Saw this on the LoP site...don't know if its been posted yet: "For those wondering why Gene Snitsky's promos seem old school and "goofy," Stephanie McMahon had a huge influence on the style. Apparently, after his first promo came off really silly, Stephanie McMahon found it hilarious and WWE sources decided to run with Snitsky as a goofy speaker."

This is the weirdest thing ever. But I'll add mine later!

So is this pretty much a one match show?

Why or why not?

I heard a funny one the other night. I was watching some old RAW's from 1993, and there was a Tatanka/Nasty Boys vs. HBK/Beverly Brothers 6-man tag where Tatanka pinned HBK leading into Wrestlemania 9. Anyways, during the match one of the Nasty Boys pins one of the Beverlys. The other Beverly comes into the ring and kicks the Nasty in the head to break up the pinfall. Vince: "One...two..." He pauses. Vince: Well...that wasn't very nice. The way Vince says it is just classic. I miss Vince the douchebag announcer.

In 1989, IIRC, he had some really good matches with Lex Luger. He was fantastic in the ring for the most part as "Flyin' Brian". And who doesn't love the Hollywood Blondes? This may be stupid, but what was the actual cause of death for Pillman? Did he OD?

I have to admit I've never seen this show, so I'm interested to see what everyone has to say about it. This was a time in WCW where things were just about to go downhill (at least in the view of many) as you had Hogan feuding with Vader next and bringing in his friends (with guys like Duggan going over Austin, etc) and then feuding with the horrible Dungeon of Doom.

At least they're pushing somebody new and pushing him strong. So he may not be the best in the ring...he has to at least be better than Heidenreich, who is also getting a good push. Sure, it's frustrating that there are a zillion guys they could put in these positions and give the push to instead, but the thing with Smackdown right now is that it's not stale...it's fucking weird, yes, but to me it's just a better show than RAW right now. And at least they're TRYING to elevate some new talent. You gotta look at the positives, I guess...

I always liked the Pillman/Goldust feud, one of the first times Russo would use his "wife/girlfriend leaves her man because he loses a match and then ends up turning on him" storyline, though this didn't get that far. "Your little daugher, Dakota? She's mine! She's my love child! And it was so good!"

Post your favorite memories of the "Loose Cannon" in here as a memorial!

I actually have always liked the HBK/Tatanka WM9 match a lot, too. Haven't seen Tatanka/Flair, though. HBK/Sid from Survivor Series 1996 is a great example of what you're talking about, though.

Or Big Show, even. Angle could get his win back and then move on to feud with Taker.

CCC carries an apple with him to the ring?

Maybe you could argue Teddy is just playing mind games with Heyman. But yeah, that's dumb. Cool they're getting over the SSP as so deadly. Holly feuding with Bradshaw is gay.

Smackdown spoilers from Boston by John Orquiola Smackdown results from Fleetcenter in Boston, 10/5/04: Dark match: Shannon Moore pinned Akio with a somersault neckbreaker. Velocity: Luther Reigns defeated Matt Vega. Torrie Wilson, raiding Sable's old closet and wearing a black vinyl outfit, was Velocity's ring announcer. Rob Van Dam defeated Doug Basham with the Five Star Frog Splash. The Dudleys (with Spike) defeated Nunzio and Johnny Stamboli. Stamboli was pinned with the 3D. Smackdown: Hometown boy John Cena comes home with the US Title. His promo is interrupted by the debut of Carlito Caribbean Cool. Carlito challenges Cena for the title, DDT's him on the belt, and spits an apple in his face. Rey Mysterio (with Rob Van Dam) pins Kenzo Suzuki (with Rene Dupree) with a rollup. John Bradshaw Layfield is interviewed by Josh Matthews backstage. We learn that JBL faces Hardcore Holly next. Theodore R. Long comes out before the live crowd to announce that John Cena will defend the US Title against Carlito Caribbean Cool tonight. Hardcore Holly defeats JBL by countout. Orlando Jordan returns and distracts Holly, allowing JBL to crawl to the back and escape. JBL was still nursing the gash on his forehead from No Mercy and it opened up and started bleeding early in the match. Theodore R. Long confronts Paul Heyman backstage and informs him that though the paramedics used the jaws of life to open up the hearse Sunday night, the Undertaker was not inside. Heyman announces that Heidenreich will read a poem in the ring tonight. Kurt Angle, Mark Jindrak and Luther Reigns converse backstage. Angle plans to be in Jindrak's corner as he faces The Big Show next. The Big Show pinned Mark Jindrak with a chokeslam. Angle did commentary. Luther Reigns tried to get involved and was stopped by Eddie Guerrero. Eddie and Show cleaned house after the match. Josh Mathews interviews Carlito Caribbean Cool backstage. Carlito informs Mathews he isn't cool. Billy Kidman wrestled Charlie Haas (with Miss Jackie, soon to be Mrs. Haas.) Kidman was about to do the Shooting Star to Haas when Jackie entered the ring and covered Haas's body with her's. She tried to slap Kidman, who retaliated with a BK Bomb. Kidman mounted the top rope for the Shooting Star but decided not to do it. Kidman leaves while Rico and paramedics run in to help Jackie. Orlando Jordan, running errands for JBL, runs into Booker T backstage. Booker angrily rebukes Jordan's overtures of friendships and busts out his catchphrase "Now can you dig that... sucka!" A babyface turn seems imminent. Heidenreich (with Paul Heyman) tries to read a poem to the crowd. Tremendous heat for Heidenreich, who is unable to finish the poem despite three tries because of the crowd booing. Heidenreich jumps the railing and attacks a fan/indy wrestler plant at ringside. Theodore R. Long announces that next week from Manchester, England, Smackdown's main event will be JBL defending the WWE Title against Hardcore Holly in a hardcore match. In the main event, Carlito Caribbean Cool pinned John Cena to become the new United States Champion. Cena dominated the match. Carlito brought a chair into the ring, which Cena took. As the referee tried to get Cena to release the chair, Carlito took Cena's chain, rolled it up in his fist, and knocked him out with it. No after show events. Cena is helped to the back, selling the chain shot. The crowd is shocked their hometown boy lost the title to Carlito. If RAW is Jericho, then now Smackdown is Cool. Very good show to see live because of the main event and angle surrounding it. Cena was the most over the entire show. RVD was second in crowd reaction. Heidenreich got the most heel heat of anyone. Kidman was second for not doing the shooting star, which was odd since choosing not to use his finish on a woman got him more heat. Undertaker chant broke out after the Heidenreich segment, but he was a no-show.

I actually liked the WM12 six man tag. Anyways, Steve Austin: (top 2 are close) 1. vs. Bret Hart (WM13) 2. vs. The Rock (WM17) 3. vs. Shawn Michaels (WM14) 4. vs. The Rock (WM 15) 5. vs. The Rock (WM 19) 6. vs. Scott Hall (WM 18) 7. vs. Savio Vega (WM 12) Next up... Roddy Piper

I think it's safe to say Cheney is at his best when he's on the offensive... Wow.

Hey! He has a southern accent and a smile!

Quick! To factcheck.com!

Also, let's be honest that foreign policy is not Edwards' strength...when they get to domestic issues he'll do a lot better...at least I hope.

Edwards really has no excuse for getting owned this bad. Cheney is on, yes, but Edwards isn't doing to well, IMO.
