Cuban Linx

129 last night puts me back on track. Nov. 10th: PG- Mike Bibby SG- Kobe Bryant SF- Richard Jefferson PF- Tim Duncan (this was Randolph, but Portland disgusting performance against the Nets has swayed me back to Duncan's surefire matchup against the Warriors) C- Emeka Okafor Coach- San Antonio Spurs

November 9th: PG- Dwayne Wade SG- LeBron James SF- Jarvis Hayes PF- Kevin Garnett C- Brad Miller Coach- Dallas Mavericks

MAIN EVENT WORLD TITLE BOUT STREET FIGHT Toxxic© vs Annie Eclectic -> I've been a fan of Annie ever since she joined up not long after myself, so i'd very much like to see her become the first female (character) world champion. That Toxxic guy is pretty good though and shows no signs of slowing down, so i'll go with Toxxic to retain. Annie's more than capable of winning though so i wouldn't be surprised no matter which way it goes. HELL IN A CELL "Grand Slam" Mark Stevens vs The Suicide King -> Mark Stevens, one way or the other, in what i'm sure both men will make a fitting end to their storyline. Being fans of both since back in 2001 this will likely be the first match i read and knowing both it surely won't disappoint. SINGLES MATCH Manson vs Nathaniel Kibagami -> Mansonosity reigns supreme over all. Though if Kibagami wants it and writes like only he can he'll be extremely difficult to stop. But even then, Manson will just declare Mortal Kombat and rip out Silent's spine for the fatality victory. TAG TEAM MATCH Todd Cortez & ??? vs Sean Davis & ??? -> Normally i'm always in the know about the identity of ??? men but not this time, i guess that's what happens when you don't pay close enough attention to the goings on of the fed. On a whim i'll go with Davis/Sarah and whoever to win. ICTV TITLE BOUT ROYAL BEATING MATCH "The Icon" Max King© vs Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix -> One of the better feuds we've seen in a while (that my shonky memory can recall anyway), and this will no doubt be a fitting conclusion (if it is the end anyway). Both have writing talent in spades, but for no real reason i'll go with Max King to solidify himself as ICTV Champ, and free Maddix up to go for the bigger title around Toxxic's (or Annie's) waist. SINGLES MATCH Andrea Montgomery vs David Cross -> Cross has been looking strong as US Champ (i think) and Tag Champ over recent times, but i'll go with Andrea to get back on the winning track here and move back towards the top of the card. CRUSIERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH "Hollywood" Spike Jenkins© vs Austin Sly -> Spike to continue his recent good showings and retain the title for a while longer at least. Should Sly show a title change could be on the cards though. HARDCORE TITLE MATCH Carnage© vs Christian Fury -> Carnage has been on a real roll since his arrival, and i see it continuing here. Fury has won both Hardcore and Tag Titles in his short time back so he's more than capable as well, provided he writes more than he did on Smarkdown.

Today looking shittastic so far, hopefully this lineup does better. Nov. 8th: PG- Chauncey Billups SG- Jason Richardson SF- Andrei Kirilenko PF- Dirk Nowitzki C- Ben Wallace Coach- Dallas Mavericks

Just about anything from the Reborn shows on the 23rd & 24th of April to the present, ROH has really been on fire, some great shows with some of the best matches in ROH history happening in this period.

*points out that you were stupid enough to intentionally JOB the JL Title to Brimerous way back in the day*

Not picking Shaq again, thaty's for sure. Jefferson and Duncan saved what was looking like a bad day yesterday to give me 115, and Michael Redd and KG make up for the dead weight that is Marbury and Shaq today to keep my run of over 100 points every day going. 7th: PG- Damon Stoudamire SG- Kobe Bryant SF- Lamar Odom PF- Tim Duncan C- Radoslav Nesterovic Coach- L.A. Lakers

The joys of owning Kevin Garnett, even if the rest of my team sucked KG alone gives me a ton of numbers in basically every stat and would keep me competitive. Of course the rest of my teams looking pretty good in it's own right so i'm feeling good about my chances this season.

Scarface From Dusk Till Dawn Natural Born Killers

The Bulls suck even more than i remembered, down by almost 30 to the damn Nets and it's only half way though the second quarter.

