Why is it that WWE are making all these blunders?
The Mandarin replied to The Mandarin's topic in The WWE Folder
I originally wanted this thread to be less "What is WWE doing wrong?" and more "Reasons not to have sex". I don't mind, though. Carry on. -
WCW facts, tidbits, and stuff people forgot
The Mandarin replied to JoeDirt's topic in General Wrestling
Ted Turner is a registered member of the NRA. The tip of the iceberg in the cancellation of WCW programming on Turner Television came when Charlton Heston told Turner he hated "that faggot shit". The Positively Kanyon storyline was thought up by Midajah. The Rock was originally contacted by WCW to become Rocky Melvin in summer of 1996. He was going to debut with the TV Title, regardless of the fact that Steven Regal was champion at the time. The deal was called off when Mr. Johnson found out he wouldn't be morally allowed to participate in sex orgies while off-tour. Vince McMahon was the one who agreed to these conditions. Lex Luger was furious but wouldn't go into details. Bam Bam Bigelow ate one of the children he saved from a fire. The Maestro was a hologram. -
Yet another notch against the US school system

We all know what they're ("they" being WWE creative and the McMahons) doing wrong. WHY are they doing it wrong? Obviously, none of us know them personally, but one could guess what's going on in their heads. So start making assumptions. If you'll recall, the rule of the outspoken- your assumption may be wrong, but keep persisting until it is seen as truth. Have at it. My assumption: I think the writing is bad because the wrong people are being hired. This is because the management can't see past the Hollywood credentials.

Look at those 'tards.

A bunch of people have been screaming like they were at a concert as people leave the courtroom and some moron has a jail-like "Peterson" shirt on. I think that's ridiculous.

So what's everybody's favorite/least favorite characters and songs? For characters, I'm loving Woozie, Lazlow and OG Loc. Songs, I'd go with "Personal Jesus" and "All My Exes Live in Texas". Least favorite would probably be Ryder and Catalina and I HATE that "Horse With No Name" song.

Yet another notch against the US school system
The Mandarin replied to Slayer's topic in General Chat
I don't even want to get into the difference between my elementary school playground when I was a child versus today (I drive by it everyday en route to my college, and it still gets me...) We could do lots of things, but playing Power Rangers was not one of them. This was 2nd grade, 1993-1994, back in Prospect Heights, Illinois. If you played Power Rangers, you were on the wall. You had to stand with you back against the side of the school for the duration of recess. The recess monitor was a real joker, always coming up with new ways to tell the kids to get on the wall. "Hey Peter! Get on the wall." "You like playing Power Rangers?" "Yeah?" "Do you like getting on the wall?" "Who's your favorite Power Ranger?" "The Red Ranger." "Mine is the one that has to get on the wall." "It's awfully hard to be in a robot when you're on the wall." It's weird though, because she was the librarian, and was nice to me and others outside of recess. I had that as well. Mine was a little more harsh though. "You're not a Transformer." "You're not a Transformer. Don't hit Tony." "Are you deaf? What did I ask you not to do?" I wasn't even trying to be a Transformer. I was just hitting Tony. -

I bought a Reservoir Dogs poster recently without noticing that said "Mr. Blond" on it. Blond is a variant of blonde, but it still pissed me off. -
Saving Private Ryan- I wouldn't know, because I missed it like a schmuck. It's Rememberance Day, of course it would be on. Hopefully I don't lose all my senses and forget to watch Christmas Vacation when CityTV does its yearly airing. EDIT: Caught the last hour, and from that, I can safely say Upham is a piece of shit. He pussied out when he could have saved two BRAVE men. He shot the German at the end, but that wasn't at the time it needed to be done. Great (INTENSE) ending battle from what I saw, though. God bless the vets.

Marissa and the yard guy?!

Must have gone through a lot of red tape to get here.

The Shining. It's Scatman, shining. Tom Sizemore and a related quote are in the avatar.

I looked back at the thread and laughed at pretty much everything Rando posted. Good work, boss. PS: Don't look at the bottom of page 12. Just don't.

They don't have Michaels/Sid on the Michaels Jukebox (probably because he lost), so why didn't they put it here?

I was never properly taught how to start, so my 40 yard is like 6.0 or something lousy. I'm good at long distance. Don't have any numbers though.

Thanks for the City Slicking help. I gave up on it and am now helping Woozie out.

Never seen the movie, but Michael Alig is a real dick. Watched a bunch of biographies on him.

WrestleMania X-8. When Hogan hulked up, I thought I was going to die when the Skydome gave way.

Might as well clarify that I have CS1 Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Andre the Giant and Undertaker, CS2- Ric Flair, Mankind and Sgt. Slaughter, and CS3 Ted DiBiase, Bret Hart and Jake Roberts. And Piper and Yoko from CS4.

I'm not thrilled with this game. Even with some faults, I still enjoyed HCTP because it was a big improvement over SYM. SVR isn't even updated. It's like the same thing, but more complex. I knew we were in for trouble when I played the awful Day of Reckoning, but this is insanely bad. I had no desire to play with the same glitches and ugly animations over again, because they could have been improved with the time they had to do it. Not an awful game, but frustrating because it could have been better. I won't purchase this one for the first time since Smackdown 2. I couldn't even create a passing Smaffles, which pissed me off most. I had to put a bag over his head. Back to the GTA thread.

HEAT SPECIAL EDITION?! Consider it pirated shoplifted sold.
