FLOWERY BRANCH – Now, that I finally know how to use my DVR, I think it's the greatest invention since the electric football set.
Here's a DVR alert for the folks who'll be at the stadium tailgating.
Despite having the best record in the league, the national media has been slow to shine their bright lights on the Atlanta Falcons.
That will change a little bit on Sunday when quarterback Matt Ryan will be featured on ESPN'S Sunday NFL Countdown show during the "Soundtracks" feature. The show airs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The feature will have sound from Ryan, who's thrown 18 touchdowns passes and just five interceptions, in the huddle and on the sideline.

Ryan is becoming one of the elite QBs in the NFL as a result of his intelligence, coolness under pressure and ability to rally the team in the fourth quarter. 18-1@ home. GO FALCONS!
November 26th, 2010
7:40 am
I know their record speaks for itself but I would prefer them off the national radar.
November 26th, 2010

I expect this to be recordings of one of the more intellectual, coherent and knowledgeable players in the game. 'Bout time ESPN recognized a winner in the ATL for a change. Thanks for the heads up DOL. I'll be tuned in, too.

Sunday's game will be, by far, the biggest of the season. The Cowgirls did us No favor yesterday with Roy's All-goat fumble. Greenbay is real contender for the NFC, and all of the talking heads are picking them. Matty will seperate himself from Aaron "the fudge Packer" with the win. GO FALCONS

I wish there was a channel that had no commentators-just live sound; as if you were standing on the sideline. Looking forward to watching the Ryan piece. ATL 34 GB 24.

@Dean I heard the NFL Network was doing a game like that this weekend
November 26th, 2010
10:58 am
The no-commentator concept was done as an experiment a few years ago. I don't remember the details. Apparently, it didn't go over real big.
November 26th, 2010
11:00 am
NEW YORK (Aug. 11, 2004) — In one of its most ambitious projects to date, NFL Network will take a pro football telecast (Denver Broncos vs. Buffalo Bills on Aug. 15) and turn it into an event featuring no announcers — instead relying solely on the audio captured on the field, sidelines and locker room.
NFL Network will put wireless microphones on 16 players and coaches — the most ever in one NFL game — during the Broncos/Bills preseason game Aug. 15 and air an announcer-free, one-hour program titled Special Edition Game of the Week: Sounds of the Game at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 22 exclusively on NFL Network.
"NFL Network is committed to innovative programming that brings our game closer to the fans," NFL vice president of programming Charles Coplin said. "Some of these ideas may be extended to our other broadcast partners in the future."
Instead of letting announcers guide the flow of the game, the story and drama will emanates from the heart of the contest: the players and coaches who will be equipped with tiny microphones.
Twelve players, the two head coaches and two coordinators will be wired for the game.
"Wiring 12 players in one game and airing the contents a week later is a feat that has never been attempted in NFL history," said Bill Graff, executive in charge of studio and remote production at NFL Films. "We will use 10 cameras to shoot this game and believe this program will bring fans inside NFL action like never before and will forever change the way they view pro football."
Among the participants wearing wires will be quarterback Jake Plummer as well as Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan and Bills head coach Mike Mularkey in his coaching debut. Additional players wired will be decided as the game approaches.
There is a precedent for airing an NFL game without the use of broadcasters. On Dec. 20, 1980, NBC aired the New York Jets at the Miami Dolphins. The Jets were 3-12 entering the game and the Dolphins were 8-7. (Jets won 24-17). Since the game had no playoff implications, NBC decided to let the sounds from the stands and the PA announcer serve as the sole audio. No players were miked. Dick Enberg set the scene for viewers at the beginning of each quarter and then viewers were taken to the stadium.
Though the NBC game was first to air without announcers, NFL Network's version will be the first to air featuring sounds captured from the players and coaches only — something that was not part of the 1980 Jets-Dolphins contest.
Special Edition Game of the Week: Sounds of the Game is an extension of one of NFL Network's most successful and critically acclaimed programs from last season.

11:19 am
thanks falconJim, but actually the first announcer-less game was back in the late 70's-early 80's regular season game featuring the Jets at the Dolphins. A game won on a last second fg by uwe von shamman(spelling?). it was a late season saturday NBC telecast. that preseason game just what it was a preseason game. one that didnt count, or mattered, with so many players being used that never made the team.
oh yeah, you want to defend Clay Matthews, and his blitzes? Throw at Gonzales, right at Matthews and his starting point. that will fix him for sure.

With the Internet media cycle, who really is the "national" media? And as an Atlantan who has been living in Asia for 5 years, and keeping up through the Web, I don't really see any bias or lack of attention towards the Falcons. Globalization has opened things up, folks. Don't act so small-time and worry about what the folks in NY do or don't do. It's a bigger world out there than you think, and Atlanta is a very well-known city.

Matt Ryan is becoming more and more like Manning and Brady as he gets more and more experience. He runs the no huddle so well and has proven time and time again that he can make that tough throw in a clutch situation to win a game. As for Sunday to hear ESPN tell it you`d think that the Packers were the only team playing in this game. Prediction: Falcons 28 Packers 21
November 26th, 2010
12:48 pm
@ Dean
The networks actually at one point thought that having no commentators would also be good. I mean, no one at the stadium has commentators….right?
SO they did *one* game that way in the (i think) late 60s or early 70s. They received so many complaints, the next week the commentators were back.
This week you get Thom Brenneman and Brian Billick.
I bet when you tune into Matt Ryan being mic'd up, you'll find a strong leader directing that offense.
November 26th, 2010
12:48 pm
I suspect we haven't seen the best of Matt Ryan yet.
November 26th, 2010
12:54 pm
@ Dr Warren
When I go to foxsports.com, espn.com, CNNSI.com and NONE of these pages have a single story about the team with the best record in the NFC on the front page, but 2 about the 2-9 Cowboys….and 3 about the 2-9 Vikings….that is being ignored by the national media.
What it tells me is that to the 'national media' there are only a few teams they want to talk about and they are going to talk about them come hell or high water. If youre in KC or ATL or JAX and your team is leading their division or their conference, you must be a flash in the pan and they dont care about you.
I want to see the Falcons go to the playoffs for a few years, win some playoff games, and see how long it takes for this to change.
November 26th, 2010
1:01 pm
Well…if Matt keeps up the current pace @ (.700) then we will have a lot of attention here soon.
November 26th, 2010

