I'd take it facing him, just so I could make some kind of last second witty comment. I can't think of one now, but in the moment I'm sure I'd produce.

OMFG REOH IS TEH AWESOME WOWOWOWOWOW! Except IWA:MS has already had him since the firing. It's neat, hopefully he'll do some good stuff in ROH, but it's not a crime to not orgasm due to this announcement.

"Order Armageddon for this HUGE street fight between Jesus and John Cena! But, in case you don't, don't worry because we'll fuck over the paying customer by replaying the whole thing next Saturday on Velocity!" Idiots. See, this is part of why people don't buy PPV's - everything is shown/replayed/rematched on free TV anyways.

While I hope to god Serenity does well, I'm more just wanting to see it myself. Firefly the show is great, and hopefully the movie will be half as good. But wait: it got cancelled by a shitty network after not being promoted and being placed in a death slot! It must suck!

Last year wasn't anything good, by any stretch of the imagination. Jericho/Trish was horribly drawn out, HHH was reigning supreme (GASP), Orton was in the middle of his boring uberpush, and we just came off Shane/Kane in the world's worst feud. Smackdown was doing okay with Brock as the monster champion, but aside from that the situation wasn't that good. But, I would say that it is better than it is now. At least they were working towards something during last years crapfest. This years crapfest isn't building to anything, no matter how bad that anything might be.

I also can't stand either Shrek movie. Anyone that laughed during those movies should be shot.

Your friend needs to be a man. They show up, he kicks their ass. There, problem solved.

Yesterday was my third time through episodes 1 and 2, and I liked them even more. Some of my favorite moments: -The opening scene. Jack walks through the wreck in a suit-and-tie and then as he merges into the chaos and starts helping people, it comes off. Just a little perfect thing about how they aren't in the real world anymore. -Locke embraces the rain. Absolutely mindbending. And aside from a few shots of him walking around, almost every scene of Locke was of him sitting down. I can't wait to see his episode again, and I've noticed that he's done almost nothing but stand since then. -Sawyer whips out the gun and shoots the polar bear. What a scene. Everybody's reaction to the polar bear afterwards is also great. -One of the funniest lines they have done yet. "Shut it, Al-Jazeera", and then quietly off-screen "Al Jazeera is a network!" That cracked me right up. -The scene where they hear the french woman on the radio is so freaking intense. Wonderful. The whole show just gave off a great vibe and makes me happy to see the older episodes again but so so sad that I can't see new ones right now.

Interesting. On Off The Record he said Snipes was incredibly nice to him and others. Interesting... [/conspiracy]

Seinfeld. It is NOT FUNNY. "Hey look Jerry, I met a girl!" "But she has a small amount of hair behind her ears." "Oh no, I better debate whether or not that is okay for 30 minutes." Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO. SHUT THE FUCK UP. YOU SUCK. Jesus christ.

No problem, boss. Undertaker vs Bret Hart, One Night Only 1997 Maybe Taker's best match ever. Both men do a great job of selling damage, particularily Taker who does a mighty fine job with the leg. Bret also has lots of good control segments and leg work. Finish sucks, but everything else is great. Owen Hart vs British Bulldog, 2/26/97 European tournament final. Perfect story of oneupsmanship chock full of sweet attempts to outdo the other. Crisp as hell and does a great job of establishing the title as important, as well as making both men look like gold. Steve Austin vs Bret Hart vs Undertaker vs Vader, Final Four 1997 Probably the first really great brawl in the WWF, and up there with the best. Violent, stiff, bloody, with off the charts heat. They do a good job of mixing in the unique stipulation of Rumble-like rules. Austin is the pissed off jerk, and comes back for one of my favorite finishing sequences in WWF history. Taka Michinoku vs Great Sasuke, Canadian Stampede 1997 Must-see just for proof that cruiserweights can get over with a crowd that doesn't know them, because the crowd is silent for the start but is going insane by the end. Plus, lots of wacky moves including killer kicks to the face, a tope, a beautiful plancha, and of course the thunder fire bomb to finish it. Shawn Micheals and Diesel vs 123 Kid and Razor Ramon, 10/94 Action Zone Non-stop action for 15 minutes, plus great use of the usual US tag formula. This is easily up there with some of the often-pimped tag matches such as HHH/Austin vs Benoit/Jericho 5/21/01. Star of the match is 123 Kid with great selling. Lots of swank offense and the 2 guys that you wouldn't think would put on a great performance (guess which) wrestle one of the best matches of their lives.

If only PWG tapes were out faster, and/or (as I usually say in these threads) I lived in SoCal. Just look at that card: Joe/Danielson Aries/Hero Spanky/Cabana AXP/Generico & Steen Pitbulls/Lost & Bosh Those should all be off the charts great. I haven't seen Storm in forever, so I can't predict how good that will be, but Super Dragon will probably be able to make something great out of it. Plus MORE? Damn.

