  1. JR saying "the action is hard and heavy" to describe the main event was just the cap on one incredibly gay night of wrestling. I guess without Cena there to make gay jokes, we get different ways to get the homosexual tension across. Thanks writers! Also, I'm not seeing where Booker has been a jobber or even buried since coming to RAW. He won the match over Val (it was Val right?) last week and except for the complete squash that was last night's main event, he has looked pretty good. His gimmick is still hilariously solid and his in ring work is still on par with most of the RAW roster. I can't see him ever getting the title on RAW but I can see him being a main event contender.
  2. War of the Worlds pretty much had NYC destroyed in the opening of the film. So I doubt there is much to say about this film destroying NYC. Now if he put the Towers into the movie via CGI just so he could destroy them? Oh yeah, that might piss people off. And didn't the show 'Heroes' pretty much blow up NYC in an episode as well?
  3. I have Cingular and have avoided signing a new contract since I haven't wanted to upgrade my phone. But thats going to change real soon when I have to double up and share minutes. That's going to suck cause I like my phone but since I'll have to change everything else, I might as well get the free upgrade. It works fine out of my house. In my house...not so much.
  4. What I want to know is this, if my system breaks...do I get a new one or a refurbished one like I did with SONY? I got two of those POS PS2's from SONY and both broke down with the same damn problem I had sent the one before in for. So I waited 4 weeks to play 2 weeks before I had to send it in and wait another 5 weeks! Eventually Sony did make fixing the Disc Read Error problem free but they never repaired one damn system really. Eventually you were forced to by the third run system which didn't have the problem. Now if XBox is fixing the problem for good when you send it in, then yeah they have a much better customer service/repair center. But to call one problem or the other big is stupid since both are big problems when a 300 plus dollar piece of equipment is breaking down for no reason other than faulty design.
  5. As bad as Dusty, Joe and Boomer were. Nothing and I mean NOTHING on Earth is as bad as Steve Phillips, John Kruk and Carl SHUTTHEHELLUP.
  6. Yep, that's one of the things that made me like the guy the very first time I saw him wrestle. He's been doing that since his very first match. You don't see too much of that sort of thing these days other than in Japan. Over the years they've done a lot of that sort of thing. I've never understood why we don't see more of it in the United States. Laziness and lack of thinking. Young rookie wrestlers have spent their lives watching matches where a wrestler who gets picked up for a move typically just passively accepts his fate. Maybe shakes his head and says "no!" before he gets slammed, if he's a real ring general. So most of them never even think about how they'd be fighting like hell to escape, if this situation were real. Someone explain to me: how did Super Crazy NOT win the stupid countdown thing last week? He had the shortest match, by far. It was only available to the four #1 contender nominations.
  7. You know, I was excited to see Kennedy on RAW. Now I just want him sent back to Smackdown. Other than resisting and running away, he did nothing.
  8. Yeah you know, Sheehan is nuts and I didn't think anyone out there still paid attention to her.
  9. Plus if the big thing just destroyed the Statue of Liberty and was headed this way, I'd piss my pants and then kiss my ass goodbye. I may be alone in this, but I'm hoping it's a 20 story Ed Koch.
  10. Great, Kennedy is going to start his first three RAW shows with three straight losses. Well, hopefully this time he at least looks good in defeat. His match against Edge and his "match" against Super Crazy did not make him look good. If anything, his RAW appearance have went a long way to make him look like a comedy act. Which is a damn shame.
  11. Well, I don't see a problem with them doing the stupid filler stuff when nothing is going on. It's when stuff IS going on and they waste time with the stupid stuff that annoys me. Well that and announcing as breaking news that ESPN is now available on cell phones. Nothing like breaking sports news being about yourself. Thank goodness for the bottom line. Then I can just get my score without having to listen to them talk.
  12. You need a geography lesson Reminds me of when someone on here posted that Nebraska was a Southern state as well. Is it that hard to get the basic gist of where the states in your own country are? Geez. I thought Vanhalen was over in the UK? I doubt anyone that passionate about soccer (or football) is from the US.
  13. His best work was on SportsCenter when it was actually about Sports and not whatever the hell the show has become now. The guy has felt stale and uninterested for the past couple of years so this doesn't come as a surprise. Now I'm trying to think who is left on ESPN from the cool years. Olbermann, he gone from the Big Show (though he does ESPN radio but not for long). Craig Kilborn, who knows what he's doing now. Kenny Mayne, does comedy skits for NFL Countdown but thats it. Charley Steiner is out announcing for the LA Dodgers. Disappointing all the best ones I remember are now going to be gone.
  14. Wow, talk about an uninteresting preview. A feud between Candice and Melina is now one of the main feuds on RAW? And Orton vs the Rhodes family? Booker vs Lashley doesn't seem too bad but the rest of that sounds boring as hell.
  15. Dennis Quaid running out of the bullpen in "The Rookie". I'm sure there are more but right now, that's the only one I can think of.