RYAN IS THE BEST DON'T COMPARE HIM to da CHOKE ARTIST PEYTON WHO ALWAYS GETS A PASS……….
November 26th, 2010
2:41 pm
In the last few weeks my confidence has grown in Ryan. When the season started, I felt that the Falcons could not win consistently without a running game. Latley I see Matt Ryan directing the offense better. Last season he seemed hesitant to pass downfield. Now we are taking a shot or two every game. If he continues to improve, then this team can be very good for a while. And that feels good to say…

1. Did the "national media" pick Atlanta to be 8-2 after ten games? 11-2 last 12 regular season games? If they said that we were the best team since the '72 Dolphins, would that make it true?
The best team is decided the first weekend in February and until then nothing else matters. Quit all of the "boot licking" it's demeaning. They don't have to give the Falcons scat, the record speaks for itself!
November 26th, 2010

DOL, I thought you were going to stop blundering idiots like Turner is a Douchebag. They're only here to spray meangless crap without any reason. I agree with This Gets Old! Who cares what ESPN or anyone else says. Our performance will speak for itself, good or bad. Falcon Jim, all of us fans are in the same boat and I have eliminated "wait until next year" from my vocabulary. Now is the time and now is the place, bring it on!
November 26th, 2010

JBFALCON…………right on! I am patient through all seasons. They can turn either way. But we are at the point, now.

College football is amusing, but how much longer until the big boys play? Can't wait to beat the Packers, so we can focus on shutting the Bucs up in their own house. Seriously, screw those guys.
November 26th, 2010

As lucky as you got with Rue Paul.

Forget the national media. When the Falcons win on Sunday the headlines will still read "Green Bay screws up".
Atlanta never wins, it's always the other guys that lose. But who cares? The road to Dallas goes through the NFC south this year.

This will be a wild game played well most of the time interspersed with dynamic turnovers. There will be interceptions in this game–several. Fortunately, most will be in favor of the Falcons.
Falcons win, but Chris Collinsworth will again pick against them next week and the week after. Of course, consider the source–he's a Bengal which says it all.
November 27th, 2010

Chris Collinsworth is the worst.

It will be my intention in this essay to demonstrate that Śankara-Vedānta should be addressed primarily as theology and not as philosophy. At the very least, such reference to Śankara-Vedānta as philosophy is misleading if left unqualified--and sometimes unjustified even when qualified. I am convinced that Śankara-Vedānta can be more accurately described as theology for mainly two reasons: Śankara's starting point is revelation (śruti) and his primary concern is of a soteriological nature, viz., the desire for liberation (mumuksutvam). These two essential characteristics of Śankara's thinking doubtlessly put some distance between his method and primary concern and those of modern, Western philosophy. I have specifically delimited the philosophical aspect of this distinction to the modern, Western era for reasons of clarity. Even by doing this, we can not come to an agreement on what is one, modern, Western philosophy, but rather only isolate some mainstream elements. However, I do think it feasible to maintain that--on the grounds of so important a set of distinctions as the respective starting points and primary concerns--we can point to differences between philosophy and theology and thereby clarify our understanding of Śankara-Vedānta.

Much like the defensive line, this group of Cowboys linebackers had their share of medical issues that cost them playing time during the season. You have to give Matt Eberflus a great deal of credit for the way he was able to hold this group together.
As the season wore on, it was never a group that appeared settled in their personnel with various players in and out of the lineup and young players having to fill in at spots that they had never played before. With all that being said, it was also a position that was wildly inconsistent in their play.
If there was a mystery of the season at linebacker, it had to be the play of
Carter in two seasons showed a rare ability to chase the ball, then finish the play with power. Despite ending up with more than 100 tackles for the season, it just appeared that those plays were few and far between. No matter who you talked to in the front office, coaching staff or even his own teammates, there were plenty of dumbfounded looks when asked what happened to Carter during the season.
Some believed that learning the new scheme affected his ability to just go and make plays. There was too much thinking and it took away his ability to just go be a football player. Whatever the case might be, if this defense is going to be successful, there needs to be a solution on how to fix Bruce Carter -- he is just too talented a player to be this inconsistent.
With all the shuffling of the linebackers, two players stepped up their games to the point that it has to give the front office and coaching staff some hope going forward.
Wilber was really a man without a position when the scheme change went from a 3-4 to 4-3. Holloman played as a strong safety in college and was projected to play on the outside once he was drafted, but in camp, he did show some ability to play as the middle linebacker in the nickel.
What I expect will happen with Holloman and Wilber is that going into camp, they will battle for the starting spot at Sam linebacker, with Lee and Carter starting at the other two spots. We could also see Holloman stay at the Mike, with Wilber competing with Justin Durant, who I thought did a nice job in the opportunities that he had as a starter.
Of the linebackers that played special teams,
There are too many young players and with the potential of adding one or two more names from the draft or college free agency, there really isn't a spot for Sims, who did not play as well as he needed to take a roster spot away from someone else.
Going into the 2014 season, this staff needs to figure out who will be starting at Sam linebacker, and with good candidates there, it should be an interesting battle. The biggest question might be what will it take to get Bruce Carter back on track? We have seen him be a difference maker before and whatever he or this staff needs to do to get him once again playing at a high level, needs to be done now, rather than later.

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion: Review & Recommend Wrestlers/Matches/Shows
, I watched every minute of those clips. I enjoyed watching it very much. The match shouldn't have been a scientific affair as it was a personal issue that had to be FOUGHT inside the hellacious steel cage. I want to see brawling and goodness knows Lawler can throw some of the best punches in wrestling. Idol did give him some stiff shots himself, though. I agree with you on the Memphis crowd being roped in by this battle and by the end it did look like they were going to attack Idol, Rich, and Dangerously!

I read about it in Eddie's book before he passed away and he wrote that it was his favorite match of all time, and that it was so special atmosphere wise because the hostile ECW crowd was known to give the wrestlers heat and throw things at them if they knew a wrestler was leaving the cult/company and word got out that both of them were leaving for WCW. Besides the fact of them leaving, they got a standing ovation. Was it really "that good". If you're busy I totally understand but yeah, would love your thoughts on that match, hopefully without telling me the result cause i plan on seeing it for the first time.
Thank you. I do plan on reviewing that match in the future and I recommend all of their matches in ECW and WCW to be viewed at least once.

