They should do like 10 commentaries. Joss Joss and Nathan Nathan and Wash Joss and Nathan and Wash Wash, Kaylee, and Nathan Tim Minear and Joss - even if Tim has nothing to do with it, they can still make fun of Fox. Adam and Nathan Adam and Nathan and Wash Morena and Kaylee and Book .. .... oh the possibilities are endless

Any Fillion commentaries?

As much as I love Fedor, Noguiera has better adaptability in the ring. You can put him up against _any_ fighter in the tournament, and he'd be the favourite to win. Do you think that holds true for Fedor? How many people said he'd get his ass handed to him by Cro Cop? Many people still feel that Noguiera can take him in a rematch, cause with Nog, the difference between his guard and a tap out is measured in very short seconds. Noguiera has proven he can overcome getting his ass whopped and come back - he has been tested time and time again. Fedor hasn't. I don't have to rephrase anything, cause the majority of people I read, they say Noguiera is the favourite; thus making him, the favourite.

I have a brain. You are very much unlike me.

If Fedor was the least bit hurt, he wouldn't fight. Fedor -at this stage of the game- knows how to pick his fights. Randleman, on the other hand, seems to be the kind of guy that would be affected by "this sort of thing" - and that's not a knock on him, he's human, but I can see it hurting him rather than driving him.

It was soooooooooooooooooo much better than the Core. Yet Stanley Tucci had the best performance out of both films. Odd.

I'd fucking smoke Lita like she smokes various agents and writers to still get featured on TV despite botching PUNCHES AND KICKS in the ring.

*I*, untrained, am better than Lita. What sort of standard is that? "They're better than Lita". Geez. Their matches suck. All of em. They are completely unnatural in the ring and they expose the business with every punch, every kick, every move, and hell, every promo. It looks painfully choreographed and never once do I believe that they're really fighting, or that they really hate each other, or that it's real. And that's a knock I can put on half the roster, but it's the women who especially exemplify this horrendous "style" of "wrestling".

YOUR Heavyweight Tournament Fight and FIGHTERS of the day ARE: Heath Herring vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Name: Heath Herring Nickname: The Texas Crazy Horse Record: 22 -9 - 0 Height/Weight: 6’4 / 250 lbs. Style: Wrestling/Muay Thai From: U.S.A. Birthdate: 03/02/1978 Last Fight: vs. Yoshiki Takahashi (Win *KO* - PRIDE HW GP: Total Elimination 2004) Notable Fight: vs. Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera (Loss *Decision* - PRIDE 17: Championship Chaos) Name: Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera Nickname: Minotauro Record: 22 -2 -1 Height/Weight: 6’3 / 231 lbs. Style: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu From: Brazil Birthdate: 06/02/1976 Last Fight: vs. Hirotaka Yokoi (Win *Sub/Choke* - PRIDE HW GP: Total Elimination 2004) Notable Fight: vs. Heath Herring (Win *Decision* - PRIDE 17: Championship Chaos) 2 1/2 years ago, the PRIDE Heavyweight Championship had it’s first champion: It was Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera. The man who could have been champion, Noguiera’s opponent, was Heath Herring. Since then, the two men have travelled similar, yet very different paths. Noguiera held on to that title, defending it in memorable bout after memorable bout. He was a true champion; he was on top of the world. Herring, on the other hand, did not get to bask in the same light as his peer. Rather than living up to the name he made that night in the Tokyo Dome, going the distance with the most dominant heavyweight the sport has ever seen, he instead played a much different role. Fedor. Cro Cop. They both fought -and destroyed- the Texas Crazy Horse. They both went on to compete for the title (in Fedor’s case, he won it. In Cro Cop’s, it was for the interim title). They both made their names off of Heath Herring. Now, Herring has a chance to make it all right again. After 4 straight wins in the span of 5 months, the TCH is back-on-track and could very-well finish what he, what they, started 2 1/2 years ago. But this won’t be for any title -oh no- this is just for a chance to be the top dog of the sport. A spot many feel is reserved for one Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera. “Minotauro” is carrying a lot of weight on his bronzed shoulders, perhaps more than he ever carried as champion. He *has to* win this tournament. The expectations for him are THAT high. Anything less than being crowed the Grand Prix champion is failure. But no task is too great for Noguiera, because he is THAT good. In his last bout, Noguiera showed that he can still shock and surprise as he finished his very-game opponent in Yokoi with an unconventional front-triangle choke that has no-doubt been practiced and duplicated in dojos across the globe. This ingenuity is what differentiates Noguiera from the rest. That is why he is still considered to be the best heavyweight in the world by many, despite suffering a one-sided loss to the current champion, Fedor. You can put Noguiera in any situation and he’ll not only get out of it, but he’ll get the best of it. Herring vs. Noguiera is a testament to that uncanny ability. Noguiera not only out-grappled Herring, but he out-struck him as well. In what many considered today to be one of the best matches in MMA history, Noguiera proved himself in a championship calibre performance. Every facet of the game Noguiera looked to have mastered, and coupled with his knack for absorbing punishment, it’s hard to believe that anyone can knock him out or submit him. Noguiera is the favourite to win this tournament, and since both men have improved their game since PRIDE 17, this match has the possibility of bettering its predecessor. The question now is, which man has improved more?

