Tremendous. I dunno, part of me thinks WWE really overreacted to the drug thing. But either way, in the end, it's Kurt Angle's life and if I were running TNA, why not scoop him up? On the plus side, he'll only have to work 2-3 matches a month now instead of 25. And hopefully they'll give him a month or so to heal up and maybe clean himself up too. And, the mark in me is chomping at the possibilities: Angle/Joe, Angle/Daniels, Angle/AJ?

Jesus, wanna try a period or two in there? My head hurts. As much as TNA will likely push Austin Aries (I refuse to call him Starr) in the X-Division, I doubt he'll have anything to do with the big announcement, he's a relatively small player, as much as I personally hate to admit it. Cornette will likely make the big announcement, and if it's not a 2-hr timeslot, it's at least a prime-time timeslot.

THEN it's settled.

I disagree wholeheartedly.

A pretty solid IMPACT. I'll be happy when this bullshit Jackass stuff is over with. And I gotta tell ya, Joe's promos really really impress me now. I dunno what's done it, but since starting with TNA he's improved on the mic exponentially from his ROH laid-back-RVDish promos. THAT promo tonight was fucking fantastic. And I continue to be impressed with LAX. An awesome worker, a power guy, and FINALLY something useful for Konnan to do. The angle is fresh, plays along with current events, and is eerily shoot-ish. I'm loving this feud.

That tells me he's gonna work himself into storylines as the cocky asshole new yorker again. Which was never any good. God this can't be happening. It's no so much that Russo is being put in charge of booking--it's that, apparently, D'Amore and Tenay have been REMOVED from the booking team. That means for the most part, it's Russo and his bum-buddy Jarrett booking the whole damn show. It'll be like 2000ish WCW all over again. My faith in TNA is going down the shitter

Good call

Ya, quit in 2004 though.

Welllll.... Lesse: By far the funniest: And by far my favourite:

Jesus, this is tough... I'm gonna cheat and make it a tie: The first one because it's just an incredibly emotional album, and contains the greatest metal epic of all time, Dante's Inferno (16 minutes following the story of Dante's Inferno--unbelievable.) The second because it's the greatest concept album in the history of music, IMO. Based entirely around the rise and fall of the comic book hero Spawn. It's a shame so few comic book fans know of Iced Earth, as Spawn fans would LOVE this album for obvious reasons. Epic Reine, I'd put your choice as well as Number of the Beast, and ...And Justice For All, to round out my top 5.

This album is tremendous. Not nearly as good as Dance of Death IMO, but still very epic. Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg is earth-shatteringly awesome. This is the first album I've actually bought, of any kind, since Dance of Death. Oh and the DVD that comes with it was worth it too--a couple of music videos and a half-decent documentary.

Eternal Champions for Sega CD. One of the worst fighting game series ever. Horrible hit detection. Poor response times. Shit-tastic sound effects. But man, me and a couple buddies played the SHIT out of it for months to get every fatality and whatnot. Midnight ftw.

Fascinating. I was wondering why the anti-ROH vitriol had ceased.

Agreed. This sounds like a definite MOTY candidate. And we still have Survival of the Fittest and FB to go! In other news, I can't fuckin believe Danielson is gonna wrestle through this injury. It's insanity. I'm the biggest Dragon mark there is, but I would've been perfectly fine with him dropping the belt of KENTA and winning it back later.

Monty's damn near quit, as far as I know. This should've, should've, SHOULD'VE been Joe/Jarrett. Why it's not I have no idea. No wonder Joe's pissed at his shit-tastic booking.

ahhhh, so that's you. First thing I found when I tried to google it a few days ago. So, you gonna sue for $USD1bil?

fwiw, a lot of the ROH crowds throughout 2006 had small pockets of CZW fans throughout, who made it their mission to disrupt the show. Kinda went with the storyline, I guess.

I rest my case.

In that environment? Yes I will tell them, as I'd tell anyone else. I would tell them that in a movie theatre if they were annoying the hell out of me too. I have on numerous occasions. On the other hand, I wouldn't tell them to do it at Chuck E Cheese, where such things belong.

I'm sure I spelled that wrong--the Internets has ruined my English That was kinda might point as well... the way the reports made it sound was that the kids had gone beyond normal chanting and had gotten downright annoying.

I haven't seen the footage (obviously, and neither have you, until the DVD comes out) but the way it was worded made it sound like the kids were chanting/cheering to the point of being incredibly annoying. The only difference between this and a normal ROH, ECW or TNA crowd situation is that they're younger. They're in the environment, which means they're succeptable to the same crap. I'd tell a kid to shut the fuck up if he was annoying me, and I'd tell a full grown adult to shut the fuck up if he was annoying me. It was a wrestling show, the ownus is on the parents to determine whether the kids are up for it or not. That's the reason I brought up the Katey Vick bullshit, or any number of other tasteless insulting WWE angles. These are the same parents that likely let their kids watch RAW every Monday night to see all sorts of demeaning insulting acts, bad language, sexual references and violence. Who cares if it's directed AT them or not (and some is, whenever a heel wrestler shits on the fans)... they're either ready for it or they're not, and that's up to the parents, not the CROWD. I wonder if the parents also looked on the back of the ROH tickets, where it says that ROH isn't held liable for shit that goes wrong? I think maybe being cursed at falls under that category, IMO.

Er... How in the hell does that mean ROH fans hit a new low? ROH is a mature, hardcore-fanish wrestling promotion. You can't possibly expect a thousand fans to say "oh shit, there's kids in the audience, let's just be quiet and act like japanese fans all night!" So having hardcore fans shout down kids is "a new low," but having thousands of kids in a WWE arena watching HHH fuck a corpse is okay? As is so often said when conservatives bitch about TV content: if they don't want kids watching it, don't show it to them.

I dunno, I got the feeling from Cage's heel turn that he has in no way allied himself with Jarrett. He just shit on Sting. I'm not so sure he'll tag with Jarrett, unless Cornette "forces" him to. But I agree, Joe vs. Someone for #1 contender at the next PPV.

Well, there goes Nigel's impressive title run. As much as I'm a huge fan of Danielson, and as much as the match will rule, the ramifications still suck.
