From 1wrestling.com (not so bad with a popup stopper)

Quote:- Ross said that negotiations with Scott Steiner began on October 17th, and that he signed his contract on October 22nd. Ross made it a point to state that Internet reports that they were in negotiations prior to this timeline are incorrect. He said that no decision has been made as to which brand he will be put with. Ross wrote that doctors have stated that Steiner is in great shape. He said there is not set start date yet.

In response to Ross' statement, Dave Scherer wanted me to include the following: "For the record, I once again dispute Jim Ross' account of the Scott Steiner negotiations. As I reported here last month, there was contact between WWE representatives and those of Steiner. I would guess that it's possible that Ross was left out of those preliminary negotiations, as that has happened in the past (for example, Mark Mero and Sable went right over Ross' head and did their deals with Vince McMahon). McMahon has handled other talent negotiations as well. It's also no secret that Johnny Ace is getting a bigger role behind the scenes and perhaps the earlier contact went through him. Perhaps it wasn't "official" or "on the record" or whatever JR wants to call it, but it happened and I talked to a number of people in WWE last month that knew about it. From what WWE sources have told me (sorry Jim), Ross is never happy when he is kept out of the loop on talent deals. That is understandable considering it's his department. Also, I have heard from WWE sources that Ross was not in favor of bringing Steiner in. From what I have been able to find out, it's possible that Ross feels that way because he is a Ric Flair ally and Steiner and Flair aren't on the best of terms. In any event, I stand behind my reporting of the story and think the truth has been borne out."

- He put over the No Mercy from both a talent and technical perspective, mentioning the Undertaker-Lesnar and Angle & Benoit-Edge & Mysterio matches as being outstanding.

- Ross wrote that the Triple H angle was "unfortunately, not viewed as funny or entertaining by some who have expressed themselves very passionately." He said that he expects more controversy in the future, and that the show needs to be diverse and unpredictable. He said that some of the things they do are "edgy" to him, but that he is not in their target demographic. Ross wrote that he is looking forward to seeing what happens next with Raw.

Note from Buck: I can add to this that sources tell me that JR is right about the more controversial direction. We have heard that Vince McMahon plans to continue the "extreme" type of angles that started with the "Kane is a murderer" storyline. As of right now, don't expect those kind of angles to stop. Expect them to intensify.

- He speculated whether Brock Lesnar could give the F5 to Big Show. He said Smackdown next week will have a Halloween theme. Ross reflected on a Halloween Havoc WCW PPV where he, Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman had to dress in costumes.

- Ross wrote that Doug Basham of OVW is ready for the next level. He also praised Rob Conway, Nick Dinsmore, Rene Dupree, Charlie Haas, and Shelton Benjamin.

- He put over Mark Jindrak's progress. as well as Orlando Jordan and Damaja. He said that Matt Morgan, formerly of Tough Enough 2, has a lot of potential.

- He put over Bradshaw's WWE.com updates while he does PR work around the world for the company.

- Ross talked about the Smackdown event in Helsinki, saying over 10,000 fans attended, and no one was injured. He pointed out that Booker T is replacing Undertaker on this tour while he let's injuries heal, and awaits the arrival of his child. Ireland is the next stop for the tour.

- The card for the Rebellion PPV in the UK will have Edge vs. Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit vs. the Guerreros, and a Triple Threat match with Jamie Noble vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri.

- Ross reminded that Eric Bischoff will be on Byte This today, and wrote "I wanted to join "Mr. Bischoff" on this live forum but my presence was not needed."

- The publishing of the cookbook is on schedule, with the covers finalized this week.

- He put over Test's new ring gear and his angle with Stacy Keibler, the feud between Chris Jericho and Booker T, and the tag team of Lance Storm & William Regal.

- He feels Chris Jericho & Christian will become a "VERY good" team in a short time, but also said they are valuable as singles performers. He also praised John Cena's new role as a heel is good for him.

- Ross said that Jazz, Sean O'Haire, Mark Henry, Kanyon, Maven and Rhyno should be back by the end of the year.

- Kurt Angle had been having some back problems, and will be off some house shows in November so he can heal.

- Bubba Ray Dudley was cleared to return to work, and he is a hundred percent. Ross put him over as being "durable and tough". Kanyon has also been cleared to work, and will head to OVW.

- Billy Gunn is rehabbing his shoulder, but still does not have all feeling back. He will see Dr. James Andrews for an examination. Ross praised Billy, who has had a long run in the company, and that he will make a great road agent someday.

- Maven should be released from doctor's care next week and head to OVW. Rhyno has been doing light workouts, and will meet with Dr. Lloyd Youngblood to see if he can step up his schedule.

- Pat Patterson is rehabbing his shoulder, and should be find in 5 weeks.

- He put over Bobby Heenan's book, mentioning it is in its second printing now.

- Ross wrote about Superstar Billy Graham finally getting his liver transplant, and sent his best wishes to the legend.

- Ross wrote that his roomate at Major League Umpire School, Tim McClelleand is umpiring in the World Series, and closed the report with talk of his Sooners.

I'm taking out a unwed mother tonight for the first time and not wanting to look like a cheap prick I need some advice..
At a self lunch service buffet. THe chick seats you and bring you your "soft" drink and refills.
Buffet costs $7.95 you pay at the door on the way out

Do you tip?
How much?

Also if I happen to get "lucky" with this future welfare mom do I offer to pay for her kids babysitter fee? My train of thought is if I get anal I will pay anything else no.

Ok, I posed this question to a couple of my coworkers and i had some mixed reactions. Here it goes.