Oh, can you imagine the alliances he would form with Dusty, Magnum, and the Rock n' Roll Express to oppose the Horsemen? The tag team battles would create so much heat they'd set the entire territory on fire! Flair vs. Lawler in a more extensive program, on a bigger stage, feuding for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship will forever be a dream. Thinking about heel Lawler vs. Steamboat just kills me. Lawler in JCP/WCW indeed would have been amazing.
EDIT - speaking of
Lawler and the Horsemen:

Everything about this wrestling match is awesome as you would expect from these two greats. The chain and counter-wrestling on the mat is so smooth and the transitions are seemingly effortless.
I love how they have a series of slaps to the face because it came off from Flair's perspective "Would you just quit already! I'M THE MAN!" From Steamboat's perspective it is "I won't be intimidated, I'm coming at you none-stop full speed!" That's really the core of Flair vs. Steamboat in all those years and spectacular minutes inside the ring.
The match is close to 40 minutes long (there are commercial breaks of course), the pace is never slow. Every sequence and hold had meaning towards the ultra-simplistic finish. What is so brilliant about this simple finish is while it may seem 'out of nowhere' on first watch, it really ties the entire story of this match together and that is whichever man caught the right move at the right time would win the match.
It doesn't matter if Flair's a conniving heel and Steamboat's a face, by the end of the match both men remain equals no matter the winner. And you knew the next time they faced each other you still wouldn't know which way the tide would turn on the Flair/Steamboat ride. Flair/Steamboat wrestling chemistry is incomparable. If you love their 1989 trilogy then you
see this match.

Clique...I fucking love this section. It gives me a chance to go back in time and view what the product was once like. I don't compare what we see now to what we saw back then, it's two entirely separate deals.
K1ng of K1ngs...love seeing those matches on Youtube. Personally, I'd say the 2nd match which took place at the Clash of Champions was the best, although they will never admit that in Vince's organization as it happened on the same day as Wrestlemania V.

I love the internet. Being able to go back and re-assess wrestlers with a different perspective is a great thing. I tell you what, I've really learned to appreciate guys like King Kong Bundy, who I slept on completely when I was a lot younger. Nick Bockwinkel is a big one too. I just completely slept on those guys.
But more than that, guys that I know are great, I can see a bigger selection of their work. Jumbo, Destroyer, Backlund, Terry Funk, etc.
Some guys are still pretty rough for me to find though. Rikidozan, Lou Thesz, Buddy Rogers, Strangler...
And it's always fun to watch guys back in their prime, like Lawler or André.
It's just not the same when I see all of that and watch all of that then turn on TV to hear Michael Cole announcing John Cena.

