*wipes tear from eye* You know, all we Americans have ever wanted was for you Canadians to acknowledge that.

Those same black leaders are also shaking in their boots at the fact that the Latinos have overtaken blacks as the number one minority community in the U.S. Can't quite get away with the same shit they used to able to do!

I don't know if he does it anymore, since I haven't seen any of his recent work, but Magnum Tokyo used to do this swank STF variation that was almost a combination STF / Crossface. It looked absolutely brutal. I'd like to second the person who suggested CIMA's Iconoclasm. That'd be a perfectly fine finisher or setup for a cruiser to use. Absolutely. A lot of the old school moves would make fine finishers. The full nelson isn't such a bad finisher, really, except that in this day and age it needs something more to be impressive. If Masters were to start off with a full nelson, then transitioned it into an Uncle Slam, then the move would work better. The Cloverleaf would be a great finisher for someone to bring back; and a guy like Masters, who's being pushed on his physique, should have been given a power move like the Torture Rack. Or at least something like a Canadian Backbreaker. It would be more over than the People's Elbow, my friend.

Oh no, don't drag me into this, sister. And if I do not entertain you, fuck off. I'm not your dancing monkey.

Part of the animosity against Whedon is not necessarily directed against him, personally, but rather because he is merely a symptom (but the latest and greatest symptom) of the sickness currently infesting comics, something which I like to call "The Starfucker Syndrome". That's my term for the mentality that's been prevalent in the mainstream comic industry (at least since Marvel Knights began a few years back, and Kevin Smith wrote the initial story arc for the revamped Daredevil title) where the comic companies hire "celebrities" to write their titles. "Celebrity" could mean actual celebrities such as Kevin Smith, or Joss Whedon, or Joe Michael Straczynski, to "celebrities within the industry", which would be Bendis or Chris Claremont. Under the Starfucker Syndrome, the comic companies basically give these guys carte blanche to do whatever the fuck they want to with the titles, no matter how badly they may fuck things up or sloppily retcon the books. See Bendis' awful "Avengers Disassembled" (continued in New Avengers). See Claremont doing 19384 different things to fuck up the X-Men (including retconning all of Morrison's hard work), the latest of which is the X-23 debacle. See Whedon bringing Colossus back from the dead for no good reason (let's be honest - there hasn't been one revealed yet, other than Whedon brought him back because he could). See JMS and the silly "Gwen Stacy secretly had Norman Osbourne's love children!" storyline. Etc. The other part of the animosity is because Whedon marks treat the man as literally some sort of minor deity, which insanely annoying and a little disturbing. Hell, that's evidenced adequately enough by some of the Buffy / Angel threads in the Movie folder.

Such a gimmick needs two things to really make it work: Masters needs to wrestle in either a thong or a very tiny speedo, and Masters needs to learn how to do that odd little pelvic thrust dance that Alex Wright used to do back in the day in WCW. I swear to God, if he did the dance, the heat would be unbelievable. Thermonuclear reactors would give off less heat.

Exactly. Most of the submission finishers in the WWE are either no-sold or are countered FAR too easily. How many times has, oh, EVERYONE, escaped from the Anklelock? Add to that the fact that psychology in the WWE is spotty at best, or workers just don't plain have time to work up to a submission when most times they get all of 4 minutes to actually work a match.

That was both back when Canada gave a shit about the British commonwealth and weren't run by government officials who share a little too deeply the European policy of appeasement.

Not that I'm not glad this guy is caught, but I do find it a bit amusing to see the police in....where is this, Wisoncsin? Anyway, the police / chief of police of the city patting themselves on the back over catching this guy, when they would have NEVER caught him if a) the guy himself hadn't started correspondence again after years of inactivity and b) the guy's own daughter helping to turn him in. I don't know, it just seems to me that the authorities got VERY lucky with this one.

"Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville. And after that, "Eyes of the Dragon" by Stephen King.

Man, that Hardy messageboard is just SO prime for a Fandom Wank.

If she writes it, it might be the first time I ever agree with her on a subject.

