Slickster

18 months ago, you and some other guys discussed creating a Hasbro/Galoob wrestling figure league in this thread right here. I started booking for it, designing logos and everything. Then, out of the blue the whole idea was dropped. Drury37 and AM the Kid, you guys were the original founders and you still post on this board. Most importantly, you still have all the classic figures. Let's finally get the WWF (World of Wrestling Figures) on the road!

'Enemy' by Sevendust.

Thing is, you were going to be like THE MAN because you had like 47475 figures. And where is nWoScorpion anyway?

Did they announce the Unforgiven PPV theme?

My general sense regarding IZ is one of frustration. My 'Friday Nightmare' angle (which I had hoped could have led to a long interbrand feud) went absolutely nowhere (except for ShooterJay's contribution to the show). Now, I'm focusing on college, and I'd hoped that an ASlam match where I could lose and get jobbed out of IZ would be a good way to end the story of Orion. Unfortunately, since nobody wrote the match (I couldn't because of goodbyes/packing for college), my 2+month storyline got dropped like a hot potato. Ironically, this past Thursday ME approached me about becoming the new GM of IZ but I refused because now I really don't have the time to write stuff every week. In short, I'm probably going to be MIA from IZ until sometime where I can return and get the Orion character killed off once and for all. -HFP (the nWo 2002 of IZ)

How much longer would you give it before you try this idea, RRR?

I thought 'Broken' was used for the Taker-Hogan buildup.

IYH: Rock Bottom in December of 1998.

Five years ago today, a mostly forgettable WCW/nWo Road Wild card was headlined by another celebrity wrestler; namely, 'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno [who came out on top with some help from Kevin Eubanks]. Anybody have any comments about this....um, unique contest?

But if you also remember in 8 when the bio-hazard washed him away he turned back into a child, with no deformanties. The bad eye was a result of decompisition. Part VIII was, in short, an anomaly created by Paramount execs to kill off the Jason character (which they saw as a liability and an undesirable franchise) by basically burying him while also making some quick summer movie ca$h. The director wanted Part VIII to be 2 movies: one on the boat and one in NY (set back to back like III and IV). Paramount refused, so he had to condense them into 1 movie. The execs wanted Part VIII to end Jason and the F13 franchise, so that's why they insisted on the 'toxic waste' ending (figuring no character could recover from regressing to a childlike state). Jason was deformed as a boy...one of the 'flashback Jasons' in Part VIII is deformed and another is not (in part because nobody really gave a fuck about continuity on this movie...Crystal Lake connects to the OCEAN? It's a LAKE!).

I'd love to see it, but I don't think that they would be able to get a lot of support for a full 90-minute movie about a child killer. I think this would work better as a >60min short film, not a major studio release.

They keep releasing DVDs of younger talent because they figure most fans don't know/care about anything before...2001.

Poor Brian Lee. He had been recycled several times in his WWF tenure, but this "recycling" is the most gruesome of all.

Oh, and the cage is made of chains, not the 'tornado' fencing (tm CRZ) like other cages are.

If so, say so here so I can PM ya with all the necessary information! Thanks in advance!

I was convinced Foley would win at WM2000 because on March 23's edition of SmackDown!, Linda McMahon explained what would happen in the event of a Foley victory: "Triple H, let me give you this bit of information - I think that in all likelihood, Mick Foley WILL win the match at WrestleMania. And he, then, would go out on top - the way he should go out - retire as the World Wrestling Federation champion. However, that night the title would be declared vacant, and the very next night a tournament would begin that would last for the next few weeks, all the way to Backlash in Washington, DC, where a new World Wrestling Federation champion WILL be crowned."

I'm listening to it right now (I'm on track 12, aka Zach Gowen's theme) and it's become one of my favorite albums. The unreleased Killswitch Engage and Spineshank tracks are stuck on repeat on my CD player. Oh, and here's the REAL track listing: 1) Ill Nino - How Can I Live 2) Killswitch Engage - When Darkness Falls 3) Spineshank - Beginning Of The End 4) Mushroomhead - Sun Doesn't Rise 5) Hatebreed - Condemned Until Rebirth 6) Slipknot - Snap ('97 demo) 7) Chimaira - Army Of Me 8) From Autumn To Ashes - The After Dinner Payback 9) Sevendust - Leech 10) Powerman 5000 - Bombshell 11) Murderdolls - Welcome To The Strange 12) Seether - Out Of My Way 13) Stone Sour - Inside The Cynic 14) DevilDriver - Swinging The Dead 15) Sepultura w/Mike Patton - The Waste 16) The Blank Theory - Middle Of Nowhere 17) Nothingface - Ether 18) In Flames - Trigger 19) Lamb Of God - 11th Hour 20) Type O Negative - (We Were) Electrocute

The first since WCW GAB '00.

Vince said something to the effect of 'We'll be back" at a recent Calgary house show, but nothing is finalized yet.

I'm glad Al mentioned Barry Horowitz, though. Good main event.

As a side note: do we know if that match was actually ever going to take place? I've been behind with WWE programming for a long time, and have only now just caught up. I was wondering if they were just teasing it for a later date, or if they had actually planned to have that match at SS. Houston area cable providers featured a 30-second spot that said that that was the match. It even had clips of Goldberg talking shit about HHH.

What's the Unforgiven logo look like?

I marked out for the bag being put over young Jason's head (shades of part 2) as well as KRGR being the TV station and what appeared to be "Part VII" on the TV in the psych ward before the news came on.

Just saw it.... Spoiler (Highlight to Read): Jason pwned Freddy. People at the fridaythe13thforum.com are already calling it one of the best in either series.