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion: Review & Recommend Wrestlers/Matches/Shows
DVD Review
The best description for one of the most popular factions in wrestling history is not said any better than on the back cover of this special DVD. It reads: "Crotch-chopping, brash, obnoxious, naked, rule-breaking, icon, showstopper, muscular, beautiful, blood-covered, pyro blasts, main events, obscenity-laced, declaring war, pissing everyone off, DX-rated home movies, legend killers, sweet chin music."
That is what DX was all about in a nutshell of adjectives. In this one-disc DVD we get a raw look at this crazy group of guys and girl as they left a memorable mark to say the least on the business. WWE says the film is unrated and uncensored which probably was in 1998 when it was originally released on VHS but my copy is the 2006 re-mastered version and is obviously edited. Still we get the message – X-Pac & Road Dogg likes to get high and the gestures and innuendos from the group are still clear.
Poor Michael Cole, he was one of the first victims of the DX hazing back in 1997. Triple H even bullies Cole into telling the history of the group throughout the program. Cole also mentions he isn't the only commentator to get the DX treatment. DX was all about spitting in the face of authority or anyone really whether is was the WWF Commissioner Slaughter or Jim Ross.
Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Chyna and Rick Rude were the founding members of the original DX and they pushed the envelope like no other during the Attitude Era. Steve Austin was the hottest thing going during the time but you can bet DX were the second hottest thing and that is a very impressive position to be in.
With DX, RAW had more of a party like atmosphere where a wrestling fan could express their selves fully because the members of DX surely did. DX said a lot of controversial things in their promos and often broke kayfabe disrespecting the old tradition in the business. But that's what the time called for – to be rebellious and the group worked very successfully during the shift in power between WWE and WCW.
The next two chapters covered are
Triple H was a part of the clique and always wanted to work with Shawn Michaels so the opportunity was available when their feuds intertwined with one another for them to make it happen. Chyna the bodyguard of Triple H had that intimidating presence and no non-sense persona that complimented HHH and Shawn's craziness. Rude served the same purpose as well. I have to give Triple H credit, he took the ball and ran with a new DX when Shawn got injured and the great gained even more popularity in 1998.
Warning D-X rated
What DX said and did in their segments was so racy and they're lucky they didn't get thrown off the air. The show was more adult oriented and I guess with the ratings they were getting there wasn't any problem. The girls in the audience that would flash for DX also added to that freedom of expression I talked about earlier and anything goes when the Degenerates enter the building.
These guys were like freakin rock stars and the DX Band would come out on occasion to sing them to the ring. We get a lot of footage backed by rock music of DX telling everyone to "Suck It!" Very cool video montage of DX just raising hell!
Shawn would come to the ring in *stuffed* skin-tight biker shorts and give some of the most wild, profanity laced rants on the wrestlers and the crowd that you'd ever want to here. Then sometimes HBK had no problems showing his ass off to world-wide television. The Heart Break Kid would hump a floor or two in his day also. But Shawn was the epitome of Attitude onscreen and in real life.
So much press came from Tyson's association with DX and their feud with Steve Austin on the Road to WrestleMania 14. Much like Shawn Michaels, Mike Tyson is a degenerate himself and it was cool seeing such a big celebrity and sports figure take part in wrestling. I know WCW did something similar with Dennis Rodman but the tension between Tyson and Austin was bigger than anyone could have imagine.
In their primes they were arguably one of the greatest tag teams of all time. They had been disrespecting wrestlers and crotch-chopping before they even got with the group. Their attitudes just made for the perfect fit. I will never forget the night they put Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie in a dumpster and threw them off the stage! "Oh you didn't know?"
I would say this is a significant moment in RAW history and could have been for WCW Nitro as well if Bischoff would have let them into the building. Could you imagine if DX would have appeared on Nitro what that would have done for their show? The ratings might have taken another shift back to WCW if it would have happened. But instead Bischoff locked the doors and the hilarious segment only played on WWE television where the highest ratings would stay until the end of the Monday Night Wars. DX took the fight to WCW and they backed down plain and simple.
Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind
This match is important because it is the birth of D-X. At the beginning of RAW, Michaels left everyone speculating on who would be his "Insurance Policy."
The chemistry between The Heart Break Kid and Mankind is just impeccable. The fact they are able to cut a non-stop, aggressive pace with a lot of stiff bumps is incredible. This match is just a taste of what we got in their classic at Mind Games a year earlier which still means this is awesome to watch.
Some of the best bumps are Mankind taking a backdrop onto announce table followed Shawn delivering an elbow drop off the ring apron! When Mankind got the upper hand on HBK, Triple H and Chyna who had been feuding with Mankind/Cactus Jack/Dude Love for months came to ringside.
Once Mankind applied the Mandible Claw on Shawn, RICK RUDE made his way down the ramp! The ravishing one is the "Insurance Policy!" Mankind gets his head bashed in by Rude with a steel chair and Shawn gives him Sweet Chin Music for the victory.
A new era is born. Shawn Michaels and Triple H would officially call themselves Degeneration-X a week later.
Shawn Michaels and Triple H vs. Mankind and The Undertaker
Shawn is so funny with his gyrating dances to the ring! But when Undertaker entered the building, all the dancing stopped. Jim Ross emphatically stated two times that "Undertaker is STILL THE MAN." And I'm not going to argue with good old JR.
A lot of heat between these four men as Shawn cost Taker the title at SummerSlam and the extensive history between Helmsley and Mankind still has bad blood.
This is a hot tag team match that I wished lasted longer because the double team heel work from Shawn and Hunter is spot on. They give Mankind an excellent high-low clothesline/knee clip and hold him on their side of the ring for most of the match.
Once Taker finally gets tag in asses start getting kicked left, right, up and out of the ring! Rude makes another appearance which causes a distraction for Mankind and Taker. Shawn just says to hell with the match and dents a chair over Taker's head which busts him wide open!
Taker being the monster that he is just sits up. Shawn decides to give him another shot to the head and Taker sits up again! D-X gets the fuck out of there after that. As I said, the match is very good but would like to have been longer best the action is top-notch as would be expected with these four superstars.
Triple H vs. Bret "Hitman" Hart
This feud between D-X and Hart Foundation was so intense and you could tell the personal animosity each group had for the other which was all real. It was also awesome that both factions were heels, except for The Harts in Canada.
Triple H got some very good offense on the WWE Champion. Hunter actually matched very well the Hitman. Hart being the ring general that he is steered this ship for most of the contest working over Hunter's leg with intentions to set him up for the Sharpshooter.
Shawn Michaels came to the ring telling everyone to 'Suck It' and then he disrespectfully proceeded to stick the Canadian flag up his nose and hang himself from it. I bet millions in Canada wanted to hang HBK in their own special way after seeing this.
Bret eventually has the match won with Sharpshooter but a brawl between Owen, Jim and Rude breaks out. Bret gets punched by Chyna and then Sweet Chin Music by Shawn on the outside. Hart is counted out and HHH has defeated the WWF Champion!
"This is what I think of Bret and his fans."
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
European Championship Match
Michaels and HHH may have never owned any harder than in this EPIC match for the European gold. People actually thought a championship could come in between these two buddies, hah!
The epicness of this contest can only be reviewed play-by-play style (sorry to those who don't like play-by-play reviews).
Michaels starts off stretching on the ring ropes to get warmed up. Not to be one-upped, Helmsley follows with a stretch on the ropes himself. What psychology shown in the first few moments in this main event.
Jim Cornette notes that he thinks HHH will win because Chyna is closer to him. But Chyna shows no bias or B.S. as she gives advice to both HBK and HHH.
Then they LOCK UP and Michaels immediately GOES DOWN! Triple H runs across the ring, bouncing off the ropes several times over Shawn's prone body.
The finish sees Triple H give Shawn an ULTIMATE SPLASH for the 1 … 2 … 3! We have a NEW European Champion!!! What a match.
Both men are spent and very emotional. LOL at Cornette saying, "Shawn sure knows how to cry on cue. He cries every time he comes to this city." And JR saying, "He's lost his smile again!"
Commissioner Slaughter comes to the stage and gets some crotch chop taunts. D-X gets the best of the established authority yet again!
Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart
WWE Championship Match
This is only the second one-on-one match these two had in 1997. The first happened in late October on Raw for the Intercontinental and European Championships. Now the WWE Championship is on the line and it is more personal considering what happened with Bret at Survivor Series.
I like the start of the match with Owen jumping on Shawn before the bell even rings. Shawn then must suffer from a hard suplex on the steel ramp.
Owen and Shawn also have great chemistry together and you can bet their matches aren't going to be slow anytime. It's just non-stop action and Shawn tries to put Owen away with a Piledriver and then a DDT.
Owen looked to have the match won with a Sharpshooter but an injured Triple H at ringside hit him with a crutch for the disqualification. Michaels was such an ultimate heel at this time and this was just another level of heat gained by one of the best ever. This match closes out a legendary 1997.
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker
Casket Match for the WWE Championship
Royal Rumble 1/18/98
The Heartbreak Kid and The Phenom are my two very favorite wrestlers of all time and it seems every time they have faced on PPV the match has been a memorable occasion and this encounter is no different.
This is certainly the greatest Casket Match of all time with HBK and Taker actually making this fight to put the other man's body in a box. The best spot is the jumping Tombstone from the ring apron into the casket!
The New Age Outlaws and Savio Vega and his crew jumped Taker similar to what happened to the Deadman in his Casket Match with Yokozuna years earlier. But Kane came out and cleaned house.
The program stops there and we don't get to see the part where Kane swerves us and puts Taker in the casket and sets it on fire.
Triple H, The New Age Outlaws and Savio Vega vs.
Steve Austin, Owen Hart, Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie
Anything Goes 8-Man Tag Team Match
No Way Out 2/15/98
Weapons and brawling make this unsanctioned match one hell of a fight from the get go. The crowd literally erupted when Austin entered the building. Cactus gets wrapped in barbed wire, multiple chair shots to the head are taken and Chainsaw Charlie is one crazy motherfunker!
After about 10 minutes of brawling they decide to have a tag team match and that's when Charlie is isolated and beaten badly. The Outlaws Powerbomb him through two chairs which Charlie sells like he fell off a building.
He then gets dropped on his head from the ring apron straight to the floor with no protect whatsoever. After all the hardcore brutality is place on the hardcore tag team, they finally make somewhat of a comeback. Just enough to get the hot and I do mean hot tag to Austin.
Stone Cold whips everybody's ass and finishes the match with a Stunner in quick, lethal fashion like a Rattlesnake. After the match Chyna taunts Austin until he Stunners her ass too!
Triple H vs. Owen Hart
European Championship Match
Match isn't long or really a full match at all since Owen had an ankle injury. Triple H bullied "The King of Harts" into this impromptu championship match two weeks before their scheduled match at WrestleMania 14.
Owen pummels Triple H outside of the ring until the ref gets distracted and Chyna hits Owen's injured ankle with a baseball bat. Triple H takes advantage with a version of an ankle lock and the ref stops the match. Triple H wins the title and more heat for DX!
So that's the DVD. It is outrageous and contains loads of fun. If you want to get a good laugh and cool look at DX check it out.
Or maybe it's
(You know, the DVD)

