Credit Lei Tong with opening my eyes to that great site ----------------- The Ultimate Fighting Championship received a huge national endorsement tonight as it appeared on an episode of HBO's smash series The Sopranos. According to Nielson Media Research, The Sopranos is the top rated cable television program in the U.S. with approximately 10 million viewers tuning in weekly. The UFC received a short plug as A.J. Soprano, son of the main character, was shown watching Chuck Liddell versus Renato 'Babalu' Sobral from UFC 40 ------------ MMA legends and stepbrothers, Ken and Frank Shamrock, have reunited according to Frank himself. The two will be training together in the future. ------------ According to the BTT's Muay-Thai teacher Luis Alves, Rodrigo Nogueira Minotauro has already scheduled his Muay Thai training for the GP. 'He is gonna rest a little bit and we gonna train his Muay Thai,' said Alves, that adds: 'He has already set up a schedule with me. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we gonna train here at BTT and Tuesdays and Thursdays we gonna practice in his place, where he has built a ring. I will drive his Muay Thai so sharpened that he will be able to KO anyone at Pride,' promised the Boxe Thai leader Luis Alves. ------------- The Japanese media report that Igor Vovchanchyn may be possibly out of the PRIDE Heavyweight GP, which is scheduled for April 25th. According to reports, Igor still has an injury that he sustained from his last fight. With Igor possibly out, and Sylvester Terkay definitely out, PRIDE may now has six spots to fill for their 16-man GP. ------------ DSE/PRIDE announced that Vanderlei Silva vs. Yuki Kondo will take place as the main event for their PRIDE Bushido 3 show on May 23rd. -------------- Almost a year away from rings, BTT Ricardo Arona expects an invitation from Pride organization to join the upcoming Heavyweight Grand Prix on next April 25th in Japan. "I am waiting for a chance to be among the fours names they haven't decide yet," stated the BJJ black belt, that left the Pride GP middleweight due to a injury in his feet. Besides that, his will to compete is so strong that if the BTT is not at the GP, he promises to keep up the training: "I am returning to train with a gi. If I don't have a scheduled match, I might be joining the upcoming BJJ World Championships", guaranteed Arona.

NOGUIERAS ENTRANCE THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/wortley/...__Nogueira_.mp3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it wasn't a problem a month or two ago. For the past 2/3 weeks the overlapping (irrelevant) news has been getting very annoying. Put all the small tidbits of news in one big post, and have the big news on it's own.

*Votes for a Minor News Thread to get rid of all these crappy news threads*

"Ric Flair is scheduled to have lunch with President Bush today and Theresa Ernhardt (Dale's widow)... we are not sure whether he will attend just wearing a robe..."

So its 'better' to keep Shelton off the PPV entirely and kill any and all momentum that he might get from this program? It's 'better' to stick him in their with someone the crowd doesn't care about like Garrison Cade? Sometimes you put wrestling quality aside in order to continue your storylines and this is one of those times. Otherwise what do you do with Benjamin? Since when did "Don't put Benjamin in a singles match with Flair/Batista" = "Keep him off the PPV" ? When did it = "put him in with (someone like) Garrison Cade"? I'm reading what I posted, but I don't see the connection. There are plenty of things Benjamin could do on the PPV - he could corner Chris Benoit, he could be inserted into the 3 way, he could be a special guest referee either in the 3 way or the foley/orton match, he could be put in a sort of WM-type match where the 3 way gets changed... Sometimes it's best to do something fresh with someone rather than sticking 'em against Flair and Batista. The win (or loss) would mean nothing and the match would suck so much.

So, is he hired because he's any good, or hired only because of his dad? Hmmm... there's a toughie.

Flair vs. Anyone is bad. As is Batista vs. Anyone. There is a certain line where "better" can't effectively apply because it's still bad. The use of the word "finally" is being greatly abused around here, might I add.

