Had to post this. From FJM: I know it's kind of lame to still be making fun of Dusty but it's hilarious that he actually said this in the 1st inning of the first game he's broadcasting for ESPN. Should be a fun season.

Ah, Missed it.

well that was quick

Taker bails

Laura Prepon on WWE TV!

Looking at that Nitro in retrospect, the Horseman stuff was *so* bad in late 96. They were made to look like total goofs. Especially Benoit. The NWO came off so much cooler and hipper. And to think people were praising this angle at the time because Benoit was actually getting consistent air time and had a a somewhat linear storyline.

Vince pins him

All the Hollywood big wigs who keep calling Nancy Meyers a "genius" really need to see "What Women Want". What an utter piece of garbage. Edit: Wrong thread

I would be on easy street in my pool if I hadn't picked A & M. Nailed the other 3.

I can't believe how poorly "Reign Over Me" did. Sandler will never do another drama

Peyton was awesome on SNL last night. I especially liked the coffee on the porch sketch, Forte as the basketball coach and "Mitch, throw the boulder!!!" United Way was the best though

Foley and the Meros used to be good friends but Mick flipped out when he discovered that Mero got a much bigger contract from the WWF. He also said that Rena Mero used to be a real sweet girl (their kids were friends IIRC) but became arrogant and conceited when she received her monster push in 1998.

I've mentioned this before but when I discovered the IWC in 1997 the first big realization I had was that there was "good" wrestling and "bad" wrestling. I really never looked at wrestling from a quality perspective, but more from a competitive/sports perspective. I cared about win and losses, the titles, the champions and if my favorites were doing well. The idea that a wrestler or wrestling match could be "bad" was foreign to me and it took a while to adjust.

David Cross is going to be playing a Howard K. Stern type character on Law and Order this May in a "Ripped from the Headlines" episode on the Anna Nicole mess. I MUST watch this.

http://www.pe.com/sports/breakout/stories/...01.40a8dc7.html Had to post this. A hilarious article (for anyone with a clue about baseball) on Juan Pierre with some of the most asinine quotes I've ever read about baseball from Maury Wills and Rich Donnelly. It's funny because when Pierre was playing and hitting well (03, 04) nobody was really talking about him and as soon as he starts to suck everyone is saying how great he is.

Jim Ross and Candice Michele on Mayhem Radio: Gotta love JR trying to put out fires and then the talent totally contradicts what he says in the next segment.

Anyone notice that Trump flubbed a line bigtime in his promo? Vince said that 95% of celebrities wanted to see Trump shaved. Trump was supposed to respond by saying that 95% of the fans wanted Vince shaved, but instead repeated Vince's lines about celebrities. Vince's response of the fans being idiots didn't make any sense because Trump never mentioned the fans

??? Um, there were actual posters on this board who were saying stuff like that. It was before Angle/Joe 1. Those people seem to have disappeared

Yeah I saw that tidbit on another board. It looks to be legit.

Jeromy Burnitz retires: http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7006711254

Hey stop being so tough you guys, if you don't like TNA you're not a real wrestling fan! Oops, sorry just got possessed by the spirit of the posters on this board circa 5 months ago. Where are those people now?

Yes and it concluded with Shatner giving Lawler a monkey flip!!! I remember Shatner being on the Stern Show a few years later saying it was the most embarrassing moment of his career.
