Jobber of the Week

I'm not saying it wouldn't gel. I'm saying it wouldn't draw.

Wasn't the futuristic looking one the one where people were tripping, falling down, and slipping a lot? I didn't watch WCW, but I remember early in my searches for wrestling information on the internet that wrestlers were having a tough time with the new set.

Seems like Carmella is ordained to win since they're building a character for her already. If they really were complaining about "Oh, she hates wrestling and the wrestlers and isn't really interested in the show" then I'd start rooting for her for the pure amusement of seeing the trainwreck that occurs after she wins. But you know it's a work.

Seems like they're constantly going to Canada, the south, Texas, etc. I'm only not going to the upcoming SF/Sac-town shows because I don't care to watch JBL's title reign or the Lita/Kane saga. And I generally try to go to every televised event I can. New York is their backyard so they run shows often there for that reason, I suspect. Also, they've been introducing a lot of guys that I guess we should call "experimental" (Orton, Cena, etc) and if you can't get over in NYC, you simply aren't going to get over.

This is what there was in the WM19 DVD. There was no shot with HHH and Kurt in the same place, and I know the HHH shot looks stupid but oh well, I can try again with another frame I guess: Oddly, the video of the Seattle press conference announcing the show was fucked with by the production team to show BROCK wearing the belt.

Pretty much what I was thinking, as well. Fitting, since that's pretty much what I've thought of just about every ShopZone shirt I've liked ("oh gee how nice, if only it didn't have sexual innuendo printed on it.")

More on the Tribune guy, here's the after action report:

I can't recall any moveon.org ad that ever got so much attention, kind of an unfair comparison.

Whatever.. That's right, let's just throw as many accusations around as we can. ONE HAS GOTTA STICK! Ah, okay, so not only is he several times a liar now, but broke military proceedure and probably the law. Good, good. Those beer keggers in Alabama are starting to sound like small potatoes now. Yeah, servicemen are exempt from making political statements, okay.

It's a debate show. Get used to it. And besides, there's a difference between that question and then bringing up the idea that he shot himself. And once you bring that up, you are in essence opening yourself up for the can of worms that follows.

I think car entrances should be limited to PPVs. One of the reasons that SCSA driving things into the room was interesting was that it was at first rather spontaneous and unexpected. These days, Bradshaw drives a limosine all the way inside and up through the entrance just to fight Shannon Moore and leave. At least the motorcycles were practical.

Once fully seated, No Way Out's crowd in SF was really rockin'. Only problem was by the time the snaking line outside got to us the show was half over and the building only half full.

Go buy a thicker skin. And most of them are fairly ridiculous. John Kerry shot himself, lied about enemy fire, lied about a Cambodia visit all the way back into the SEVENTIES so that he could build an entire alternate reality of lies to serve as the backdrop for a Presidential election many decades later. Oh jesus, how difficult is it to tell that he's retelling other peoples' stories in those soundbytes? Come on, at least "I actually voted for the $87 billion..." was him speaking in his own words. These guys are kooky, and you're even kookier for believing them. I hope you realize that supporting a bunch of TV ads with a group of old codgers making personal character attacks that informs the voter about nothing except "these men don't like John Kerry (today)" is about equivelant to me promoting F9/11 and telling everyone it's an excellent film. This Cambodia thing is supposedly the most airtight arguement these muckrakers have. How come I don't hear a peep about it in the commercials? And then you went loony enough to suggest that Bush file complaints about every other PAC and 527 in response to this one. I'll assume I don't need to mention that few 527s out there have been as libelous as anything we've seen from these guys in the past month, and that by doing what you describe Bush is defending the group when, as we've seen, even he is trying to distance his national campaign as far away as them as possible.

That these guys have changed their opinion around enough that, if they were attacking Bush, they'd probably be called Flip Floppers and lumped in with Kerry right about now? Don't let the facts get in your way...

Hey, if you're going to start throwing their accusations around (i.e. shrapnel,) you better be able to back them up. This is why I don't bring up kooky Moore conspiracies that I don't know about and doubt the validity of.

