Brett Favre

Mike and Chris were pricks to Minaya. How has Chris not gotten jumped yet?

What the hell is wrestling?

They're the world champs.

You do know that Houston acquired Tracy McGrady? Yes and I'm excited about that. I'm hoping that the Yao/McGrady one-two punch will do something but I'm not expecting it to win a championship this season. Probably not, but the team has major upside. Don't underrated Juwan Howard either.

While being the most over guy on the show and putting on some of the best matches? Chris Jericho can make a case. Eddie, sorta, too.

He's racking up hall of fame numbers and has 4 rings. But we'll wait until his career is over. Considering this is A-Rod's first year at third, that's nothing to brag about. Although A-Rod did have a great year.

A bit surprised Jeter has won one (he's not bad at all either though, just surprised), but i'll take it.

The Knicks should be good if Tim Thomas gets his head out of his ass, although Ariza has looked great in preseason. We really need one more big man, someone like Shareef, to make a run at the conference finals atleast, this season. I look forward to seeing Ariza, Sweetney and Ariza develop this year though.

Remember when The Rock stuck his face into that large woman's ass? Good Times.

That's something the WWE should know how to do by now. Each guy that you want to push to the top should face midcarders (Booker T, JBL, Rey, Flair, Christian)first, and eventually take their spot when they the midcarders are done, or they are ready. Each step to stardom shouldn't start by beating the HHH's and Angle. If the WWE can't do that right, well, they probably can't. The WWE's problem is that HHH, UT, et al won't put people over. Actually, Hunter is INFINITELY more willing to put people over than UT. The brand split doubles the chances of finding a break-out star. Without the brand split, WWE would become WCW. A really big, talented mid-card with NO real chance of advancement. Too many of the WWE top draws have become absolutely impossible to deal with. -=Mike The thing is though, neither company tried pushing stars with a high talent of midcarders. For example, Young Star A takes on will never be a main eventer Rob Van Dam, or something like that. He can feud with those types of wrestlers before making the next step to the Benoits and Jerichos. Then to the HBKs and Angles. Then to the Takers and HHHs. Slowly while this happens, Young Star A takes RVD's spot, who retires, then Benoit's spot, then HBK's spot. Eventually becoming a main eventer. Instead of what we're getting today which is fighting the Mavens, then fighting the Takers. It's not believable.

Those guys would have to be the midcarders. Seeing people beat up jobbers isn't what it once was. No one cares if you beat Funaki anymore. Not saying that all the stars have to job, but select a few who will do more jobs than others. If the bigger stars are beating the somewhat solid stars, it will make it more believable. That kind of thinking is what made Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho look like B-show stars. But you can always shuffle them around. A company this big should know that some people like Jericho and Benoit shouldn't job more than people like JBL. It obviously isn't working now with the Mavens. A show will more stars would probably draw more, of course, if you have those guys you want to push for the future, at the bottom. Waiting for their turn.

Exactly. Even if we see people like Booker T jobbing or what not, it's still something people will watch because he is someone you know. No one gives a fuck about Maven.

Kill Triple H?

They would have more to work with though. Everyone should get on the show. It's the reason RAW's barely doing shit today. No one gets on the show, except for like the same 10 people each week.

If you like boring generic promos, then yeah sure. Booker T gets, you know, the crowd to react to him. Booker T has a better finisher, better trademark moves, and can adapt to his opponents style fairly well. Edge's finisher is weak, has a flat out mundane WWE style offense, and can only be carried to good matches by Angle and Eddie. Well, I guess this is acquired taste. Huh? This is the same company that is still trying to get HHH over! Ah yes. After all, hair is what makes a wrestler.

Okay, who's the jackass who thought San Francisco would be a winner this year?

The Booker T/Kurt Angle matches of 2001 are very underrated.

Benoit doesn't even get attention on these boards anymore.

Don't post anymore if the Pats comeback and win.

See, living in the Northeast isn't overrated.

Ahh. Nice try.

He's probably going to retire at the end of 2005, when his contract is up. But I really hope the reason the Yanks go over 200 million dollars in payroll, isn't because of Ken Griffey Jr.
