haws bah gawd

Journey's new singer isn't half bad. He even reminds me of Steve Perry more than Steve Ageri did. Guy even has the greasy Steve Perry haircut. I don't have much to look forward to as far as concerts go until the Fall. Seeing Kamelot/Edguy in September, and Nightwish/Sonata Artica in October.

I would enjoy a Guitar Hero: Power Metal. Throw some Kamelot, Nightwish, Excallion, Blind Guardian, Leaves Eyes, Serenity, After Forever, etc. I'm sure me and 10 other people would enjoy it...... Dragonforce made it on GH3, so there's a smidge of hope for some of the others.

I hate to reply to an old post, but this deserves pointing out. Did you hear the multiple "HOLY SHIT's" at the end of the video? You would think the guy just saw his first set of tits, or just got his first head. Hell no, he just watched another guy get 100% on TTFAF then went into a near-orgasm.

Behold Nintendo Cereal! BTW Downhome, I cant....thank.....you enough for reminding me of the Legend of Zelda rap.

The problem I have with makeshift tag teams is you don't see any "unity" between them. If you pair 2 random wrestlers and things work out, then give the team a name, give them a tag team finisher, SOMETHING to show their unity as a team. Look at Miz and Morrison in WWE. They've been teaming for a while now, and are the WWE Tag Champions, but you rarely see them make their entrance as a team. They will more often than not, come out seperately and use their own finishers to win the match. They are only a TEAM per-se because they wrestle on the same side of the ring, and happen to be co-holders of some title belts. If you're teaming up 2 random guys with the hope that they may amount to something, such as the New Age Outlaws, AMW, Hart Foundation, etc. give them something to show a little unity between them and not that they're just 2 random guys who happen to team up from time to time, or carry some belts around. I'm not against trying something new between 2 wrestlers that you really have no plans for otherwise, but use them as a team, and not as 2 guys.

I enjoyed how Al Snow dressed like he was from a different European nation every week; my favorite beeing "Greese". I love D-Lo's celebration after he beat HHH for the European Championship. You would've thought he just won the World Title or something.

RVD did what to your girlfriend? Thanks Mellow. I needed that laugh. I wonder why WWE changed his ring name after he wrestled as Matt Sydal last week? Same situation as Monty Brown, where they didnt want people Googling his name and finding information about TNA?

Thanks for ruining all of my good memories. What in the world happened to the poor guy? Drugs? Old Age?

Why are they awesome? Because they are two midcard heels? They have nothing in common, other than that they are both heels. It's pointless. You know who should be fueding with LAX? A proper tag team. I'll agree with that one. In the situation with Roode and Storm, they just paired 2 heels with nothing in common. TNA is starting to go the WWE route of creating random tag teams. Roode and Strorm teamed is about as pointless and random as Booker T all of a sudden teaming with Robert Roode just because he turned heel, thus disregarding the fact that Robert Roode roughed up Sharmell justa couple months prior.

Fucking GREAT to hear D-Lo has resigned with the company. I have a question concerning the chest protector gimmick/angle. Was he legit injured by Dan Severn in that match, thus forcing him to wear it or was it just a gimmick and nothing more? I always thought it was funny that it was OK for him to wear it, and even use it in a match, but if someone else took it and used it, (Val Venis getting DQ'ed at Summer Slam for giving Brown the Money Shot while wearing it) they would get DQ'ed. Can't wait for D-Lo to get back in the ring!

