Anyone who says Tomahto is either nuts or English (maybe australia, kiwi or south african).

I do not doubt you had THAT shirt, but this is the shirt John was referring to. EDIT: I am not a troll. Wow. I stand corrected. Who'd have thought they would make TWO nWo shirts that had terrible "broken bones" related phrases on the back. Lol before I read Louis post with the pic I was gonna reply and correct you, but Louis, master of the pics comes up big. I remembered seeing this shirt and thinking it was the dumbest thing. I also hold in high regard the "Blood Stone" shirt with Austin's bloody face on the front. These are shirts that sold strictly because of who was being promoted with them. Can't blame the 'Feds though for capitalizing on opportunities.

During the Halloween 2012 edition of Review-A-Wai, John refers to Northern Exposure as a Canadian TV show. It was actually an American production, set in Alaska, that aired from 1990 to 1995. Goddamn you coulda fooled me! That show was a Canadian institution! It was always on the low end channels in Canada that everyone got even if you weren't a cable subscriber.

Rick Rude was not right in his beef with WWF. How do you deserve to get paid ANYTHING if you didn't actually work? What kind of bull shit is this? So what if they advertised you? Did you show up to the building and work a match? No?? Then NO MONIES for you. And also, who says WWF continued to advertise Rude for house shows even after he was gone from the company? Rude? Like Rude was ever such a huge draw that they just HAD to advertise him for house shows... <rolleyes> Not to start an argument, but I think you might be looking at this from a normal person's job POV. If I don't show up for work, sure I shouldn't get paid. But no one comes to where I work to see me. "Card subject to change" has always been a fact of life in this industry or in MMA. If you advertise Anderson Silva, people are going to buy it to see him like it or not. Odds are if you called your cable provider and said "look he's hurt, I pre-paid, I don't want it anymore" they'd give you a hard time, but you'd get your money back. If UFC continued to advertise him and kept his injury secret up until the day of then bait and switched, I think Anderson would have every right to demand part of the purse.

In regards to Pollock's idea of a WCW invasion angle in a WWE game, it's kinda all ready been done. WWE '12 had a storyline where Kevin Nash, Arn Anderson, Rey Mysterio, The Big Show, Vader and Road Warrior Animal ressurected WCW and 'took over' the 'E for a few months. It made as much sense as a bag of spanners and was an absolute fucking chore to play through.

During the WWE '13 edition of Review-A-Wai, John and Wai discuss the Inferno match they assembled with David Otunga facing off against Santino Marella.
Wai mentions that Otunga took a long time to light on fire, and ponders that perhaps it's because of all of the body grease he uses.
Grease is unlikely to make something less flammable.

Actually, baby oil is not very flammable and tough to light. He SAID grease, so you're totally right, but he should have said baby oil, which has a much harder time being lit. Maybe in Canada "grease" means baby oil. I'm not too familiar with the vernacular of third-world countries.
Also, re: this conversation of baby oil. I hate wrestling.

To be "greased up" means being covered in baby oil. It is, but not particularly flammable

On the December 17th edition of Review-A-Raw, the guys were talking about Tommy Dreamer's entrance music, and how they'd used his old ECW theme, Man in the Box, by Alice in Chains.

Big E Langston was never a bodybuilder, He did play some football though and they were right about the powerlifting. He was simply a powerlifter.

On the LAW Best of Show, John said his match of the year was Undertaker/HHH. He said one of the reasons is b/c you believed HHH could win.
I thing it's pretty safe to say no one thought HHH was going to win that match at any point. And for the record, Taker/HHH at Wrestlemania gets my vote for most overrated match of the year. Yes it was good, but the story telling to me was completely illogical. No one for a second though HBK was going to stop the match at any point, and him teasing doing that FOREVER really killed that match for me.

I'm not too familiar with the vernacular of third-world countries. This line... in what world is Canada a "third world country" WTF? Come to China. I'll show you third world. (AND no, I'm not Chinese, I'm american, and am originally from NH, having lived 1 hour off the US/Canadian border. Been to Canada many times. If anything it's closer to being called a US 2.0 than a 3rd world country)

Listen to the reaction to some of those near falls. Yes, while we would have complained about how stupid for business it would've been for them to put Hunter over, at that moment even the most jaded of us were able to suspend our disbeliefs enough to buy into the possibility. And how is this a "fact" to be checked?

I agree with Wai here, for some of those near falls, especially the superkick into pedigree, i thought the streak was over.
Found it bizarre afterwards some people, including bryan alvarez, were going 'oh yeah never in doubt' because its like a superkick and a pedigree and you were never in doubt? really? after he just took two of the most over finishers in wwe history?
Great match with lots of drama

It's not a fact check, just saying.
At Wrestlemania 27, when HHH hit the pedigree, with his position in the company, like most people I thought for a second that he actually would pin Taker and end the streak. Not for a single second did I think HHH would win at 28, and I sure as hell didn't think Shawn Michaels was ever going to stop the match. The Shawn Michaels crap just wasted time.
