Just giving you shit, guy.

What's the story on Ryo Chonan? I've seen Alves fight a few times and he's becoming a favorite of mine, and I'm wondering how he stacks up with this guy.

"I'm Michelle McCool, and I'm lovin' everybody!"

She had the work done because Victoria (?) busted her nose. Obviously, that required work to alter her previous look. Sweet, I totally didn't address that in my original post. Thanks for the heads up!

No, I'm with you. She looks like she's had a *lot* of work done. A buddy of mine says that "she doesn't even look human anymore" and "she doesn't even look like the same person!" I don't know on #1, but as for #2...YOU BE THE JUDGE! vs. I definitely see a difference in the nose and cheeks...whether that's just the photo or evidence of something more, who knows. Also, I thought she did break her nose, so there's that. She is kind of orange, though. WHAT'CHA GONNA DO?!

I agree with BL and Perfection on Candice; she's stepped it up quite a bit. Moreover, she lost the spinning wheel kick, which she couldn't hit, and replaced it with the bulldog, and now the Unprettier. Hide your weaknesses. Smart. It's nice to see, with Trish gone, another "pretty" one stepped up to take the babyface role. Victoria and Beth need someone to work with. Hmm...that actually gets me thinking about Victoria vs. Beth. Might be cool.

Rob Bartlett makes me want to kill myself, but the ICOPRO and Mach Man Slim Jim ads were great markout moments.

Or both. ...both.

See, this is what I'm talking about. Actual reasons the WWE folder sucks. And it only took us six pages! I'll throw on another one. People state their opinions as the end-all, be-all of the discussion. Take a look at ANKLELOCK's recent post in the John Cena thread. It's not that he's wrong, it's that he's so sure he's right. He leads with "I'm only gonna say this once," as though we're all morons who haven't come to the epiphany ANKLELOCK has had yet. There's a lot of that -- "you guys are stupid, this is how it is, now close the thread, bitches!"

X also, you're missing a comma

A woman?

I hate everyone SO much.

I'm just saying, I've got friends in Seattle. If I'm ever up visiting and I see a guy wearing a "cheech" t-shirt (I assume all TSM posters wear shirts with their usernames on them...I do), that fucker's in trouble.

So, Benoit. Hard to fault WWE for Eddie's drug use; that was a choice he made. Hard, then, to fault them for Eddie's death. Which makes it hard to fault them for that one part of Benoit's depression. You can point to the "culture" in the industry for Benoit's drug/steroid use, but lest we forget, at some point he made a choice. Even if he took steroids and painkillers to make it in the biz, he still decided that was the career he wanted. No one forced Chris Benoit to be a wrestler. They certainly are at least partially guilty for his concussions, and those admittedly seem to be the biggest factor in all of this. I would even go so far as to say the WWE is directly responsible for letting Benoit's brain get damaged to the point it was. But, just remember, there have been hundreds of guys in this business, who fall on their heads, take chairshots, jar their bodies, dive onto concrete, and so on; dozens who have done so at Benoit's level. And, to date, not one of them has killed their families. So, you can choose to look at it one of three ways. Either this man is a victim of circumstance, led down the path by a vile corporation who cared nothing for him beyond dollar signs, and turned their back when the warning signs showed up (and by the way, nearly everybody interviewed following the events said Benoit exhibited no signs that he'd do something like this); or perhaps this man was evil, a sick human being who gained pleasure by breaking people's necks and causing pain; or maybe, just maybe, an unfortunate set of circumstances led to an unthinkable event that left the whole world shocked. And while the WWE may not have responded in the most apologetic way possible, and while this definitely shows that changes are needed within the industry (and the government seems to be on it), what happened here does not invalidate the entire industry, nor does it make it "wrong" to enjoy it. This is just my opinion, of course. However, if you're pointing the finger solely at the wrestling business, or at WWE, I feel you're not looking at the whole picture. This thread fucking blows, by the way. It's as bad as the subject it's mocking. If I ever see cheech on the street, I'm going to kick him in the dick so hard, it turns into a pussy.

Cheech, half of this shit isn't even true! No one said HHH, Batista, and Lashley were the ONLY guys on roids. No one said CM Punk is better than everyone. And no one said HHH is the worst person in the world. There's a lot of hyperbole in the WWE folder, and a lot to call it out on, but you're just making shit up at this point. Christ. This thread would be awesome if it wasn't so terrible.

So, you know what would be tight? Reading! Let's look at it again: This time with emphasis added: Once more with feeling! BUT WAIT; THERE'S MORE!! I'm sorry? So you're saying... One more time? The saddest thing is that there were three or four other people who couldn't grasp that fact; that, while from a public relations, business, and internal standpoint, this is clearly the worst year in history, that doesn't make it the least entertaining. The two are separate conditions. No, wait, i apologize; the truly sad thing is that the WWE folder DOES suck, and you've got me in here defending it, because you called to task a thread that actually inspired rational discussion. GOOD JOB. Fucking idiot.

To me, the last two matches killed this PPV. Nothing was blowaway, but they were clipping along just fine until Cena/Orton. Cena, who was supposed to be OMG SO PISSED, threw lame duck punches for five minutes until the DQ. Then we put John Cena's father over, hooray! Why not just have Orton kick Cena's dad's ass after the match, then have Coach agree he was a distraction and set up the no-DQ rematch @ No Mercy? Instead, Orton gets punked out. And then, the f***ing Undertaker comes back. You know, he really DOES get a lot of cheers. I can't fathom it; he's beyond stale. But regardless of what you think of him, no one can work against Mark Henry. It's impossible. He's a talent vortex. But BAH GAWD, it's the Undertaker coming back from the dead for the fifth time, so it gets the ME slot. Batista's win popped the crowd, and the RAW tag match was good. They built momentum, and all the last two matches had to do was carry us home. They failed.

INFINATELY!! Lern two spel, raycist.

Absolutely no one said that. Literally, there's no instance in the thread of someone calling the Michaels DVD cover "manly." In fact, no one said anything at all about it, until you did.

This is a pretty good chat.

Why not? You racist.

Doesn't he know steroids are EEEEEEEEEEEVIL~!

I'm not going to stir up the board again, but I'll be happy to provide a doctoral dissertation on why the Mania match was better to anyone who asks. It's not even close, really.

To be fair, this does sound like a bad movie plot. Like, in order to resurrect his career, the Juice must break into Excalibur and steal his lucky cleats. Written by the Amazing Rando, coming to you this Christmas!
