Changed every month, mostly Jarrett, but it was kind of a "booking via HUGE committee" bit of attempted synergy.

Oh yeah, that pissed me off. And I was a massive blind Angle mark at the time. Him vs. Jannetty was a completely ordinary TV match, a few cool sequences, but really nothing special that a 1,000 other guys couldn't do. And yet people actually claim that it was better than the matches Angle had with Michaels?!

::raises hand:: Part of it has to do with the "street cred" aspect that was important in ECW. Credible had NONE. He was a barely average wrestler who'd never done anything memorable before ECW other than wear a yellow jockstrap over his head. Then he was booked in a HHHesque fashion where he beat everyone for almost two fuckin' years. And it doesn't help his case that he was actually really good at being a heel, something the markier fans completely fell for. In fact... did Cena steal Credible's old ring gear, or what? Jean shorts and nothin' else... creepy...

Well, you know why, better than anyone.

Captain America vs. Namor Cap is strong and all, when he ain't dead, but Namor is way more powerful and merciless. Red Tornado vs. Beast Agreed that Beast would find some scientific way to shut the robot down. Batman vs. Superman Batman always wins whenever he fights Superman, for whatever reason. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) vs. Deadpool So, this is Lantern Jordan and not Parallax Jordan, right? Just making sure. Silver Surfer vs. Iron Fist This is like Andre vs. SD Jones. Moon Knight vs. Nick Fury (Ultimate) I'm not the biggest MK fan, but my contempt for the whole Ultimate concept knows no bounds. Punisher vs. Hulk This is actually the closest fight, in my opinion. Castle has beaten Banner before. Coin flip. Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!) vs. Wolverine Unless Wolverine's claws can pierce Marvel's skin, it's not even a contest. Guy Gardner vs. Kyle Rayner Fuck Gardner. Phoenix vs. Ms. Marvel PHOENIX SMASH. Spider-Man vs. The Flash (Wally West) Take away Spidey's speed advantage, with an opponent who moves faster than his spider sense can track, and he's damn near helpless. Nightwing vs. Beta Ray Bill It's Junior Bats, he never friggin' loses. Hawkeye vs. Thor This should take about five seconds. Human Torch vs. Lobo Tough call, Lobo's meaner, but Torch has the big advantage in powers. Black Panther vs. Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt) Mr. Who? Daredevil vs. Black Bolt Black Who? Wonder Woman vs. Superboy (Connor Kent) WW yanks her own top down and then beats Superboy to death while he stares at her tirts. Multiple Man vs. Emma Frost Mind over matter. Archangel vs. Captain Britain I can't even remember what the hell CB's powers are, so the original X gets the duke.

Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper's little showdown in True Romance. In a movie full of amazing moments, that one really stood out. The endings of Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense, IF you didn't see them coming (like me). And oh yeah, that scene in Magnolia too. Easily my favorite part of that movie, one of the few times I was literally cheering for two movie characters to hook up.

No, it's about two thousand miles away from the deep south. Utah is basically Mormonland, USA, so they end up with a shitload of weird laws on the books.

Ever see Jericho's arms up close? Take a good look at those biceps. They were awfully thick for such a (relatively) little guy. Personally, I have no problem whatsoever with small guys beating big guys. ANYTHING can make sense and get over if it's just booked and presented properly. For the people who bitch that it's unrealistic, well, did you ever see the first few UFC shows, with Royce Gracie consistently kicking the ass of every opponent he faced, many much larger than himself?

They do. They're big fat labels that read, "This Guy is The Best", in storyline terms. They provide insta-feud motivation without needing one guy to accidentally spill coffee on another one in the back so that they can start fighting. Seriously, how would you book an entire wrestling show with no championships?

Everyone who praises anything about the American "Godzilla" for any reason deserves to have their house stepped on by Gojira. Terrible, worthless movie.

Florida. And Wisconsin. And California. And New York. And Texas. And Japan. And England. And the Middle East. All people from everywhere seem to be really screwed up in the head.

It used to be Shawn Michael's old school, remember? They also put out American Dragon, Brian Kendrick, Paul London, Lance Cade, Michael Shane, and various other guys.

A few people have mentioned 13 already, but not enough hatred has been spewed its way for my liking. It only had seven matches, out of which only ONE was any good at all. And Sid-Taker might possibly be the worst Wrestlemania main event ever (not counting Hogan-Yokozuna).

