SWEET! I love Faxanadu!

I dunno if I'll ever do anything with this data, but it's good to have.

Thanks, Seph2k4. SmackDown! comes on in 30 mins. for me, and it's now been spoiled.

I know it wasn't done on purpose, and I'm not mad. I would like to request, however, that spoiler tags be used after watching SmackDown! on Thursday, until Sunday morning. That way, those of use who are getting screwed by our cable companies can have a chance to watch it.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Cox Cable (a company that lives up to it's name like no other), used to re-run SmackDown! on Fridays at 4pm. Now they've moved it to Saturdays at midnight.

Of course, I'm not sure what pisses me off more: The fact that Cox shows it on Saturday's at midnight, or the fact that the show is taped on a TUESDAY, and isn't shown until that THURSDAY!

As for Backlash, I sure hope it's better than WM20 was. If I EVER have insomnia, it's good to know that I can just watch a tape of WM20, and I'll be bored to death within 10 mins.

OK, until 2:30am EST. Better?

And I agree with Apple. I fast-forwarded through almost every match.

I don't have a real UPN affiliate. I see UPN shows on Cox Cable 4, which is CBS.

Now, SD is currently in the middle of the Eddie/Big Show match, comercial break (and I HATE when they do that shit.). Here are the questions I have so far:

1) Isn't it great how Fifi is a different dog every single week? XD

2) Mordekai - Saw his vignett, and I have to ask: WHY does his voice sound SOOO familiar? I wonder... now that Teddy Long has Jindrak, is it his new gimmick?

Edit
One last comment: Noble tried to warn Haas... XD

Edit 2
Nope. Mordekai isn't Jindrak. Jindrak is now The Narcicist v2.0, just like Bradshaw is I.R.S. v2.0. *sigh* Why can't Vince come up with new character ideas?

Edit 3
Also, concerning Teddy Long: This is a question I've had for a long time now... how much is a Dolla' Dolla' worth? Probably less than a Canadian Dollar...

And for all who saw Teddy's Dolla' Dolla' waaay back on RAW, don't you think that Vince should sell those? I know I'D buy one!

Now then, SmackDown! is over, and that whole Big Show thing was sooo damn stupid. *sigh*

The worst part was what happened to Kurt. I mean, c'mon! The time between Big Show throwing him, and the "thump" of Kurt landing was waaaaaay too long. I was almost expecting to see another Legion of Doom thing. Thankfully, Vince got it closer to right this time...

Kurt's skull looked pretty non-caved in from landing on it, and his leg sure looked to be at a natural angle... No. I'm gonna stop right here. Just... too damn pathetic.

Well, Backlash is over now. And after checking the Backlash website, I can't say that I'm surprised by the results.

I don't know if it's a good or bad thing that I correctly predicted the winners of the matches, except for the Main Event, since I wasn't 100% sure one that one...

Personally, I think that the ONLY reason Mick came back to WWE was to push Orton.

And so RAW is over. Random thoughts:

* Every time I think that they can't POSSIBLY make the Kane character any worse, Vince proves me wrong. Every time I see Kane, I almost fall asleep. Lance Storm isn't boring, KANE is.

* I feel sorry for Tajiri. They've been giving him the shaft since he came to RAW. Kinda like they've done to Lita since her return.

* The Main Event tonight was... interesting. It was another excellent match, and I was actually surprised at the outcome.

* Vince sure is going out of his way to make sure he's popular in Canada, isn't he?

* Jerry Lawler either needs to be replaced, or be given better training in being a heel commentator. 99% of the things he says are stupid. Heck, Cole is doing a better job on SmackDown! than Lawler is doing on RAW. Of course, Cole is the face announcer now, so...

* Isn't it interesting that Cade & Jindrak were being turned into another heel tag team (which is sorely needed, since there aren't any heel tag teams on RAW), and now that they've been seperated, they're both heels on their respective shows, and how each has a manager?

* Apparently Gail Kim still hasn't learned more than the one or two moves she came to RAW with. That's the only reason I can think of that they don't let her wrestle anymore...

* Isn't it amazing the way RAW is utilizing ALL of the new talent it got from the draft lottery? A-Train and Chuck Palumbo are an AMAZING tag team!

* I have to seriously, honestly wonder what would happen to RAW's ratings if one or two shows went by without Hunter been seen or heard from?

* Speaking of Hunter, I personally think he looks better with that facial hair he has going on.

* Since Orton is the Legend Killer, and he's now a Legend himself, does this mean that he has to RKO himself?

* I think it's about time to melt the current Ric Flair down, and recycle him into a new Jericho. I mean, he didn't bleed at all tonight! Of course, that means that the current Jericho will evolve into the new HBK, while the current HBK will evolve into the new Flair. Isn't it amazing what they can do with rubber these days? They've made three complete, seperate wrestlers out of it!

* Am I the only one who would like to see a face four man stable consisting of HBK, Benoit, Jericho, and either Shelton Benjamin or Edge?

* Boy, it sure was a good thing Regal was wearing that cup, and that he stuck his hands in his pockets to make sure it was secure before Eugene fired the cannon, wasn't it? Otherwise, that might have actually hurt.

* Speaking of Eugene, I have to seriously, honestly wonder how the WWE would be if Vince respected ALL of his talent, and treated them fairly? I guess we'll never know, will we...

* SmackDown! gets Mordakai, so RAW gets that guy from Japan. I can't even remember his name, mainly because I wasn't paying attention to his vignette, since I thought it was a commercial for yet another war-themed FPS. Anyone know anything about him?

* Why can't WWE Creative make up their minds where characters are from? Jericho sure has moved quite a bit in the past couple of months.

That's all I can think of for now. All in all, I feel that it was a pretty good RAW. I hope that the trend will continue throughout the year, but I'm not counting on it...

