Yes. It does. If you're going to talk based on inaccurate facts, why talk at all?

Spike did just fine when he was the heel cruiserweight champion around 2004-ish. And remember how sickeningly cute he and Molly were as a couple during Invasion? Those were the only two times WWE ever came close to how well Spike was booked in ECW.

This has bad idea written all over it. Expecting couples are going to try to hold back any baby born before the day, and prematurely induce labor for any not born by then, all in order to nail that one day. They're gonna have a lot of dead babies.

Get yer facts straight. 200. Killed by terrorist bombs planted outside a train station, a market, and homes.

You're absolutely right, except two out of three WWE Films have made a profit.

Because, with the WWE's lowest ratings and a roster that never makes it past the third match on PPV, everyone on that show tends to make less money?

Yeah, Marvel requires only the most moral and upstanding individuals to star in their movies, like Robert Downey Jr. as the upcoming Iron Man.

Hell, that's one reason why companies outsource, to get away from regulations like those. You can get away with all kinds of pollution in most of the third world that would land you in prison if you did it in America.

Not all on the same day. One or two, sure. Five at once = layoffs.

Spike and Jerry?! I've said it before, but this definitely merits saying again: FUCK TNA.

I've known a few who did. And where the hell have ya been?

Sadly, you're probably right. "Look, it says our name right next to the WWE's! WE'RE RELEVENT, DAMMIT!"

Translation: "I'm not gonna burn any bridges OH GOD PLEEZ HIRE ME BACK" Translation: "I've been on the phone with every indy promoter I can get ahold of, begging for bookings."

I don't understand how this could be anything but pure greed and/or spite from Nancy's parents towards Benoit's side of the family. It's not like they were Nancy's dependents or anything like that. It's been stated over and over that Nancy died about a day before Daniel did, and the margin of error just isn't that damn big.

I saw Scott Hall choke on a piece of steak like that once. Turns out that laughing (he was mercilessly ribbing the shit out of AJ Styles at the time) isn't a good thing while you have food in your mouth.

Says the company funded by the giant oil conglomorate that provides power to 10% of the country.

So on this show I was working one time, we were doing a special Halloween show with "creature feature" matches like Freddy vs. Jason. One match was The Zombie (two long years before ECW did it), and his opponent was The Wolfman. Well, at the end of the match, the Wolfman whipped out a box cutter, and chopped off the zombie's fingers and ate them. (One of the boys happened to know this one wrestler who had a deformed hand, he was missing some fingers. So we made a prosthetic hand with a rubber glove, with hamburger and ketchup packed inside.) And then the referee shoot forgot the finish and DQ'd the Wolfman for using a foreign object.

That's actually the most important part of the story. If Congress starts investigating indy wrestling, and finds out just how scummy and illegal most of their business practices are, well bye-bye indy wrestling. HOW illegal: well over 90% of them pay no taxes whatsoever. And I could tell stories of at least one former NWA president who was a known homosexual that abused his workers and often paid them in weed instead of money... ALLEGEDLY [/kathy griffin].

BTW, since we don't have a Popick, a guy I know who's currently studying for his master's degree in finance at Vanderbilt said to quote him: "Saying that outsourcing is good for American companies across the board is bullshit." I'm not comparing them as if they're the same. And what about the ones where they earn $0.30? You're saying that these jobs all pay a fair living wage in line with that country's particular economy. I'm saying, they often don't. Minimum wage isn't something you can live on in the US, and lots of these jobs are about the same; the company pays the lowest amount it can possibly get away with. I live in one like that. It cost over three hundred grand. Not too many people can afford that. Also, in 1900, land was a LOT cheaper because of the much smaller population just hadn't used up nearly as much. Ripper answered it already better than I could: And like he said earlier, you still haven't come up with any actual examples of where outsourcing makes anything cheaper for the consumer.

And knowing TNA, they'll probably try to severely limit showing much stuff with anyone who's no longer with the company. Don't expect too much of the awesome stuff guys like Amazing Red were doing back in the day.

As for the First Year thing, it'll probably be like their 50 Greatest Moments dvd, buncha short clips. I noticed that it specifically didn't mention "matches" as being included.

Yeah, I know making fun of noobs is like shooting fish in a barrel when there's no water in it and you're using a 12-gauge and the fish are already dead, but I take ANY excuse possible to use lolcats imagery.

Heh, I remember that Jeff Peterson guy. Not just he died of cancer and got an indy tournament named after him, but from his pathetic little internat slapfight with Hyatte where he got like completely pwn3d d00d.

I'm confused, was that an "if we invade terrorists will get nukes" or an "if we don't invade terrorists will get nukes" post?

Since she's not getting paid, does that mean she's just a slut? Well, except when they were working on the same shows together.
