    Britney Spears As The Next Bond Girl?

    Actualy, Tarentino wants to buy the rights to Casino Royale and make an unofficial Bond like Never Say Never Again was. Apparently Fleming sold the rights to Casino Royale back in the 50s. The last thing I heard was CBS owns the rights. As far as the actual movie, Tarentino said that he wants it to take place right after Tracy is killed.

    Britney Spears As The Next Bond Girl?

    But the injury sticks with him throughout the entire movie. The boat scene did run a little long but it is something they have to do in these movies. But he does not really fall in love with her. He just has sex with her which is what Bond almost always try to do with a beautiful woman. I guess that is up to the viewer, but I think it one of the better Bond films, definetly Brosnans best. I think it has more to do the modern times. I would love for them to make another movie like FRWL or OHMSS. But unfortunetly only me and another couple of people would go see it. I know that TWINE is probably the best they can do today. I realized that when I watched DAD. I loved the first half of the movie, I thought it could become one of the best. Then it got to the ice palace and it was all down hill from there. Lets be honest, a movie done in the style of TWINE is the best we can hope for. But with talk of Britney Spears and the way DAD turned out, Bond 21 is not looking to good. Hopefully, rumors are true that Quentin Tarentino is going to make Casino Royale.

    Britney Spears As The Next Bond Girl?

    Now I will give You Die Another Day, that movie is one of the worst Bond films. But The World is Not Enough is a very good movie. It is Pierce Brosnans best Bond film. TWINE is the best example of what a modern day Bond film should be. It had a very good story for hardcore Bond fans and fine acting by Brosnan and Marceau. It also had the big explosions for the mindless action fans. But fourtunatly, the action scenes made sense and moved the story along. Oh yeah, Britny Spears is a horrible pick for a Bond Girl. The last thing we need is another film like DAD.

    So What Did You Think Of The Contract Singing?

    You mean like providing high spots in the match? Giving the crowd something to cheer for? Keeping them even further enthralled in the match? I would say he's more like "trying to make the match better" rather than "stealing the show against Benoit." Besides, I doubt the fans would chant "Benoit sucks" just because Shawn Michaels pulled out a nice-looking move. Not everything is a conspiracy. Would it be okay for Benoit to pull out a super-duper twisting flying headbutt off the top rope in the Triple Threat match? Because if so, then Michaels can't be at fault for trying to impress the fans either. If not, then you're limiting the crowd response and participation the match can get - which shouldn't be the case in a title match at the Biggest Show of all Time. Everybody is forgetting why Benoit is loved by the IWC. It is because of his wrestling. That is the reason so many people are passionate about Benoit. It is not because it is the cool thing to say on the internet. I can guarantee you that Michaels will not "steal the show" in a match that involves Benoit.

    News from 1wrestling.com

    Shawn has never been able to draw in the past so why would he be able to now. You can not say Chris Benoit will not be able to draw because he has never been given the chance. You can not write someone off before they even get there shot.

    WWE Hall Of Fame

    From The Wrestling Observer: Confirmed so far for the WWE Hall Of Fame are Jesse Ventura and Superstar Billy Grahm. Both will be inducted on 3/13, and introduced in Madison Square Garden the next day at Mania. The only other name that we know of that has been officialy contacted, and don't know where that stands, is Dusty Rhodes. Vince called Bret up about doing Mania. He hadn't suggested a specific role, and it may be the Hall of Fame as well. Hart was leaning against doing Mania this year, as he noted a few times in recent months. It was the feeling that he may get chocked up under the pressure of giving a speech in Madison Square Garden. He's had an understanding in the past with Vince that that he may come back one time only for a farwell speech and actualy wanted it at MSG. The other role I could see him offering him, would either be a ref in the match, or second in the match with Benoit vs HHH vs Michaels, because it plays well into the storylines, but I don't think he wants to come back to work a storyline anglr, even though he is tight with Benoit.

    Smackdown rating

    According to Meltzer, that has been changed. Rey will now have Jorge Paez in his corner for his match against Chavo. And to quote Meltzer "As if anybody cares" They should have gone with Julio Cesar Chavez. He really was a boxing legand and is still remembered in the hispanic community. Hell, they could have even gone with Oscar De La Hoya and they might have even gotten mainstream attention.

