Imagine how that time could have been used developing an actual character on the show...

Then you discover that Canadian Chick is a robot made by Edge Industries for the sole purpose of spreading Edge Propaganda. "Love...Edge...Love... I... I-I-I..Think...I...know...y...y...y...you.."

No, because the context would be different. Besides, those matches sucked. Ok, they didn't suck, but there are better matches to re-enact.

benoit vs. angle wasn't very long IIRC, how can it be clipped?

Stan Hansen, not Akiyama...

Oh, and I'll point this out again... THIS GUY is on a WWE DVD.

You know, up until Austin/Hart right... ? I'm actually kinda hyped for this DVD... Shit.

You're smooth, slick, very smooth.

The Good.. Blondie. Yeah, horrible acting and stuff, but some really, really, nice eye candy... good lord some very nice eye candy. Boy was it cold in one scene I'd tap it. "What are you, like some sort of Frankenstein" "What?... No" Fred talking to Blondie about her 5 year stay, I liked it cause I was thinkin about it at the same time. That was pretty funny as well, cause it's so over-the-top, as well as "Angel with a soul" deal. But then she didn't continue along the same thought-process of her blocking herself away from the world, and how that only hurt her.. and how she knew what isolation was like. Spike's "history" with Wes. They should have him try that with everyone and have everyone call his bullshit. The Doctor-dude... that doctor-dude is the doctor-dude on Star Trek: Enterprise!! YEAH! DADDY! I was comparing Buffy with Star Trek like a week or two ago! YEAH! I don't watch Enterprise so I didn't really MARK OUT like I should have, but I still kinda did!! YEAH! I'm kinda sad to see him go. And that "Oh, he took the juice" bit, fuck that. I ain't havin that. They shouldn't mess with Lornes readings; they did last year and it sucked. Fuck Cordy. The Bad This doesn't feel like Angel anymore. The end, with the fucking david gray-esque music (or it was, infact, david gray) had a whole After-School Special feel to it that made me want to puke. I thought it might be a dream, or just fucking with us, and the real ended had the warewolf fucking everything up proper, but it was just fucking hugs and chinese food... what the fuck? There's not really enough pressure on the season, I miss the big bads. I miss the giganto story-arcs. This is so fucking season one, and I already seen Season 1... Season 5 of Buffy had all the kinks worked out, all the characters established, and then played with it. Now we're getting all this new shit. Fuck that shit.

Mir vs. Ricco is rumoured to be the Main Event at UFC 45 and it would be for the title. Mir was supposed to fight Sylvia at the show, and Ricco never got a rematch, so they would be the 2 logical contenders for the belt. I say put Arlovski vs. McGee out there, it's a bit risky, but McGee's standup was particularly pathetic against Sylvia, and Arlovski is a pretty darn good striker. Not exactly the most robust division on the planet...

