The Mandarin

From what I've seen so far, they've just tried to cram way too much into this show and I'm not liking it as much as I want to. Triple H heel turn would have been much more impactful on another night when it was built up all show. Austin segment was horrendous.

Did you see him doing a delayed pendulum backbreaker to Shelton Benjamin in the SVR 2006 trailer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's amazing how Carlito has desensitived me enough to where if he does something horribly basic, like a dropkick, I act like he just did a Arabian facecrusher on somebody. Off a cage. Watching him do his little Downward Spiral-type move or a neckbreaker is like seeing the face of God smiling. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's the best thing I've read in a while. I agree completely.

I thought the best part of the commercial was Triple H pleading with Kurt Angle either to eat or pass the potatoes and then repeating himself within the span of two seconds at the very beginning.

That's an understatement.

Nobody won. WWE put out one of their worst DVDs ever, which will probably sell a bunch of copies, the Warrior's got the attention he craves and I had to read and hear some fucking garbage from Warrior and WWE (but mostly Warrior). I prefer WWE by far, but they're just as stupid for starting all of this mess.

Only in WWE will they get their math wrong.

I think I've seen every episode of Fear Factor. It's okay. Joe Rogan's pretty good as host.

No, there's two. I'm the other one. However, I AM the only one to have never have seen Austin vs. Bret from SS1996, no doubt. 1996 was a bad year for tape distribution.

..I think that was a shoot. Warrior just has beef with Heenan because Heenan's always putting him down for good reason. Heenan saw first hand what a psychopath Warrior was when he was managing Andre during his matches with Warrior (in which Warrior tried to mess up Andre's back and neck even more). By all accounts, he isn't an asshole in general. I enjoyed Warrior calling Jim Ross "crazy and delusional".

All I saw tonight was that tremendous cleavage shot from the girl walking through the tunnel or whatever and that was good enough for me.

I don't watch Lost, but it's playing in the background. And if I hear "Make Your Own Kind of Music" again, I will fucking shit.

That's what I thought too until I navigated the "videos" section. It was weird.

I really have a sick desire to see Vader vs. Mike Thurman. I'd also really like to see the Canadian Stampede 5 on 5 but that's asking for too much.

The first post doesn't include Warrior addressing "Booby" Heenan, completely negating anything he has to say.

The Office was absolutely hilarious tonight. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long while. Best US episode ever. There are too many quotable lines. My Name is Earl was stellar in the first act, funny in the second and just okay in the third. Still a good episode and looks like a great series.

I'd go with that, but the Flag Match was very good as well.

I can't be the only one who loved the 30 minute videos. Between Bischoff's AWFUL renditions of the dialogue to Ric Flair in a neckbrace, I thought it was all hilarious and will be extremely fun when I play with friends. I can't wait to play.

175. Conan's interviews with Lindsay Lohan

*remembers it differently* I don't remember anybody outside Quebec complaining.

ABOBO, comment on the Warrior. Edit: ABOBO needs to come back. ..and why is he still on vacation?

Why would you do that? Why would you do that? Oh GOD I wish they'd bring back the guy who says "I'm spicy".

RIP Gadget. Hef is probably being consoled by his bunnies now.

Raw was excellent, JMA. Hope everyone likes the new match details. They should be done for every PPV from now on.

God, I'd be fine with that as long as they cement him as having a new direction other than "flounder".

Why weren't Joe and Lethal doing the double-teaming last night if Joe's going after the tag belts? Joe could have used this to show some tag offense or something.