Absolutely wrong. At least 90% of WWE fans have probably never watched any indy wrestling, ever. Absolutely right. And it means nothing, because Vince has proven, time and again, that he'd rather push giant bodybuilders than actual wrestlers. Would I like to see Punk with the world belt? Truthfully, not really, I've got a variety of biases against the guy. But I'd still much rather watch him wrestle than Cena, Batista, or Lashley. Problem is, Vince disagrees with that statement, so it's all a moot point.

So, there just happened to be these ten guys who just happened to have guns and masks when they just happened to knock on the door where there just happened to be a woman they were willing to fuck? Bullshit, they knew this woman or her kid. It definitely sounds like there was some kind of grudge here, why else do the sick extra shit like the forced incest or trying to blind the boy? Note to EVERYONE: anyone you know... anyone... can become a violent criminal under the right circumstances. In every case, after the facts come out, there's always some poor schmuck who says "This isn't like the person I knew, I can't believe they'd do that!"

The spman speaketh truth. I still watch all the shows (albeit via taping them to watch later, and fast-forwarding past all the commercials and the crap I don't wanna watch to get to the 20 good minutes each week... 5 for ECW), but I'm definitely not interested in the WWE product. I damn sure haven't spent any money on it in years. If, oh, say, ROH, Chikara, IWA Mid-South, and NOAH had tv shows I could watch, I'd never bother going back to the WWE to get my fix again.

"Greatest"? He didn't cut the best promos. He damn sure didn't draw the most money. And he might have had the best matches, but even he's debatable. (And that's coming from a big fan of HBK.) Besides, Vince's ghey crush on Michaels led to him getting away with a LOT of shit that nobody else did. Punk is just as thin as Michaels, if not thinner. His promos are about equal, but he's not as funny. And no matter what the ROHbots say, CM Punk could only approach Shawn Michaels' workrate in his dreams. But of course the Batistas and Lashleys have shown us that talking and wrestling aren't as important to Vince as just standing there and looking really big. Meanwhile, Punk stands there and looks like a fluffy cat right after it's been given a bath. Once again: except for his boytoy Michaels, Vince has never put the belt on anyone that small. Why do you think he's gonna start experimenting now? Certainly not because of Benoit's death, as pushing Lashley and Kane shows.

Usually when it's Kamala vs. Random Heel Veteran on the indy scene, Kamala plays the goofy-but-intimidating babyface while the heel just mostly runs away. I understand the AJ/Oullete thing; they're trying to use some of their local guys alongside TNA "superstars" and former WWF wrestlers, makes sense to me. Plus, AJ is one of those guys who usually doesn't mind doing jobs on the indies.

Shawn Michaels look-a-like on the independent circuit.He's also married to April Hunter.......I'm sure some here will remember her. What? April's not with Slyk Wagner Brown? Aw dammit, next you'll tell me Santa Claus ain't real.

I'll give you JBL, but Booker and Angle?! They were obviously doing something more than just saying prayers and taking vitamins. Punk is skinnier than anyone they've ever had as world champion. Ever. Even Shawn Michaels had more muscle mass back in the day. Vince just isn't gonna put a world belt on a guy who looks like that. Either Punk has to change his mind about his "straightedge" ways (assuming of course that we don't get federally mandated WWE drug testing sometime soon), or he can forget about ever being a main eventer.

Yeah, in theory. I don't think jeans would do it, you'd need something with thinner & more flexible material, like some sort of phaggy biker shorts or something similar. If it pressed up against the middle of your sack, so that you had a ball on each side, it could indeed look like what's betwixt the phalanges of a dromedary.

Really? I've never watched one of his movies because of hearing about them sucking. Please explain in further detail Boll's douchieness.

The WWE sacrificed the "unbeaten" streaks of both Umaga and Khali to the almighty devouring altar of Cena. What in the blue hell makes you think that Vince is gonna let some skinny indy guy beat his newest Heartbreak Cold Rock Hogan? Besides, who was the last guy to win a world belt who WASN'T a bodybuilder? Big Show and RVD don't count, as ECW was designed to be an inferior brand right from the start. And don't say Rey Jr either, cuz, well, "O.G."...

I like the commentary tracks where they're staged: Talledega Nights, Incident at Loch Ness, so forth & so on. Also very amusing are the tracks where the people talking clearly don't like the movie they made, but seem to be forbidden from actually saying anything bad: Alien vs. Predator comes to mind.

Go look at the cover art for all the DVDs of their shows. TNA disagrees with you. They see Angle, Sting, and Christian as the big stars (and of course Jarrett). Guys like Styles, Daniels, and Joe mean shit to them in the long run, to their way of thinking.
