The fact that Sacrifice is the one I ordered (for it being the last under the NWA banner) and it drew that low is surprising. The original ECW did better numbers than half of these.

I think Venkman's right. Every wrestling ring except maybe some set up in the backyard has wrapped cables for ropes, so that makes no sense.

Excessive celebration isn't borderline when it takes 30 seconds and you jump on a teammate so he can lift you into the air. They didn't call a fucking poke to the eye as unsportsmanlike conduct. They called unnecessary roughness when someone tripped over a camerman's foot while he was being stared at. Never mind that a drive that was stopped on third and long was continued for an illegal contact call that was borderline at best on a play where Brady never had a chance to throw the ball. OMFG THE REFZ GAVE THE PATZ DA GAME is beyond tiresome at this point only because everytime they don't run the fucking score up somebody has to say it.

There's still hope for the Colts' backups to beat the Titans tomorrow. Right? Fuck.

How the hell did that go three rounds? If you missed it, find that fight!

I agree. Except I think you and I are thinking of different definitions of special. Ask anybody who followed the Browns for five seasons with Belichick as coach if Belichick is a special coach.

King, we're buds, and you're one of the two Boston fans I've ever met that isn't an asshole, but that's the thing. I've met hundreds of Boston fans, and two of them aren't assholes. That's about .25 percent (and that might be a generous percentage). The majority of them act like they deserve to have World Championships in sports because it's Boston. I'm sure it's a very nice city (I've never been and it's on my short list of cities to visit), but the smugness of the vast majority of them make me root against them. Except the Celtics, but that's because I grew up on Larry Bird.

There is not a doubt in my mind if the Pats make the Super Bowl they'll be handed the -- I mean, they'll win.

Fuck. Well if my choices were "the Patriots can go 16-0 and lose in the playoffs" or "the Patriots can go 15-1 and win the Super Bowl", I'll take the former. If the Patriots win the Super Bowl too, I'll be fucking pissed.

If they somehow get the onside kick, we have a ballgame.

ANd now the refs can't put the ball on the line in less than 20 seconds. Brilliant.

At least it's not as bad as the farce that was the Raven's game. Point well made, but the fact that Collinsworth even stopped sucking Brady's cock long enough to start questioning the officiating should tell you something.

So a poke to the eye isn't unnecessary roughness, but staring at a guy who falls is... ... ...and I'm supposed to believe the Patriots are winning this solely because they're the better team. Ooooooooo....K.

Is it a remake of "the Wrestler" with Dusty Rhodes, Verne Gagne and Don Muraco? I have that on DVD.. No. I'm not sure the world is ready for that.

24/7 mode is buggy as hell. It's like the TNA writers handled the 24/7 mode in this damn thing.

See, if you're going to start a thread about fart stories you have to tell one first. It's like a rule or something.

What's a smart fan? A fan with a high IQ?

Since I lost 24/7 after I moved this summer, somebody could become a friend for life if they can provide me copies those MSG shows that are due for January.

Don West will do so much screaming that he'll have a heart attack and collapse at the table during an Impact taping...which will not be edited out of the broadcast when it airs three weeks later. Christopher Daniels will return to TNA prior to the next Feast or Fired Match and get the pink slip again, despite Chris Sabin getting one of the briefcases and putting in his notice the next day.

It would have been nice for a mention on TV about that. If I thought about that reading the result, surely someone in the crowd thought about it.

And she's one of the ones I like!

I wish I had enough time to explain how she first went crazy and got banned in the first place. Screw it, I'll do the cliff notes. At the time, her screen name was Alina. Somebody accidentally typed it ALina and she flipped and starting causing trouble until her initial banning. Since then, she shows up every few months and does OK, but at some point rubs someone in charge the wrong way and gets banned again.

Not much of an inside joke. A PBP, Leena, has rejoined about eight times in the last two weeks and keeps getting banned, so the mods are putting "probably Leena" as a custom title for every new poster until they prove they're not Leena

Regarding the 1991 Rumble, the original PPV airing went 3 hours and 12 minutes, so it looks like they cut out the 5-minute intermission (which featured ads and promos for an upcoming European tour) and maybe a promo for WMVII ad somewhere.

Austin never wrestled in SMW and I don't think WWE has rights to any USWA footage, so the Smoky Mountain days thing is curious to me. Sorry if this has been addressed in later responses, but WWF actually did an invasion sort of thing with SmW so I imagine they own (or have some rights to) some of the footage if not all. As I stated, Austin never wrestled in SMW. There's a possibility of rights to USWA footage depending on what was in Kevin Von Erich's library, but I'm not sure what the cutoff was for that.
