Maybe someone should stick with Thomas. Geez.

QUOTE(orangekrush88 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) WOW, Final Resolution was one of the best shows in a long time. I am also apart of the TNA message board and it seems if you just read the results, it does sound not very good. However if you ordered it, it was an excellent show. The Ultimate X was unbelievable and our first Match of the year candidate. All the other matches were good, except for the horrible Raven/Watts feud, they are daintily mistreating Raven. Also one match that was just awesome was the AMW/Team Canada. This card just blew the WWE pay per views out of the water. Once again TNA puts on a better pay per view than the WWE. Now definitely for 2 straight months, arguably 3 months TNA has put on a better show. Also I do watch ROH and WWE. Here is my take on the companies. WWE and TNA are in one class and ROH is in another class. ROH is an indy so I really don't like to compare the three at all. ROH is very solid and has some excellent action. IT is very worth checking out. Now when it comes to WWE and TNA. WWE definitely has the advantage just because more people now about them. However when it comes to wrestling, TNA has them by far. I am not saying WWE doesn't have some of the world's great wrestlers, what I am saying is some of the storylines ruin the WWE. I will be the first to tell you tonight Y2J vs Benoit is going to excellent but WWE just won't or can't put on a solid pay per view. TNA now has put on 3 good to excellent pay per views. Final Resolution and Turning Point now have blown anything the WWE has put on, besides WMXX, out of the water. Also another post said ROH is coming to Chicago Ridge. This is true they are coming on Feb 26 and it is the last show of their 3rd anniversary week. If you work for TNA, I understand you being a homer for their product, and that is cool, but TNA is gimic wrestling. Most of the matches I have seen are all high spots, little ring psychology, and no selling. The 6 sided ring is an awful idea as well. WWE seems to work 11 months to hype up WrestleMania's the last few years. I'm an old school fan so love the Royal Rumble and old fashioned Survivor Series matches. WWE could get rid of the monthly PPVs and just keep Rumble, Mania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series and make 2 more and have em every 2 months. Would mean more. The Smackdown PPVs are brutal, may as well ditch the roster split before HBK retires, cuz I wanna see an Angle vs. HBK match.

Typical Crawford, throwing up horrible shots. Bulls up 2 with 1 min left in 3Q.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 17, 2005 -> 04:20 AM) Just got back a couple hours ago from being there all 3 days, I had a great time. I think there were a couple of you I recognized like aboz, jason, and steff but for some reason I didn't say hi to anyone, I don't know why. I prolly saw you to 2k5 just don't recall seeing a picture of you so I don't know what you look like. Anyways like I said I had a blast, I think it's safe to say the seminars were completely different this year compared to last year as far as attitude. It was pretty funny when steff went up to make a comment to Kenny and he said "aren't you the one who yelled at me last year," it looked like you got kind of embarrased steff, lol. Hope everyone else had a good time too. You missed the massacre at Warren High!

First roomate at SIU snored worse than anyone I have heard. Like pigs being slaughtered all night. After a few weeks, I HAD to move. I tried earplugs and everything. You can't imagine!

Spartans look like their football team, choking a lead at the end of a game, a la the Big House! Sorry Steve!

Mark Buehrle will get the nod on Opening Day over Freddy Garcia, manager Ozzie Guillen said yesterday. The Indians have plenty of time to plan for what they'll be facing on April 4. Guillen also indicated he'd use a lineup of: LF Scott Podsednik, SS Juan Uribe, RF Jermaine Dye, 1B Paul Konerko, DH Carl Everett, CF Aaron Rowand, 3B Joe Crede and 2B Willie Harris. If Frank Thomas is healthy, he'd likely bat third and Dye would be dropped to the fifth spot. Jan. 16 - 2:26 pm et Source: Chicago Tribune The report neglects where AJ will be batting. Dye isn't the best choice for #3, but not a bad one either I suppose.

QUOTE(orangekrush88 @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 05:27 PM) Orton is one of the most overated wrestlers in a long time. The WWE made one of the biggest mistakes in a while by hotshotting the HHH/Orton angle, there is no erason why that should have happened right after Summerslam. Now it barely has enough steam to even make it to Wrestlemaina. And as for TNA not being up to par with the WWE, if you watched the WWE's pay per view last week, order tonight then tell me they aren't up to par. Orton does good promos and sells with the best of him. Just cuz he doesn't do outlandish moves and no selling like most TNA runts, doesn't make him overrated.

Wow, SIU was down 2 and hit a 3 pointer with 1 sec left to knock off SMS at the SIU Arena. Internet feed was choppy but there seems there was a fight and a few players ejected.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 02:21 AM) Steff is famous. I should of asked for her autograph. Don't let her read this. She will want you to come massage her, fan her, and feed her grapes.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Jan 16, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) This shows the Illini will probably be beat more than once in the Big Ten this year. Feb 8.

Wonderfully officiated game. Very fair so far! Who the hell is this Pargo guy throwing up shots like he is Kobe?

Michigan squeaks past Penn State AT Penn State, 65-62. Probably not very pretty. Salukis host SMS tonight.

Wake Forest up 10 over UNC. Big game every day in the ACC, it seems. Sorry to sound like Vitale. Indy putting Purdue away. Up 5 with 1 min left.

Replay shows this game should be over, yet refs see different? I don't get it! I'm indifferent but these officials should be punished if Indy ends up losing. Horrible foul call on Purdue and at the end of 1st OT.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:32 PM) Stevenson comes to Warren tonight, only to get their booties handed to em....I hope! Warren 52 Stevenson 45 Warren did not have one of their starters who was at a football camp. Mitchell Moore is a junior and being recruited by Iowa for football as a RB.

SMart move by Burke. He knows not too many teams will sign a 33 year old minor league catcher, no matter what he hit last year.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) Will anybody be bringing their laptop to give the rest of us up-to-the-second feedback? ESPN 1000 is broadcasting LIVE from there at 7pm, I believe.

Or maybe they will just be promoting Soxfest and talking about the offseason.

Stevenson comes to Warren tonight, only to get their booties handed to em....I hope!

Hinirch has been shooting lights out for the past week or so. 41-29 in the 2nd quarter. Timeout 76ers!

Michigan knocked off Northwestern 71-61 at Crisler Arena. Horton dropped 24.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 10, 2005 -> 02:54 AM) I've matched half my point total from last year with 3. Eclipsed my rebound total with 1. My aluma mater, Warren Township High School, plays at there holiday tourney. Finished 4th this year. Warren knocked off Zion Benton by about 12 on Sat AT Zion. Believe they are 12-2 now.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Houston gets involved after losing out on Beltran, unless Boras burned that bridge.