I'm not experienced enough to know when a move is botched, unless it's blatently obvious, like the time Orton was supposed to RKO Jericho, who had... I forget who, but he had them in the Walls of Jericho. Orton went for the RKO, and slipped off Jericho, so he had to do it again. Was pretty funny. XD

That's because Vince knows that sex sells, and most males who watch wrasslin' are buying.

Personally, I think that they actually need to make a women's division. Give them a #1 Contender belt, like the IC belt used to be. Then, either give them their own set of tag belts, or better yet, open the existing ones to allow intergender tag teams. Then, you could have male-male, male-female, or female-female tag champs.

Of course, that'll probably happen about the same time as Vince figures out what to do with cruiserwieghts and luchadores.

As for Kane, I just wish he would get his push. The one he has been needing for years. Give this guy another championship run, please! Without it, he's just another big guy who didn't really make it as far as he could.
Bleh. Vince has already pushed Kane. Right off the cliff. As soon as they removed his mask, they killed the character. And I don't think they'll ever be able to fix it again. Hell, the only reason Vince made Kane was because 'Taker was so popular. Vince, in his warped mind, figuerd that if one Undertaker was soo popular, 2 of them would be 10 times as popular. Kane needs a new gimmick. And NOT his old gimmicks of Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. or The Christmas Creature. Something totally different. Something new.

Anyone know if there's some kinda php script you can use to geneatre an image showing your online status?

I'm thinking something that acts similar to the ICQ online indicator. Or is this not possible?

I was really hoping it'd be a simple script, and then I could just whip up a couple of images, upload everything, and be good to go.

I knew it wouldn't be that easy, but I could hope hope, right?

Also, since I know that you're knowledgable about .png images, is there any way to have a .png with a fully transparent background, and NOT have to reduce it to 256 colors? Paint Shop Pro forces you to reduce an image to 256 colors before you can add a transparency, regardless of the image you're working with.

I get the feeling that Mark Calloway has a clause in his contract that says he can never lsoe at WrestleMania...

The funny thing is, I could have sworn that when I was reading the little article about the history of Kane & 'Taker that WWE had on their site just before WM20, it said that 'Taker lost the Hell In A Cell match to HBK when Kane showed up & ripped off the door...

On a side note: Does anyone know where I can get a list of the real names of the current WWE roster? I've got a good bit of them, but I would like to have them all...

Since everyone else already told you about the lining up deal, I will instead tell you this:

When you go to replace Zelda's sprite, be aware that there's only 1/2 a sprite for her. The game just mirrors that 1/2 sprite to make a whole one, so make sure that the image you use for Zelda will look right when it's mirrored...

Oh, OK. No problem. Except that I don't know VB. Sucks to be me, eh?

I'm pretty much outta luck, since I don't have the knowledge needed to make something like this, but that's OK. This was more of an idle curiosity than an, "OMFG! I GOTA HAEB IT NOW!!11" thing.

Thanks for the info, though.

And so they FINALLY started teh ECW invasion angle on SmackDown!

Colleen, it's spelled Mordechai. Check his info here.

SmackDown thoughts?

Rico & Haas: Chuck & Billy v2.0
Big Show: Kane v2.0
Rene Dupree: Jericho v2.0
Booker T: HHH v2.0

Good thing that the WWE doesn't reuse plots/characters.

Let's hope that the ECW storyline goes well...

Well, it's not for my board, actually. I'm registered at Gaia Online, a phpBB. Currently, the Online/Offline status is disabled, and the list of online users is hidden unless you click a link, since there are generally over 3,000 users on at any given time (there are 5,866 online right now). I just wanted to add a link to a php file as an image (i.e. <img src=http://www.blah.com/online.php>), so that anyone who wants to talk to me, or trade with me, will know if I'm online or not.

Of course, the more I think about it right now, I realize that even with a script, I'd probably have to edit my profile to make it show the right image. And I wanted a script so that I wouldn't have to do that, since I'd probably forget to edit me to offline before I signed off the net.

Ah well.

For the .PNG files, I do include one color for the transparency that isn't used for anything else. However, as soon as I click the button to set the transpareny, it pops up a window, telling me that the image HAS to be reduced to 256 colors. I even tried PhotoShop once, and the same thing happend. Same thing happened with the few different image editors my wife has on her laptop.

The ONLY place I see ANYTHING that mentions Alpha channel is things involving something called "masks". I have NO idea what that is...

You're welcome. The guy playing Mordechai looks a LOT cooler in his promo video (well, what little we actually see of him, and not his robes) than he does in that pic.

Since you don't get SD! at all, I hope you at least read the synopsis on smackdown.wwe.com...

For those who don't know, the reason I called Booker T HHH v2.0 is because about half way through the show, he came out to the ring, and started running his mouth about how he's the best thing on SD!, the best thing to happen to SD!, how SD!'s gonna become the best show because of him, and other HHH egotistical-type ramblings.

Of course, in the middle of it all, the lights dim, a deep-toned gong rings out, and that UV filter is applied. Booker looks like, "WTF?!" and when things go back to normal, he hops the security wall, and runs off. And that should be the beginning of the 'Taker/Booker feud.

And that site is a very excellent site. It's how I knew that Rico & Haas were gonna end up tag champs before SD! was even aired on Thursday. I'm guessing that they have someone at the Tuesday tapings of SD!, and they just post the results then. I'll check how things are this Tuesday, and if I see any title changes, then we'll know...

On another topic, instead of asking people to use spoiler tags from Thursday night through Sunday morning, I'll just not read this thread during that time. It'll be easier on eevryone, since I seem to be the only one who has to wait 52 hours after the rest of the world to see SD!...