Oh good! Nice to see their latest green-as-all-fuck hoss injured one of my guilty pleasures, Stevie Richads, to the point that he needs surgery. They just DON'T. Fucking. LEARN.

Yes, back to the issue at hand: I'm still waiting for one of you to provide me a list of her suspected sexual partners. C'mon, gossip-mongers, don't let me down.

Wasn't the "unidentified-but-not-well-endowed" wrestler one of the Haas brothers? If it was, and it was Charlie, than poor Jackie Gayda. She won't find any true satisfaction in THAT relationship.

I haven't heard anything by them before, but "The Widow" rules all.

He would also somehow go off on a tangent about how America doesn't give enough funding to combat AIDS, even though this is a Canadian case, and Canada is a perfectly industrialized nation capable of treating the virus.

Audition - 6/10 A pretty decent film. Dark, thought-provoking, but nowhere near as disturbing or fucked up as I was led to believe. Eihi Shiina is an absolute fox, and I actually found her at her hottest at the end of the film when she's decked out in her torture gear, but maybe that's just the latent submissive in me speaking. One wonders if, despite her beauty, she was able to get many date proposals after this film was released. Dawn of the Dead (2004) - 8/10 I absolutely love the remake, and though this is most certainly blasphemy to some of you, I think it works as a far better HORROR film than the original (which, IMO, works very well as a black comedy / social satire rather than as a true horror flick). Good performances, good suspense throughout the film. It was a bit depressing to watch the extra features, though, because the featurette of the news programs starred Richard Biggs as the news anchor. For those who aren't familiar with him, Biggs played Dr. Franklin on "Babylon 5", a show that many (including myself) consider one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time. Biggs died last May 2004 of a heart attack, and it was rough seeing him in this (especially considering this brief 20 minute feature was probably his last work). Even more depressing is that the featurette features a segment where Biggs, as the anchor, plays an audio message from the "President", and CiC is voiced by none other than Bruce Boxleitner - Biggs long-time costar on Bab 5. RIP, Dr. Franklin.

And what is the "information" that the "corporate media" is "covering up"? -=Mike Has nothing to do with "covering up information" I mean we can debate THAT issue at some other point, rather I am more referring to the 10 seconds an attack in Iraq is talked about compared to the headlining story of the Michael Jackson case, with fifteen or so legal experts discussing how his new haircut may or may not sway a jury.... Here is a news flash (pun intended) for you: even though there are a lot of people in America who dislike Bush, even they don't want to see half of their news program every night devoted to the latest Iraq attack, though it would be politically damaging to Bush for the networks to do so. People only have a stomach for a limited amount of that thing (both the violence and the propaganda). And sad to say, a good chunk of our society is enthralled with all things celebrity and / or perverse, and Jacko combines the two in spades. But I could turn your question around and ask why do the networks spend so little time focusing on the "good things" we're doing in Iraq, because though there have been obvious difficulties in rebuilding their infrastructure, there are plenty of happy stories to tell which none of us will ever broadcast on any news program.

Kane is married. So, it's a possibility, although certainly a strange one, considering she'd be hooking up with the man who, in the storyline, is her rapist. BTW, I've always heard that "Lita is a slut" and "Lita really gets around", but I've never really heard one specific rumor, because I'm not going to be reading her book and I haven't really gone and tried to find any gossip on her. But I'm gonna ask you all, since you all seem to know. Please, feel free to provide me, either in this thread or by PM, a list of who she's suspected of having fucked, cause all of this cryptic shit is annoying me.

Maybe so. Still tastes like a dog's ass. But hey, if you LIKE the taste of dog ass, more power to you.

Might as well just put a gun up to her head and pull the trigger, because that's a less painful death than starvation.

I'd also submit, Slapnuts, that RRR is far more partial to MMA, so perhaps his perspective on Melzter is a bit skewed.

Waittaminute, hold the phone - when was Chris "Yoshi Kwan" Champion convicted of child molestation? I've never heard of that before.

I must also concur, Crumb. Don't force your organic crap on me, hippies.
