Why not? They play them nationaly on the radio.[/size] They sellout large venues. Hell they were even at Woodstock. They are comercially succesful. You can buy thier cd's at Best Buy. They are known all over the world. What makes them not mainstream? They aren't underground.[/quote] I'm not saying it's not true, I'm just saying I live in Michigan - same state as ICP - and I've heard them on the radio exactly one time, about 10 years ago, promoting a show in Grand Rapids.[/quote]They play them on the rap station where I live in Illinois all the time.

Lol @ Ian being forgiven for being a terrible human because he pulled off one decent last minute show.....
If this lineup is legit and I didn't feel like I was going to get ripped off I would maybe think about going....maybe.....not likely though.

I never heard the part where he had abused her before. Where did that come from? She filed a report with the local police for domestic abuse in 2003, but then dropped the charges per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ah ok. Just must have missed that in all the info.

Vince has and will always see Christian as nothing more than a mid to upper mid card guy. He is and always will be under used. It's a shame because he's totally awesome. Unlike that Mike guy.

Are you kidding? It was a huge surprise that they were dead. Watch some of the shoot interviews or read recounts of the issue when they discuss it. He skipped a PPV using the excuse of his family being sick and then started sending weird text messages to Chavo who reported them to WWE. WWE are the ones who got the cops to go check in on the family in the first place. The tribute show was not in bad taste, it was just kneejerk with very little foresight considering the circumstances. He was one of the most well known guys in the entire business at that point. Ok, if WWE got the cops to check it out, that means they suspected something was wrong. I wouldn't say the show was necessarily in bad taste, but it wasn't very smart to do until they knew what really happened. It was Chavo that suspected something was wrong. The WWE was acting on his impulse.

"I'm not a nugget!" It wasn't really subtle but I liked how it got the crowd involved.
Jericho's cocky one foot pin with the flex.
When "small" faces are on the apron during a tag match and they bounce up and down. Shawn would do it as a heel too I believe when teaming with Diesel.

That is awesome. For the persone who shops at Goodwill. That's cool. I can relate to that. For the person who said the thing about hipsters wearing "vintage" wrestling shirts. Why do they do that? I didn't know that was trendy. Great, now it's time to start a new trend since you know it's trendy... But seriously, I used to wear shirts that a buddy would get me from the fflea market (I was working in the junkyard at the time and would go through them) and one was a Firefighters shirt. I kept wearing it when I was working retail and guys would be like "Hey Brother" to me all the time cause they were firefighters/ems guys from different areas. Let's start a trend of wearing firefighters shirts and calling people brother. Want to? Please say no. That's cool though and at least you knew what you were wearing.

To add to the above theory. Hawk and Davey were on heavy painkillers and we saw what happned. Then again so was Eddie and he managed to stay around for a while. He still died way too young but the same could have happened with Brian.

This just in:
Wrestlers I mean entertainers are no longer allowed to wear wrestling attire or street clothes in the ring because it reminds fans that there are other wrestling promotions besides the WWE.
The WWE also will be deleting it's entire history outside of workers currently in the company as they do not want people to know there were other wrestlers in the company at one point. This will include all past ppv's, live events, tv shows and title histories. Smackdown will now be called Rey's Playground.
All moves will be re named with each wrestler's name in front of them. Jericho armbar....and so on.
They will also be changing thier name to OOE which will be Only Organization Ever.

Morgan and The Pope aren't exactly "home grown" talent. They're former WWE rejects who got some hype around them and a push. That would be like saying Christian was was a TNA built star. That would be like saying Triple H and Steve Austin aren't home grown talent because they're former WCW rejects who got some hype around them and a push. How about Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio? Need I give more examples. Anyway, Jim Cornette, while he hates Paul Heyman, said it best. Paul Heyman could go to Taco Bell, and a few hours later, s*** out a wrestling show better then Russo ever could, if Russo had the rest of his life to think of one. If Heyman gets major control, he'll look at who he likes, who he doesn't, and go from there. He'll also probably bring in talent he may like who aren't in TNA, though they don't necessarily have to be all WWE talent. Paul Heyman is a lot of things. A liar, a cheat, bad with money, manipulative. But the one thing he isn't, is stupid. He isn't just going to use former ECW talent and run with an old ECW angle. He's gonna try and go in a different direction with the product. They weren't homegrown talent. They were already established when they came to the WWE. They may not have been main eventers but they were already known except for maybe Hunter. Jericho walked into the main event scene in the WWE and Rey had huge hype coming in. The WWE did not make them. Ausitn was already over from the Hollywood Blonds.

I had a ton of people offer to buy my bWo shirt when I was wearing it. Some were wrestling fans, but others were just guys named Steve. On a side note, though, the shirt got a thumbs-up from Matt Sharp at a Weezer concert. That's awesome. I wasn't sure if the band's knowledge of wrestling extended beyond someone's glimpse at a mid-90s Apter mag ("Watching Grunge leg drop New Jack through a press table..."). That is awesome. For the persone who shops at Goodwill. That's cool. I can relate to that. For the person who said the thing about hipsters wearing "vintage" wrestling shirts. Why do they do that? I didn't know that was trendy.

Am i the only one who liked cowboy hat savage? As for me, it took me some time to get used to christian in tights as opposed to the net shirt, and i lost interest in molly holly when she ditched the blonde hair and spandex tights for the t-shirt and short hair (actually, the heel turn was the beginning of the end, i preferred her as the sweet girl-next-door-type, not the self-righteous one). I loved Savage in the cowboy hat. That's how I always picture him to be honest.

I set my mom's kitchen on fire when I was in high school. Does that count for anything?

Shaggy 2 Dope or Violent J take your pick While they are for the most part devoid of talent, ICP really isn't what I would call mainstream Why not? They play them nationaly on the radio. They sellout large venues. Hell they were even at Woodstock. They are comercially succesful. You can buy thier cd's at Best Buy. They are known all over the world. What makes them not mainstream? They aren't underground.

Related to the case and not to the thread but remember someone updated Benoit's wikipedia before it was even officialy announced that he was indeed dead. They said they read it on a website and were hoping it wasn't true when the cops investigated them. Was it ever revealed what site that was from and who knew he was dead before it was even official that he was dead?

Going to knock out both of the above posts here.
I really hope it isn't major. Regardless of what any of us think of a performer we never want them to get a severe injury and a head injury is scary. I hope you're right that since it bled it may not be as bad.
As far as voting him off. You could be right. It would suck for him if that was the case and I think Kaval would feel terrible.
