I disagree with Flairs views on Foley as a worker. Foley was one of those guys who'se looks were deceiving. He looked like a slob, dressed like a slob, but was solid in the ring. Sure he was known for a hardcore brawling style for the most part, but when given the chance he could put on a great match, even with style clashes. Take mindgames as an example. Do you think a "poor" worker with a hardcore background like Sandman could put on a near 5 star match with Michaels? Foley also brought the goods with his feud against Hunter, which MADE him and gave him that main event credibility he was desperately needing at the time. Foley was excellent on the mic, excellent with psychology and could bring it when put in main event matches. He has just as many 4 star matches as other greats and above average workers in the WWE, and he is supposed to be a talentless hack... I don't think so.

In case he's not being sarcastic.. he nearly killed himself and bumped heads I do believe with someone else, he also didn't get proper rotation. Kidman has one of the worst shooting stars I have ever seen, it pales in comparisons to Londons. As for this topic, I think London has way more charisma then Malenko ever did and he is far from a spot monkey. His match with Dragon at Epic Encounter is still praised today. I don't mind the guy being used as a lower card but what I don't get, since smackdown is so thin right now, why don't they just use some of the guys like London in normal cruiser matches on smackdown to help fill up the show and promote more of the roster? hell, the cruiserweight division doesn't need stupid angles like Jaqueline and stuff like that to get over, what sets it apart from everything else, is what the WWE seems to be forgetting.... the wrestling.

Yes, because coming from the most credible guy woudn't be good enough? Better get someone like Ryder to report that Bret Hart will be appearing on raw, TONIGHT!11 Anyways, Meltzer didn't report this. I havent seen any of this in the observer or his site.

5 (Bret, Austin, HHH, Angle, Lesnar) of the 10 winners (1993- 2002) became World Champions, and 2 of the losing finalists (Foley, Rock) also became champs. I think for the most part it was sucessful.

That is not true at all. Every sport has stars that draw, even hockey. If Mario Lemieux wasn't playing hockey, Pittsburgh would most likely fold, and they may even with him there. I recall attendence rising considerably when he played, and when he got injured, the crowds fell to smackdown house show levels. Granted, the team does suck, but they still sucked when Lemieux was in the lineup.

CBC does Hockey night in Canada, every saturday. The NHL has a contract with TSN that shows an average of 2-3 games a week on the network. CBC has Stanley Cup Final rights but TSN is the major network for hockey in Canada.

This is a work, wasn't it posted at the ROH site that if Jimmy lost his last match he would be done with ROH?
-
He hates when fans, or other people not in the business use that term.

Cenas "Deez nuts" never got over and he tried for like a month or so in his raps.
-
Nope, quite the opposite. For some unexplained reason Jake has always resented Jericho, claming he has always had a gods push and always failed. He thinks Jericho is overrated and not a good worker.

Dream Theater puts on good 70+ minute albums on a consistant basis.

I like Christian better but Edge will always get pushed over him because of his size.

Can you beat the game using the Princess without getting hit and without warping, while getting all the mushrooms in each level? That would probably be my greatest video game achievement. My second greatest was beating Contra 3 The Alien Wars for SNES on the Hardest mode without dying once. I've only did that once and haven't come close since.

Well, he is an ROH tag champ. What are the odds of TNA screwing ROH out of the pure AND tag title storylines
-
Does he have a contract with tna though? Only contracted talents were forced off of ROH shows. Either way I doubt it is Low ki.
-
True, but you have Benjamin and Christian on the raw side, and RVD is above them for the most part as they aren't exactly main eventers either.

I've been a telemarketer for four (yes 4) years and its not all that bad. Sure I wake up every morning and think about swallowing a bunch of pills and then as im shaving, I look at the shiny blade of my razor on my neck through the mirror... In all seriousness though, you can either do it or you can't. I have had a bunch of friends tease me before, and one time a buddy of mine got a telemarketing job.... 9 hours later he had a new found respect for me and what I do since he couldn't stand it. You have to be able to tolerate it and if you can do that you are pretty much set. You also have to be good at being a "phony". The hours suck and the pay can be good or bad depending on where you work, but it's not total hell. I just hate when telemarketers call me..

I'd add RVD to the list. I wish HBK would get shipped over to smackdown. What is there left for him to do on raw? Everything has been done with him and anything else would be repetitive. I think sending HBK (a heel version mind you) over to smackdown to feud with Eddy would be a win win situation. Raw can afford not to have him on their shows and Smackdown would get a fresh feud, great matches and some star power.

He's advertised for working a May ROH show.
