Nah, it usually goes like this. "The number one movie in America." "The number one comedy in America." "The number one romantic-comedy in America." "The number one romantic-comedy starring Meg Ryan...in America." or something along those lines. The #6 movie can still claim the #1 thriller in America tag line.

Didn't Booker put over The Disco Inferno the same night he won the title?

Sorry, but "The Wall" can eat my ass. Few good tracks on a double album doesn't make it a classic.

I dunno. While I still consider Buffy my favorite show, I watched way too much of it. Seasons 2 through 5 especially. So The Shield has way more replay value for me right now.

Holly: "If you see the Big Show, you tell him the Big Shot's lookin' for him." I liked The Big Shot

They were going after a juvenile offender

Boxers don't have sex before a fight, do you know why that is? They don't fancy each other.

He left the team, and I imagine it was just easier for everyone to leave the barn entirely, he was in bad with the other guys in the Strike Team. I had no idea that Shane and Lem would start off elsewhere. I thought they'd still be in the barn paired up with someone else.

I'm looking to get a copy of season 2 of Showtime's Jeremiah, I've got wrestling tapes for trade bait. If anyone has it please e-mail, IM, or PM me. thanks

1. Why did the Strike Team break up? -Lem was scared they were going to get busted with the money they ripped off of the Arminean mob, so he burned it. Lem was talking about leaving, and Vic talked him into staying on...UNTILL Shane ran his mouth saying they were stuck with him, only because Acevada said he'd break up the team if any of them split...Lem split 2. Why did Shane leave? -Team was broken up after Lemonhead left. 3. Why does the DA not like Claudette? What did she do? -Claudette and Dutch were investigating a case about a DA who was killed outside of a courthouse. When the body was examined it was determined she was high on meth (I believe). Ducth and Acevada just wanted to find the shooter. But Claudette went deeped to find her drug dealer. Because people might have gotten poor representation if the DA was trying cases while high, and innocents might have been locked up. Everyone else at the Barn was pissed over this cause convictions they worked hard to get could be overturned by this. So she's basicaly pissed off everyone by now. And Ducth is only sticking by due to loyalty, but that could change. 4. When did Aceveda get raped? And is that why he was rubbing one out while watching that rape video? -He got raped about mid way or two-thirds of the way through season. He was tied up by a couple of thugs and forced to perform a blowjob on one while the other took a pic on a phone. He followed the two later in the season to a storm robbery, and shot one dead and took the phone off the body to erase the pic. He had the other cornered in a house with a gun trained on him, but the Strike Team was just behind him looking for the same guy, so he didn't kill him. He told him later that he was going to prison and if he ever told stories about what happened he would have him killed. 5. What ever happened to all of that money they stole? -Lem burned it in a furnace...it was a few million, Lem burned all but a couple hundred thousand I believe. 6. How come Claudette didn't get the Captain job? -All because of the DA thing. She was hated in the barn after that.

Jericho's entire curiserweight run. A heel, going over clean just about every week *GASP!* YOU CAN DO THAT?! Taking prizes off the wrestlers he beat. His feud with Malenko was some of the best stuff WCW's ever done.

What do you call a black guy that flies a plane for a living? A pilot, you fucking racist!

Nevember Rain is a very good song, but not the best ever. And smells like Teen Spirit is the most overrated song of all time. If Vedder had killed himself instead then the list would have Jeremy. That goddamn song shot to the top of every list when that moron blew his head off...and I liked Nirvana

I liked Crazy and Yoshi's House Party 99 match the best out of their series

I didn't like it. I watched it again a few months ago and still didn't care for it. I'm not asking for a million falls, but the Brock/Kurt and Rocky/Hunter matches showed you can move a little faster without burning out. I think Shawn and Bret held back more than they had to.

Ducth is definatly going to have to go one up on Vic sooner or later, this would be perfect

Yea, but its funny. No... it's not Yeah, D-Listers who've done nothing ripping on people with legit careers. Those shows suck and they're not funny

STATE TAKES THE LEAD!

Matchbox's first album had some good stuff on it, then their material got weaker and weaker. Like every other band from that time it seemed. Gin Blossoms were pretty good...although their songs all sounded the same. As far as new mid 90s bands I liked Better Than Ezra.

Then go see it already. You can find the fancam

I think the IC title held more weight than the WCW title did in 2000-2001. The belt seemed to change hands every week. It's easy to be a five or six time champ like Booker or Jarrett when the title traded on every other tv show and every ppv

Awesome entered through the crowd. There was a lockerroom brawl just before and everyone had cleared to the back. Tazz's WWF music hit, walked out to the ring, then they had their match. Awesome left through the crowd as well.

