Poch: the Lesnar/Taker HIAC was a SmackDown! production.

The problem with HHH/Michaels was that it didn't really need to be in the cell. It was a good enough match, but they could have just done it straight...except they needed to do something to make it different than the 30 other HHH/HBK matches over the past two years. And remember, neither man was champion at this point, but by God, we gotta get them in the main event.

Wait wait wait wait wait. You claim that the forum -- a group of many people, with varied opinions -- isn't an authoritative source for what's good and what's bad, then go on to state as fact that there was one good thing about the entire storyline. I'm just making sure I have this right.

There's a lot of 6' guys in the business. They're small, but there's a lot of them, and so they don't look as freakish. Outside of the cruiser ranks, there's almost nobody 5'7 (right?), and there's really not even that many counting cruisers. I'm not saying that's what makes a champion, or even what makes the "look" of a champion, but it debunks your argument pretty well. Hart, Michaels, et al could stand amongst peers, so to speak. Rey's always going to be the smallest.

Prefer to be given only finish and call everything else in the ring? Lay the entire match out beforehand? I'd like to wing most of it. I wouldn't, at first. I think the ability to do that is very impressive. Like to have your promo's scripted? Or just be given a couple of bullet points, and wing the rest? If they scripted it, I'd go off-script. I couldn't be limited like that. Blade often? Only on occasion? Would you rather never blade at all? Only on very rare occasion -- once every year, or maybe even less. Guys like HHH, HBK, Hogan, et al who ALWAYS blade make it seem so fake. What style would you like to wrestle? Why would you prefer to employ that particular style over others? I'd want to be a power-wrestling heel, because I think I could do it well. I love seeing guys hit a big move; seeing someone just leveled by a clothesline, or watching a back broken by a powerbomb. I also think I could learn to sell and bump well, as I have a decent pain threshold, and it's impressive to see a 6'5, 300lb. guy get beat up by a plucky babyface. Refuse to take certain moves? Only take them when working with certain wrestlers? I wouldn't take headdrops from anyone I didn't trust. But if I did trust the person I was in there with, I'd take anything. A lot of my favorites -- Rock, Kanyon, Rey -- were willing to take anything and make it look good. Are there any match types you'd like to wrestle in a lot? Some match types you'd rather never have to work in? I grew up on ladder matches and, if I ever was to be a professional wrestler, I'd almost need to have one at some point. I just think there's so much you can do in that type of match, even after all the ones we've seen. I would rather never work the "hardcore" style, or the deathmatch style. I don't care for weapons, really, beyond chairs and tables. What style of normal match would you like to do the most? Would you prefer to sell or to dominate? Would you like to do long matches? Well, I'd prefer to both sell AND dominate, as detailed above. But I wouldn't ever be afraid to show ass. As much as I love submission matches, I don't think I'd be good at them, or really enjoy them as a participant. I'd love to do an Iron Man match, as long as I had the cardio for it, because, again, it's something you wouldn't expect from a big man. Would you like to have a manager or valet to work spots with or would you rather just do it all yourself? I'd like to have a manager, valet, or even both at some point...but, if I ever made it to the top, I'd like to do it on my own. Are there some types of angles that you would refuse to do? Some types of angles that you'd love to do? I'd refuse to do something racist or otherwise prejudiced. I think there's a place for television to touch on that subject, but wrestling isn't it. Other than that, not much. I love the spectacle of the business. I'd LOVE to be the heel who allies with the face after the other heels beat him down -- the "common enemy" angle. I think it's a great way to turn face. Show you have honor, etc. What promotion would you like to work for the most? What promotion would you hate to work for? Right now, I'd love to be a part of TNA. I think if they can get a few non-X guys that are decent, guys like Christian, they can be really special. I'd hate to work for some indy deathmatch fed, like an XPW. What promotion of the past would you most liked to have worked for? What promotion would you have hated working for the most? Any wrestlers today that you'd like to work against? Any you would avoid working against at all costs? I can't even imagine working against HBK right now. It makes me too giddy. I'd also love to work against Angle. A big suplexfest. Rey would be a fun match. I'd hate to work with Cena, HHH, or JBL. What wrestlers from the past would you like to work against? What wrestlers from the past would you not want to work against? I'd love to be able to work with Bret Hart. He seems like the kind of worker that'd make you better for working with him.

