here's one to strike disgust in the hearts of anyone from the UK: Phil Neville has SIX championships.

of the ones i've seen. bret vs hakushi iyh#1: ***3/4 owen vs hbk iyh#6: **** sasuke vs michinoku canadian stampede: ****1/4 rock vs foley valentines day massacre: ***3/4 jericho vs guerrero superbrawl 7: **** jericho vs juventud road wild 98: ***1/4

the gimmick infringement line? Michaels also used that on HHH back in like 98, when Shawn was the Corporate Commissioner and Hunter was leading DX.

edit: i fucked up.

yeah, bizzare is a British word, means wierd or unpredictable. how that means he's gonna win the Royal Rumble i have no idea.

Bret/Benoit wasn't about whether or not the moves made any sense, or whether it was a good match or an awful match it was two guys going out and putting on a show in tribute for their dead brother/friend and what he meant to everybody there. picking holes in that because Bret was past his prime makes you seem like a right cunt.

TBD is now confirmed as being ECW One Night Stand. and VEngeance has been switched with Great American Bash, with Vengeance now on Box Office like it was last year.

think back 11 years or so. 2 can't miss players who were pushed as THE future of the NBA, and its just not happened. Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway. oh, and there must have been no English people posting in here so far, otherwise they'd have surely mentioned - Paul Gascoigne.

rey could draw, definitely. he may be small but he absolutely does look like a star, its not like he's nunzio or someone. obviously if he wins the title from a Big Show or Undertaker that would be stupid, but he's shown he can live with people like Angle, Benoit and Eddie and be perceived as on the same level.

when would you have put the belt on him? heading into WM13 to drop it to Taker?

They had a forgotten 2/3 falls classic at Insurextion 01 that Benoit won in 2 straight falls- really good match shit yeah, i got the wrong year for InsureXtion, it was 2001 and not 2000.

Benoit and Angle have a lot too: WrestleMania 2000 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle v. Chris Jericho InsureXXtion 2000 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle (2/3 Falls) WrestleMania X-7 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle Backlash 2001 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle (30 Minute Ultimate Submissions Match) Judgement Day 2001 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle (2/3 Falls gimmick match) Unforgiven 2002 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle No Mercy 2002 - Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle v. Edge and Rey Misterio Rebellion 2002 - Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle v. Eddie and Chavo Guerrero Survivor Series 2002 - Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle v. Edge and Rey Misterio v. Eddie and Chavo Guerrero Royal Rumble 2003 - Chris Benoit v. Kurt Angle No Way Out 2003 - Chris Benoit and Brock Lesnar v. Kurt Angle, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas Survivor Series 2003 - Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, John Cena, HArdcore Holly and Bradshaw v. Brock Lesnar, The Big Show, A-Train, Matt Morgan and Nathan Jones.

Dortmund 97 Monaco 98 Leverkusen 02 Porto 04 the penalty shoot-outs in Italia 90, France 98 and Euro 96. Ayrton Senna's death at Imola 94. The staged Ferrari finishes at Austria and USA in 2002.

white boys pretending to be black is extremely unpopular in england, cos lots of scummy teenage hooligans dress/talk/act like that, whch Cena is basically representing. not surprised he got booed.

is that figure a worldwide buyrate? cos the UK had to pay for WM this year for the first time, and WWE were aiming for at least 100,000 buys from the UK alone, which would explain partly why it drew such a big number.

well honest-ish. if the religion stuff is legit i can't see him putting in a load of lies like the Hogan book.

and in the case of when Steve Austin was the world champ, why would JR constantly be talking about how Austin is usually the first person at the arena and the guy who's there all day when every week we'd see him arrive halfway through the show or later?

Shawn also said in same interview that he's in the process of writing a book, which if he's honest should be fucking awesome.

i liked Race's book, just finished reading it. it touches on a lot of the major events of his career, but it does skim through most things without going into really extensive detail, so if you were around during Race's wrestling career its probably all stuff that you already know.

if Dibiase had won at WMIV, they could've then built up to Hogan/Dibiase for the title at the first SummerSlam later that year - which would've been huge given Dibiase orchestrated the twin ref thing which screwed Hogan out of the title in the first place, with Hogan wininng the belt. Macho would get insanely jealous that he got all the way to the tournament final yet got passed over for a title shot, and then even more jealous that Hogan eliminates him from the Rumble and walks out of a tag match to look after Liz, then Macho finally snaps and that brings us to Mania V. same storyline for Mega Powers Explode, same main event of WrestleMania, just that Macho didn't go in as champion.

source?

we'll see The Hardy Boyz v. The New Age Outlaws in TNA before the end of the year. for him it sucks that he's lost a job that paid him real well, but to be honest he wasn't doing anything and hadn't been on TV in 6 months so personally as a fan it has no effect on me whatsoever.

HHH could win 200 world titles and he'll still never be on the same level as Ric Flair.

that was brillaint. it wasn't cheering for both men, it was fans of the other guy booing both men. every single move in that match got booed, LOUDLY.
