I think the Caveman would win. In the case of Extreme Strength vs. Extreme Skill, Extreme Skill *always* wins. At least, in every instance I have seen it has. The Caveman would have Extreme Strength, but the Astronaut doesn't have Extreme Skill; he probably has minimum skill. He probably knows a few hand-to-hand combat moves given his military training, but his actual experience in using it is between 0 and dick nothing. Astronauts are generally fighter pilots, and successful ones at that, so they were never in the same one-on-one situations a Caveman would be in. Cosmonauts are a different story.

All I see is a whole lot of people not getting it. God I hate this folder. So why am I so attracted to it? This warped Elysian Fields of TSM where everyone is Blanche Dubois and the lights are dimmed. It's like a gravitational pull of stupidity; A black hole of suck. Devoid of meaning and substance; whose only reason for existance is existance itself. To counter-balance all other life on this forum. And here I am sitting on the event horizon looking in and going mad myself. In other words... Mole, stop posting in Hardcore. It's no good for you. It's no good for anybody. These aren't exactly the type of people you want liking you, and they aren't exactly the type of people you should pander for and give your attention to. In the immortal words of the modern day poet Kramer: "Hey, stay away from the chicken, BAD chicken, mess you up!"

Rudo, this season is good, but it's no season 4 of Angel or season 5 of Buffy. I am a _big_ fan of both those seasons, and probably in the top 3 on this board as a fan of these 2 seasons. I've written endlessly about how brilliant Buffy Season 5 was, Angel Season 4 was like nothing the Whedonverse ever saw, I looooove these 2 seasons, so believe me when I say what happens in the rest of this Season is mind blowing. You have no idea. Hell, I thought I had an idea when I read the spoilers and then I saw Hole in the World and I still was blown away. This thing goes deep. It goes deeper than season 4 Angel and season 5 buffy. If you love continuity, this has it in spades. Looking back, there is _no_ meaningless episode this season; even if it appears as a throw-away it still has value for the entire arc.

Family Guy is overrated. And this is from someone who thought it was the funniest thing ever a few years ago. It's still fucking funny, but just not as funny as it was when you saw it the first time. It doesn't hold up.

I think a "Top 10 Second Best Wrestlemania matches" comp should be created. They weren't the best matches on the card, but dammit, they're still good!

I have no idea what you're talking about. Thank God.

Enter Eric Angle as the evil pharmasist who hands Eddy a bottle of vikes. That would be GREAT. Or maybe Eric Angle as a pastor. *Eddie enters confessional* Eddie: Father, I feel myself slipping. All this pain that I've brought to my friends and family, I don't know if I can continue living this way. I need to turn to someone, I need help. I need god. Eric: Well, Eddie. God doesn't like you. Eddie: WHAT? Eric: I'm sorry Eddie, but he doesn't. Look at yourself, thou shalt not steal Eddie, and you not only steal but you glorify it. Thou shalt not covet Eddie, and there you are carrying around the Gold you wanted for as long as you were a child. You are a drug addict Eddie, and now all of you sins are being paid back in full on your family by God. The Good book can't save you Eddie, you're a lost cause. You might as well bust out the ole crack pipe because that's the only salvation you'll get in this lifetime. Eddie: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's simply a bad visual. It's like the dumb hunter who got snagged by his own trap and now his hanging from a rope (or Homer Simpson, for that matter).

My thoughts exactly. What the fuck are you talking about?

Quite frankly, I don't think Eddie and Kurt should *touch* at all leading up to Mania. I think Kurt should kill all of Eddies friends (his support system) and be two steps ahead of Eddie. Kurt knows that Eddie can handle himself, but how can he handle all these people getting hurt around him? How will he deal? Moralistic Kurt is trying to knock Eddie off the wagon so he can (a)Prove his point and (b)Easily get the title.

I think having to hang upsidedown (helpless) makes Eddie look like a bitch.

Oh, so he's Cowardly Brock 2004. Gotcha. They've booked themselves into a corner here. They can't have Eddie Guerrero New WWE Champion look weak because he got elevated so quickly and needs to look strong in his first title defense. However, they can't have Recently Turned Mega Heel Kurt Angle look weak because he's the new #1 heel on Smackdown. So, in their own fucked-up way, they are trying to keep it "even".

