Mike wanna be

Smarter move would be to have a run-in to get somebody over with Show and start a feud with that (maybe he hits Show low and drops him to a knee, giving Mayweather the chance to hit him in the face), rather than just knocking Show out when there's no possibility of a rematch. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to Mayweather channeling Little Mac and unloading a leaping uppercut to knock Show down.

I've had it since Wrestlemania 2000 came out; they called it a GameShark. I'm guessing it's going to work (and look) exactly the same.

2/4 on extra points, 0/1 inside 20 yards, but 3/3 from 30-39? How the hell does that math work? And my punting position's been usurped, dammit. I only got 400 XP rather than 1000+.

Why are they keeping the PS2 alive? Can't that system just die peacefully already?

I've still got 300 flex points to spend, so if someone wants to make a suggestion as to a position the TSM team needs, I'm all ears.

I say it only because I remember Tough Enough, and the dropkick was one of the first offensive moves they were taught beyond the basic punches & kicks. She has put in a lot of work, but how can you not know how to land on a dropkick when that's probably the first or second move you were taught? (I'm taking her WWE.com "I tried landing on my back to make it more forceful" as a "I landed on my back instead of where I should have landed" confession/work, on a side note)

How did Candice get the Women's title when she apparently doesn't know how to deliver a dropkick without breaking her collar bone? Your first match back from a major injury is not the time to be testing out new landing theories. EDIT: And on the subject of women, where's Mickie James been?

So I missed a fieldgoal and an extra point, and we lost by three in my first game. Oops. I also was the punter, and averaged 20 yards per punt. That's what happens when you aren't a punter, I guess. At least I leveled up to level 2.

I like that idea. If you're going to steal the Warrior/Macho booking, why not have him kick out after five Flying Elbows? Holy christ, I just realized: both the men who wrestled in the Warrior/Macho match are currently crazy, and the two women involved in the post-match angle are now deceased. That's depressing. I just watched that match a few days ago.

I've got it. The sound is sort of choppy and the framerate isn't great, but that's only in really heavily populated areas like the carnival. I haven't had any problems with the cutscenes, and you only really notice the below-60-FPS framerate when you go into a building or store that's practically empty and it runs at a full 60. EDIT: I just finished the storyline, and well. I finally saw some consistent choppyness in the framerate, and it was DURING THE CREDITS. Yes, that's right, a simple scrolling of text is choppy. It isn't huge, but for god's sake it's text, and they couldn't get that smooth? All in all, an excellent, excellent game and I'm very glad I picked it up (and also glad I waited for the patch to play it).

I just signed up as a kicker, but now I can't get the damn thing to load so I can distribute my player's points or check the offers. Edit: Still can't get anywhere; keep getting 500 Internal Server Errors about 80% of the time I go to load any of the pages. Edit 2: Check the forums if you want a team that's not CPU-controlled. Of course they're mostly morons who put the team name and division, but not the positions they want so you have to fish through them all and hope they want your player at that level. Edit 3: Snagged a contract with the Ottawa Owls of the Canadian Pro League's Eastern Conference. $800/day with a $3000 signing bonus, and his CPU kicker hadn't missed a field goal yet. What a nice (if inattentive) owner.

Lest we forget Rochester, NY's Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial. Take the community War Memorial and slap your name on the front. Classy. Football team from other sports: My offensive line is sumo wrestlers. Quarterback would be...a baseball pitcher; though the throw mechanics are way off with five sumos in front he should be able to complete a pass during Monday Night Football with a 1pm Sunday kickoff. Running backs would be hockey players for some reason, and I guess they can play tight end too. Wideouts would be basketball players, probably SG/SF. Kicker would be a soccer player, punter a rugby player. Who cares about defense.

I had Georgetown in my Nat'l Title game. Just goes to show you, never trust a team with a bullshit mascot. Commodores, gone. Hoyas, gone. 9 of my 16 alive, 5 of the Elite 8, 3 of the Final Four. Could be worse, but fuck Georgetown.

Suit or not, Rocky's getting a chant. Whether it's "Please come back" or "You sold out" remains to be seen.

It'd actually be more financially responsible than anything. Once you get a TV deal, everyone on an open contract basically gets their pay multiplied by 5 every month they're on the roster, everyone on a written deal doesn't see a change. If you're bringing in a handful of guys to be the gunners for your roster for years to come, going written and locking them up long-term is a smart business move.

I find it amusing that "the right guy" has to end Undertaker's 15-nonconsecutive-year streak, and yet a 40+ year old with a bad back is ending Ric Flair's 30+ year career and nobody thinks twice. If I had to do it, I'd give it to MVP (would have been Kennedy if he wasn't such a fuckup; man how many storylines can that guy blow?) after he low-blows Flair behind the ref's back and rolls him up (maybe even grabbing the tights while he's at it). Flair then puts over how MVP out-dirtied the dirtiest player in the game, and deserved the win and subsequently the honor of being the final opponent in Flair's career.

Well my Elite Eight is short a Vanderbilt. Holy christ was I off on that one. They got wafflestomped.

I wanted to reply too, but I'm not quoting him. If the fans are willing to look past poor workrate or lackluster promo-cutting skills to chant your name for no apparent reason (that is, with no prompting, or with open-ended prompting that wasn't directly designed to get a chant for one person) during a potential title chase, why would they not be willing to look past those same attributes during a title reign?

Whether they could cut promos or wrestle mat classics or tell stories is irrelevant. People wanted to see Van Dam take the belt, and when you're on top of the "People want to see you win/retain the top belt" ladder, no other attribute means anything.

I signed up just like the last two years, and just like the last two years I'll probably find something or someone to do and forget all about it and merely catch up on the upsets on (ech) ESPN.

I don't know what I like best about Yahtzee: the accent, the graphics, or the every-so-often easter eggs in his videos.

It's the Baseball HoF, not the "Baseball players with good morals" HoF.

Go with Chunky Monkey. I looked up as many fat synonyms as I could find and couldn't come up with anything that could top a combination of anti-fatties and racism.

Webb and Haren in a short series, damn? What's that leave for Santana, Pedro & El Duque in a best-of-seven with Maine, Perez & potentially Pelfrey inexplicably left out of the starting rotation?

Kane never takes the Pedigree properly.
