Looks like Van Dam was supposed to hold on but he went too far to pretend it didn't happen.

And look what that order has left us with. Some anarchist/socialist ideals may sound completely impractical but in the 18th century you could have argued that ending slavery was impractical. And that's precisely what conservatives argued at the time, while defending the rights of the powerful to maintain their power and dominance. Domination can only be maintained through violence - remove this and power collapses, leaving all as equals. I like the progress humanity has made so far, in the last hundred years especially we have made tremendous progress and dismantled a great deal of oppression, but we have a long way to go to realizing an egalitarian society. How many people here would disagree in principle with the idea that society should be organized along egalitarian lines? It depends on your ideal model of society. The concept of liberalism is that each person in society enjoys equal opportunity. The question is how far you go to ensure that equality. Personally, I do not see how you can remove violence from the equation. Create a classless society without war, and someone is bound to take advantage of it and try to assume power. Want to stop them? What right do you have to tell an equal what he can and can not do? The logic of the idea falls flat on its face. Beyond that and you have the experience that every civilized nation in the world has progressed from an egalitarian society. Even the third-world, with tribes and nomadic peoples, have leaders and rituals that add up to an experience surprisingly similar to the western world. And beyond all that, a society in dire straits would produce some civil unrest desiring a change. There is NO serious underlying current desiring to overthrow our government.

Just a reminder that the draft starts in 15 minutes.

I actually had this thought today at work. Wrestlemania V from a modern perspective. Hogan vs. Savage Rude vs. Warrior Demolition vs. Powers of Pain/Fuji The three title matches, no need to change these around. Ted Dibiase/Haku/Andre the Giant/Brainbusters vs. Brutus Beefcake/Hercules/Jake Roberts/Strike Force (w/ Donald Trump) The Battle of the Millionaires! Why not? The show's at Trump Plaza, you've got Ted Dibiase. This combines four matches into one bigger match. You can still run the Strike Force split. This also allows an easy way to segue into the DiBiase/Roberts feud. Mr. Perfect vs. The Blue Blazer vs. The Hart Foundation vs. Honky Tonk Man vs. Greg Valentine (Money In the Bank) Another way to add combine two matches into one. This match would elevate Mr. Perfect into a future title match. The idea that popped into my head is for Mr. Perfect to show up at the end of No Holds Barred to challenge Hogan. Whether or not that's a good idea is debatable. It is too fun an idea to let pass. Jim Duggan vs. Bad News Brown (Falls Count Anywhere) This one ended in a double count-out. This time, let's just let it ride. Dino Bravo vs. Ronnie Garvin The Bushwackers vs. The Rougeaus The Rockers vs. The Twin Towers No real need to change these matches around. Terry Taylor/Gorilla Monsoon vs. Brooklyn Brawler/Bobby Heenan On Prime Time Wrestling, Brawler hit Taylor with a barstool and hit Monsoon as well. Here, the Monsoon/Heenan sniping comes to a head in the ring. Monsoon would be 52-53 at this point and still able to perform a few token spots. We've reduced a 14 match show to a 10 match show and hopefully a hair under three hours. Some excitement has been added to the matches and some offer something different to the experience.

An anarcho-socialism society might sound ideal, on paper. The fact is that we started out with such societies. Society evolved into monarchies, republics, democracies etcetera for the simple reason that such society is not feasible on a large scale. The natural process of a lawless society is to form order.

Sullivan/Woman were well known and linked as I recall, so the background was known to wrestling fans at the time. As for the angle, a person in Sullivan's position would want to kick the living shit out of anyone remotely connected to the situation.

Open again, unless/until a mod can give an explanation.

1910 Philadelphia Athletics (Harley Quinn) vs. 1976 Cincinnati Reds (Imarkout4eldandy) '10 Athletics 4, '76 Reds 3 WP: Harry Krause (1-0) LP: Rawley Eastwick (0-1) Trailing 3-1 in the 8th, the A's rallied for two runs. Eddie Collins tripled in a run, and scored on Frank Baker's squeeze bunt. The A's scored the winning run on an RBI single from Ira Thomas. For the record, Frank Baker did not receive the nickname "Home Run" until the 1911 World Series. '76 Reds 10, '10 Athletics 1 WP: Gary Nolan (2-0) LP: Eddie Plank (1-2) The Reds took a 5-1 lead into the ninth and teed off relief pitcher Tommy Atkins for five more runs. Joe Morgan collected four RBIs in the victory. '10 Athletics 10, '76 Reds 2 WP: Jack Coombs (2-1) LP: Jack Billingham (0-2) Harry Davis collected four RBIs and Jack Lapp added two of his own in a blowout victory. '76 Reds 4, '10 Athletics 3 WP: Pat Zachry (3-0) LP: Chief Bender (2-1) Sv: Rawley Eastwick (3) Tony Perez's two-run double in the fourth gave the Reds the lead, which they never relinquished. '76 Reds 8, '10 Athletics 2 WP: Fred Norman (1-1) LP: Cy Morgan (0-1) Johnny Bench collected four RBIs, two on a double and two on a home run. '76 Reds 6, '10 Athletics 1 WP: Gary Nolan (3-0) LP: Eddie Plank (1-3) Tony Perez collected three RBIs and Johnny Bench added two of his own. Leading 3-0 in the seventh, the Reds put this game out of reach with a hit batsmen and two straight hits with the bases loaded in the seventh. '76 Reds win series 4-2 A solid performance from the '76 Reds. They are a dangerous team because their style adapts well to practically any baseball environment. The Reds advance to the quarterfinals. Up Next: '06 Twins vs. '98 Astros

The final four is where the sensible side of the TSM community unites to ensure a TRUE leader wins this tournament. I'd just like to point out that I'm on my way to the Elite 8, after not even making this tournament last year!