Interview with Leben, ripped from Observer. http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/...t.asp?aID=12783 Note: The UFC released that Chris Leben will be fighting Jason Thacker on April 9 during the "The Ultimate Fighter" finale, shortly after this interview was conducted. Ever since the debut of "The Ultimate Fighter" on Spike TV, the name circulating around the Mixed Martial Arts community has been Chris Leben. Equally loved and despised, Leben's controversial personality has proven to be a television ratings draw. Over 2 million viewers tuned in for his much anticipated grudge match against Josh Koscheck, making it the most watched fight in UFC history. Leben, a 24 year old native of Portland, Oregon, has opened alot of eyes to the fact that MMA is indeed a character driven sport. Leben seems to have a firm grasp on his new found fame. "People notice me a little bit more. I still have the same friends. I'm not trying to make new friends or play off my popularity. I get free beer more but other than that, not much has changed for me." How did this journey begin for him? "At first I heard about the show from a couple of guys who saw something about it online. So I asked Randy (Couture) and he said that he might end up being one of the host and that I should send in a video tape. I got someone to to help me make a highlight video and I sent it in to them." Chris is a member of the famous Team Quest fight team. He was not the only member of the team to be represented on the show. Randy Couture was made one of the two head coaches and Nate Quarry competed along side him for the prize of a UFC contract. "We all got on the same team but I was ready if I had to end up competing against them. That possibility ran through my head." During the first week of training, Leben found himself on the cutting block due to his behavior while drinking and interacting with the other fighters. "I was a little worried. Randy doesn't stand for alot of bullshit so it did run through my mind." When Coach Couture chose to cut Chris Sanford instead, many felt favoritism may have come into play. "I think Randy was tougher on me and Nate if anything rather than being bias. In all actuality, comparing me to Chris Sanford and why he got cut instead of me is a joke. A fool can see I deserved to be there alot more than he did. He came in out of shape and was slacking through every workout. I was there training and pushing it hard. No one can say I wasn't doing that." Upon entering the competition, Chris was already sizing the fighters up. "I knew Koscheck and Diego Sanchez were going to be tough. I think alot of the guys in the house are ready to be in the UFC. Myself, Nate, Diego, Forest, Stephen, Bobby, Swick. Alot of those guys are top skilled fighters who have made their mark in the world of MMA. They just haven't been signed to a big show." As far as his thoughts on Josh Koscheck in the beginning "I challenged him first because I just didn't like him. Right away, I didn't like his attitude. I did not think that he had made that big of a mark in MMA to be acting as tough as he was." One fighter who Leben appeared to go out of his way to haze was Jason Thacker. When asked in particular about the bed spritzing incident, he said "I had nothing against Jason. Alot of that was me joking around and was supposed to be in good fun. Alot of it was me being a little tipsy as well." During the course of the show, Leben ended up on the loosing end of two highly debated fights. His first loss was by judges decision to Josh Koscheck. "I think if it went to a 3rd round, I would have beat him. I don't think he beat me in that fight. He out wrestled me. I kind of fault the judges. If they want to see someone like that in the UFC, if that's the kind of fighter they want to have, then we'll see how many people tune in to watch the show when they have two guys wrestling going at it. I wanted to get in there to fight. He did not want to fight me. He just wanted to lay on top of me." We all know by now the story surrounding the problems Leben has had with Koscheck and Bobby Southworth. Rumors were going around that Randy Couture may not be too fond of either one as as well. "I don't think Randy has bad blood with anybody. I can tell you that I don't like either one of them. I can't speak for Randy but I'm glad I don't have to listen to Bobby whining all the time or Josh's squeaky voice either." Koscheck and Southworth along with Mike Swick are all affiliated with the American Kickboxing Academy. Leben handed Swick his only career loss by knocking him out in a fight last year. During the show, Swick had said he wanted a rematch in order to avenge the loss. "I like Mike Swick. He and Alex Schoenauer actually came up and trained with us a few months after the show and we got along real well. At first we got into that little spat but after we got that out of the way, we got along just fine. Would I fight him? Yeah, if the money was right. We are professionals that get paid to fight and that's what we do. I wouldn't say I would like to fight him. I am not gunning for him. I have no reason to be." After his elimination loss to Koscheck, Chris was given a second chance in the competition when Nate Quarry's injured ankle caused him to withdrawal. He suddenly found himself in the semifinals facing off against Kenny Florian. Chris was the heavy favorite going in and appeared to be well on his way to victory. Near the end of the 2nd round though, Florian caught him with an elbow which opened up a cut over his eye and causing the fight to be medically stopped. "Kenny definitely surprised me. I looked at him as being a smaller jiu jitsu guy. Just looking at him, he doesn't look like a real tough individual. Obviously by watching our fight and seeing some of the shots I hit him