No LaParka, YOU pointing it out, as if to rub salt in the wounds, THAT is what is gold.

"as far as womens' wrestling in North America goes" What kind of standard is THAT? Is that supposed to be impressive? And "solid enough"?? My god man, that's not a compliment.

http://schmoblog.spiketv.com/ Schmo is Back Hey everyone! Welcome to the first Joe Schmo 2 blog entry. I’m Rhett Reese, one of Joe’s co-creators and executive producers, and I’ll be serving as your captain on a ship that’s fueled by romance, sailing in search of life’s greatest booty… love. OK, I’m already plagiarizing. That last line was written by John Moore and performed by pompous British host Derek Newcastle. You’ll hear it delivered in the very first scene of Joe Schmo 2. Just a little tease! Joe Schmo 2 wasn’t always a foregone conclusion. The conventional wisdom on the internet and in town was that the show would be really hard to pull off a second time - that we would be half-crazy to try. Our strategy after Joe 1 was to start completely from scratch. New fake show. New actors. New approach. We never really considered a return to the ‘Lap of Luxury.’ We wanted to throw potential contestants off the scent. And we wanted to do something fresh. My ex-girlfriend and I watched every single ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ in history, plus ‘For Love or Money,’ even ‘Mr. Personality.’ And my partner Paul Wernick’s wife Rita roped him into a bunch of the relationship shows, too. So I don’t think either of us ever really questioned which genre we wanted to try to skewer on the second season of Joe. The format of the show fell into place mostly out of necessity. The network wanted to raise the stakes in season two… to try to fool two people instead of one – a Joe and a Jane. Consequently, we couldn’t do just a ‘Bachelor’ or ‘Bachelorette’ – we needed to combine the two under one roof. Our first instinct was to make Joe and Jane our Bachelor and Bachelorette, and to make all the suitors actors. The problem with that set-up was that it empowered Joe and Jane to evict people from the show, an element we were reluctant to lose control over. When you’re creating characters and writing stories, you need to be able to determine how those stories culminate and end. Our eviction ceremonies anchor our shows and affect our plots. We need to know in advance how and when characters are going home. It’s at the very heart of what we do. Our solution was simple: we made Joe and Jane suitors, and placed the eviction duties in the hands of two actors pretending to be our Bachelor and Bachelorette. That put us at the helm of the aforementioned ship! After that, everything fell into place. Joe Schmo is a parody of Reality TV, so we like to work backwards from existing shows. What are the character types we’ve all come to know and love (or hate)? What are the clichéd moments, the hackneyed plots? What are the ceremonial moments? Nothing is sacred. The sillier, the better. Everyone knows Omarosa. We turned her into Ambrosia. Everyone’s seen the woman who gets wasted beyond all comprehension. We turned her into Rita, ‘the drunk.’ By now, we’re all familiar with the ‘shocking twist.’ One of our writers, Andrew Green, thought, ‘What’s the most absurdly over-the-top, takes-itself-too-seriously way to announce a twist?’ And he came up with the falcon (named ‘Montecore,’ after Roy’s tiger… sick, I know). I can’t tell you how fun it is to sit in a room and try to think this stuff up. Our writers’ room on Joe 2 was beyond fun in December and January. We laughed and laughed and laughed, and then laughed some more. Now we’re praying that those laughs translate onto the screen. There are very few elements in Joe 2 that can’t be traced back to some ridiculous moment in reality television. We think it’s fun for the viewer to be able to point at the screen and say, ‘They got that from ‘Chains of Love’!’ It gives the audience a personal investment in what’s going on. We’ve all watched a ton of reality TV, and Joe rewards that obsession, in a weird way. Our other crucial task going into the show was to find a new Joe and Jane worthy to succeed Matt Kennedy Gould. I say ‘succeed’ because no one will ever truly be able to ‘replace’ Matt in my heart. But our Joe and Jane - Tim and Ingrid - are wonderful, engaging personalities – very different from Matt in fascinating ways. We never tried to find ‘another Matt.’ We tried to find two new people who would make for a different, compelling show. And no, neither Tim nor Ingrid saw a minute of the first Joe Schmo. That was obviously important to us. We wanted to be brave, but not quite that brave. And yes, Ralph is back as Derek Newcastle, our pompous British host. That was one risk we all knew we had to take. Ralph was just too amazing not to return. I would have loved to try to sneak him past the audience, too, but oh well… I’m going to go now, but I sincerely hope that you all get a kick out of the new Joe. I’ll be back often to update the blog, so stick around! Rhett

