Hey, leave the poor guy alone. He actually convinced several people (including me) for about five minutes that he was a chick, which does take a little talent. Just because I'm a compulsive name dropper, I'm gonna limit my answers to people in the wrestling business. 1) Who is the strangest person you have ever met before? Koko B. Ware. He just wasn't all there. One night he cornered me at an indy show and proceeded to lecture me on the simplest basics of Psychology 101 as if he were hand-delivering to me the Deepest Esoteric Secrets of Wrestling on a stone tablet writ from God's own hands. 2) Who is the hottest person you have ever met before? Tracy Brooks, easily. 3) Strongest? The Harris brothers. I used to be scared of getting hurt in the ring, but having these two giant bald bastards hold me nine feet up in the air helped me get over that. 4) Shyist? The Amazing Red. You'd swear the little guy was a twelve-year-old bookworm from the way he acts. 5) Hungriest as in having a passion to suceed in something? Teddy Hart. Seriously. He's the type who'll go work out in the gym at 2:00 AM if he doesn't have the time earlier in the day. 6) Hungriest as in the amount of food eaten? Vice versa (people who eat no food) The boss of my indy fed, a 400-pound guy called Krull. It's an awesome sight to watch him demolish a buffet. 7) Most deceptive? Raven. Only talked to the guy a couple of times, but from watching him I always got the feeling he was trying to work people in subtle ways. 9) Most popular? Sabu. Everyone loved him. 10) Nicest? Bobby Eaton. All the "great guy" stories about him are true. 11) Biggest jerk? Jeff G. Bailey. (The cool thing about Jeff is that he'll take this as a compliment.) 12) Most Normal? Jerry Lynn, a guy so ordinary (except for his music tastes) you wonder just how the hell he ended up in wrestling. 13) Most split personalites? Joel Gertner. I consider him a friend, but I never figured him out. He'd be a smiling bouncy happy dude one minute, and really depressed the next. 14) Most addicted to something? Me. Just hang around me when I haven't had a cigarette today and see what I mean.

I don't know a single person who pays for online music either.

I accidentally slept through the whole show, which is too bad, cuz the results look pretty damn good. Don't really have any major complaints overall. I'm particularly glad to be able to say the phrase "Academy Awards-winning actress Cate Blanchett and writer Charlie Kaufman". And does anyone else find it really fucking weird that the chick from The Next Karate Kid has become a TWO-TIME, TWO-TIME, TWO-TIME Oscar winner?

Going an hour is more of a psychological issue, knowing what your body's limits are and how to pace yourself, than a physical one. Hero and Punk may be able to wrestle each other for seventeen hours straight, but put them out on the court for your average NBA game and they'd have heart attacks. Samoa Joe is very damn good. He didn't used to be; back in his UPW/Zero-One days I wondered just what the Samoa Joe marks were smoking to consider the big lunk to be talented, but he's gotten a lot better since then. If one is given to naming young wrestlers as "The New insert-veteran-here", I'd call him the new Vader. But if I had to name just one guy as the best all-around wrestler in ROH, I'd probably go with Danielson too.

Are you guys kidding me? The veery definition of "main event" is that it's the last match of the evening. Period. Therefore, Benoit-HBK-HHH was the main event of WMXX (along with being the best match of the night and certainly the match that drew me to the event). But Wrestlemania's main event has always been treated as being more important than any individual title. That goes back to the very first Mania, where world champ Hogan was in a tag match for the main event. Hell, it wasn't until Wrestlemania 7 that the main was just a straight-up ordinary title match that wasn't a gimmick match, a "dream match", or a long-built grudge match with at least a year's worth of backstory.

Is is?

Diesel's response to losing the belt to Bret at SurSer95: "FUCK MOTHERFUCKER!"

Who the hell is behind Grumco, anyway? It's a cute gimmick.

I refuse to click on those pictures. I am currently picturing Regina Phelange as Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. "Hey guys, look at my boobies! . . . AND THE GORE SHALL FLOW, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

I've been talking on the phone to some friends who are at the building in Chicago. I wish I were there watching some of the best wrestlers in the world, instead of being stuck here having to absorb it by proxy through my phone and computer. Grrrr. (Looks like a really good show, too.)

Wow, you certainly live up to your name, SPS. But you do raise some good points. Does anyone know for sure if this is actually happening or not?

Nobody post after this. Let this die. In fact, if any of the mods are so inclined, I wouldn't terribly miss it if it were locked or erased.

