The Critic

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) I hate to say it but the first thing that came to mind was a Phil Hartman situation. I hate to say that the first thing that came to my mind when homicide was mentioned was Kevin Sullivan.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:33 PM) I don't have TV coverage, but am I wrong when I say that one of the reasons we signed Hall was becasue he was a good defensive catcher? Or was it his bat we wanted? I thought it was his right-handed bat to spell AJ against lefties?

And Hawk goes into his VERY TIRED diatribe about the Sox not getting calls from umpires.

abcnews.com is reporting that the deaths are being investigated as homicides. Wow.

Vince does the right thing!!!!! Finally.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:39 PM) It's supposed to be a three hour Raw so 7 CST should be the start time. LCR ignores Daylight Savings Time cuz HE'S HARDCORE!! HE'S HARDCORE!!!

I first figured it out when Steff talked about the "big belly club" attending the Kings Of Comedy show later this year. Congrats and best of luck with the pregnancy, Steff!

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:35 PM) Vince needs to be out there on the show and bring everybody together like he did with Eddie, storylines be damned. Yes. He needs to pay the proper respect to a great performer and at the same time kill off one of the worst storylines in recent memory (and that's saying something).

Good thing Crawford didn't get lift on that ball.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 06:25 PM) Talk about a sick irony....I checked info on the wrestling program tonight and it says "Mr. McMahon's Memorial Service" as the detail. I guess 2 weeks ago they faked his death in a limo explosion as part of a storyline for the shows. I'm sure all those people really feel like s*** now. If anyone in the McMahon family had souls, I bet they would feel bad. But that family has plunged the depths of poor taste so many times, and for so long, I doubt they feel much of anything right now.

Just read on the Observer website that Chris, Nancy (known as Woman in her wrestling/managing days), and son Daniel were found in the home. Chris' other two kids were believed to be in Canada.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:29 PM) I seriously doubt this is an angle, but I swear I will stop watching wrestling forever if it is. And they have to stop this McMahon angle RIGHT now. They just have to. I would stop watching WWE forever. I wouldn't blame TNA for Vince's (and Benoit's, at that point) lack of humanity. That would be too much for me to accept. I could easily see Vince doing something like that, but I'd be shocked if Benoit would ever go along with something so classless. QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:32 PM) WWE has flat out said that he is dead. Not missing, but dead. They avoided that with the McMahon angle, only that it was presumed. This is real. And extremly, extremly odd. He went home to attend to personal family issues last night, only to be killed? I'm mystified. I saw a guess on another message board that made sense. Gas leak. He went home because of illness in the family, and they died overnight. That would make sense - any other reason for the whole family to die at once would IMO be far more sinister. We'll have to wait and see.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) WWE.com is reporting Chris Benoit and his family have been found dead in their home. I don't think this is one of their sick stunts either... I think this is real. I'm not seeing this on any wrestling news sites yet. It sucks that McMahon's stupid storyline is even throwing something like this in doubt. I doubt Benoit would participate in a stunt like this, though, so I'm taking this as a serious report. Unbelievably sad news. Benoit was one of the best. RIP to the "Rabid Wolverine" and "Toothless Aggression".

Hindsight and selective memory are REALLY easy.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) I agree, but him trying to deny being knocked out was quite funny. That was very funny indeed.

The Adam Carolla Show is back after a week off. DAMN, I missed this show!!!!! Carolla Is King!!! QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 03:30 AM) Amen. Sleep when you're dead. I LOVE sleep. Nothing feels better to me than uninterrupted sleep.......nothing.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 01:51 AM) I was actually referring to the album as a whole, but I definitely agree with your assessment of the song. Ohh, sorry, I didn't know that's what the album was called. The single is all I've heard.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 08:25 PM) Don't forget about Mae Young giving birth to a hand. Well, I was TRYING to forget that.....thanks a LOT.....

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 08:10 PM) Critic, I know you're all broken up about Vinny Mac kicking the bucket...but you've gotta be strong for all of us But....but....without Vince, who's gonna come up with storylines like the Katie Vick thing, or "May 19th", or making out with Trish Stratus in front of his catatonic wife, or suggesting that he be the father of his own daughter's baby??? How can I stay strong when a GENIUS is DEAD????? [vomit smiley] [rolleyes smiley] QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:54 PM) Nitro's the new ECW champ....i'm gonna throw things. Nitro's just holding the belt til Benoit gets back. Benoit couldn't go over Punk for the bely, not as a face, so Nitro gets temporary custody of the strap.

Maynard having the decision stolen from him was horses***. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 22, 2007 -> 08:37 PM) I'd be there. Oh, absolutely.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 07:54 PM) Nitro's the new ECW champ....i'm gonna throw things. Look, man, I don't give a s*** about wrestling matches - I just gotta know: DID THEY FIND VINCE'S "KILLER" YET??????

Sunday night "I Don't Have To Work Tonight" shufflaya: Hardcore Superstar - Last Forever Slayer - Mr. Freeze Testament - The New Order Kiss - High And Low Boston - Smokin' Metal Church - Metal Church (from the CD "Metal Church" ) Nirvana - Big Cheese Stevie Stiletto - King Of The s*** Heap The Hold Steady - Same Kooks The Generators - Operation Salvation Special "Vacation Appreciation" Bonus Track: Children Of Bodom - One On a scale of 1 to 5, I give this shuffle 4

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) I'll throw something together either tonight or tomorrow. Just stay out of the way of Krush's "cream" after you post it.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Jun 23, 2007 -> 12:37 AM) I've been going to a site called wrestlingattitude.com, they get their news from the observer and PWI. Rarely have they given out false info. I'm a Lords Of Pain guy. I find them accurate and quick with the news.
