Dude, I was lucky to remember my name much less a digital camera. Seriously. Ozzfest was a good time, though. Had a lot of fun with all the locals in the lot. Got to do me a three-story beer funnel w/ 3 beers off the top of a car. Got in there for Zombie, only to be nailed with the giant water hose as I was taking down beers #16 and 17 at around 3:30 pm. At one point, lost from my posse, I cleverly used the alias of "Johnny Seven" (whatever, I was too fucked up to be smarter) to pose as an "up and coming rock artist" (what, me in my $7 Ozzfest shirt and sneakers, of course!) and mingled with some youngins, one of which took me to the bathroom. At that point, uh, some bands played I think. I remember In Flames was loud, BLS (why the f werent they first) rocked the house. Saw Maiden after meeting up with the friends, ventured back and forth from seats to lawns. Oh yeah, one point, this security guard girl, couldnt have been older than 20-21, was smiling and waving. I knew her from somewhere, just dunno where. She was short/skinny, kinda goth, thought she was cute. KIept being nice and letting me walk to the pit. Kissed her head out of respect. That was nice of both of us, I think. Anyway, my brain melted and I was taken home, only to pass out in the car, but not before I was told (today) that I sung Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag" at the top of my lungs with another in the car on the way home. I am told they all went to some bowling alley for a half hour to meet up with others while I was unable to be awakened. Such is life, one big ball filled with holes.

The fact that Philadelphia doesn't carry this is a crime, I'm sick of others having it.

"Also, RVD was NEVER a good promo guy." The RVD promos from just before WrestlePalooza 98 beg to differ. "You see Fonzie, the real question isn't how am I gonna defend my new TV Title. The question is how can Rob Van Dam carry two title belts and my partner at the SAME TIME?" ::Sabu gets in his face:: "He was given the right character, which was given the Austin treatment (close enough to his own, real-life 'character' and then cranked up a notch), he played it well and was entertaining." The last time RVD was himself was in ECW. In WWE he was always "that flippy spot guy who didnt talk and said 'cool'" and was really over because he brought a new style to a WWE ran by the likes of Taker, Triple H, and Austin, and was put in the ME scene for a few months. Once he was jobbed out, the fans lost hope.

No, the matches were planned weeks in advance. They were "announced" at Starrcade 91, with Eric Bischoff, Missy Hyatt, and MAGNUM FUCKING TA doing the drawings. For the 1992 version, they did a drawing for one match at the November Clash of Champions. It was the match with...Cactus Jack, Van Hammer, Johnny B. Badd, and Dan Spivey, I believe were the 4. Odd, because Missy screamed "DANGEROUS DAN SPIVEY!!!!!!!!!!" like it was fucking Ric Flair coming back, despite Spivey not being in a TV angle in over 2 years. 1993 had no pre-drawings, if memory serves. It was actually a seperate event, called "Battlebowl", and drew horrible numbers. Set up the Flair/Vader match, however. 1996 was awful, and was really "sports entertainment" rigged, thus adding no belief. Seriously, they took 8 LOWER CARDERS and put them in a battle royal, with the winner getting a (taken away the next night on Nitro) WORLD TITLE SHOT at the Bash. It's pretty much be like the WWE hyping a TRIPLE H World Title defense, at Survivor Series, against the winner of an 8-man battle royal between: The Hurricane Rosey Rob Conway Tajiri Funaki Tyson Tomko Kerwin White Psicosis Seriously. Picture Conway, who hadnt been on TV for a while, debuting a new move (in this case, a running sloppy Diamond Cutter), winning the thing, AS A HEEL, and the fans going silent. ______ Starrcade 1991 is one of my favorite PPVs *ever*, for what it's worth. You get: - Underdogs Z-Man and Terry Taylor working an AWESOME match against perennial top guys Arn Anderson and World Champ Lex Luger (who bumped crazy for Taylor) - The first look at Jushin Thunder Liger - Sting teams with Abdullah the Butcher - Vader FUCKS UP Nightstalker (Bryan Clarke, Wrath) with a big splash, because 'stalker is doing an illegal pin and not prepared to take the move correctly - Larry Zbyszko being a super dick heel yelling at El Gigante "C'Mon, get 'em! You dummy!" - The BIGGEST SQUASH EVER that night with undefeated Rick Rude and undefeated Steve Austin (well, except a few losses to Sting) against the mighty team of BIG JOSH & VAN HAMMER - Marcus Bagwell actually being built as a star - Steamboat and Anderson beat each other up big-time - THOMAS RICH Vs. STEVE ARMSTRONG segment, when unover jobbers collide! - Same match, Ron Simmons spinebusters fat PN News to hell - Scott Steiner tags with Firebreaker Chip. Scott dominates ARACHNAMAN (!!!!!!!!) and Johnny B Badd. Chip gets pummeled. Scott visibly yells at Chip to get his shit together, then tags in and fucking floors Arachnaman with the top rope belly to belly. And a cool little battle royal at the end, finally seeing Sting get one up on Luger.

"Come back I got more candy for you!" Eddie?

I'll go with Cemetary Man, go Everett.

I'll hafta pick up Aquatic this weekend.

DeNucci...son of Foley's trainer?

Bubba claims Jericho wasn't put over by Triple H because, as the hosts stated, "he was a WCW/indies" guy. But the character was created by WWF. Y2J. Jericho was never above the TV Title level in WCW. Bullshit.

Why are the mark hosts asking about Triple H? "He's the World Champion" - Freudian slip...

Ok. Bubba put over the Dudleys Vs. Booker/RVD match from the Raw the week before the draft as the last great tag match. On the way to Raw this week I remember having a discussion about this match being the worst tag title match I've ever seen. Not for the workers involved, but the pacing and infinite restholds. I was there.