I read from Benoit leaving WCW, to the end of the book in Borders this afternoon. This is a fantastic book that I found extremely hard to put down. Which is why once I started reading about his last days in WCW, I couldn't stop reading until the end of the book. Some of the stories about what goes on backstage, and the days leading up to the murders are chilling not to mention depressing. Interesting that Bad News Brown warned Benoit about going to WWE, saying Vince McMahon is the devil. There are a handful of humorous things in the book such as how Vince McMahon is addicted to Tuna, (Titan Towers supposedly smells of fish so badly that even Japanese dignitaries rush through meetings as fast as they can), and Vince often conducts meetings with his staff while working out (in his office), or with his shirt off, grooming his body hair. One of the more saddening things I read was regarding the Eddy Guerrero tribute show. Benoit wrestled the main event against HHH and was literally beating the hell out of him as a way of dealing with the grief. However, as soon as Benoit got the roll-up pin, he broke down and cried in HHH's arms, because the match was the only thing keeping his anger and sadness in check. I can't wait to go back and buy this book so I can read the first part of it.

He'll probably use his standing moonsault where he tucks his knees in, or he'll use the Double Helix (springboard twisting senton). I could live with that.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Shelton/Sydal was fucking awesome for the time it was given. I'd like to see Sydal get a bit longer of a match in the future, but it was good for how short it was. Wonder if theres a "snowball's chance in Hell" of WWE letting him use the Cyclorama? He'll probably get stuck with Generic Moonsault #42-B as a finisher.

Yea, Draiman still makes monkey grunts in some of the songs. I downloaded the album last week and its pretty kick ass.

With Big Show's eye injury, I wouldn't give WWE any stupid ideas. Kane trying to "pluck" Big Show's eyeball out again? Damn, I forgot he screwed up his eye with the ring steps at ONS. These 2 never seemed to click unless there was a hardcore stipulation of some sort involved. Maybe they'll pull off a surprise at the PPV under normal rules.

Don't know why the hell I'm responding but I have horrible memories of this. It was during the Live Sex Celebration between he and Lita, when Lita was bent over and grinding against him. Alex Wright, Ken Shamrock, and Rene Dupree tend to suffer from making their entrance, and/or wrestling with a boner.

I've already said it in the ONS thread, but it bears repeating. Kane vs Big Show in Extreme Rules for the ECW Title in Summer 2006 kicked fucking ass, and is still one of the best ECW (WWE era) title matches. If they can perform again to even half of that, it will be a classic. I'm really looking forward to this. However, if the match IS NOT under Extreme Rules, we'll probably get more Kane vs Big Show "May 19th" suckage.

Yea, I remember that classic. I believe it took place just a couple days after Taker and HHH gave the lockerroom a speech about how no one except them knew how to work a match.

^^^OUCH!

MDM? Million Dollar Man

Yeah, Kane/Show might suck, but maybe they'll do the extreme rules stip to it, as Show really came across super strong in this hardcore environment, probably the first ECW from WWE match that reminded me of the old ECW from way back when. It was really good for what it was. I totally ordered this show last minute on a whim and so far, I'm already feeling like I'm getting my money's worth a bit. The first two matches were great. Show vs Kane in the Extreme Rules match for the ECW title (not too long after Show first won the ECW belt in 2006) was AWESOME. If they could do another match thats even half as good as that one, I will be extremely happy. That was one of my favorite WWE matches of 2006. It really looked like Show was finding his niche in Extreme Rules matches before they started to take a toll on his body. Even Extreme Rules vs Ric Flair was better than it had any right to be.

There was also the announcement of the 2008 Draft to take place in 4 weeks. The boundaries of the roster split is so vague now that this really doesnt seem to matter much. Unless they actually stick to having the wrestlers ONLY appear on their respective shows, then the draft is pointless.

Good song. Bought the album after hearing it on the radio several times. I thought Tonic would've amounted to more than they did though.

Sad part is he stole that line from the first Puppet Master movie. I tried sitting through House of the Dead on Sci-Fi one night. It wasn't one of those "so bad, it's good" movies like Plan 9 From Outerspace, it was so bad I couldn't sit through it. I love the scene where the character goes into a flashback of the previous 10 minutes of the movie while they're all in the middle of a gun fight with some zombies. The one redeeming factor of House of the Dead was Boll's overuse of the Matrix Camera during this gunfight. Every single character got their own bullet time zombie battling sequence. Sheer hilarity.