129 last night, if it wasn't for me putting my lineup in late two days ago and costing myself 74 points i'd be sitting outright 8th on the overall leaderboard right now. Nov. 6th lineup though i might change it a bit: PG- Steve Francis SG- Michael Redd SF- Tayshaun Prince PF- Kevin Garnett C- Shaquille O'Neal Coach- Phoenix Suns

A Clockwork Orange Se7en: Deluxe Special Edition

Like others i just ordered the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania, the only two PPV's i see myself really considering ordering in the future. The Rumble itself is always the attraction and Rey/Noble and Eddie/Chavo pushed it over the top. Of course those matches ended up being given shit all for minutes so HHH/HBK could punch and bleed for 25 minutes or whatever. The Rumble was good, but if the Guerreros match and the Cruiser title match were given adequate time and HHH/HBK was something closer resembling their December Raw match and less an overwhelming disappointment it could have been a great PPV, particularly if we just pretend Holly going for the world title never happened. And Wrestlemania is Wrestlemania, being the 20th and the 'biggest event of all time' (not that i ever expected it to achieve the overwhelming hype) with enough matches that interested me, notably Benoit's was enough to get me to watch. And i personally didn't pay for either, so essentially getting them for free i was content. I very much doubt i'll be ordering any PPV other than those two for the forseeable future, there's really no big or dream matches the WWE has left that interest me enough to get me to order one of the shittier events so i'll be sticking to the more special attraction PPV's in the Rumble & Mania, if that.

Looks like i didn't put in my lineup for November 3rd in time, since it's left me with the same lineup i had day one. Figures i'd screw up on the day i choose both KG and Ilgauskas who just happened to be the two top scoring players of the day and would have given me 175 total. Intead i have to settle for a comparatively poor 106. Lineup for the 4th: PG- Dwayne Wade SG- LeBron James SF- Jarvis Hayes PF- Kevin Garnett C- Shaquille O'Neal Coach- Miami Heat and for the 5th: PG- Steve Francis SG- Paul Pierce SF- Richard Jefferson PF- Tim Duncan C- Theo Ratliff Coach- Pistons

I can't remember what i put for today, i think it went Francis, Kobe, Artest, Garnett, Ratliff & LA Clippers at coach. And it sucks that they've put KG at the power forward position this year, since i now can't go with Garnett and Elton Brand in the same lineup anymore, denying me their combined ass-stomping goodness that gave me so many huge totals last season. Although moving Garnett frees me up to use Kirilenko more, which is good.

No match but that's ok, since i've had an idea that's inspired me with something to do for the PPV and beyond that should help give me some renewed direction, that even i shouldn't be able to screw up and add to my mile long list of failures and missed opportunities.

Sepultura - Mass Hypnosis

I'd rank Canberra higher if only for it being not much more than plentiful access to both pornography and fireworks, at least the last time i was there it was. That alone should put it above the more non-descript capitals, but either way Adelaide is the worst.

I've barely played anything lately, only recently i've started going back through my Gamecube games since it's been collecting dust lately, Metroid Prime and Wind Waker in particular.

Apparently both Miami and particularly Cleveland are interested in trading for Woods, so if he's intent on remaining an idiot maybe they should make him someone else's problem and get a draft pick or something in return. Woods could be good, but even if he wasn't a trouble-magnet he's not going to see anything more than meager scraps of playing time with all the forward minutes going to Randolph/Abdur-Rahim/Miles, with Ruben Patterson likely getting whatevers left over in an attempt to keep him happy.

In unrelated IWA:MS business, does anyone know whatever happened with the NWA Indiana State Title Tournament? After just getting the TPI Quadshot and the Butcher Loose In Highland show i was reminded about it after the Chris Sabin/Delirious 1st Round match in the tournament. Did the tournament ever actually finish and i've just missed/forgotten about it or did IWA just not want to be bothered with another title and dropped it completely to be never mentioned again?

MAIN EVENT TAG TEAM EXTRAVAGANZA!!! Toxxic and Sean Davis vs Annie Eclectic and Todd Cortez -> Toxxic & Davis HARDCORE NON-TITLE MATCH Andrea Montgomery vs Carnage -> Andrea HARDCORE-GAMERS TITLE SHOT FREE-FOR-ALL!!! Austin Sly vs. Christian Fury vs. Manson vs. Mike Hall vs. Danny Dagda vs. Evan Wolfe -> Mansonosity reigns supreme

A Trailblazer getting suspended for drug use, a sure sign the NBA season is right around the corner. Add this to the recent Dog Fighting investigation, the Marajuana charge in January and being fined in February for conduct detrimental to the team and Qyntel Woods is certainly doing all he can to keep the Jailblazer reputation going.

Disappointed Danielson had to cancel since Rotten/Danielson was the match i was most looking forward to, so hopefully it's rebooked on another show soon. The show looks decent, not as good as it probably could have been if both IWA and Wildside had their best possible lineups for the show, though Jacobs/DeLay and the 40 minute 8-man have my interest.

I'll have a promo of somesort for the show for sure, probably won't be anything important but considering i've probably promoed less in nearly three years here than most rookies do in their first month or two doing anything at all will be a relative success.
