I don't mind when Rome does it. Probably because I only listen to 1-2 segments per day. 3 hours of Rome in one sitting would probably make me go nuts. yeah, I catch Rome for the 10 minutes it takes to go home for lunch and the 10 minutes it takes to come back...good enough for me. I never watch his show, ever.

sorry, my comment was really just a Culpepper dig.

now wait a sec, I did say I'd go an hour before opening...this one opens at 7 so...

so other than that Culpepper thing, Miami is a pretty smart team, no?

Batista was a good short term champion, but not a guy that can carry a brand...at least not as a face.

well yeah...04 was the buildup year, 05 after the HBK match should have been THE year, but with Batista and Cena suddenly becomming mega-popular, Shelton's lack of anything BEYOND ringwork was probably what held him back. The WWE, where ringwork doesn't matter...

Eeeww! I can't tell if you're really grossed out by the sappiness, or if you're being facetious. I'll find the original thread. http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=51421 OH, Marney. Further proof of the quality posters moving to The Pit. So, why not post over there? It's not like anybody will miss you here, except niskie. I'm pretty sure she's not even remotely serious...

I wouldn't go THAT far...however, his Gold Rush match with HBK SHOULD have been the catalyst for a boost into the ME scene...they went in the completely opposite direction and ruined him.

Same here well, considering I was on the 2nd half of my 20s when I started, it really perplexed them...seeing me up there with kids as young as 10!

I don't think he means so much the acting skills themselves as opposed to choosing regular kids for the roles rather than actual actors.

I've never discounted the Patriots, myself...all season long they've been my sleeper Superbowl pick. Belichick is too good of a coach and Brady is too good of a QB to discount.

speaking of obscure Sega CD games, Snatcher was one of the best games I've ever played and I believe Sega CD was the only US console to get it. It's a point and click type detective game based in the future (premise is similar to Blade Runner) from the Metal Gear Solid production team. I still regret selling it off.

that's what I'm going to do Sunday am, I think...there's a Super Target about 5 minutes away from me...I'll head over about 5:30ish and hang out for a bit.

They don't do the lotto thing or whatever it is? I'm debating on whether or not I'd stick around for that.

I fully expect Kennedy to get the Orton treatment this year at Armageddon.

so I wonder if v.2 had any luck? and no Conker's BFD? DAMN!

the brand extension isn't the problem...pushing new people and proper booking is the problem.

Umaga won't get it...he'll have been shunted back to the midcard by then.

Patriots post 9/11 Saints post Katrina gotta love it, America!

I'm amazed it's taking THIS long...now what do us IWC dorks have to say about it?

haha you're right! I guess a part of me was just hoping that wouldn't be the case THIS time!

it would be Eugene awful...we'd have Dancing Samoan v.2. I mean, I can see Vince didn't want to be accused of ripping off Samoa Joe so he made this fella a savage, but come on.

I'm more worried about that note from the last thread about choreographers being hired to create individual ring entrances for the "divas"

wouldn't CM Punk in the Cruiserweight division be a huge step in the WRONG direction?

Umaga is a good heel in the Intercontinental/US title sense...he does not belong in the main event of a PPV. If he was just presented as a bad ass dude that happens to be samoan, maybe, but not as a savage samoan warrior.
