Of course. But, just to let you know - I won't pay more than that for your King of the Ring '95 master.

Well, I was just exaggerating for the effect. But look at last year's results - Royal Rumble: NO MATCH No Way Out: 14:40 [v. Angle] Wrestlemania X-8: 18:41 [v. Jericho] Backlash: 22:04 [v. Hogan] Judgment Day: 24:31 [v. Jericho] King of the Ring: 23:43 [v. Undertaker] Vengeance: NO MATCH Summerslam: 27:23 [v. HBK] Unforgiven: 18:19 [v. Rob Van Dam] No Mercy: 16:09 [v. Kane] Survivor Series: 39:21 [Elimination Chamber] Armageddon: 38:33 [v. HBK]

Since it is a torn ACL, she NEEDS to get it operated on. When you have a good spot within the company, it's hard to take time off and risk losing your spot. The best example of this? Steve Austin.

A few that come to mind: --Flair's "mule-kick" leg blow, and the ULTRA RARE double low blow. --Jericho's foot draped on his prone opponent's chest, while accentuating the insult with a glorious "C'MON, BEH-BAY!" had me in stitches. --Rock imitating his opponent mid-match, as evidenced by his XIX match against Austin, and his RAW match against Hurricane.

These are the corrected DVD extras, with matchdates - EXTRAS: Kurt Angle© vs. Steve Austin for the WWF Title - 01.08.01 Edge, Christian & Rhyno vs. Buh-Buh, D-Von and Spike Dudley - 03.22.01 Steve Austin© vs. The Rock for the WWF Title (CAGE MATCH) - 04.02.01 Chris Jericho© vs. Triple H for the IC Title - 04.05.01 Triple H© vs. Jeff Hardy for the IC Title - 04.12.01 Steve Austin© vs. Chris Jericho for the WWF Title - 06.04.01 "King of the Ring" Trophy Presentation - 06.25.01 "Hero/Jackass" Promo - 07.02.01 "I Want The Old Stone Cold" promo - 07.12.01 Booker T© vs. Kurt Angle for the WCW Title - 07.26.01 The main program covers most of the main angles of early 2001: Spike & Molly's "love story", Vince's relationship with Linda McMahon, Trish Stratus and Torrie Wilson, Steve Austin's heel turn both at Wrestlemania X-7 and at Invasion, his ensuing feuds with the Canadian Chrisses and finally, the Invasion of WCW and ECW. The DVD stops highlight-wise as the Rock is re-introduced to the WWF in July (there's even an extra covering the build-up to his promo on RAW)

He would be batting .650 with 221 homeruns if that were the case. On the "ESPN/Budweiser Hot Seat" Nolan Ryan was asked about this same issue. He responded with "High and away....high and away...then when he's thinking high and away, throw it as inside as you can possibly get."
-
He's officially out for six weeks, retroactive to his injury (August 10th). He's targeting the September 22nd RAW (the night after Unforgiven) as his official return. Of course, he could factor into the pay-per-view itself.

Are you looking to deal any tapes through the forums? Considering you don't have a reserve listed for your eBay items, I'd be willing to purchase a few, if you'd be interested.

Most of the early posts are attributing the match's atrocities to the gimmick itself, and not the match buried within. I guess we'd assume that a good wrestling match within a bad gimmick match, still doesn't make up for the gimmick - ESPECIALLY considering how the belt incident exposed the match (and the gimmick) immensely.

This show completely changed my view of Simpson; it's sad to see that the elder Simpsons have grossly spoiled their daughter, while trying to shelter her from a more promiscuous life. Any female that keeps their house THAT unorganized...arrgh, screw cleanliness and stupidity, I'd still hit it. Quote of the Week (paraphrased) ::Jessica throws a tantrum, when Nick decides to move a big-screen television into the bedroom:: Nick: "It's times like these, when I wish I had a gun." Friend: "To shoot her?" Nick: "No, to shoot myself."

