Why, why, WHY are they hiring all of these losing Diva chicks? It's bad enough that they had to hire the one they DID hire, but why hire the losers? For one, none has any sort of real interest in the business or any talent to speak of. Second, it kinda negates the point of the contest itself to go around hiring all the losers. Frankly, I'd just have Bradshaw retain at this coming PPV. Having him job without being pinned is a horrible way to lose the title and it's not like he has SOOO much heat that jobbing him one on one would hurt things. I'd certainly job him to someone, anyone at the Rumble. You know, RVD and Rey could be one of the best teams ever if they actually had anyone decent to wrestle. It's sad seeing two great stars dicking around with the likes of Jindrak and Luther, Suzuki and Dupree. As far as Carlito goes, I think they just jobbed him out due to his injury. When he comes back he'll just say he lost due to being hurt and the actual match itself is quickly forgotten.

I might get shit for this but I liked the TATU song "All the Things She Said" but the rest of that CD is Eurotrash techno garbage.

I believe it was KENTUCKY of all teams that ended the epic OU win streak. Anyone wanna back me up on that? UK at one time had Adolph Rupp and Bear Bryant on the same campus. How the university survived is beyond me. Alas, since in KY nobody gives a shit about football compared to basketball UK stuck with basketball and Bryant ended up at Bama eventually and UK has sucked ass in football for the most part ever since. Dama, you are delusional if you think they would DARE give Jason White another Heisman. Hell, I'd repossess the one he currently has if anything, given his performances in the two big games last year.

You shall get Iowa St. and like it! Haha. I didn't give this much thought but at #10 U of L has an outside shot at a real bowl. I think you have to be top 12 to be considered, right? I don't think we'll get in one though, so I'm hoping Utah gets fucked as well so we get a Dream Game Liberty Bowl with U of L vs. Utah. First team to 50 wins.

I think Edge right now has the Raw tweener spot all locked up, and as such is the most interesting guy on the roster. Finally a guy who doesn't give a shit about teaming with people (even his "brother"), regardless of heel/face distinction. Big Dave certainly has more credibility in my book than Orton, and he's been a curious fave amongst net fans for a while now. Well maybe not a FAVORITE but most people on the net seem to like Batista better than most hoss guys. I see some nice things on the Raw side of things for next year. Orton will likely win the title, and the Batista face turn sounds good. Put him vs. HHH and have Edge finally go after the title and you have some interesting stuff.

I almost have a perverse interest in a Mark Henry/Vis feud. Car wreck possibilities. That said, why the fuck would they sign Viscera over Gangrel? Gangrel was over at one point and he has history with at least 2 guys on Raw in E and C. Hell, my friend Ian is still begging for a resolution to Edge and Gangrel!

The Broncos are most certainly not better than the Falcons...Vick and Co. trashed them by 2 TDs in Denver. The Eagles still have some possible tough games left, but the Falcons have the Saints twice, Panthers, a fading Giants, Bucs again, etc. Seahawks is really the only game that they probably would lose, and even that one is winnable.

Time to just abandon the whole division crap anyway...just have it be 1st place overall in the conf. vs. 2nd place. Thus it'd be OU vs. Texas in the Big 12 title game. And it'd be about the same quality game as Iowa St. would be, haha. But hey, at least it'd draw money and ratings, and really isn't that what college football is about? The thing about this is that if Auburn goes unbeaten and wins the SEC title game, then wins their bowl, we're looking at a split championship again. They'd be in a stronger arguing position than the 1 loss LSU last year. Besides, there are wild rivalry games yet to be played. OU just has crappy Baylor and a Big 12 North jobber...but USC has UCLA and ND left (both rivalry games) and Auburn has Bama, who you know would love to crush their rival's big season. If there's an upset, I almost think it could be Notre Dame. I base this on nothing other than ND can still get up for a big game if they are serious (Michigan, Tennessee).

I saw it and it was quite the guilty pleasure I thought. Here's Redman's role and it was funny as hell: Redman is directing a Biblical epic on the Virgin Mary and Jennifer Tilly wants in on it. She basically all but says she'll sleep with him in order to get the role. Chucky and Tiffany get the idea of possessing their bodies and it all goes from there. I actually quite enjoyed this movie. If you go in expecting serious horror, it won't be for you. I went in expecting a campy, silly time and it was certainly that.