Hi there, would you like to appear on our debate show? You'll get promotion for your book if you appear. Gee, do you expect to get involved in a debate if you go on the show? Likely so, and as Rob said, she started it.

When did I complain about that, last time anyone cried of that happening was O'Reilly on Fresh Air, and I didn't complain about it either. The fact is that Hardball is a DEBATE show. So is H&C and O'Reilly, as tilted as they are. It is not Larry King Live. It is not David Letterman. It is not Regis.

I never said either host did that. I said O'Reilly wins through volume and interruptions and Hannity only likes people who kiss his ass.

Look at who's not talking. Plenty of people see too many holes in these guys' reputation to give an opinion about it beyond moderate interest, if any at all. Kerry and O'Neill have both claimed on TV to have been in Cambodia. This was when they were both quite a bit younger. What motivation does Kerry have to lie about it over 30 years ago? All the SBVfT crap will be revealed as bullshit, just give it time.

If he starts telling people to shut up then I'll stop watching him for good. Not really. Watching her get owned by D.L. Hughley on the Bill Maher show pretty much shows how ineffective she is as a TV talking head. Maybe Ann Coulter can give her some training. A show called Hardball is not where you go to pimp your book and duck questions. She should have gone on the Sean Hannity show if she wanted that treatment.

Yawn... http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0820041kerry1.html

I would have requested you roll over and die pre-Bush because you're that annoying. The non-hacks can stay, though. You wanna know how you can tell the non-hacks? They're not saying anything one way or the other right now because they don't necessarily believe these guys either. Except for O'Reilly, who transcends those hack/nonhack tests. What are you talking about? I'm talking about the new ad, released today, using lines from a Kerry hearing which is actually Kerry retelling what he had been told by other people. NY Times story: This week, as its leaders spoke with reporters, they have focused primarily on the one allegation in the book that Mr. Kerry's campaign has not been able to put to rest: that he was not in Cambodia at Christmas in 1968, as he declared in a statement to the Senate in 1986. Even Mr. Brinkley, who has emerged as a defender of Mr. Kerry, said in an interview that it was unlikely that Mr. Kerry's Swift boat ventured into Cambodia at Christmas, though he said he believed that Mr. Kerry was probably there shortly afterward. Admittedly, a Kerry campaign manager has a different retelling, that Kerry was in the Mekong Delta on the border on Christmas Eve. Again, it's one of those things that can't really be figured out either way. The Mekong river goes across the Cambodian border. Where are you having difficulties following along? It doesn't change anything unless you insist that what he meant was that he was there December 25th, and not any other day. See above. Common sense.

Oh, okay. I see what you mean there. Do you have anything to back that up? Their front page says ACT needs you to help beat George W. Bush and elect Democrats up and down the ticket in 2004 so I suspect they're not exactly trying to put on an air of objectivity. Amusing self-observance in action. THAT DARN LIBERAL MEDIA!

No thanks, I'd just prefer if yall rotted and died and then we wouldn't have to deal with it. Did you not even see that the quotes they used were taken out of context? He was describing what other people claimed to have seen. If you want to trap a guy in something like this, if you are going to assault his character, you can't leave room for error like that. Wah wah wah, Cambodia, wah wah wah. Why am I hearing this from so many now? It's one of those things you can't really prove either way. It certainly makes logic that he'd be up there around that time. A Kerry campaign advisor said he was there on Christmas Eve, but others assume it was simply Christmastime but not on the holiday itself. Since the other week? I don't watch O'Reilly regularly, so I can't answer that. The only information on the show site is a transcript of some interviews done on an episode where Bill had a stand-in. He still said it. He still said he found the advertisement to be wrong. And I'm sure every one of those 264 worked with Kerry personally? That's been one of the biggest myths about this so far, is exactly what it means to have someone who "served with Kerry" complain. Technically, anyone who served in Vietnam could say they served with Kerry and anyone else who fought in the war. Look for Bush to file a complaint against ALL of the 527's --- you know, the ones who have staff that seem to go back and forth between them and the DNC a bit too frequently --- who support Kerry. We now have undeniable proof that you are an idiot. I'd absolutely despise you if your ongoing support for all things GOP without regards to facts or previous opinions just wasn't so damn funny.