    Nitros/Thunders

    That original website I referred you to just changed their address. Here is the new one http://bbrownvideo.com/
  9. It is hard to believe that just one year ago Eddie and Benoit were both in a 3 way tag match at Wrestlemania. Now 1 year later they are going to be involved in both World title matches against the same champions from last year (assuming Eddie does beat Brock which is pretty much a lock, hopefully).
  10. No matter how bad some people think the show was I am just glad that Eddie is finaly getting the praise and recognition he deserves. I suggest everyone buy No Way Out to show Vince that Eddie will be a good drawing champion.
  11. From WWE.com Statement #1: Latino Superstars deserve more credit for the ratings success of SmackDown!. Eddie Guerrero: I can't answer that. Rey Mysterio: True. We've got a lot of big Hispanic communities out there. It's a big market, and they're waiting to see their people succeed, whether it's soccer, football or even wrestling now. They want to see us be on top. They want somebody to follow. Statement #2: Spanish-speaking competitors need to learn English to flourish in the U.S. Eddie: True. As proud as I am of my Latino heritage and of being Mexican, I live in America and I'm an American citizen, so I gotta speak the language. Rey: True. Dominating more than one language is good, and it's much better than only speaking your own language. For Hispanics, being able to speak English is an advantage, whether it's in wrestling or any other particular kind of job. Statement #3: Eddie Guerrero will win the WWE Championship in 2004. Eddie: Anything is possible. I believe that I am ready at this point in my life. All I can do is take it one day at a time, and step by step. I mean, you never know man. Rey: True. He has a lot of potential and he's a Superstar caliber wrestler in my heart and my mind. Statement #4: Chicago crowds are the liveliest. Eddie: Can't say if that's true or not, but they're awesome. There's a lot of lively crowds, and Chicago is definitely one of them. Rey: I'm not gonna say true and I'm not gonna say false. Chicago is one of the best crowds we have, but we have many, many of those. Statement #5: The ability to speak on the microphone is more important than being a good wrestler. Eddie: That's a good question. Nowadays I think it's a combination. You need to be able to produce one way or another in the ring. Also, the fans are much more demanding than ever before, so once all the talking is over, you need to produce in the ring. Rey: False, but at the same time it's 50/50. If you know how to wrestle and you know how to speak, you're in for a good game.

    UFC 46: Super Natural

    Wow, that was a huge let down. I am glad Vitor won but it leaves an empty feeling. Hopefully they can get a rematch put together really quickly.
  13. Here is the actual excerpt from the Observer: The Raw title match was originally planned as a straight single with HHH vs Benoit. It was HHH who made the suggestion to change it to a threeway (which explains the finish of the Rumble match), and there has been talk, but we have no idea if this will happen, of making it a ladder match.
  14. I got my observer today too but it does not say anything about Undertaker/kane going on last. Everything else is right.
  15. So just because he does not get an Austin size pop he should not be a main eventer. That is just wrong to think that way. How long did it take Triple H to get over. It took many months and having to beat Foley 3 times in a row. Many people are saying he does not have it and he will not draw. You do not know that. He has never been given a chance. Many people critisize the smarks for not giving Randy Orton a chance yet Anti Smarks will not give Benoit a chance. Benoit was given the chance in 2000 and 2001. He got big pops in Canada and NOWHERE else. He was given a major position in WCW in '99 and 2000 - and again, he didn't cut it. Unfortunately, one who is getting pushed, has to get major pops unless they are an elaborate work in progress like Lesnar, Triple H, and Orton. But at 36 or 37, Benoit isn't a work in progress. This is his last chance, and its not looking good. RVD would be a much more "logical" choice for a major push at this stage in the game. He gets "mad pops" whenever he's out there. Benoit? Bah. Wrestling isn't a problem for him, people pop for that. But everything else is a total bust...and whether anyone wants to believe it or not, champions need charisma outside of wrestling. They need to connect with the fans. Even old school champions from 30-40 years ago needed to do this. Even as a heel, no one gives Benoit a reaction because they don't have any incentive. He creates a feeling of ambivilence or indifference. He's just "there". In WCW He main evented 1 PPV with Sid. In WWE 2000 Benoit, Jericho, and Angle all lost to the old guard HHH, Undertaker, and Rock. In 2001 he was out for a year. They bothched his return and has been stuck in the mid card ever since. Even after bad treatment from the WWE Benoit still gets high ratings for a mid carder. His numbers are very close to main eventers. Give this push some time and he will start to be looked at as a main eventer. Marks for the most part will cheer for however you want them to, you just have to book them person properly. I am confident that Benoit will get a huge pop fronm the New York audience at Wrestlemania.

