Boomer Esiason said from what he heard, he thought it was true... atleast thats what he said on PTI. So Boomer is Connie Chung now?

Continental Championship Wrestling Backstory When WWE Chairman Vince McMahon purchased World Championship Wrestling in March of 2001, everyone in the wrestling world thought his rise to supreme power was complete. Little did he know that the lack of competition made for less compelling television, thus alienating many of his long time viewers. Three mediocre years passed with McMahon never able to recreate the magic that coursed through the veins of his company in the late 1990's. WWE shows went from sold out mega arenas back to convention centers and secondary auditoriums. The end, it seemed, was near. The final nail in the coffin was driven home on September 1, 2004, when Vincent Kennedy McMahon, chairman of the WWE for 25 plus years, sold his stock to an anonymous buyer, thus ending the McMahon dynasty of professional wrestling. Unbeknownst to McMahon, the "anonymous buyer" of his company was none other than his long time rival, and current employee Eric Bischoff. Enraged by this, McMahon vowed to destroy Bischoff. He began paying off his former employees to get inside information on Bischoff, an action the arrogant Bischoff was unaware of. Eventually, Vince gathered enough information and took Bischoff to court with a lawsuit citing Breach of Contract. The trial lasted six grueling months, and in the end, the judge ruled that both man had committed violations of the contract of sale, and furthermore, that due to this fiasco, World Wrestling Entertainment would be officially disbanded. Wrestling fans throughout the world were devastated by the news. What would become of the sport they so dearly loved? Would it revert back to its days of territorially dominated independent promotions? Or would it just shrivel up and die once and for all.? These were the thoughts that cluttered their minds for 3 long weeks. Then, the unthinkable happened. Rumors began to fly that a former WWE Champion was signing top notch talent left and right, with the intention of building a new Sports Entertainment superpower. Despite all of the hearsay that cluttered the various message boards and hot sheets throughout the Internet, no one knew who was behind it. Then, on September 20 they all got their answer. During half-time of the Monday Night Football telecast, Chris Berman, from the ESPN studios in Bristol CT, sat down to interview "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. During the course of the now controversial 7 minute interview, Austin announced that it was HE who had been laying the groundwork for the new Wrestling superpower, that he had finalized a TV contract to return to the USA network, and that it would be called Continental Championship Wrestling. Contrary to popular belief, In the waning moments of the interview, Austin did NOT in fact give Boomer the Stone Cold Stunner, he merely thanked him for the time and left the interview to go continue the tedious process of starting a promotion. Austin was blasted in the media for paying such a high sum of money (13.2 Million Dollars was the reported cost) to appear on ABC's most popular broadcast. True to Austin form, he gave the swarms of reporters surrounding the new CCW headquarters in Nashville, TN the one finger salute as he entered in to work the day after. All that remains now is for the TV deal to be finalized, setting a night and a time slot for the inaugural CCW broadcast. Will Austin succeed where all others failed? Can he return sports entertainment to the glory days it had when he himself was the top draw? Or will this just be another chapter in the book of failed attempts to recreate greatness? Only time will tell.

These guys are out of control, Chad & Keyshawn (I feel bad for their family, they're cousins :banghead ), "TO" (he's the worst, I hope he breaks his neck or gets killed, he's just so fukkin annoying), Joe "Tootin his own" Horn, Onterrio Smith (SOD= Steal of the Draft), Robert "Photo Op" Ferguson Spare Me. 564041[/snapback] Your opinion sucks. No Fun League lover is in THA' HOUSE. Who the hell are you to pass judgement on someone's family for football? I like how you're the God of all things "putting down Chad." Let the guys celebrate. Besides, I'm pretty sure Chad's thing is a dance, he already had a big thing with the fans where they were to email him ideas. It's so hilarious to see someone who loves the Lambeau leap act like a big hypocrite and say, "Celebrate THIS way, not THIS way." Poopy pants. 564070[/snapback] Phlub, do you even think before you spew your hypocratic rhetoric toward the general populace of posters here? The reason why you're so opposed to endzone celebrations is that your (dookie) Packers arent creative enough to do anything other than jumping in the crowd. Unless Donald Driver goes out to the parking lot and steals a car. :thumbup You. Jealous.Period.

Pavy deserves the Cy Young because hes carried the Marlins staff when Jach went down and Train started sucking it up. Peavy should finish 2nd or Third, Clemens is a dark horse who I think will win strictly on sentimental value and the fact that he's put up sick numbers in Coors Lite. I think it's wrong though, Pavy deserves it. And this coming from a Braves fan :thumbup

LOL Maybe the Fish will win the Divison and the Cubs the WC

The NHL seriously needs to consolidate.? It's time to stop masquerading as one of the "Four Major Sports".? There's like 6 or 7 "major sports", and the NHL isn't one of them. They should cut down to like 16 teams. (Preparing to get flamed...) 533048[/snapback] AGREED Hockey is NOT a major sport in the US anymore 533102[/snapback] Have you guys ever even been to a hockey game? Let me tell you this fellas. I was at the Inaugural Stanley Cup Playoff game in Nashville Predators history, and let me tell you this. That building was more full, louder, rowdier, and better than any sporting event or form of entertainment I have ever seen. Hockey is awesome. Flat out. You just have to give it a chance. Go to an NHL game, you'll see what I mean.

Kobe's not gonna get convicted, mark it down now. Not a chance in hell. If OJ got off, Kobe will walk.

Why is Palestine the most evil thing in the world?.? Palestine had all of what is now Israel.? Now, it is limited to the West Bank and Gaza, and has no soveignity.? I'm not in any way supporting the way they fight, but they do fight for a purpose besides elimating all Jews on the planet. People like the Palestinians exists all over, but none of them had their soverignity and most of their land taken away from Israel.? I don't understand why so many people support the Israelis fighting the Palestian terrorists, but not others who seek to cause the same harm. 531357[/snapback] So you're saying you're willing to give up your home because it used to be the Native Americans' land? They used to have the whole United States, and now they're limited to Reservations, with no sovreignity. So unless you harbor resentment toward yourself, your family, and your friends, you contradict your point. Honestly man, before picking a splinter out of someone else's eye, pull the plank out of your own.

Israel wouldn't exists without the U.S. on its side. They're screwed if they get the U.S. mad at them. 530934[/snapback] Right, the country with the strongest Air Force on the face of the planet is screwed if we "get mad at them." Beleive ot or not, Isreal doesnt Need our help man, they just accept it because they don't have a lot of allies. We're the ones that needs them, not vice versa.
