QUOTE(Brian @ May 22, 2007 -> 08:22 PM) The only two "autobiographies" i read and did NOT like were The Rock Says and the Steve Austin book. Austin doesn't go into much detail about things, just touches on them and the Rock was in character. Hardcore Diaries was lackluster as well. I liked HBKs a lot and the first two Foley ones. Flairs was a good read as well. I'd like to read Dynamite Kids someday. I'd love to read the Randy Orton bio. "Stealing Bags...And Pooping In Them" - Randy Orton

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 22, 2007 -> 08:07 PM) What are some good tell all books? Is HBK's any good? Foley's were good. Terry Funk's "More Than Just Hardcore" was good -- odd style of writing but good. Heenan's were funny and good reads.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 22, 2007 -> 08:01 PM) All I remember is that in the middle of some matches there is the static effect and it jumps forward. Get it for as cheap as you can. It's for less than $10 on WWEShop.com currently. I am getting that, a Kennedy shirt, a Punk shirt and a Dreamer shirt. The ECW shirts for the originals are dirt cheap. And from ROH, I am going to get a Resilience shirt once a new discount starts on ROH orders and not just DVD's. I just really like the design and nobody may know it is a wrestling shirt.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 22, 2007 -> 07:30 PM) The documentary is good but the matches are edited. How much editing?

Rise and Fall of ECW DVD on sale for $10. Lots of wrestling merch for the cheap on WWEShop.com currently... w00t.

Your winner and new US champion, MVP. Ballin'! HBK in his prime was not better than Hart, Hennig, Piper, Jake Roberts, HTM, etc. HBK in his prime was a good, not great -- a good in-ring talent but he doesn't hold a candle to matches like the SummerSlam Henning/Hart bout or th WM 12 submission match. And just because the match takes place in a smaller arena, doesn't mean that the match is any less awesome. Punk v.s. Joe trilogy, etc.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2007 -> 03:25 PM) HBK is the best in the history of the bussiness. FACT Danielson > HBK. FACT.

There we go! 2-1 Sox. Nice base hits instead of swinging for the fences. Taking what we can get from Zambrano and just popping through what we can do.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 20, 2007 -> 01:50 PM) lol Soriano. Odds we make them pay? 100:1 I think the odds are getting smaller now...Still no guarantee but the odds are definitely smaller. w00t.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 20, 2007 -> 01:48 PM) Would it shock anyone if we got no hit? It would be the capper on this amazing wknd. Cancel the post-game show.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 20, 2007 -> 01:47 PM) Dye is the worst hitter in the world with 3 balls. You would be too with that lack of leg room in your pants.

Could have been a whole lot worse than it actually was. Can't believe they got just 1 run there.

I am going back to watching the Ninja Warrior marathon on G4. Whenever I turn of the Sox game, they end up scoring runs.

Aaaaaaardsma gives up the leadoff triple to Theriot. Way to go Ozzie putting in Aardsma giving up the triple! I blame Ozzie for mismanaging the pen! /green

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 19, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) I actually stole it from sundaymorningqb.com Boourns. Soxtalk.com: Finding the negative in every situation since 2002.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 19, 2007 -> 05:09 PM) Soxtalk.com: Second-guessing the split-second decisions of athletes and managers under extreme physical and mental duress since 2002 Can we truly make that the front page motto?

2B for Gooch. w00t. Go Howry.

I can't wait to see AJP's reception

Every time a kid at school says "That's gay" to something, I usually respond with "Yeah, [that locker, homework assignment, textbook reading, discussion questions on the overhead etc.] completely reminds me of two guys making out."

