haws bah gawd

Sid Tyson Tomko Mordecai Nathan Jones

I have no problems with the guy. He's not TOO bad in the ring (hes not as bad as Erik Watts, give the guy credit), and seems to be fairly powerful. I always liked when he would botch his running Big Boot and fall on his ass. I felt it gave the move a thrusting effect (like he hit the opponent so hard, he lost his footing), and made the impact look a lot more fierce. I think with the right booking, he could easily be a mid to upper-mid carder. Also, it would be interesting to see him pushed as a face.

TRUSTcompany has a fairly faithful cover of Rock the Casbah on their latest album.

My viewing of wrestling primarily dates back to the mid 80's: Most Loved - Easily Hogan 1984-1991, followed very closely by Stone Cold Steve Austin Most Hated - For that one night, BATB 1996, Hulk Hogan. People wanted his head on a stick for that heel turn. That was some insane heel heat.

I didnt notice if this was mentioned, but why WOULDNT Vince put the title on Hassan? Just because he did a highly controversial terrorist angle with the Undertaker a couple weeks ago? Let's not forget WWE put the title on JBL just a few short weeks after he pulled his cheap-heat Nazi Bullshit in Germany. I wouldnt put anything past Vince and co.

I know the G-1 Galvatron Toy could transform between the robot form, as well as the tripod-cannon, and a laser pistol. I know he didnt transform into the pistol in the American G-1 cartoon, but did he ever assume the form in the japanese episodes that followed? I hope Unicron makes an appearance in this film, or at least in a possible sequel a few years down the line. I always was a fan of him. He was neither Decepticon or Autobot, but something far more omnipotent and powerful than either team. I liked how the G-1 comics portrayed him as a dark god, pretty much the Satan of the Transformers Universe. As for Chris Latta, he provided the voice of Mr. Burns on the Simpsons for a while, and also appearared on Married with Children as a character named Roger during the No Ma'am episodes.

You have to wonder what WWE has in mind for these guys once this feud ends? The way its looking now is Rey Jr. gets a decisive ppv (possibly Summerslam) win over Eddy Guerrero, and moves on to other things. Rey will flounder around the upper mid card, then probably work the cruiserweight division again to give Paul London a little help against the Mexicools. This leaves Eddy, who will apparently be the father of Rey's son, to do absolutely nothing and be random heel #42-B on Smackdown until the writers come up with another shitty storyline to stick him in.

I remember those "Monster Moment" clips with Burchill that got passed around on here last year. That guy was a beast, and could fly just as good as any cruiserweight Ive ever seen. You gotta love the C-4 (standing Spanish Fly)!

I what I think I remember being 1997, at the time, Davey Boy pulled off one of the most impressive feats of strength I had ever seen. He did his signature standing vertical suplex on Vader, and held him up for what seemed like at least 10-15 seconds. AT the time, I wasnt used to seeing guys like the Big Show getting F-U'ed and F-5'ed, so that was quite a shock.

I about shit a brick when Bischoff showed up on RAW to become the GM. If I remember correctly, Booker T was doing something backstage, he turned around and got this look on his face like he had just seem a ghost. He then asked something on the lines of "What the hell are you doing here?". Then the camera panned over to show Eric fucking Bischoff. It toook me a second or two to remember who it was because I hadn't seen him or a couple years, but that was quite shocking.

I've got a great one. Many Summers ago when WWF was just starting up the Kane angle, Undertaker "came out and told the truth" about what happened to Kane. He did his promo in a dark lockeroom about how a fire broke out in the funeral home, but Kane and his parents didnt make it out. Well anyways, my cousin Judy was watching with me that night, and she actually started crying because of the tragedy that happened to the Undertakers family. That brings me much laughter to this day.

1 - Sylvain Grenier 2 - Hardcore Holly 3 - Torrie Wilson 4 - Funaki 5 - Tomko Best Bet - Scotty 2 Hotty Phone Avoider - Whichever Basham wasnt sent to RAW

I remember reading long ago, in '03, that Akio (Jimmy Yang at the time) had pretty much burnt all his bridges in TNA. Hopefully the Jarretts will give him another chance. That guy can go!

RVD - Hands-Down the most over guy in WWE during the Invasion, and he was supposed to be a heel. Above-average on the mic, and can bump like a madman. Myself, and 99% of the WWE fans love this guy. A 3-4 month title reign, just as an experiement would be great. I think with the right push, and if properly booked, Val Venis could become a strong main-eventer. Just drop the silly pornstar gimmick, and let him go by his real name. Just book him better than he was in 2003. He can wrestle very well, and can put on a good match with just about anyone.