I took a look at Wisconsin's schedule and it's not like they've done much impressive the entire year. I mean hell this past week John Saunders said they were the best team in the nation! How? That epic 2 pt. win over Arizona? Beating a fraudulent Purdue on a Kyle Orton fumble (which given Purdue's efforts since makes that win more dubious)? Beating a reeling Minnesota? There isn't a win there that you can point to and say "That was incredibly impressive." And next week I think they'll likely go down at Iowa, who has quietly put together a solid year. You know what's scary? The fact that some jobber in the Big 12 North has a shot at a major bowl. It's a slight chance to be sure, but the idea of scrubs like Iowa St. ending up in a BCS bowl while my team (U of L) dicks around at the Liberty Bowl is sickening.

I believe I called that MSU ownage of Wisconsin early on in this thread. Badgers have been getting by on smoke, mirrors, and a crappy Big 10. Michigan is easily the superior team, though the two don't actually meet.

USC's the defending champions, halfway anyway. If they go undefeated they have to be in the title game. That's just reality. As far as Wisconsin goes, yeah if they beat MSU then people will say they beat another shitty team. The Big 10 is full of shitty teams this year. Wisconsin is kinda like Purdue in basketball: They only win the Big 10 when it sucks ass. If they get by MSU then I think Iowa can take them down and Michigan will win the conference. One less headache for the BCS, heh.

RVD wrestled quite different styles when he first was in ECW feuding with Sabu in 96 than when he left ECW in early 2001. Those early Sabu matches feature some crazy shit that I've NEVER seen anywhere else (stuff like monkey flips onto chairs with the legs sticking out, diamond cutters off the top with a guy's leg caught in the ropes...just insane shit). This was also the only time I've seen RVD play an outright asshole heel, cussing the crowd, refusing to shake Sabu's hand. He was damn good at it too I might add. No rolling thunder, 5 star, or any traditional RVD spots at that time. I have seen damn near every RVD/Lynn match that was ever televised and I feel safe in assessing them: Aug. 1998, ECW TV: I referred to this one earlier, RVD damn near put his eye out on a piece of table. Also hit the best northern lights suplex I've ever seen (ECW included this in the opening highlight reel for a year or so). This was a very good, albeit forgotten, match. Living Dangerously 99: I hated this match for a variety of reasons. 1. It was blatant that they were trying to get Lynn hyped past his level of credibility (New F'N Show? Give me a break). 2. The finish is the stupidest thing I've ever seen in ECW, with the ref literally trying to award Lynn the title on points rather than a pin or submission. Hardcore Heaven 99: This match has a lot of good stuff in it, but alas is remembered as the match where the serious RVD stalling began. Probably essential viewing since there was little during this time period from the Big 2 that was quite like it. Sept. 1999, TNN show: They had a match that Justin Credible ran in on, but that isn't this one. Lynn had heavily bandaged ribs here (allegedly Impact Players attacked him, but it was from landing on a thumbtack in the previous match). This had heat like nothing you'll ever see, as the ECW Arena seemed to desperately want Lynn to win the match. To be honest this is where he probably SHOULD have won the TV title and RVD move up to the World title. This was a great match though, and I dare say the best of the series. Hardcore Heaven 2000: This was after RVD got back from injury. Scott Keith actually liked this better than the other matches, I'd say due to RVD jobbing here. Match was decent but the Anton heel turn was so blatant that it killed it. Guilty as Charged 2001: Lynn wrestled here in jeans. I don't recall much about to be honest, wasn't real memorable other than it was the last ECW PPV. There was also a Heat match from 2001 but it was so edited down that it came off like an RVD squash. A motivated RVD that isn't constantly stalling (1998, 2001) is one of the most exciting wrestlers in the world. Sadly, he hasn't given a shit for nearly 2 years.

I swear the Big 12 is as unbalanced in terms of the divisions as C-USA is in basketball (at least for this last year, hee hee). In C-USA you have Louisville, Cincy, and Marquette all on one side and the other you have Memphis and jack shit. Come to think of it, the Big 12 is the same in basketball as well, with OU and TX fighting for their lives in the South while Kansas usually cruises to the Conf. title via a crap North. I think it is time to simply take the two best teams from a league if you're gonna play these Conf. title games. Though to be honest I don't think OU vs. TX II would be much better than OU vs. Iowa St. Which is sad.

Frankly I don't think anyone will care about this sequel to 9/11. I mean compared to the first film anyway. It MIGHT be a nice cult hit along the lines of Bowling For Columbine but it won't be a huge blockbuster.

As I said, the SMDN survivor match will hopefully go as follows: Team Eddie beats the shit out of Jindrak, Luther, and Carlito, thus Angle is all alone. The match actually would be better than the Raw match if it follows this formula and gets rid of the deadwood.