They did when TNA papered Nashville for a year and a half, anyway. Only the people who were sitting in chairs on the floor actually paid to get into the show. (And a few of them got in free too.) I have no idea exactly what numbers TNA is drawing today in its Universal TV studio.

Who cares if Angle got squashed in that match? Big Show's Hogan impression was the entire point of it all. Backlash 2000 did indeed rule, much better than the Wrestlemania that preceeded it in my opninion.

I'm one of the few who really doesn't mind Bradshaw; unfortunately, he's not exactly Stone Cold when it comes to drawing money. That being said, Cena's not much better. His "rap" act is already getting kinda stale, and will not improve with age. If JBL wins, the fans might just riot. In this smarky day & age of faster-than-light gratification, the HonkyTonk Man push ain't gonna work for too long. The marks will only watch their heroes get screwed for so long before they lose interest. WCW proved that with the endless nWo run-ins and nonfinishes. But if Cena wins, who the hell does he fight next? Angle's on the way to being a ful-fledged cripple. Booker T is getting older and slower with every passing day. Eddie still has some fire, but he can't carry Smackdown all by himself. Big Show is Side Show and a proven non-draw. And all the generic interchangable OVW steroids fucks are... well... generic interchangable OVW steroid fucks. They sure as hell ain't gonna draw the crowds back. Vince has booked himself into a corner on Smackdown.

Halloween Havoc 98 had a lot of crap, like the gashplastering blasphemy that was Warrior-Hogan II, but it also had the best match of Goldberg's life and a bunch of interesting midcard stuff. Who knew that Paul Wight could throw a dropkick off the top? Summerslam 98 is a forgotten gem as well. The main event proves once and for all that Undertaker could put on a really good match, Rocky finally took a couple of decent bumps, HHH proved he could have a good match with someone who wasn't either a Kliq member or Foley, and the rest of the card is damn fine: D-Lo/Venis, Jarret/XPac, Shamrock/Owen, etc.

Fuck all the fancy shit. In a fight, kick 'im in the nuts, chop 'im in the throat, poke 'im in the eye, and then run away. Anything extra is just begging to get stabbed or shot.

Sorry. Confused this thread with the breast cancer one in HD. Oh man I'm on drugs right now. (And was when I posted the post in question, too.)

He musta seen Bubba Ho-Tep. Well, there's another career gone down the privy.

The linguistic argument over exactly what to call people with relatively dark skin whose ancestry can be traced to Africa rages on, and won't be solved anytime soon. Personally, I just say "black" cuz I'm lazy and "african-american" is too damn many syllables.

The older I get, the more I find that 90% of what I learned in school is either forgotten or useless. I don't understand why most high schools require kids to take physical education but then make classes on things like balancing your checkbook or paying your taxes into mere electives. In my opinion, kids need less schooling and more training.

HHH vs Taka was on Raw. I love the Saturday shows, they've provided so many little hidden gems over the years. And since they use so many random indy workers as jobbers, at some point during most months I can get that special starfucker feeling of "hey, I know that guy on TV!"

My car doesn't start, my "liquor" is crappy wine that doesn't even get my whitebread ass drunk, and I have no wife, so have at it.

Everything would be fine until I ran out of cigarettes and went to go buy more. Then Muggy would suddenly discover that he's had terminal lung cancer for the past year and the kitten would spontaneously combust.

Holland & Sweden haven't been ignored because they terrorists like them. The extremist ideology followed by Al Quaeda and similar groups calls for the violent death of ALL nonbelievers. The simple fact is that those two countries are too small and too politically inactive to warrant any attention. Islamic terrorists have operated in or planned attacks on Canada, France, Britain, Germany, Spain, pretty much every major Western power. Which has been massively exaggerated time and time again. Those were UN sanctions. And they were the direct fault of Saddam Hussein, when he went back on his own word and repeatedly refused to follow the UN guidelines he accepted after his failed invasion of Kuwait. The US has been more helpful in moving forth the peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians than any other country in the world. The Muslim extremists have made no secret of the fact that they want to kill all the Israelis and take the land for themselves; America has simply helped stop that from happening. (And let's not forget that the Muslims invaded and stole the land from the Jews in the first place.) This is the only reason that even approaches a real mistake on the US's part, and even then it's a paper tiger, since brutal dictators like the Taliban gave the terrorists more aid and support than anyone. None of their reasons justify the mass murder of thousands of innocent civilians. Like I said earlier, WMDs tend to ignore invisible lines like international boundaries. If America falls, so does Canada.
