The Mandarin

Oh my God, this game won't end. The Raw overrun is going to interfere with my taping of Danielson vs. Homicide!

That was good but I preferred the other Akio vs. Paul London matches more. The last match that I thought was very good was Hardy vs. Edge in a cage, but I don't know if it was "****". Hardy's best match ever. Cena vs. Jericho (RAW) was also recent and even better than that match.

Collyer vs. Walters (ROH is on Fight Network right now) has been very good. Walters really could be a good addition to the SmackDown roster. Does he still wrestle? We aren't getting this in Canada right now, which may be a good thing.

I donno, I heard it was garbage.

What's on UFC's Ultimate Collection? I've never heard of it before.

Now all we need is Sensible Randy Orton and it will be just like 2004! ..Oh God no.

Eddie winning the Rumble, going to Raw and beating Shawn Michaels and Triple H for the belt would have been pretty good. I still would have had Goldberg-Lesnar though (hey, it was a dream match) and done Benoit over Angle instead. Regardless, this isn't fantasy booking. My other favourite moments from SmackDown in '03: -Brock destroying Zack Gowen and Spanky in two weeks -Brock d. Rey Mysterio in a really, really good match -Filthy Animals vs. WGTT Pt. II -Eddie's feud with John Cena; including the episode where Eddie had the huge entrance in his home town -WGTT vs. Los Guerreros tag title switch Of course, on SmackDown in late '03, you also had Vince vs. Stephanie, Big Show's awful US title reign, a lacklustre A-Train push and the goddamn Bashams.

Someone in the crowd has a "HHH fears CM Punk" sign, making it something like the 80th show where if you look closely, you can find CM Punk's name. Awesome.

You should have considered it before the KKK removed your child. Anyways, I'm not going to join in on the spanking discussion but the old biddies were way out of their league on this one. From what it sounds like, that incident could have traumatized your son (being frigging abducted at age 3) more than any spanking could have. I hope your wife got an apology too.

2003 was so, so bad. I blame Triple H and Kevin Nash.

One question- When are these FSN (or whatever French channel it is) Impact episodes playing (in Canada)? Because Scott Keith a big stupid man said they showed the reportedly ***** triple threat from the last PPV which I was too cheap to buy. Answers would be nice.

Oh, man did the commercial that aired during Impact look good. God bless Sam Mendes. Road to Peridition and American Beauty are two of my favourite movies of all time.

Adam; Eve.

Haven't met any wrestlers that were "pricks". Austin Aries and Colt Cabana are cool guys and seemed to enjoy chatting a bit. Getting a smile and handshake from Ric Flair was tremendous. Can't remember anybody else.

My copy of Bret vs. Flair from Saskatoon doesn't work.

Disappointing. Where are Vader, Billy Graham and Harley Race? They've all signed legends contracts, haven't they? And I'd much rather have 80's Flair and Ricky Steamboat over two variations of Hogan.

Just saw the BK as a construction worker commercial for the first time. My friend screamed.

Haw, glennsoe got his question answered.

Speaking of which, Dragon's coming to wrestle for a Toronto indy in January. I'll be away on vacation, but I'd like to go see it.

I want to see the spicy guy vs. the Burger King. ***3/4 instantly.

Only a few hours until we find out if we get Vader(~!). Vader not being on the game would be a huge disappointment. It's Vader.

It wasn't my fault.

That instructional video was tremendous. Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

I'd rather see girls playing poker. No I wouldn't.
