Does anyone know how many Hell in the Cell matches they've done per year since its inception? oldskool has me wondering if they do in fact store it somewhere. I always assumed that WWE was like a traveling circus, where outside of the "main office," where they do the paperwork, everything is on the road at all times.

Shot in the dark: It's ironic that Inc would make a comment about how nothing happens/changes around here, since he himself doesn't bring about any changes, or anything noteworthy. Of course, I don't want to put words in pbone's mouth, despite the fact that that's precisely what I'm doing here. If you guys had given me ideas for shit to draw in MSPaint, I wouldn't have to resort to this kind of idle speculation.

A friend of mine's father always said that "everything is symbolic for sex, and sex is symbolic for death." Always made me laugh.

The finish to HHH/HBK at Summerslam '02 has always been a favorite of mine, everything from the table spot on. Michaels puts HHH through the table, and HHH stays down from that sick spot long enough for Shawn to hit the elbow off a ladder. Shawn comes up with this "I'm still standing" look, then moves into position. He throws the superkick, HHH catches him, spins him, looks for the Pedigree, but Michaels grabs a jacknife roll for 3. Great because it was a series of two HUGE spots leading to the end; then they countered each other's finishes without making it look contrived. A "fluke" win was better for Shawn, as well, since HHH was the big badass and Shawn was back from injury. Just really well thought-out and executed. Orton's win over you-know-who at Summerslam '04 was good too, just the RKO truly out of nowhere. I like that a lot better than his "stalker" routine. Reminded me of the way DDP could grab the diamond cutter at any time. Shawn vs. Shelton from the Gold Rush tourney on RAW on (I think) May 2, 2005, was also awesome -- the one where Shelton springboards off the top right into the superkick. Just a sweet visual. Shawn's collapse onto him and the subsequent reaction were good, too, selling how Shelton took him to town.

You fuckers are useless.

I won't be around until late tomorrow. I expect lots of suggestions by then. Actual ones, as opposed to pictures of me, me pregnant, or Ahmed Johnson.

Two Vanhalen threads in three days. Whatever else you wanna say about the guy, he's a hot topic right now.

Good lord.

The irony is that the reason new people probably don't go/stay in there is because there's no new people in there. CHANGE BEGETS CHANGE! I may have to venture north with my new ideas (by which I mean moderately conservative, and not at all new) to shake things up. Or I might not. Either way.

The Eden Prairie Center got redone about ten years ago. It's "nice" now. I hate it, I miss the old, sort of ghetto mall. Alf -- h8 u

Thats like the awsome-ist idea ever. Agreed. That really is freaking awesome. Really? Blowing a potential money-making return on a Royal Rumble match that he cannot in all fairness win is "awesome"? Yep.

I have it right now and it sucks. .... I'm bored, someone tell me something I should draw in MSPaint.

Theory: Vanhalen and Cyber Mark Madden are one and the same. Evidence: 1. They're both Brits. 2. They share an avatar. 3. ...... Two points is still two better than most claims made here at TSM.

YES INTERNET! I don't have much of an opinion on Vanhalen, but his posts in this thread make me wonder if Britain doesn't harbor some resentment to Canada I wasn't aware of. Maybe I can learn something too!

Did anyone else play the STREET FIGHTER ROLE PLAYING GAME?! I did. It was made by White Wolf and actually had a pretty nice combat system, but, even as a fan, I find the concept ridiculous.

Awesome.

Wait, as opposed to "Cena does use steroids, because YOU told us so?" Kind of a double fault on this one.

If this is true (and I have no reason to doubt you, I just have no idea), then I also think that would be a likely scenario.

My mother is 5'5", my father is 5'9", and I'm 6'5". There's more to "good genetics" than heredity. It can be recessive traits showing, or even random mutations. Either way, when you look at all the different shapes and sizes people come in, it's easy to see that the human body is capable of getting pretty big on its own. I'm not saying that Cena was born all jacked up, but if he has a big frame (which he clearly does) and he's predisposed to having a lot of muscle mass and he works out like a fiend, it's hard to claim "he must be on something." You can't say he's NOT on something, either, though. All we can do is speculate. Personally, if I had to guess, I'd guess he's not on roids. I'm sure he has a tremendous workout regime, and I'm sure he supplements it with stuff like protien bars and crazy weight gain powders, but with all the shit he talks and the fact that he hasn't been caught during Steroidmania 2007, my money's on clean.

From the spoilers: This is going to be fantastic.

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!