Isn't he in the Finnish parliament or some such?

Actually, I've got the inside scoop on Jerry's newest find...

I AM TO BE NEXT WWE SUPERSTAR

Doink the Clown, and no.

Rock: No. He always had a very natural, somewhat lanky look to him. Austin: ...maybe? I dunno. I don't think so, I don't see it, but it kind of wouldn't surprise me. Foley: Pssh, no. Hogan: Well, DUH...but I think he's been clean since coming back to WWE. Warrior: He's, like, the poster child for steroids. Sting: Didn't look it. Sid: I'd think so, but then he did have a very big frame. Not only tall, but broad. Maybe not as bad as some of the guys. Bret Hart: I don't think so, no. It wouldn't surprise me if he expirimented, though, being as passionate as he is about wrestling. But he never looked it and it's not his style. HBK: Probably in the 80s, and DEFINITELY during his run on top. I mean, as a kid I didn't notice, but it seems so obvious now. At present, I doubt it. He's very lean. Jericho: I noticed he bulked up around 2002, but it didn't seem like roids to me. Chyna: I'd think so. Randy Savage: Dude was a bit too big for his frame. Seemed like he was on them, then off for awhile in the early 90s, then back on during his WCW run. Owen Hart: Nope. Luger: BWAAAAAAA HAHAHAHA Steamboat: Didn't seem like it.

I'm affiliated with <----------- this guy.

You were I AM THE ALLIANCE?

Is there some kind of all-time scoreboard located online that gives us the world's leaders in gay points? No. And furthermore, can you ever get points deducted from your gay score? Yes. How many do you lose for fucking a girl? Lots. How many do you gain for fucking a guy? More. What happens if you get a blow job from a post-op transvestite? Ejaculation, if they're any good.

I'm liking the Frylock in the background.

While I can understand that the Bears/Packers rivalry is stronger than Vikings/Packers, your baseball analogy is much closer to the Vikings rivalry. The Packers have the rich championship history (like NY) while the Vikings have the "so close yet so far" history (like Boston before last year), and of course Packers fans love to remind Vikings fans of this at every opportunity (again, like NY to Boston) The Packers and Bears both share rich championship history, so they'd be more like... I dunno actually. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I know. Tell me about it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I miss the NFC Central. The Vikings and Bucs was always a good match, and Tampa being the only loss in the 15-1 season laid the groundwork for a big rivalry. Then, bam, here comes Houston. Those fuckers.

First I would eat the banana, because I like bananas. Then I might or might not eat the apples.

Yea, it's too bad Dinsmore LIVES IN INDIANA. Indiana is next to Kentucky. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not to engage in dicksuckery, but this is why I love Czech. He doesn't just make the post; he throws in a map of the United States so you can SEE your error. Bravo, sir. Anyway, hopefully Dinsmore will confront his demons, and one will be this awful character. "Eugene drove me to drugs!" They should make the gimmick face Kane.

I'm not a beer aficionado or anything, and for all I know Leinenkugel's is really regional. But, if you guys have the chance, you should give it a try. It's not a cider, it's a beer all right, but it has this apple kick to it...it's really good. It's fruity without being fruity, and it's pretty smooth. So give it a try already.

GOOOOOOOOOOO VIKINGS LET'S WIN THE GAME! GOOOOOOOOOOO VIKINGS CALL OUT YOUR NAME! V-I-K-I-N-G-S! GOOOOOOOOOOO, VIKINGS, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I've only seen the second half, but this is a really good game.

So did I. IT COULD SAY MY F'N PLAYER'S NAME! DON'T YOU JUDGE ME! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank God someone else understands. Did it say your whole name? The game understood both my first and last name, so my create-a-slugger got a full intro each time at bat. Pretty awesome. That was, if not realistic, a really great, fun game.

DAMN YOU KOREN ROBINSON

What?

So. Graphic novella may or may not be going up tomorrow, depending on if I can...um...find it. Oh and BL is chill.
