The Stud Stable. I am shocked no one answered that one.

I never get why, when a wrestler changes their finisher, suddenly their old finisher becomes totally ineffective. The worst example of this was Billy Gunn. When he switched finishers from the Famouser to the One & Only, the Famouser became so ineffective that it couldn't even put away jobbers on Jakked. Of course, when his "The One" gimmick failed, he went back to the Famouser again. Plus, he was getting a pretty good push(I believe this was when he was teaming Chuck), so the Famouser was putting away some pretty notable guys. In fact, I believe it was treated as a pretty much "lights out" move for a short time there. Pretty funny since it couldn't even beat a jobber a few months prior. What happened? Did Billy Gunn travel to a Buddhist monastery and suddenly discover how to do the "perfect" Famouser or something? I never quite understood how a move could go from finisher to a near fall move to a lethal finisher again.

I hope someone else tries one. In hindsight, I am not really a big fan of that logo, but I am too lazy and lacking in ideas to work on another one.

I don't know if he's staying, but I would like to be the first to welcome Marvin to the Twisters. At the very least, it looks like the Twisters are trying to improve. That's a positive sign.

At least you've been to the playoffs. (I think) Poor Shiro will be remembered as the good player who was always on shitty teams. His loyalty is admirable, but it can get quite frustrating. I just hope he somehow reaches 3,000 hits because that would be a cool stat to achieve.

I am glad that game was stricken off the record books. I was embarrassed to be a fan of Michigan basketball for a long time after that game. Thankfully, Michigan seems to be rebounding now, and that game never officially happened.

The people who do this stuff seem like they are completely, yet rather enthusing. I could think of worse than spending the day around a bunch of cute Japanese girls who are dressed like their favourite anime character. Speaking of which... Lucky bastard...

Woohoo! One more season until I become a free agent! (and, with my luck, re-sign with Oklahoma.)

Oh darn! The bidding's closed! I REALLY wanted a Bucker T doll too!

I did a google search: And came up with this.

What is it with this wave of guys posting mediocre rap songs on the boards lately anyway? This is like the third or fourth one in the last week or so.

The Giant falling off the top of Cobo Hall The Yeti humping Hulk Hogan A Sabu match in WCW Talk about a historic night.

I never get these idiots spamming me. I feel so left out.

Cosmic Girl - Jamiroquai

I figure it will end up being another "supernatural" character. Maybe a Kane, Mordechai, or an entirely new character that they will eventually create. That appears to be the most logical answer anyway.

One of these years, I am hoping Suzuki actually makes it to the playoffs. The playoff recaps sound fun, but, alas, Suzuki's teams just seem to fall short.

Why exactly did WCW sign him and stick him as the fairly generic Big T anyway? He seemed like a semi-name during his Ahmed Johnson days. I figured they probably should have tried to play off that and see if he could somehow ressurrect his career.

I thought they just signed him because he held a pinfall victory over Steve Austin, so they thought it would be funny to have their Cruiserweight Champion beat some guy who once beat Austin.

I am glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I have to say that with the jokes in CE about him, it is hard for me take John Kerry seriously. Speaking of which, Dick Cheney questioned John Kerry's commitment to the flag. The Kerry group responded predictably.

Likely not. It seems like the WWE has been focused on Lita and the Diva Search anyway. I am missing the weekly Gail Kim and Molly appearances though.

It happens. I remember watching ESPN News once during the NBA and NHL Playoffs and their lead story was about a Brewers game because somebody hit for the cycle. I just sat there thinking, "But it's the Brewers, who gives a fuck?" I believe the Brewers game got more time than both the NBA and NHL games combined. Sure, maybe if it was the Yankees or a large market team, I can see it getting the time, but the highlights of an otherwise forgettable Brewers game getting more time than the playoffs of two other sports? Riiiight.

I always wondered why there was such a fascination with karaoke in Asia. After seeing that, I am beginning to see why.

