Nightfall

Boring chant....

Bodies....I frown for the first time.

WHIPPERSNAPPER~!!!

HA! Old school darker guy with short hair cameo! This guy used to be at all the old WWF shows.

Damn, Big Sal is who I wanted to see the most out of the FBI. Super Crazy got a haircut.

Hat guy isn't in in the right place edit: totaly forgot they're in NY....doh

Old school for Jerichos thights, nice touch.

Ewwww to the new voiceover for "this is extreme"

Funny Styles got a much bigger pop then Foley did.

Foley!

RVD's leg is still hurt, I doubt he could work a match.

I don't see them having too many problems with this ring. In the indys, I'm sure they had to deal with 10 different types of rings.

What incident is that for those of us not watching Heat?

I forgot how much it is, they just take it off my card every month. They have every match they've ever put up still, plus they add more every month. The quality isn't what you'd expect, but it's very watchable, and I like being able to watch all these matches any time I want without having them on my hard drive or on DVDs. I think it's worth it.

My grandmother went on The Big Spin in 1989, spun the wheel, and won $50,000. That damn ball was one space away from the $1,000,000 space too.

Indy wrestler Dan Quirk, who wrestled under the name Spider, passed away last night after injuries occurred when performing a plancha while working for Ultimate Championship Wrestling in Taunton, Massachusetts. According to several reports, Quirk's opponent was unable to catch him, causing Quirk to crash to the floor headfirst. Quirk was out immediately with blood visible after he hit the floor. The match was immediately halted and an ambulance was called. Efforts to revive Quirk were unsuccessful. He was only 22 years old. Does anyone have any info of who this guy is?

It appears TNA's run on the Fox Sports Network will end with this Friday's episode of Impact!, scheduled for 5/27 at 4 PM. Impact! is not listed for the following Friday 6/3 on Fox Sports, with the timeslot instead filled by "The World Series of Darts." There are no listings for TNA anywhere on Fox Sports' schedule for the months of June and July, which is as far as the schedules are posted on The Fox Sports website. TNA had taped two episodes of Impact! at the last taping at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida on 5/17, so with nothing "in the can" so to speak, it appears that the company will be going dark, with the exception of their scheduled PPVs this summer. In recent weeks, there have been a lot of rumors about the future of TNA's home on television. While no one seems to be certain for sure, the story making the rounds within TNA was that some sort of announcement would be made within the next 7-10 days about their TV situation. I do know that conversations had been ongoing with WGN and Spike TV in recent weeks, with many inside TNA believing that WGN was the stronger of the two possibilities. There has been nothing but optimism from those I have spoken to within the company, so for their sake, hopefully that optimism won't be for naught. That's not to say all signs have been negative for the future of the company. Last week, TNA signed both NWA champion AJ Styles and X-Division champion Christopher Daniels to new deals through 2007 and also announced plans for an August PPV event, titled Sacrifice. There are still dates listed at Universal Studios through 7/19 as well, although that could change given their TV status. Positive or negative, PWInsider.com will have more on TNA's TV situation as it develops. This sucks, I hope they get some new tv soon. Do they still have that syndicated show? I haven't heard anything about it for a while now. Maybe they'll go back to ppvs every week until they get a new tv deal.

Even if Vince were to try to recreate a new ECW brand, I don't think many fans would accept it, as it would be just like the 'new' WCW. Everyone knew it was really just the WWE, and it seemed like WCW was just another stable within the WWE. Also, as everyone knows, if they moved an ECW branded show to Friday nights, it would die fast. Weekend nights do NOT work for wrestling, except for the rare special here and there. But not a weekly show.

"I figured, Let me just cut myself off from everybody, take a minute and pull a Flintstone-stop a speeding car by using my feet as the brakes. I am surprised at what I would do for $50 million. I am surprised at what people around me would do for me to have $50 million," Dave Chappelle tells TIME's Christopher John Farley in an exclusive interview. CHAPPELLE tells TIME he's not in mental hospital or drug rehab, debunking earlier reports in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY and elsewhere. The full story, as well as exclusive photos of Chappelle in South Africa, will appear on TIME.com Sunday morning and in the issue that hits newsstands Monday. Got this off Drudge. So maybe he will complete season 3 and it will air soon.

I just got a new computer, but when I tried to cap using Windows Media Center, it was like 30 megs for a 30 second video clip. I'm looking for some faqs or forums that have support for this stuff. I'm also looking for ways to improve my video quality. Thanks for the help.

From PWInsider's "Ask Tod Gordon" 10/22/2004: Tod, To a question you answered, I believe on 9/6 about 911. I thought that 911 passed away a few years ago? 911, real name Al Poling, is very much alive and residing on a farm in New Jersey.

