The Critic

3 to 5 years ago I'd have been all over this, but I'm too f***ed up and broken down to do it any more. I tried my "comeback" this year, but after this Thursday night that little failed experiment comes to an end.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ May 20, 2008 -> 08:52 AM) Regal got suspended 60 days,.. WELL, WELL, WELLNESS VIOLATION...... WWE issued the following this morning on WWE.com: World Wrestling Entertainment® Suspends Performer STAMFORD, Conn., May 20, 2008 - In accordance with its Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy, WWE® has suspended Darren Matthews (William Regal) for 60 days for his second violation of the company’s policy The length of the suspension indicates it is Regal's second Wellness Policy violation. He was "fired" last night on RAW after losing a match to Mr. Kennedy.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 19, 2008 -> 11:11 PM) I like you and all, but being a Wings fan and a Hawks fan? No. Go Pens I've liked the Wings since I was a little Critic and Gordie Howe was still playing in Detroit. You know who I DON'T like? Montreal. You know why? They beat the Hawks in the Cup Finals TWICE when I was a kid. Detroit has never beaten the Hawks in the Finals, but Pittsburgh has. They skated around the Stadium ice with the Cup, throwing it in our faces. All Hawks fans should be rooting for the Wings for that reason alone. (I know, I know........ )

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 19, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) So for the idiot hockey fan, who is the favorite to win the cup now? I'm definitely rooting for Pitt. It's going to be a very good series, and I'm rooting for Detroit, but it really can go either way.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 19, 2008 -> 07:27 PM) The only thing I can think is that Regal just wants to take some time off of TV. I cannot see either of these guys leaving the company Yeah, it can't be Kennedy off TV again so soon, so there must be something else at work here.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 19, 2008 -> 07:21 PM) Kennedy vs Regal in a "You're Fired!" match tonite I don't know where they're going with this, but losing either one of them would suck. Losing Regal would suck so much more than losing Kennedy, though, so if this is a legit "firing" I choose Regal to win.

3-0 Wings now. ....I'm feeling a little better now....

Soto's inside-the-park HR (which should have been a regular out-of-the-park HR, but no umpire can figure out that retarded yellow line in Houston) was the first inside-the-parker by a Cubs catcher since 1959.

1-0 Red Wings early. I still have a bad feeling about this game, though.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 19, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) haha, edmonds hurt already That was a sharp foul off the shin. I don't know why he wouldn't wear one of those guards.

QUOTE (Kid Gleason @ May 19, 2008 -> 01:05 PM) It's still so weird looking at Critic with an avatar. Not sure how to explain this to the kids. I'm going to put up a signature with a photo next and completely blow your mind!

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 09:02 AM) http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=11489 Liddell out of the June UFC. Link above has a pic of his torn hamstring, it is NASTY. Looking for replacement to fight Evans and Meltzer mentioned they are going to add two more fights to the card. Not much the UFC could do if this card ends up being lame, they initially had Shogun vs. Liddell, then Shogun had knee surgery. Likely they'll put on a solid card, but lack a major name in the main event. Holy f***, that hamstring tear is UGLY.

I will absolutely purchase this DVD set: -- WWE is putting together a DVD on Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig entitled The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect. They are currently interviewing people for the project. The two-disc set is scheduled to be released on September 9, 2008. I hope they include a TON of those "Absolutely Perfect" promos!

Happy Birthday, ya old f***!! Here's a slew of appropriate emoticons to celebrate your day! And we have to get together soon to replicate this one:

QUOTE (Brian @ May 18, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) I would love to see a Red Wings choke job. A lot of people around here would. I'm not one of those people. Therefore, I hate you.

Penguins are 20 minutes away from the Stanley Cup Finals. They lead Philly 5-0 after 2 periods. Now the Red Wings just have to put the Stars away on Monday and let's get the Finals going!!

I'd do it, for sure.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 15, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) Thank you for assuming I have a car You're from Texas, Land Of Big Oil, ain'tcha? I thought having a car and attending high school football games were mandatory down there!

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 15, 2008 -> 09:10 AM) Science answers how, religion answers why. You got that on a bumper sticker? [definitely green]

I thought they'd only want you to believe in one being no one can see or prove the existence of.... [green?]

My 30GB Pod currently holds 6,046 songs, which would take 15.3 days to listen to consecutively.

I think my favorite part of Raw last night was: Murdoch: "....there'll be plenty of time for countin'....when the dealin's done...." Cade: POW!!!! right in the mouth!!!! The shot looked stiff, and I really wasn't expecting it, so it worked well for me.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:29 PM) Why are these Cubs threads so popular? I just don't get it. I can only speak for myself, but I like this thread because I have a lot of Cub fans in my family, as well as a lot of friends who like them. As a result, I watch a lot of Cubs baseball and I like to be able to discuss their games objectively with people. I just like to watch baseball in general - just because the White Sox are my favorite team doesn't mean I'm blinded to or disinterested in all other teams. Not all Sox fans foam at the mouth at the mere mention of the Cubs, so those fans often like to discuss Cubs games as well.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ May 12, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) Thanks. Seems like not many people remember who I am.... Yeah, that's it.....

Terrible sell of the Superkick by Jericho. Blinking, licking his lips, knees up, hands off the mat. Didn't look realistic at all.
