Black Lushus

Damn, Lushus went all cold. aww come ON gold...have you read some of her posts?

did he have DDP on the payroll yet? Booker T/DDP would have went over a little bit better...but still, they'd have to keep it out of ME slot...THAT was the biggest problem...

you can have buffy...given the stuff she posts about, I can't imagine her being a prime cut choice.

true, I was more looking at it from the Obi-Wan aspect...

ha! hidden boss found only in the US version!

what level is the Cougar Boss on? gotta be level 2?

But before you get to the fat chick, if you run on the roof of the mine shaft long enough, you get to three pipes. If you take the one on the far right, you can skip to level 4: clingy w/emotional issues girl.

Dude, after reading this I almost spit my coffee I was laughing so hard. haha! see that's marriage for you...she gets to watch the 52" widescreen upstairs while I get sent to the regular 32" TV downstairs...

going back a bit, even though Vader was an older human, both Palpatine and Dooku managed to move around with more grace than Vader/Obi-Wan...of course, that's thanks to stunt men and CGI, but still... the "scream as Luke falls" was taken out for the 2004 ESB DVD...thank god

I saw it for the first time today so its out of context and all but the match itself isnt half as bad as some people make it out to be. I was expecting a train wreck like that awful intergender match in 2002 (or 03) with Jackie Gayda and Trish Stratus. Cant remember who the males were but it was awful. Booker vs Buff was very much acceptable according to me - as a wrestling match that is. no, you're right, it wasn't a bad match, but like I said, I don't think the WWF crowd was buying what Vince was trying to sell...not as the ME anyway...if it would have went on earlier, it probably would have been received a tad better.

I pretty much agree with the star ratings Lushus gave to the previous duels on the series. I also loved the ones from TPM, which some people said are too choreographed. I say so what? They looked awesome, the score was terrific, and other than the most recent Obi-Wan vs Vader on ROTS, they're the best in the entire new series. The ones in the original trilogy brought the drama, if not the workrate if I dare say so. The climatic duel on ROTS brought both the drama AND the workrate IMO, so I'll give it a good 'ol ****1/2 to boot, but I'll leave it to Lushus to provide the play-by-play and his own rating. What do you say, Lushus? Feel like channelling Scott Keith again? shit, I'm better than Scott Keith! you know, poch, it's funny...i went back and read that and realized I totally forgot to review those fights...I'll try to get them when I get home today. as far as "too choreographed" goes, I think it's because the Luke/Vader duels weren't all flippy floppy with 90 strikes a minute and that's what people were used to going in to TPM. You can chalk it up to several things: -Vader hasn't had to fight in the same manner since he didn't have anymore Jedi to fight against so his skills got a little rusty...plus he was getting on in years. (though Yoda contradicts that, I suppose) -Luke was nowhere near that level in ESB and was only on the cusp on being a Jedi in ROTJ. -Jedi are trained in the ways of the lightsaber at a very young age so it's conceivable to think that they are just that good by the time they are adults.

I think it was the fact that no one cares for Buff Bagwell and it was a WCW match in the ME slot of a WWF show.

he did a song that's on the same album as the Nirvana goof where he does a medley of songs that were popular at that time and does it all in Polka...it's great! EDIT: which was Polka Your Eyes Out, as Dubs already covered...

nokia IS a moron, so Hotbutter does kinda have a point...

can't argue with you there.

hey man, Paul Wight was doing kip ups (assisted) and drop kicks before he became the fat man we see today!

Actually, I didn't even like that part. I found the duel to be too choreographed. For my money, the best duel in the entire saga is Luke vs. Vader in ESB. no doubt...go back to the very first post in this thread...I gave each one on one (or two on one in some cases) star ratings a la wrestling matches and I said why I felt the Luke/Vader ESB battle was the best in the saga.

I fully admit that the only thing I watch on TPM is the fight between Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and Darth Maul.

what's brilliant about it is that he bashes chazz and praises him all in the same post.

hahaha! fat chick is the boss of level 1

I think having him be 12 or 13 would have been the way to go...he could be hotheaded, argumentative, disrespectful yet still show the abilities to totally WOW Qui-Gon Jinn and the other Jedi. and they should have had him actually PILOT something in the presence of Obi-Wan so that way his line to Luke about being impressed with Anakin's piloting skills when he first met him makes sense.

but they're not gods and have never been portrayed as such...guys like Magneto and Apocalypse were able to wipe out the entire team by themselves...they have their weaknesses...Colossus is no Incredible Hulk or even The Thing.

WP has pride? I thought he gave that up by now with all his posting silliness.

the comics balanced out the powers so that they weren't always a super team...it was rare for Rogue and Colossus or Rogue and Angel to be on the team at the same time. If they were all in the same storyline like X-cutioners Song, they were always split up.

while you're probably right, if you think the gay agenda with MTV is "alleged", you need to watch MTV a bit more. Okay, I don't recommend anyone watch a lot of MTV, but when the wife hogs the TV, sometimes you don't have a choice...I usually just go down to the basement at that point.
