Check my account's born-on date, I've been spreading the WWE Sux gospel for the better part of a decade here now. But why should the Jackass guys change anything about themselves, when the whole point of the angle is that the WWE's ratings are "meh" now and they're trying to do something different in order to hotshot the territory? Also, considering that Steve-O constantly gets set on fire, falls off buildings, endures puncture wounds to the groin, etc etc etc, do you really expect him to "sell" a Samoan Spike? This goof doesn't know shit about wrestling, and he stays too drunk/high to remember any of the directions the office gives him. Once again: if a non-wrestler fucks up a spot on a wrestling show, it's the boss's fault, not the non-wrestler's. They didn't know any better. And finally, I don't know if it will draw that much money, just because non-wrestling celebrities seem to have a hard time taking their fans along to watch them on wrestling shows. KISS sells out arenas around the country every night (and parties every day), but all those fans sure as hell didn't watch Nitro to see them. Sports fans didn't flock to TNA when they had Tito Ortiz, Hermie Sadler, Brian Urlacher, Johnny Damon, the entire Tennessee Titan lineup, or whoever the current flavor of last month is. The WWE tripped and fell into the best timing on earth when they signed Kevin Federline the very week that he and Britney got divorced, but the ratings still didn't jump through the ceiling. And don't forget catastrophes like Dennis Rodman. The only REALLY successful celebrity cameos in wrestling were Cyndi Lauper, Mr. T, and Mike Tyson, and that's about it.

::unzips pants:: "Quick Robin, deploy the niggarang!" Oh man, I kill me. In seriousness, as I recall, weren't they anti-Japanese or something? Not really a surprise, 1943 and all, kind of like having an action hero in a 2003 movie call a terrorist "towelhead".

Make people pick one wrestler at a time, and then randomly choose the order of people out of a hat or something similar. That way even if the first couple guys already took Samoa Joe and CM Punk, you've still got a good shot at getting a few of your favorites.

Yeah, I forget the details, but Vince was asking for some crazy greedy deal and Spike was just all "hella no". So he jumped back to USA, and Spike was just all "we'll just program more UFC plus we got our own wrestling now LOL".

...apparently you can't do that on these boards, unless you hack the crap out of 'em. Damn cocktease Mole.

Yeah, they were. (As much as I do and will continue to bitch about TNA, they've truthfully improved a HELL of a lot since those days.) I wouldn't take this "meeting" stuff too seriously, as I've heard it at least five hundred other times before. JJ and Dixie begged around at every network in the country before Spike finally picked them up as a "fuck you" to Vince for pulling out.

I wouldn't recommend anything with Dutt ever, but that's just my bias talking. Also, avoid the nine million matches Sabin had against Kazarian and Michael Shane back in Nashville, because they were all two-star cookie cutter affairs that all looked alike. As for his best stuff? I second the recommendations for vs. Joe at No Surrender and vs. Juvy in the X Cup.

"The Wrestling Observer says that Montel Vontavious Porter's costume conceals the Malcolm X tattoo on his chest that WWE wants covered up. His birth name was Alvin Burk but he took the name Hasaan Asaad when he became a Muslim whilst in prison, though reportedly he doesn't mention his religion much at all nowadays. Credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter, 4th June 2007" Not that the WO is infallible, but on stuff like this, Meltzer's usually telling the truth. Yeah that one dude was being beat up by umaga and he pretty much no selled it then umaga seemed to get a bit stiff with him. Just another shining example of stupidity by mcmahon and the wwe to use these clown... The only reason I can think of for me personally to even bother checking dailymotion the next day is to see if they pulled some stupid stunt like laughing or no selling again and hoping that they honestly then got their ass handed to them. Of course they started laughing. Go watch anything Jackass related: every single time they do something incredibly painful, these cavemen start laughing their asses off. And if the WWE expected a retarded addict like Steve-O to change his ways just to "protect the business", then it's their goddamn stupid fault for putting him in the ring in the first place. And yes, the creative writing team sucks. Always have, ever since they started hiring Hollywood writers. Remember when one of the chicks in the first DivaSearch read a poem to Katie Vick? She got lectured at by one of the writers.... because he had no idea who Katie Vick was. Keep in mind this was like just a year after the most infamous angle of all time. And don't forget that Brian Gerwitz hated on one of Flair's promos because Ric mentioned Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen, and HEAD WRITER Gerwitz had never heard of either of them.

