Honestly, yeah. I'm a huge fan of Bourne, and it makes me sad that he will probably be losing the tag titles not too long after he returns

This isnt going ever get made no one get annoyed with it. Just move on.

Ring of Hell is a really good and truthful expose on the darkside of the business. I had problems with how it was written. Randazzo's friends called it a polemic while really it is just OTT in its writing style - Randazzo would probably call pulling a hang nail A GROSS ACT OF SELF MUTILATION or something.

I thought Ring of Hell was awful. He uses message board posts at one stage as some kind of credible source.

Lord TSC

I thought it was awful. I remember getting really frustrated at how little research he had obviously done and how he blatently contradicted himself a few times...

Diabhal Beag

I loved how it's main promotion involved Bix praising it. Was going to buy it until I heard message-boards were used as references.

Looks like its not only the main eventers that are drink driving:

Former Miss USA winner and WWE Tough Enough contestant Rima Fakih was arrested on Saturday morning on drunk driving charges in Highland Park, Michigan. WXYZ reports that she took a breathalyzer and blew a 2.0, more than twice the state's legal limit.

I was on a website he used to frequent. He had the most godawful overwritten posting style, and was doing his best to be hip to all the hot new bands, which included Oasis in 2002. He was, frankly, a bit of a nob.

oh god, that was hilarious!

In fairness, Heathen Chemistry, arguably their best album was released in 2002.

The band had a new lineup and they were trying to break America again, so it's not a massive stretch.

Looks like Lilian Garcia is back to ring announce for Smackdown:

http://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/lilian-garcia-returns

WWE Universe, Lilian Garcia is back in a WWE ring!

Returning to WWE full-time after a more than two-year hiatus, Lilian will be SmackDown’s new ring announcer! It’s her first time joining WWE’s flagship Friday night brand.

Lilian debuted as a Raw ring announcer in August 1999. She’s the only Diva to celebrate a decade with WWE, retiring in September 2009 after her 10-year anniversary.

The bilingual Diva made WWE history by becoming the first female to announce WrestleMania, at WrestleMania 22. She has performed the National Anthem at hundreds of WWE, NBA, New York Jets games and other sporting events. Lilian’s Spanish language debut album, “¡Quiero Vivir!,” was released in October 2007, and featured Latin recording artist Jon Secada.

I can see it now.

Don't mind Lilian myself, always thought she was a decent announcer, not to mention those fine pair of legs on her.

Would love to see Ricardo Rodriguez as the Smackdown full-time ring announcer though
