The Royal Rumble DVD will likely just be totally edited garbage like the Wrestlemania set. Hopefully they'll sell them individually, because my copy of the '88 show is like 100th generation and nearly unwatchable. My copy of all the others on VHS are fine. Interesting to see though if they are the original PPV versions, or just rehashes of the VHS sets. The VHS releases of 89, 90, and 91 are all missing matches, and have some edited.

"Natuaral Causes" almost always means that the guy died of some humiliating condition and the family just wants to save face.

Does anyone know or remember the exact details behind the story of him assaulting Vince and getting fired?

Heh, Kidman was the biggest name on a D-Level Indy Show I was at here in Connecticut about 2 months back, so that's where he's at now career wise these days.

I was just about to post this. Here is the entire post she wrote on the subject "Hey everybody! Well, I have decided to let you in on a secret that I have been holding in for much too long. I am very heartbroken to say that I am in the stages of a divorce. It makes me incredibly sad to say this and I hope that you will respect me and my privacy at this really difficult time. This is just something that has been eating at me for some time now, and I feel it's best to hear it straight from me rather than read it somewhere else. I think I have made things harder on myself by pretending that everything is fine and dandy to the outside world. I just pray that by opening up about this now, it might be easier to move forward in my life journey. I just want to tell all of you that you have helped me so much more than you will ever know with your kind words without even knowing it. When I am feeling really down, reading the nice things you have to say has brought a smile to my face. That truly means the world to me and I will never forget it. I really do love and appreciate all of you......sunny skies ahead!"

Damn shitty bookstores here didn't even put this on the shelves today. Nothing at all between a Borders, a Waldenbooks, and a Barnes and Noble, and nothing but confused looks when I asked for it. Maybe I will just order online.

Surprised this didn't get posted yet. According to Fthe French Media yesterday, Saudi Intelligence is reporting that Bin Laden is either dead or dying from a serious infection, possibly typhoid. US and French officials are denying the rumors, obviously due to the lack of credible evidence which will likely never surface. The story is getting some pretty big mainstream coverage though, including the lead story on NBC News tonight, so there's obviously something to it. Obviously Bin Laden hasn't released and video or audio recordings in some time, and his absence particularly in regards to the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 should raise some questions. If you ask me, this was only a matter of time, I mean how long could a guy who supposedly has severe Kidney Disease and is on the run while on dialysis, last? In the grand scheme of things, it's also probably best that he go out this way, rather then have his death turn into some sort of insane Media Circus like Saddam's will end up being. We don't need Bin Laden getting any more coverage and turning into anymore of a Martyr then he has already become.

but the Katie Vick stuff wasn't the focal point of advertising for a full week, and at least served a purpose. It's fucking cable, WWE probably could have convinced the advertisers and Sci-Fi to let them flash a titty if they had wanted to, as long as they rate the show TV-MA and air warnings throughout the show, and if they really gave a shit about sparking controversy, they would have, but Vince has his head too far up his ass to ever realize.

Jesus lord have mercy, this Diva Strip Poker deal was WITHOUT A DOUBT, the dumbest, pointless, fucking waste of time segments WWE has done EVER. Between the hype they gave this shit and the amount of time they devoted to it on the show, this has to rank amongst the all time worst segments in pro-wrestling history. Only fucking WWE would mosaic out naked women when they're clearly wearing pasties and flesh colored panties. I really hope UFC destroys this shit in the ratings, even if they weren't head to head, and UFC sucked tonight, but compared to this garbage it might as well have bee Tyson / Holyfield.

http://www.ph-online.net/whiteandnerdy.zip This is actually pretty meh. I've been a fan of Al's work for years, but it seems to be steadily declining with each new album. The other song released from his new CD, Don't Download This Song, was pretty entertaining, but this song isn't that funny, and is pretty much derivative of his Puff Daddy parody a few years back, but then I don't think anyone ever tries to accuse Al Yankovic of originality too often since most of his popular songs are about TV or Food.

Did Michelle McCool have a nipple slip during the tag match? I know at one point she seemed to be desperately scrambling to pull up her shirt, but it was too fast to see anything. Did anyone else catch William Regals cock slip? Ugh.

