Garcia over Pellegrino RNC in Round 2.

TRIGG’S TAKE: MY FINAL PRIDE (thefightnetwork.com) By Frank Trigg After a great win at PRIDE 33, I made broadcast history by commentating directly after my fight, and then fought again about 35 days later in ICON. I got KOed by Robbie Lawler and had to travel right from Hawaii to Japan for PRIDE 34 – and what could be my final commentating experience with an organization I had cultivated a strong relationship with. First, understand that Lawler had hit me a lot so both my eyes are blue, black and yellow as I fly over. My body is stiff from the fight, but I have other thoughts on my mind. This will be the last PRIDE promoted by Dream Stage entertainment (DSE) and I don’t know what to quite expect. Let’s add into the mix that Sean Wheelock is the forth partner I had to work with in the last four shows and we are going live from Japan on PPV. I will try to give you a little insight. Sean and I get along great right form the start. He is a great play-by-play host. He does a lot of soccer, including the World Cup. We find our pace and then we hang out enough to learn each other’s style so we can do a great show. We sit down and go over our six-minute opening and get it right and tight. There will be two fights that will not be on the PPV show, so while they play out, Sean and I are supposed to start our opening from upstairs and then run to ringside for the third, but opening fight of the broadcast. This is the point where a great production team that speaks the same language is very important. About two minutes before we go live, our producer Gerry Millen is arguing with the production truck. Understand the production truck only speaks Japanese and Gerry only speaks English (and poorly I might add). This takes a long time. Only a minute and thirty seconds in real time, but a very long time in live TV time. “At 30 seconds to you,” an assistant calls out. This means the director is yelling to us that in 30 seconds we are live. The truck and Gerry are still trying to figure something out. “15 seconds to you.” “14, 13…” They are still talking. “Six seconds to you.” Just then, Gerry yells, “You have to cover for 30 minutes.” “4, 3, 2, 1, live.” When the director does the countdown, they hold their fingers out as they count down, but don’t ever say the two or the one. Let’s step back for a minute. Sean and I set up a six-minute intro. Now we need 30 minutes of intro. The show started late in Japan so we had to cover over the “Butterbean” [Eric Esch] fight that was still going on. We have earpieces in our ear so we could hear production - but the problem is that production never checked the levels. So when Gerry was yelling at us we could only hear a really loud Charlie Brown teacher. At one point, I have to pull out my earpiece. This by far way the toughest time I ever had. I truly had to test my knowledge of the fighters and MMA as I spoke because it was all off the top of my head. Usually it is an easier time. We are on tape delay so we are more relaxed and if something is said that needs fixing we can fix it. However, I never make a mistake. Just ask me and I will tell you. We get through the rest of the broadcast without much problem. As the event came to a close, we couldn’t escape the sad feeling all of us felt once we realized this was the last time DSE would be running PRIDE. I will never forget the ring full of fighters both past and present, a crying Sakuraba, the solemn look on Kato, Reoko, and Yoshi’s face. You have never heard of these people or seen them for that matter. They are very important to the company and were with the company for a very long time. I, in all likelihood, will never see these people again. When we were checking out of the hotel the next morning I said my “see you laters” to everyone. It really did not hit me until I was at the airport that I would not see most of those people again. It truly made me cry. All of us knew that this was the end of an era and it will never be repeated. I can’t really do it justice with written words. All I can say is watch and see for yourself. Nobody will understand until you do. A new era has begun in the great world of MMA. Hold on ladies and gentleman. It will move fast and it will amaze you. POSTED -- 05/01/07

I am still holding out hope. Hope for a better world.

So I'm watching the UFC 63 DVD's special features and... damn I miss Rachelle.

DeSouza making Noah cry was tremendous. He got grapple raped. Bitch got Graped. Turnin purple and er'ting. Penns detachment from his team is great, specially in juxtaposition with Jens love for his. You get the feeling that Jens would take a bullet for his team, whereas Penn would move out of the way and then laugh hysterically when one of his team members gets shot instead. And No Beef stole the show, for reals.

ripped (rĭpt) adj. Slang. 1. Having an extremely defined physique; toned: ripped, bulging muscles. 2. Intoxicated by alcohol or a drug.

No, wait. When Present Hiro B returns, he will then create Timeline C. (as new time lines are created in every jump), and Future Hiro A will still be in Future B until it gets destroyed by the creation of Timeline C. Future Hiro C is then also created.