Nash and HBK fight for the good of the business!

A quick hit from tpww.net - -
I WAS RIGHT! ::points at BifEverchad::

Well, the best example was Raven, but that was because he went from "the bottom of the WWE barrel", to the top of the independent scene. Raven's WWE deal was renegotiated with a downside guarantee, which had to built on with incentives - incentives which in Raven's case he couldn't achieve (PPV appearances being one). Raven's pay-per-appearance contract in the independents allows him to make more than the lower end of the WWE food chain.

Nash and HBK fight for the good of the business!
Fökai replied to Insane Bump Machine's topic in The WWE Folder
Like when in the peak moments of his streak, Nash booked himself over Goldberg to end the streak and win the title? Then job it back to Hogan in a momentous screwjob weeks later, to further devalue the title? Goldberg was programmed to have an ego, as instilled by Eric Bischoff's booking. BUT, Bischoff was so far up Hogan and Nash's ass, he didn't have the time to come up for air and address Goldberg's possible concerns with his direction. In the summer of 2000, Goldberg agreed to job to two of the three men I mentioned earlier - and whaddya know? He didn't even get a World title reign down the road for doing this either! ::clears throat:: ALL of Steiner's matches during his late-2000 run were horrifically overbooked - Russo felt the need to incorporate Midajah and lead pipes into every match Steiner worked in, to cover Steiner's weaknesses (and further his heel heat). Booker beat him in TWO MINUTES with the Bookend - Goldberg no-sold all of the shots from Jarret and Cat, so that means Booker's finisher pinned Bill in...once again, TWO MINUTES. Please tell Goldberg DIDN'T lose heat from that. My mistake. Goldberg looked like an idiot spearing Russo through the cage, where he beat Booker for the title. Considering the amount of workers already booked to appear, I doubt they needed to risk using him, even in a non-physical role. That particular Nitro had everyone under the sun appearing - and anyway, Bret's appearance at the end eliminated people's negative feelings about Goldberg not showing up. He challenged both to shoot fights? It's called a backstage scuffle. It doesn't involve MMA holds and throwdowns - they use PUNCHES. Again, Goldberg has only challenged one man to a shoot fight - it was HHH, which he made several mentions of said proposal to, when they had that imfamous confrontation at a comic (?) convention. Please list said signs of not showing respect. And which of these talents drew? Umm, was it GOLDBERG? Why yes...yes, it was. -
That was my and everyone else's complaints about the Benoit/Angle matches, which is why there were only two great matches out of the series: The Benoit/Angle Wrestlemania X-7 match and the Benoit/Angle Royal Rumble match. *cough*Unforgivenfromlastyear*cough*

Umm, the Elimination Chamber is THREE matches rolled into one - Goldberg v. HHH, Y2J v. Nash and Orton v. HBK. If the gimmick match wasn't introduced, we would have three matches that would stretch over ten minutes each. On that note, the World title match itself would have to go the HHH-minimum of TWENTY minutes, while Y2J/Nash will certainly go into the vicinity of FIFTEEN minutes to blow off their feud. Orton/HBK? Twelve minutes, I'd guess. The predicted time of forty-seven minutes is already eight minutes more than last year's inaugural Elimination Chamber (39:21). Imagine that. Who cares if it's balanced perfectly from month-to-month? Smackdown has the Rumble for the two-month build, so unless you're going to complain that the Smackdown brand should get another major PPV to build a two-month program to, this argument is null and void.

Especially when there's a match from that same year, which salvaged an entire Wrestlemania event. The significance of Hart/Austin II also blows everything from the Stampede tag match to the European Championship Finals out of the water.

Pass. No drugs or alcohol for me.

It was chosen by Hunter as his favorite match ever.

Actually, the Braves are the only nationally televised team, being that they are owned by AOL Time-Warner (who controls programming on TBS, among others). The Cubs have a network deal with WGN, which is only aired regionally.
