I think I might go to the movies tonight, I'm torn between this and Munich though.

JBL vs Boogeyman

Hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but I'm on the lookout for a copy of WCW Collision in Korea. Does anyone here have it that would be willing to dub me a copy for minimal cost? If you wanna trade, I've got some stuff for that too, I just got a copy of When Worlds Collide and Heroes of Wrestling, and I have tons of other WWE / WCW / NWA stuff as well. Thanks.

I remember reading at the time of The Longest Yards release that Meltzer called this guy one of the worst wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring.

I was talking to a friend tonight, and we were talking about how frequently both ECW and WCW would run really good PPVs, and then would have main events that were so overwhelmingly terrible that you would forget how good the rest of the show was. Great example, Halloween Havoc 1998, 3 matches over ***, but that cage match between Piper and Hogan was so god awful that no one even remembers which matches were good, just how bad the cage match was. Or any number of ECW shows where Sabu would main event and stink up the place. Even WWE has done this with shows like Summerslam 1994. The cage match is great, so is the IC Title match, but Undertaker vs Undertaker is like a black hole of suck, sucking the memories of all the good stuff out of your mind. What other good examples are there of good shows that are forgotten because of awful main events?

I was actually at this show tonight as well, and those results are all correct, I was shocked as everyone else to see Mark Henry interfere and Batista take the pinfall. The Velocity stuff was outstandign as usual, until the LOD nonsense anyway. Even Mexicools vs The Dicks, Benoit vs Orton, and the ME were all very good matches. The stuff with Melina though was just rediculous. Boogeyman got easily the second loudest pop of the night behind Batista, so take that for what you will.

I was AT this show tonight, and boy was it a stinker. The crowd started out hot, but there was literally 40+ minutes between matches, including the Kurt Angle interview where he draws cheap, unescessary heat, the Kurt Angle Non-Match, and the 20 minute Edge segment. It picked up a bit when Cena came out, but no one was really interested in the match, we were more interested in doing the battling chants for Shelton and Cena. I'm not sure if it came off on TV, but when they started rolling out the carpet for the Triple H segment, everyone, myself included, took that as a chance to hit the bathroom. After the Kane match, people started looking at their watches and realized that the Vince Mcamhon segment was the only thing left, so at that point literally half the arena packs up and leaves. I stuck around for the whole thing, including the stpuid Cena vs Angle bonus match whihc only went to a bullshit DQ anyways. WWE better clean up their fucking act, because when even the hardcore dedicated marks who buy every piece of merchandise, order every PPV, and go to every show start chanting boring and bullshit, then you're quickly going to have nothing left as WCW learned.

Dammit, where is my MacGyver and Knight Rider movies?

Leisure Suit Larry

I caught this one after work tonight, and it's refreshing to see Carrey return to the physical comedy he's famous for. While the movie probobly would be a little more timely a year or two ago, since the whole Corporate White Collar Greed boat has long since sailed, it is still fairly relevent. I'm unfamilliar with the original, although I did read that it wasn't particularly successful or good, so I don't know how it compares, but this is a still a very funny film with great preformances from both Carrey and Tea Leoni, although the whole idea of them seeing burglary as a logical source of income isn't believable in any possible way. Still a very funny, well written film though. This will probobly do great buisness at the Box Office this weekend, and I truely hope it shits all over that new Johnny Knoxville piece of shit that somehow managed to escape from the bowels of the development hell it had been sitting in for 4 years.

Bill O'Reilly should have been man of the year. Bill O'Reilly kicks ass.

1. Dick Clark *Best Bet* 2. Fred Phelps *Best Bet* 3. Muhammed Ali 4. Betty White 5. Bea Arthur 6. Ruben Studdard 7. Osama Bin Laden 8. Stephen Hawking 9. Jerry Lewis 10. Saddam Hussein 11. Billy Graham 12. Ladybird Johnson 13. Gerald Ford 14. Ozzy Osbourne 15. Ariel Sharone 16. Charlton Heston 17. Michael Moore 18. Walter Cronkite 19. Bob Barker 20. Maury Povich

I don't see the love for Val Venis. They've tried pushing him, they've tried changing his gimmick, they've tried turning him heel, none of it really worked in any sort of significant way, he probobly should have just given up after the Right to Censor feud ended.