I'd like to see some ECW stuff that you don't see every day on this DVD. I remember a crazy show where RVD defended the TV title against Jerry Lynn and got table fragments in his eye...then came back later in the show and defended the tag titles single handed against the Dudleys. How about some stuff with him and Sabu vs. Candido and Storm. I used to like those matches a lot. It's not surprising to me that RVD was hilarious on the Eddie DVD. I remember some of the net chats that he used to post on his website and those had me laughing my ass off. Why is it that WWE doesn't let him do this stuff?

The SMDN Survivor match is one of the biggest mismatches I've ever seen. One one side we have: Eddie, RVD, Big Show, Cena. And on Angle's side? Jindrak, Luther, and Carlito. My god that is just BAD. Sadly enough I can't help but think Angle's jobbers will all get eliminated and he'll be down 3-1 or something and rally to damn near win the match. It's really the only way to book it, the only variable is whether he pulls off the comeback or falls short against Eddie or whoever is last.

I don't like the new I, Max at all. It's funny how annoying Kellerman is when he spends most of a show talking to guests and Vegas gamblers instead of being carried by Holley. I basically watch the first 10m or so that Holley is on, then flip it off. ATH is perhaps declining because you can tell there is legit heat between these guys. Whereas on PTI Tony and Mike are just fucking with each other, guys like Mariotti and Paige seem to REALLY hate each other. It doesn't help that they have had Josh "Dreamboat" Elliott on way too much lately instead of Woody.

Yeah but they CAN'T ever have #30 actually win the Rumble. It renders the entire hour preceding it pointless to just have the last guy win as he should. There might be riots over it, heh. What's up with this Booker/Bradshaw thing? I mean they can't seriously think Bradshaw can hold the title too awful much longer. I thought that the main idea was to job him out to Booker and use Book as a transition guy to Angle or whoever. And incidentally, how does Bradshaw have this kind of backstage power to the point where he can refuse to job? I mean he's FUCKING BRADSHAW.

The Connery movies have a bit of continuity to them since SPECTRE is always the heel faction. Basically you have the subordinates like Dr. No, Rosa Klebb, Number 2, etc. Then you have Blofeld himself who gets truly introduced as a character around You Only Live Twice (he'd just been the man in the shadows before this). Come to think of it, Blofeld was NEVER really killed off in a satisfactory manner....last we saw of him was the aforementioned Roger Moore visiting the grave scene, where Bond subsequently drops Blofeld into a smokestack! Bear in mind that's like the first 10 mins of For Your Eyes Only. A long running heel deserved better. That's my answer: kick it old school and bring back Blofeld, and let Bond do away with him in grand fashion.

I've heard the Spurrier to SC stuff as well, but for whatever reason I can't see this happening. I think NC's coach may have saved his job by beating Miami, but who knows. I'd kinda like to see UK make a run at Spurrier. It's a given that Rich Brooks is going to be fired big time after the likely 1-10 disaster. Only real problem is that he'd always been #2 at UK to basketball, whereas at SC he really wouldn't be. UK at least has a history of running Spurrier's style of offense under Hal Mumme, so it won't be as anachronistic as doing a fun n' gun with bone and club South Carolina. And yes, as I predicted U of L nuked TCU tonight. Frankly I wish it had been worse than it was (55-28). After TCU beating us 3 straight I was wanting an absolute maiming tonight, particularly since they ran it up on us a couple of years ago.

It's the perks of being in a 2nd rate conference like C-USA. The only national TV games they can get are on weeknights. And since U of L is essentially the only program in C-USA football that has any potential of drawing money, they usually get stuck with these shitty Wednesday or Thursday games. Thankfully next year U of L joins the Big East and given the overall mediocrity of that league I'd say a BCS birth is in the cards. I'm maybe worried about West Virginia, always wondered why U of L never played them more after that awesome game in 1993.

I think they need to do something similar to the Lazenby movie On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Something in a different direction. Of course, the main problem with that is that the previous 3 Connery movies all made over 20 million in 60s money, then OHMSS made 11 million, only to bounce back to 20+ for Diamonds Are Forever (the last real Connery one). If they really wanted to do something a bit different, let Tarantino do his Casino Royale with Brosnan with a lesser budget.

Tomorrow U of L completes the trifecta of revenge on last year's losses (well assuming we never get to play Miami of OH again soon). Already smashed S. Florida, edged Memphis last week, and now TCU. I hope this one isn't pretty. Am I the only one who thinks Wisconsin could go down this week at MSU? State has played well at times this year.