Reading the Cast Bios from the website... I think we have a winner. The Smarmy Host returns, AND HE'S BRITISH!

I enjoy Anyankas passion for this show and never-ending unhappiness with the treatment of her favourite character. She is our Anyasault. Really, the most fitting death for Anya would have been being killed by a giant Bunny. That dastardly First and it's bunny-minions. C'mon, that's funny. Inappropriate at the time, but funny.

I'm sure Trish and Victoria are good workers - they fucking suck as wrestlers though. If the definition of a wrestler is someone who makes it look like they're seriously fighting, they are bottom of the barrell. You know, looking at Bobbi Billard, I think -that with the right training- she could have been the next Pamela Paulshock. I really mean that.

Danny Trejo comes to BAD BLOOD and appears in Benoits dressing room as he finishes his match with Kane. They end the show with JR saying "who the hell is that?" and Benoit looking scared.

A Frank Jewett post that includes Randy Orton and doesn't talk about his pointless armwork? You sir, are a sham.

Benoit is working for The General, not Kane. I don't think it's a coincidence that when The General came to Smackdown. Benoit left for RAW. See, when Benoit wrestled in Mexico, he was taken under the wing of The General and in return for The Generals support, Benoit promised him the World Title. Now, old debts are coming back to haunt the Canadian Crippler and he's torn in whether or not to obey old allegiances, or keep the title he worked so hard to get. The General will remind Benoit that the sacrifices don't stop when you're champ, and that it's time to give up what is most precious to him.

Yeah, I think the plot would probably be D'Hoffryn getting tired of the politics behind the Vengeance game, so he starts his own secret society of hitmen - infact, they can call it "D'Hitmyn" - so you get to see Clem, TEMTUTBOMadTV, and Izzy dress up in black suits and have silencers and shit. Hey, maybe Lorne can make some cameos.

What are you talking about?! Benoit and Kane have had plenty of interactions. Why, Benoit looked at Kane and one of them -I forget which one, but I know for a fact this happened- made the belt motion around his waist. And Kane cut a promo talking about how jealous he was of Benoits life. And Benoit came down and saved Eugene. This goes far, my friend. PLUS, you can use your imagination and think of some backstory the two have that has yet to be revealed - did you know that when Benoit started wrestling that his very first match was against Kane? And did you know that Kane is really Benoits son? Oh yeah, believe it, cause what happened was that Kane came back from the future and that's why he was hideously scarred - cause there was lots of heat from the time machine - and the DNA test from a few years ago didn't say "Bearer" it said "Benoit", but there was smudge and they just saw the first two letters. Why is has Kane come back from the future? Well you have to tune in and watch! And why does Funaki watch Kanes matches so intently? Well, thats a whole other story.

They should have done a spin-off with D'Hoffryn and Clem... and maybe the eccentric millionaire that used to be on MadTV... And Izzy.

I wouldn't know; the feud has me completely disinterested so I won't buy the PPV to see the match.

That says it all...

No, the problem* is that they're not giving this match enough attention and have put Eugene, Cade, Coach, Lita, and Matt Hardy in this angle, for some reason or another. *Number 1 problem. Kane being weak definitely hurts it, though.

Throw in Amy Acker and change the title to "3 Men and a Leggy Hottie", a romantic comedy which will include Amy in many short skirts I'd rather have Jewel Staite in that role and call it "3 men and a Kaylee". But that changes everything around.
