While I still favor John Carpenter's Vampires as my all-time favorite vampire movie, and yes I know that that movie is one that most either love or hate. I think 30 days of night was a good balls to the wall, take no prisoners vampire flick. The graphic novel was good source material, and the movie did a good job bringing it to life.
-
I thought this sounded too good to be true to turn out quite how it was planned. Sounds like they wanted a big extravaganza and bit off a little too much their first time out.

I was hoping for that Raven/Sting feud, I remember reading an old house show report of the first Goldberg/Sting match prior to their Monday Nitro encounter where Raven's Flock came out and put the beatdown on Sting. I was waiting for them to do it on tv, and they never did.
-
Maybe they'll have guys like Dusty, Steamboat, Hayes, Vince, etc put the shows together and realize they don't need the damn writing team.

Oh and here is a decent Ric Flair/Steve Austin match from Raw 2002, prior to the walkout.

I was looking at the Lex Luger stroke thread, and as usual quite a few people shocked me with their tauntings of a man having health problems. So I decided to post a good dozen or so matches from his career to anyone that doesn't despise Luger. He was never a Hart, Flair, or even as good as his good friend Sting, but for awhile he was able to have a good match. He was never my favorite wrestler, but I do believe he deserves a better spot in everyone's mind then the guy who was next to Liz when she died, and who couldn't get a tight t-shirt off.

A more recent promo that doesn't involve the words "I Don't Knowww"
Recent Video of Lex Luger at a Christian Function I believe.

I'd probably buy this on dvd once they are done if they released it.
-
Isn't that the night that Hart was talking about at the Hall of Fame where they gave him the Hart Attack or whatever.
-
Well I hope it's just the heart attack for his sake, if he catches a heart problem early he can possibly turn his health around.
-
Well this convention seems a bit cursed with the pulling out of Nash, Hall, and Angle. Then the rumors about Lex Luger having a stroke.
-
Man that's horrible news. Lex is getting his life back on track. I hope he recovers well.

There is another Benoit book I saw earlier in the year. I figured it'd atleast take a year before someone wrote a book, but I suppose two in one year will come out.
-
This has been eating at me everytime I see him wrestle lately. Does anyone else think Tomko bares a resemblance to Kratos from God of War on ps2.
-
Damn even WCW usually gave Sting atleast two months to run with the belt, save for that one hour reign toward the end of WCW.
-
Good match listing only match not listed that I was hoping for is Survivor Series 02 with the title win, but I can probably still pick that up on Amazon.

Federal Court rules on Warrior vs. McMahon Case
It has been ruled by The United States Federal District Court of
Arizona that the complaint filed by Ultimate Creations, Inc. against
Vince McMahon; Titan Sports; and the WWE will not be dismissed and
will go to trial.
"To survive the motion to dismiss his defamation claims, Warrior must
establish that the statements 'are reasonably capable of sustaining a
defamatory meaning,' and that the statements 'are not mere comment
within the ambit of the First Amendment.' Knievel v. ESPN, 393 F.3d
1068, 1073-74 (9th Cir. 2005) (quotations omitted). Defendants
believe that Warrior has failed to establish either of these
requirements. The Court does not agree. After examining the totality
of the circumstances in which the Defendants statements were made,
the Court finds that Defendants allegedly made statements about
Warrior that can be reasonably interpreted as factual assertions that
may have brought him 'into disrepute, contempt, or ridicule' or
impeached his 'honesty, integrity, virtue, or reputation.'
Consequently, Warrior’s claims against Vince and Linda McMahon will
not be dismissed."
In a statement made by Bernie J. Gernay of PSI Marketing Group whom
represents Warrior, he stated, "There is no denying the legitimacy of
this complaint, just as there's also no denying that there is the
illegitimate, choreographed world of professional wrestling and then there is
the legitimate rule of law in the real world. Warrior lives in the
real world. WWE and the McMahons apparently do not. Warrior has made
another successful, 'constructive,' not 'self-destructive,' life
outside his former successes creating and performing the one-of-a-
kind Ultimate Warrior character. The McMahons seem to have problems
with that, both acknowledging it and letting it go. They can run
their company any way they wish to, but they have no right to discredit
the integrity or try to ruin the life of any former talent who
chooses to no longer be a part of their entertainment act, let alone
do so as they have outrageously seen fit to do in this instance,
through a film project that both defames my client and obscenely
profit. They can script their characters in provocative storylines
where common sense, decency and justice may never prevail, but none
of that will play very well inside a real court room in the real
world before a jury of real people. My client looks forward to that
day."
Good for him.

