Oh brother...... one set of rules for Tigger and another set for everybody else. What a disgrace and he doesn't have the integrity to withdraw which is what he should have done. I ANY other player on the course does that, he is DQ'd for signing an incorrect score card. Of course the no-nothings at ESPN and those with zero history of the game will babble about it being a "bad" or "unjust" rule.....seems to me that if it was good enough for everybody else in the game than it should be good enough for Tiger.
Furthermore, don't want to hear about it being adapted because of the HD tv stuff. This was nothing to do with a ball moving, he clearly broke a rule and then signed an incorrect score card. Game over.

RIP. Reid bought some workout equipt from the company I used to work for. Ric called and paid for it all. The store manager said Reid was coked up when he was in the store.....or at least heavily impaired. So sad.

Where to start..... I couldn't locate the derogatory (I assume) comment about Gordon Solie. It was a privilege to hear Gordon call a match. Best ever.....and didn't have to rely on yelling "GOOOOODDDDD LAAAAAARD !!!!!" 300 times a show....but I digress. As for Hogan/Vince/Flair, etc... I remember being very fired up to actually see a Hogan match on USA or WGN back in the day when we first got cable, yes I'm old.... I had read about Hogan in mags for years and wanted to see what it was all about. This was around the time Muraco and Snuka were fueding if I remember correctly. Hogan's entrance, as always, was great.....looks great, way-over....great music.. Eye of the Tiger.... and then the match commenced. Wow.... after watching Flair, Steamboat, Masked Superstar, Buzz Sawyer, Mr. Wrestling I and II, Wahoo, etc... to say it was a letdown would be like saying McWay was "disappointed" when Obama was re-elected. He wrestled the EXACT same match over and over and over. Some will say Flair was repetitive and of course he had signature moves, etc... but I watched Flair extensively for YEARS in various territories and he could adapt and him "taking an hour" to defeat Terry Funk (another all-time great worker) is the point. He could hold an entire arena in the palm of his hand for an hour....never knowing when or how a match would end. With Hogan there was very little doubt about the final minute of EVERY match. I know it's all individual tastes and at the age I was when the Horsemen took off, I wanted to drive the nice cars, drink the finest and have all the hot women...just like Flair. I certainly didn't want to be a bald guy who cut promo's talking about eating vitamins. Hogan was aimed at a certain demographic, young kids, and Flair was aimed at a more mature audience. I've summed it up like this before and feel it's the most accurate. Flair is Robert DeNiro and Hogan is Arnold or Stallone. I think most will understand that comparison. On April 29, 1995, in North Korea, Ric Flair wrestled Antonio Inoki in a match attended by 190,000 people. The number is believed to be the highest ever to attend a professional wrestling card. Take that VKM media-hype machine..... Whoooooooooooooooooooooo oooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

I was shocked at Larry to say the least. Another shocking thing about him was that up close his face was in the worst condition I have ever seen. I don't mean scars or general wear and tear from wrestling, but his skin was horribly pock marked and he had all these little crater like holes over his face.
About Goldberg, I don't know exactly what set it off or what the truth about that weekend was, but apparently Goldberg and his girl was out in a bar that weekend and when they were leaving this girl waved to him and he smiled and mouth something to her. (?? no idea what, but people said they were about 20 feet apart so most likely it was a "hello" thing) Anyway that girls boyfriend was this big ass Iranian guy that ran a discount supplement place in Midtown over on Amsterdam. (still the best place I ever found when I was into using supps) He wasn't happy about whatever it was or whatever he perceived it to be.
I was working out that Monday when Goldberg came in and started working out, about 25 mins later this Iranian shows up and blows past the front desk and walks up and confronts him about talking to his girl. Goldberg told him to go fuck himself and shoved him back. The guy told him never to speak to his girl again and never put his hands on him again. Goldberg then stepped forward and shot his arms out intending to shove the guy back again and that guy flicked his hands up knocking Goldbergs arms out to the side and then as Goldbergs momentum brought his body forward that snapped his head down and head butted him right in the face. Goldberg took a step backwards from the force of the blow and that dude threw a straight jab that knocked him flat on his back with his head hitting the metal leg of the calf raise machine. He lay there for a few seconds and shook it off while the front and back of his head was pouring blood and jumped up and that Iranian told him "think twice before you do something stupid" and Goldberg came forward swinging hooks which that guy blocked with his forearms and then lit into Goldberg with body punches and an uppercut that put him on his ass. It took about 20 guys to pull him off and march him out the door. As much as I liked Goldberg on tv (WCW days, not wWF) I have to admit that he got his ass handed to him then.
The Iron Sheik isn't to be messed with.  |

Saw 60 minutes last night for a few minutes. They were showing entire cities built in China that are empty. Get ready for a housing bubble burst of epic proportions.

so you were in the Fatherland yes? we have oktoberfests on a yearly basis in my hometown of Columbus Ohio, and in fact there is even a section of my city that is called German Village and there's a great German restuarant there called Schmidt's Yep, for 2+ years. Went to THE Oktoberfest twice and probably close to 50 different fests. We went every chance we had. I loved Germany. Great food, great beer and topless uber-chicks at the lake. |

I'm waiting on white history month now since Feb is over.
always nice when I am perusing the radio dial and there is one station here in Raleigh that is the "hip and r and b" station and has ads calling themselves a "black channel radio" station. Can you imagine the outrage if it was "white channel radio?" |
