Masked Man of Mystery

I'm yet another guy who reads the stuff and doesn't feedback. Heck, you and Dames are the only way I have ANY idea of what's going on in TNA since I don't have cable and can't order the shows

I kinda like The Other Side, I just think it should be way longer and the singer is doing overkill for an acoustic album.

I haven't finished them but I liked the Eva manga MUCH more than the Eva anime. Of course, this is coming from an Eva anime hater, so take this as you will. It actually makes some sense to me. But I swear, I will flip my lid if they pull that dumb ending in the manga that they did with the show. Of course, you could go get the Azumanga Daioh or Excel Saga mangas and actually enjoy yourself but whatever

"The Other Side" by Godsmack. Decent songs, but even at the price I got it for it should be longer than 30 minutes. Also, a lot of the later day Rod Stewart stuff I have. I still absolutely love "Human" for whatever reason, but I'm going into "His only good music was done with mercury" mode. A few exceptions here and there of course, but a lot was generic pop shlock or got too sexual for my liking. Another one is the Tenchi Muyo In Love soundtrack. I got it hoping we'd get more anime soundtracks in my Best Buy, but it didn't help and I got stuck with a CD with very litlle worth my time. Impulse buying can be a bad thing. Oh, and that reminds me of another one. Andrea Bocelli's last album, Sentimentica or something. I LOVE the Tuscan Skies CD, but I just don't like his opera work as much.

Okay, I'm gonna sound like an absolute idiot here, but oh well 1. What is the big deal about Randy Coultre? I've watched three seperate highlight reels of him off ironlife today and all he does is punch, punch, punch. And he doesn't even seem all that good at it. I like how someone like Igor Vovchanchyn punches because he actually seems like he has some knockout power there, but Coultre seems to just pound and pound and pound away. One of the things was a series of clips of him against Tito Ortiz. He wailed on Ortiz for 3 bloody rounds and he couldn't KO Ortiz? Whazzup wit dat? 2. What exactly is the Kimura armbar as opposed to other armbars, and does anyone have a decent pic of it?

I think he'll have to spend a year or two in the Arena league to get a feel for football again before he'd really be ready for the NFL

How about just buying a bunch of tansmitters and broadcasting wrestling all day and all night? Then you have Smackdown on it and screw UPN and do whatever you want within broadcast standards. Basically, what Jobber is suggesting.

I guess it depends on who you listen to. I get a certain vibe from listening to "If 6 Was 9" by Jimi Hendrix where he says he simply wants to live his way, and that hit me, whereas it doesn't hit me the same way when I hear the Beach Boys when two of the Wilson brothers are dead

Wow, Torrie really looked differant back then.

Okay, if we're opening up anime we have, in my opinion: Nausicaa Of the Valley Of the Wind Princess Mononoke Kiki's Delivery Service Excel Saga Azumanga Daioh Castle Of Cagliostro(a movie which kept the Lupin feel but rose far, far above what I've seen of the second Lupin TV show)

Maybe they're working with Jeff and thinking about reuniting them? I'd go for that. It'd be better than some of the trash in the tag division

Talking about female managers made me think of the Chris Candido/Cactus Jack match on the Foley DVDs and Tammy Sytch or whatever her name is, was ringside cheering her man on, but we could still concentrate on the match, whereas in XPW she got involved in a catfight during the middle of a Shane Douglas/Vic Grimes/Chris Candido(he joined the match late) and it just took away from the match. It all depends on how someone is used. But we need to get away from the ex strippers they seem to be hiring, that much is certain.

I'm assuming we're talking American cartoons, anime not allowed so Rocky and Bullwinkle Looney Tunes the Disney Robin Hood American animation(at least what I see on broadcast TV, I don't have cable) is sucky as can be, it's like they've given up even trying to be good.

