WWE to be kilted

It ought to be interesting anyway. I hope they don't make Scots look silly. That sucks about Piper too, he's tha man!!

It's sad but it's the same cancer Mario Lemieux beat (and many others) a few years back. He caught it early and we all pray he'll be o.k.

I always liked Rowdy Roddy Piper, whether it was dim memories of him in the ring or his performance in John Carpenter's "They Live."

Who could have delivered the lines with the same tongue-in-cheek seriousness (if that makes sense)?

"I came here to chew bubblegum and kick a**. And I'm all out of bubble gum."

(sorry, i'm a big wrestling nerd. i mean, FAN. no, i mean nerd.)

and Long Live Roddy Piper!

Actually... All three of them were born in Scotland. All three eventually moved to Canada. Given their chosen career paths, it makes more sense for them. NOthing against Scotland or the UK at all, but the Pro Wrestling business is MUCH more prolific in North America (though Japan and the UK are great places to build a Pro Wrestling career).

In wrestling jargon, I am what's known as a smark, which means "smart mark." A mark is a person who follows wrestling, especially a certain fed or wrestler and truely believes that the story lines are taking place for real. A smart mark knows it's all a big theatrical display, yet follows it as intensely as a mark.

I've heard it called, "a soap opera for guys." Actually the athletics involved are AMAZING!!! If they did that for real, they KILL each other!

I miss the WCW!!! (and NWO) (I used to watch it back before the "union.") Since, I havn't had time to keep up.

A bunch of wrestlers here!

This thread resurfacing reminds me...
I was watching "New Year's Revolution" (the WWE's early January PPV) on January 8th. The Higlanders debuted new kilts... looked evry nice. I have got to figure out how their closure system works.

I'll never tell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
which ones were they wearing I've made a few for them.

It wasn't so much the line itself, it was the acting up to the line, and the delivery itself. Only the HotRod could pull that one off!