Dudleys in upper 2% of all-time tag teams?

He did say "in the WWE", but there is no difference. He referred to them for when they worked for the company. Plus, he puts over JARRETT's CREATIVE MIND. Apparently the tape of MNM Vs. Dudleys from OVW got MNM brought to Smackdown the following week.

Actually, your reply makes no sense. For you to "see it coming", it would mean that a lot of people share the opinion, and you think they're wrong. I started the phrase off with "I'm in the major MINORITY...". See, I was right all along. You and a lot of people think the movie was good because you perceive it as smart, just like you think your reply was witty. In the end, both suck.

They need to keep Tomko on the payroll, as say, Carlito's new bodyguard. At Survivor Series, have Carlito and Tomko clowning around, like best buddies, watching matches while eating popcorn and such. Christian rolls up, looking jealous, like an ex-boyfriend seeing his ex with the new flavor of the month. He can keep trying to tell funny jokes as they sarcasticly grin.

These hosts are awful, talking over each other and being so not funny. Bubba says everyone that got cut would never get over or wouldnt have the oppurtunity to get over. Says Haas needs personality and will be a "good wrestler", Jimmy Yang was the best. Jeff Jarrett has a good creative mind.

Michaels is a heel. Clearly. He was too scared to come to the ring to face Hogan. He basically thinks he's better. He KNOWS he can beat Hogan. And he said, that unlike all the other guys, no one that faced Hogan had the skills & passion that Michaels has/had. He feels Hogan has to step up to his level. Michaels will likely win. How hard is it to see?

Makes me feel lucky that the pills of...uh...something I bought in the crowd during Zombie yesterday didn't get me Rodney King'd.

Philadelphia > NYC Friendlier people (you'll always have your assholes either way), less fucking bums begging for money, more interesting shops that don't scream "Hey! We're not TRYING to be different!", more likeable sports teams (Phillies, 76ers, Knicks, Mets, Rangers all blow, so it's basically Eagles/Flyers Vs. Jets/Yankees), better cheesesteaks, less of those annoying EMOtastic college idiots sleeping on streets waiting for tickets to "Rent", cheaper prices for pizza (I'll take a $1.00 slice off of a scary man hanging out his restaurant's window over the $3.50 "deal" because it's "NY - The City", I did like the pizza in little italy NY however). Take South Street for example, you can walk and see all the good stuff, not take a goddamn subway with your little gold tokens to avoid the lines and potential muggers, cowboys, hippies, or homeless cretins annoying you. I can't comment on the strip joints of NY, though. I'm sure that's got us beat. The clubs are way too overpriced in NY. Fuck the A-List of "hot clubs", I don't go there to pay you $40 just so I can stand in the walkway and look at people while waiting to get past a coat check. I can go Philly and pay $10-15 and fucking hook-up with some fucking girl who doesn't act like she's some fucking hot shit that "stepped outta Brooklyn, yo", even though she's from Bergen County. Sports you got Lincoln Financial Field, nicer than any North Jerz on NYC stadium. Food you got Pats, Ginos, or Tony Lukes. Basically, you walk into THE CITY in NY and sit down, you're gonna deal with a buncha pricks and overpriced food. You find a speakeasy in Philly, you get some proud papa that'll serve you a decent mean and not be a dick. Basically, go Philly. Our town is nicer per square mile. Philly's mayor is a horrible scumbag though. How Philly got him I'll never know............

My first reaction is: Why pay for music? But I'm curious. I'll be the first to admit I'm behind on the whole 'legal aspect' of downloading music? For instance, if you use LimeWire, is it: 1) Illegal to even DL one song? 2) Illegal to burn CDs for your own personal use? 3) Illegal to burn CDs to play for friends (i.e. parties) ? Could someone explain the total legality issues concerning DLing music? Much appreciated. I see tons of commercials with "Win a free download!" and such, and figured they were cracking down, severely.

Wes Anderson - the most deserving of all directors who make shit at the box office with the most boring talent. I hated Tenenbaums, but every person I know likes it. And its not a "they're smart moviegoers" thing. They usually hate intelligent flicks. I know the movie has some good characterization and all, and a great family dynamic, I just hate every single actor/actress in the movie. I'm in the major minority, but I think the movie is for fucking dweebs. Didn't see Life Aquatic yet, unfortunately. I remember it was out during December '04, and the stoners I was with picked the useless BLADE: TRINITY to go see Triple H speak about the size of his penis, instead. Sigh. Would have thought that Murray would be awesome in it and I look forward to seeing if it holds up. Sigh. I found Rushmore to be decent, btw. A good 2 AM flick that you rant about to your friends. The type they'll watch and say "Decent", but not find your recommendation mind-blowing. Because the movie isn't. It's a decent movie. Regardless, no Wes Anderson movie should be seen in a theatre.

"plugs on VH-1" ? Uh...when a shitty Hulk Hogan show is your network's #1 show in history, I don't know how many fans you're realistically gonna draw from advertising there. The show deserved a 9.0 rating, which was the number of times I felt like leaving my seat, starting with the awful matches during Heat and finishing with a dark match involving 6 megastars who decided to punch their way through a 15 minute snoozer, with 5 of the 6 never even teasing, much less hitting, a finisher to psyche the crowd up. Fuck Raw.

Carlito possesses a decent look and an on-the-ground, cheap heel attack game that will keep him healthy. His charisma is good. Thus, he will be pushed. Since moving to Raw, he has been exposed.

I just got KFC. Holy shit Ive been puking up Cherry Choke and chicken for like a 1/2 hour. It just keeps coming. Ate too much methinks. My cherry choke cup now gives a new meaning to the word "free REFILL".

True, but RVD lives in CA now. If they want the "home state pop", I guess. And they're in Ohio Monday, BTW, not Michigan.