Not to sound odd, or like a complete tool, but it would be one of the biggest honors ever for Hogan to even acknowledge my presense. I'm sure he is well aware of what a hottie his daughter is turning into, and is simply being nothing more than an overprotective father. Afterall, as far as I know, she is his only daughter, so Im sure hes taking the extra steps to make sure nothing happens to her, and would have an extremely difficult time "letting go". Im sure most fathers would act the same way (having a remote killswitch in their daughter's car, teaching her matial arts, etc.) if they had the money that Hogan does,

That Basham/Jindrak match was excellent. I loved Basham working Jindrak's knee by slamming him so that his legs landed across the ring ropes. Very unique, and a great use of his environment as a weapon. I also loved the selling of the left hook. The Basham landed in a heap on the floor like he had been shot. Who would've thought Jindrak could wrestle that well?

When he was in the nWo, did he really do anything worth boo'ing? I seem to remember his schtick in the group lasting a little over a month, and him rarely getting boo'ed. Perhaps I am wrong though.

tekcop, I think the main reason I like the match so much is because of AJ's selling. He ends up bumping on his head for nearly everything Hurricane throws at him, and thats what at least IMO makes the match fun to watch.

I was at a Raw/Jakked taping in Greenville, SC in January 2002. The main event of Jakked was Hurricane vs a very young (with hardly any muscle-tone) AJ Styles. AJ sold the Hurricane's offense like it was death itself, and even got in a good bit of his own offense. The finish was also pretty intense because I though I was about to see one of the old WCW cruiserweights pick up a win over the Hurricane. Hurricane went for his (current, at the time) finisher, The Eye of the Hurricane, which AJ countered then drilled him with a sweet superkick that would make HBK blush. AJ goes up top and attempts one of the best Shooting Star Presses I have seen, even to this day, but misses. Hurricane seemingly says fuck this, and nails the Vertebreaker for the pin. This match is a hair over 5 minutes long and is nothing short of fantastic. It is floating around all over the torrent and file sharing networks. I highly recommend tracking it down.

I have very fond memories of Akio's debut WWE match (still wrestling as Jimmy Yang) on Sunday Night Heat against Tommy Dreamer. The match was only about 5 minutes long, but they really tore the house down. The finish was Akio taking a DDT which he sold by standing on his head for about 5 seconds. GREAT match.

Im gonna go with Battletoads. You need the reflexes of a god to get past the Hypertunnel. I got that game as a kid and never ever made it past there, though I could get about half way through before the walls started moving ridiculously fast. Other games so hard that all the fun is taken out of them are: Ninja Gaiden (X-Box) Devil May Cry 3 - Seriously, fuck this game. WHen the easy mode on your game is harder than God of War's God difficulty, you have problems. X-Men and Spider-Man: Arcade's Revenge Terminator II Arcade Game for SNES - IMPOSSIBLE to get past the level where you escort John Connor's pickup truck to Skynet. No matter what I did, the truck always exploded.

Lesnar was easy for me to buy as a Champion. Sure, I felt like he got the belt a little too early (4 short months after his debut), but his size and ability made it easy for me to accept him. I've never been able to buy Orton as a threat to anyone. Just look at the guy. He's a little over 6 feet tall, and has hardly any bulk to him. He just screams "angry skinny man" at me. Aside from his above-average mic skills, he makes me think of a taller Spike Dudley. When HHH destroyed him at the 05 Rumble, it was one of the very few times I've wanted HHH to win a match in a long long time.

