The Mandarin

Rudo, I love you for your comments about indy wrestlers needing more basics. I remember your long post about the UWA show, and that's precisely what was missing there (other than more diverse booking).

66. http://www.conanvsbear.com/

The big news is that at Taboo Tuesday, fans are going to vote on whether or not there will be a Taboo Tuesday in 2006 based on the buyrate.

63. Eisenhower mug. 64. Recently during a spot with a lot of laughs Conan picked up a pencil, wiggled it, put it down and told everybody to settle down. It was one of the strangest moments in the history of Late Night.

Hey, eighth place! All right!

So the scumbag emigrates.

26. Frankenstein didn't know who Tom Hanks was

Yeah, shit like "Mmm..baking soda?" and stuff. ..I swear he said "baking soda" once. 8. The Fed-Ex Pope 9. Recliner of Rage is so, so bad it's funny.

Forget the finish, Angle/Cena did not deliver in any way before the finish to make it a main event quality match. I wanted near-falls and drama, damnit.

I'm not sure if this forum allows "gimmick posts" like these, but this has purpose, dammit. I can think of 1000 reasons why Late Night is better than the Daily Show and I'm sure you could too. 1) La Bamba shakes his head in a humorous manner that the Daily Show can't match 2) because Max Weinberg > Steven Colbert 3) The "It's Him!" Walker, Texas Ranger clip 4) Conan sings about going to Hell once in a while There are more reasons, please list them.

This thread needs to be moved to "Other Promotions" as of now.

Oh yeah, that was so bad I turned it off before DDP-Jarrett. Absolutely a tragic show.

Cena-Angle Not very good, sadly. Cena didn't make the great babyface comeback in the way he needed to. Everything before the ref bump was stale, everything after the ref bump was just awful. It was the Batista/JBL finish, but even worse. I absolutely no desire to see their rematch. Worst Angle-Cena match ever. **1/4-**1/2 Hardy-Edge Very good. Too bad it was after a terrible feud with two (or three) completely dislikeable people. Matt Hardy's big comeback was great. I loved him wailing on Edge. ***3/4, best Hardy (either one) singles match ever. Michaels-Masters Pretty bad. Masters looked good, but Michaels' comeback was among the most poorly done of his in a year or so. We've all seen that finish before. ** Carlito-Flair Half decent for what it was. I liked Flair finally coming off the top, that was pretty funny. However, the finish caught me off guard. Flair in no way deserves the Intercontinental Belt (based on his work right now), but if it ends that goddamned fool's reign I'm fine with it. *3/4, one of Carlito's best matches ever. Tag Titles This was actually alright. The MurderdeathkillDDT was hideous. However, that lariat made Homicide go "woah". Very nasty. Hurricane looked like a hero. Too bad that will go nowhere. *3/4-** Big Show-Snitsky This was actually pretty good. I liked Big Show selling the arm/Snitsky working on it. One of the trips Snitksy did on Show into the corner arm first was very nicely done. **, I really enjoyed it even though Show was blown up by the time he high-fived ZZ Top. Women Abysmal when Ashley was in the ring, ALTHOUGH she got murdered on some of the stuff (including that dangerous knee brace shot to the face). 90% Trish's offense was very solid. Welcome back, Trish. *1/4 Decent show, not good enough going into Taboo Tuesday (the worst PPV of 2004) to make me want to buy it. The best part of this show as knowing I would get free DVDs in purchasing it.

Wow, the Daily Show beat out Conan again. What a shocker.

The hilarity of Jim Ross fighting Dean Malenko was too much to pass up.

I can't fucking win a match on that game to save my life, let alone win by knockout. I had Tazz in WWF Title Story Mode and just got decimated by Shane McMahon and Mideon three times straight.

I bought it used from Microplay recently and was suprised to see a lot of indy and Japanese wrestlers put in as CAWs. Low Ki, M-Dogg 20, Kenta Kobashi, American Dragon. It was pretty nifty. First game I played in four years, I got OWNED by Dean Malenko playing as Jim Ross.

Hey now.

That's fine with me, because Lita needs as much makeup as she can get.

Didn't Heenan tell that story on WOL? It's great.

Not all that much detail to X-Pac's return, but you get the idea. One of the segments on the show is the last hurrah for Bret Hart, probably the top Rewriting History character ever. I'm pretty sure these might be the longest results ever. Enjoy.

Was Trish Stratus pleasuring him while he viewed the match? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't see him here.

*spoiler removed* Mark it, next time.

Oh, that Snitsky. And so wait, Paul Bearer killed a bunch of Mexicans? That makes absolutely no sense.

I really want to see a Flair/HHH two-out-of-three falls match because I'm so blindly in love with Flair, I don't even notice that he sucks in the ring. Bring it the hell on.
