  1. Correct, putting someone over involves so much more then a simple loss. Guys like Hogan, Austin, Rock, Triple H, UT, Flair....have their status cemented right now. Even when they lose, there is usually a circumstance or a burial the next night on Raw or something in the near future that renders their losses meaningless. Truly putting someone over takes more then a simple job.
  2. Al, Will Bobby Crosby do anything to help the A's this season? With all his injuries mounting, will he get on the field in time to get a feel for the plate with enough time to be a key piece for the playoff push?
  3. Anyone ever see Rover Dangerfield?
  4. Have you seen Fitz's myspace page? She talks about how she likes to show off her tits to people.......and play with them.
  5. Just checked and OF COURSE I am out of town when Feast screens here. On the bright side I will be in Houston, and it does screen there. I just have to talk my friend into going to it. I never understood why this didn't make it into a wide release. It looks just as good as any other generic horror movie out there. Maybe because it is Rated R, which is a big no-no in today's Horror Movie Rules....!?!
  6. This DVD is a fucking joke.
  7. One of my brand new favs.....
  8. Seriously, phasing out guys like Doring and CW Anderson, to make room for Test, Striker, and Dupree? For fucks sake......
  9. It WAS scheduled for Chicago, until Vince didn't like the ECW crowd at Hammerstein Ballroom, acting like an ECW Crowd.....I think he will be in for a suprise when he realizes ECW fans will travel for a PPV Card.
  10. Jak & Dexter AND Ratchet & Clank.........I already had sports game, shooters, strategy, stealth etc...I was looking for games that just looked fun to play....games that define FUN....so I was at Frys and both these games were in the Greatest Hits section. I hadn't read much, but figured they were probably Crash Bandicoot updates.....bought 'em....loved both series ever since.
  11. True, except immediately after, Batista was shipped off to the B-show to be forgotten about.....It would have been SOMETHING if instead HHH went to Smackdown to let Batista reign on Raw, while Triple H took on the task of trying to revamp Smackdown.
  12. I wonder if they are the same size.......
  13. I'd say the last big rub was given to Triple H by Mick Foley. Mick did the job every time, in every way possible, and each consecutive time, the fans were SO SURE Foley was going to win. THAT was the way to put someone over.
  14. I think Jericho was more comedic in WCW where he basically said something different every week, made up new stuff. In WWE they tend to want to control your promos more, where if you get a catchphrase that is hot, they want you to come out every week at repeat it. A lot of what he did in WCW was more offbeat and off the cuff. He still did some good stuff in WWE, but I prefer his WCW material.
  15. The thing is, putting someone over has so much more to it then simply doing a job. Look at Benoit, Jericho, and others, they won their big matches, walked away with belts, but within a few months it didn't mean much anymore. Until guys like Triple H and UT are ready to leave the ring for good, I doubt they will TRULY put someone over.
  16. Whenever you buy a ready-made system it is wise to spend the extra cash to try and obtain specs that are a little ahead of their time, because trying to manually upgrade ready-made systems are sometimes a bitch.
  17. I think, his match where he won the ECW TV Title should be notable, since he was definately an underdog and no one saw it coming.....also the 4-way Dance for the TV Title was an Outstanding match, even though Jericho was the first one eliminated, which might contribute to keeping it off the top 10.
  18. I am guessing either Paula, which would make sense considering her troubled life, or Svetlana because it would go with her being a Young,Wealthy,Spoiled Brat.
  19. Remember Screech's method to help Zach remember the plant's order from the Sun in Saved by the Bell... MVEMJSUNP
  20. Well for those that watched the Reunion Show, it was pretty hilarious, and it seemed like there was a concentrated effort to make Tyler look like an asshole, however he did this interview with Metro NY, and talked about how there was clever editing to get to the finished product...we all know this takes place during the actual season, but it was hilarious how much they jerked around with the Reunion show itself..... http://ny.metro.us/metro/entertainment/art...llain/4093.html Yesterday afternoon, we got a call from Tyler Duckworth, the gay kid on “The Real World: Key West,” who was shocked and appalled to find out that the producers at MTV had cobbled together an unflattering montage for the “Real World” reunion, which aired last night. Although he was suffering from food poisoning from the stuffed lobster linguine at the Ivy (“Now I know why Nicole Richie is so skinny — she just pukes it out”), he took time to fill us in on the massacre. These days, he’s working on comedy sportscasting, stand-up and a nonprofit Web site for openly gay athletes. “So I’m keeping busy between being vilified in the media,” he says. “Someone has to stand up for the lonely homos.” OK, give me the set-up, about the reunion. It’s been seven months. Right beforehand, we get all liquored up. It’s all friendly. Then when we get onstage, they play this montage with every bad thing I’ve ever said. Everyone is seething. It’s like they’re playing the “Lord of the Rings” trailer — with me in the role of Sauron. Let me guess: Then everyone said how much they love you. Svetlana deserves an Oscar. She starts out by saying, “I just wanted you to know how verbally abusive you’ve been.” Has she been doing crack with Whitney lately? Then we cut to a commercial break, and Svetlana, dry-eyed, snaps, “Can I get a Diet Coke, please?” They came after me with pitchforks and torches! And I’m thinking: Where is this pent-up angst coming from? Is this a Nirvana video? Were you the sole target of the producer’s ire? Paula, as you may know from the tabloids, was arrested when she bit her boyfriend. When she was asked about him, she said, “We’re growing together.” And I said, “Do domestic abuse charges count as growing? Can we talk about ending the cycle of abuse?” No one in the cast stood by me. But backstage, a few said to me, “Oh my God, I’m so glad you said that.” Where were they onstage? Were there sneaky tricks in the editing room? Svetlana, for example, said gay people are child molesters — and they just showed my reaction. That’s like me saying, “Women are bitches! You should stay in the kitchen,” then just showing the footage of you reacting. I can’t defend myself against misleading evidence. And I said I was sorry for these things six months ago. It’s not like I performed an abortion on you! Get over it! Good luck with getting arrested! Good luck with that cocaine habit! I’m not naming names — the media will catch up soon enough. --------- And Tyler is 100% correct when it comes to Paula, the bitch is crazy-messed up, maybe not as much as before the show, but the fact that she is still with the same abusive boyfriend,and now she gets arrested for domestic violence, it shows the cycle of violence that she can't get out of, and when Tyler tried suggesting it, Paula, like the typical ingrate, didn't want to listen to any suggestion that would come to the conclusion that maybe the relationship she is in is unhealthy and bordering dangerous.

    Ok I have to Edit my last post for a 2nd time...it actually is FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS that is coming here tomorrow night, it is just that one of the fights is featuring the guy from the Contender.
  22. Speaking of the DDT, I remember in ECW a lot of people used it as a finisher, which was something else that made ECW different, in that the ending sequence in most matches didn't end with the same setup and finishing manuever every single time. Sometimes, a guy would just break out a vicious DDT at the right time onto a guardrail or something and the match would end. It helped add to the match that you never knew exactly how the match would end.....guys would often miss their signature moves and have to resort to other ways to win.
  23. Stuffed Crust - Outer ring stuff with melted mozzarella cheese Toppings - Mozzarella Cheese, Black Olives, Mushrooms, Onions(shredded), Bacon, Pepperoni, Sausage. I would put an extra layer of cheese on top of all the other toppings, so all the toppings are under a layer of melted cheese.
  24. The way Knox and RVD take the DDT, it makes it look like it could actually be a finishing move again.
