    Didn't someone around here suggest that JM's corkscrew neckbreaker be called "Moonlight Drive" when he first debuted the gimmick?

     

    That would be me!

     

    Also, he should name his finisher the "Moonlight Drive".

     

    They thought it was too gimmicky and mid-carderish so they renamed him John Morrison because Nitro looks a lot like Jim Morrison of The Doors.

     

    Now all they have to do is rename his finisher "The Moonlight Drive".

    I'll be honest, I don't mind 3DD's self titled debut at all. "Loser" was a nice track as was "Not Enough". I haven't really listened to much past that other than they seem to be the official band for the US Army.

     

    Oh and Staind's first album (technically their second) wasn't that bad and Break The Cycle isn't bad when you first listen to it either, I agree that radio (and other forms of media) killed it but that's what happens to all popular shit. It's funny how every first single off the Staind albums following BTC sounded exactly like "It's Been Awhile".

    You should probably also gives this band a listen: Between The Buried & Me.

     

    Their music covers a bunch of genres but they're also heavily influenced by Sepultura, Pantera and 80's Metallica. I'd say they're one of the best bands going today. Their latest album "Colors" is awesome as is their album before that, "Alaska". They get a lot of unwarranted flack because they just so happen to be on the same record label as Taking Back Sunday.

    How much do you think his personal problems have affected his career? A lot. Hall has had a lot of second chances in the past and blew them all. He had the nWo revival thing which he fucked up and had THREE different stints in TNA in which he fucked up everytime. I think I can say his last run with TNA was his last shot in the wrestling spotlight.

     

    Do you think Hall was ever main event material? I definatley could have saw him as a main eventer in the mid 90's since he was crazy over in the WWF but by the time he got to WCW, he became too much of a stable and tag worker to be taken seriously as a legitimate world title threat. I also think Hall was a much better worker at this time than most people give credit for.

     

    What effect has his membership in The Kliq had on his career and his legacy? Well the Kliq was definatley one of the reasons why he was still pushed in the spotlight all the way until the end of his WWF run but at the same time like I said before, Hall was crazy over so it's not like he didn't deserve the spot.

     

    What were some of Hall's best matches? Ladder matches with Shawn Michaels and IC title matches with Diesel and Jarrett. I agree that he had no memorable matches in WCW though his match with Goldberg the night he won the world title was decent.

     

    Some of the most memorable angles he was involved in? The fake IC title fued with HBK, the stuff with 123 Kid, Outsiders, nWo and although not in a good way, the Scott Hall is an alcoholic angle.

     

    What was his better run; in WCW with the nWo or in WWF as Razor Ramon? Workrate wise, definatley his stuff in WWF but as far as overall entertainment and character, definatley his run with the Nwo and Nash in WCW.

     

    Providing that he's sober, do you think Hall could still serve a purpose for WWE or TNA, be it in a wrestling or non-wrestling capacity? Anything more than a one-shot deal in WWE would be pushing it. The guy has demons he'll most likley never escape and I'm pretty sure TNA will never take him back again.

     

    Do you think Hall has had a lasting impact on the business? Sort of. He had a certain charisma to him with his facial expressions and mannerisms that certain wrestlers try to capture and the cockiness with his character even as a face is influential too.

    Any alternative rock band that came out during the era that STP broke out in was labeled a Nirvana and/or Pearl Jam rip-off so that arguement never held any ground to me.

     

    But yea, always been a fan of STP and I wish I still had my old cell phone which had an awesome polyphonic ringtone of "Sex Type Thing".

    It's pretty hard to pretend the guy never existed. What he did was terrible and I don't respect him as a person despite what every wrestler on the planet will tell you but it's kind of hard to ignore what he did in the ring. If you were to make a list of the top 10 WWE matches of the past decade, Benoit will most likely be in a few of those slots. I'm not saying that as a justification of his heinous doings but despite what happened, it's not like you can just revoke everything he ever accomplished. The man was an excellent performer, killer or not. A lot of people are mistaking the people trying to say this as a justification of what he did or how great of a person he still is when it's really no on both accounts. Really, you can't take away the fact that he was good at what did or bash people who still enjoy vs. Angle at Rumble '03 or vs HHH and HBK at WMXX because HE KILLED HIS FAMILY~~~~~!

    My best friend has been with his girlfriend for two years and he's 21. She treats him like a child and he has grown to hate her, well they hate each other... yet neither one can break up. They're going to get married in 4 months and probably end up with a few kids and still hate each other. Sucks when people don't think they can do better or they need someone just to have meaning in their life.

     

    I have a friend who's exactly the same way. He's 22 and has been with the same girl from about 6 years and he gets so frustrated when he's around her and constantly talks about how much he hates her.

     

    I really can't see myself settling down until my 30's but that's only because I'm not with anyone and have never been in a long term relationship so I haven't really experienced "love". If I meet the right person tomorrow, that can all change.
