Best Film of the Year - The Dark Knight Television Series of the Year - The Shield

Dead Space

BEST OF: A. Performer Of The Year - the best overall combination of someone who can back it up in the ring but can entertain on promos. 1. Chris Jericho 2. Randy Orton 3. CM Punk B. Wrestler Of The Year - the wrestler who can best work a technical match. Though part of "working" is the ability to entertain a crowd (this is why Hulk Hogan can never be called a bad worker - bad mat technician yes, but the man could work a crowd), this is meant for those who may not be over with Casual Joe, but Hardcore Henry says he's the greatest of all time. 1. Evan Bourne 2. CM Punk 3. Chris Jericho C. Entertainer Of The Year - while everyone is eligable of course, the idea here is that just because all their matches are about * or less, you find them to be a guilty pleasure or hilarious or what not. I already know who the winner is but we'll go through the motions. 1. Santino Marella 2. The Great Khali - Who would have thought having this big oaf work the kiss cam would lead to some entertaining television? D. Tag-Team Of The Year: 1. Miz & Morrison 2. LAX 3. MCMGs E. PPV Of The Year: 1. Wrestlemania 24 2. Summerslam 3. No Way Out F. Match Of The Year: 1. Undertaker vs Edge - Hell in a Cell 2. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho - Ladder Match 3. Money in the Bank - Wrestlemania 24 G. Best Television Show Of The Year: 1. WWE RAW H. Smart-Mark Out Moment Of The Year: 1. CM Punk cashes in Money in the Bank - I haven't marked-out like that since Chris Benoit won the World Title at Wrestlemania 20. I. DVD Of The Year: 1. Triple H - King of Kings J. Feud Of The Year: 1. Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho K. Angle Of The Year: 1. Chris Jericho punching Rebecca Michaels. L. Non-Match / Segment Of The Year: 1. Ric Flair's sendoff, the night after Wrestlemania. About as classy as you can get in pro wrestling. M. Female Of The Year (either for wrestling ability or because you find them hot, I don't care): 1. Beth Phoenix 2. Gail Kim 3. Kelly Kelly N. Announcer / Color Commentator Of The Year (one or the other): 1. Matt Striker WORST OF: A. Least Entertaining Wrestler (Don't use the "Best Of" classifications, this is for the person who you hate to see in the ring because you find no redeeming entertainment value with them - it probably goes without saying they can't wrestle): 1. Braden Walker 2. Armando Estrada 3. Ricky Ortiz B. Worst Interviews/Promos/Non-wrestling Segments: 1. *Knock Knock* Who's there? Braden Walker......and I'm gonna knock your brains out! Honorable Mention: Evan Bourne - for sounding like a 10-year old boy when he talks. C. Worst Tag Team Of The Year: 1. I really have no decision here. D. Worst PPV Of The Year: 1. Unforgiven E. Worst Match Of The Year: 1. Triple H vs Vladamir Kozlov F. Worst Television Show Of The Year: 1. N/A G. 2008's "Embarrassed to be a Wrestling Fan" Moment: 1. The dancing segment from RAW a couple months ago. WHY NO "H" CATEGORY?!?!?!?! I. Worst / Most Disappointing DVD Of The Year: 1. N/A J. Worst Feud: 1. JBL vs Finlay K. Worst Angle: 1. Hornswoggle as Vince's "son", does this still count? L. Worst Announcer / Colour Commentator (one or the other): 1. Michael Cole M. Worst Non-Match/Segment Of The Year: 1. Again, the dancing segment from RAW. N. Worst Female Of The Year 1. Michelle McCool

If it makes you feel better, I've worked for Gamestop on 3 separate occasions: May-September 2005 - Game Adviser - What fun it is working 5-10 hours per week May-October 2006 - Senior Game Adviser - I left on good terms the first time, so when the position of Senior Game Adviser opened up, the manager called and asked if I wanted it. I agreed to take the job mainly due to the fact that it offered Full Medical Coverage. I guess the joke was on me when I found out they killed-off Full Medical in my district for anyone that wasn't an ASM or Store Manager the week before I started. February-May 2007 - Assistant Store Manager - This time it wasn't my decision to return to the company. I was working for Rhino Games when the buyout went through. I'm seeing a pattern with the month of May, here.

Gamestop - Not just douche bags, but I didn't realize being a "Game Advisor" gave you an incredible sense of self-worth and turned you into a cocky ass. Hot topic - You're so goth and hardcore working for a corporate store. American Eagle / Abercrombie / Hollister - Yea Firedog / Geek Squad members - Again, yea.

We're lucky if we get flurries once a year around these parts. Even at the first sign of a snow flurry, most of the schools and businesses around here will shut down, because we're unprepared or some shit. The deepest snow i've ever been in probably barely covered the soles of my shoes. We usually just get that bullshit freezing rain instead of actual snow.