- I fixed it for you. I didn't bother watching Smackdown this week (nothing interests me), could someone explain this Angle/Eddie thing? I skimmed the spoilers and Sk's recap and I don't see anything horrible about it. Though, I trust AS's judgement more than others so I'm willing to hear what's so good (bad) about it

Astronauts are in great shape. They have great cardio/endurance and are very smart. However, I think it's safe to say that Astronauts do not know how to fight as they are not trained for combat. With that said, a lot of Astronauts are/were in the airforce, so they have some military and combat training. So that is a bit of a wildcard. Cavemen are naturally strong and know how to protect themselves as well as kill another beast. They, however, are not very smart. If you're looking at it as Strength vs. Smarts, in MMA, Smarts tends to win out. Bob Sapp vs. Noguiera is the perfect example of that. As is Kimo vs. Royce Gracie. Needless to say, the winners (Noguiera/Gracie) got the shit kicked out of them but pulled it out. However, with that said, Gracie and Noguiera were/are highly trained martial artists and I doubt the Astronauts would have the skill level that they do. A caveman would be closer in skill and strength to Sapp and Kimo, so in the end, I believe, a Caveman would win.

Boston Rob is THE MAN. Shit, that was a sweet takedown on Colby, picture perfect. That man knows how to wrestle. He also destroyed Ethan. They need more physical confrontations like that. The last 20 minutes of that show was fucking AWESOME. I loved how it all seemingly changed and switched sides and there was soooo much politics involved that you felt guilty for even watching it and in the end _everyone_ votes off Richard. That was sweet.

Lil Naitch, you will be eating your words when this season ends. The Quality of the rest of the season is on par with anything Joss has ever done. Outside Firefly . And even then, it's apples and oranges as Firefly never was able to work through the continuity that Angel will ("Oops" - Knox). The thing with Cordy I understand. They did the big funeral thing with Joyce, and even though Cordy was a huge character of the show (being a mainstay as long as Angel himself), she wasn't featured _at_all_ in the last season and did a completely 360 in Season 4. It was a low-key gesture from someone who, when the show started, wasn't low-key at all. It was a quiet whisper and I think it worked really well.

Mole, don't forget about loving onion blossoms and watching passions.

*Smacks head* VANCE!!! *Vance McMahon enters room* Vance: Hey daddyo, what's this with you forgettin about me? Heeey? *Vance smiles, adjusts collar, points and winks* Vance: Just kiddin, I know it's all love and you meant no hurt by it. It's cool, cause I'm cool, JACK. RRR: WOW Vance, you ARE cool. *Vance puts on sunglasses* Vance: Then why do I feel so hOtuh~! OW! *Vance leaves room with two ladies on his arm*

CO: Hey Vince? What was the ratings this week? Vince: Well, Chokster, it appears to be a uh 3. uh wait...a 6.4! Orton is REALLY getting over ya know... CO: Thanks. Oh come on! You're getting fucking ridiculous now. Vince: It was all due to the Steph and Linda reference by Bischoff! The public just loves my family! Hell, let's put em all in the World Title match, Shane, Marissa, lil Shane, Linda, Steph, Me, Ed; make it a 10 way.

You don't have to say anything more. You said it all in your fucks. *Wipes tear from eye* You said it all. You said it fucking all.

Correction, ARE. I got my negatives mixed up. Thank you. "There is no FUCKING way Family Guy (which I loved), News Radio (which I really liked), F&G/Undeclared (both which I gave a chance and didn't dig), are better than Firefuckingfly (FUCK YOU LAZ!)."

I just can't help but hate him for writing the script to Alien Resurrection. To be fair, he wouldn't blame you for this. ...and maybe by "bland" CL means "white".. Buffy wasn't exactly multicultural... unless you call various demons ethnic diversity Either way, this doesn't take away from "the best show ever" Firefly. Whose characters were far from bland... cept maybe Inara. BUT SHE WAS HOT.

There is no FUCKING way Family Guy (which I loved), News Radio (which I really liked), F&G/Undeclared (both which I gave a chance and didn't dig), aren't better than Firefuckingfly (FUCK YOU LAZ!). Homicide and Mr. Show I haven't seen so I can't comment.

KR, mine is similar. Austin/Hart Hart/Piper Savage/Warrior Savage/Flair Warrior/Hogan Savage/Steamboat Savage/Hogan Hart/Hart TLC 2 Benoit/Angle In that order.
