Masked Man of Mystery

That's why I think Marvel is so neat. Whereas Superman and Batman, DC's biggest heros are an alien with no real faults and a millionaire, respectively, Spiderman and the X Men connect so well because they are primarily outsiders and especially with X Men you see the race relations thing, which is great because kids were still reading comics back then and might have made some of them think about things. Even with Ultimate SPiderman(which is the only modern American comic I've really read), you see the tradition continue, although I think they shouldn't have kowtowed to the movie so much. I'm still more of a manga guy myself

The WWF is just doing what it always has, being extremely pro America to get the cheap pop, from the Iron Sheik to Hogan beating up Russians(and Canadians playing Russians) to headbutting the Soviet flag, to La Resistance, to Bradshaw. Why other countries watch any of it boggles my mind, certainly there has to be local wrestling in other countries.

Rock is stupposed to be coming back next month, so couldn't we see Rocky with the belt for at least a brief time before he presumably loses it to someone(probably Hunter again) at Wrestlemania?

And to think my old name was a space away from that(for those who don't remember, I was "Bret Hitman Hart"). No wonder I got so much heat when I joined.

As I have a fair knowledge of Greek tragedy, the tragic hero ALWAYS has at least one character flaw. Achilles was extremely proud, and thus lost his best friend(go read the Illiad). Anyways, what if they had Batman die this way: One last battle with the Joker, he beats Joker to a bloody pulp, then turns his back, and Joker shoots him, end of the issue: shot of Batman's face on the concrete or whatever. There will always be evil in the world, it can only only be contained, never defeated. Tragic ending.

Didn't Mick cover that case in Foley Is Good? Life in prison isn't goign to help this kid though. He needs real mental help.

What are the rules of shootfighting and how are they differant from those of UFC?

I just hate him because he was going to sue a Japanese band called Puffy who wanted to release a CD stateside. They ended up changing their name to Puffy AmiYumi.

I think that the WWE thinks that it has it's next Hogan, it's next Austin, I daresay, it's next Rock. Cena brings charisma galore to all the kids who dig the rap act(he's funny, but I wouldn't ever buy a rap album he did), along with at least competant ring skills. They are going to give him the ever feared GOD PUSH and all us smart marks are going to feel screwed over when Benoit paralyzes himself and has no world title reign(unless they actually gve Benoit a program with Lesnar)(An apology for screwing this up before I looked at it again)

Well, this is one of my fav animes for whatever reason, and as such, why not talk about it? Suckiness of dubs, character relations, whatever. To start things up, here's my take on the Sakura-Tomoyo thing. Maybe I'm just naive, but I think it's closer to very close friends/very strong admiration rather than the more huri leaning stuff I've seen suggested on the web.

I don't know about that. At the end of Endless Waltz, Hilde(that's her name) looked like she was pretty seriously going out with Duo, and Heero was off doing his own thing, but we're getting off topic here.

There's also 1x2(or Heero/Duo) from Gundam Wing, which makes nos nense at all. The nwhole thing that bothers me with CCS is EVEN IF you go screwing with Wing, the characters are at least of consenting age, whereas Sakura and Tomoyo are in the 6th grade by the end and Sakura's falling for Li. In fact, Tomoyo backs off near the end so that relationship can develop, but again I say, THESE ARE KIDS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!

I am finding that the whole 1 death is a tragedy, a million deaths are ba statistic thing is comign into play. I haven't been on the board that long, but I remember a lot more sympathy for Crash Holly when he died, and let's face it, he wasn't a great wrestler by any strech of the imagination. I have heard of this man, although I don't think I ever saw one of his matches, and, drugs or not, it is sad. It is sad whenever anyoen dies. Plain and simple. And yes, there should be some kind of investigation, or rather, there should have been, a long time ago. Remember what jake said in Beyond the Mat? I bet he wasn't alone there.

I saw it, liked it. I liked the first CCS movie better though.

Has anyone else just marked out at the very sight of a wrestler? Just looking at the guy/gal coming out and being like dang, he/she looks like an awesome fighter. I pretty much became an instant fan of Ultimo Dragon and Ken Shamrock like that.

Just remember, it isn't as bad as the days when just about all of the black wrestlers had to dress up like savages or something. But yes, this as a stupid angle that came about from the Iraq situation. Mark my words, though, we'll be seeing Iron Sheik again before long...

Thanks for clearing that up. Sad though.

First of all, excuse me for sounding stupid and/or rude, but what happened to this fellow, Ruass Haas? I would agree that the Haas Brothers would be a strong possibility, and that possibly Shelton would be feuding with Brock(it's possible), OR, maybe teaming with Brock again as the Stretching Crew. That would be neat, because then you'd have a really good tag threat, but that would mean Benoit/Angle for the title, and I think WWF/E doesn't want to have an ex cruiserweight as their champ. At least not since Jericho.

By the way, the Bubblegum Crisis opening song was "Konya wa Hurricane", or Tonight There's A Hurricane

I know Robotech was 3 shows, I should have clarified. I meant was the Macross Saga part of Robotech close to the storyline of Macross.

I just wanted to thank the person who posted this info. Thanks to them, I ended up with Summerslam '99 Survivor Series '00(I think, I didn't look qt the copuright at the copyright at the end) Rebellion '01 nWo: Back In Black as well as a couple of Robotech DVDs, Dune, and Blair Witch 2

Amen, Dames

True enough, but that song is clearly a lesbian love song, although, I suppose, if it's cut correctly, it could work with the nutcase gimmick

I think some of the big guys are suffering for the simple reason that they my be getting set up to only do the basic moveset. For example, Kane developed the flying clothesline, but since then, what nig man has used anything equivalant?

That is weird. To the best of my knowledge she's not running a lesbian gimmick...is she? I don't get to really see Raw, but I always thought she was just a weirdo freak, at least, that's what I could get from her appearance in the Wrestlemania 19 game
