I understand that, but why, under conventional booking practices, would a feud between two teams that hate each other not have a DQ finish of some sort? It comes off as "WAH, forget the other eight matches, I got screwed of a clean win in the midcard and want my money back!"

Shit on the DDQ in the Briscoes-AOTF match if you'd like, but honestly, while a longer match would have been nice, given the angle it's the only sane finish to make. You need a Fight Without Honor to blow it off. Plus you got your hardcore brawl at the end of the night anyway. People are too quick to bitch about the booking

"Don't Hate Me" - Nerf Herder

Didn't see it in the arena and have never seen it on video. Thanks for that.

Street Fight's probably the best choice here. Good call.

The voting's gotta be legit. Why make that up?

Less than ten minutes until showtime. Join us won't you?

It seemed like a weird turn considering DiBiase had been a heel for about 12 years at that point.

In my defense, I have a one year old daughter so I pretty much can only write when she's sleeping, which is generally late at night. THis is the longest I've spent in the forums in weeks.

I oughta start writing, huh?

While these were at shows: Ran into Konnan in the concession line of the Canton Civic Center about 45 minutes before he won the US Title from One Man Gang. Also bumped into Eric Bischoff (literally) outside Gund Arena after Survivor Series 2004. Why he was there despite being on vacation and off-camera, I dunno.

So no one has to turn their pop up blocker off. Or something.

Can't make the show but I really want to see that Evans-Akuma match.

Awesome. I also have to give credit to Singh for "accepting the challenge", which makes it clear to me this was an angle to save face for the cancellation.

I think CanadianChris was actually asking what songs they were and not a Wikipedia entry on music videos. I clicked the first three and stopped. The first was about some chick getting off on fast food or something and I don't know what the fuck the others were.

What are your favorite parts of really bad movies? I absolutely hated Scary Movie 4, but the Dr. Phil/Shaq scene at the beginning was classic.

I question the Blender 50 worst song list on page one, simply because I perused Blender's 500 Best Songs since 1980 list and some on that list, while bad, are less blood-out-of-the-ears inducing than the ones they like.

"Goodbye Earl". I hate the Dixie Chicks anyway, but you know if Willie Nelson had done the same song about an abusive woman getting murdered by her husband and his buddy there'd have been lynchings at his concerts, but people treated this like comedy.
