Dangerous A

*Bump* Aw come on, there has to be more smark fantasy basketball players. They must all be scared because I made the Leaderboard last year and they couldn't dream of making it like DA could. For all of those who are already signed up, tell your friends to sign up too. It's a public group. The specs are on the first post. Let's get some competition around here.

I don't think WMXX needs to be a celebration of the past either. WMX was the first WM without Hogan headlining. They instead gave the show to more players for the future as well as the midcard and it turned into an immortal show. Same should happen here. Let the old foagies stay home.

The Wire, Season One. I know it's a newer show, but there is no reason it shouldn't already be out for DVD box set. Watch it and it will 0wn your face.

I can tell you I was watching SD with some old casual fans that WWE lost sometime in 2002 and when we saw the midget skit, I was embarassed to still be a fan. They remarked how they are GLAD to not watch anymore because they hated trying to explain stupid shit like that to non fans or casuals. Fuckin WWE.

While Cena's rhymes are ok for wrestling, he won't sell dick when it comes to albums. His album will flop in stores. He has no cred amongst hip hop fans and the wrestling fans will end up downloading it. Cena's rap style, like Game2705 said, is fucking whack. A lot of stalling and pausing. His flow is fucking terrible in terms of actual rapping. Since rapping is what would make this a commercial success, let me be the first to condemn this thing straight to hell, where it belongs. Hey Cena, stick to wrestling. You still need to master that as well.

My lineup for opening night. This could change if there are any last minute preseason injuries or if Shaq doesn't get the green light to play. PG Gary Payton, LAL DAL SG Emanuel Ginobili, SA SF Caron Butler, MIA PF Tim Duncan, SA C Shaquille O'Neal, LAL Cch Randy Ayers, PHI If Shaq is a no go, Stephon and Marion jump back in the mix.

I completely agree. The only reason Hogan is doing any of this (working with TNA, New Japan) is to try to maneuver himself into a spot on WMXX for another big payday. However, if he senses that WWE won't have get a big payday for WMXX (the way they are headed, I ain't payin for any show) then he'll stay and work TNA and/or New Japan. On another Observer note. New Japan approached Hogan with the proposal to make him booker in exchange for more frequent visits. Hogan wanted to test the waters in Japan on this show before committing to anything and is pushing for Inoki to come out of retirement for the 1/4/04 Dome show. (for those not in the know, 1/4 every year is when New Japan holds a Tokyo Dome show that is the NJ equivalent of WM) When Hogan faced Chono on 10/13 in the Dome, the stips were that if Chono lost, he'd give booking powers to Hogan. That was a semi shoot because of NJ's proposal.

Yes you should. I've ordered from him countless times as well as gotten tons of ebay auctions (still the best way to get bulk puro) but it does take time because of the border/customs issues. It's not GBT, it's Canada. Blame Canada!!!

Anyone pushing Jamie Kennedy or his retarded ass show needs to be beaten. I think I hate Jamie Kennedy more than anyone on TV right now. He's a total fuckhole. I'd give good money if I could get one good right hook on that son of a bitch.

Just some advice, I would get Shaq in there instead. He's playing the Mavericks, who have shit at the center position. Unless word comes out the last few days before the season that Shaq won't play in the season opener, you should put him in. The man has the ability to go for 50+ VGM's on opening night because the Mavs still haven't upgraded the center position.

Thank God I took Harrington with my last pick. I almost picked Griffin because he looked poised to have a breakout year.

I usually check cbssportsline or yahoo sports NBA sections for injury reports. Usually they update with the middle-high end player injuries.

My strategy is to always get at least 2 high end cash players and then trying to find 3 middle of the road guys who might match up well against certain opponents. I keep my eye on the Who's Hot/Who's Not list constantly looking for bargains.

I'd watch for pre season injuries to your guys, Cartman. If you get a DNP, that is one less player getting you VGM's. Your team for that day isn't locked until midnight of the day of the game, so you can tinker with your lineups for a bit before the game begins. A quick tip, always go low end for coaches unless you can for sure fit a good one in. Sometimes those 2-3 extra player value points make the difference between you selecting T-Mac or you selecting Iverson.

Just a reminder, it's a daily game. You are supposed to put a team together using players scheduled to play on that particular day the day before.

RIP, Stu. You were good to an industry that wasn't always good to you and for that, I salute you.

I see Cartman has joined. Good luck.

We'll see if money talks to Rob though. If they pay him more money to do whatever they want, chances are he'll take the deal. While all wrestlers would like to be pushed and maximize their potential, someone like RVD would have no problems being stuck in IC title level for more money. I just don't see the McMahon's giving him more money since they know they are the only big league show in town. Gotta love no alternatives!!

I could see WWE falling down to TNA levels in popularity in the next 2-3 years if McMahon-a-mania keeps running wild. For what it's worth, I hope TNA does emerge as a competitive #2. At least from a workers point of view. It sucks balls to try to negotiate and get lowballed by WWE because they are the only show in town. Again, I see WWE falling more than I see TNA moving up. TNA has their own problems as well.

Good for him. He should be a hardass about negotiations with this team of monkeys. He's had people against him since day one. Now his ability to draw and be viewed as a serious threat are in the shitter. I don't see him getting any more of a push, but he could at least get some cheddar out of these negotiations if WWE is really hard up to keep him. All in all, fuck the McMahon family.

I am about to wrap up Season 2 on DVD and will be primed and ready for Season 3 as it appears on TV instead of waiting for the seasonal DVD's. God Bless Jack Bauer.

Gay or not, I think Jim is fucking annoying. Then again, I get annoyed by spirited, cheerleader type of fuckholes, so I guess I might be biased against Ol'Jim.

I haven't payed for a WWE ppv since WMX8. I found a local sports bar that shows them with no cover charge. Every 2003 ppv this year has NOT been worth the price, including WM. No way in fucking hell they get my money for their shitty ass shows with McMahon-a-mania running wild this year. As RRR said, I have ordered 2 Pride shows this year. I will order a third on 11/9. :: Anxiously awaits GP Middleweight Finals ::

I know there is something along the lines of this on the page, but felt the need to critique the WWE writing team and Austin. Why did they have Austin come in to stick up for Stacy, then end up stunning her because she didn't like beer? Don't they know how stupid and hypocritical it looks to have Austin, a wifebeater, try to come to the aid of Stacy? This reeks of hypocrisy. The thing is Austin's wifebeating was reported on mainstream tv. So how hypocritical does it look when he "supposedly" comes out to save a woman from abuse when the son of a bitch does it for real? I just had to get that out there. Raw is despicable. So is Austin. While Austin has entertained me in many ways over the years, that doesn't prevent me from seeing what a piece of shit the man is.

That is a purely speculative argument. For all we know he just wants make a decent amount of money doing something less stressful on his already torn down body.
