In Bloodsport, there's a scene where he trades body kicks with a Muay Thai guy. The Muay Thai guy looked Mexican, which was very confusing, but made sense when his Muay Thai sucked and Van Damme kicked him into oblivion.

But Savate looks so cool in Van Damme movies.

Hey guys, MMA Rox, doesn't it?

Being excited about the WWE, especially in todays era, is like the simpsons episode where Lisa experiments on Bart with a cupcake (that is made to give off an electric shock). Only WWE fans have been shocked constantly for 5 years and anyone still going "Oooh, a cupcake!" is a fucking retard.

I'm sure she's a great gal. My heart (?) is with Rachelle Leah, though. http://www.theultimatefighter.tv/girls.php?id=45

Yeah, for real, whenever I see a company blatently exploit the death of a worker, I see that the future is bright. Eddies death really helped put things into perspective for the WWE, and helped them see how much they could milk someone dying. Like, that stuff with Orton that all turned out to be completely fucking worthless? That's high-end stuff, right there. The WWE is peaking on all levels.

The only time I will ever get excited about the WWE is if they made drastic changes to the writing team (which includes getting rid of Steph) as well as the way they present and produce the shows, until then, they could sign Randy Couture to feud with Kurt Angle and their first encounter could be amazing and I'd still know they were going to fuck it up, because that's what they (the WWE) do. Anyone getting excited because of how "fresh" Cena/Edge/HHH is, which is just HHH being HHH with two new shmucks, or because Joey Styles made comments that Paul Heyman said on Smackdown 4 1/2 years ago and which Joey made constantly 6+ years ago, needs some perspective. When RAW starts up it will be the same opening with the same announcers under the same format they have been using for 10 fucking years. The same stupid writers led by the same stupid woman writing for the same stupid Vince. I've stopped getting excited about any minor change in WWE programming because it never lasts and it all turns out the same way and nothing actually ever changes. How some people haven't learned this after 5 years is mind-boggling. How some people haven't learned this after the night ECW came back and ended with Steph owning the company, or after HHH turned on every partner he had, or after Vince does, well, everything Vince does. There is no hope. Fuck. Why do people have to start silly fucking threads like these?

What I love is the eventual DX partnership will eventually break up and we will get HHH vs. HBK part 5 billion. Trish/Mickie is so exciting the crowd goes silent so they don't miss a word. Lil Retard is Smackdowns champ, and Mark Henry is one of their top guys. We get a worthless sack of shit in The Great Kahli burying the cruiserweights leading up to a shitty feud and match with Taker guaranteeing that Singh is gone by the start of fall. And lets not forget the return of the DIVA SEARCH!! Maria is sooooooooooo hot, guys. I can't wait. I'd diss the tag divisions, but what tag divisions?

Mid-Life Crisis, Duh. You know, like Hall and Nash with the WolfPac. Get some younger guys to hang around with and oggle big tittied women, all the while, making smart ass shoot comments that bury everyone and help no one. God I can't wait! ARE YOU READY?! Carlito can be their Konnan and give them their latin street cred. Rob Conway can be their Disco Inferno-like lacky.

MAY 19TH! MAY 19TH! God I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!! How will they brillaintly incorporate The Marine into John Cenas storyline? I CAN'T WAIT! May b Cena will turn out to rilly b a Morine~! LO.>.>L UMANGA!! TATANKA! THEY ARE SUCH FUN WORDS TO SAY! XXXCITEMENT!

DX is just another excuse for HHH to take up time on TV and jerk off and get to do it with his good buddy Shawn. That they did the DX reunion in 2002 and HHH turned on Shawn and are going for it again is typical WWE bullshit. The ECW shows are going to be taped before a WWE audience, in a WWE arena, in a WWE ring. Explain how I am supposed to be excited about this? Because it will lead to an ECW/WWE feud? When has the WWE ever been capable of pulling off something like that? It will fail. But YAY we get Joeys worthless SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT promo. The WWE is about as fresh as 10 year old buried corpse. Guess what? Vince is trying to relive 1997 with DX, SS in Montreal, ECW making an invasion, in what I assume is a futile attempt at recreating the circumstances that led to his last boom. It's sad and pathetic and indicative of a company that has no real sense of direction. The WWEs good wrestlers are slowly fading away and their prospects for the future suck. The shows suck. The matches suck. The wrestlers suck. The writing sucks. Vince McMahon gropes a chick throughout the night and sticks his tongue down her throat and I am supposed to be excited about the company he runs? Where he has completely forgotten about the GM situation because he's having too much fun on camera? Where JR gets "fired" on TV, where we have to put up with insulting skits that have no benefit other than to serve Vinces ego, just for JR to be brought back a few months later? It's clear this is a vanity promotion and it always will be. Oh yeah!! WWE IS HOT!~

The physical transformation was astounding. Very impactful.

We just played it like, someone has the ball, hits it into another square, then that person hits it into any other square and we'd keep goin until someone missed or it bounced twice. We were roughneck like that.

Nah, that's what Cameron/Rok thought and House dispelled that by asking Foreman to raise his hand.

The 1,2,3,4 square I am not very familiar with.

Ray and Yolanda are much like Yuchena and Joyce in how they were under the radar for a while and were solid enough to let the other teams make mistakes which puts them ahead by default.

Back in tha day, in the school yard, we would just take chalk and draw out the squares and play from there and a few years later they painted squares, and then it became all corporate and shit. My neighbour had a driveway that was perfect for four square as it was concrete and had the pre-made squares that were the right size. I was reading the wikipedia stuff and not a lot of it carried over to our games.

BTW, this is what happens when you get loaded and end up in Jail.

Is there anything even comparable in pro wrestling to sak jumping? Hall was never as big or meaningful to the WWE as Sak was to PRIDE. Hogan wasn't so much of a surprise when he got to WCW.

I thought it was just a local game we played as kids, but apparently it's a pretty common schoolyard game. Who played it, and what rules did you have/variations used? Did you use a tennis ball or something else? I remember before each game the person who would start with the tennis ball would say the rules ("Double Bouncies, no erasies times infinity plus one spit on it" for example - though often we would play straight-up because it got whacky with too many rules) and we'd have special techniques (my favourite, the "Michael Jordan" where I'd jump in the air, spike the ball while grabbing my groin.) Another fun game we'd play was War. We'd take chalk and draw out a huge square and semi-squares within it which would be countries (naturally, some countries would be bigger than others), and we'd write our countries name into the square ("Canada", "US", etc - there would also be a neutral zone at times) and one person would start off with a basketball or a soccer ball and say "I declare war on... FRANCE!" and throw the ball into the square and the person in France would have to chase after it. In that time, you had the opportunity to claim territory in that country by making a chalk outline ( but you couldn't be in Frances square - you either had to be on the outside of the big square, have permission from another country to enter their space and draw from there, or stay within your own country and reach into the attacked country and draw from there. You could move into any marked territory (marked with the initials or full name of your country) and the objective was to capture every bit of space in the world. This was probably my favourite game. So much fun. If it were socially acceptable, I would so be playing that this summer. It'd be interested in hearing what games everyone here played as kids, and seeing if it's a local thing, or if other kids played it. It's not like we buy these games at the store, or learn them from our parents - it just travels from kid to kid and place to place.

Thank Jesus. Elliot is rather tiny.

If Elliot gets eliminated before Paris, I will be... disappointed.
