I thought they all sucked.

Ohhh, ok, that's what I THOUGHT was going on.

Some of this 'cyber-humor' flies right over my head.

For all you wrestling fans out there...here is what is probably the most infamous and controversial match in the history of professional wrestling. A match that pitted two of the greatest professional wrestlers in pro wrestling history against each other. A match that would change the face of pro wrestling forever. A match that would later be dubbed..."The Montreal Screw-Job."

Survivor Series '97: WWF Championship: Bret "Hitman" Hart (c) vs. Shawn Michaels

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

XD, are you trying to alienate Canadians from this website for life?

Yeah, the Montreal Screw-Job, 10 years ago this November. So significant in how the power dynamics of the Monday Night Wars between WWF and WCW were changing. With Hart leaving to WCW, the heelish Shawn Michaels taking the WWF title and using the real-life heat against him to good use as the leader of the very hot stable D-Generation X(which would set up for Stone Cold Steve Austin winning the belt at Wrestlemania).

Yet maybe the most important unintended side-effect of the Montreal Screwjob is that Vince McMahon was no longer the company owner who was seen on TV as simply an announcer. "Mr. McMahon" was despised by the emerging "smark" wrestling fans for his hand in screwing Bret Hart, and would become the ultimate baddie in the WWF, a schtick he still plays a decade later.

Thanks for posting XD.

Ronnie's Rasslin Video Round-Up #10: Piper's Pit - Special Guest "Rowdy" Roddy Piper

"Piper's Pit" was a classic and legendary weekly promo-set for "Rowdy" Roddy Piper where his masterful promo-skills became more entertaining at times than the matches themselves.

Well, Piper gets to interview the "greatest wrestler" of all-time....himself!

Watch...and be amazed (or frightened.)

The kid is actually playing "Unreal Tournament" (there's a correct translation of the video elsewhere on YouTube), but I find the Mario translation far more entertaining.

I just needed to see 30 seconds of that to figure out that kid is part of the Hitler Youth.

The sad thing is, we actually argue over who has the best calculator in Stats...I could see some people in that class or the Cal BC class making a video like this.

Gi, that was great!! I actually saw that online today when I was looking for something else, and I thought, what an odd title!!

I love it when you post stuff like that Gina.

Especially the teacher...uhm...err...I know lot's about Math.

Ronnie's Rasslin Video Round-Up #10: Haltime Heat - The Rock vs. Mankind: Empty Arena Match - January 31, 1999

At the height of WWF's popularity on Television and in pop culture of the "Attitude Era," a WWF Title match was booked during Haltime of Super Bowl XXXIII between a hot program-feud of the time: the charismatic athletic WWF champion The Rock and the lovable brawling "glorified stuntman" Mick Foley in his Mankind persona, but with a special gimmick...

An Empty Arena Match! No Disqualifications, Falls Count Anywhere...with Vince McMahon going back to his old job of play-by-play announcer for the match(back in his heelish of days)

This stunt worked, and 20 million people switched over from the Super Bowl on FOX over to USA during Halftime.

Ronnie's Rasslin Video Round-Up #11: Hulk Hogan vs Paul Wright(aka The Big Show/The Giant) - Memphis,TN - April 27, 2007

Some of the wrestling fan community at BB.Net probably have heard about this whole little squabble.

Basically, Jerry "The King" Lawler with his Memphis wrestling promotion had booked a main event bout between him and Hulk Hogan that would have been fun. Two icons that save for 2 inconclusive fights back in the 70s, never paired off.

The problem was that Hogan is in a current feud with Vince McMahon and basically ordered all the booked-WWE stars off the show...including Lawler, who probably feared getting fired from his announcing job and screwing his Memphis show of future WWE star appearances.

A damn pity, since as Snake can tell you, Lawler is to Memphis like Flair and Dusty Rhodes were to the Carolinas and Georgia: An icon.

