That's the problem with Marvin, he can meet girls. It's from there his tremendously low self-esteem and generally fucking stupidity of understanding the moments that he is a complete hopeless cause.

What is wrong with Sabu? Wasn't it just a few months ago that Sabu felt like he had a new lease on life. I figured he would blow this chance since that's his nature to be selfish and unconcerned about his job. Vince was a big mark for Sabu just six months ago and in that short of time, Sabu completely wasted his best opportunity.

And even though it's pretty much impossible for Taker to lose heat, him bleeding in a match to help put Kennedy over is not as bad for him as being pinned. While I think Taker and WWE does see something in him, it's kinda funny that they won't let him get a pin to really give him a jump. But yeah, Kennedy winning the Rumble would be awesome, especially if ONCE AGAIN, it denies Randy Orton the victory he wants so badly every year. If anything, Taker losing the match via a massive blood lost only helps both men out anyways (Kennedy for obvious reason and Taker for taking a beating with such a blood lost). I hadn't thought of Kennedy winning the rumble but it would totally work since Raw and ECW can set up their title matches without using the rumble victory as a starting point.

Why do you people keep trying to insist that Booker/Benoit needs to be done again. Each of them have been working each other since 1996. It's overdone and every match between the two are the same. They are solid matches but the fans are burnt out on it. It's a good enough mid-card program but it can't cover a main event scene right now.

They really should just trade that pick to shore up draft picks, take a cheaper QB in the 3rd or 4th round and let Kitna teach him like he did with Palmer.

Easily, the best option for a heel right now against Batista heading into WM would be Kennedy. Kennedy has been booked very strongly against UT and is liked enough by WWE/Taker to get that major push of beating the dead-man. He's a good heel and is more suited for a main event push right now from the diluted amount of choices on Smackdown. Smackdown's not going to be the main draw for Mania, so it's not expected carry anything. Batista/Kennedy can work for a good 3 months leading to WM.

Carell is chasing Ferell down for most comedy roles taken.

They do have very deep pockets but they are expanding to a house show schedule next year in addition to the high DVD sales they generate to cover some of those losses but like more young business, they have to operate in the red for awhile before getting out. It's almost impossible for a wrestling promotion to make money. In Japan, they're losing money. In America, only WWE and ROH are making profit. TNA and the other indies are hemorrhaging money.

I had a very awesome thanksgiving last night. I really can't wait to be old and bitter about my family, it sounds more fun that way.

Jesus, Marvin. You can't even AIM chat properly. You ignore the real stuff and focus on stupid shit like food and hair.

I'm going to be working on a car that afternoon but I have the girl doing the black friday stuff and she'll be grabbing a new flat screen HDTV thats low priced, various DVD's that are insanely low priced and some girl stuff she needs. I just cant stand annoying retail people crying the blues about this day. Most people who work regular jobs are forced with chaos, disorganized confusion and frustrated customers on daily basis.

I don't blame Leena for her move. I once figured marriage wasn't in the cards but right now, with the current situation? I can easily see how opinions can change. It's cliché but finding the right person, changes everything. Good for Leena to actually obtain happiness. Just because a great deal of others here are struggling to find that place, don't hold it against her.

Wrestlers can work other promotions if they sign with TNA. Also, TNA is like WCW circa 1995 with a huge bank to pay for top names like Angle and eventually Mysterio and the others interested. A guy like Christian, a lifetime mid-carder gets a good pay just to jump ship.

