Vikings.

TSM wouldn't need to host anything I'm talking about dead links. Say I upload my stuff to a server I have access to. It's decent-sized, but I'd have to pull themes from older dates to save space. All of the older threads would be useless, therefore the archives would be trash.

OH MY GOD! Greg Daniels from Allenstown, PA! THANK YOU FOR RIPPING THESE THEMES FOR US!!!

Not likely. We'd have to set-up a dedicated server to upload gigabytes of videos and themes, or else the links would have to be pulled in a few days tops. Based on that, the forum wouldn't last longer than a few weeks.

He did credit the guy who ripped the themes in the first place.

1. Bret v. Owen (Summerslam 1994) 2. Ric Flair v. Randy Savage (Wrestlemania VIII) 3. Steve Austin v. The Rock (Wrestlemania XVII/ XIX for the environment)

Well, they looked better than all of the 1-0 teams below them on the Power Rankings. 42 points is 42 points, no matter who the team is. It's always a game of "wait and see" for teams with soft competition early in the season. Until quality competition comes around (probably St. Louis this Sunday), they deserve the #7 spot.

Nitro went to three hours during the fall of 1997 - can't pinpoint an exact date, though.

Coming from a "RVD MARK", that's GOLD.

49ers = 34 points. Washington Redskins @ Atlanta Falcons Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts Buffalo Bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs Houston Texans @ New Orleans Saints Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams [LOCK] Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Cincinnati Bengals @ Oakland Raiders New England Patriots @ Philadelphia Eagles Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants - MONDAY NIGHT GAME

Just in the same vein as Kid Rock's title track being edited out of the Royal Rumble 2002 VHS/DVD release, yet the rest of the theme songs for PPV's in 2002 are intact. "One Of A Kind" was used for all three console's releases last year - this time around, it's not around at all. The WWE felt that the licensing of several of themes, especially those with larger fees (RVD, Victoria) wouldn't make a whole lot of difference for fans purchasing the video games.

Well, because the few that DID complain did not understand that the "PM is optional" theory had flaws as well. To everyone reading this post: please vote in the poll a few topics below this, so that the whole PM issue is resolved by Week Three.

::scratches head:: You have to ask KKK on that one.

It's called LICENSING. WWE chose not to purchase the rights for the song to be used for Wrestlemania XIX.

The workers are basically "given" the promos now - it's a primary complaint of the guys who are getting mic time. The old "Attitude" formula was to give the guys an outline of "what should be said", then let them go out there and wing it - while getting the main topics over in the process. The workers didn't have a tight script to work with, so it was easier to gauge the fan's response to the promo.

Test is on his TWELFTH version of his entrance music? How is that possible?!?

Cool Edit Pro 3.

NOTE: If any of the participants in the Head-2-Head league want to keep their predictions hidden from their opponent, please PM your picks to KKK within the same deadline that the Pigskin Pick'em league follows. On Sunday morning, KKK will compile and post those predictions so that I may incorporate them into the other league. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: ALL PICKS are due at 12:01 A.M.

People obtain raw* Smackdown feeds through older satelite receptions. They're airing over those signals because they're being fed straight to WWE's production department for the final touches on the show. *"Raw" meaning audio in between segments (usually hidden by commercial breaks), and anything else that can be edited for the Thursday airing (botched spots, promos and commentary)

::jaw drops:: I hope...you're kidding.

IIRC, Hale contracted pneumonia after serious complications from his kidney surgery.

Awesome. Thanks Eagan.

Question... How are the rips available already?

Hard to put stock in a report that spells his name "Cain". Hmm...maybe Dean was in attendance or something.

Reese (tagged with Horace Boulder to beat Juventud Guerrera & Van Hammer, 8th June 1998) ...aka "Big Ron Studd". Was a GIANT motherf**er who served as fodder for Goldberg. He served as a comic relief for me, when he regularly piggybacked Kidman to the ring for a Raven promo. Dale Torberg (beat Kendall Windham, 11th October 1998) See the Demon, but without the facepaint. He had the gimmick of a race car driver (which I believe was legitimate), but he tore his knee up in this match and returned as Demon in 1999. “Fan” (lost to Ernest Miller, 18th October 1998) A plant from the independents, I'd assume. Will Sasso (lost to Bret Hart, 16th February 1999) Actor/comedian from "MAD TV". Bret worked an angle with the guy (including a work/shoot angle on a MADTV episode). The Misfits (tagged with Vampiro to lose to Berlyn & The Wall, 15th November 1999) A well-known rock band. Real-life friends with Vampiro, so they willingly came in to work an angle alongside of him. Spice (beat Tygress, 22nd November 1999). Both were Nitro Girls. Jerry Only (tagged with The Misfits to beat Steve Williams & Oklahoma, 29th November 1999) Frontman for the Misfits. Midnight (lost to Curt Hennig, 29th November 1999) Linda Miles clone who was "a sister" of Booker and Stevie Ray. Booker, being the face at that time, stuck up for her. Stevie turned on them both and aligned with "Big T" (Ahmed Johnson) and Clarence Mason (aka the short black lawyer from the HBK/Bulldog feud in 1996). The Maestro (lost to Prince Iaukea, 13th December 1999) Decent wrestler. He was originally booked to wrestle under his gimmick name (Gorgeous George III), but WCW introduced Savage's new girlfriend (Stephane Bellars) under that name. He had a half-decent valet to accompany him, but I'm blanking on that person's name. The worst part of his gimmick? As his entrance, he would be lowered to the stage entrance by a giant platform, while playing a piano positioned on said platform.....YES, he had the Liberace/Adrian Street gimmick. Buzzkill (lost to Madusa, 20th December 1999) Brad Armstrong, during the atrocious "Let's get him over impersonating his brother" period. The Dog (beat Evan Karagias, 6th March 2000) aka "Al Green". The gimmick took a more literal meaning, when he began to adorn the traits of a dog....you can fill in the blanks there. Miss Jones (lost to Jeff Jarrett, 11st September 2000) An DA-YUM FINE female who served as Ernest Miller's valet. M I Smooth (lost to Bill Goldberg, 4th December 2000) aka "Ice Train". Played the gimmick of a limosuine driver who would be bribed to rat on wrestler's actions while in his limosuine. “Phony Dusty Rhodes” (lost to Jeff Jarrett, 5th March 2001) Ric Flair under heavy make-up.
