Black Lushus

I'm going to go ahead and say that Michael Chicklis (sp?), Julian McMahon and even Chris Evans saved this movie.

I just couldn't believe the lack of reaction...I mean, freaking Melina's entrance got no reaction.

now all we need is a Cornhusker to beat up a chick and all will be right with the sports world.

I think it's always in good taste for the former champion to hand the belt over and shake the victors hand following a hard fought match. Regardless of being a heel or a face. Showing respect where it's due is cool shit to see. When Benoit did it to Orton, it was a great visual, almost like passing the torch to the next generation of wrestlers (we won't get into the insuing title reign fuckup). That's what SHOULD have happened at WM between Rey and Angle...no Orton in the picture, just those two going all out and Angle handing the belt over to Rey and shaking hands, hugging, whatever.

well, let's let them actually talk first before we make assumptions.

well that's what I'm saying, they had enough challengers to stretch his reign as far is it was (WM6 to RR91), they just didn't book it correctly...he had a lackluster match at SSlam90 against a guy he was having great matches with just a year earlier (Rude). I'll try to come up with a better way of booking it a little later when I have more time...there probably should have been a match somewhere in there with Savage which would have lead up to him cheating Warrior out of the title at RR91 and the final blowoff at WM7. The booking they went with made no sense because it didn't lead Savage to a title match.

the live crowd seemed to enjoy the DX Reunion...maybe it's just my TV...

can't wait for the No Fun League to insititute a "No Motorcycles" clause at the next round of meetings. although, Ben R. was a total asshat for not wearing his helmet...

I'm here for ya 'Sault

his match with Rude at Summerslam should have been better than it was, if 1989 was any indication of things. As far as heels go, there was Earthquake, as UTSU mentioned, Mr. Perfect, Savage (who, ironically, he didn't fued with until AFTER he lost the belt) and wasn't Dibiase still around fulltime? They had plenty of heels for him to work with between WM and his loss to Slaughter at the Rumble.

ohhhhh no, you are NOT turning this thread into Star Trek talk!

silly Sci-Fi...they won't say shit when ECW gets them their best ratings ever.

so look forward to ECW vs. WWE type stuff for the next couple of weeks, gang...

but again, it falls back to the ECW title not being a real title...it's no better, honestly, than Bischoff creating a Raw title and simply giving it to HHH...I'm telling you, create an ECW belt and then hold an 8 man tourney in ECW...that would get the job done.

either way, the ECW belt will come off as cheap...like I said before, they should have just reinstated the old belt, had a tourney for it and brought Rhino back in to challenge for it as he was the last real ECW champ. I have a hard time believing that the WWE Title and all it's lineage will be transformed into the ECW Title with a new WWE Title being created.

he would have been better off just not sharing his story with us...admitedly, if there's more than 1 skateboarding punk, I would probably call the cops as well or plaza security or whatever. I'm not going to get jumped for some lousy job...I assume it's a lousy job if it requires him to carry trash outside to a dumpster.

well yeah, as of now RVD is the champ and Edge is the number one contender.

but you know that's not how it will go down...

New thread from Marvin: "Guys, I Got Beat Up Today"

well, they WERE impeding his progress at work...we already know he can't talk to women...what's he gonna do, threaten a bunch of skateboarding punks only to get jumped in front of a trash can?

I think he was being sarcastic...

you really REALLY should...I missed the first season but caught it all on On Demand before season 2 aired, it is a great show!

JK Simmons as Vern Schillinger...definently one of the best characters on Oz and the guy is flat out gold in pretty much everything he's in.

I guess this is one of those deals where you had to be there?