Lets say, right now, you received $2 million dollars and ordered to quit your job. Could you live the rest of your life just on the $2 million dollars?
Rules:
1) It could not influence your life at all. In other words, if you had your heart set on living in NJ for the rest of your life, then you would have to do that. If you planned on getting married and having 6 children, you would still have to do it. The thing is that it could not effect the way you live right now or the way you planned on living. If you had the dream of opening your own store, that would be fine, because the $2 million didn't influence you to open the store.
2) You would not to be able to work again though, unless you planned something special before receiving the money.
3) You could not invest the money unless it is just in an interest bearing account at a bank.
4) The money is NOT taxed.
5) This would include children's weddings, colleges, your mortgage(s), your vacations, your cars, medical conditions, master's degree(s), etc.. Remember, if you planned on living in NYC, then that's more than living in East Conn.
6) Remember, it is you receiving the money. if you are married, you and your wife count as one person, so your wife would have to quit work. but if you get married after receiving the money, she could continue to work.
7) This is providing that you don't have to leave anything to your children after your death.

I think these were all the rules we came up with.

I think I could do it. What do you guys think? If you can't, how much could you think you could live on?

Do you actually like doing oral, both guys and girls. Do you do it cause you feel obligated? Or do you just not do it?

I actually enjoy giving oral, I think it's more about giving pleasure than the actual act.

How long before maynards drags his cock into this discussion? Fuckin guy is offering his cock around today as if it were enron stock.

If you can have any amount you'd like. But in entering a contract with the devil, you will spend all of eternity in Hell. The worst possible place you can imagine. Worse than the Bronx.
Not only that, once you die, all the money is gone.


Would you do it?
How much would it cost?




I couldn't do that. Money isn't really all that important to me. As long as I have enough to get by.

Quote:Sacramento Named In 'Unspecified Terror Threat'
FBI: It Mentioned Sacramento, And It Mentioned New York

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- For the first time ever, Sacramento has been named in an "unspecified terror threat" issued by the FBI.

But authorities are downplaying the threat and encouraging area residents and workers to go about business as usual.

"It just mentioned Oct. 25, and it mentioned Sacramento, and it mentioned New York City," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael Mason.

Aside from that, the terrorist threat contained no specifics, no potential targets, and no method of attack. Nonetheless, the FBI alerted local authorities just in case.

"It's something I'll think about. It's something I'll think about when I get up and when I come into work. But it's not something that's going stop me from coming to work," said legislative aide Abi Turner.

But some people are worried, namely people who live in the shadow of the massive Elk Grove propane tanks.

But the FBI says this is the same kind of uncorroborated threat that comes in every day with no consequences whatsoever

From what was said in the tiger's girl thread.

How do you prefer it, shaved, trimmed, or just a big ole bush?

I prefer a little fuzz, so I am going with trimmed. I hate the little whisker's look though, so a little more grown in that that. Cleanly shaven has no personality in my eyes.

For those who forgot, Set clocks back an hour Saturday night.

Extra Hour of sleep. :banana: :banana: :banana:

Quote:WWE has announced on the company website that they have signed Scott Steiner to wrestle for the promotion. On the splash page of the site, they wrote the following:

Steiner signs with WWE
World Wrestling Entertainment is happy to announce it has signed Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner.

As we have been reporting for weeks now, despite denials from head of talent relations Jim Ross, the company has been in discussions with Steiner's representatives for quite some time now. From what sources tell 1Wrestling.com, negotiations intensified over the last week or two, leading to the deal announced today. It will be interesting to see how Ross handles the story in the Ross Report tomorrow. Again, as we have stated in the past on the site, WWE has been in negotiations with Steiner for some time now, despite public denials to the contrary.

Quote:A number of people I spoke with in WWE are surprised that the company gave away the signing of Scott Steiner on their website instead of trying to use it to get a surprise pop out of their fans on a TV broadcast. There is a feeling among some company employees that the braintrust of the company felt it was more important to get people talking by releasing news of the signing than to use it to pop TV viewers when he debuted. There is also a feeling among some that in the days of the internet, it's almost impossible to keep a secret and that they may as well be the one to announce it.

As it stands right now, it appears that Steiner will go where he is desperately needed, to the Raw brand. I am not sure how he will be used at first, but it would seem to make sense that they keep him away from Triple H and build a long term program between the two, perhaps pairing them off at WrestleMania.

I always thought Boomer was going to be the first to come out of the Closet. The fact that it's a big lineman makes this kind of funny.


Tuaolo says he contemplated suicide

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ESPN.com news services


Esera Tuaolo, who played nine years in the NFL as a defensive lineman, will reveal he is gay in an interview to be shown Tuesday on HBO's "Real Sports" and in the upcoming issue of ESPN The Magazine. Tuaolo, who played for five NFL teams, said a major reason for his early retirement in 1999 was the difficulty and frustration that came with keeping his sexual orientation a secret.

"They didn't know who Esera Tuaolo is," he said in the interview with HBO. "What they saw was an actor."

Tuaolo, 34, said players routinely told gay jokes in the locker room.

"They made me go further and further into depression, further and further into shame," he said.

In a transcript and tape of the HBO show obtained by The New York Post, Tuaolo discusses the depth of his depression, saying it reached a point to where he thought about suicide.

"When I'm driving like over a 100 (mph), maybe I could just like turn that wheel, just turn that wheel so I could just end it all," Tuaolo said in the interview.

Tuaolo, a native of Hawaii, played at Oregon State before being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1991 (35th pick overall). He also played for the Panthers, Vikings and Jaguars, and for the Falcons, the team he was with in Super Bowl XXXIII.

The "Real Sports" segment also features ESPN's Sterling Sharpe, a former teammate of Tuaolo's with the Packers.

When Sharpe was asked what would have happened if Tuaolo came out while he was still playing in the NFL, Sharpe said: "He would have been eaten alive and he would have been hated for it."
