check that 4 on 4

Power play coming up. We've had a bunch of good oppurtunities now we need to capitalize.

Last week Hulk cut a promo trying to rally the Lightning fans, and I hate Paul Porter (the Lightning's PA announcer)

Never underestimate Rick Dudley, he'll probably trade him for some Euro no one has heard of.

And what has been the trend throughout his career.. whenever he gets wacked once or twice he wilts. Fair point and let me tell you something that you'll find out during this series none of the Lightning shy away from that play, you will be surprised how physical the Lightning can be. Isn't Sundstrom and Quintal hurt right now? Begin, Juneau, Bulis are stick artists and slashers not a fearsome checking unit. Once Dingman and Roy hit them a few times they're through. And Calling Rivet and Bouillion "good checkers" is pushing it they're mediocre 4 and 5 D-men at best. Look I admitted when I first posted that we would have a hard time against Ottawa and I think we would have trouble against Toronto because of their playoff savvy and obviously Belfour. The only person I truly fear on the Canadiens is Theodore and unless we get a rash of injuries I don't see Montreal giving us that much trouble. And spare me with the Tampa has no playoff history line, what have you done other than beat the Bruins in recent years (post 1993).

Every Hab player.... Every Hab player? Dont try and tell me that Alexi Kovalev is a physical force (although he did score big goals and damn near cost you guys the series... oops did I say something) As nl5 noted I'll add Souray to the list of guys that can take the body but other than that you're just a bunch of divers and slashers.

Do you honestly feel Rivet, Bouillon, Komisarek, and Markov scare me and name me one guy on the Canadiens other than Darren Langdon in terms of physical play that I should be afraid of. (no diving doesnt count) At least the Isles had people like Mike Peca, Steve Webb and Adrian Aucoin that were physical I cant think of anyone from the Canadiens that plays that hard hitting style (other than the afore mentioned Langdon). Don't expect Modin, Lecavailer, The Mighty Midget, or anyone else from the Bolts to be ducking and running.

Our defense is very underrated and not as weak as you think. Our top 6 of Sydor, Kubina, Boyle, Lukowich, Cory Sarich, and Nolan Pratt (Jassen Cullimore has a bad wrist and is likely out for the series) is very solid and showed in the Isles series that they can close games. They will sometimes give up 2 on 1s because the Lightning have the most agressive forechecking scheme in the NHL. (sometimes its a 1-4 forecheck if both D-man are pinching) Also, Modin and Lecavailer (even though he didn't score) were checking everything that moved so while the Lightning aren't overtly physical they do not back down from that sort of play. On top of that, Tortorella has played both Chris Dingman and Andre Roy in the postseason. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of respect for what the Canadiens have done this season and against Boston but I think you guys are overmatched here. My prediction is Bolts in 5 although Theodore could make it go 6.

Midget power rules all, just remember that. In all seriousness I'm hoping Boston gags or Toronto wins cause I'll openly admit that we cannot beat the Ottawa Senators. Our Kamikaze offensive system doesn't work against them even when we're competitive. (see wild 5-4 OT loss in March)

I can't believe no one has brought up the Baby Hitler scene (partially stolen from Seinfeld but taken to the next level) That has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen and the movie as a whole rocks.

Personally, that show is my favorite RAW of all time. At first I thought (probably like most people) it was a re-hash of the Brian Pillman angle but the payoff was piss-your pants funny (pun intended).

An update on this site: There are pop-ups now (albeit not as many as 1wrestling) and the server is slow. That being said I will continue to read the site since Scherer is my favorite source for news and my friend has an Elite Account.

Cool deal, man. I was sitting in one of the suites due to a connection that I have unfortunately the show itself did suck for the most part.

Where were you sitting RatsMilk?

Great job Humanoid, what you added in made sense and you kept the good stuff as is.

I was there live and that is not an error RVD did say it.