We have a lot of holidays in this country. Most are ignored unless its one of those special ones that grants us the day off work or school. I am particularly fond of Christmas for a variety of reasons. Thanksgiving, however? Never have seen the purpose for it nor cared much. In this day and age, the purpose of thanksgiving seems meaningless as we’re all self consumed with bloating ourselves to such ridiculous waist lines or dieting down to extreme lows. Which further reduces this holiday from being a celebration feast of togetherness that it was once supposedly according to ancient history books. Basically, all it really is now is a forced gathering of family members often against their will in the efforts to keep up with the pretense of a outdated tradition. I know there’s some people out there who have no problem with the idea of seeing distant family members across the table and perhaps, even anticipate it. I happen to live fairly close to all my relatives, which I greatly appreciate because it prevents me from having to travel much distance for these forced family gatherings but of course, I dread this because it forces more opportunities to occur. My thanksgiving schedule is fairly simple. Dinner on Wednesday night with my intermediate family that breaks down into a routine dinner and ends with whatever movie we randomly select. Thursday, I head down to my aunt’s not to far from here and have a brief lunch with my father’s family, which are full of bored, uninteresting and thusly, pleasant people. You know what you’re getting with them (food, same old conversation and boredom). Usually, I would follow that up by heading literally down the street to my mother’s family but traditions have changed for me as I will be going to Allison’s family at her parent’s house. She’s coming on Wednesday night, so at least we’re both doing the whole family thing but she gets the intermediate family, that’s only 8 people. I’m getting over 30 people that I hardly know or ever met at all. I still think this is moving way to fast. We’re just leapfrogging levels that I never knew existed. Usually, I have to control a relationship, or the relationship is never balanced because one is too dependant but this one is completely different. We’re equal in this, either needs the other. We each work a lot but don’t use that as an excuse. I’m still not quite sure how I made this work. I’m a fairly alright looking guy, I’ve probably done far greater with girls then I ever had the right to. I don’t believe in the idiotic concept of “levels” in regards to peoples standing with others. That being said, there is some merit to the fact that some people are just too good for someone else. In looks, social standing, money or whatever. In this case, probably all of it. She’s beautiful, I’m cute at best. She’s popular with loads of friends, while I’m a complete introvert who doesn’t trust people. She’s a trust fund baby, I’ve been working on my own for the past few years. That aside, we clicked instantly and for whatever differences we have, it works. This Thursday is the debut of the NFL Network airing their first live telecast of a game. It’ll be between Kansas City and Denver. Earlier that day, Miami/Detroit and Dallas/Tampa. Yeah, the only remotely interesting game is the NFL network game. I wouldn’t mind watching that game. However, I won’t because TW refuses to broker a deal with the NFL Network. Time Warner provides a good overall service for me with their package but they have annoying practices. They literally waited until the day before the launch of the new CW network to even cave in and stick them onto a triple digit channel for a couple months before complaints grew about morons not finding the channel, so they kicked one of the many public broadcasting stations to the side. TW doesn’t appear to be budging at all and the local community is growing angry about this as this means we won’t get Bengals coverage (whom play on this network). Its bullshit from both sides of the table. Oh, the big deal right now is the Kramer story. Why? He threw the N word. Can you really be surprised? He has to walk around for the rest of his life being called “Kramer”. Now, he can just be known as “that racist fucking Jew”. Funny, how the one main character on that show that managed to have any post Seinfeld career was the least interesting one. Seinfeld has basically gone around doing the occasional tour with insane ticket prices but generally staying out of the limelight. He’s a genius. George had about 10 failed sitcom attempts since then. Kramer had one as well that I don’t think lasted beyond 2 episodes and now he’s forever known for that tirade. It’s all a desperate ploy anyways and we all brought it. His ticket sales will skyrocket. Maybe it’s a new crowd demographic but money’s money baby.

Maybe you should count your losses and just go gay Marvin. Chicks aren't your thing.

I've always felt that TNA is a horrible mesh of ROH and WWE. They have the wrestling that ROH gives (although not at as high of a level) but lacks the straight up, no-nonsense booking/storylines and threw that in with the idiotic booking, insanely outrageous characters of WWE without a clue of how to mainstream it without coming off as an imposter act.

Most comedians have been socially awkward introverts and have relied on comedy to get any sort of attention, or an edge on others. Either they make genuinely funny comments, or attack society with some merit, thought or point. Dane Cook? In his own words, “flipped that shit” (one of the many annoying phrases that he ushered into the trend following troglodytes that are currently dragging their knuckles across their self-inflicted misery scorned Starbucks cup). He decided that he had a great advantage with being a good looking guy, with the frat boy look that his demographic creams for or secretly wishes they could obtain. All he does he spew the same shit that is heard between classes and every street corner at every college campus out there. He throws in a grunt or two, over exaggerated facial expression and then flexes his muscles as he reiterates how often he gets laid. I’ll admit that he has said some things that I do agree with but it’s not like he created these things. They are mostly observations that every breathing person, at least in this country, has acknowledged. His whole preening act basically consists of the aforementioned grunting, exaggerated facials and the retelling events that everyone has done/experienced. A comedian should be relevant, creative and socially biting. Dane Cook is just having AIM conversations on a stage. Cook, is the comic equivalent of Fall Out Boy.

Because Heyman isn't really booking anything. He's the writing consultant. Lagana is writing the show. Vince is big on Punk and especially Kelly. The Punk/Kelly stuff hasn't been that bad since Kelly has gotten comfortable with the role and Punk isn't one of those whipped babyfaces with her. He's basically all "Oh, cool. She digs me. I wanna fight someone instead, but hey, cool". Which fits greatly with Punk's attitude and character. RVD/Holly, the last time got rave reviews and I don't see why they wouldn't give it a 15 minute spot.

I might be wrong but I thought they said he was having visa problems?

Lashley squashed Striker (who cut a quick generic promo prior) Hardyz beat FBI. Heyman threatened to take RVD's spot away from EC match if he loses to Holly tonight in EXTREME RULES match. Thorn beat Punk down until Punk countered a boston crab into a kick combo and anaconda vice. Kelly celebrated with Punk, Thorn and Ariel attacked but they got chased out. Knox stands in aisle. Kelly hugs Punk and Mike looks sad.

Samoa Joe: Punk? He's out hunting vampires

Dustin Rhodes did the running powerslam as well and I think of him before Davey in terms of the running powerslam.
