Mike wanna be

A. Performer Of The Year - the best overall combination of someone who can back it up in the ring but can entertain on promos. 1. Chris Jericho 2. HBK 3. John Cena B. Wrestler Of The Year - the wrestler who can best work a technical match. Though part of "working" is the ability to entertain a crowd (this is why Hulk Hogan can never be called a bad worker - bad mat technician yes, but the man could work a crowd), this is meant for those who may not be over with Casual Joe, but Hardcore Henry says he's the greatest of all time. 1. Chris Jericho 2. HBK 3. CM Punk C. Entertainer Of The Year - while everyone is eligable of course, the idea here is that just because all their matches are about * or less, you find them to be a guilty pleasure or hilarious or what not. I already know who the winner is but we'll go through the motions. 1. Santino Marella 2. Charlie Haas 3. Kofi Kingston D. Tag-Team Of The Year: 1. Miz & Morrison 2. Cryme Tyme 3. LAX E.

Did Heenan ever get his voice back? I heard that once his jawbone reconstruction was done he'd have it back, or closer to what he used to be than what he was pre-reconstruction, but I haven't heard anything in months.

Observer Sounds like he stole one on JBL, but all is fair. How do you "jump a guy" while managing to give him a cut under the eye/black eye and not retaliate? It seems more likely that JBL gave Styles shit, got dropped and somebody's playing damage control, because it doesn't make sense to me that a drunk JBL would let some "tiny" guy sucker-punch him, cause an overly bloody cut or a black eye, and not start an outright brawl with anybody trying to get between him & Styles, especially when he's cited as 'furious'. I'm not saying Joey wrecked him & ruined his shit or whatever, but more like Joey's one shot knocked JBL on his ass and Joey proceeded to get the hell outta Dodge before JBL could recover.

That's a list of characters, not active wrestlers, though. So when they say guys like Ross & Lawler, do they mean in commentary roles or active participants, or both? .....I see Gorilla Monsoon on there. And Bobby Heenan. It's too good to be true, and one of them's dead, but fuck if I wouldn't buy this game to have Monsoon & Heenan on commentary someway, somehow.

I'm in, but somebody PM me when it starts so I don't forget to show up.

Change his position to SP and pawn him off on the Yankees

Yeah, they had it on the table. I missed the first half hour but they didn't make reference to it at all the second half hour.

Even if it's not ruled dead, I think touching the football with him being down would constitute down by contact, so you can't just take the ball out of his hand and run.

Or he'll go to the Big East school who already has a coaching vacancy and is what, a three hour drive across the state away from his current residence?

I wonder if they'll get the angry headbutting Russian or the "I LOVE DOUBLE DOUBLE E" ticket-buying Russian if Koslov goes to TNA.

So four years of 9+ wins (including 11-2 and 13-0 seasons), 6-1 in bowl games since 2002 and six previous straight wins over your rival provided no job security whatsoever, huh Did I miss something here? He resigned of his own free will; Auburn said his job was safe, tried to get him to reconsider 3 times, and agreed to give him the $5.1 million buyout even though they weren't required to once they gave up trying to win him back.

I forget, how did games like Wrestlemania and No Mercy handle the royal rumble feature? Power/running strike when they're by the ropes to knock them through the ropes, and then when they're on the apron another power/running strike to knock them out. If you had worn them down or were sufficiently bigger than them, one power/running strike would send them flying over the top rope and onto the floor.

Keep the suit, but go back to long trunks, I say.

A Vikings fan in robes Minnesota judge blocked the suspension of the Williamses via an injunction, which means something I don't know and can't be bothered to ask my ex-legal-transcriptionist mother to find out, but apparently they'll be able to play. No word on if Texas or Louisiana judges are planning similar moves for the other 4 suspendees.

Why does not playing for a conference title matter if the sole reason they're not playing is the BCS ranking to begin with, which they barely lost? Those matchups are terrible. What's wrong with it is, say, the Big XII South champion defined as "the team that lost to the Big XII's national championship representative". How do you win a national championship competed for by 120 teams when you can't definitively say you're the best in your six-team division? And doesn't it totally make an even bigger mockery of the BCS polling situation if the poll that knocks Texas out of the Big XII title game is the same poll that subsequently puts them in the national title game? Right now, Texas needs an Oklahoma loss and/or an unconvincing Alabama loss to slip into the top 2 and then one win gives them the national title. Based on the current "playoff" rankings, however, Texas would have to go through a Utah team I admittedly haven't seen, and two of the remaining six teams (The SEC champion/runner-up in Bama or Florida, Big 10 champion Penn State, Pac 10 champion USC, Big XII #3 Texas Tech and Big XII champion/runner-up Oklahoma) to get the "same" national title. Who deserves it more: a Texas team that beats one unbeaten mid-major conference champion and two other 11/12 regular-season-win teams (including potentially 2 other "BCS conference" champions), or a Texas team that gets lucky next weekend so the chips fall in such a way they get in the national title game, and one lucky win to 'earn' the crystal football? Furthermore they may not be the most "exciting" matchups, but aren't those four matchups as national championship quarterfinals more exciting than the USC vs. Penn State, Bama/Florida loser vs. at-large Utah/Boise State, Texas vs Utah/Boise State, and BC/VT vs Cincinnati matchups we'll probably get in the meaningless "BCS" bowl games?