There is no minimum requirement available. It doesn't matter in any case. A person could lock up WHIP and ERA yes, but they would punt wins, saves and strikeouts, receiving the minimum points in three categories. A person could not possibly win the league under those conditions.

They did Legion of Doom.

1972 Oakland Athletics (Porter) vs. 1994 Montreal Expos (CanadianChris) '94 Expos 8, '72 Athletics 5 WP: Jeff Fassero (1-1) LP: Blue Moon Odom (1-1) Sv: John Wetteland (3) Larry Walker hit two home runs and five RBIs as the Expos grabbed an 8-1 lead. The Expos battled back to bring the tying run to the plate in the ninth, but Reggie Jackson struck out and Mike Epstein flied to center to end the game. '94 Expos 6, '72 Athletics 4 WP: Tim Scott (1-0) LP: Catfish Hunter (0-1) Sv: John Wetteland (4) Darren Fletcher hit two home runs and drove in three RBIs. His two-run home run in the fourth capped a four run inning. Marquis Grissom gave the Expos the lead in the seventh on a sacrifice fly. '94 Expos 2, '72 Athletics 0 (10 Innings) WP: Jeff Shaw (1-0) LP: Bob Locker (0-1) Sv: John Wetteland (5) Marquis Grissom and Cliff Floyd hit back-to-back RBI singles in the top of the tenth inning to give the Expos the lead. '72 Athletics 1, '94 Expos 0 WP: Vida Blue (2-0) LP: Ken Hill (2-1) Sv: Rollie Fingers (3) Angel Manguel's RBI single with two outs in the eighth inning scored the only run of the game. '94 Expos 8, '72 Athletics 1 WP: Jeff Fassero (2-1) LP: Rollie Fingers (0-1) This game was not a blowout. The Expos held a 1-0 lead in the eighth when Dave Duncan tied the game with a solo home run. Rollie Fingers collapsed in the ninth, allowing the go-ahead run to score on Moises Alou's RBI single and then the floodgates opened on a three-run home run by Darren Fletcher. The Expos scored three more runs in the inning. 1994 Expos win series 4-1 This series turned into a pitchers' battle once it switched to Oakland for games 3-5. In the 106 year history of the American League, 1972 ranks 105th in terms of runs per game. In any case, the '94 Expos now advance to play the 2001 Mariners. Up Next: '10 A's vs. '76 Reds

WCW you have the emergence of Bill Goldberg at least.

Hell, they had Terry Gordy ten years ago and didn't bother using HIS real name. (The Executioner in late '96, for those who aren't familiar.)

2001 Seattle Mariners (Criplercrosface9) vs. 2003 Atlanta Braves (Fokai) '01 Mariners 5, '03 Braves 4 WP: Joel Pineiro (1-0) LP: John Smoltz (0-1) Gary Sheffield hit a two-run home run in the first to give the Braves the lead.

Chipper Jones hit an RBI double in the top of the sixth, and John Olerud countered with an RBI single in the bottom of the inning. Leading 4-2 in the ninth, John Smoltz walked John Olerud to lead off an inning. Olerud advanced to second on Jay Buhner's groundout and scored on Dan Wilson's single, cutting the lead to 4-3. Smoltz threw two wild pitches to advance Wilson to third, and Wilson scored on Ichiro's single. Ichiro stole second and scored on Carlos Guillen's single to win the game. '01 Mariners 8, '03 Braves 6 WP: Jeff Nelson (1-0) LP: Darren Holmes (0-2) Sv: Kazuhiro Sasaki (2) The Mariners scored four in the first inning, capped by a two-run double off the bat of Mark McLemore.

Czech, your Cubs gave Neifi Perez 33 starts at second last year. Neifi got another 13 starts at shortstop and Cedeno got 130 starts there. DeRosa/Izturis aren't stars, but they are huge improvements.

The school system is a trust set up by the community. Teachers have authority over students because they are given that authority by proxy from the parents. Is the parent/child system also supposed to be an equal relationship? Of course not. Proposing that children have an equal relationship with their educators assumes a naive world view that simply does not exist in the real world. Even assuming kids desired to learn, they are for the most part immature and make bad decisions in life.

As far as the statistics being a harbinger of future production, no. What it does mean however is that Pence is playing his way onto the roster, and if he is ready it would be a boost for a team that received poor production from their outfield last season. Pence is facing an uphill battle to get on the roster for opening day however, as he is not yet on the 40 man roster.

They ran a mini-program on a Raw before the 1995 Royal Rumble. Shatner appeared on the King's Court, and they later held a match where Shatner stood in Bret Hart's corner against Jeff Jarrett.

For similar matchups, there is a possibility the 1976 Reds and 1984 Tigers would meet in the finals, an All-Sparky Anderson matchup.

If you're referring to that 1 for 12, you can throw that out the window entirely. If you go through a player's gamelogs, you will see several occasions when he performed poorly over the course of a three game series. It does not mean much in the long term. The thing about statistics is that the more data you have, the better. Even 200 at bats is not quite reliable. If you have a guy in his prime, the best thing to look at is career numbers.

I believe so, and I'm stunned I haven't made that connection.