Exactly. I believe it was the insane amount of Hindu squats that Benoit used to do that did so much damage to Davari. I remember a story about Davari noticing brown "specks" in his urine and going to a doctor about it. Turns out it was dead muscle from his legs, caused by doing so many of the squats, and it was his body's way of removing it. *DING DING DING* We have a winner! WWE probably figured they couldn't have both of their Diva champions using a similar finisher.

HOT! Yea, I'm going to miss her. When the Divas would do costume contests, I always got a laugh out of whatever Victoria would be wearing. It would usually be something silly like a Banana or Sumo Wrestyler outfit. She always seemed to have a good sense of humor.

I didn't think this would fit in any of the other Christmas-related topics, and I thought it would generate some interesting responses. For those of you that have Christmas Trees, I have a question. What are some of the strangest / most unique / random ornaments you have decorating it? I guess I'll start Here is some ugly yarn thing in the shape of a diamond. It's probably 4 inches or so, just in the diamond shaped part, not counting the strings hanging off the corners A small, 3-4 inch Christmas Story Leg Lamp ornament, and in the background, we have "Brokeback Santa". Here are 2 Sugar Bear plush Ornaments. I've had these since they were released as a pack-in with Sugar Smacks cereal in 1991. You squeeze them, and they play some polyphonic Christmas songs. One of them still works! The thing to the left is something my Mom made. It's a foil ball, wrapped in red ribbon with cloves stuck into it. This is a VERY fragile glass Batman Ornament. It's painted horribly, as you can see. It's Officially-Licensed by DC Comics. and last but not least...... Anyone else here have KEVIN NASH in your tree? My Mom bought this for be during the heyday of the nWo. Kevin Nash, carrying a sack of presents, climbing into a chimney......

It certainly didn't hurt that RVD was able to sell Regal's suplexes like death. Especially his half nelson suplex.

Hate to see her go. She's been one of my favorite Divas since her psycho days in 2002.

So, we have Hogan to thank for not having Big Show busting-out some ungodly Moonsaults. Good one Orange Goblin!

The only thing I remember from the Edge/Regal series is Edge eating Regal's Tiger Bomb from the ring apron to the floor.

I hope the brief cases are used similarly to how they were last year. I believe Petey Williams used his similar to a WWE performer cashing in Money in the Bank. I'd mark out something fierce is after a tough title defense, Sting is celebrating, and here comes Hernandez, brieface in hand and referee in tow. Sting puts up a decent effort, but finally eats a Border Toss (Sting has no business taking a move like that, but seems like the kind of person who would, to make Hernandez a star), and Hernandez gets the gold. Lance Storm has a story on his website about Sting taking a double-beel from Jindrak and O'Haire, over the top rope to the floor on a Nitro. He asked Sting why he would risk injury and take such a rough bump like that, and Sting told him "I just want to do whatever it takes to make these kids, stars".

Dream job or not, of all people, it's little Joey Styles that stands up to him. Well done!

That's called a God's eye Thanks for the info. I honestly had no idea what this was.

I didn't know Thomas Jane from a hole in the wall before I saw the 2004 Punisher. Now, he's one of my favorites. I even went to the theatres to see Deep Blue Sea, and didn't remember him being the shark wrangler from that film. That's two mentions of Deep Blue Sea in this thread. We should celebrate witht e video to Deepest, Bluest by LL Cool J.

Does Kurt still have his painkiller problems, or has he cleaned himself up? I'd love to see him back. I'd like to see what he can do with some of WWE's new guys.

I have a problem with a trailer (The new Punisher) that opens with one of the most cliched lines in history, "The battle between good and evil......has begun". Find something new for God's sake.

I got a lot of fun from Soul Calibur IV when it was released, but I haven't played it for some time now. Probably the most-played fighting game I have ever owned is Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo. My Dad and I used to play the hell out of that one. My Dad got so obsessive with it that sometimes, he would get home late from work and wake me up to come play him.

I'd go as far as to say "Where are you, Christmas?" (I think that's the title) by Faith Hill is still the only good thing to come out of that Jim Carrey, Grinch debacle.

I've watched a couple showings of the 2004 Punisher on FX this week. Fuck the haters, this is a fantastic comic movie. It's perfectly violent, as a Punisher film should be. It even has a good story. There is a slow build at first. Frank isn't just running around blindly wrecking people's shit until close to the end of the film. Sure, there's the scenes with Hank Heck, and the Russian, but it all builds nicely, and doesn't come to a head until he storms Howard Saint's complex. It's then that we see the Punisher shown for what he is meant to be, a remorseless, unrelenting killing machine. I've seen the film several times, but I still get chills watching the final scene of Frank's friends coming home to find the money he left for them, and Thomas Jane's monologue at the end of the film. Thomas Jane personifies The Punisher to me. I'll probably still see the new one, but it won't be the same without Jane. From what I've read on Wikipedia (reliable, eh?), Jane has said if he's offered the role of The Punisher, if they decide to make a third film, he will take it.

These guys did a great job with their remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre back in '03. I'm anxious to see what they do with this. I'm really excited.

If it makes you feel any better, Triple H is now currently leading with Big Dave in second place, followed by Cena.