I saw this tonight myself. I hate hate hate hate HATED the 2003 remake. I thought it was just the most terrible unnecessary god awful piece of shit movie I've ever seen, and didn't see any redeeming value in it at all. That being said, I didn't hate this. I didn't really like it either, but at least it told a coherent story and delivered on the gore and violence. Catch this one in a Matinee if you HAVE to see it, otherwise, wait for the DVD.

Here is how I interpret Meltzer-ese in this situation. Either: A. Booker T and Lashley's matches at the house shows have been stinking up the ring and they're desperate or B. They're hitting the panic button and just putting the belt back on Batista already or C. Serious injury or drug test failure necessitating Finlay becoming a transitional champ. I'm hoping for C myself, but we'll see.

So yeah, I missed this one in theaters, but had heard about it and finally got to rent it last night. I must say, except for maybe Hostel, this is easily the most disturbing film I've seen so far this year. There's really not even a whole lot to the film, but the tremendous acting is what puts it over the top. The movie just fucks with you in so many ways, you know good and damn well that Jeff is a pedo who is soliciting children, but at the same time, Haley is such a conniving bitch that the film almost does a 180 and makes you feel bad for Jeff, and you begin to hope that he gets to just fucking butcher her. The ending is fucked up too, although I would have at least liked to see them film the alternate ending that you really would have liked to have seen. Oh well, dfeinitely check this one out, it's a mind fuck and a half.

The Terminator 2 set in the metal slipcase is about as definitive as anyone could ever possibly want, although I think it lacks commentary from Cameron or Schwartzenegger, but what are you gonna do?

Hassan being choke slammed to hell. Demolition jobbing to jobbers at Wrestlemania in a 2 minute squash. Razor Ramon getting destroyed by Vader on Pay Per View in '96.

WWE.com is reporting the release of Kid Kash. That seems kind of random.

WWE doesn't even fucking have 8 women capable of working a match. They have MAYBE 3 tops. Victoria is probably the best of the lot and Mickey James is at least competent. Lita has never been a good worker. I suppose you could make a case for Melina being able to work, but that's a stretch. What a fucking joke.

Never at any point did I believe that Jericho wouldn't be back. He just seems the type that has to preform in front of a crowd, he needs the rush, and can't stand to sit home and do nothing. Plus the fact that he hasn't had a whole lot of success with his outside ventures almost guarantees a return at some point.

Dana Carvey as Tom Brokaw recording news reports of the death of Gerald Ford "Gerald Ford is dead today after being eaten by wolves, he was delicious" "Gerald Ford dead today of an overdose of crack cocaine" "Gerald Ford shot dead today by police after robbing a convenience store" "Gerald Ford is dead, and I'm gay"

I figured there had been a thread on this previously, but the search feature on the board is so shitty that I couldn't find it.

Really though, if Russo IS the big surprise, and they DO get a better timeslot, then this is essentially The Last Stand of TNA. It's do or die time, and this will be their last opportunity to hit one out of the park, or they're done. If Russo doesn't improve the creative end in any way shape or form, and they can't pull higher then a 1.0 in Primetime, then Spike is just going to drop them for something more profitable that will get better ratings. MacGyver reruns anybody? Personally, I think this is going to be the death sentence for TNA. Russo has proven to only be marginally decent only when filtered through Vince McMahon, and has been, for all intents and purposes, creatively bankrupt since about 1999. Even if TNA isn't losing money anymore, if they get dropped by Spike, then forget it, it's over.

Vince Russo? What a fucking joke. This company is going down the tubes faster then WCW, and it's a real shame too.

The people that really end up screwed in college are those who, like myself, are just so socially awkward and have such anxiety about it that unless someone approaches you, or you get smacked in the face with a can't-miss opportunity, then you're not going to end up talking to anyone. I just can't approach people, it doesn't work for me. It's not that I'm ugly, or not interesting, it's just that I don't have the confidence and it's just really awkward for me to attempt to randomly drum up conversation. I guess it's just a skill that some of us lack.

Linda's a heel. Unless they completley forget about her firing J.R., and kicking him in the groin. Which won't happen because according to WWE booking, nobody remembers past last week.
