Vanhalen

To me, the thing that made the first thing great about Predator 1, when I first saw it(God, I feel old now), was the fact that you didnt have one fucking clue what he looked like, only glimpses until the very end of the film when Arnie had to resort to primitive methods, AVP will fail because the mystique of the Predator has gone, and all you have for a movie is lots of nice CGI which is cool to look at, but ultimatly soulless, this will be a throwaway movie, and not what it could be which is a total shame.

Good god, theyve gone for Freddy vs Jason syndrome, 1 hour of annoying human beings that no one gives a fuck about, and 20 minutes of what we paid our fucking ticket money for, Aliens beating the shit out of Predators, WHEN WILL THEY FUCKING LEARN!

Sorry, its http://dictionary.oed.com/ not www.oed.co.uk, theve changed over.

They did a little bit on this on the radio this morning, mostly laughing at the people in charge for being so prudish, but they had a Scrabble champion on, and apparantly any word in the Oxford English Dictionary is allowed(www.oed.co.uk), it doesn't matter how offensive.

According to Dave Meltzer in this week's Wrestling Observer newsletter, Williams (a huge wrestling fan) has already (since the win over Tyson) approached WWE about participating in an angle with Randy Orton at the Manchester, U.K. Raw tv taping in October. Stemming from his defeat of Tyson, Williams has proposed some kind of 'legend killer' vs 'legend killer' angle. Apparently this isn't the first time Williams has approached WWE; he contacted them about involvement in 2002, but was turned down. No word yet on if any deal has been made, but it's quite possible there will be some sort of celebrity involvement in the UK tv tapings, if only to make the shows seem special and set them apart from the lame U.K.-only ppvs.

SCHEDULE CHANGES & NEW PROGRAMMING The new Memphis Show (Memphis Wrestling) is starting on Monday 9th August @ 8pm. This is a very well put together studio show, and is great entertainment. I would recommend checking out the debut episode and draw your own conclusions. It has stars such as King Mable, Grandmaster Sexay, and Jerry Lawler. We have been in talks with Zero-One and Toryumon, and there is a SLIGHT, UNCONFIRMED, CHANCE that you might see one of these promotions on TWC in the very near future. In other news, we are still re-negotiating with CMLL . We hope an arrangement can be met very soon. We are also considering re-running the Classic Memphis Series in a few months. We are still in talks with TNA about bringing new episodes to TWC. Fingers crossed. SUPERCARD SHOWS This upcoming Sunday, we are bringing you CZW Déjà vu II.

SHOOT INTERVIEWS Upcoming: 9th August 2004: Ted Dibiase - Part 1 16th August 2004: Ted Dibiase - Part 2 In no particular order: Brutus Beefcake Jerry Lawler Rob Van Dam Sid Vicious TWC HARDCORE CLUB Sometimes you stumble accross people who are so stupid that they think their crappy Photoshop skills are enough to fool the general public. I guess this clown must have read our last newsletter, and discovered that members of the TWC Hardcore club were given complimentary items from our online store. Being the genius that he is, and putting the A-Team's Hannibal Smith to shame with his cunning plan, he decided to send us in this photo, and ask: "I spent £3.50 getting this film developed, and it took me ages to set up the photo. I better make it into the club. Where's my t-shirt?" Obviously, we dropped what we were doing and loaded numerous DVD's and T-Shirts into a giant jiffy bag and rushed to the Post Office with his priority package.... Again, anyone who genuinely wants to join the TWC Hardcore club can do so by hanging up our mini-poster in as many places as possible (available here), and sending us in some photos of it. Keep ‘em comin’! Remember to check out our wrestling columns here, which are updated regularly. We have some of the best writers around. Thanks for reading, and keep watching! Sean Herbert. Director of Programming, The Wrestling Channel (sky channel 427).

Hey, as you may know the football(soccer) thread on the sports section is very popular, theres an interest in soccer generally, I would like to write a This Week In Soccer when the board is quiet, normally a Sunday or a Wednesday, I think I'm a good writer, and It would fly well

And of course, ISS Soccer 1 or 2

Have we got a name for this show yet?

Les Ferdinand was awesome then for Newcastle, cos he had the best supply, he had Gillespie and Ginola pinging in crosses all day long, good luck for the new season, still seven days to wait for me grrrr.

just a quickie question, when does the season start?

From bbc.co.uk/news

And of course, with MNF live in the UK now, I will be able to see it

Actually, this was going to start next week, in time for the new season, but with all the shit going down this week, I figured this weeks a good time to start

WTF, you don't want a thread for the biggest sports event in the world, and yet you pin this?

Cheers mate, appreciated

I think this sums up Crystal Palaces 1 season stay in the premiership to a tee

Yeah, I have this on tape, it was an episode of Raw, about 3 weeks before Unforgiven 2000, and it was a no 1 contenders match between Hardyz/Dudleyz for tme match at Unforgiven 2000 vs E and C(Yes I have too much worthless information in my head)

Good god, how in the fuck did I spell Beatties name wrong, and not only that, have it in my sig for fucking ages, cheers adam for spotting that

From different newspapers all around the world obviously for all the whiney bitches on here who piss and moan

I guess I'm just a contented fan then