If the intelligent design supporters just wanted science teachers to mention "and some people think that the universe was created by some sort of sentient higher power, though there's not much proof for that", I'd have no trouble with it. My contempt starts when they demand "and many people know that the universe was created by Jehova because the infallible Bible says so". If they took the Yahweh-centric monotheism out of the intelligent demand stuff, it might almost sound reasonable; lord knows our universe's laws of physics are so screwy that sometimes it does seem like someone created them on purpose. A someone with a strange sense of humor who was drunk at the time. Oh yeah, it's the original debate that does not end. I love it. As for the SAB, it's just my easy go-to link whenever this arguement pops up. Sure, a lot of the stuff they mention can be explained away, but I've yet to meet anyone (except maybe Milky, oddly enough) who can refute every one of 'em. Except I don't think they were inspired by God at all. Looking at the books they chose vs. the ones they didn't, it seemed like they had a fairly rigid political agenda to me. Enoch doesn't make any sense, you're right, but it seems like they kicked out Mary Magdeline just because, well, she lacked a penis. (And no, Dan Brown didn't teach me these beliefs, I knew this stuff long before I ever read DaVinci Code.) And the Bible never seemed like it formed one clear message to me. I always thought it seemed like a somewhat haphazard collection of scraps and teachings by a wide variety of very different people with very different opinions and motivations. My favorite example: Leviticus. The way that book rambles on and on about sin and abomination, I almost expect it to demand the execution by stoning of anyone who sneezes and doesn't get a "bless you" from anyone. The last dead horse I'll beat: if it's infallible, if the editors were guided by God, then why do we have the King James version, the New King James version, the International version, the New American Standard Bible, the English Standard edition, so forth and so on? Which one is the 100% legitimate Endorsed By God version? Problem is, they ALL claim that.

Yeah. Kinda reminds me how someone posted spoilers about which cast members died in Serenity, long before the movie came out. I held strong for a couple days, but then just had to click and drag and "WTF Wash dies?!", with painfully lengthy months to go before I could actually see it.

I told ya. Pepto bismal. Might still not be too late.

What the hell? You can do that on Invisionboard? ::runs to the Pit's admin cp::

Heh... never saw that before. Lotsa... interesting stuff. (Gee, you think whoever did my entry was a wee bit biased? Then again... damn near everybody's is almost equally negative.) Also, New Millinium Blues closed? Awww.

Must... not... break into... hysterical hyena laughter... Anyway, who wants the hassle of TV? The constant impossible deadlines, the Sword Of Damocles-esque threat of cancellation at any time, all that crap. That's why I wanna work in high-budget movies, where you can spend an entire day lighting one shot of Nicole Kidman and the studio just tells ya "good job". I swear, I got this idea about a heartbreaking tale of double-starcrossed unrequited true love, set against the background of a pro wrestling company being invaded by vampires, it'll make MILLIONS I tells ya!

Oh, I never claimed to be a good person. I just get pissed whenever someone calls me dumb. Say I'm a loser, broke, pretentious, argumentative, overly opinionated, arbitrarily judgemental, chain-smoking, Tussin-addled, pudgy, balding, faithless, a mama's boy, half sociopathic, borderline schizophrenic, clumsy, unconsensually celebate, compulsively masturbatory, generally creepy, and that I dig crazy fat chicks, and I'll probably just agree and then mutter something about how my 7.5 inches of throbbing thunder makes it all irrelevant. But call me stupid, and I get angrily defensive, it's a weird kneejerk response. DMC= Democratic... uh... something? Actually I'm not a conservative, I'm mostly independent with a bizarrely wide range of views on various political topics, teeter-tottering from left to right like a recent divorcee after last call at the club on Ladies Night. I get mistakenly lumped in with the GOP by association with the rabid rethuglikkkans in the CE folder of my board, mostly. Also, production company? Watcha produce?