Anyway, with Lawler squeezed out, Paul Wright was filled in as his substitution(since he is buddies with Hogan, who got him into the wrestling business) and its a decent fun match. Very far away from a wrestling clinic, but hell I guess its refreshing for a cool mini-event on the local level instead of always John Cena retaining the WWE belt, right?

Cinderella-Heartbreak Station
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3aZ3p1m1ow
Rolling Stone said that Cinderella was the last of the great hair-bands and indeed they were. Less than 2 yrs after this album was released, Nirvana would unleash Nevermind and of course the music world would never be the same. My friends always said that Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Stone Temple Pilots, etc, were "our bands" b/c they changed the world while we were teenagers. But I gotta tell ya, they were never my bands. While everyone else was doing the "grunge," I was rocking to the old classic ballads like this one. I don't know if it's the song in itself that makes me sad or if I'm saddened by the fact that this was one of the last of the great rock-ballads. Either way, I have to think that bands like Cinderella saw the impending Seattle storm that would soon sweep away music as we had known it. Thus, when Tom Keifer says... 'she took the last train out of my heart'... I can't help but think that "she" is the LADY of ROCK!!! Save this song to your hard drives, boys and girls, b/c you will NEVER hear sounds like this again!

"Sometimes I think of those days...sometimes I just hide away."

Mark me down as a Styx fan, Ice.

And thanks for the Cinderella video, too! You wouldn't believe how many people out there have never heard of this great metal band.

On a more comedic note:

Bohemian Rhapsody - 25 Most Annoying Voices (annoying voices isn't entirely accurate, but it makes it a bit funnier.)

Do you remember the Pepsi Godfather ad ?

Yeah I remember that. I wonder whatever happened to that little girl. I remember she used to piss me off with something similar before the movie started in the theaters. It was funny the first couple of times I saw it, but by #15 I was ready to shoot her!

I figured you were a Styx fan b/c of the keyboard. I was actually very close to saying something like "I'm sure XD will enjoy the Styx" but I didn't want you to think I was stalking you(cuz I'm not). I changed the video of Blue Collar Man to one that has a SWEET-arse keyboard intro.

And don't ever get me started on Cinderella and Tom Keifer! Absolutely one of my favorite front-men ever. You would never think that he could duplicate that loud screech of his while live, but he does. At the risk of losing every girl on the BB to Tom forever, I posted four LIVE clips of the band and another of their signature hits. I think these videos should help spread the Cinderella gospel quite nicely.

You see the SNL version from 1992? John quit the band moments before going on stage, then had to be talked back into the band so they could perform. So, he decides to go back on stage, but intentionally changes the intro to make it sound bad. He ended up leaving the band for six years later that year, while on a Japanese tour.

You can catch that here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tm_j4_JmREo&mode=related&search=

And you can see the other performance the band did in the same episode, of Stone Cold Bush, HERE which is just full of bad tension... And Anthony accidentally knocks John in the eye with a microphone, which is fucking hilarious

Wow, they all look so young.

You read the comments? They're all "ZOMG John SUX, hes so out of tune" Then they start bashing Anthony, but really, I think he did a decent job trying to work with Johns playing.

Yeah. John was only 21. Flea, Chad, and Anthony were all 29.



Yeah, I personally think that it's a pretty good performance. John is such a good guitarist, he can't even play hard when he tries. I just see it as the purest guitar playing he could have done at that time, emotionally speaking. So, it just happens he was angered by the bands mainstream success, clinically depressed, and addicted to heroin. Even when he starts screaming and yelling his vocal part out of tune, I know he was trying to ruin the climax of the song, but I think it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard because it's so raw and beautiful.

And I didn't even question Anthony's singing until I read the comments. John was playing different chords than he usually does, and the chords and vocals are supposed to harmonize in Under the Bridge. So, if John plays something else, of course Anthony will sound off. I've heard Anthony sing far more out of key when John was playing in the same key as the rest of the band.

Yeah, I think its a decent performance as well. I took the wrong quote, methinks. There was one (or several) that was actually slamming his guitarwork and saying he was out of tune and such. He wasn't out of tune as much as he was playing a different version of the tune. I think. I dunno.