So Texas is, with a Mizzou upset or some Florida-over-Alabama-with-really-illogical-voting tomfoolery, going to the BCS title game without even playing for their conference championship. Awesome. For the record, if we went with a top 8 BCS playoff system, we would at present have: Alabama/Penn State, OU/Texas Tech in a rematch, Texas/Utah, and Florida/USC, with Boise State lurking outside should Florida get blown out and drop a ton of spots (I assume #2 OU would stay top 8 even with a blowout; see Texas Tech).

I haven't played it either, but I just snagged a copy for the DS and I've had the ROM for ages...I have no excuse for not playing it, I just never got around to doing so.

Nameplate's awful, beyond that they're really good. I don't see why they have white numbers in black outline, but they can't repeat the process for the name instead of having a giant white rectangle on their backs.

I'd like to see Ralph Wilson go in this year, not because I like him in any way shape or form, but because he's guaranteed to go in at some point and I'm a believer that when possible, vote someone in when they're still alive to enjoy & appreciate it. Also that'd be a great time for him to announce the debut of the Toronto Bills, just to be a dick.

1. How do you feel about the Dallas/Detroit tradition? How would you change it, if at all? I say make Dallas play Detroit every year in snake format for stadium & time (i.e. DAL@DET 4pm this year, DAL@DET 12pm next year, DET@DAL 12pm in 2010, DET@DAL 4pm in 2011). Make the other CBS/FOX & NFL Network games flex games announced at the start of November, to quell the "We want to know ahead of time if we get to spend Thanksgiving with our families or playing football" crowd. 2. Are there ten QBs in the league -right now- that you would take over Matt Ryan? If so, who? If not, does that blow your mind? Where do you rate him? Considering 12 QBs have better QB ratings than him, minus 3 that haven't played in all 11 games going into Week 13, I have to give him credit. In a one-game situation right now I wouldn't take him as a top-10 quarterback, but as a face-of-the-franchise, 12-season QB I would probably take him #1. 3. Who is the best player in the AFC west? I'm going way out on a limb and giving the honor, for this season only, to Tyler Thigpen. He QBs a 1-10 team, sure, but for god's sake he's at least keeping them pseudo-competitive. Can you say any of the other QBs with Thigpen's 'supporting cast' could have kept that team competitive? 4. Where does Donovan McNabb play next season? He either goes to Minnesota and starts, or he goes to Tennessee to try to mentor Vince Young, as while Collins has been good he's too old to be a long-term solution and they've got #3 overall money tied up in Vince. Maybe the Rams, Bears or Lions take a stab at him as well, but two of those three are going to be bad enough to warrant taking a QB in the draft rather than gambling on an aging free agent. 5. Why does Seattle suck so bad? 152 yards per game through the air will do it for you. The Raiders get more passing yards, for god's sake. On top of that, they're 31st in pass defense. They lead the NFL in tackles, which shows you just how long that defense is spending on the field. Mediocre run game + bad pass attack + inability to stop the pass = can't make a comeback when you fall behind, can't keep the opposing offense off the field by running out the clock, and you can't hold the lead if by some miracle you actually have a lead in the first place because your pass defense can't stop anybody.

Pete Rose got in by receiving a Tombstone; Santa could get in via getting the Stunner.

As a one on one match, there is the possibility for a DQ. However, once Edge entered and made it a Triple Threat, there is no DQ. There are no DQ's in Triple Threat matches. Ever. That's why you were probably confused. I have never recalled them making a point that triple threat matches are always no DQ as a stipulation. They did a long time ago. Same thing with no count out. If one guy shoves the referee, he gets disqualified...if he gets himself counted out, he loses by (obviously) countout...but who won the match, there are two opponents. They can't both win, especially in the case of title matches (which most of the first triple threat matches were), so the match as a whole was declared noDQ/noCO.

At least this part's right. And since when does a general manager have the ability to trade title belts?

Yeah, and it's on Monday Night Football, too. While I'm sure that Kornheiser will spend the three hours discussing Tampa's flirtation with Brett Favre in the offseason, it's still going to be an awesome game. Due to this team being miles better than the last two Tampa Bay teams to make a run at the playoffs, I can say without exaggeration that this will be the biggest Buccaneers game since the Super Bowl in 2003. At the moment it's the difference between the #2 seed, a first-round bye and a home game, and the #5 seed with no bye and no guaranteed home game.
