Man, I just get this feeling that luke-o is a great guy to hang out with. Like if you did, you'd be laughing all the time. I dunno, man, I just get that feeling.

I KNEW IT

*dinosaur noise*?

Just the other day I saw Canadian Guitarist use the term in one of his posts! It's spreading, man. Like WILDFIRE!

WHOAMG WHAT IS THIS CONCEPT OF SARCASM I CAN'T COMPREHEND IT

I could edit that Wiki entry to say that the Katie Vick segment is the highest rated in Raw's history. Wiki can be edited by anyone; for that reason, it's not necessarily reliable. I had always heard that "This is Your Life" was the highest-rated segment as well; I'm just saying not to put too much stock in Wikipedia. Also, it's good to actually link to the article. Otherwise we have no way of knowing you didn't just make that up.

Well that's probably true. DAMMIT I KNOW SOMEONE DID THIS TO ME

I'm with you 100% on that. They seemingly tried to make Rey both champion and underdog. That's not a good combination, and it didn't work.

SOMEBODY FUCKED WITH MY SHIT

Dude, sources? I know a lot of people make claims like this, but if you're gonna say people shouldn't bother replying, you might want to back that up with something other than "Meltzer said." We've seen people just make up shit and attribute it to Da Meltz before. I am curious as to what the ratings and buyrates were like with Rey as champ on SD. I know they have a high Latino demographic, but I had heard he wasn't all that successful. And of course, that could be due to a myriad of things, but it still speaks in theory to his drawing power.

SJK is amusing me right now with his "angry mod" bit. It's pretty good.

Ho-ly shit, that's ironic. I so wish it was intentional.

Bison gets mad bitches. Actually, this is a really nice costume.

I'm so @#$% pissed about this

17 what? zing~! Legal in Ontario. She makes my johnson do an *elephant noise. Ha ha, YEAH! The noise is everywhere. Even yo' pants.

I am 100% certain a mod edited my post to fuck with me. I'm not perfect, but there's absolutely no way I'd make that mistake. I'm still way the fuck cooler than you, loser.

Sensei John Kreese, I shall not take your words lightly.

It's got its fans, but we're trying to expand into other markets. We're hoping to foster a sense of cross-cultural appeal.

KC -- I see what you're saying, and it makes sense. But as far as watching WCW vs. WWF back in the day or vice-versa...in a sense, there is still competition. You can either watch WWE or...not. Monday nights have Heroes, I think they have some CSI, there's football in the fall...a lot out there. If John Cena is getting people to change from one of those shows over to Raw, that's drawing power, no? I dunno, it's a sticky subject, there's no "official" criteria for what a draw is, but that's my take.

Here's a good way (well, I think it's good) to look at it. When was the last time you were on the fence about a wrestling PPV, or even firmly not going to buy it, when you heard about a match and decided "ooh, that's something I wanna see?" Chances are one of the guys involved is a draw, for you anyway. I say "chances" because these days, gimmick matches can be as big a draw as workers, what with hell in the cell, elimination chamber, money in the bank, and so on. But usually people have a guy or guys they're willing to pay to see. That's a draw. So then the question is, are there ten guys you're willing to pay to see wrestling today? I know my answer: nope.

17 what? zing~!

WHAT, WHY?! No, no no no no no, no no no. Oh holy shit no. Are you serious? Are you SERIOUS. The dude may have had the top gimmick of the early 90s, but since then he's been a Satanic priest of some sort, a biker, then BACk to supernatural zombie who shoots lightning and crap. The Undertaker routine WAS perhaps the greatest classic "gimmick" of all time. But to claim that it still is is beyond insane. The Undertaker is over because he's an immediately recognizable and popular figure who, and I find this baffling, the majority seem to enjoy watching in the ring. That's it. The pops now are roughly equivalent to his Bikertaker pops. He's a "legend," along the lines of Hogan. This terrible, dated gimmick has zero to do with that popularity. And if you buy into it, even one iota, you're a complete moron. I'm not saying don't enjoy Undertaker, but for heaven's sake, don't herald this gimmick as the greatest ever. He's an undead wizard who wears a tank top.

*elephant noise*

LA RES 2K7!! I'll echo what everyone else is saying: Punk was awesome tonight. This new role will be awesome for him.

I think my cat just farted. Here's what I know: I'm in my room, the door is open, the cat is in the living room, I heard a fart noise, and my roommate's door is closed. Either she farted or there's a very inexperienced burglar in the other room. I hope he doesn't take my 360.