  16. Utah actually. And in Orem, known as FAMILY CITY, USA. Town is coming off more and more like something out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
  17. I've heard of fines for watering your lawn during a drought, but I've never heard of being arrested for not watering your lawn. That just seems a little bit silly.

    Apple Ipods

    Gotta love an Ipod spammer named Killer. Especially one who has split personalities that are aware of each others existence and feel the need to thank themselves for offers.
  19. Couple of small things: A heel color guy- I'm tired of two face announcers agreeing on everything. It was much more fun with guys like Jesse and Bobby the Brain and even heel Lawler than this. Jerry drooling over the women and talking about how horrible the heels are along with JR just takes away the fun back and forth banter. The announcers need a kind of love-hate chemistry when announcing and I don't get that with JR/Lawler anymore. It was great when a heel would hit someone with a chair and the color guy would say, "I can't believe he rammed his head into a chair like that! I hope Randy's hands are ok from holding it while that moron did that." Natural Charisma- A guy who talks and comes off like it's his own thoughts. Right now, every face and heel tosses out jokes that sound straight from MadTV or SNL. We get about 20 gay jokes an episode, "funny" name play and then a lame catchphrase that isn't working but the writers like it and it's going on a t-shirt. Jericho and Austin are right, if it doesn't feel natural and like it's coming from the guy then it's horrid. Cena on Smackdown was a great character, he felt more realistic than on RAW. Every now and then you get flashes but then the horribly lame jokes come and it falls dead flat. This one seems dead and buried. Stop trying to recreate Vince vs Austin- It's gone, it's dead and replacing Austin with someone else doesn't make a compelling storyline. Vince vs whoever just always feels like the sequel to a movie that didn't need a sequel. Not only is it the unwanted sequel, but it's had a re-cast in one of the lead roles and the new guy isn't interesting. Vince was defeated by Stone Cold, he's a worthless villian now. And making it so he's now a threat in the ring just because Vince needs his daily "kiss the boss's ass" segments doesn't make for good television. If Vince wants to do something then he can unleash a new heel from time to time and then GO AWAY. Let the new heel do something, let them wreck havoc for a bit Revamp the main event scene- Sorry, I still don't buy Edge and I just won't. His Rated R interviews are boring, his facial expressions are comically bad and I couldn't have been more thrilled he was moved to Smackdown since I'm never home Friday. Cena is good now and then but this "CAN HE OVERCOME THE ODDS?!" storyline and character has run the course too many times. Plus the scripted jokes? Not funny in the least. I'm waiting for him to call someone a big bad doo doo head. Love the work of Kennedy though so I have hope there but I get the feeling they are going to damage him for 3 to 4 weeks because he still can't go. Booker T is awesome but he's on RAW and HHH will make sure to put the boy in his place again. Lashley is big and boring but I do like his multiple finishers, makes him like a video game character. Make RAW seem faster- Right now, RAW just drags. It's a 2 hour show but it feels like 5. There need to be a few fast pace matches every now and then that take up time but are moving at such a quick pace that the show gets going. Openers full of headlocks and stalling make a show drag immensely. Then what comes along to pick the show back up? The hilarious Eugene segment? The John Cena comedy half hour? Umaga grunts at things and then storms off to beat up Val Venis? Where is the energy? The one thing I can say about TNA is the show doesn't drag lately, sure the run-ins suck but the show feels like an Impact. It's an hour but it feels short for me because there is action mixed in there that is fast paced. WWE and TNA need to learn from each other: TNA needs less run-ins and more clean finishes while WWE needs more fast paced action somewhere in there to make the show seem shorter. There used to be a time when RAW felt way too short and made me WANT next week to come. Now I'm dreading Mondays. If those things come along, I might start enjoying the show and caring more. Now? I can't even mock it with my friend because it's painfully boring and takes forever. I've started to watch re-runs of Enterprise instead and I didn't even like the 2nd season when I saw it the first god damn time!
  20. Ricky and Chris just mocking the importance of the event and it was hilariously awesome.
  21. Add in the 93 million on the foreign side and Transformers opened with a 246 million dollar week. I guess making 90 million in profit your opening weekend is good. I tend to wonder what the box office number would have been if it didn't open on Tuesday to 27 million and pick up another 29 million on Wednesday.
  22. Kids from Florida seem to be really screwed up in the head. I really wonder whats in the water down there. Or have parents just become so lazy in the sunshine state that they forgot they had kids?
  23. So you are saying he looks like Jason Lee.
  24. Alcohol plus anti-depression meds equals major mental fucking trouble. You can be the hardest drinker in the world, those meds will mess you up regardless. Add alcohol to them and you have a very dangerous mind altering combination.
  25. Deer Hunter always feels like one of those movies where if you haven't been in war and lost your mind, you probably won't like it that much. That said, Walken is excellent and really deserved the Oscar.
