QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 07:14 AM) A quick look at the states that I believe are "in play", which ones aren't, and using one of those websites that allows you to come up with an electoral count by clicking states on the map. Its purely my opinions of course - the polls to date aren't necessarily helpful, until later. Just my current guesswork. By the way, the states I consider "in play" (not definite for one party or the other) for campaigning purposes this year: NV, WA, OR, MT, ID, CO, NM, KS, NE, MN, IA, MO, MS, FL, VA, OH, MI, PA, NH, NJ. That's a lot of states that are contestable, IMO. And by the way, that list may change, depending on VP picks. If, for example, Obama picks Edwards, then NC comes into play. If he picks Richardson, then I think NM goes solid blue. I agree with all those except for OR. There's no way that goes red. NJ seems like a stretch too.

link?

Adamle is f***ing GOLD. Is that from the PPV?

Don't forget SLOAN!

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 6, 2008 -> 12:45 AM) As far as I know, he's still with TNA. I thought it was just a reference to past mistakes, especially since OVW is dead now. It was. Clearly the guy can speak, and with Vince's obsession with bigger guys - why would you give him a stuttering gimmick? It's pathetic.

QUOTE (The Critic @ May 1, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) Estrada could have been if he wasn't so criminally underutilized. Frustrating how Vince hates managers at a time when he also loves giant steroid freaks who can't form a sentence if they had a gun to their heads. Also frustrating how he'll hire any piece of ass who walks past Titan Tower, yet he won't hire any managers who might actually make his shows more interesting to watch. And give guys stuttering gimmicks after they've been down in OVW for a year working on promos.

Jonathan Coachman has signed a deal with ESPN, so he is done with WWE.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) you didn't show any ID to register to vote? same here, and I was registered in two states at once.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 09:42 AM) Let's just go ahead and all get chip implants and go on the road to hell. At least we'd all only get one vote. (Sarcasm). (BTW, I would NEVER get that, I'll die first. Not joking. But the technology exists now). I'll do it - that sounds great, and easy.

let's tailor this to current WWE goings-on. HHH deserved the belt on Sunday, did he not?

QUOTE (The Critic @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) Samoa Joe won the TNA title tonight at Lockdown. Of course, TNA killed his buzz completely through horrid booking, so at this point how much buzz does this win really generate? The match itself was terrific. MOTY Candidate for sure. Maybe the 2nd best match in 08 behind Nigel/Aries from ROH Rising Above?

good stuff that list - I usually don't post, but I also reserve the right.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Not that any of you would have, but don't see Funny Games. You probably haven't even heard of it, but it stars Tim Roth and Naomi Watts. It is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen in a theater. It almost seemed like the movie was daring me to walk out of it, which I did with only about 5 minutes left. I couldn't even stand to watch those few final minutes of absolute f***ing s***. I just had to vent. I saw the original - not sure why they remade it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 26, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Not big news, but f*** Rotoworld Bulls***. He's a University of South Dakota alum. Saying he's from NDSU is a slap in my face. It's UND or nothing for me.....

where's that quote from?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 05:37 PM) That's odd, I thought Adamle was getting paid 20 million dollars!! Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter -- Raw announcer Mike Adamle was going to start working with J2 Strategic Communications -- a media training company in Chicago -- but one day after his WWE hiring was announced, he pulled out, citing other commitments including his WWE commitments. WWE is reportedly paying Mike Adamle $300,000 per year for his weekly work on Raw (talent receive additional money for working pay-per-views). That translates to about $6,000 per show. $300,000 is close to what a high-end mid-carder makes on their downside guarantee. $300,000 is also equivalent to three or four entry level WWE contracts, or giving developmental contracts to 12 wrestlers from the indy scene. Another colossal waste of money for someone who adds absolutely nothing to any broadcast. Amazing. What a jerky thing to report. What is Meltzer's problem? Why not post everyone's salaries?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) Isnt he known for pulling stuff like this when he is over? Didnt he No-show a TNA event where he was part of the main event? I swear i remember reading that somewhere yup, he's an idiot. (although knowing tna now, maybe not.)

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:05 AM) That segment was so bad I could have sworn I heard Tony Schiavone sending it to Lee Marshall, "who is backstage with Glacier". awesome.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 26, 2008 -> 07:20 AM) Are you f***ing kidding me???? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080226/ap_en_...ling_mayweather TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS for Mayweather to appear at Wrestlemania????? What a waste of money! It's a work.

don't worry - Flair is NOT wrestling Hogan.

Guess it was supposed to be Oscar De La Hoya & Rey Mysterio vs Big Show & Mayweather, but De La Hoya's getting ready for a fight in May.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) Holy Bad Buyrates, Batman!!! from Gerweck: According to reports ROH's last PPV "Undeniable" only had 19 total buys on all of Dish Network. As previously reported the PPV only did 36 buys in the entire country of Canada which has led to them no longer being shown there. ROH is likely to stop airing PPV's once the final two have aired. What the hell???? You should be able to get 36 buys from people accidentally hitting "buy" on their remotes!!! ....maybe that's what happened, now that I think about it.... That CANNOT be right. 19 buys? 19?!!!!!!!!

Real sensitive.

where is this from - I want to email the story to some friends.
