Thats nice to know but its too bad its only a one time thing. PPV buyrates will go back down now with lackluster (compared to WMXX) PPV's.

Rock on Jericho. He is one of the new (alongside John Cena) that has actual talent in the studio. But i guess WWE couldnt release a WWE Originals CD-Single of just those two......

Ive said it before and il say it again. Steve Austin (Williams) is a stupid redneck with no self control and always will be.

I cant wait. Always good to see old ECW and WCW stuff. I also cant wait for WWE 24/7. Just wish McMahon would re-release some WCW PPV's on DVD.....he'd make a fortune.

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering: did he give her a stunner? Before the beating, did he give flip her off first? Who threw him beers after he was done?

I think you are only considering the locally announced box office takes for his movies.  ScorpionKing alone.. netted him a 5 Million dollar paycheck.. then 5 million in initial residuals.. and that's not including money he made from the DVD sales of the movie. Scorpion King likely netted him 15 mill alone to date.

Jazz originally passed herself off as a male wrestler in her early days.. so it isn't surprising..

Jesse would be a breath of fresh air to the political landscape.

As for Austin.. isn't that what most people love about him? smile.gif

The ECW set shouod be nice.. the Monday night wars was pretty well balanced.. and if they take the same tone.. the ECW set should be a winner.  Timing for it couldn't be better either..

Imagine sex in his house.. when the deed is done.. he runs to the corner post of his 4 post bed.. gives the finger to the broad.. then a little guy throws him some beers.

I never said he wouldnt. Id vote for him and he did a great job as MN Governor. Im just aying that he's an independent and independents have a hard time getting in the white house. Although now that Ventura has Donald Trump backing him he could have a chance. Who knows. Maybe Ventura could be president in 2008 and have TRump as VP and have Trump go to G.W. or John Kerry and say "Your Fired".
