  1. I don't think Hogan's ego would permit him to miss a potential WM payday/moment of glory just so he can semi-main at a B-level PPV in New Hampshire.
  2. I think that blitzing people with a Hogan-Hassan confrontation during the HOF ceremony and then hyping it for 60 minutes on Heat the next night could have a positive influence on the last-minute customers who wait until Heat to decide to get the show.
  3. Mike, the State of Florida's official report on the case mentions the alleged abuse and injuries she sustained. However, the damage she suffered was found to be consistent with what happened when she fell down after her heart attack. I'm speculating that he wants her cremated so this whole thing is over. Who knows what some fanatics might do with her body?
  4. Arnold_OldSchool, your sources in re: Terri's physical condition are contradictory to the official report produced by the State of Florida for the purposes of this case. Also, citing RUMORMILLnews as a legitimate source doesn't exactly help your credibility.
  5. So he's like some bizarre smark antihero now.
  6. "Help us before he drives us all nuts!!"
  7. Heck, NCW (my company) is doing the same thing. I've already hired someone to advert for us outside the arena (and I'm trying to find people to do the same inside during the show). We aren't exactly 'invading,' just blatantly shilling for ourselves.
  8. Source Here's to Terri Schiavo. The victim of politicking from both the Left and Right, neither her parents nor her husband will be happy to see her go. Though she had lived in almost total obscurity for the last 15 years of her life, she has been the name on everyone's lips for the last ten days. I hope that her life and death serve as a reminder to all of us to make a living will and prepare for the unexpected.
  9. The most memorable moment from that night's RAW would be when Rock gave Austin the Stone Cold Stunner after their match (Rock/Austin def. Kane/Taker).
  10. Seeing so many other people talking about the KOTR reminded me of an idea I had thought about a week or so ago. Why not bring back the King of the Ring tournament as a way to boost house show attendance during the dry spell from June-August? Starting right after One Night Stand, each brand could do a 16-man tournament, with most of the matches taking place at house shows (with the occasional match on SD! or RAW so TV-only fans can follow the tournament). You post the brackets (with match dates and sites) for the tournament on WWE.com and mention the results as part of those 'live event recap' video packages they used to show on BottomLine/Afterburn. The RAW-brand and SD!-brand finals could happen on TV, say, 2 weeks before SummerSlam. Then, you hold the interpromotional tournament final at the PPV itself (with the winner getting a title shot at Unforgiven/No Mercy). What does this accomplish? -Builds interest in house shows by making them relevant to storylines -Can be used to elevate talent -Automatically books the ME for the Sept/Oct PPV (traditionally poor draws), which could boost fan interest. (This could easily be done, as each brand would have to do only 14 tournament matches in 2 months. RAW and SD! each run 3 shows per week.) Your thoughts?
  11. I do believe that was sarcasm, twiztedmind.
  12. The last Thunder was funny because no one mentioned that it was the last episode.
  13. My personal favorite moment was seeing Shane McMahon come out (with chyron) on Nitro. It was so surreal that even after the segment was over and they had gone to commercial I just stared at the screen dumbfounded.
  14. Any sign ideas? I'm asking to see if I can spot you in the crowd during the show.
  15. Just wondering which TSMers will be at WrestleMania on 4/3.
  16. The Duff pic is indeed photoshopped.
  17. Thanks for the help!
  18. Nashua, NH is his hometown.
  19. Dusty likes having 'Slam' in the name; see Slamboree (another creation of his).
  20. Backlash will be live on Sunday, May 1, from the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.
  21. Yeah, the kid fell over the rail and Shawn helped him get out of harm's way. Austin sold this just by staring at HBK and sarcastically holding the ropes open for him, as if to say "Good job, Humaniatrian of the Year."
  22. Probably the last year that all inductees will be alive, too, since I'd say the Road Warriors are a lock for next year.
  23. Rob, what is your name on Fark? /farks as Slickster
  24. I'm assuming Warrior was referring to pure democracy (Greek-style one-man, one-vote rule), in which case he would be correct.
