That's because nobody wanted to cover that story and figure out how to spell "Bookaboom (real name Beukeboom, according to Google.) Another cheap shot I remember that would be all on Mike Wilbon's shit list was Dale Hunter on (I think) Pierre Turgeon back in '93... Yep, 93. Beukeboom. Needed Google for that? Yankee.

Airplane? Nope, you're thinking of "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue"

Can't believe no one made this reference yet, but: "I'd expect this type of language at Denny's, but not here"

Go on...

Bertuzzi certainly would have made a difference in the Westerm quarters. It came down to one goal, which I'm certain Bertuzzi would have a few of.

I love your signature. There should really be a picture of Phil Mickelson, there, however. His 2004 Masters win was extremely reminiscent of Benoit's WM victory.

I say, when the NHL does, Bertuzzi should. Here's why: 1) Bertuzzi is not a cold blooded psycho the media has made him out to be. Morre said something to him before Bertuzzi hit him. 2) Bertuzzi's apology seemed very genuine. 3) Hasn't he suffered enough? He missed the playoffs, which, ultimately, would have stopped Calgary(What, he wouldn't have scored one goal, which in the end became the difference) as well as what is now two Worlds and a World Cup. He lost six figures of pay in that time, and will have to give more when Moore, in all likelihood, sues him. But I'm calling for re-instatement Tuesday or Wednesday. Bertuzzi wiell lace em up for Canada this May, mark my words.

I thought that would elicit more of a response. So, see my new thread, but feel free to post IIHF WIHC stuff nyah.

That sounds right. He also didn't remember using the thumbtacks, as he was "knocked out on his feet".

TSN has all Canadian and playoff games. I would have to think ESPN 2 would have a few.

Texas has a problem with hobos or hippies? Well, I never!

Any picks, predictions, notes? I'm calling for Canada, The Czechs and the Swedes to take the podium. Dany Heatley will be the tournament's leading scorer, and, I'm calling it here, Todd Bertuzzi will play when a forward gets hurt.

What do you consider the second bump? The fall through the cage? I thought only the toss off the top was planned. As for the topic question, RVD vs Lynn at Hardcore Heaven 2000. RVD kicking out of the first cradle piledriver kills the mystique of the move, as well as Anton's interference.

I'm genuinely flattered. I'm in the same spot as Mandela and Gandhi.

Agreed. For historical reasons, Barely Legal and WM3 both belong on this list. Now, I have a different sort of approach to the topic. As opposed to 15 overall, why not 5 key ppv's from each fed? I'll post, but only 10, as I never really watched WCW. WWF/E: Wrestlemania 3-Billed as the biggest card of all time. Fair enough. Even if you hate Hogan, admit it. You marked out when he slammed Andre. And Savage Steamboat might be the best match of all time. Wrestlemania 10- I take that back. There's at least one. and many would say two, contenders for 'best of all time' with this show. Bret vs Owen was a truly classic match. And at the time, the Ladder Match was just unprecedented. Truly revolutionary. Wrestlemania 14- Quality matches up and down the card. A surprise return from the LOD, five great mid card matches, nostalgia from the Undertaker/Kane match. Most importantly, this helped turn the corner for the WWF, and without a doubt, officially marked the beginning of the Attitude Era with Austin's win. Summerslam 98- Again, some great matches across the board. Who would have said Edge as Sable's partner? Mankind was truly entertaining in the tag handicap match, a (semi) clean win over the Taker for Austin, and the title drop for the Rock helped springboard his career. And, sob, a time when HHH wasn't a glory hog. Wrestlemania X7- Little to no filler, probably the best work rate of any card I've ever seen. Nostalgia from the Gimmick Battle Royal, and a genuine surprise with Austin's turn. Great show all around. ECW Barely Legal- Show wasn't spectacular, but still very good, with lots of good matches. Find me one person who didn't love Funk getting the title, with a little help from Dreamer, finally getting revenge on Raven. Most of all, made ECW a household name. HeatWave 98- Unbelivable mid card. Lynn vs Credible was a quality opener(who knew it'd be a PPV main event two years later?) The Main event was solid, and RVD and Sabu vs Shinsaki and Hayabusa was incredible. And I didn't even mention Tanaka vs Awesome! Guilty as Charged 99- A great match with The Dudleys over Spike and New Jack, the first ever PPV encounter with Super Crazy and Tajiri, a brutal Stairway to Hell between Credible and Dreamer, and a good Main Event saw Taz defeat Shane. Massacre on 34th Street- Brutal bout after brutal bout. The PPV debut of what would have been a phenomenal team in York and Matthews, who lost to what also would have been a great team, Swinger and Simon. A great tag match with The Unholy Alliance vs Crazy and Kash. Incredibly good CW vs Dreamer match. Good main event, coupled with a great plot that saw the Sandman steal the belt afterwards. Guilty as Charged 01- Mostly for nostalgic reasons, but certainly a good show. Excellent 3 way tag dance for the #1 contendership, good revenge match between CW and Dreamer, great build of Rhino, a little humour sprinkled throughout the card, and a finish I honestly never saw coming.

Agreed. Will they continue? A July-December would be pretty good, I'd also love to see 97 and 98, 98 is my favourite year in wrestling ever. It's pretty sweet to read about the stuff I hadn't thought of in a while, and there's lots of stuff I never knew.

Saskatoon is in Saskatchewan, not Alberta.

No one has said Buckner yet?

What exactly is a potato shot? I assume it's working stiff in some capacity?

What did he say?

I like semi-called it....ok I didn't call it at all. I was at work and the Lakers and Pistons were set to play. And I said "Well maybe the Pistons can pull the upset!' and this guy i work with goes "Yeah right!" and I go "Yeah you're probably right......." but I had a glimmer of hope b/c of how much i hated LA. My dad predicted it all the way and he also said they would beat them quickly and bad. My golfing buddy said it right to my face. I outright called him a lying idiot. Mickelson to make the putt on 18 to win. Made that call at noon that wonderful Sunday. For some reason, I can always make a final four type close prediction, but can never finalize the deal.

If ever you could make a case for one man singlehandedly killing a franchise for years, Tremblay would be the guy. More Rejean Houle than Tremblay.

Sorry, I "was sniffing glue in the parking lot". A hearty pat on the back to anyone who can identify that movie.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely. I tend to side opposite Mike(not to be a dick, but he's clearly out arguing) but Bang Bang Bang wins, regardless of what is replied on other side. Good luck to you in your holy cause, CanadianGuitarist. May your choices have better results than mine. Remembered not as a messenger, remembered not as a reformer, not as a prophet, not as a hero...not even as Sebastian. Remembered only...as Jack. Huh?

Stop the presses, but I agree with Mike. It's time for Bret to let it go. I also agree with Hunter's Torn Quad to an extent, that it's brought up to often on WWF TV for Bret to let it go entirely. This is coming from the biggest Hart mark known to man. Vince was shitty to him and Bret has every right in the world to be pissed. But 'screwed' implied he would be unable to work again, or something to that effect. Vince was a dickhead, nothing more. Warrior, Lawler, Goldberg and HBK to answer the thread.
