Bah, this is a good undercard. Colossus vs. Aleks is going to be sweet *just* for the fact that these two guys are BEASTS. Overeem is going to GO TO TOWN on Kanehara (FLYING KNEES~!) Since Fedor and Kharitonov, I'm now always interested in new Russian fighters, so I can't wait for Sergeys PRIDE debut. Mark Hunt is going to slaughter Bobish, always good. Mu Bae Choi (or Choi Mu Bae...) http://www.susumug.com/fighter_photo_windo...fighter_id=1387 nuff said I am interested in this other fighter as well. It's always fun to see new talent, especially when it compliments some big names. And then you have FOUR awesome matches.

That's uncreative. And hurtful.

The "Middle path" is a Buddhist approach, which is basically what separates Buddhism from Jainism. I don't know where you got the passage from, but it seems directly taken from "Religions of the World" 8th Edition (format wise), and the preface to it is "Jainism, along with many other Indian religions, has historically taught that there are few yes or no answers. This has never been better illustrated than in the Jain parable of the man in the well. The story also is found in many other cultures and literatures."

Get the fuck out of that well. (Reason, I hate snakes, don't wanna go to hell). The whole point of the question is that there really are no answers suitable, because every answer means you desire it, and Jains try to get away from desire. Which is hard.

He does nothing.

Dana put him over pretty big in the press conference, but basically said that Cote would be used at a lighter weight.

Just the show.

In the post-event press conference (which can be DL'd at Sherdog), Hughes said he became a Christian this past summer (born again?) and came to the ring with Mark 12:29 on his shirt (what's the deal with Born Agains and Shirts?) It's amazing to watch and listen to Frank Trigg talk, because he's so far ahead of everyone else when it comes to talking that it's not even funny.

It's hilarious how they never even considered the option of turning the mic on and having her actually sing the song.

I think rating Eddie/Brock below **** is criminal, as it is -by a very wide margin - the best WWE match thus far in 2004. The luv for the WM20 3-way, while not surprising, is still making me pull my hair out. Seriously, I'd almost struggle to call this "very good", let alone excellent, let alone classic. It is all formula, pacing, and structure - with no content. I saw the match live on PPV, I wasn't blown away at the time. I DL'd the match a few months later and the sound was off by a second and the match totally sucked. Why? Because it took the pacing away. That match relies only on its structure and nothing else. It's a typical HBK match. And you do get points with me for that, because I recognize the importance of it and it takes a certain talent to space everything out and build the crowd up with spots, but that's what it really was - a spot fest. Not a TLC spotfest, but a spotfest none-the-less. And that's typical with 3 ways, because it's hard to really be effective and logical with 3 guys fighting each other. So they had to rely on "this guy beats this guy, this guy takes a rest". They didn't reinvent the wheel here, and personally, the Big Benoit Title Win didn't really do anything for me. The build up was SHIT (Eddies/Brocks was shit too, but that was more because they only had 3 weeks to do it and the WM match had 3 MONTHS. And for anyone saying that I was against the WM 20 match before it even began, I was against Eddie/Brock as well) and Benoits lame duck reign didn't help the cause any either. They may have ended off the show with Benoit and Eddie, and the tag line may have been "Where it all begins...again" but NOTHING changed. Something that is great tends to have influence, tends to have effect; this didn't. Eddie/Brock was a level above the 3 way, because it actually had DEPTH. As Curry mentioned (and no one else does) Eddie is absolutely brilliant in the match. He uses the ring to his advantage. He uses his surroundings, he is resourceful - and he has to be, because Brock would just slaughter him if it were straight-up. Brock tells him "You don't belong in this ring" at the beginning of the match as he throws him to the outside. So if Eddie can't be in Brocks world, he'll make it his own. If it weren't for the Goldberg interference and how that all played out, and how Eddie's reign went up in smoke, this would have truly been a great match, IMO. A classic. I think the closest thing to it would be Angle/Eddie from Summerslam, which has also been criminally overlooked.

I think "Business being down" is the cause for most of the "backstage chaos". Wrestlers are working more dates, but making less money. That tends to make folks unhappy.

Oh man, I loved this. All of it. Good lord it was beautiful. I love Bruckheimer films, so I was going nuts over every cliched thing in this film. I also love South Park, so all the voices (especially KJI) were classic. The vomiting scene had me almost out of my seat. I swear, I was a shade away from being in the Showtime at the Apollo audience. The only qualm I have with it is that it had no moneyshot. All the Celebrities deaths (esp. Susans) were sweet. The way they used "ACTING" and "TERRORISTS" was also gold.

Awesome report Slapnuts. That is something the UFC should really consider - not making the arena experience shitty. Try to shoot them an email or post on mma.tv where Dana occasionally posts. That is unacceptible, man. It was Chuck Zito that they kept slapping hands with.

And since I rule like Istanbul, here's a link for some LOST pics. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show...53656_92654679/

Here, this should make you feel better...

ABC is reairing some LOST episodes tonight. The one focusing on Locke at 8, and at 9 the one that happened this past week.

By "game plan" I mean "take down, put against fence, wait until ref or cut stoppage", rather than going for a KO or Tap Out. That strategy relies a lot on how much punishment the opponent can take, and Cote can take a lot.

I thought you said you'd shut up Consider your audience W365. 99% of people here never saw Harley Race in top form, and that 1% sure as shit ain't in the WWE Folder. Now, there are people that will give him "respect" because of his "accomplishments" and say he's a "legend" and will be "shocked" if he ever died, but I don't think they really give a flying fuck about him. So now you post an interview, *not even with Harley Race himself*, and you expect it to get "appreciated"? As for your "shilling", you've started off posts with "from the W365 newsletter" and then with links attached.

I think Tito was expecting Cote to either get cut or give up after the "thrashing" he was giving him, but Cote can take a shot and his skin must be made of some sort of rubber, because Tito wasn't really able to phase him. He uses the same gameplan as Randy Couture, and it's pretty boring.

Um. "Its good enough for Meltzer to use you tool!!" - You. Now, a "TSM Exclusive" would be *just* for TSM. That's the definition of exclusive. Nevermind that this has nothing to do with the WWE in any capacity at all and never mentioned the WWE once in it... that alone makes this whole thing kinda silly. Now, I'm not "against" you or what you do here, even though it's more akin to shilling than posting, I just don't really see the purpose of any of it.

You *do* know what "exclusive" means, right?

Zzzzz The only bad fight of the night, Cote should be happy to go the distance, but he should have done more with the opportunities he had at the start of each round.