WCW. WCW. Terrible. Not as bad as the coming years, but not good at all. WCW, and not even the best match on that show. Ugh. 65 minutes of them doing next to nothing but getting praised because "It's long OMG classic!". Terrible. The One Night Only match was miles ahead of this. WCW. WCW. Terrible. The Rumble and Valentine's Day Massacre matches are both better, but those aren't exactly good either. Attack of the boring, mindless three way brawl! Terrible. WCW. WCW. TLC2 and HHH/Undertaker are both terrible matches. HHH/Undertaker is a wacky mindless brawl with boatloads of slow spots, and TLC2 is a spotfest that is nowhere near as good as it's predecessor. Terrible. Better than TLC4, but still not good at all. Terrible. Finisher-burning city, wow. That's must-see. Tons of lying around mixed with the usual stuff. Not bad, not must-see. HHH/HBK is one of the greatest examples usable for how much HBK sucks. He no-sells 20 minutes of back work and then they hit the super-contrived spots, followed by an exciting roll up for the win! WOW! Brock/Rock isn't exactly a classic either. A nothing 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of contrived spots and spotty selling. Bad. These aren't terrible, but they are nowhere near must-see. Little story mixed with the usual Angle selling doesn't make must-see. The biggest Y2J burial of 2003. Don't forget weak offense, more HBK no-selling, and the wrong guy winning. Guerrero/Benoit is almost fun, and the 3 way is finisher after finisher after finisher. Neither are anywhere near must-see. And you left off the best match of the card, the Mysterio & Kidman vs Haas and Benjamin tag. 40 minutes of nothing plus 5 minutes of HBK sloppily fighting three men and being made to look unbeatable until a run-in ending doesn't exactly make good. Overrated to hell, with more pointless chops and the traditional same old stuff from both men followed by an inconclusive finish. Terrible. Not as bad as 2002 and 2003, but nowhere near good. Benoit does nothing even though he should be the focal point, plus looooong boring stretches and no actual good wrestling. Angle/Guerrero is fun. The triple threat is one of the most overrated matches ever, simply because Benoit won. HBK contributes nothing. Some fun moments but little in the way of good. Contrived, pointless spot city. I really don't get the appeal of this. Benjamin/Orton was the usual stuff, nowhere near must-see. Kane/Benoit was good, but again, unless the definition of must-see is around ***1/4, this isn't it.

Lawrence Taylor, MOTHERFUCKER~!

I was looking through my copy of Lord of the Flies today (I don't even like it that much, but for some reason I was looking at it) and I noticed some interesting similarities to Lost. *In LOTF, the fat guy (Piggy) is supposed to but doesn't do a census, in Lost the fat guy (Hurley) does do a census. *The main antagonist in LOTF is Jack, the main protagonist in Lost is Jack. *Of course, the freaking tropical island they are stranded on. *Simon embraces the island and the others don't understand it, Locke embraces the island far more than the rest of the Lost crew. Anybody else notice stuff like that from any literature? And also, the following has been on my mind for a while: why is it Boone, specifically, with Locke? There has to be a reason for that. Any theories?

I liked most of it, but the endless Roberts/Willis stuff was terrible and the SWERVE-CRAZY ending pissed me off to no end. Cut out the unfunny Roberts/Willis stuff and stop the movie at Matt Damon being saved by his parents and it would have been fine.

They could always show a cab driver refuse to pick him up. That might make his point more valid in the eyes of the fans. I would think more along the lines of put him in the ring, wrestle a match, win the crowd over, and then post-match gets jumped by a couple faces and a couple heels because they don't like Arabs. That would show his point and make the crowd think about who they want to cheer and who to boo, rather than "Arab fag! USA! USA! USA!"

Sadly, yes. I hate her so much. Just curious...how are you able to see her? You live in Canada and get Stampede or something? I live just south of Calgary, so I regularly go to the shows. A side note, if anyone remembers AM91/AM The Kid, I'm fairly certain he is the ring announcer now.

Picture of The Anvil's daughter. I'd hit it... unless she was really a man or something. http://nattieneidhart.tripod.com/id17.html HIT THAT SHIT LIKE A SPOON, LOONEYTUNE~! Seriously, I think she's a man.

Sadly, yes. I hate her so much.

Oh god, don't even joke about it. Nattie Neidhart is TERRRIBLE. So...like father, like daughter then? To the extreme. Dear Jesus in heaven, to the extreme.

Oh god, don't even joke about it. Nattie Neidhart is TERRRIBLE.

London/Kidman was boatloads of fun. London, even while limited by the WWE style, busted out some of the swankest offense in the WWE in years. Double stomp on Kidman's head in mid-air? Cannonball plancha? Beautiful 450? It's all there. Bless that man. And Kidman was no slouch either. He wasn't great, but some of his facials (especially early on, he had a total "I am fucking screwed, I didn't expect this" vibe going on) and had a good dominating presence. At least equal to London/Akio. I love Velocity.

And you're able to post? My god, how did you survive that ordeal?
