The Mandarin

I'd take offense to the above post, but that maple leaf is so crudely drawn, it looks like some dude dressed up as a ghost while wearing leather pants.

Amazon.com has it for $17 and change. Try this link. The book looks like quality but the cover is pretty amateur in appearance. I ended up scrambling money together and I'm already halfway through the book.

I watched until they supposedly got into a casino with a secret camera. Nice try.

Obviously the cop plays a lot of GTA and he thought the guy had 100 life points when he started hitting him. Cop: *whacks him over the head* *stops* Quick, somebody get this guy a hooker!

So they never discovered who the hell he really was?

I caved it in and bought it two hours ago. I just passed page 100. It's been really entertaining so far, the road stories he shares are hilarious. I'm guessing it gets even better once he gets into WCW/WWF.

I'm just assuming that Ric Flair and Vince McMahon know best for when it's time for Flair to leave. Flair still has some credibility and he's still getting a reaction (even though it has nothing to do with his current ringwork, rather his affilliation and his legend status), so once Ric Flair decides to call it a career, then I'll accept that. I just don't think he should retire now as long as it's keeping his morale up and not being a bother to anybody backstage.

The only respectable one on that list is Montel. And he got busted for carrying weed.

What about a Honkey? ...horse and donkey. Horse and donkey.

La Parka. I'd ask him why he loves the chair so much, what his stance on politics is and if he knows Kamala.

That match did indeed boost Ric's confidence and he got the tribute he deserved afterwards. Good for him. Why is that such a bad thing? Flair's obviously past his prime and can't hold up with the rest of the guys in the ring, but is he really that unwatchable or are you just finding something to complain about? Obviously, he's having the time of his life and the fans are still reacting, so more power to him.

The only thing stopping me from running out and getting this book right now is the $40.00 price tag. I only have $35 on me right now.

1)Austin vs Rock-WM 17 (24-7) 5)Bret vs Owen-WM 10 (30-1) 3)Rey vs Eddie-Halloween Havoc '97 (19-12) 7)HHH vs HBK vs Benoit-WM 20 (23-8)

3. Benoit and Al Snow 8. Rob Conway

Just wait until they get to the remake of "Kramer vs. Kramer", with Kane in the role of Dustin Hoffman.

Or in the immortal words of one Dusty Rhodes, "There's a lady! There's a lady in the men's bathroom!"

It's hard to say if I agree with you or not on most of the points you made in this column. I don't have any of the tapes from 2001 and can vaguely remember most of the storylines and matches from this time. That's why I'm a fan and you're the critic. There's no way I could debate with you on any points you made in your column. With four hours or more of wrestling a week (and this was pre-brand split), and multiple storylines going on, it was hard to judge any of the storylines by themselves rather than judging a single show for its entertainment value. Still, it was a very well written column. Are you only doing 2001, or are you doing other years as well?

XFL How do they plan to air RAW live?

Ingrid is totally annoying. Neither of the two Schmos are as loveable as Matt (Joe Schmo the First? Schmo Sr? Schmo Classic?). I saw the DVD in stores today, but didn't buy it. I know I'm gonna regret that. Anyways, I knew it was Ernie once Piper started hating on him. Gerard, Bryce, and Ralph + Montecore are saving this show.

Ugh. Imagine if the contestants on "American Idol" had have sang the SAME SONGS over and over again with the odd one being something new for the select performer, but still a bad version of a song that has been repeated many times by more talented performers. That is this show. Minus the whole singing part.

If I was reviewing this movie for a magazine, I'd judge it entirely on the cinematography, and the text in the end credits. Whatever I'd say about the movie's context, I know I'd get tons and tons of hate mail for it either way. No mercy for the movie critics.

There's one reason as to why the producers voted as they did. They want a reality show. Not a legit competition. I guess a bunch of actual comedians wouldn't make for entertaining TV. I guess they'd be too much alike-- they'd actually be likeable, funny people. Instead, they chose a bunch of diverse, stereotypical duds-- the obnoxious one always looking for attention (Glass), the gay guy (Ant), the freak (London), the loudmouth Italian (..the loudmouth Italian) and the rest (slut, nerd, the Jewish stud, etc.) Going with basic reality TV formula, they grouped all these people together to play off eachother. Really, this is no more different than one of the other two thousand reality shows out there.

..she looks oddly like Kip in that second picture.
