    Thoughts on the Iron Man Match

    How was it ****1/2, exactly? I'm really curious, and I would like to hear something more original than "it entertained me". I felt it was a great match. The drama with Angle trying so hard to come back but Brock being able to stop him at will, the story of Brock being smart enough to trick Angle and control the entire match, the obvious effort from both men, the spots where they both learned stuff from previous matches and stuff from earlier in the match, and the fact that yes, I was entertained by it. And that, to me, adds up to a great ****1/2 match. What did Lesnar learn? That having an injured knee can help him kick out of the ankle lock he tapped to only a month ago? That he should have F-5'd Angle 5 minutes into the Wrestlemania match instead of 30 minutes to get the victory? Or that he should pretend sometimes that his knee is hurt, and sometimes act like he is fine, and then sell it again? I'll give him credit for being smart right at the beginning by getting DQ'd to gain a strong advantage...but everything else was bogus. Pinned by a superplex? Is Lesnar suddenly Barry Windham? Remember how he wouldn't tap out several times in the match? That came from him being so embarassed at tapping out at SummerSlam. Angle being smart enough for the pop-up superplex when Brock went for the SSP. Brock trying to roll out of the anklelock at the end but Angle not falling to the outside, instead catching himself on the ropes.

    Thoughts on the Iron Man Match

    As a Canadian, I've seen the match already, and I can't see how you guys are being so negative. ****1/2 from me.

    Matchstick Men

    What is the twist at the end of Matchstick Men? I've heard it sucks, and I have my suspicions to what it is, but what is it?

    The Confidential History of Pro Wrestling

    That'd be funnier if it hadn't been beaten into the ground. "Ha ha, Vince beat WCW so everyone is bitter! Ha ha, there wasn't enough proof to convince a jury that Vince was guilty, so let's all be bitter! Ha ha, Vince globalized pro wrestling, let's all be bitter!"

    Terrorize your telemarketer!

    I just tell them to hold on, then go watch TV as they wait for me to grab a pen.

    Star Ratings...

    I'm a lot more generous than most people, but to me, my ratings go like this: negative stars: an embarrassment DUD: just crap 1/4* to *: barely above crap *1/4 to **: almost semi-decent **1/4 or **1/2: decent **3/4: good enough ***: good match, not great ***1/4 or ***1/2: almost great ***3/4: almost a classic, not quite ****: great match ****1/4 to ****3/4: awesome match, worth going out of your way to see *****: spectacular match, just awesome top to bottom.

    The Mullets...

    Every Raw feels like a WrestleMania when it's a Kevin Nash match!

    John Ritter is dead at 55

    Damn that sucks...Threes Company is one of the best shows ever, and I actually liked 8SR.
  14. Not exactly five years, but close enough. Does anyone remember this match (Mysterio/Kidman vs Benoit/Malenko) from Nitro in mid-March 1999? I remember watching it and being so enthralled at an excellent match. The end was Raven and Saturn running in and helping Mysterio/Kidman win. Now for my real questions: Is the match available anywhere on the net? How long was it? Your star rating of it? Thanks.

    The One and Only 9/11 thread

    Some people can be so damn insensitive. I live in Canada, for the record, but I was living in Montana back in 2001. Sitting in Math class today, one kid asks if we'll be having a moment of silence or anything for 9/11, and this stupid girl in the back of the room goes "of course not, we're Canadian, we don't care what happens to those bastards". Stupid bitch. Anyways, tomorrow is going to be a long day, and I hope that nothing like 9/11 ever happens again.

    TNA 1 CENT PPV ON TONIGHT

    I have the Ultimate X match at about ***1/2. Good spots, but too slow overall and the belt falling twice hurt it.

    TNA fails to impress

    I was most disappointed in the incredibly long video on the Raven/Douglas feud. The rest looked fine to me.

    Family Guy Vol. 2 Season 3

    I got it. Hilarious, top to bottom. Season 2 is still my fave, though.

    I got that too. W00T!
  23. No PPV will ever be as bad as GAB 91. I don't think anything this year will be as bad as Bad Blood or Judgment Day. Bad PPV? Probably. Worst ever? I really doubt it.