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 15, 2007 -> 09:27 PM) 1. As we've established here, no one on this board gives a crap what Al or Jesse say anyway. 2. What on earth does this disgusting crime have to do with them? Why should they comment? Because the killers happen to be black and the victims happen to be white? If some liberal posters here are accused of being Bush-obsessed, then you sir are Al and Jesse-obsessed. From Doug Stanhope. I wrote an update regarding the Don Imus situation but before I could post it, 33 people selflessly gave their lives in Virginia to get him off of cable news. God bless them all. The relevent points of the update were... Imus didn't come across as racist to me so much as old white guy trying to sound young and hip by knowing the street lingo. Like your Grandpa talking about you smoking "mary jane" or your Mom saying something is "grody to the max". Either way, who gives a f***? If a man that old and obviously addled-of-mind spent his whole show every day attacking me directly and specifically, I'd give it as much mind as if it came from an elderly dementia patient in a long-term nursing facility. Who cares? Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, that's who. The civil rights movement is very much like Mother's Against Drunk Drivers. Started out as a legitimate cause only to have the Mad Mother's and MLK's driven out and replaced by blind capitalists scouring the fine print for another reason to stick their greed 'n' power loving fingers in someone elses feedhole. Bottom line is that Imus was calling those chicks ugly. There were two basketball teams playing that night. If it were about race, he would have mentioned them both - unless the other team was all white. That kinda basketball hasn't been around since Naismith chucked a dead cat in a peach bucket in the 1800's. Imus called them ugly and thankfully for them he included something that could be maligned into the race card. You'd much rather have national press exposure for being a victim of racism than to be on the front page for being called dog-dick ugly. Ugly is something you carry alone. There's no Al Sharpton self-appointed spokesman for the ugly because ugly isn't a minority. The only racism I saw was Imus apologizing to Al Sharpton rather than to the specific people he insulted, as though if you insult one black person you can simply apologize to any neighborhood franchised negro and it will get where it needs to go.

QUOTE(Brian @ May 15, 2007 -> 07:56 PM) Sabu is horrible in the ring anyway. To say he botches a few moves as of late is like saying that Stalin might have just purged a couple Russians. Sabu is gone. RVD is likely going...Jeez.

QUOTE(The Critic @ May 15, 2007 -> 06:05 PM) Here's the first look at the new TNA World Title belt: http://www.tnawrestling.com/news/fullnews2.php?all=1246 Eh. Could have been worse, could have been a lot better. It kind of reminds me of one of the old AWA title belts - not the super-size one Nick Bockwinkel wore, but the one Verne Gagne wore before that one, and they revived when Curt Hennig was champ. Kind of non-descript. God, JB is such a terrible color man. And how can the TNA belt be a world title if it hasn't been defended outside of the US (or f***ing Orlando for that matter)? And June 9 ROH show...Claudio gets to pick a partner (from winning the right to the tag title shot) and he chose Chris Hero for his partner. So June 9 has Briscoes v.s. KoW. And I am off to go watch the Windy City Death Match from FYF: Chicago between Colt Cabana and Jimmy Jacobs...and also the Reborn Stage Two show from 2004.

QUOTE(Purdue129 @ May 14, 2007 -> 08:54 PM) Dude, my post is in regards to Hartford on Friday and has nothing to do with the PPV. And also, a lot aren't avoiding spoilers for the ROH PPV. But for wrestling fans, I give you the Eddie Kingston vs Chris Hero match from CZW Out With the Old, In With the New show. What a powerful feud between the two that culminated in this match. Part 1: dailymotion.com/crashcover/video/3217022 Part 2: dailymotion.com/crashcover/video/3217025 Enjoy. And oh yeah, Aries is serving a 90 day suspension and supposedly really wants out of his TNA contract so he can go work more for ROH.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ May 11, 2007 -> 11:11 PM) SPOILERZ~! I have yet to watch the show. I put that Edge story as a choice in my test today. It was hilarious to watch kids take the test, sit there studiously and then briefly get all incredulous at the "The Northerners were upset that Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank to beat the Undertaker for the WWE Championship. Go Edge!" choice.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 10, 2007 -> 07:20 AM) It is truly an awful finishing move. Batista never completes the move and always ends up splayed out falling backwards Correct. His version is lame ass. A correct version is one such as the Ricola Bomb from Claudio Castagnoli.
