I remember this episode. Mick Foley said in his book that the meeting before the night pretty much did away with all the cartoonish characters. I wasn't really fond of the Melanie Pillman appearance but that's Vince. I remember reading somewhere that Hunter was actually supposed to pin Bret in this match (why?) but Bret lobbied for a countout instead.

I also have to give props to the NHL and PA who are STILL apparently dotting the i's and crossing the t's and have been meeting nonstop since TUESDAY AT NOON. That's almost 24 consecutive hours.

I agree with that. I've fell even more in love with Baseball the past year but I have a feeling that once the first week of the nhl season is back, a lot of us will be forgetting that this lockout ever took place.

Why do people who obviously dislike the nhl always post in these threads? If all you're going to do is post garbage, stay out of the thread. I don't like basketball and I don't go in nba related topics and shit all over the league.

Time to see what the Jays are really made of this next month. No Roy Halladay to save us every 5th day. Should be interesting.

WOW am i shocked to see a Project Wyze comment. They are from my hometown and NOBODY famous comes from here.

SHOCKMASTER!!!!

Angle wants to give Brooke the Angle slam.

*waits and prays* Please pick Halladay to start.

We shouldn't be so hard on the guy. Lillian fucked up quite a bit when she started. I'm sure Fink when he started in the early 80's fucked up a bit (mind you he had taped tv to edit any blunders) I'd say give this guy time.

uh oh

This week I kind of stacked my roster up and sacrificed a few people. Can someone show me how to do the spoilers tag thing where it highlights the text (i'm an idiot when it comes to this kind of thing) That way I can talk about Smackdown and how it effects my points.

If Snitsky gets fired, I wonder who's fault it is.

I was in 12th earlier in the week, down to 30th now, and probably going to drop after the Vengeance points come in When I made my team on Monday I forgot to factor in Vengeance. I wonder how many points Triple H got me though.

Here's my storyline. Chris Benoit goes on a huge losing streak and he can't seem to shake it off. He wrestles someone at a ppv and loses again. He completely goes ballistic at ringside smashing anything and everything in site yelling out "ITS GONNA CHANGE, IT'S GONNA CHANGE". Several weeks pass until Heidenreich is in his dressing room when he receives a gift...an ice cream cone. Heidenreich is excited about this and thinks he has a friend. Several weeks pass by and random wrestlers are getting mysterious ice cream cones. Finally, at a ppv with 2 jobber wrestlers going at it, the lights go out followed by a little bell going off. Suddenly, an ice cream bike emerges and Chris Benoit is driving it down the ramp. The announcers and the wrestlers are in a total state of "WTF". Benoit goes in the ring and offers the wrestlers ice cream treats from his bike. When the wrestlers refuse and try to tell Benoit that they are trying to have a match, Benoit snaps and beats the holy fuck out of both of them. Then he shoves ice cream in their face. In the following weeks, Benoit is seen backstage with his bike and his ice-cream man outfit trying to offer ice-cream to various superstars. He beats the fuck out of anyone that refuses. Ok, so that will never happen but I have a fucked up imagination.

Should be interesting.

I have to continue my love for Aaron Hill. Another 2 hits tonight plus a spectacular catch in the field. I really hope he gets some consideration for American League ROTY. Oh, and it's 5-1 Jays