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion: Review & Recommend Wrestlers/Matches/Shows
What took place at WCW's annual Fall Brawl was an event the wrestling world thought would never happen. For the better part of 10 years, Double A and the Nature Boy were as close as brothers, part of the most vicious gang in wrestling history and they had conquered the world together. Now, they would face each other in the ring. We talk about the matches we'd never thought we'd see (Rock vs. Hogan, Lesnar vs. Goldberg, etc). In 1995, Ric Flair vs. Arn Anderson was one that no one would have ever predicted would take place.
Flair and Anderson had tried to help Vader beat Hulk Hogan to regain the WCW World title. Eventually, it led to Vader turning on Arn and Ric and becoming face. On August 6, 1995, Vader defeated Anderson and Flair in a handicap match at Clash of the Champions from Daytona Beach, Florida. After the match, Flair blamed Double A for the loss and the two men started squabbling. Over the course of the next few weeks, Arn talked about how Flair's obsession with destroying Hogan had made him lose focus. Meanwhile, Flair said he'd be able to teach Arn a wrestling lesson.
Soon, the match would be set for Fall Brawl on September 17, 1995 in Asheville, North Carolina. However, shortly before the event, Double A was set to face Hacksaw Jim Duggan on WCW Pro in a taped fist match. In typical Horsemen fashion, Flair jumped Arn before the match, which never happened as the two men brawled all the way to the back.
Double A's promo right before the match shows why he is one of the most underrated on the mic, as well as one of the most underrated wrestlers of all-time.
This match has everything...ring psychology, drama, tension, just everything that makes a great match. You see it on the face of the combatants, as they have that feeling in the pit of their stomach that they don't want to face their best friend but think they have no choice. I thought what was a nice touch was showing some of the wrestlers at the time, like Eddie Guerrero, Alex Wright, and Brian Pillman (Flyin' Brian had something to say about the match as the night goes on) sitting at ringside watching. The fans also were fully invested in this battle, since both wrestlers got mixed reactions as you could tell the audience truly didn't know who to fully get behind. Overall, I give the match 5 out of 5 stars.
I won't give away the ending, I'll let whoever wants to watch see for themselves why it was a solid encounter.

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion: Review & Recommend Wrestlers/Matches/Shows
Great write-up BruiserKC! I enjoyed watching that feud transpired and how it eventually led to them eventually getting back together and forming a brand new Four Horsemen.
Here's MORE Flair!
Nature Boy Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham
NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Battle of the Belts II (February 14, 1986)
The match-up between Ric Flair and Barry Windham is a perfect example of a classic showdown between an 80s style heel and baby-face. Its a natural story of flamboyance and arrogance along with high success facing the humility and fight of a real good guy. Windham is white meat baby face yet he still has that slight edge about him that makes him cool. Its probably due to his Texas/cowboy roots but this man has a presence about him that indirectly or not makes you want to cheer for him.
He has great chemistry, timing and poise that connect to the audience so well. Like that fighting stance he does while challenging Flair to come fight him. Windham doesnt need to pose to the crowd because he already has them going with his big punches to the head of Flair in unison with their cheers. It feels like the crowd is vicariously fighting Flair through Windham and this young challenger is fully focused on winning the gold.
Flair will use every trick in the book to retain his gold. Flair probably does respect his opponents which is why he shook Windhams hand at the start of the match, which also shows the pride of competing in a NWA World Title Match. However, Flair will still cheat and play dirty any opportunity he can get because he loves being champion more. This is a brilliant way of showing the various motivations his character possesses.
The ropes were Flairs best friend the entire match it seemed
all the way up to the finish
. Flair is the master at holding the ropes to gain leverage over an opponent be it in pinning combinations or in submission holds. Its a play Ive never seen fail for him that draws tons of heat. After a great catch-as-catch can, chain style start both men took it to the mat where we see Flair channel his amateur skills and wrestle Windham on the mat. Flair is simply a brilliant wrestler on the mat no question about it. I love how he turns pure wrestling yet again into something dirty by grabbing the ropes in an attempt to pin the challenger.
One of my favorite moments is when Flair turned a botch into yet another intricate part of the clash in personality and his willingness to do anything to win. So Flair gets his head and neck caught in the ropes and he sells it right at that moment yelling in agony and holding his neck as he lies in the corner. We then see Windham in an act of being a fair competitor allow Flair to get up but Flair deceives him and takes him down instead!
This in turn leads to Flair dominating and busting Windham open building the heat of the match as Barry looks like a warrior in peril fighting to make his strong comeback. Also, great job on Gordon Solies part in describing the potentially lethal effects a move as simple as the sleeper hold could have. Mike Graham is not so bad himself on commentary either putting both men over as true athletes of the sport of professional wrestling.
Windham eventually made his comeback busting Flair opening too and then its back and forth to the end from there. The finish is excellent and maybe the best way to end the broad way of the evening.
I probably hold this match and their match in January 1987 on the same mantle. Windham is one of the best opponents Flair has ever had. The chemistry Flair has with him is almost as good as with Steamboat and that says a lot about the super talented Barry Windham.

