speaking of wrestling, I just came across this..... - groiny Jul 13, 11:30 28
- his first WWE appearance drove home just how crappy WCW was in comparison to the WWE -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:38 23
  - for a long time, WCW owned WWE. - groiny Jul 13, 11:40 22
    - They were better for the better part of a decade, but WWF won, so nobody will remember it that way. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:44 18
      - One of the 2 had a very noticeable smaller ring. Which one was it? - Jim Jul 13, 11:48 3
        
        I have no idea but WWF rings were notoriously bouncier. WCW had tighter ring ropes. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:49
        
        WCW -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:48 1
        
        I was only into the rasslin for a little while...but the smaller ring drove me nuts and caused me to like WWF better. -- nm - Jim Jul 13, 11:49
      - once the style became more important than the substance.... - groiny Jul 13, 11:46 13
        
        WCW's substance around 98/99 was dying as well. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:49 7
        
        Jericho, Goldberg, Mysterio, off the top of my head nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 11:52 1
        
        Jericho left becuase he knew he wouldnt' get a chance...Mysterio got a token chance becuase he was Nash's buddy but it went nowhere - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:54
        
        Everyone forgets it now, but Jericho came up through WCW. - David Jul 13, 11:50 4
        
        Oh yeah, he was the other guy who was first to jump when he realized he would never get a chance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:52
        
        he was awesome in WCW, his feud with Dean Malenko was greatness. -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:51 1
        
        Yeah, he got screwed by the fact that they looked down on the pure wrestlers for being so small. - David Jul 13, 11:55
        
        Y2J. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 11:51
        
        It's strange in that I like Kevin Nash and I think he's wrestling savvy but WCW fell apart due to his time as booker. - David Jul 13, 11:47 4
        
        they could have killed it off, just not the way they did it (fake cattle prod IIRC) -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 11:49 3
        
        Problem they had was they'd built him up as the unbeatable .... he wasn't a good wrestler so you had to keep it short - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:51 1
        
        He was their 1980s Hogan and they blew it. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:56
        
        Right. It needed to be clean and emphatic, not a cheat. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:51
    - They had 2 years tops where they owned WWE....96-98. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:42 2
      - this was the same time WWE had Mae Young giving birth to a hand. - groiny Jul 13, 11:44 1
        
        Yeah, they also were outdrawing WCW by then 5.0 - 3.0 in ratings - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:47
- Does it come with the complementary vial of HGH? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:33 3
  - maybe, does not change the fact that he entertained the shit out of me. - groiny Jul 13, 11:35 2
    - His entrance dance in the ring with that huge ass smile was so classic. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:38
    - ditto. He was an old school heel. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:36
Let the Right One In gets a B+ -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 11:30
you guys have already discussed this ad nauseum but has anyone considered that mg's gf may have messed with the recordings? - kare Jul 13, 11:29 44
- I have not listened, but do the tapes start with the rants? - Black Rabbit Jul 13, 12:02
- It'll all come out cleanly in an episode of Law & Order: LA. -- nm - Diva Jul 13, 11:49 1
  - I wondered yesterday if they'd bring back Chevy. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:51
- Sounds to me like she had a plan of what to say to get him riled up. - Jim Jul 13, 11:41
- It sounds like her close to the mic and him on speaker phone. And kudos for her for recording it. Domestic violence can be difficult - TWuG Jul 13, 11:36 10
  - Honestly, if this is fully known, I expect him to have next to no career going forward other than what he'll self-finance. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:39 2
    - yeah but with the Passion money he can self finance a hell of a lot -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 11:42
    - yeah, i don't see much of a successful public career for him after this. - kare Jul 13, 11:41
  - I think he deserves pity in the sense that he's clearly unhappy with where his life is - Reagen Jul 13, 11:39 1
    - I agree with this. I think it's possible to have pity for him, for that, and still hold him accountable for his actions. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 13, 11:53
  - i wonder how admissable something like this really is. wouldn't she have had to call the police and press charges when there's physical evidence of - kare Jul 13, 11:38 4
    - States laws control whether you can record phone conversations without sharing that they are being recorded, IIRC. - TWuG Jul 13, 11:43
    - I think was more of a play for the money - she wants hush money - Epiphany Jul 13, 11:43 1
      - yeah, previously she went public with the fact that she had run out of money. - kare Jul 13, 11:48
    - supposedly there's an exception in the wiretap law for threats. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:39
- He's like three meltdowns past benefit of the doubt. I'm trying to decide who would be the comparable fit among current actors. - David Jul 13, 11:35 16
  - Alec Baldwin? - facto Jul 13, 11:40
  - Tom Cruise freaking out on Oprah! - Reagen Jul 13, 11:37 13
    - All kidding aside, this is so much worse than what Cruise did yet I don't think it will be held against Mel as much. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:38 11
      - Mel is done. Ari Emanuel is seeing to it personally -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 11:50
      - This is such an interesting discussion given that Polanski was freed today. - Mel Profit Jul 13, 11:48 1
        
        Gibson's problem is the heights he reached. - Reagen Jul 13, 11:50
      - Wait until the photos of her broken teeth are leaked. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:42
      - agreed -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 11:41
      - after this upcoming Jodie Foster thing, I don't think he works again for a decade if ever. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:41 5
        
        nobody thinks the Beaver will even get released at this point -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 11:53
        
        (looks like he has one more that's already filming - I think they both get quietly buried) - Reagen Jul 13, 11:48 1
        
        As rarely as Foster works, I doubt one of her films gets buried. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:53
        