Ayane's High Kick(technically an OAV, not a movie, but then most people don't know that an OAV is Original Aniamted Video or something of that nature and I just adore this little anime, even if it didnt get finished)

I dare anyone to tell me they didn't mark out seeing Sandman coming out to Enter Sandman.

I remember when Steph had the Women's belt and they let Lita wrestle and it was like wow, she wasn't too bad. This was some battle royale or something, winner gets a title shot. But I'm really impressed with some of the newer female wrestlers, and now Lita just seems out of place. I think retirement would be for the best. I'm sure she's made enough to live comofrtably for a while. And now all we have to work on is teaching the women how to throw a punch, 'cause none of them seem to do it too well from what I've seen.

I remember that match mainly for how crazy both of them were taking multiple bumps on the thumb tacks Cactus put on the mat, and how much freakin' blood HHH lost, then post mast Cactus attacking HHH and giving him one last shot. I also recall being very disturbed by seeing Foley with tacks on his neck and forehead and wondering how he wasn't dead. It was overkill, and it ends up hurting their remtach at No Way Out when they had the Cell match. All in all, the Rumble streetfight was a nasty piece of work thaty should not have gone on as long as it did, HHH bled WAY too much(he had a cut on his leg and head), and Foley seemed heel in this fight, rather than doing everything to win, he went for sheer brutality and ended up paying for it. Kuods to both men for what they went through, but I felt it wasn't as good as it could have been. It was hardcore done wrong.

So should I just pick wrestlers for this? If so: 1. Rey Mysterio Jr. 2. Ultimo Dragon 3. Jushin "Thunder" Liger 4. "Stoned Cold" Rob Van Dam 5. Yoshihiro Tajiri 6. Booker T 7. A. J. Styles 8. Paul London 9. Billy Kidman 10. Shelton Benjamin (if no puro guys then replace Jushin Liger with Raven) I figure I might as well be the Cruisers' advocate

Yet another reason for me to miss the good old days when i was just getting into wrestling and the big 3 tag teams were the Acolytes(pre APA when they were with the Minitry Of Darkness), the Hardy Boyz(with Mike Hayes), and The Brood(Edge and Christian with Gangrel until the horrible New Brood fiasco)

Good to hear from ya, Dames, and glad to hear things are going well.

When I used to work in the audio section of my store, it would drive me nuts(not to mention damage my hearing) when people who listen to hip hop, for no apparent reason, stand directly in front of the high end stereos, like the Tower of Power the WWF used to advertise(it looks like a bloody Podracer) and blast this hip hop, subwoofer maxed out, the whole deal and practically make the entire store shake. Then they walk off, leaving it booming. Most of these people are doing this to a $400 or so stereo, but by God, when they actually buy a stereo, tyhey go and grab the cheapo $60 Audiophase piece of you know what. Bakas(as in Japanese for idiot, not how Corey Laz uses it). I ws also once asked while wearing a green shirt and shorts if I worked in the Walmart I was walking through. Not a bit of blue on me. Thankfully, I was in a good mood and didn't go ballistic. What also drives me nuts is when people POKE me. I've been poked in the back and once I got poked in such a way it sorta went under my ribcage. Jeez, man, just say hello. Does wearing a Best Buy shirt make me something subhuman that you all of a sudden can POKE me? And i'm one of the nicest salesmen in the store, for God's sakes

Somebody give me a good caption for this! It begs for one, but I'm coming up blank.

Wait wait wait...I thought the whole point was that MMA events WEREN'T FIXED, and you saw two guys battling it out. Pride fixes its events...oh God. Please just tell me the Otsuka/Silva fight at Pride 18 wasn't fixed. I was rooting so hard for Otsuka in that fight. Please just tell me they didn't tell Silva to just hold off until the third round. Oh man, youv guys freaking just ruined my day....

I vote to refer to him as the Underfunker.

I just recently got Pride FC Cold Fury 2 on DVD. Are the matches on there pretty much what I should expect from Pride and MMA in general(that was my first purchase of a MMA DVD)