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion: Review & Recommend Wrestlers/Matches/Shows
"The Shooter" Dean Malenko vs. Eddie Guerrero
2 out of 3 Falls Match
Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero earned notoriety in the United States as singles performers their series of matches together that absolutely tore the house down at the ECW Arena for about half a year. As a result, WCW acquired their talents.
It was the norm when a talent would receive a contract with one of the big companies the fans would angrily shout at the talent, "You sold out!" However, Malenko and Guerrero received a reaction that was more like a love fest as oppose to contempt at their departure because the ECW appreciated this special breed of talent. Showered with "Please don't go" chants from the ECW faithful Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero (visibility consumed with emotion) entered the ECW Arena for the final time to perform.
During this period in mainstream wrestling, these two exceptionally talented wrestlers presented wrestling styles not popular in the States. Malenko and Guerrero presented professional wrestling to this audience the way they mastered it in Japan and Mexico. A style of wrestling that featured fast paced, mat based submission wrestling mixed with hard-hitting, high flying moves applied with precise execution that built the intensity of the performance and the excitement of the audience minute by minute. The intensity of the emotion in that room was just incredible.
RESPECT - HONOR - ADMIRATION: Three elements this unforgettable farewell match entails. Malenko and Guerrero earned the respect of the ECW fans based on their ability to take wrestling to the extreme without picking up a weapon or shedding a drop of blood. These two 2nd generation wrestlers battled for months over the ECW World Television Championship and raised their level of competitiveness with each encounter. Both men badly want to defeat the other and hate has nothing to do with this extended rivalry. This is not a grudge match but a match about PRIDE and bringing the focus back to
So many great wrestlers got their 1st opportunities to shine on American television in ECW, wrestlers that initially may not have had that same opportunity anywhere else. Paul Heyman afforded guys like Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Taz, and others the time to showcase their talents and attention to gain that notoriety to open the door for bigger opportunities.
Dean is one of the best technical wrestlers ever and here he executes every hold with first-rate precision. Eddie is a natural in that ring with his smooth pacing of transitions and delivery of beautifully swift moves such as a springboard arm drag or an impaling tornado DDT; immaculate delivery here from both competitors. Eddie and Dean have unadulterated chemistry with each other. Eddie has said in his autobiography, "Once you know that you've got the wrestling chemistry down, you can add to it, intensify it with more drama, more emotion." I also love how their contrast in characters compliments so well together. Malenko is so technically sound and is this cold as ice grappler – "The Shooter." Eddie is full of fire and he displays that with the energy he brings to the match and in the fluidity of his explosive holds.
Eddie believed if the chemistry was right, two wrestlers can go out and tear the house down. When you have performers this good and know each other as well as Eddie and Dean did, they can work a frenetic, breakneck pace and know which direction they want to take the match almost instinctively. That is the kind of chemistry both men have said to have had with each other.
They did an impressive job with the structure of the match and the falls I thought. I enjoyed watching the counter wrestling holds and the submission transitions performed on the mat. The implementations of payback spots embellished the story of their competitive rivalry. If Guerrero hit Malenko with a Brainbuster, Malenko would hit him with one once he got the advantage back. If Malenko stomped on Guerrero's face then Guerrero would answer with twisting the sole of his boot in the face of Malenko. Both men looked like formidable in the entire contest and with each fall. I liked how Eddie gained his fall through craftiness and Dean gained his on becoming more assertive when he saw that he was in risk of losing.
Finishing stretch is exactly what you would expect from these two featuring various pin attempts at an extremely high rate. The segment is very common (and a bit clichéd) in wrestling today, especially in the independent wrestling scene, but here it is fresh and the performers built towards it so well so that the finale could reach its climatic potential. They wrestled for over 20 minutes but it never felt that long. I actually would have like to have seen them go longer but I must say it is a great feeling to be amazed by a performance and left lingering for more …
Eddie and Dean wanted to leave a lasting memory for the ECW faithful and they certainly accomplished that with this superb wrestling showdown – a "Malenko/Guerrero classic." The adulation from the fans, the ECW locker room, and Paul Heyman is a respectable moment in wrestling that is simply unforgettable. What a moment seeing Dean Malenko speak for the first time and share words with Eddie in this expressive farewell.

Re: Classic Wrestling General Discussion & Review Thread
This next one holds a special place in my heart as my favorite match of all-time. I was about 16 years old at the time and it was when I really started to analyze the details of what makes a great match.
Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon - Wrestlemania X - Ladder Match for the IC Title
I had seen ladder matches prior to this contest, having grown up watching Stampede Wrestling, but nothing I had ever seen in the world of professional wrestling could have prepared me for this. These two took a mediocre gimmick match and turned it into a combination ballet/spectacle/bar brawl.
The build and character work leading up to the match was new and innovative as 'the Bad Guy' had become a full-fledged babyface based solely off of Hall's incredible charisma. Since he first kicked Jannetty through the Barbershop window I had (and continue to) hated the prissy, preening prima donna in HBK, that said, there's not much I enjoy more than watching him get the living tar kicked out of him. I was stoked for this match and 'my guy' was the hero for once.
Holy shit. Before there was ever a 'holy shit' chant.
It changed everything. Spot after spot without giving up an inch in storytelling, matches would never be the same again, this was the new gold standard. I hate when interviews make like Scott didn't play his part ("HBK and a ladder") because despite being limited in-ring, Hall was a great hand who understood the cardinal rule that 'it's not what you do, but when/how/why you do it'. Michaels fans can always look back at this one as his break-out work. Both men deserve a tonne of credit for making history.
I've heard sentiment that the match doesn't hold up, but it's still my favorite and I watch it every couple years. While other ladder matches have come along and expanded on the work created that day, there will always be a 'first' and a wonderful sense of nostalgia that accompanies it.
I love professional-wrestling.
"One thing I found out through my experiences in life is that if I don't like something, usually it's me who has to change." - Eddie Guerrero

PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a teenager has been arrested in Canada for allegedly threatening Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his family for the second time.
Sheriff's officials say the 16-year-old boy was taken into custody Tuesday night by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta.
The teen's name wasn't immediately released.
Canadian investigators questioned the teen in July after he allegedly threatened to bomb Arpaio's house and "murder you and your whole family."
Sheriff's officials say another threat was received Sunday in which the juvenile claimed to be in Phoenix and allegedly planning to burn down Arpaio's home.
According to MCSO, his threat read:
Greetings, Sheri Joe. It's been a while since I last emailed you. I really hate you. I hate you so much that I've decided enough is enough. You deliberately ruin peoples lives, and embarrass the inmates that you confine. Tonight however, it is you that will be confined... for life. I am stationed at an undisclosed location in Phoenix. Within the next 5 hours I am going to open fire and destroy you, your house, your "security deputies" and your ugly as hell wife. Still think I'm a "lowlife who doesn't have the guts to confront you?" I'm not scared of you, the RCMP or your pathetic Special Response Team. You will never be heard from again. Your body will simply "vanish."I highly advise you to take this threat seriously and stop me. Your life depends on it. I will continue this until I am put in jail. But that will never happen. Heh Heh.
The 81-year-old Arpaio is serving his sixth consecutive term as sheriff of Arizona's most populous county.
America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff is known for jailing inmates in tents and making prisoners wear pink underwear.

text: April 10, 12:10 a.m.: Police were called to a midnight mess on Elm Street when passersby reported a brawl in progress in a front yard. Responding officers found no fight, but a gaggle of grownups in animated alcohol fueled pursuit of a house cat that had sensibly sneaked outside to escape the party animals. The only bloodshed occurred when a guest sliced his hand on the sharp lid of the cat food tin that he was using as cat bait. He opted for a towel rather than an aid car to stop the blood, but accepted the addition of infraction to injury when police recovered the marihuana stash in his pocket. The amiable group then retreated to their party cage, leaving cats and neighbors to their peace and quiet.

I dearly love the original movie version, but it's a classic mainly because I was 9 when I first saw it and it blew my tender little mind. So, unlike most cases, I think this could benefit from a smart remake and I would trust Levine to make good. That said, I sure wish the DLC was at least slightly visible on the horizon (especially since I paid for it already). Oh well, it's like the old song, "Anticipation".

Located in the north-eastern part of the country of Denmark is the nation's capital city, Copenhagen. A Copenhagen holiday is a great choice for those travellers who enjoy the Great Outdoors as well as being able to take in some tradition and culture of another country. A Copenhagen holiday rental apartment will offer spectacular views of the vibrant city as well as coming equipped with all of the mod-cons you would expect to see in a first-rate hotel.
A Copenhagen holiday is bursting at the seams with things for visitors to do and see. In terms of outdoor activities, visitors can indulge in pursuits such as swimming, walking, cycling, sailing, fishing, roller-blading, tennis, clay pigeon shooting and golf. The city also has a number of parks and museums for travellers to visit including The National Museum and The National Gallery. There is even a large theme park located in the centre of the city - Tivoli Gardens - that must be seen and definitely enjoyed.
If you feel like venturing out of the city for the day then it is recommended that you close up your Copenhagen holiday rental apartment and take the 21 mile journey west to the city of Roskilde. Roskilde is an ancient city that dates back to the time of the Vikings and as a result visitors will love the Viking Ship Museum in the city. The museum has a collection of five well-preserved Viking ships that were excavated in the nearby Roskilde Fjord. The museum also details the different methods and materials the Vikings used to build their ships. Also worth a look whilst visiting the city is Roskilde Cathedral which was built in the 12th and 13th century. The cathedral was built in a beautiful Gothic style and was the only cathedral to be built in the Zealand area until the 20th century.
On top of being able to appreciate a fantastic Copenhagen holiday rental apartment you can expect to enjoy some fabulous weather whilst on your trip. The hottest months of the year to have a Copenhagen holiday are generally July and August when the temperature during the day can reach a pleasant 20°C. The winter months of January and February see the daytime temperature drop to anywhere between -2° and 2°C. The annual rainfall amount for the city is 24 inches.
Travel to Copenhagen, Denmark Travellers on a Copenhagen holiday are likely to start their trip by arriving at Copenhagen Airport (CPH) which is situated in the outskirts of the city. Air operators that have regular, cheap flights to the capital include BMI, easyJet, SAS Scandinavian Air Systems and British Airways. Passengers can leave the UK from various major airports including Stansted (STN), Newcastle(NCL), Manchester (MAN), Edinburgh (EDI) and Gatwick (LGW).

