For Christ sakes, it was ten years ago. Of course I remember it. And the thought that we might be heading back in that direction isn't appealing. And you have fans of 22 teams that are already fucking there, and they wish you would realize that. What? Thanks for interpreting, kingpk. It's nice to know that somebody can read English. Don't fucking remind me, Bob.

So they're not really using the trophy anymore, which was more or less designed to prevent this angle. And wasn't Samoa Joe's entire gimmick that the title was always on the line when he wrestled?

That's a candidate for Forums Quote of the Week right there. What about my Simpsons "Homer at the Bat" parody song? I came up with that on the shitter...Fuck the CumShot! *L* Well, yours doesn't need the three pages before it to get the full point. The cumshot made me laugh out loud though. It's a tossup really.

And you have fans of 22 teams that are already fucking there, and they wish you would realize that. With Steinbrenner's money, the only way for that team not to make the postseason is to pull a Florida Marlins post-1997: clear out everybody and rely on rookies and people who suck.

Does anybody actually have the number one contender's trophy right now?

Wasn't Taker injured around the time of WrestleMania X?

You have a very narrow definition of "drought." 3 years and counting, with nothing to assure me that it's ending next year or the year after that. Yeah, and you'd won four out five until that, and two of those three years you made it to a championship round. Forgive me if I don't shed a tear because you expect to end every year 173-0.l

Toots Mondt, Billy Sandow and Strangler Lewis, who technically created the fixed form of pro wrestling we see today. As the Phantom of the Ring pointed out in The Founding Father (check it out at WrestlingPerspective.com), 90% of today's formulas were invented by these 3 individuals. too bad I have to read such stupid remarks like "Who the hell is Jim Londos" by self professed *smart* fans. There was definitely a connection between Pfefer and Mondt though. Must have been a bit later than that. Of course, Mondt had an on-again off-again working relationship with Vincent J. McMahon throughout the 50s and 60s in the northeast.

I want them too, but you had to go and tease all of us. Apology accepted, but that goes for everybody who starts one of these. Please put something in the topic that shows you don't have them if you have to ask for them.

For the last time... NEVER START A RESULTS THREAD IF YOU'RE NOT POSTING THEM! Sorry, but this happens every time there's a show. Is it that hard to make the subtopic "Anybody have them?"

If I'm thinking of the right group, wasn't Jack Pfefer (sp?) part of that? Anyway, I can't remember who said it, but I remember someone saying one time, "All wrestling fans are marks, but you have to be in the business to truly be a smart mark."

He doesn't blow that game, we play tomorrow. And if the Yankees could have gotten one hit with runners in scoring position tonight, you're playing tomorrow. But Weaver has to be the scapegoat, so we'll simply forget that fact.

AS, no offense, but your Jeff Weaver hate, while understandable, is like the "Bill Buckner cost the Red Sox the 1986 World Series" bullshit. Poor pitching that inning is the only reason Buckner even had a chance at that play. Had the pitcher done his job, Buckner never has a ball hit to him. That and people forget there was a game 7 for the Sox to lose that year. You could argue that Buckner cost the team game 6, but game 7 fell on the team, not Bill Buckner. Weaver got into one game, and while he arguably cost the Yankees that game, to say he cost the Yankees the entire series is just silly. If one person has to be the scapegoat for the entire, at least blame somebody who, you know, played tonight.

You do realize that without the fluff, you're down to about 12 people posting in this folder?

I can't say I disagree with JumpinJackFlash here. It's grossly and intentionally misleading. However, if the swearing was silenced, then didn't they technically cut something out of the show? Still, stick with the DVD version.

Can we at least agree that it's a cool looking move? By the way, since we're on the subject of judo moves, what does the sambo suplex look like? That's another move that gets confused for a rock bottom and/or a uranage by people. (Not me on this one).

What should I call it, a "slam type thingie"? Ooo, real descriptive. If the name's wrong, I apologize, but it's not like ESPN has judo tournaments on all the time. At least I'm not in Tony Schiavone mode and calling everything a sidewalk slam. It doesn't really matter, because it will have some Japanese mafia name attached to it within two weeks that I'll end up using.

If it's the one I saw from MSG, it's really too short to be anything special. Not bad, just disappointing.

Where and when did this Michaels-Jannetty match occur? I remember absolutely nothing about it.

Two things: 1. I don't watch judo and have to go with what I know, so the move was sort of but not really a Rock Bottom, so I gave it the closest name I could think of. 2. I do the recap as the show airs, and it takes me about 45 minutes to edit and post it on average.

It was supposed to be out last week but got delated. That's all I know.

I don't know why, but I found the bit where they're going from store to store in the crab people world hilarious. I have a warped sense of humor.
