    Favorite 80s WWF Skits

    The Piledriver music video of Slick. The Islanders stealing Matilda. The Rougeaus debuting their American flags after telling Craig DeGeorge about their "Fabulous time in the states" The picture of Harley Race that would show up when His injury was mentioned in 88. The heel Managers on TNT trying to convince Randy Savage to join them.

    New Trivia on moveset

    I'd guess that Tatanka did the first Samoan drop at a Wrestlemania.

    English Football

    Without Gravesen,Martyn and Bent they'd be there. My Spurs 8th prediction looks pretty good now while back in june with Keller,Taricco,Redknapp,Postiga,Doherty and Richards it looked insane. Edit: The Euro 2004 Thread is a good read, watching the mood of us English change with the results against Japan,Iceland,France and the Portugal game.

    2 out of 3 isn't a bad prediction. If you look through the Euro 2004 thread, I predicted Petr Cech would do well in Euro 2004 which makes up for my premiership and Bristol City mistakes.

    Lee Miller looked great last night for Hearts, Probably because they actually put decent crosses in the box instead of treating him like a target man, At least when the deal's made permanent we'll get the money we paid for him and hopefully a sell on clause.

    Football Manager 2005

    I took Shakhtar Donetsk to the Final in Cm 01/02, with Aghahowa and some good Ukranians there all I needed was to sign Robben(who's arranged transfer to PSV fell through because of injury)Kallstrom,Bakircioglu,Amankwaah,Cech and Farnerud for the combined total of 5.8 million. Edit: I lost 4 times to Dinamo Kiev that season, twice in the league(which I won), once in the cup and in the 1st leg of the Champions League Semi. The best achievment was when I got Rushden to the Prem in 01/02 in a 2 player game on a mates X-Box(easiest version by far) with Darren Huckerby, Scott Murray, Juris Laizans(brilliant DMC),Karl Corneliusson, Alexander Farnerud, Michael Barron and Stuart Taylor my only signings that I paid a fee for, I also got this Brazilian hothead Striker on a free who turned out to be Romario's regen.

    Football Manager 2005

    I used to like the CM games when you'd get clubs like Marseille,Brondby,Panathinaikos and Dinamo Kiev in the Champions League Semis.

    Football Manager 2005

    The Swedish players were always given good stats in the CM games, it helps a lot if your midtable in the Premiership because you can sign someone like Kennedy Bakircioglu for 250k and at the end of the season he's worth about 6-8 million.

    Football Manager 2005

    How did FM 2005 do when it came to recreating your team? With us they give Lita awful stats, Hill as usual always gets high potential in these CM/Fm games, Amankwaah gets his stats dropped from the CM Series, Phillips is realistic and Anyinsah is great on this for us. Has anyone tried managing in Spain? I'm trying to turn Villarreal into Champions after watching there nice neat football on Sky a few weeks ago, I've bought Cherno Samba as a bit of laugh from Cadiz(buy De La Cuesta if you can afford him) to see if he was as crap as his stats and he is decent and is doing well in the reserves Can anyone think of any Players that have been stars on CM before they became well known? Cech,Frey,Kaka,Etherington and Simon Davies(on Cm 3 I always got those 2 from Peterborough for my wingers)Coloccini,Ronaldinho,Kallstrom,Adriano,Mutu,Isaksson,Chivu,D'Alessandro,Robben,Saviola and Riquelme are some of the players that I've bought on CM before discovering that they were actually good in real life. Edit: Did any of you ever sign Kevin Amankwaah? he's far better on CM(especially 00/01) than in Real life, he's got into the England right back spot easily.

    The Old School questions thread

    During a Legion of Doom/Orient Express match on Superstars(a few weeks before Survivor Series 90) they ran in while the LOD were in control causing a dq, afterwards there was a 5 on 2 attack.

    We love Robins, he had a great loan spell with us a few years ago and we all wanted him to sign a long term deal. Edit: your 2-0 down, looks bad.

    0-1 against Wallsall, at least the season will be over in April for us with the last 5 games being meaningless.

    Best Wrestling Quotes...

    One of my favourites from SNME. Mean Gene on the Hart Foundation: "If there are sicker men in this sport I love I don't know who they may be" From Wrestling Challenge before WM 4 Bobby Heenan On his relationship with Vanna White: "We were walking down the street, arm-in-arm, when an old lady came up to us and said 'Who is that stunner on your arm?' I was just about to reply, when Vanna jumped in and said 'This is the Brain, Bobby Heenan."

    Shows you've been to.

    I was at Summerslam 92, One Night Only and a WCW house show in November 2000. The WCW house show in Birmingham was decent, When Major Gunns came out with Elix Skipper we were confused because the heel turn had been taped on the Friday(The show with the London Lethal Lottery) and we wouldn't that Nitro on tv for a few days, we also saw one of Sting's last matches in WCW(he had the show in Germany and the last Nitro) Don't know the times but the results were The Cat beat Mike Sanders Elix Skipper beat Kwee Wee Mike Awesome/Norman Smiley beat Alex Wright/Disco Inferno General Rection beat Lance Storm by dq(Rection did a piledriver on Gunns after the match) Jindrak/O'Haire beat Kidman/Mysterio Sting/Kevin Nash beat Kronik Goldberg beat Bam Bam Bigelow Booker T beat Scott Steiner

    "Just Accept It, We're Number One Now"

    Vicious and Delicious was a good use of Norton, shame they were the nWo's 3rd team behind the Outsiders and Muta/Chono. Edit: Didn't NJPW pay WCW for the use of the nWo name? That probably paid for Norton's big money contract.

    I'll point out that in 2005 the only Goalscorer in the England Senior and U21 team's is Leroy Lita who plays for some shitty little League 1 side.

    Eriksson could learn from Van Basten in giving new players a ful 90 minutes in the right posistion. Eriksson obviously wanted to include all his favourites and Downing,Wright-Phillips and Johnson. Edit: His interview on BBC is a load of bollocks, not one truth in the whole thing.

    Whose side were you on...

    I was rooting for Hogan. I was convinced Warrior was going to turn on Hogan at that time, even at 8 years old I could see a pattern emerging with Hogan's "friends" turning on him. Edit: Looking back Warrior actually came off pretty heelish with his promos and actions before Mania.

    English Football

    Watching the match you couldn't tell which England player was in the 3rd league, Lita looked a lot better than Stead and Ashton. Edit: Tonight was the 1st time i've watched an England U21 in years, the Taylor team with Wright,Bowyer,Joe Cole,Lampard,Upson and Dyer was great until Wilko and Platt came along.

    Best Double team Combos

    The best version was the way the Rougeaus did it at Summerslam 88 with Raymond jumping over the top rope and doing a cocky little strut before the kick.

    Best Double team Combos

    The Powers of Pain had a finish which was simple but looked great(especially at Summerslam 88) with a Warlord powerslam followed by a Barbarian Diving Headbutt. The Steiners had a couple but the top rope DDT looked the best. I liked the move the Hart Foundation used to do where Neidhart would powerslam Bret onto their opponent. I loved the Faces of Fear's Backdrop into a powerbomb.

    Lita just got a late call up to the England U21 squad, probably because he scored against Peter Taylor's club team on Saturday.

    Orndorff,Savage,Studd,Bundy,Bossman,Piper,Andre and Dibiase weren't anti american.