When the Washington Capitals came to Philadelphia on Tuesday night, many wondered which Flyers team would take the ice against them. Would it be the team that sprinted through the first half of the season, winning convincingly much of the time? Or would it be the lethargic team that had frequent lapses in competitiveness and struggled to put together a complete effort?
The Flyers answered the question in a resounding manner.
Despite losing 5-4 in a shootout, the team dominated play for much of the game and reminded everyone that they have the ability to march to the Stanley Cup.
Early in the second period, Washington looked like they would run away and hide from the Flyers when defenseman Dennis Wideman beat goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to make the score 3-0. Head coach Peter Laviolette replaced Bobrovsky with veteran Brian Boucher, and the Flyers took over the game.
With two goals in the remainder of the second stanza, the team not only got back on their feet, but they pushed Washington on the heels of theirs. First, Kris Versteeg scored on a deflection off of a Capitals defenseman's skate. And with time winding down in the period, Andreas Nodl found Claude Giroux with a beautiful slap-pass that the all star one-timed past a motionless Michal Neuvirth.
"Offensively, I think it was one of our best games moving the puck," Giroux stated afterwards. "We just played faster than we used to. We knew this game was going to be a test for us so it's great that guys showed up and were ready to go."
In the third, the offense continued to click when Giroux forced a Washington turnover in the offensive zone and found Nodl for the game-tying goal. Nodl, who was benched recently continued to respond with one of his best efforts on the season notching a goal and an assist in his second game since being inserted back in the lineup.
With the score knotted at 3-3, the Flyers found a way to take the lead with their fourth unanswered goal. This time, Daniel Briere deflected the puck behind Neuvirth, and in doing so, tallied his 100th goal since joining the Flyers organization.
"I really liked the effort that we put in. Even at 3-0, it would have been easy to pack it in and just say the night is over, but we kept coming," Briere explained. "It was fun to see the character. I think we learned that last year. You never quit. "
Although the Flyers found a way to push the score to their advantage, Marcus Johannson tied the game with a short-side shot that beat Boucher. After the two teams played five minutes of overtime, Alexander Semin that scored the game-winning shootout goal to give the Caps the victory.
Despite the loss, the Flyers were satisfied with gaining a point, and even more satisfied with the way they had played. With time ticking down on the regular season, many wondered if it were possible for the team to find their groove the way they had earlier this year.
With the tremendous effort put forth on Tuesday night, the team showed that they are capable of playing some of the best hockey that the NHL has to offer.
"I thought we played great today," Laviolette stated in his postgame press conference. "This was one of our best games in a long time. It's unfortunate that we couldn't get the two points out of it but sometimes that happens. The guys should feel really good about the way they played today."
There's no doubt that the Flyers felt good about the way they played on Tuesday. There may be even less doubt that the rest of the Eastern Conference felt the opposite.

Héctor Lavoe
Héctor Lavoe is argued by some to be the king of salsa music. We would agree to that one :). A great among greats, this great artist's life was marked by a tragic destiny. Héctor Lavoe's interest in music began in his native Puerto Rico. In search of new opportunities, he traveled to New York with a suitcase full of dreams and the firm goal of landing a job in the music world. Mr. Lavoe worked alongside many influential musicians in his time like Willie Colón, Celia Cruz, Cheo Feliciano y mas.
This month Fania, the most important Latin label of all time, is re-releasing two of Lavoe's live collections that really should not be missed. Read the full piece here on Fania.

Customer Reviews
I own an older model of this box, which is slightly smaller and is much more "adjustable" on the inside. (My boxes are at least 12 years old.) Frankly, I prefer making my own decisions on where to put the dividers, which the old box allowed. The new box is too "pre-set," although I have managed to use it anyway.
This tackle box is large enough to handle all my fishing gear plus more. Nice box, and top quality.

Item # EXP000N
This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Headlights in stock than that.
Exposure Diablo Mk5 Light $0.00
1100 lumens of light, a hair over 100g, and it's self-contained. Heavy bragging rights there, for Exposure's Diablo Mk5 Light and reasons for competitive 24hr racers and KOM terrorists alike to consider this torch.
If you've ever snagged a power cord and had a singletrack tunnel go dark or would never consider spoiling a beautiful frame by running cables all over it, then you know the appeal of cable-free lights. The Diablo Mk5's 3100mAh Lithium-ion battery is enclosed within aerospace grade, exquisitely CNC'd aluminum body. That extensive machining, however, isn't just to look cool. It's actually designed to help heat transfer -- to physically cool the light. Packing three Cree XPG white LED's, the Diablo Mk4 can generate some heat. One way it's managed is through the weather-tight body, the other way it's managed is with Exposure's patented Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM).
If the internal temperature gets too high, ITM kicks in and automatically drops the power level down to the next lowest setting. It will remain at the lower setting until the temperature inside the housing returns within normal operating range. This, and the weatherproof housing, ensures the light's battery and LED bulbs are safe from moisture, muck, and heat for a long life span.
A defining feature found here on the Diablo Mk5 is Exposure's Smart Port Technology Plus. Essentially, it's a cylindrical plug on the back of the lamp unit that allows you to insert the smart charger. But, it also enables you to plug in accessories like a red LED taillight and back-up batteries, or to even charge other USB-powered devices. It will automatically recognize each accessory and configure the system to take a charge or power accessory lights. Best of all, a remote switch is available for quick light control.
A new feature found on the Diablo Mk5 is Exposure's Optimum Mode Selector. OMS offers eight pre-programmed settings to provide the optimal lighting for ride conditions. After all, the requirements needed for a high-paced trail ride are quite different than 24hr race, or a week of commuting -- and OMS lets you tune the light for any of those conditions.
For example; in the first OMS setting, the Diablo Mk5 will push 1100 Lumens for 1hr in high, medium gets you 3hrs at 540 Lumens, and low nets 280 Lumens at 6 hours -- great for standard trail riding or commuting. Now, let's say you're going on a moonlit epic, something along the lines of six hours pedaling in the dark. You're not going to need full power to light the road or trail because you're not alerting cars or traveling at race-pace.
For that situation you can select the third OMS mode where the Race Mk5 will kick out a sufficient 540 Lumens for 3hrs in high, 210 Lumens for 10hrs in medium, and 100 Lumens for 24hrs. That'd be plenty of light to safely cut through the darkness and make it back to camp.
The OMS modes are selected using the power button located on the back of the unit. The new info display resides under a clear silicone covering with 3 color mode LED's that double as the OMS display indicator and a fuel gauge. The Diablo Mk5 mounts to your handlebar via a small, but sturdy mount.
The Exposure Diablo Mk5 has a two year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm a big fan of the Diablo. I've primarily used it as a helmet mounted light for mountain night rides paired with a larger lumen bar mounted light. The helmet mount is easy to set up and adjust the beam direction while wearing the helmet. It's very light weight, and is nice not having a cable going to a battery in my pack. Exposure offer a "piggy back" battery that can extend the use time.
The lights function is very easy to use, a double tap on the rear button turns the light on, one push cycles through the different brightness levels, and then holding the button turns the light off. The lowest light setting provides more than enough light for me when climbing or riding flat sections of trail, and I bump up to the brightest for descents. My night ride are typically 1-2 hours, and I have yet to have the battery run out on a ride. It's also very handy to use as a normal flashlight around the house.