Thank goodness that The Changed HHH has found it in his heart to put over Benoit and let him run with the ball. Why, it's mere coincidence that Benoit hasn't been doing anything of consequence or importance since winning the title and that the shows have been focused around The Changed HHH for the past 3 week and don't look to be changing any time soon. Oh The Changed HHH , when will the evil, bitter smarks stop complaining about you?

Benjamin vs. Flair/Batista in a singles match is a very bad thing.

Did anyone say that a Evolution vs. Michaels/Benoit/Benjamin match was a bad thing?

That's a pretty bad feeling.

Apparently, Kevin Randleman has said: Coleman vs. Fedor Randleman vs. Cro Cop ... will be happening at the GP.

The kid looks like a ladykiller.

The one last night was pretty good, but very strange. It was about street racer who killed another street racer and a poker player who died from lead poisoning (which was from eating Chocolate). Both conclusions were pretty lacklustre, but I still really enjoyed it cause -shit- the characters are awesome and Waricks reaction to finding out that Grissom was a bit of a poker player was sweet.

Chuck wasn't aggressive in the first round of the fight, so it's not like he "learned" anything. (Fedor going straight to Goodridge showed he had learned something from his previous fight.) It was the same approach Chuck had for the Overeem fight (cept Overeem took it to him) and capitalized on a well placed strike. Simply put, the reason why Liddell lost against Randy and Quinton was because they were better strikers. Period.

HBK - from his insanely retarded entrance to his craptacular promos to his hideous shirts.

I believe Minear talked about how they expected the show to be cancelled and that, incase they did, they wouldn't leave everyone hanging like Firefly did, so the 13 episodes ended with some sort of finality or resolution.

C'mon guys, Fox did everything they could to help the series out. They put it on Thursday nights fer christsakes! TWICE! Say it with me now... FUCK FOX

Wonderfalls Cancelled http://www.buffistas.org/showthread.php?th...71&post_id=9310 Tim Minear - Apr 3, 2004 5:56:32 pm PST #9310 of 9405 Well, not sure what to tell ya'll -- but we're cancelled. Effective at once. The cow creamer will be silent this Thursday and forever forward. Once we recover from the not-shock, Todd, Bryan and I will see if there's some venue in which to air the remaining episodes. As I have said from the start, the thirteen taken as a whole tell a story and go to a place, so a run of this "limited" series would not be unsatisfying elsewhere. It's a question as to whether the studio will want to invest in a DVD release of a failed series. Maybe the episodes will sit in a warehouse someplace with that sled and the arc of the covenant. Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm. Tim

Thank you, Supreme Chancellor of the Chuck Palumbo Fan Club. I shall not disappoint you again. *Hits self a dozen times with a stiff right punch* *changes list* Benoit Benjamin Palumbo Rosie *whew*

Over CHUCK~! ? That's it, you're out of the club. No... please... I.. I don't know where my head was... I'm sorry. Please... Please... it's all I have. Being a Palumboner means the world to me.

Rosie. Only cause Benoit and Benjamin were taken... Yep...

The episode last night (not on Spike, which I missed... stupid UFC) that I watched was the one with Grissoms mentor "selling out". That was such a fucking awesome episode where he (mentor) takes down all the crew and Grissom just stands on the sidelines until he finally takes the stand and reads the lips of the prosecutor and incriminates the movie star. Fucking AWESOME shit.

I think he'd beat both Couture and Rampage in a rematch, although it wouldn't be nearly as dominant as yesterday. Anybody care to disagree? Rampage and Couture destroyed Chuck the first time around, nothing in his performance last night showed that he'd be able to beat them again as Tito never once pressed the fight towards him nor did he do any counter punching. Marked for the "Fighter/trainer" appearances. Rampage won't be fighting in the UFC anytime soon, but I hope that ALEX STEIBLING~! comes in. Ah MAN! I completely forgot about that! That was a fucking sweet moment.
