I always forget about that, good point.

I had a roomate when I was stationed at Camp Lejeune. He went to Iraq at the beginning of the war, and his entire unit had no ammo for their M-16's. They put cigarette packs into the magazine chamber instead and had black/silver tape around them to make them look like magazines. Ridiculousness.

It's war. What do people expect? I realize that there are women/children being killed/murdered, but if faced with a situation that our troops are faced with, I doubt anyone here would react differently, I know I wouldn't. You never know who has a bomb strapped to their chest, who is neutral, who is bad, who is good, etc.

Because that shit is tasteless, and my prefered choice. I just generally disagree with it, that's all. You can eat whatever you want, when you want, as long as you work it off. There's no need for name calling, it's rather uncalled for.

I was refering to his look, like attraction level. He doesn't hold a candle to Orton in that department. But almost everywhere else, he blows him out of the water.

Eh. The WWE knows they are all vastly talented, I think they would offer them a more realistic deal than what TNA/others pay them.

Wow. Lack of knowledge. Punk has been around for some time now, I'm thinking in like '98 or close by is when he started. Definitely not a rookie. But, he is a "rookie" in WWE standards. Because you're career hasn't started until you've wrestled for them. Watch some of his RoH stuff, you'll see he hasn't improved, he's always been good.

The Lake House Ever After Both are Christmas presents for my girlfriend.

Jesus. Organic food? Quit being a bitch, and eat a f'n bacon cheeseburger, or some steak. If you're so worried about gaining weight, and not looking like the poster model, run, exercise, lift weights, have sex often.

Why couldn't the WWE go after Joe/Styles/Danielson/Daniels instead?

I bet Ken told him he was a great fighter.

CM Punk as the most improved?

How is a scoop slam on the Big Show more impressive than a FU? Do you think it's harder to do a scoop slam than a FU? Try it on one of your "overweight" friends, and tell me which is harder to accomplish. The person taking the scoop slam does most of the work, pushing off pretty much. I don't see them doing that for an FU. Regarding Big Show as being lazy, I am sure he is. It's often difficult for a man of his size to do successful cardiovascular exercises, one because of his enormus size, and two because it requires a far greater amount of stamina/endurance than the normal human being. Cut the man some slack, he's entertaining, and pulls out great matches considering his health issues. And saying Andre was better than the Big Show in the ring is ridiculous. I never saw Andre take a belly-belly suplex, or a powerbomb, Angle Slam, FU. No, he was just scoop slammed a few times by Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. Andre to me at least, was just a spectacle, because of his size. He had no mobility in the ring post mid 80's. The Big Show has damn good reflexes/mobility.

That was really too short of a trailer to be effective. The graphics look great, the detail is good. Speaking of wrestling games on the N64, what is your favorite one?

Smith obviously. But this is the WWE were talking about. Compare Orton to Smith, who is more marketable? Orton, cause of his looks, charisma.

*****1/2? I'm hoping that's a typo.

Oh yeah, forgot about him. He's definitely a shoe in for a World title run.

That's all I use right now, is paper money. I used to have a debit card, but that was when I was in the service.

The World title scene on all three shows is hard to determine where they should go. Raw: Cena, his third title reign since WrestleMania 21, stale, boring, etc. Edge, has had two reigns, one a hotshot, and another a two month, best heel in the WWE right now, soild in the ring, soild on the mic. Orton, I hate him on a personal basis, is average in the ring, and ok on the mic. HHH, ten time champion, slowing way down, still can pull out a ****, still entertaining on the mic. HBK, four time champion, way past his prime + time, might be able to pull out a ****, can still talk. Flair, billion time champion, needs to retire before he is seriously injured/killed, can still talk with the best of them. Umaga, former 3MW throw away, turned into an unstoppable monster, is ok in the ring, has potential. J. Hardy, a former shoe in to a World title reign, still popular with the younger girls, can still perform when motivated. Johnny Nitro, a up and comer, can perform well, has Melina, is young, a future champion. Shelton Benjamin, his time for a title reign wa sin late '04 - early '05, talented in the ring, and has charisma. Kenny, still very green, inexperienced, needs a couple good feuds to get him moving. Carlito, charismatic, has Torrie, is good when he wants to be, can talk, entertaining. Masters, no one has broken his Masterlock yet, is what the WWE likes + wants, below average in the ring + mic. M. Hardy, like his brother, but better in the ring and on the mic. SmackDown: Batista, second reign, getting up there in age department, needs a new gimmick, should revert back to a heel Leviathan. King Booker, injury prone, can still go in the ring, is entertaining, can talk. Benoit, one of the best in the ring, getting old, cannot talk, little to no charisma, the most intensity. Finlay, is talented in the ring and on the mic, one of the best brawlers around, old. Rey Mysterio, injury prone, lost his "mystique" a few years ago, can still perform. Kennedy, a shoe in to become a World champion, can talk very well, and performs well. Undertaker, 44 years old, body is broken, can still entertain, needs to retire. Kane, his whole gimmick was destroyed once he lost his mask. MVP, has charisma. Regal, can perform like Benoit, injury prone, is a snobbish arrogant asshole. Helms, talented in all aspects, young, but not "WWE size". ECW: Lashley, a clone of Monty Brown, is a genetic freak, has potential. RVD, can do it all, is mega-popular with ECW fans, should be champion. Punk, a shoe in to be a future World champion, mega talented in all aspects. Sabu, needs to retire for his personal safety. Test, a joke. Big Show, needs to retire for his health. Dreamer, a shell of his former self. Sandman, should have retired in 2001. Holly, a go no where wrestler. Terkay, has potential, right gimmick at the right time. Knox, has potential. Thorn, would have mad eit in 1998 with the Brood. Burke, has potential, is a good talker. Dupree, could be better used, has potential. Wilcards: Monty Brown, is a generic "Goldberg" type. Johnny Jeter, was a Sprit Squad member, is talented, been compared to Jericho. Rodimer, has impressive size, could be made into a monster. "Double C" Claudio Castagnoli, needs to team with Regal/Taylor. That's about all I can think of right now.

That Rey Mysterio Jr would be the Heavyweight champion, and hold it for a good period of time

Eh, I consider a good heel to be Raven in ECW, or Flair in the Horsemen, or HHH in 2000. Batista is just another bland, steroid freak to me.

Agreed. There's a lot going on, hard to keep up with TNA right now. They seem to change focus/feuds every week. Not too long ago it was Cage/Rhyno, now it's Styles/Rhyno and Cage/Abyss/Sting. I want to see Angle / Joe III though.

I think they should just cut their losses, and bury this failed project. Punk, Lashley, RVD, Mercury, and a few others could be used on SmackDown, Raw, or TNA.

There's not many good message boards anymore. I used to post on ezboards, but they got old, people left, people were weird, and there were way to many inside jokes/cliches. Just keep looking, you'll find something.

I don't think he's a very good heel either. What sets him apart from every other steroid freak? Nothing comes to mind.
