Slayer

Six games

Oh yeah, and those two last games between the Braves and Mets in '99 were good too, I forgot Especially the supposed incident of Ricky Henderson and Bobby Bonilla ditching the team to go play cards in the clubhouse in Game 6

I personally think 99 was a nice story. 96 was kind of cool. 98 was just a massive team. And what in all hell have the Cubs done to get anyone interested in the last decade? And this game is still well in hand Putting my Yankee hatred aside slightly... I can see '96 being big, because it was the first WS win since '78 (oooh, a whole 18 year difference... allright allright I can't supress it entirely), but it also left Yankee fans somewhat empty because their most beloved player from the previous 13 seasons had retired the year previous, thus leaving him ringless. '98, powerhouse team, I can see that. Not sure about '99... something felt so empty about that year... killed the Rangers yet again (3rd time in 4 years, big deal), beat the Red Sox (been doing that for years) and beat the Braves (been there done that) The only interesting thing from the '99 postseason was the Jim Gray-Pete Rose incident

I would laugh so hard if this thread fails to break 5 pages

Haven't played it, but seeing the pictures and commercials makes me think it's just Tekken with a lot more "Kings".

Not enough needless Yankee hating <inserts some>

I never actually watched the series, but I heard it has explained the sword powers, etc. Anyone care to relay that to me?

Knowing Vince, he'd try to make something more subtly offensive, like Chinese Hunters In Kungfu Suits

Face it, for the most part, since the early 90's or so, modern day hockey jersey designers have been hitting and missing quite badly. For every good uniform design in the last couple years... Whalers to Hurricanes 'Diques to Avs Canucks late 90's redesign LA Kings redesign (though I liked the silver and black design) There's a horrible design or idea... Mighty Ducks - Who thought that shade of green and that shade of purple would go well together, WHO? The original Coyotes uniform - WTF logo was that, first, and color combo bad on the eyes. Thankfully fixed with this years better looking uniform Minnesota - When I first saw this, combined with the original Coyotes uniform, I wondered what the NHL's obsession was with this combination of green and red. Calgary dropping flaming C (one of my personal favorite logos in sports) off the road (now home) jerseys in favor of a flaming horse Flyers dropping the orange classic road (now home) uniform in favor of black Bruins alternate golden abomination And that's ignoring the '96 abominations that were the Islanders ferryman uni, along with the Anaheim and LA alternate unis, since the NHL did have the good sense to yank the plug on those quickly. Actually I could rant on how sports logo designers in general have jumped the (San Jose) shark majorly on logo designs in the last 10-15 years, but that's another thread

Ahhhhhh attack of the Giant signature

Ah yes, Cliqueness galore.

I find it funny that in the NWA/WCW's two most notable "I Quit" matches (Magnum-Blanchard and Flair-Funk), the loser actually said "I Quit"... gasp In the WWF's two notable IQ matches, they had some stupid ending to copout later (Backlunds "Blarearrrgh" and Foley's pre-taped "I Quit")

Asians get absolute zero heat?

Speaking of ineffective and unappealing hosses...

Burn...

Is that such a bad thing? </mildfacetiousness> Love the sig, BTW

Uh oh... Japanese Mafia vs. Italian Mafia? I smell Son of Gang Wars here

conspiracy theories... I want to have intelligent conversations on assorted conspiracy theories but can't figure which forum is the appropriate one. While CE is the de facto political discussion forum, some conspiracies are hardly current (JFK's been dead for 40 years now).

I'm guessing this is the right one, since you're a mod... a mod wouldn't lie to me... right? "Mutoh purposely driving AJ into the ground?" "All tape traders want your money" "Emeril Lagasse made Paul Prudhomme fat" Too easy

I work for Campus Media at my university Essentially I'm an AV/tech geek I'm working towards teaching college math, either ju-co or maybe 4-year (dunno if I want to get a PhD yet)... although that's a different thread there

Living in Kansas, I can assure you Royals fans have never refered to him as Chris "Fucking" Chambliss But then again, KC finally got over the Yanks in '80, and got their WS win in '85, so they have nothing to be bitter about now... except for Paul Glass' tight checkbook

The explanations seem plausible (I too hated Hulk Hogan for that... and for a lot of other things too) BUT With the exception of the political play, it doesn't explain why the push was aborted. I mean, he certainly wouldn't have been the first relatively ineffective and unappealing (if that's what the perception was) hoss that Vince said "I'm gonna push him anyway because he's a hoss, dammit". I think a push would've worked out if done right, but that's just my opinion