Future Hiro A goes into Present Hiro B's time. He cannot go back to Future Hiro A's past ("Present Hiro A"), because that would mean that Present Hiro A would have met Future Hiro A in Timeline A, therefore Future Hiro A would have knowledge of meeting Future Hiro A in the past when he was Present Hiro A. But he didn't. So, when Future Hiro A went into the past, he created a new time line (Timeline B). Since it seems Future Hiro A has no memory of the cheerleader being saved, whereas Present Hiro B (and therefore Future Hiro B) did, then that means Future Hiro A is in Timeline B, which is essentially a temporary future where he waits until Present Hiro B lives through it and becomes Future Hiro B and Timeline A has been destroyed by him changing the timeline. When something big changes in the timeline to effect Future Hiro B (namely, the bomb exploding in New York and killing Ando) he will be destroyed and in his place will be Present Hiro B.

Aw geez, I put all that time and effort in to baiting you and I don't get any snide remark back? You sure know how to make a girl feel special, Lei Stacey Cartwright Were you at the last Worlds, Lei?

I am going to suggest there there is a divine hand, if you will, guiding some of these events. Peter's vision of the future has yet to be explained, and it could be that someone gave him that vision to correct the change that future Hiro made by having Claire saved. Hiro randomly traveling through time may not be so random, that someone could be guiding him along as well.

No. Wait. That's wrong. Because Future Hiro would have had all the same memories that Present Hiro had to-that-point had that been the case. Ok, Time Travel NEVER makes sense. Cept in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure.

The way I see it, the world that the first future Hiro came from was a world in which Sylar had absorbed Claires powers. It was a world where there was no future Hiro to say "save the cheerleader". The second future Hiro's world (which we saw in the last episode) was one that was affected by Hiro going back in time and one that the cheerleader lived. It just didn't save the world like he had thought, as Sylar was still powerful and Peter had taken his place in 'sploding, and all that changed was that Claire was alive. Basically, we are told that no matter what happens, their future is sealed and they are fucked.

http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/searc...-2005-highlight Here is a hl of the last worlds, ending with Roger Gracie tapping Jacare. Gracie will be taking on Jon Olaf Einemo in a Superfight, who is Rogers last loss, I believe, in No Gi competition.

Armageddon and Con Air can NOT count. Dammit, Armageddon has the Bruce Willis "Goodbye Grace" scene and Con Air has the "He told me he loved me" scene by Dave Chappelle. And Hot Shots had "You don't understand. I can't walk... they've tied my shoelaces together"

Nick Swardson makes Grandma's Boy. The DDR scene had me on the floor. Plus Jonah Hill is in fine Jonah Hill form.

Yeah, put me down for The Postman, and to a lesser extent Waterworld. Postman was great with Will Patton chewing scenery like it was his last role. Costner sorta slept threw it, but the rest was inspired. With Waterworld, insert Dennis Hopper over Will Patton. No fucking way Commando gets mentioned. That's the quintessential Schwarzenegger movie. Anyone who doesn't like that movie deserves a pole through the chest. Fire Down Below is super great. Marg Helgenberger, Kris Kristofferson, and Steven Segal not allowing anyone to get the better of him ever. If Robin Hood Men In Tights is allowed, then Hot Shots Part Deux must get love. "I had to come. It was a sequel." Oh, and Josey and the Pussycats is a fucking tremendous movie. Oh, and Loaded Weapon I. Oh, and MAVERICK. I don't care if Mel is nuts, he's still the most charming motherfucker.

Twister. Not because it gets no love or hated on, but because I'm pretty sure there are few who compulsively watch it whenever its on and have seen it as many times as me. Blast From The Past is a great movie that even Alicia Silverstone couldn't ruin. Brendan Frasier runs house in that flick.

I hope we never find out about Peters scar and that he doesn't get one in the future (of the show). It would be a total wink and a nod to pretty much every alternate universe/future out there, because someone ALWAYS has a scar in a dystopian future.

YES YES....HBO has been playin this for like the past month and I've watched it damn near everytime...It was on Last nite as a matter of fact...That main music piece owns as far as im concerned Dude, Bacula, Kathy Ireland, Sinbad... how can you go wrong? Me and you? We gonna Paaahhhtaaaay.

I like that they are pacing themselves with the super power action. Too much, too soon and they blow their wad of cool which would end up creating a Matrix effect where everything afterwards is not nearly as impressive and you become numb to it.

Necessary Roughness and Major League 3. It's the Bacula fan in me.
