Masked Man of Mystery

This is bleepin' retarded. Stripper comptetion

But do they ever use the ropes to get a pinfall?

He really is. Only Eddie can stay face while using every heel tactic in the book.

SHUT UP ABOUT THE GOD FORSAKEN BLACKHAWK HELICOPTORS!

Nope - the best in the series is VPW2. VPW2 has an incredible mask generator and no slowdown, plus it has an awesome shoot- fighting mode. It is greater then No Mercy. Although I think WrestleMania XIX is a very underrated grappler - Revenge mode really kills it for most people, which I can understand. I assume that is the Japanese game upon which one of the American AKI games is based on and would be rather hard to get in the US

I own: WCW/nWo World Tour WCW/nWo Revenge WCW Mayhem WWF No Mercy WWF/E Wrestlemania X8 Best: WWF No Mercy Worst: WCW Mayhem

The only thing No Mercy is missing is luchadore masks. I think No Mercy and Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium are the 2 best wrestling games I've ever played.

I'm sorry, but like him or not, Elvis Presley is the reason rock and roll became what it did. No Elvis, no pop music as we know it. I'd put him #1. He wasn't the greatest singer, and he wasn't great on the guitar, but by God, the man just did somethign so innovative that it literally shook the foundation of pop music, whihc at that point might have still swing, with maybe some early rock and whatnot.

Yes it's the English translated version. Who released it, and is it available in the States?(Sorry, i just want to track that down if I can) The English translated manga is published by Viz and the first three volumes are currently available in the U.S. Thank you so much.

Well, I think the majority of the hardcore fans(and maybe some puro fans if they could get some nice talent) would watch it, and well, the marks would probably stick with the Hoss brigade

it'd be neat if he was there just to say good bye the right way. No match, no refereeing. I don't know how well he recovered from his stroke but my mom had a stroke in '96 and has never quite been the same since

I;m guessing we'll see that Joh Heiden-whatever and Matt Morgan with the World belts before long. Not to mention the rotting corpse of Andre the Giant. And all before Ultimo Dragon gets a cruiser belt shot(and yes, I am giving up hope on tha, at least until the WWE shows me otherwise)

Well, I suppose they could raid ROH and TNA for talent and leave them with no one but 3 Live Crew, Jarret, and Raven. Not to mention raiding MMA(Tito Ortiz, etc.) And promptly have them all job to one of the following: HHH Lesnar Orton Morgan

I was gonna say he probably held a WCW title during the Invasion angle

They tried booking him as a monster heel by having him utterly destroy Zach, Kendrick, and London. It just me with a bad taste in my mouth. I think that the utter arrogance is great, but then in the ring when someone looks to throw a submission on him have him UTTERLY PANIC. He has a big, expressive face whihc could be used well if he bugs out and chickens out. He csan draw the heat, but when he's ahead, he's the same old unbeatable Brock

What if the WWF/E/I don't care anymore bought some time during either Saturday mornings or like early afternoons, like 12 Eastern ish, and took all the Cruiserweighst and put them on that show? Obviously, you can't have the kind of angles they've been running recently(ie Kane burning JR et all) but you have some simple storylines running, and let the cruisers run wild, and kids can watch, because you intentionally make sure this is kid friendly, and not only do the cruisers get to to do their thing, you now get a HUGE marketing thing going because kids will buy Rey Mysterios masks and action figures and Ultimo action figures(Rey may well be the most kid friendly person in the organization right now) and whatever and HH won't have a threat to to his belt because you'd have a cruiser singles and tag team belts and you could bring in all kinds of international talent and it won't matter if they can speak English because it won't be necessary and I think the majority of the hardcore wrestlign fans would tune in too. Heck, if it worked in the 80s why can't it work now?

Have you ever thought that maybe there might be just a SMIDGEN less terrorism if there weren't people occupying land they have no right to have and attacking civillians in retaliation for terrorist attacks. I have no problem eith Israel defending ITS land. The occupied territories are not their land. They also have WMDS, but I see no one giving them any flack. I see no one giving the US flack for having WMDs when we say othewr countires must give them up to join the civilised world. We're only encouraging people to attack us by doing what we're doing. North Korea's the threat, and by and large we've been ighnoring them until now. Let's face it, sometimes you have to deal with the devil. THERE'S a country that needs to lose the WMDs, because the fellow running that country( forgot how to spell his name, so sue me) IS crazy enough to use 'em. If you wish to ignore, by all means. I don't intend to be a huge presence in this folder, I'd rather be the Ultimo Dragon mark that hopes and prays he gets onto Smackdown in some capacity. Please, go on ahead with giving the world the finger, and when no one helps us out, we can all go back and remember times like these. By the way, I do not give a darn what religon you are. If Jewish people vote Democrat, fine, if they vote Republican, well, by all means. All I know is that I'm a Roman Catholic who disagrees with a lot of my churches policies, and I know all about how religons shouldn't mean a thing when it comes to politics, at least not politics like this

our idea of talented

Well, other than the occasional John Walker Lindt(or however his name's spelled), the majority of America's fundamentalists are Christian evangelicals. And they are waging a culture war just as hard as the Muslim fundamentalists are. They just aren't straping bombs to themselves. Instead, they get on Tv and scam people into sending them money. If they could pull that off, I very much doubt they;d be as nasty, or if we did the right thing andf got the Israelis out of the occupied territories instead of giving them F-16s

Yes it's the English translated version. Who released it, and is it available in the States?(Sorry, i just want to track that down if I can)

Actually, Zascz, you have the right idea, this should be about combating fundamentalism, but it hasn't been since we ousted the Taliban, and well, first off, you can't kill an idea, you can only kill people, and dead extremists make for good martyrs, and second, we have fundamentalism in our own country, it's why the US is so backward about freakin' gay marriage. We can't stop it here, why can we stop men you believe so deply in their cause that they would kill themselves for it?

KEEP THE MASK. By the way, I distinctly remember Hayabusa did spend some time wrestling as H, then came back as Hayabusa, they mentioned it on the Tokyopop DVDs. Why I don't know though

Pleas excuse this double post.

Only reason why I want himn sticking around is because that's the only way i'll be able to see him. He is being misused, but I'm still hopin'. Not everyone can go around buying puro tapes on the net ya know

Springboarding off the Heyman thread, who do you hope will or think will be cut? Sadly, the people who should be cut won't be, but I hope they hold onto Ultimo