No. Martha Stewart. She served a much longer sentence for way less serious crimes, and was forced to do all of it without any medical breakdowns or anything similar. She's more hated because she DIDN'T weasel out of her jail time? What? Nah, other way around. For vague insider trading stuff that she might or might not have known about, Martha goes to jail for months, and stays there. Paris drives drunk and then gets caught not once but twice driving while suspended, and goes to jail for three days. (Yeah, she might be going back for more, but, still.) And, a big DAMN too all that stuff about Baca. Major-league starfucker. Hope he at least gets impeached from his position, if not put up on charges himself, that's a pretty blatant conflict of interest case there. And yes, that picture of Psycho Slasher Barbie turns me on too.

I know the office tends to castrate everyone but the main eventers in the WWE to make sure they're all good li'l clones, but this company would be way better if everyone had half as much charisma as Crazy Ole Vince.

Aw cmon, I thought my claim of an infinity billion times bigger dick was way more ridiculous.

Jingus: here's a nice long logical argument. King: YOUR STOOPID. My IQ tests at 150. How 'bout yours? And as long as I'm making pointless comparisons, I bet my phallus is infinity billions times larger too.

Better question, considering we're talking about the original Middle Easterners and how whitey is really a numerical minority on this planet: if we all came from Adam & Eve, why are there people that ARE white? I was dragged to church every week for the first fifteen years of my life. (And it never made sense. Of course, it was Church of Christ...) You know what finally made me stop going? People like you. King: the Bible doesn't preach against homosexuality. Jingus: sure it does. ::provides concrete examples:: K: well, those were First Edition rules, they don't count. J: um, did ya miss these? ::points out Paul and others blatantly condemning gays:: K: you took it out of context. You have to read the whole thing. J: I have. Please provide logical arguments to refute what the book itself says. K: YOUR STOOPID. (And you have to believe the Bible in order to believe the Bible!) And don't even get me into the argument about Biblical fallibility. The entire story of Noah's ark is one massive hole in the plot, as it's completely impossible to happen in real life. Also, if it's so infallible, why can't current scholars even agree on one correct translation for the original text? And what about all those books that the Council of Nicea kinda mostly arbitrarily decided weren't scripture, because... well, because they said so? And you didn't address any of the various factual contradictions and just plain silly shit that I brought up here and here. I'm not anti-Christian, in basic theory. I think that the world would be a MUCH better place if people lived more by Jesus's teachings than not. But when they insist on bringing in all the stupid side bullshit too, nothing turns me off quicker.

Short story, because TNA is run by paranoid, incompetent fucks. ROH is the next closest thing they have to "competition", plus Joe publicly burying TNA's booking at a ROH show didn't help.

Thing is, the real reason MVP wears the gear? To cover up the huge Malcolm X tattoo he's got on his chest, which the office isn't exactly thrilled about. (In prison, he converted to Black Islam and changed his name to something like Hassan Assad.) Yes, really.

Yep, it was the fault of a completely green rookie on his first week of training. Damn him for not knowing all the million ways you can get hurt in the ring. He should've used his River Tam psychic powers to see that one coming. Ya see, I have looked it up. And the official explanations are full of holes, since the move they claim Brian Ong was supposed to be taking, uh, doesn't really exist in wrestling. Of course, having a 7+ foot, really clumsy monster give your n00bs a bunch of moves is pretty much asking for trouble. But I'm sure you're right, the reason I disagree is because I'm gullible. Must be all those bumps I've taken in the ring, including landing on my head a few times, makes me downright naive. Yes. You're a bitter old bastard. I want to see it too.

Well, I never got into any of the Tekken games, and Street Fighter is Street Fighter usually no matter which version it is.
