Not the bracketing and matches, yet, but I'd say these would be good contenders to be in the show. Gomi Shogun Hendo Fedor Silva Noguiera Noguiera Aleks Busta Sakuraba Kharitonov Arona Rampage Sakurai Yoshida Cro Cop

Yeah, a mod that has a large ignore list doesn't make much sense to me.

Look at his arm. My god the POWER.

I only saw a lil bit of it, but are they trying to make Victoria/Torrie/Candice into Mean Girls? They're like 50. Masters/Benjamin was almost passable. HHH managed to get over _more_ on the flubb, though his recovery disappointed me because he went right back to whatever he scripted for himself. Cena might be the most over heel in the company. The blood effect with Cena dripping on Angle was nice, it's clear the WWE is trying to fight against the boos with Cena, but the rap and the yelling didn't work. Wow Sheldons Mama was exactly what I think everyone expected her to be. They can't even write the stereotype well. "Don't you be eyeballin me"?? Good lawad. Styles really sucks at the hard sell. The cast won't get over, it didn't when Taker used it, it won't now. Why is anyone supposed to care about the Elimination Chamber? God this show sucks.

From Pride's Website... Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic vs. Mark Hunt Wanderlei Silva vs. Ricardo Arona Fedor Emelianenko vs. Zulu Takanori Gomi vs. Hayato Mach Sakurai Dan Henderson vs. Murillo Bustamante Hidehiko Yoshida vs. Naoya Ogawa Yuki Kondo vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura Makoto Takimoto vs. Sinae Kikuta This is what I like to call "A lil somethin for everyone".

Saw it, liked it, wasn't knocked back by it like the last few PRIDEs that I've seen. Hunt/Cro Cop had some sick moments in it.

Yeah, the DVD needed Fillion and Joss on commentary. I didn't enjoy Josses commentary nearly as much as I have on other things, and I think a suitable drinking game would be 1 shot every time Joss talks about how they didn't have enough money. "He is our friend, we should honour him" and Jewel breaking down laughing were highlights of the awesome gagreel.

4) On the amateur wrestling arguement...does Dan Severn count on the 'terrible' list? What does Angle even bring from amateur wrestling anyway? The pointless body-scissors rest-hold? I dunno if you're talking about a terrible amateur wrestler in general, or a terrible job translating amateur wrestling in pro wrestling, but Dan Severn kicked ass in UWF-i. Angle couldn't touch that stuff. And Severn is one of the most decorated wrestlers I've heard of, the dude was legit.

Posting With Shadows The story of a man who believes in smarks, in a world where the anti-smark is king

You know, it really fucking sucks that you're stealing heat away from me. I just had to say that. Once upon a time, some in the WWE folder were called RRR Clones and yes-men as erroneously as people -INCLUDING ME!!!- are being called HTQ yes-men. This is so very wrong. People used to be willing to have themselves banned if it meant I would be banned as well. THAT'S HATRED! I put in more time here, dammit! I have tenure! I deserve that heat! BAH!!!

Well, look at it this way - they're giving GSP/BJ more exposure by putting it on SPIKE (if it turns out to be true). They probably don't see that match as the money match, they see Hughes vs. Winner as the money match.

I was told by a high-ranked cable executive that the flowerpot in question bought 13 PPVs in 2004. God you can be silly sometimes. As if a flowerpot would spent its hard-earned money on WWE PPVs.

Of course, the fact that the WWE books their title(s) better than WCW doesn't necessarily mean that I care about it or who holds it more.

Oh man, the WCW title must've changed at least 20 times in 2000. And about 90% of that was in the first 6 months.

BJ Penn Interview: “There’s a bunch of fights we want to do,” he said excitedly. “We’ll do two for sure. I’m training for an April fight with Georges St. Pierre. I think it will be on one of the Ultimate Fight Nights [on Spike TV]. If I beat Georges and I beat Hughes again, then I want to move up to middleweight and fight [reigning UFC 185-pound champion] Rich Franklin. I talked with the UFC. Everyone thinks it’s a good idea. Now, it’s just up to me to do it.”

See, Orton broke the metaphorical flowerpot that was the connection between the fans and the WWE. Jesus fucking christ, both are issues of professionalism and the lack thereof and the WWE's treatment of both. If you can't see that connection I am amazed you know the connection between the power button and how it turns on your computer. Orton could be found covered in blood with a dead hooker in the other room and if the WWE was pushing him there wouldn't be any effect to his career. Meanwhile, if someone they aren't concerned about pushing steps on an ant, they'd find cause for dismissal. That this incident had a direct impact on the fans would be of a certain amount of concern because it reflects how the WWE sees YOU. This just reinforces the notion that they don't give a fuck about their fans, as if watching their television wasn't enough of an indicator. But hey, "Eddie did worse!" so whatever. As if that's a reasonable response.

Remember when they fired Rhyno for breaking a flower pot? This is where the WWE's priorities lie, disrespecting a flower pot is more taboo than disrespecting the consumer.

Wait... That isn't his line of work right now?

How does the dog have more personality than Torrie?

Let's not forget about the Yaks, Squaks, and Squizzaks.

See, WCW was like Homer Simpson from Seasons 2-7. In other words, they were lovably dumb. WWE is like Homer Simpson Seasons 8-20, frustratingly "STOP GRINNING LIKE AN IDIOT!!!" dumb.

SNOOCHIE BOOCHIES. C'mon!! When I first heard Madden, I was like "Holy Crap, that dude just doesn't give a fuck!" because he was all shooty and shit, but then I realized he was a tool shed. Though he did say "FLY FATASS FLY!" when Hugh Morris went up top, so there's bonus points.