        I hope you're right but I remember that scary-ass zealot letter we got back in March from the Passion of the Christ fan. -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:45
        
        I agree. Only if he self-finances and releases (and I think he'll lose the millions he made on the Passion of the Christ if he does). -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 11:45
    - I thought of that, but his implosion is mild compared to this -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:38
  - Clooney actually *was* a heel at the Oscars. freaked me out. -- nm - kare Jul 13, 11:37
- Are there transcripts? -- nm - mara Jul 13, 11:35 3
  - You have to listen to get the full effect. nm - Dignan Jul 13, 11:44 1
    - *breathes heavily* -- nm - kare Jul 13, 11:47
  - here's one for tape #2 -- (link) - kare Jul 13, 11:40
- a broadcast I heard was saying that she sounded like she was separately mic'd -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:31 2
  - I'm reasonably certain she did this on speakerphone. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:31 1
    - Yeah and probably had a little tape recorder held up to the speaker -- nm - decline Jul 13, 11:35
- Unless it's some avante garde production of Death of a Salesman, I don't know what he could be responding to where that's acceptable - Reagen Jul 13, 11:30 3
  - I haven't listened yet but it sounds like something that I would never match - zork Jul 13, 11:34
  - Heh :-) nice touch -- nm - facto Jul 13, 11:34
  - oh, i think he's horrendous. it just sounds like that to me. his admission to hitting her? that could have been a response to anything. know what i - kare Jul 13, 11:31
- er, you *may* have discussed it. -- nm - kare Jul 13, 11:30
John Cleese rants - soccer vs football -- (link) - facto Jul 13, 11:29 [youtube]
So sad, just withdrew the balance from my cantor account. I'm going to have to find another way to leisurely make millions. - ceregon Jul 13, 11:28 3
- bet on black -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 12:08
- they should just wait until blanche lincoln gets beaten in november and then lobby for an amendment removing the ban to get buried in a random - chuckles Jul 13, 11:30 1
  - Still waiting for the same with poker. Ain't happening. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:35
ah yes, Human Target. The adventures of detective Fred Human and male erotic dancer Chet Target -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:27 1
- Wait, is that what dignan was trying to do? -- nm - David Jul 13, 11:28
Best player at the WC? - Loyola Jul 13, 11:25 29
- Forlan or Mueller -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 13, 11:30
- Klose did pretty well -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:30
- Larissa Riquelme -- nm - decline Jul 13, 11:29
- Schweinsteiger! -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:28 9
  - Schweini? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:32 2
    - It's just very cool to pronounce Schweinsteiger (add exclamation mark for that special German feel). Of course Forlan was best. -- nm - facto Jul 13, 11:36 1
      - sebastian has become better i am sorry to say - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:37
  - I liked Ozil too, but he never tracks back. Quality going forward. -- nm - Loyola Jul 13, 11:32 5
    - ozil had one great game, but it seemed like he got neutralized a bit when people started paying attention....nm - x Jul 13, 11:34 4
      - I just like saying Schweinsteiger! -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 11:35 3
        
        heh, I said to my wife that she'll be sad when he's no longer on the team -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:37 2

- Forlan or Villa -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:27
- Diego Furlan was elected best player -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:26 6
  - was forlan really that bad when he was at man u? i only just started watching premiere + la liga this year and.... - x Jul 13, 11:28 5
    - He was probably too cool for the English - they cramped his style, as it were.. -- nm - facto Jul 13, 11:38
    - No I thought it was madness letting him go. Van Nistlerooy was the main man there though at the time and Forlan wasn't the best underling for him. - Loyola Jul 13, 11:30 2
      - using him in lesser games seems a misstep. whenever i see him in something that counts, he delivers....nm - x Jul 13, 11:33 1
        
        he is more mature now i think, many players become better after a few years in Fergusons hands -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:34
    - he did not fit the system i guess - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:30
- yes. though forlan merited serious consideration....nm - x Jul 13, 11:26
- Forlan was the best game in, game out that i saw -- nm - chuckles Jul 13, 11:26 1
  - He reminds me of Steven Weber crossed with Mark Feuerstein. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:27

  - [deleted] 1
    - you want to rail me. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 11:34
  - if a dude looked like that walked up to a model type girl, they would get maced. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 11:31 1
    - Captive work environment and he's apparently that good a personality. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:32
- He's always been personality plus. He was hugely popular in Florida then Vegas just as a personality. - David Jul 13, 11:27
- He has to be funny, clearly. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:26
- He's apparently one of the nicer decent guys in the business. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 11:25
- The same way pixie gets chicks. Cash. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 11:24 4
  - Now explain how Pixie has cash -- nm - Bacon on a phone Jul 13, 11:25 3

England football matches being moved to the Gay Adult Channel. The sight of 11 arseholes getting hammered for 90 minutes was far too explicit for ITV -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:20 2
- What do you call an Englishman in the World Cup Final? - Reagen Jul 13, 11:21 1
  - *laughs* -- nm - facto Jul 13, 11:25
as if ManU will play more than half their starters -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:19 9

  - too true. he was a total no-show -- nm - zork Jul 13, 11:21
  - Was I there? I feel like I was there but I'm not sure. -- nm - Ronaldo Jul 13, 11:21 5

      - they might do that untill - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 11:26

    - You've got the grass stains on your ass and back to prove you were there. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 11:22
    - i think you were, because i vaguely remember a lot of arm waving at the officials and you spitting at the cameraman's feet after the last match....nm - x Jul 13, 11:22