*Edited: I see that others are adding results of the cards to their posts, so I'll do the same* Heaven: COmmentary provided by Mike Tenay. Josh Matthews and Bobby Heenan HOT OPENER~! Kurt Angle vs Chris Benoit vs Dynamite Kid - Chris Benoit picks up the pin at 25:42 after catching Kurt Angle with the flying headbutt immediately after he folds Dynamite in half (in one of Dynamite's famous head-dropping spots) with a backdrop-driver. Paul London vs Ultimo Dragon - Dragon pins Lodon with an Asai DDT from the top rope at 15:20 after he crotches London onto the turnbuckle while attempting his London Calling. Stone Cold vs Sandman (ECW Rules) - A wild brawl ends at 17:25 with Austin spitting a mouthfull of beer into Sandman's face then giving him the Stunner. 1999-2000 HHH vs a younger Ric Flair - Ric Flair counters a Pedigree attempt by pulling HHH's legs from under him, then locks him in the Figure-Four for the clean tap-out at 20:01 Shelton Benjamin vs RVD (MUST be allowed to go balls-out) - One of the finest spot-fests ever witnessed ends with Shelton eating a Van Terminator after 25+ minutes of relentless back and forth action. AJ Styles vs Rey Mysterio - AJ counters the West Coast Pop into the Styles Clash in mid flip (only Rey doesnt nearly felate himself ala Kazarian) for the pin at 10:34. Brock Lesnar vs 1996 Yokozuna (Just for the visual of Yokozuna taking the F-5) - This lasts under 5 minutes but highlights are Yokozuna taking a German Suplex, running Powerslam out of the corner, and finally Brock muscling the 600+ lb Sumo into the F-5 for the pinfall. A healthy Undertaker (Ministry Gimmick) vs Raven vs Sting (Crow Gimmick) (Raven's Rules) - Sting drills Raven with the Scorpion Deathdrop then does the impossible and makes the Undertaker submit to the Scorpion Deathlock at 25:24. Hell: Commentary provided by JR and Tony Shivone (not spelled correctly and dont give a shit about how its properly spelled) Lex Luger vs Billy Gunn - JR spends the first 5 minutes of the match hyping up Billy Gunn as the finest pure athlete ever to walk the planet. Shivone repeatedly states that this is the greatest and most important night in the history of the sport, and this may very well be the greatest match ever, even though neither man has done anything except stand there and flex. After approximately 3 hours of throwing right hands and flying forearms, 75% of which miss completely, Billy Gunn wins the match with the Famasser. Erik Watts vs Greg Gagne vs Randy Orton vs Jeff Jarrett (the battle of the overpushed Daddy's boys) - All 4 guys spend the first 10 minutes of the match seeing who can throw a better dropkick. All 4 agree it may be the one thing they can actually do right. Per Just John's request, David Flair runs in, and just cant pull off the dropkick, thus is forced to take the finishing move of the other 4 men. The original 4 competitors proceed to decide to be friends, and go out for beers. They then shake hands, ending the match at a draw at 11:00. Giant Gonzales vs The Giant Silva 1 hour iron man match - JR spends the entire match giving HHH a verbal blowjob for no reason, and completely ignoring the scientific exhibition unfolding before him. Shivone takes back his previous claim and states that THIS is the greatest match ever. Giant Gonzales simply stands there with his hand over the face of Silva, "choking" him for the first 55 minutes of the match before SIlva finally breaks free and slams GOnzales to the mat with a chokeslam to pick up the one nad only pinfall of this ***** classic. Lenny and Lodi vs Billy (pulling double duty) and Chuck vs The Heart Throbs - All 3 teams take turns seeing how much homosexual innuendo they can fit into the match. The one bright spot of this match is Lodi using the rolling piledrivers that he used on a Thunder in 2000. Shivone once again contradicts himself and proclaims this to be the most pivital moment in history, and a match that will change the sport forever. Billy Gunn dislocates his shoulder, and GLAAD protests, causing the match to end after a grueling 35 minutes of non stop fun times. Sid vs Kevin Nash vs 2002-2003 HHH - While making his entrance, Nash manages to tear both quads, blow out his knees, seperate his elbow, and tear his sack. We are left with what is sure to be one for the ages, Sid vs HHH. After a 45 minute punch-fest, Sid leaps from the middle rope, going for his death move, the flying big boot. He lands on his foot ackwardly, causing his leg to snap in 5 different places, and his sack to tear. While standing there ackwardly, HHH decides the match must go on, and while walking over to make the pin on Sid, manages to re-tear his quad, tear his other quad, pinch his sciatic nerve, and yes, tear his sack. Shivone has a heart attack proclaiming this to be the most important night in wrestling history, and quite possibly, the finest technical bout ever witnessed by human eyes. MAIN EVENT: Jeff Jarrett (2003 TNA Dragon Slayer Gimmick) vs 2004 HHH (magically back from the quad injuries, pinched nerve, and torn sack, because hes passionate for the business like that) - The match is spent with each competitor seeing who can no-sell for the other for the longest. Jarrett takes approximately 157 Pedigrees, 1 of which was through 3 flaming, tack-covered tables, 10 Ric Flair ballshots, and 15 chair shots. However, Jarrett easily kicks out at 1, and plants HHH with a single Stroke for the pinfall. Shivone, revived by an oxygen tank and nearly catatonic, finds it in himself to proclaim this the greatest match of the most important night in wrestling history.

I've always thought that Step Up by Drowning Pool would fit Stone Cold perfectly. Just add the odligatory shattering glass to the beginning, change the order of the verses and chrous a bit, and its perfect. Here is a quick mock-up I made. The audio quality is shit because Im on dial-up, so I turned down the bitrate so I wouldnt be sitting here forever waiting for it to upload. I think a more-polished version of this would really suit Stone Cold. http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2ZNRJVE...N115IANEYI7EAA5

I think the version of the Pegiree in the avatar is just a botch. From what I've always read, HHH's opponent thought he was going for a double-underhook suplex, so he jumped a little higher than he should have to complete the flip, however, HHH ended up spiking him with the stiffest Pedigree ever. Up until 2000, I remember HHH always keeping his opponents arms hooked throughout the drop of the move, making it look that much sicker and stiffer. However, I think in mid 2000 (to help prevent the risk of injury) when he was doing his world title feud with the Rock, he changed the move to where he released his opponents arms in mid-jump so that they could cushion the impact.
