HHH is death to anyone not associated with him (HBK, Orton), so the answer is to get _him_ out of the picture and rebuild RAW. Which they will never do, which will never happen, which makes me laugh at the thought. Orton at least had some fresh match-ups in him, but he'd never execute it well as a face (and as a Heel he'd be holding HHH's spot) so that's not a favourable option either.

What else can the two magnificent Canadian Chris' do? Nothing. They're fucked. I gave it a minute of thought and couldn't think of anything particularly worthwhile. There is nothing productive either guy can do on the show. And Smackdown doesn't look good either. Which is exactly the way HHH likes it. He's the only option for everything.

Please don't relate Angel Season 4 and Buffy Season 6. Their only similarities are two horrible female leads (Willow and Cordy).

Floundering in the Midcard, looking horrible in the Main Event... each scenario sucks. The difference is, I'm not the one advocating either.

Rebuttal: ECW's inclusion into the feud was the Invasions best moment (IMO) and quite possibly only "good" moment that abomination produced. Granted, it was completely shut-down when Steph became 'owner', but for at least a moment the Invasion produced something good. At least for me it did. Without ECW, the Invasion would have produced nothing at all.

Yeah, because both Benoit and Jericho benefitted so much from their title feuds with HHH.

Rebuttal: Disagreed. Though I think that was probably part of their reasoning (like say 10%, cause they're petty like that), I'd say the majority of their jumping-the-gun was that they were eager to get into a Orton/HHH feud, as-well-as pushing Orton to the top. They wanted to ride the wave of face-support he simply wasn't getting enough of to carry him as a top face star.

Moore has had 2 films made about him this year and the year is not even over yet. That's impressive for such an unattractive, pretty uncharismatic, and relatively uneventful guy.

(Regarding Unforgiven) Statement: The real loser tonight after HHH has beaten Orton for the title is not Randy, but rather, the guy Randy beat clean-as-a-sheet and who also curtain jerked the PPV tonight, Chris Benoit. By having such a short title reign, it completely kills Benoits "put over" of Orton at Summerslam.

Rebuttal: Disagreed. The fundamental problem with the InVasion still would not have been changed had that happened. That problem being Vince's unwillingness to let the "invaders" take over, Vince pushing HIS guys in the top spots of the "invaders", and Vince putting his family to the forefront of the feud. Not-to-mention Vince not signing the big WCW stars like Sting and Flair, and guys like Hogan, Hall and Nash.

One of the few things that I wasn't big on was the lack of explanation for Braff's choice of becoming an actor. I can understand the escapist theory, but Braff never even attempted to elaborate on it with his script. I think his talk with Sam near the fire summed it up - he's never been himself; he has always been someone else. That's why he feels "safe" with Sam, with her he *can* be himself without consequences. And when his friend gave him the necklace, does that mean that he stole it, sold it, and then bought it back to give to him? Maybe I missed something. I think it went like this: Mark Graverobs Mom. Mark throws away Necklace (it wasn't of value) Large sees Mark Graverob Mark devotes the rest of his time to finding the necklace After a series of trades, he finds out where the Necklace was thrown away to and he gets the arkguy to find it.

http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/gardenstate/ In Zachs blog he says that he cut some I-Holm scenes, which explains why there wasn't enough I-Holm. He also said that he already did 2 commentaries for a DVD, and one of them is with *sigh*[schoolboycrush]Natalie Portman[/schoolboycrush]

Nowadays you should be able to find a Mixed Martial Arts class. I'd say take that one as you'll learn more well rounded fighting techniques and don't have to follow the dogmatic bs that a lot of Martial Arts have. Rather than worrying about tying a gi, you'll get right into all levels of fighting. Of course, it's good to check out the reputation of the gym as is the case with going to any dojo.

And a-hello. Saw it with Curry tonight and it didn't whip my ass. Rather, it went right ahead and did the post-ass kick nurturing. I haven't been more comfortable watching a movie ever. I loved everything about it - the visuals, the music, the acting, the dialogue, the relationships - everything about it was fantastic.

It's up there in Gift territory in terms of resolution. It "fit" the Connor Saga so perfectly and it went against everything that Angel was fighting for against Jasmine (free will), but since it was his son and he was a father, it changed his normal view on things.

I really enjoyed it. My only qualm is not about Hogan or Sting being featured, but rather, the "celebrities" being featured and promoted over the Wrestlers. Other than that, I thought it had really nice pacing, it presented the company in a professional manner, and it was a HUGE step up from what they were doing before in their commercials.

And Jewel Staite in Daisy Dukes? *head EXPLURDES* http://www.animateanimal.com/dragoncon/200...erenity%20here/

Jewel Staite, continuing her quest to be the perfect woman...

There will be, I just wanted to get the votes in ASAP to avoid the delay last time.

They should change the sets to accomodate for the smaller venues, as well as scaling down costs. Yeah, that's it. It's not because they look ridiculous.

SONNOFABITCH. I checked the first page and said "nah, it wouldn't be on the second one..." Well, call this "Post II: The Suckening"

This is a recent post by John "Earthquake" Tenta about him going backstage at a RAW show. HHH is class, baby. But Benoit can't have that Big ups to both guys. Put a smile on my face, hope it does for you too.

Benoit's promos aren't entertaining, but as MEer they don't have to be. They just have to sell the match. "Triple-H. You-are-a-tough-guy. But. I-am-tough-too. With-Conviction... I mean... I-WILL-BEAT-YOU-AT-UN-FOR-GIVEN." - Randy Orton.

Benoit cuts much better promos than Orton. By no means great promos, but it didn't feel like he was reading from a cue card and he wasn't pretending to be The Rock. Benoits promos were sufficient for selling his matches, he just rarely ever got a chance to do it.
