What was Carlito's "finisher"?

Oh goody.

Thank god, they're finally turning Helms heel which is 2 years overdue. Here's hoping for the return of "Suga" Shane.

Another funny one from Foley's book was when Foley went for an elbow drop and missed by a mile, Foley was so embarrased and his friend tried to make him feel better by telling him a story about how a guy was in a battle royal a few years ago. Apparently, there were two guys left and one of them started posing to the crowd and apparantly some fan threw a box of popcorn to the back of his head. The wrestler thought it was the other wrestler then proceeded to take a bump over the top rope eliminating himself.

Yea, that happened during the very first Ultimate X match too where the belt fell twice and they tried to cover it up. I really just think they should do away with the big X and put something else up there like a briefcase holding a contract to an X title shot and use a steel cable to hold it up.

What the fuck did Batista say about AJ?

A heaping pile of crap and it succeeded. Oh come fucking on. Anybody who saw the previews for this shit knew it was gonna be a mindless action movie and of course people's expectations were gonna be low for it. They could have pulled it off well with some cool action and they couldn't even get that right. My expectations were really low and the movie ended up being LOWER than that. This whole "your expectation were too high" thing is such a cop out excuse. I enjoyed both Resident Evil movies for christ's sake but this movie was absolute crap.

Yea Wal-Mart are very lenient when it comes to returning stuff. They'll return anything no questions asked.

That was seriously the worst movie I've seen this year and is one of the worst movies I've seen in awhile. If I wasn't outnumbered by the majority that was my friends who were creaming their pants to see this pile of shit, I would never even attempted to bother.

In Foley's first book when some promoter called Mick a pussy for blowing a spot and Jeff Jarrett stood up for him telling the promoter to fuck off. The way Foley wrote it was much funnier.

What was up with WWE signing Brian Lawler last year? I thought Vince would never take him back.

Did Hogan and Flair have a singles match during Flair's WWF run in '92?

Here's a good one: During the end of '99, there was a strange man in the audience that would always hold up signs during the Godfather's and Val Venis' matches that said something along the lines of that what they stodd for (A pimp and a porn star) was immoral and whatever. The man would then distract the wrestlers and would eventually lose their respective matches because of it. I remember one incident in particular back in '99 that had Godfather vs Kurt Angle (Night after Survivor Series, Kurt's Raw debut) and the man showed up and flashed a signed in front of the Godfather which distracted him and Angle came from behind with the Angle Slam and won. What was this all going to lead to?

The Mordecai comparison makes A LOT of sense... OVW worker with a "supernatural" gimmick of the Undertaker nature who is bound to bomb and be shipped away ASAP.

Here's a really cool site with recaps of old Nitro and Thunders with pictures: http://members.tripod.com/~SexySting/home.html

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mordecai Part Deux...

What was Rey Mysterio doing from the time WCW went out of business to when WWE signed him in 2002?

You heard it here first folks, Holly > Mysterio and Booker in terms of star powa!!!!11

Barry Horowitz over Hakushi was a huge shock as Hakushi only had one loss before in the WWF and that was to Bret Hart. Bob Holly over Mantaur was shocking as well.

USA is a one show wonder. When Raw was on USA before the move to Spike, they didn't have any other interesting programs at that time either.

Yea and the abomination that was the nWo redux angle, the burying of RVD, Katie Vick, Bubba Ray being pushed as a singles wrestlers, Jackie Gayda "wrestling", and Jeff Hardy main eventing. You're right '02 was way better.

WTF? If UPN is USA's competition then why did they just air a commercial for UPN news?

2002 was FAR worse than 2003 in terms of matches and storylines.

The image of HBK drinking out of that coconut cup is hilarious.

Easily Paul London vs Akio from the Japan Velocity and no, I'm not kidding.
