach (for his anti-Tide comments) (2) Bischoff (when he re-started the cage match and announced the matches for Unforgiven; reaction to him tapered off as he re-appeared throughout the night) (3) Triple H (somewhat mixed reaction until he and his Evolution mates beat down Goldberg) (4) Christian (he had no peeps in Huntsville) (5) Tie: Kane and Jericho (when he went head-to-head with Austin)

And we should care because...

The Shiek never competed in the 1968 Olympics. Therefore he never won a Gold medal.

Oh My God

Hah- Me v. AS. The results for that are going to be very lopsided

JR at Backlash after Jeff does something: We maybe witnessing the next Shawn Michaels!

Bulldog probably wasn't that petty to argue over who carried a match

I know that- But I'm just pointing out my disagreements with Angle is God and his 'one match got a standing O' thing

Agreed with the previous two posters- That bump never gets any love. That was total luck right there. I nominate that the sickest bumps of the TLCs

I'm glad someone agrees with me

And because it wasn't Styles' fault. Kazarian didn't tuck his head properly