I find this season has been great, on par with the last 2. Among the highlights.. - Ray's trailer being blown up. - Bubbles wearing the spacesuit - Various shit references by Lahey Only thing i'm dissapointed in is that there hasn't been any guest appearances this season. The season finale on Sunday should be interesting.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Michael Schumacher climbed from his car to a chorus of boos, the die-hard Formula One fans unable to accept his first victory of the season after more than two-thirds of the field quit in protest over tire safety. Sparking a fiasco for a series desperate to capture the American audience, Michelin advised the 14 cars it supplies that its tires were unsafe for the final banked turn at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Unable to forge a compromise, all 14 Michelin teams ducked off the track after the warmup lap Sunday, leaving Schumacher and the five other drivers who use Bridgestone tires to race among themselves. Fans headed for the exits in disgust, drivers were left bewildered and track officials joined team members in speaking afterward as if the United States Grand Prix itself is in jeopardy. Schumacher returned to the podium, but there was no champagne toast for the Ferrari team on this Sunday. "Bit of a strange Grand Prix," Schumacher said. "Not the right way to win my first one this year." When an agreement couldn't be reached over the use of fresh tires or the placement of a chicane to slow the cars going into turn 13, the Michelin teams pulled off the track and parked in a unified protest. "I feel terrible. I have a sick feeling in my stomach," David Coulthard said after pulling out of the race. "I am embarrassed to be a part of this." The situation created a farce of a race for F-1, the world's most popular series. And it couldn't have happened at a worse venue: The series is already struggling to build an American fan base, and Indy officials were left unsure of the event's future. "Undoubtedly, this sets us back in all of our efforts or all of the gains we've made in introducing this sport to America," said Joie Chitwood, track president. He declined to speculate on if the race would be back at Indy next season. But even the Ferrari team, which finally scored its first win of the season, acknowledged that the series' future in the U.S. is in trouble. "I wish we can come back to the States, this is a very important country and our No. 1 market," said Ferrari boss Jean Todt. "But this is a very bad day for our sport and I feel bad for the supporters." Many blamed Ferrari itself -- the Italian team was the lone holdout in a series of compromises the nine other teams frantically tried to reach. After two Michelin tires failed in Friday practice sessions -- one causing a wreck that prevented Ralf Schumacher from competing -- the tiremaker ruled that its rubber was unsafe for this track. Michelin was rebuffed when it asked the FIA, the series governing body, to ease its rule forbidding teams to change tires after qualifying. The FIA also refused to consider installing a chicane. So Michelin advised its teams not to compete after a lengthy morning meeting between nine team bosses (Ferrari did not attend), F-1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and the FIA. At one point, all 20 drivers were summoned to the meeting. The nine teams even agreed to race for no points, as long as the obstacle was added to the course. All of them said Ferrari would not agree to any of the proposals. Todt denied that Ferrari held up any deals, and said any decisions were left to the FIA. However, he said Ferrari would have protested the use of a chicane. The teams worked up until the final moments for a resolution, even lining up on the grid and taking the warm-up lap. Then they pulled off, climbing out of their cars at the same time the remaining six drivers started the race. The crowd was stunned, with fans pointing and gawking as they tried to figure out what was going on. Some booed. Others threw water bottles on the track in disgust. "If I was a fan out there I would do the same," said driver Jacques Villeneuve, a former Indianapolis 500 winner. After just 10 laps, many spectators began heading for the exits. Indy officials said they had not yet discussed offering refunds, and track boss Tony George issued a statement urging fans to direct their frustration to Michelin, the FIA and F-1's management. This event already draws just a fraction of what other races here do. Less than 100,000 come to this race, compared to a crowd in excess of 300,000 for the Indianapolis 500. Sunday's debacle will do nothing to improve that. "Quite frankly, the fans got cheated," Ecclestone said. All seven teams that pulled out of the race signed a single statement apologizing for the debacle. "We are totally aware that the USA is an important market for Formula One and there is an obligation for Formula One to promote itself in a positive and professional manner," it said. Among those refusing to race were world championship points leader Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, who trails him in the standings by 22 points. Alonso is F-1's biggest threat this season to end Schumacher's five-year reign as world champion. But when he and the other contenders pulled out of the event, it opened the door for seven-time world champion Schumacher to climb back. Schumacher entered the event 35 points behind Alonso, but cut the deficit to 25 with the victory -- well within striking distance with 10 events left this season. espn.com Looks like the sport is all but officially dead in North America.

This is going to sound completely crazy but The title match is in the opening segment and Hassan actually wins it. Then in the very next segment, later in the show, or somewhere later in the night the draft pick is revealed and it's whoever has the belt (Cena, Christian, Jericho) is now on Smackdown. Long rules that he unfortunately cannot proclaim Hassan the official Smackdown champion and the 2 have a match later in the evening where Cena wins and "unifies" the 2 titles. Yes I say Cena because I still think Cena is going to somehow end up on Smackdown again. In the upcoming weeks Hassan can wage war on Long for screwing him over and then Hassan can maybe one day be the U.S champ.

wow, Tampa is a disgrace

i'm screwed for Smackdown. The only 2 guys I have are Rey Rey and Teddy Long.

Add me to the list that had Masters.
