....you're thinking of 50 homers and 50 doubles, which Belle claims sole ownership of. On the other hand, no one's ever put up a 50-50 (homeruns/stolen bases) season yet. Canseco, Bonds and A-Rod have all put up 40-40 seasons, though.

Wasn't it a botched bladejob, due to Zack prematurely kicking the chair (and blade) back into Vince's face?

IIRC, it's on a case-by-case basis right now, where they (WWE) will pay for any single match they want or need.

Making a slight correction: Deon Dark, the one who started the thread, stated in the post that it was a website that was given the ultimatum - a site that used their own webspace and bandwidth to host media. If you put a little warning at the top of the forum stating that the media was for the sole purpose of critiquing, the forum would be free of responsibility. Here's the thread.

WWE's copyright statement:

2 for $20 at Blockbuster... Scarface (2-Disc Anniversary Edition) Matchstick Men. Onto other purchases... Made. Pulp Fiction: Collector's Edition.

Figures. That looked like the only decent match on the card, too. Next to the squash match with Booker, it looked like the WORST match on the card to me.

Didn't/doesn't someone come out to "Closing Time" by Semisonic?

<<I'm still mad they let him go, while Brian Lawler got rehired, there's talk of Jeff Hardy being rehired, Konnan possibly being brought in, green guys like Tomko & Fertig getting chances, Kenzo Suzuki being hired, etc.>> o Jeff Hardy will move merchandise. o Konnan will appeal to a demographic if he's placed on Smackdown. o Suzuki has already been depushed. o Brian Lawler was fired. o Tomko and Fertig aren't being given prominent roles until they improve in-ring. Tomko is simply playing the role of the "large bodyguard", which will hide his weaknesses until he's ultimately ready. If Kanyon stayed healthy, while staying AWAY from Diamond Dallas Page, he would've been given a prominent role after the Invasion ended (just look at the "Alliance MVP" angle).

Rey or RVD.

- Rey Mysterio, Heavy Metal & Latin Lover v. Fuerza Guerrera, Psychosis & Spicolli. 12:33 - Dean Malenko v. Rey Mysterio Jr. 17:45 - Rey Mysterio Jr. v. Psychosis. 15:17 - Dean Malenko v. Rey Mysterio Jr. 9:30 - Eddy Guerrero v. Rey Mysterio Jr. 13:49 - Chris Jericho v. Rey Mysterio Jr. 6:00 - Chavo Guerrero v. Rey Mysterio. 5:53 - Rey Mysterio v. Kurt Angle. 8:25 - Kurt Angle v. Rey Mysterio v. Chris Benoit. 8:42 - Rey Mysterio v. Jamie Noble. 2:52 Hmm...do you see a trend why we can't compare Rey's DVD to Benoit's potential DVD?

I feel there's a difference between hating the Lakers and hoping that they don't win the championship.

No, but honestly that's a narrow field of work to look for. Since 2002, most of his work has been limited to tag-team or gimmick matches. March 11th, 2004. --Funaki, Kidman and Ultimo Dragon defeated Akio, Sakoda, Tajiri, and Jamie Noble. March 18th, 2004. --Shelton Benjamin defeated Charlie Haas. --Shelton Benjamin defeated Billy Gunn. --Rey Mysterio defeated Shelton Benjamin.

WWE Rhapsody. Bankywood Industries. The Final Four.

Response I'd like to highlight.

Unless you use the search engine, why should important weekly/annual threads (the RAW/SD archives, OaO Sports Threads) be purged? Response I'd like to highlight.

Dean, and it was from Bright's Disease as mentioned earlier. Teddy's brother, Matt, passed away in July of 1996 from a pre-op infection.

225 in both promotions.

Watching the game here with a few friends here, and we're all just totally exhausted (hoarse throats and shit) going into the third overtime.

How about limiting the deletions to anything with under 100 replies? That rids us of everything that isn't relevant to the forum. EDIT: For instance, the official RAW threads are really cool bits of nostalgia. Venture back to the July 21st, 2002 edition and see everyone's reaction to Bischoff appearing on WWE TV for the first time. You can't ask for anything better.

Wrong. --XFL lost millions of dollars in the 2000-2001 fiscal year, yet they made a profit. --The World lost millions of dollars in the 2001-2002 fiscal year, yet they made a profit. --The WWF/WWE lawsuit lost millions in the 2002-2003 fiscal year, yet they made a profit. So far, in this fiscal year, they have to record a loss with any ventures, and made over $50 million from the Wrestlemania PPV. They WILL record a profit - please give an example of how they wouldn't, if projects like the XFL, the World and the Panda lawsuit are off the books. Unless McMahon invests in $35 million worth of land in the Everglades area, the company is going to turn a profit this quarter. Umm, no. It's at 14 or so right now, the highest price it's been in two years; just last March it was half of that. They're on the rise financially. Google Financial Info on WWE, Inc. (all figures since the IPO in late 1999)

As long as Vince controls at least 51% of the company, we shouldn't be worried about the ramifications of Vince's plan. In this case, it just creates a new bankroll for the family, while maintaining controlling interest in the company. Owning 63%, 78%, or 99% of the company means absolutely nothing in the long run, so Vince is looking to to take some of the money that's tied up in the stock and place it into his family's pocket.

Since his storyline injury is simply a broken leg, he can easily get out of the chair to roll underneath the ropes.