    Conservative High schooler stirs up trouble

    I do not think most people look at both sides of the story when talking about illegal immigration. I live in South San Diego. Growing up I lived just a few miles from the US/Mexico border. I know how things are on the other side of the border so I know why they come here. As a latino I can see where some could take anti illegal immigration as racism. Sometimes people make it sound as if they do not want them here because they are inferior and of course, if you do not speak english you must not be educated. Look at the economics of illegal immigration in a different way. I will give you an example, most vegetables in the grocery store are cheap. They are cheap because most companys pay illegals less than minimum wage. Now lets say we get rid of all the illegals and hire Legal residents/citizens to do the work in the fields. Right off the bat you have to pay them at least minimum wage. But I know for a fact that legal residents/citizens are not going to work in the fields for minimum wage. So now the price of vegetables goes up because labor is no longer cheap. But wait, not only do you have to pay these worker above minimum wage, you also have to give them health insurance. Now after all that do you think vegetables will still be so cheap, and if there is one thing I know about Americans is that they will bitch about a few cents extra for gasoline. Do you think Americans will still be so against illegal immigration if the prices on the things they take for granted go up?

    Huge Update On Chris Benoit's WWE Future

    True, but WWE makes a point to never mention that he was the WCW champion right before he went to the WWE. In all the time he's been there, they've never mentioned that he's had the title once. Which leads me to think that they want to push him like they did Jericho, as the best wrestler to not win the big one. To be fair they did mention his title win when he first went to the WWE. It was actualy HHH who said it. He went to Benoit and said "The last time I saw you on TV you had a Big shiny gold belt with you." He then holds up the WWE title and says "But this is the WWE and this is the true measuring stick."

    Tentative WM XX matches

    Those Degeneration X fellas sold quite a few T-shirts back in the day. -Patrick That can be explained. The first Version of DX came about in 1997. From November 97 to March 98 they were the focus of the shows and main events. They even had a PPV named after them. These PPVs and TV shows still did bad ratings and T shirts sales did not exactly set the world on fire. It was not until Austin took his place in the main event did rating grow and PPV buys increase. This increase was do to the amount of brand new fans comming in to watch the product. Many of them were teenagers who did not know anything about wrestling. But they did know Raw had a lot of foul launguage, beer, sex, and middle fingers. In turn the DX guys became popular because they acted like immature teenagers. As the years went on many of these teens and bandwagon attitude fans left because wrestling became "uncool." The ones who stayed are the ones on wrestling forums who say the WWE should bring back DX or have a DX vs NWO feud.

    411: Meltzer confirms Benoit/Raw rumor

    The WWE wants us to believe that the World title on Raw is the same world title that George Hackenschmidt won in 1904. Of course we all know it is not. The only promotion that has a legitimate claim to the original world title is the NWA. But since the Big Gold Belt was used by the NWA in the 80s and then WCW in the 90s, the WWE thinks no one will notice lineage difference if they use the big gold belt.

    007 Music

    I thought we were talking about the the songs that plays in the opening credits. In From Russia With love there is a song that plays in the opening credits (after the pre title sequence) that is an intrumental that is still used today. The song you are talking about plays at the end of the movie.

    I like the old instrumental theme songs better, so I will have to go with From Russia With Love and On Her Majestys Secret Service. If I had to pick a theme song with words then I will go with Live and Let Die.