I still check out Keiths blog every once in a while, and he seems like the type to me that although he says he doesn't watch taht much WWE anymore, he really only says that because that's the smark stniment at the moment, but secretly he watches every minute of RAW and Smackdown, AND downloads Heat and Velocity, and masturbates to it all.

WHile WWE isn't quite to the point yet where WCW was where they would actually run PPVs with no mention of said PPV at all untill the Thunder before the show where they might shoot an angle for the main event, and then decide on the rest of the card at random, hours before the show, they're getting close.

1. Sadly, John Tenta 2. Mae Young 3. Bobby Heenan 4. Nick Dinsmore 5. Matt Capotelli 6. Joanie Lauer 7. Jeff Hardy 8. Bushwhacker Luke (Wasn't he in extremely poor health at one point?) 9. Scott Steiner 10. Tammy Sytch

Im not saying he is lesser known per-se, but to put it in a wrestling context, If Freddy Krueger is Hulk Hogan, and Jason is The Ultimate Warrior, adn the year is 1990, then Michael Myers is Randy Savage. Very popular upper card draw, but still not quite in the same league as the top guys.

If they're really that determined to do a sequal, just do Freddy vs Jason 2 and give it a definitive ending, that's what everyone wants to see, none of this triple threat horse shit featuring characters for lesser movies. Even if they can't decide on a definitive ending, you could at least film an ending where Freddy wins, an ending where Jason wins, or one where they both get killed, kind of like Clue where each time you see the movie, you might get a different ending. I still wanna see the Nightmare prequal though with Freddy as the creepy child molestor.

They made us run midnights of both Narnia AND Kong where I work, susprisingly Narnia did better buisness, drawing about 60 people compared to the 25 that came out to see Kong. I didn't catch all of the movie, but the parts that I saw didn't really excite me. Too much CGI for one thing. The movie is also way too rediculously long, clocking in at well over 3 hours, nearly twice the length of the original, and from what I saw the film is heavy on extended scenes and sequences that are mainly for visual effects or minor chracter development, rather then giving the film any more substance. It's just long for the sake of being long. I did catch the full ending though, including the chase through New York, which again was fun, but not that thrilling to me.

On a related note, I've never gotten higher then a C ona ny paper I've ever written for any class ever about or related to Wrestling.

What's worth the most is the original Acclaim Titles like Extreme G and Iggys Wreckin Balls, because those could still be repackaged and sold to idiots. Stuff like WWF and The Simpsons is worthless though, since you'd only own the rights to the specific NES, SNES, N6, etc. games in question, not for the specific license. So yeah, you own the rights to WWF Warzone for N64, and you can produce copies of WWF Warzone for N64 until you're blue in the face, but you couldn't sell copies of it on any other system besides N64. I wonder if they're open to any offers? I would seriously like to inquire about bidding ont he rights to Total Recall for NES just for the sake of saying I own the total rights to one of the worst pieces of garbage of all time. I wouldn't pay anymore then a couple hundred for it though, and since all the bids so far are in the thousands, I'd probobly be SOL.

When he does discounts and specials for new subscribers, WON is a great deal, but normally, I've always found it to be too expensive.

While I do agree for the most part with this statement, I think it's actually the fact that he basically did take his fathers small regional territory and turned it into the #1 wrestling promotion in the country in a very short span of time that led to this. It really didn't take Vince years at all to build up the WWF. He took over in late 83, took the belt off Backlund within a couple of months, put the belt on Hogan a month after that, and it just took off from there. After the Rock and Wrestling Connection and Wrestlemania became such a huge success a year later, Vince had already firmly established that in less then a year and a half in control of his fathers wrestling promotion, he had taken to the top of the industry and was not only #1 but was also for the most part the only game in town left for most of the country.

Nice to hear the company I work for seems to insist on having seven concession stands at their new theaters when the refuse to allow us to spend the payroll to keep even the one at the theater I manage adequatly staffed.

Logistically it doesn't even make much sense to get rid of Bischoff. I mean they have the guy on Contract, what else could they do with him? I mean they could use him in a backstage creative role, but on screen he doesn't seem as though he'd lend himself too well as a mouthpiece manager, or any other role besides even owner.