Some of this stuff is not 100% confirmed... -PrideFC Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko (Or Emelianenko Fedor) has left the Russian Top Team and is now with the Red Devil team. From what I hear, the judo/sambo-based Red Devil team is a better place for him with better stand-up and more guys to train with. -UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia has been stripped of his title, fined $7,500, and is suspended for 4 months. (MMAWeekly Radio). Well, I guess he dropped the title on his own accord (Zuffa suggested it would be easier that way) -Early estimates for UFC 44 (Randy vs. Tito) has the show doing 80,000 buys. The company has ranged from 35,000 to 60,000 buys with the exception of the Ortiz vs. Shamrock PPV (which did 120,000 I beleive, it isnt printed in the story) As it turns out the show at Mandalay Bay didnt do nearly as good as was reported. The real figures were 10,143 fans. Heavily papered, as they only drew 7,593 paid for a gate of $1,127,985....well under the $1.6 million estimated initally after the show. This fell short of the $1,540,940 that Ortiz vs. Shamrock did. (From Da Meltz via Sherdog) -UFC will be airing their Infomercial "From Spectacle to Sport" on PPV for $9.99. However, added with that are 2 undercard matches from UFC 44 (Franca vs Uno, Thompson vs. Strebend). I've seen the infomercial and it's nice work, but for anyone who has followed the UFC for any bit of time would see it as a fluff piece. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the world’s premiere mixed martial arts sports association, will debut UFC: Spectacle To Sport, a one-hour pay-per-view special, on the iNDemand cable system at 10 p.m. EDT, this Saturday, October 18. An encore replay will start at 11 p.m., EDT, immediately afterward. Replays also will air on October 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28 and November 3, 13 and 14. The suggested retail price is $9.95. Viewers should check local listings and www.indemand.com for daily schedules. UFC: Spectacle To Sport will provide an action-packed overview of the UFC’s evolution from a pay-per-view spectacle 10 years ago to the professional combat sport it has become today. The one-hour feature also will include the never-before-seen lightweight battles between submission specialist Hermes Franca (8-0-0) of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Japanese veteran Caol Uno (13-5-3) of Kanagawa, Japan, and Josh “The Punk” Thomson (23-1-0) of San Jose, Calif., and Gerald Strebendt (6-3-0) of Los Angeles, Calif., from the all-star, nine-fight card at UFC 44: Undisputed, September 26, from Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Hosted by Showtime, fight analyst and commentator Al Bernstein, UFC: Spectacle To Sport will give viewers an in-depth look at how the UFC was founded in 1993 and details its growth and transition from an international spectacle into a true professional combat sport under the new ownership of Zuffa, LLC, its Las Vegas-based parent company. The UFC story is told through the eyes of principal owner Lorenzo Fertitta and President Dana White, celebrities like Joe Rogan, host of NBC’s Fear Factor, fighters such as Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz, as well as mixed martial artists and mainstream journalists who have covered and reported the UFC’s growth. (MMAfighting.com) -King of the Cage has reinstated knee's-to-the-head on the ground (like Pride) From the KOTC Promoter: "KOTC will be reinstating knees to the head on the ground. After serious review of events where knees to the head on the ground were allowed. We at KOTC have seen no more damage occur from this type of strike then any other to the head while on the ground. Henceforth, they will be deemed legal strikes." (Sherdog MB)

Ok, by "lately" you mean "for the past 3 years" right?

Last WWE PPV: No Mercy 01. However, I have seen Pride 25, 26, GP, and UFC 42, 43, 44... and actually purchased 3 of them... In otherwords, there are better things on PPV in 03 than the WWE.

Missing a PPV when you're healthy is almost as bad (if not worse) than losing on PPV. That should have been taken into consideration.

Edge has been jippin us on the past 2 Edgucations. I feel unedgucated.

I just swept aside the Austin/Hart comment, why the hell do most people not do the same ? I want my 10 points dammit! (Refer to Page 3 for point system)

Meltzer also calls Kurt Angle "The Next Ric Flair"

Hmm, funny that you mention that... real funny.

The WWE should just offer to donate X million dollars to the WWFund in exchange for the right to use the old footage. I'm sure the WWE's lawyers could work something out.

Because the WWE at the time had their logo elsewhere... on the apron, on shirts, etc. etc. WWE released "Cause Stone Cold Said So" back in what, 1997?

Oh shit, how did I end up in this thread?? The show opened with John Cena's music hitting, and Kurt Angle coming to the ring dressed as Cena (complete with homeboy visor and Jacksonville Jaguars jersey). Angle "rapped" about how he (calling himself Cena) was so tough. This was entertaining and I won't spoil all the good lines he had. Then Kurt Angle's music hit, and a midget dressed as Angle came out. Some funny back and forth between the two took place. The midget scared off "Cena" eventually, then "Cena" tried to attack him, but was taken down. The midget then put "Cena" in the ankle lock, which made him tap out immediately. This brought out the real John Cena, and he and Angle exchanged words briefly before the midget Angle gave Cena a low blow. Some more back and forth, and finally officials separated the two men. Oh shit, how did I post this? RRR: Very confused right now.

Stephanie cried (literally) over what her father has done to her, then said she hated him, and later said she loved him, then talked about how she would never forgive him and wouldn't let him walk her down the aisle should she ever get married "again," would never allow him to see any future grandkids, etc. I give that about 3 months.

"I actually threw two hiptosses last week" *Bites lip* That's our Edge.

It's the hard-sell, there are never a lot of matches.

It can't be legit.. they couldnt have done the midget thing... they aren't THAT stupid.
