An unauthorized-by-WWE Smoky Mountain documentary might be fun.

I've always wondered why Trevor Murdoch didn't get more over. Maybe it's kind of the same effect.

Fat Spanish Waiter: Best in the World.

But when "in my spare time" is still better than 99 percent of the population could do, the other 1 percent need to shut the hell up and not nitpick something someone does for free to get a chuckle out of some guys on an Internet message board. That's why there's really no need to say it - anyone who would criticize your work, given the circumstances, is an asshat and best ignored anyway.

Dood, I don't recall having been in a deathmatch with you, but I guess I must have ... On another note, let me try to christen Grand Theft Auto Online Rules: Rule 1: You never drive worse than you do when you have another player in the car.

RussoRiffic: The "Best" of Vince Russo. WWE can put this one out after it buys the TNA catalog sometime in December.

I appreciate the infusion of cash from the GTA folks, but I was looking forward to the pride of paying for my apartment out of the cash I'd earned placing seventh in races.

Del Rio may be a great wrestler, but he strikes me as pretty much charisma-free. He's gotten a pretty consistent upper-midcard push from the WWE for a long while now when he should be wrestling Ziggler on the PPV preshow. Maybe he'd do better with a good manager to do the serious talking for him while he does the ass-kicking in the ring and backs up the weasel manager.

Nah. It helps if you A) want to chat and be social while you're playing, or want to go hardcore squad-ness on the team missions ("INCOMING CHOPPER TO THE SOUTH!") etc, but it's definitely not a requirement. I got all excited and ran out and bought a $20 headset and it turns out NO ONE uses a headset. I could see where it could occasionally come in handy to communicate with other people on missions.

Is that even 1,000 in an 8,000-seat arena? Not good at all.

Love how Mackey's solution for everything is to write poems. Maybe we could get the president and congress to do that. Butters the Human Beatbox was tremendous.

You call that "crude"? That's 1,000 better than my pitiful attempts at Photoshopping (or, more accurately, GIMPing). Bravo, sir!

The first thing you'd have to do is blow it up and start over completely fresh.

John Cena has three. The Big Show and CM Punk travel by bus, too, don't they? It should be easy enough to do over the course of a week - fly into the first city on Friday (I think?), then bus to the next cities Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, then fly home.

I just did a mission with RUkered, where he (I assume) did ABSOLUTELY everything and I did nothing but get killed and get swarmed on by the cops. It was sad - I wanted to put on at least a show of competency. It was one of those car-repossession deals, and I hate it when the car's moving around. I've never seen a car look as beaten as that one was by the time he was done with it. I think it was missing the hood and both doors. I would say the game should divide the money depending on who does the work, but I would've gotten absolutely zero for that one. Fun stuff.

This week's episode was freakin' amazing. You can't say it was exactly topical, but it was still amazing. Just so many fun little touches, like everyone in Cartman's dream talking like Cartman. Fantastic stuff.

I got into a great groove last night with two other people - we just kept racing different races. I'd finish third most of the time, but I'd still pick up money and experience points. I think I jumped six levels over the course of the night. We played a survival mode, which is less fun, 'cause I'd get killed 10 seconds in and have to watch everyone else play for what seemed like hours, make it to the next wave, get killed 10 seconds in and have to watch again for hours, etc.

Was the Grand Wizard Craig Sager's uncle?

I just wish I could Photoshop well enough to crudely put Dave and Bryan's faces on the Wayne's World poster.

I played around with the online version for the first time last night. I'm pretty sure I'm "synced up" to the crew - I'm jstout423 (how convenient!) I picked out a random mission and it took me to a race where I was the passenger while another guy drove and I was supposed to give him directions over the headset mic. Problem is, my headset mic broke a few months ago and I need to buy a new one. Whoops. Guy still finished second, but I can imagine he was none too pleased with me. I gotta get a headset mic Wednesday. And my first kill after being killed six straight times in the kill-or-be-killed mission was pretty damn sweet.

But it says "news story," and Dave's world (party time, excellent!) has always been pro wrestling, MMA and to a lesser extent, boxling. And there have been much worse mockings on those polls in the past.

I didn't see most of the show - did the announcers make a giant deal out of Cena coming back, complete with graphics and all that? Bringing him back a couple of months after triceps surgery is insane, but bringing him back and putting him on next-to-last, at best, with Alberto Del freakin' Rio is INSANE. No one gives a wet damn about Del Rio.

Interested in everybody's reaction to this one, 'cause it's more of a reaction piece than the guy's strange opinion about everything. It's strange to me as an editor that he goes to an event like this and just writes about what he sees, when most writers would at least try to get a quote or two. Chances are the quotes would be the old-timers trying to work him anyway. He's a good writer, gotta give him that.

They should show Big Show living in a box backstage at whatever arena they're at. Send him out into the crowd begging for money using a gigantic hat. Have him in the parking garage cleaning other wrestlers' car windows with newspapers. Ditch his entrance music and have him come out to "Ain't Got No Home" by Clarence "Frogman" Henry.
