Hey, no Benoit in the preview. Just like when he was the champ.

The way I see it is that one day - it could be next year, it could be 5 years from now - the titles will be merged, and Vince damn-well won't be having Big Goldie as the WWE championship, and therefore all the holders of that title will become void (a sidebar if they're lucky)

Heyman is not the answer. Hell, Jim fucking Ross would be a better answer than Paul Heyman. The best booking talent they have is in OVW.

The courts generally use the following two tets to determine if a person is employee: - Control - the individual is subject to control by the employer (when/where/how work is done) - Organization - the person is integrated into the business organization The courts generatlly use the folloing two tests to determine if an individual is an I.C. - Tools - the individual has ownership of that person's own tools and brings them to the workplace - Risk - the individual has the potential for loss or gain of profits from the arrangement. ------ If you ask me, both cases have their own merits, but "employee" is a slam dunk whereas "I.C." you'd have to stretch some things out to make a match.

Sonny Ono wrote something about how wrestlers were infact employees rather than independent contractors and made many comparisons which defined wrestlers as I.C. However, if wrestlers _were_ employees, Vince would be out of business.

The "Independent Contractor" thing is withoutadoubt THEE least talked about issue that is perhaps THEE most important one in professional wrestling.

I never once used the word "surprise". Perhaps if you go around and select "s" "u" "r"... from other words that I did use, then maybe you'd find "surprise", but until then, lets focus on what I *did* say, which was "Hey, I haven't seen them in a while"/Big Return Pop. You know those things - even Billy Gunn got one - and they are a sure-thing in wrestling. By having HBK and Big Show appear on WWE tv, it kills any sense of that. How is there any debating this? There shouldn't be discussion here. It was a stupid, thoughtless, typical WWE thing to do. And nothing says "unstoppable monster" like "c'mon guys, you gotta vote!"

You know what would be the greatest thing ever? If a big group of smarks was at an arena one night and threw in dress shirts and pants ala. ECW arena throwing chairs.

*walks in thread* *sees AS laughing* *sees what he's laughing at* BWWWAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

Both sides are silly: The Wrestlers for not doing something simple as putting on a different pair of pants, shirt, and shoes; and the company for thinking it would make a difference.

AS, are you saying he killed Curt Hennig?

The one thing HBK and Show had going for them was the "Hey, I haven't seen them in a while"/Big Return Pop, that was completely ruined by having them on TV at the Convention. For that alone, it was a dumb move to do. BUT, they also were/are running a big revenge angle with Michaels and Kane - if Shawn isn't mad or is dying for revenge and is generally "ok", then why should we -the fans- be mad, or want to see him get revenge? They fucked up big time, no excuses.

Aw WP you had to ruin the funny and acknowledge him.

Both Prichards should be fired. I hope this is true, though. Dr. Tom can suck a cock. You know, other that Vince McMahons - he did that enough in his columns.

You missed something

Was anyone else hoping for some HLA between Linda McMahon and Laura Bush??

Henrys return is sooo easily to predict. *Benoit is in the ring* *Henry comes out* King: Uh oh, Henry looks mad, JR. JR: That's cause Benoit put him on the shelf for almost 8 months. *15 seconds later* King: Somebody should check on Chris Benoit JR: Henry just KILLED him. WHATTA MONSTER! King: The Worlds Strongest Man has just put the RAW superstars on notice! JR: He just squashed tiny Chris Benoit like he was a bug! *Benoit is shown getting carried out by the refs*

*video camera, first person view, of a car pulling up to a house* *unidentified person gets out and walks up to the door and enters* *camera goes down the hall, looking at various pictures on the wall that has Shawn Michaels & Family in them* *Person goes to kitchen table, pulls up a list that says "Things to do". - Republican National Convention - Groceries (Beets, Waffles, Flatbread, Celery, Eggs, Milk...) - Take son to little league - Go to PTA meeting - Gym - Make time for the Wife - Tape Dr. Phil - Call up Ted for a prayer - Mow Lawn / Water plants - KILL KANE - Pick up paint (white??) - Paint fence - Watch Tape of Dr. Phil

Rudo: Uh, Maude. Maude: Yes Rudo Rudo: Could you pass me some peanuts? Maude: Oh, sure. Rudo: No, not those peanuts. The ones at the bottom

_The Problem_ is that this Fantasy thing is a great opportunity to create goodwill between the WWE and the Internet fan. For the WWE to get the fans involved and interested on another level. For the fans to watch the shows and have a vested interest in who is on, who wins, and who loses. A great opportunity that they fucked-up by charging for it, and by making it U.S.-exclusive. No, 10 bucks isn't much at all, but the thought-alone of paying for something like this is ridiculous. I wouldn't give them a dime. IMO, the rewards of getting 10x's the fan involvement without the restrictions and the indirect benefits that come along with it are much more than getting the direct financial benefit.

I decided long ago that reasoning with Anyanka is like riding a unicorn around a race track: you never get anywhere and there is no such fucking thing as either.

Oh.

I'm sorry Czech, not this time.

You MONSTER!

Not exactly. From what I got: Jet Li has spent 10 years preparing to kill the emperor for killing his people. He has been working on a technique that -when put in the same room as the emperor- Li can easily, quickly, and flawlessly kill him. The fact that he worked on this technique is played up more than his revenge. It's not a story of revenge. The Main Focus is on the love story between Broken Sword and Snow.
