I've been a member of the board since before it moved to this location. However, I have no clue what Prince Paul did to get banned. Anyone care to give me the Cliff's Notes version?

A move I've always thought would be good could be used by someone as powerful as Batista. Hook someone in an inverted fisherman suplex position (facing away from you instead of toward you, and do the fisherman suplex that way so they would land face first (their knee would take the impact but have the illusion of a powerful faceplant like the Pedigree). I never thought of it as a finisher, but Batista's size and strength would make it seem devestating.

They have done the two weeks thing before with the Michaels/Jericho rematch. I think they are just giving themselves time to build before the matches. They have a complete show between the show it was announced on, and the show the match will be on. The Eugene thing makes sense as now Regal will have 14 days to try to teach Eugene how to wrestle.

I would be Kyle Justin, which sounds like crap. I don't go by Justin, and have gone by Rus since the 5th grade. And given that my last name is cool, I think me going by what I go by in real life would be an excellent ring name. Rus Livingood

Well, since I have the copy of the Playboy where Vince said he was sexually abused by his mother as a child, I didn't consider it a rumor, but rather as me relaying what Vince McMahon has actually stated in a widely circulated magazine. Whether it was a rumor on the net a long time ago or not, the man claims he was sexually abused as a child. I know that you can't believe everything he says, but that is something that most people don't like admitting when it HAS happened to them, much less make it up about themselves.

Pretty sure Mankind was paraded around when he beat Rock for the title for the first time. I think DX had him on their shoulders. Luger had the entire locker room (non-nWo) come out for his win over Hogan.

In an interview with Playboy, Vince stated that it was his mother that sexually abused him. I don't care how much charity work you do, what she did was wrong.

Luther Rains sounds like a bad pun for Lutherans, which would probably be Mordecai's real name or ally or something.

Yes, HardcoreTV was the right name for the late 90's show. Perhaps Bill Maher wasn't actually on the other show or it was on Showtime or something, because I can't find anything about it.

When I was really young in the early to mid 80's, there was a show on HBO that I seem to recall Bill Maher was a feature character. The show was funny to me at the time, but I usually sneaked to watch it because they had nudity every now and then. I thought of it as more adult than Benny Hill. Much later on HBO (mid 90's) was a hilarious show that had spoofs of other shows, sketch comedy, and yes, more nudity. It was kind of like SNL or MadTV, but they could go a lot racier since it was on HBO late at night. One spoof was "This Old Whore House," complete with Bob Villa and Norm look-a-likes planning on fixing up a whore house while Johns got serviced. A parody commercial for Spamby (based on the Slinky commercials) was also a favorite of mine. Does anyone know the names of these shows so I can look for info on them?

Without trades, I would do this: RAW Evolution (Batista and Flair) Superheroes Palumbo/Cade Stevie Richards and Albert (have Stevie run his mouth and Albert back him up) La Resistance Storm/Venis wrestling as serious heels because they are pissed with how they were made to act before SMACKDOWN Bashams Dudleyz London/Kidman Gunn/Holly Akio/Sakoda Stamboli/Nunzio Jindrak/Jordan That is enough tag teams for a division on each show. Take the diamonds from those teams and dissolve the ones that don't mesh well over time. You can add to the division with time.

One major thing that could help out both shows would be trade Rosey for Shannon Moore and Scotty II Hotty (after dropping the tag straps). This would allow Moore/Helms to team, Too Cool to reform, and Rosey/Rikishi could go heel. That would be three teams that are not stale added to the mix with one minor trade.

Thanks guys, I'll check into those names and see if they were the shows I was talking about. I appreciate the help.

HBK vs. Benoit Orton vs. Benjamin HHH vs. Edge

How big is Chief?

The way I look at the retirements of wrestlers is much different than everyone else does. With wrestling, you have a TON of wrestlers retiring only to come back time and again (re: Funk, Terry). I actually considere Foley retired, and seeing him wrestle two matches (WM2000 and WMXX) doesn't make me consider him an unretired wrestler. He's retired, but makes appearances now and then. If he did what Shawn Michaels is doing nowadays, I would consider him unretired and consider him going back on his promise. And to get back on topic with Rudo's post, I agree 100%, but Benoit's may top depending on if they change it up a bit. The Rumble and Mania were gold, since then, there's been noone for him to wrestle, and they should have turned HBK heel for the Canada trip. HBK vs. Benoit for the title in Canada, then make a ladder match (which has been rumored for a long time) at the following PPV or even SummerSlam.

Everclear is relatively cheap here. IIRC, it is like $25 for a 1/2 gallon. Considering the alcohol content, it's a good deal. Bad part is that the alcohol content differs from state to state. I know it is like 150 proof or something in Florida. But here in West Virginia, it is 190!!!

Yeah, I didn't give it the name and I know it is very common, but since it has all the fruit in it and shit, I'm used to the name. It can be called "Assfucking underage Mexicans," the deal is it gets you wasted. I'm talking pissing in your floor, smacking your friends in the face and jumping off the roof of your house drunk. Yes, I did that after drinking it one night.

I was just going by what he said about wanting to make moonshine that would blow up if it wasn't made right. I didn't know if he thought he could make it for his party tomorrow or not.

I was laughing my ass off.

Moonshine isn't made overnight. It has to sit like most other alcohols. If you want a good party drink, check this out: Buy a half gallon of Everclear. It's 190 proof (95%) alcohol. You can either buy powdered fruit punch Kool-Aid (enough to make 10 gallons) or just buy fruit punch (10 gallons). Buy bananas, Apples, grapes, strawberries, and a watermelon. Chop up all that and put it in your mix. You will need a big 10+ gallon tupperware box. Rubbermaid makes a good storage box that works. Make the 10 gallons of fruit punch, add the fruit, then pour in the Everclear and stir it for a while. It is best if you let it settle for about four hours. By the end of the night, if you eat the fruit, you will be drunk as hell of a couple pieces of fruit. Have plenty of disposable plastic cups sitting by your box and either have a ladle or a plastic cup to pour the juice into the cups. We call this "Jungle Juice."

I'd like to see him use Brock's seated Stretch Muffler in big matches. That move should only be used when nothing else is getting you the win. They could make that move deadly as hell in the fan's eyes.

http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=52040 See what you think of the posts in this thread. I was trying to find some details on the latest Batman storyline arc. When you check for them online it is only people giving their thoughts on whether it was a good issue or not, and whether the art was good. It doesn't really tell you the details of what is going on. I figured the comics folder might be a good route to go.

Okay, Eugene has officially debuted now. And as you know, most characters evolve over the years, especially if they move up the card toward main event. Triple H changed drastically from blue blood snob to degenerate to evil bad guy to high-class elitist. It may not have been very believable to segue from character to character like that, but surely it has to be easier than what lies ahead for Nick Dinsmore. How do you change up a retarded character? You can't exactly just say he's not retarded anymore. The only thing I thought of that could make sense would be for Eugene to get hurt pretty bad at some point and have Nick Dinsmore be his brother that comes for revenge. However, Eugene would have to stay gone forever for that to happen. I know we shouldn't try to think logically about the WWE booking, but Dinsmore has been pigeon-holed into this character with little option to move on. Any thoughts?

I used to go to school with a girl named Angel, and she grew up. She's unbelievably hot now.
