Now that was something I thought I'd never see at the end of a HHH/Benoit match...

It's in my sig...I wrote it down that night because I wanted to remember it.

I demand photographic proof.

Thanks for that - it brought tears to my eyes... RIP Eddie. You'll be missed.

Umm...when are you counting from? I seem to remember Jericho being the first person in that list... at that point, they were still two separate belts, and weren't "merged" until HHH beat Jericho.

Nobody's mentioned the other good thing about the split from a business standpoint - it allows them to tour around essentially with two separate rosters. With the split, they can have both RAW and Smackdown putting on two different shows with "main event characters" in two different cities - at the same time. They can have RAW one night and Smackdown the next without requiring everybody to be there, essentially giving the rosters more time off. It also allows them to give more TV time to more people. Granted, it's a lot of the same people most of the time, but imagine seeing the same 10 people on both shows combined, rather than the same 10 on RAW and a different 10 on Smackdown (for a combined total of 20 - that's definitely more people) - less of a chance to tire out your viewing audience. Don't forget, there's a lot more to the split besides what we see on TV. It's also an excellent decision from a business perspective.

The BBC has picked up the story as well: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4400148.stm It's a bit easier of a read for those a little less technically inclined...

Seems the copy protection software the Sony is using essentially behaves like a virus: it pretends its from somewhere else, cloaks itself from the OS, scans your system processes, contact's Sony's webpage, and may crash your system... Sony has gone and pretty much released a rootkit on their music CDs. http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/s...tal-rights.html Follow up to the rootkit. http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/11/m...decloaking.html And already some one is using the rootkit to cheat at WoW. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/04/secfocus_wow_bot/ Basically the gist of it is Sony installs a rootkit on Windows PCs that hides files from the operating system that begin with $sys$. Apparently it does some nasty things with the 64bit version of Windows XP as well.

And Cena taps

A "Lets go Angle!" chant~!

Did I miss something with the Hurricane?

Thank you god, it's over. The Katie Vick thing was still worse at least, so it's not a completely new low.

HAHAHA The random commentary seems like it's coming straight from a game

Nope, an owl... EDIT: Never mind... there's the hand.

It's like one of those old-fashioned radio shows with the random sound effects...

God no...

Coach: "You're lucky Vince can't hear what you're saying right now...I'm gonna tell him" King (under his breath): "You little snitch..."

It's not quite right watching Todd Grisham pimp out a skateboarding video game...especially with the trying to "talk the talk"...

How would it reveal anything? There's no titles in effect for Smackdown on Taboo Tuesday, and all they have to do is not talk about it - "it's a RAW pay-per-view, why should we talk about it?"

Wow...I forgot how incomprehensible the Warrior was...

Hey - they didn't do a crowd pan - they actually showed the hit! (I'm in Canada, so on TSN, they usually edit the guy -> girl hits out with crowd shots...)

Agreed - "Mr. Suckdown"??

Lita: Rey is the inspiration for the midgets! Gold~!

Are they turning JBL face?

So... I guess they want to have a cage match...could they make it any more obvious? It's kinda not too useful to do the vote thing if they're just going to feed the "right" vote to the marks...