Not to mention Sting hit Angle in the face rather then his usual "I hit you in the gut, then you feed me your back" style.

New MMA Organization Cage Fighting Championships, Inc. (CFC) Offers $3 Million Purse for Randy Couture VS Fedor Emelianenko
Monday October 15, 1:45 pm ET
DAVIE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Cage Fighting Championships (CFC) Spokesperson Crawford Grimsley announced today, "The CFC will put up a $3,000,000 purse to bring the Couture vs Emelianenko fight to Pay-Per-View. $1,000,000 will be guaranteed to each fighter while the winner takes home an additional cool million, making this the largest single purse for any one MMA fight."
Grimsley, a former heavyweight boxer who went 12 rounds with big George Foreman for the world title in 1996 said, "I don't know who set up the current MMA system of sanctioning bodies locking fighters into exclusive long term contracts. I do know who is out to change this system though, we are, the CFC. We are not going to try to reinvent the wheel, but we would like to add a little of the business model that professional boxing has adopted for decades. Can you imagine if professional boxing would not allow champion to fight champion. How many great boxing matches would we have missed?"
Grimsley added, "The UFC has made this sport into what it is today and my hat is off to them, but in the same regard, we feel the sport must allow the best from any league to fight each other when the time is right. We are willing to sit down with any and all parties necessary to make this fight happen including the UFC, Randy Couture, the Gersh Agency, Fedor Emelianenko, his manager Vadim Finkelstein and M-1. It happens everyday in boxing. That's how you get an undisputed champion. This exclusivity only hurts the sport, the fans, the fighters and the amount of money a fighter can make. We are going to do everything we can to bring this fight and many others currently prohibited. It's time for the MMA to change for the benefit of the fighters and fans, not the sanctioning bodies."
The first CFC event took place October 6, 2007 and has already hit the radar of Mark Cuban's HDNet Network, which only broadcasts in 1080i High Definition, and the hit show Inside MMA. Highlights of the first CFC Middleweight Title fight "Let the Rage Begin" aired this last Friday, October 12, 2007. For airing information, go to www.hd.net and look for the Inside MMA schedule.

I don't know how true this is or not, but I saw it on Gerweck.net and haven't seen it posted here.

I just read that Arquette might actually be making his TNA debut, and that he wants Fairplay as his manager. I hate to say it, but TNA just pissed away two good pay-per-view main event with this impact.
-
According to gamingring.com the early build has gameplay very similar to No Mercy as stated before. Weak grapples, strong grapples, etc.
-
Ron Simmons was pretty good for about 5 years I'd say. Once he left WCW he just started going through the motions from what I've seen.
-
Hell they might throw the belt right back onto Angle.
-
In some points he seems like a nice guy, then a jerk, then completely clueless about the business he's in. I read like a 10 page preview they had on a website I copied it to my pc if anyone is interested I'll post the pages, it's not a horrible read.

Does Liger still work for NJPW?
TNA Talent May Leave

Sting was the face of a company virtually it's entire inception except for a period of time between 94-96 and it's last two years. Sting's merchandise sales in 1997 were second to Steve Austin only who made probably 7-8 million off of merchandise alone if I remember correctly. Kurt Angle is a bigger name only to people who don't watch wrestling and that follow amatuer wrestling, and any wrestling fan who started watching after 2001. I love Angle, but he's never really been on top of the WWE, he was always one step below the top guy or guys. Hell, when I talk to people who don't watch wrestling anymore, the casual fan is more excited that Sting is wrestling in TNA then when I bring up that Kurt Angle is there as well.
