    Considering Edge is his old brother in law that might not make the best confession, unless one hand washes the other in regards to cheating.

    Lockdown (4/13/2008)

    So I take it you hate all UWFI/NJPW/AJPW/NOAH matches after about 1995 then? Because Pancrase/Shooto fucked the formula up way back in the day before TNA tried to straddle the barrier between the two. The idea of worked shoots is two decades old at this point, let the shit breathe and move on. Fact and fiction don't have to be opponents all the time.

    On Benoit

    The difference is Bogart, Woody Allen, and Polanski didn't kill anyone. Benoit killed not only his wife, but his 7 year old son. That puts him in a whole different league, the only similar comparisons one could make that I can think of are to O.J. Simpson and Gig Young (an obscure actor who killed his wife and himself in the 70s). I can watch Naked Gun movies with no guilt even though O.J. is featured. Again, I separate the entertainer from the person. The on screen performer is not someone I ever knew or had the frame of reference to understand, judge or care for. Bps, I stopped caring about your opinion sometime back in 2002.

    On Benoit

    Am I the only person able to appreciate someone's efforts in their career as separate from their personal life? I can enjoy a Woody Allen movie even though I know he married his step daughter. I can watch Rosemary's Baby and enjoy it even though the director was accused of being a pedophile. I watch Humphrey Bogart movies and enjoy them even though Bogart was an abusive husband. I can watch a Benoit match and appreciate his efforts to entertain even though he murdered his son and wife before hanging himself. Does that make me a bad person? I don't think so. I think it makes me someone capable of seperating a person from their profession. I never knew or cared to know these people personally but that doesn't mean I am incapable of appreciating their efforts to entertain me. I believe the term is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Was Benoit, in the end, a mentally disturbed psychopath? No doubt, but he still did his job well and that's what I paid to see and be interested in. If it makes me less of a man to be able distinguish the person I saw portray a character I cared from from the person playing the role I never knew, well I guess I'm a piece of shit. I never knew Chris Benoit as a person so I can't judge him on that level, but I enjoyed Chris Benoit the wrestler and likely always will. I'll watch the first best of 7 series, Angle matches and NJPW J Cup Matches without a shred of guilt and enjoy them for them what they are because as far as I am concerned, they didn't drive a man to murder, his own mental instability did, in the same way Bogie's temper led him to slap Bacall around, Polanski's perversion drew him to little girls and Woody's nature made him decide on a teenage bride. Does it make their actions right? No. But I didn't invest in their personal lives, I paid for them to entertain me and if they did that, then I got what I wanted.

    I am assuming you've never seen Slackers which already featured a singing penis 6 years ago.

    MMA Starter Kit

    I'd like to nominate the Full Contact Fighter site for inclusion. They are a lot more comprehensive at times with their fightfinder search engine, including amateur shows a lot more. Since the Crave buyout things have went a bit to shit over at the 'Dog with admin issues out the ass due to too many cooks spoiling the broth. Portal Vale Tudo and ADCC news are also good for info on foreign events and fighters. Adrenaline MMA is funded by Affliction and has no links to M-1 Global, which was a Japanese event promoted by the existing M-1 promotion backed with additional funds from Japanese sources. M-1 Global is now defunct. Also interesting to note is that Affliction have been planning to get involved in the promotion side of things for a while, hence their gear being banned for fighters to wear on UFC events since the beginning of the year when word first circulated about them scouting for partners. Looks like Mark Cuban is going to be that partner. Josh Barnett is not with DREAM, he is with World Victory Road, as are Kevin Randleman and Roger Gracie.

    Heroes

    Not so much an 18 year old with a 30 year old, more the fact he was there for her 18th birthday on set and probably had his eye on her for a while now. I personally preferred Candice.

    Cloverfield

    Elaborate and well done hoax if that is the case but with the Slusho.jp site mentioning turning into whales in the "customer comments" and the whole "Yoshida dedicated her life to refreshment! Her classmates called her the Smallest Whale" thing I think this may have some merit, even if it's an early concept drawing and not the finished article we'll see on screen.

    Mutant whale with lice larger than people living on it. Not quite what I was expecting, but I guess the lice lay eggs in that woman and that's why she expands and explodes.

    EliteXC Renegade

    He wasn't high in the ring against Gomi otherwise his co-ordination would have suffered and even if he was, being high doesn't make you immune to pain, if I smoked a joint and someone broke my orbital bone, it'd still hurt like Hell, pot doesn't kill all your pain receptors but it does slow your reaction time, do you honestly thing he could have pulled out that last minute gogoplata if he was baked? Do you think he'd have even left the locker room? Don't you think the staff would have noticed smoking billowing out of his door when he opened it? Don't you think the referee would have noticed his red eye? Consider getting a better perspective on this subject before you speculate. And yes, you can say, "oh, the doctor said this and that", well, I doubt the doctor's been high and been punched repeatedly in the face before, let alone had his orbital bone fractured while stoned. I've been baked and got hit and it hurts just as much and is twice as distracting. Diaz actually showed some decent wrestling defense against Sean Sherk using the switch but I think he was able to defend so well because Sherk had to shoot from so far out because of the height difference.

    2007: Most disastrous year in WWE history?

    A little off topic, but am I the only one that thinks UFC is as fixed as wrestling? No, there are many like you who can't accept that just because their favourite "sport" to watch as a kid was/is worked, not every other physically violent sport is a co-operative wink wink nudge nudge exhibition. There are a few noted works in MMA history, all under the PRIDE banner and all of them associated with the early shows that had pro wrestlers like Nobuhiko Takada and Alexander Otsuka booked to get a puroresu crossover audience interested before they raided UFC, RINGS and IVC. They are known and not disputed. if the NSAC or CSAC suspected UFC were rigging fights, they'd not exist for very much longer. Real sports can't get away with rigging works without lawsuits, investigations and serious damage to their reputations. Look what happened to PRIDE when it was alleged Yakuza were trying to pay people to "put on a good fight but go down".

    2007: Most disastrous year in WWE history?

    They also lost a couple of international TV deals due to the Benoit tragedy which put their plans for international expansion back. MMA has drained some of their audience and brought back old wrestling fans who have now grown up. UFC now has the same kind of popularity WWE had in 98-99.