Hey guys I've lurked around the board for some time and I was intrigued by the fantasy booking so I'd thought I'd give it a shot. I'm gonna start from November 1992 after the Survivor Series (note: I am treating WCW as virtually non-existent) Important Storyline developments: Mr. Perfect has turned face and teamed with Randy Savage against Flair and Razor for Survivor Series. In December Heenan has vowed to recruit somebody to seek revenge on Mr. Perfect prompting speculation that Heenan would return full-time to managing. He announces on the first RAW in January that he won't but that he has brought in two men who will make their first appearance at the 1993 Royal Rumble. The Nasty Boys were screwed out of a shot to regain the Tag Team Titles by Jimmy Hart and have turned face. Also Natural Disasters have heat with the Headshrinkers for interfering in their match and costing them the Tag Titles Mart Jannetty comes back to seek revenge on Shawn Michaels for the Feb. Barber Shop incedent. Champs: WWF Champion- Bret Hart IC Champion- Shawn Michaels Tag Champs Money Inc.

Dangerously Luger proceeds to squash Duggan in about 2 minutes and Dangerously cuts a promo warning Mr. Perfect in the future 5. Royal Rumble winner: Macho Man Randy Savage - Nasties and Money Inc eliminate each other and fight all the way to the backstage area, Perfect is eliminated by Ric Flair who is standing outside the ring after Perfect eliminates him late in the Rumble. Luger and Heyman watch and enjoy from the entrance ramp. Savage eliminates Yokozuna when he is clotheslined over the top rope.

Storyline Developments Oct.-Nov. 1993 A week after The Four Horsemen re-unite on RAW Arn and Barry Windham are cutting a promo with Mean Gene when suddenly the tag champs Hollywood Blondes show up to kiss the Horsemen's ass, later that night when Arn and Barry beat The Heavenly Bodies, the Hollywood Blondes show to supposedly congartulate them then Steve Austin pulls a sneak attack on them and hits them with the belts after they are beaten out comes Paul E. ton congratulate them and they officially join Paul E.'s dangerous alliance. The next week on Superstars Bret Hart is scheduled to have a title defense against Yokozuna to open the show but he is brutually attacked by The Dangerous Alliance and is Powerbombed and splahed on the floor by Vader. Hart does a strecher job. The main event at Survivor Series is now booked as The Four Horsemen will take on The Dangerous Alliance. Jerry Lawler makes the feud with the British Bulldog more personal as he attacks Owen Hart on RAW in October however Bulldog and Owen have a surprise for Lawler as Jim Neidhart returns to the WWF and attacks Lawler Bruce Hart is also willing and able as a match is booked between the Hart family against Lawler and his knights for the Survivor Series. The Cactus Jack-UT feud gets weirder as he is confronted by the Undertaker and all he says is "bang-bang" until people sneak up behind UT and he says look behind you and indeed people later revealed two weeks later as Hugh Morrus, Raven, along with Doink attack the Undertaker two weeks on RAW Cactus Jack challenges the Undertaker at Survivor Series Undertaker says he has a team of his own and he brings out Razor Ramon, and the LOD. This sets up their showdown for Survivor Series. Earthquake is now teamed with Yokozuna as The New Disasters Survivor Series shoot development: Jerry Lawler is charged with rape and is out of action indefinitely his spot in the Survivor Series is taken by Shawn Michaels.

A week later on RAW Owen Hart questions if Bret ever really cared about his and Bulldog's problems with Jerry Lawler and he says that Bret was selfish and was too concered with Paul.E instead of worrying about his own family. Bret strongly denies this and appeals to Owen by recalling how it was always Owen's dream to tag with Bret and makes an offer for them them to be a tag team. Owen accepts and a Tag Title match is soon booked for the Royal Rumble with them and the Hollywood Blondes. Shawn Michaels starts walking around with a "bogus" IC title and says that Razor isn't the real champion. Nevertheless Michaels does enter in the Royal Rumble Manager updates- heels Paul E.

On that RAW, Ric Flair is there and Paul E. confronts him in the end, Flair attacks Heyman! Luger comes out to his rescue but Perfect then makes the save for Flair.

The following week Flair is attacked by Vader and Perfect assists him to the backstage area. It is then announced that Ric Flair will come out of retirement to fight Vader at Octoberfest. Also announced is that Bret Hart will take on Lex Luger for the title British Bulldog is "fined" for his actions at SS while Lawler vows revenge.