with and how he weathered the storm and fought through that was very impressive. I would not have done anything different in that fight though. I do not see where I did too much wrong. The majority of the fight looked like a highlight real for me. Kenny did real good at staying in there but I did one small mistake by letting him get a inside bicep tie up on me when in the clinch. There are so many elements in Mixed Martial Arts where one small little detail can change the whole outcome of a fight and that's what happened." How does Leben compare his two opponents from the show along side some of the other tough fighters he has faced such as UFC veterans Joe Doerkson & Benji Radach? "Koscheck did not have the skills to hurt me. I wasn't afraid of that at all. He didn't do any damage to me and I knew he wouldn't be able to. He is a great wrestler but sooner or later I would have caught him. Kenny is a tough guy but I have definitely been in there with guys who were equally as skilled along with being bigger and stronger. I felt like I was doing real good against him until I got caught with that elbow." If given the choice, would he have picked Florian as his semifinal opponent or would Koscheck or Diego been chosen? "I really wanted to fight Diego Sanchez. I like Diego but I thought that would be a good win for me to have since he did so good on the show and won those couple of fights but at the same time my pride would have made me fight Josh. I think I would have had to right that wrong. I know that I am the better fighter and it was a bullshit decision. I think I would have picked Josh." Has Dana White acknowledged the fact that Leben is a strong ratings draw and will that open the door for him into the UFC? "I think they knew that I was a big part of the ratings success. Alot of people tuned in to watch what I was going to do next, to see if I was going to do something crazy or whatever. So I definitely say they have acknowledged that. I hope some doors will be open because if they want me on their PPV, that means I can make more money and in the long run I think it would make everyone more money." If Chris were to be offered a spot on an upcoming PPV, who would be his dream opponent at this stage in his career? "Oh man, there are so many guys out there who I would like to fight. One would be Joe "Diesel" Riggs. I don't think it would be an easy fight but I think our styles and the way we matchup would prove to be an explosive fight?" How does Chris respond to the personality comparisons made between himself and Tito Ortiz? "I don't know. Maybe I haven't followed Tito's story all that much. I have met him before and he seemed like a nice enough guy. I don't know what's so bad about him. I don't know exactly what he does. I mean, if I win a fight I am not going to jump on top of the cage and say that I am the greatest in the world or anything along those lines. I might get a little wreckless and have some fun but I don't know if that is the same as what he does in any way." Evan Tanner is the current UFC Middleweight Champion. Leben and Tanner used to be teammates. "I don't really know why Evan and Team Quest parted ways. The best I can tell was that it had something to do with contract issues. I know they still talk. I saw him the other day. I think it was more business reasons than anything." Leben was very honest when asked if he felt ready to challenge Tanner for the title. "No! You know he is the world champ where I have been training as a pro for just a little over three years. That is the stage where I am at right now. Evan has probably beat me up over a thousand times. That is why I am the fighter I am today. Because of people like Evan Tanner and Matt Lindland who have worked with me. I would like to fight some guys who are lower on the totem pole before I challenge for a UFC title." Finally, I asked for his predictions concerning some upcoming fights. He picked Ken Shamrock over Rich Franklin so Kenny now leads 2-1 in the TUF interview series. Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg? "I know Hughes beat him last time with a choke. I dont know why Trigg tried to take him down in that fight. I am going with Trigg though. I know he is the underdog but I think he can do it." Last but not least, Randy Couture vs. Chuck Liddell? "That's an easy one. Randy is looking ridiculously tough right now. Nobody is stopping him." Here is a funny story to close things out. I asked Chris how he felt fellow team member, Heath Simms would fare in his upcoming figh? "What? Do I care? I hope they both lose!" Leben replied. Did I hear this right? Is there dissension in the ranks of Team Quest? I better ask him again as a responsible journalist. "You two are teammates, right?" I asked. "Oh, you said Heath Simms? I thought you said WES SIMMS!!!" Come on Leben, give me some credit! Everybody knows what the outcome of any match involving Wes "The Project" Simms would be. I would like to thank Chris Leben (www.chrisleben.com), Dave Meltzer, David Schwarz, Spike TV, and everyone who emailed me questions this week. I am sorry if I did not get to ask some of your questions. The volume of email was huge when I announced that I would be interviewing Leben. If it were Wes Simms, I could have fit them all in but "The Cat Smasher" is just on a whole other level! I will be back next week with The Ultimate Fighter Report and then a few days later, I guess I will be interviewing either Diego Sanchez or Josh Koscheck. You can email questions to [email protected].

The Tazz Awesome match is like 2 minutes long. Taz comes to the ring, trades punches with Awesome, spill to the outside, Taz punches, Awesome rolls Taz into the ring, Dreamer comes in and hits Awesome with the DDT, Taz chokes out Awesome

Any face more over than Jarrett will turn heel.
