Outside the box: I'd sign a new announcer team, a new ring announcer, and keep Cornette & Zbyszko off of television. Tenay, Penzer, Larry, and Cornette reek of 90's everyday Nitro/bad Raw and are absolutely against everything TNA claims to stand for by representing a dead era of wrestling, and they're the "never-weres" of that generation to boot. In that, Penzer was no Finkel, Tenay never worked for Vince, Larry Z is a never-was and only a legend in his own mind, and Cornette was a fill-in announcer who's last real "authority" came making shoot segments that he later claimed he was sorry he did and being the leader of the aborted NWA in 1998. Here's what people who casually watch WWE and haven't heard of TNA say when I show them a few matches, THESE ARE NOT MY THOUGHTS NECESARILY: 1) It looks like a big choreographed dance routine. 2) Jeff Jarrett is the World Champ? 3) Sting is alive? 4) Why do they YELL LOUDLY FOR EVERY MOVE? So I kind of agree with them: - Too many "old never-were" wrestlers in top spots. - Too many spots and not enough wrestling. - Horrid announcing. Basically, what announcers or respectable main draws COULD they bring in?

Cubs...just do...something. Need a STL loss. Phils gotta stay strong in NY with the Reds/Cards both getting "lay-up" series with two sinking/sunk dog teams. If they can take 2/3 from the Mets, that'd be very good, and hopefully be the last big fight before the craptastic September teams roll up. Although if Leiber can do well tomorrow against a BAD Mets starter and Moyer can go long enough for a win, that'd be really sweet and we'd no doubt gain at least a game on someone (likely the Reds), as I don't see both teams sweeping.

Harts/Demos 88.

"WEW has mostly just put out their DVD collections in the past" WEW airs on PPV quite regularly. So Cal Val was there, managing. There was a pWo member at ringside during the Lumberjane match.

Muraco/Snuka cage, WWF Champ Savage Vs. Andre 1988, Savage's MSG debut (heel, vs. jobber), Rockers/Brainbusters, Rockers/Demolition (88), Rockers/Nastys (91), Slaughter/Putski, Rude/Roberts (First to hit Finisher Wins), Flair/Hogan (91)...

Umaga lost by DQ to Shawn Michaels a few months ago.

I take back my Red Tornado bashing. Issue #1 was excellent and sold me on his upcoming story. But Vixen really sucks.

Leena voiced her opinion and posted my shit and got me back on here after what had to be a record-short 2 week banning. I'm the Nikolai Volkoff to her Ted DiBiase.

Al, bro, 1 back in the loss column! More great September baseball again. Also, I like how dropping 2 of the 3 to the Wildcard leader makes the Astros "on the hunt" or whatever in the Wildcard. RIP Houston.

22 of the Howard's 44 Home Runs have led to tie-game situations or go aheads for the Phillies, don't forget that.

There is a strict 20 count. Each wrestler can only use the ropes to free himself from a pin attempt or submission attempt 3 times and then they won't be able to break a pin/submission with them. Kind of exposes the business, especially recently in matches with Strong/McGuiness and such where they'd all of a sudden use 6 rope breaks in a match just because it adds to the drama. The Pure Title got some steam recently with some wicked defenses but was always lame, inferior, and business-exposing.

Ultimate Spidey #99 is a big "What the Fuck?" story and could either be ultra-important for the future or (more likely) blown off shortly and irrelevant. Ult. Spidey #100 has two different covers, one a variant and one a standard wraparound, both by Bagley. Astonishing X-Men #16 is the weakest issue thus far of the Hellfire Club storyline, also with another "WTF?" moment VERRRRY similar to Spidey's, actually.

I've started collecting the Essential Marvel TPBs. Any suggestions? I've got Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, The Avengers Vol. 1, and Wolverine Vol. 1. _____ I don't need ANY X-Men, as I have every issue of Uncanny/Adjectiveless except for 7 issues from the 60's. I hate the Fantastic Four. Essential Spider-Woman Vol. 1 is HUGE and looks awkward. Stories any good? Essential Ghost Rider Vol. 1 looks cool. Essential Tomb of Dracula. Tell me about this series. Moon Knight, Power Man, Iron Fist, which would be better?

I'd like to let my voice be heard by sending Leena a 1992 pre-SummerSlam Rick Martel-to-Sherri Martel-esque wink.

Ryan Howard's getting the NL MVP if the Phils make it to the playoffs. Speaking of which, just got home from work to see the Reds FINALLY lose. Woohoo! Go Brett Myers, give those Cubbies a beating.

That Pillman DVD lineup is awful.

I declare myself eligible in the draft, and a damn fucking good pick.

I offer my fraternity knowledge, WWE win-loss records, oppurtunities for mixers, and infinite WCW wisdom.

That may have been the most unfunny Raw moment ever.

That's a kickass finisher.

dbl post

That's a kickass finisher.

Prediction: Eventually Jeff Hardy becomes to "Stevie Richards" to Edge's "Raven", not as dramatic but they'll form a stable. Has to happen.

Damnit that crowd just kept Duggan on TV for the next 6 months.

Wow, that's cool that Raw found a way to still air live during the usual break in late August.