From Slam! Sports. A wounded Rico calls it quits By GREG OLIVER - Producer, SLAM! Wrestling Rico LAS VEGAS - Rico Costantino is pretty bitter about the way his wrestling career ended. But it's not over his surprise departure from WWE in November 2004, which he sees as a business decision not a personal one, but over his last tour for All Japan. "All Japan is a bunch of liars, liars. And I will go on record saying that they are liars," Costantino told SLAM! Wrestling in an exclusive interview in his hometown of Las Vegas. "I left the country with no money. Nothing. With the promise that they would wire me." After being released from his WWE contract in a phone call from talent relation boss John Laurinaitas (Johnny Ace), Rico was paid to stay at home for 90 days. Despite being contacted almost immediately by All Japan to come wrestle for them, he declined until his 90-day no compete clause ended on February 2, 2005. On that day, he worked his first All Japan match, teaming with Bull Buchanan to defeat Mitsuya Nagai and Masayuki Naruse to win the All-Asian Tag Team titles. Rico had been convinced to give All Japan a try by friends like Buchanan and Taka Michinoku. He worked out the deal with All Japan's American liaison, but was repeatedly told that a contract was not necessary. "They promised me $3,000 a week, and I worked 17 days there. That's $429 a day. They owed me $6,800. I took a $400 draw, which means they owe me $6,400. Out of $6,400, they wired me $4,500," he said. "That is just dishonest." His last match in Japan was also his last ever wrestling match. At 44 years of age, Rico Costantino's brief flirtation with pro wrestling is over. "I haven't worked since. I am completely done. ... I can't say it's a bitter end to wrestling. It's not. That was an incident, unfortunately, that I allowed myself to get into, to trust," he admitted. Still, Rico is a very positive person, and did actually enjoy being in Japan and the in-ring action. "Japan was great, the fans were great, the wrestling was great, the other guys were great. Kowada tried to take a little liberty with me, but I soon changed his way. He tried to be a little stiff, and I was a little stiff back. After that, we had a mutual understanding. ... They wanted to see what I had. Okay. Just don't knock my teeth out." Talking about his dismissal from the WWE roster is a lot harder. "To me, it was a shock. Ace called me and he said 'We've got to let you go.' I asked him why. Was it something I did?" Rico said, before resuming after a long period of silence. "'No. It's just one of those things.' It hurts. It hurts now." Having had the varied career that he has -- police officer, security guard, American Gladiator, motivational speaker, busboy -- Costantino has found it easy to come to terms with the business side of the termination, just not the personal one. "It's not personal. It's a business. It's a business decision. That's all it was," he said. "I was never given an answer. Thank you, they said. Johnny Ace said maybe in six months they'd bring me back. Johnny said, 'you're on my list to come back. You're a good guy Rico. You've done everything we've asked of you.' And I never complained about anything. "I was proud to be a professional wrestler. I was honored to be a professional wrestler. I was honored to work for Vince [McMahon], first and foremost. Vince could have picked anybody. Why'd he go with a 38-year-old guy? What happened? What made you look at me? You saw something. ... granted, I wasn't a top money maker, but I added variety to the show. You can't have a whole two hours of serious crap." He doesn't keep in touch with anybody from WWE, though his wife is friendly with Jackie Gayda and Charlie Haas, and they hope to attend their wedding later this year. "It hurts too much because I love them all," Rico said. "There [were] some people I didn't like because of their actions. Yeah, some people I had some rough times with. But you know what? We were all family. To me, for five years, I was family with these people. Good, bad, indifferent, we all stuck together. But I don't keep in touch. I have to move on. I have to move on with my life. Not to say that I won't keep in touch in the future, but right now, I'm focused ... time heals all wounds. It wasn't a malice-inflicted wound, but it was a wound somebody didn't see coming. So it hurts." For now, Rico Costantino is looking to the past for a new career. He's enrolled in training for law enforcement again -- he first graduated from police academy in 1985 -- and given the number of police around Las Vegas, there are many job possibilities. He still has a couple more months of re-training, and has found it rewarding working with trainees almost half his age. "I'm glad I'm taking the class now, because since 1985 to 2005, laws have changed significantly," he said. The day before he met with SLAM! Wrestling, Rico had been in a study session into the late hours with some fellow trainees. "They're looking to me for guidance, so I'm a little teacher again." One regret from the decision to return to law enforcement - he had to lose the sideburns that made him so recognizable around town, even months from being on WWE TV.

Then can you rec me some good software to make the files smaller? I can download a whole episode of an hour long show, and in perfect quality it's only like 350-400 MBs. But if I were to cap it myself on my computer, I'm sure it would be a lot bigger, as I cap 1 meg a second.

Its going to be weird watching him on tv knowing he died 2 days after it was taped.

People still say Goldberg was one of the guys that Piper beat down when he was trying people out for his team for the Uncensored cage match. He wasn't there.