ESPN College Basketball - Fun game. Unfortunately, my version had this nasty little glitch in it where if a player was injured, then suddenly the all the WORST backups would be the starters. There was nothing like starting a game ready to play only to have to restart because my starting lineup is loaded with backups geting most of the minutes. On the plus side, it was equal opportunity glitch, and fucked over many promising computer teams as well. I also nearly screwed myself in an NCAA tournament game against Arkansas. I was down by 1 in the final minute of the game, and I stupidly inbound out of bounds. Luckily, Arkanasas shared my stupidity as they accidentally threw the ball out of bounds as well. I took advantage getting a last second shot, as I thought about how much it must suck to be up by 1 with like 7 seconds left on the clock with the ball and STILL lose. Also, before learning how to shoot free throws, I almost lost a ton of games because I just couldn't get a free throw. NHL 2004 - Playoff game: Nashville(me) vs. Columbus - I decided I wanted more of a challenge so I played on a harder level than I usually do. I actually played well, holding a 1-0 lead late in the game. They pulled their goalie, and all I had to do, in theory, was hit the open net to win. I had the puck, I was skating towards the easy shot...hits the post. My player gets the rebound, he shoots...hits the post. They finally get it together, score, then win it in overtime. It could be worse, in one game, I actually had a late open net goal, and still managed to blow a two goal lead in the final minute. Of course, the game screwed itself a few times, the most notable were in my Tampa Bay Lightning season. From the first round series with Philadelphia featuring an AHL goalie from the Philly side . This guy was TERRIBLE(overall: 68, I'd find out after the playoffs were done.) Even my four line guys like Ben Clymer, who never scores, were getting goals off of this guy. Easy sweep. In the conference finals, I was matched up against the Rangers. In Game 1, Jussi Markannen was playing like a man possessed, stopping everything I threw at him. It was late in the game, and I could only muster a 1-0 lead. With 45 seconds left, the Rangers score. After cursing a blue streak, I went back at it, and with like 15 seconds left, the New York Rangers commit a two-line pass. I win the face off, and, after a scramble, Nikita Alexeev(about the last guy I'd expect to do anything) goes top shelf on Markannen with 5 seconds left. After that, Jussi Markannen play like well...Jussi Markannen as I went on to an easy series victory. The sad part is that the Rangers didn't learn their lesson, as the next season with 45 seconds left, one of my defensemen, who never scores, fires off a shot from practically centre ice and it goes in top shelf, as New York loses another in the final seconds. MLB 2004 - Dodgers(me) vs. Red Sox - I am up by 5 runs, and I have Jeff Weaver(who I enjoy using) pitching. Weaver struggles, and gives up a few runs, so I bring in one of my relievers. I should have paid more attention as this particular reliever sucked balls. So yeah, the game gets quickly tied up, and my team blows it in the 9th. Ah well, I'd get the Sox back in the World Series when, with my team up 3-1 in the series, I start my ace, while they start...Byung Hyun Kim. World Series elimination game and they start their 5th starter and a guy known for blowing it in the playoffs. Brilliant. He lasts 2 innings, as my team won in a romp. I was also ripped off of a home run once. Somehow, it bounced off the top of the wall or something meaning it was a ground rule double instead of a home run. I also blew a 6-0 lead to Arizona. Thankfully, Arizona got concerned that they might actually win a game, so they decide to bring in the World's Worst relievers to make sure they blow the game. 2 outs, nobody on, and they face my 8th hitter, so they get this "brilliant" idea to intentionally walk him to face my pitcher. I guess no one told him that I'd just pinch hit him...with a slugger. Home run...8-6 me. Enter the 9th, as I think "Well, they can't get much more stupid than the last inning." I guess they must have heard me, and decided to try their damnedest to top the embarrassment from the last inning. 2 outs again, and two people on base with my worst hitter up, hitting a mean .150. Naturally, I was readying for Gagne time at this point. So, anyway, the pitcher fucks up and walks my worst hitter. This leads to my 8th hitter coming up to the plate, and I guess he was pissed about that intentional walk the inning before, as he kindly sends a grand slam into the seats. They yanked the pitcher about 4 batters too late, as I went on to win 12-6. I felt bad for Arizona.

Sheesh. This is like the second day in a row where the Red Sox had the bases loaded with nobody out and managed to not score a run. That has to be frustrating.

Despite Oklahoma's woes, I must admit that I LOVE seeing Phoenix sucking ass in last place without Suzuki.
