  1. I Saw Cinderella Man in the cinema in the other day. Apart from Zellweger, I thought the film was excellant. It is easy to overlook actually how good Crowe's performance is. Roger Ebert said that most good films are filled with bad people, cynism and irony while most bad films have good hearted characters in them. Crowe manages to potray a completely nice character that was believable and free of irony - deserves an Oscar nom at least.

  2. - Throughout 1999/2000, The Outsiders were immensely over and received great reactions, but were they supposed to be heels?

    Nash was a tweener when he defeated Goldberg in late '98, and continued that for most of '99. In 2000 he was a face under Russo. Before The Wolfpac was formed, they were bonafide heels who happened to be really over and get mostly face reactions.
    I'm pretty sure Nash was full face when he beat Goldberg, as the Wolfpac were faces. He turned full fledged heel 8 days later in the finger poke of door angle. He turned face around May '99 when defeating DDP for the belt, and turned heel again for his run against Hogan. He was heel when The Outsiders returned in Oct '99, and remained that way until the Russo/Bischoff era.
  3. 1. No idea sorry2. Leslie was promoting Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult, so he was basically doing his Frank Drebin character along with George Kennedy.3. Yeah, pretty much4. No, the angle was abandoned after Hogan walked out on the WWE and then McMahon buried the angle by showing footage of Hogan taking his mask off after air (which he'd been doing for weeks)

  4. ,Oct 17 2005, 21:37] 01.jpgI'll guess this has probably been asked at some point, but does anyone know the history behind this picture?Something about the belt looks a bit funny, don't know why, it looks as though it lacks the 'shine' of the real WWF title (might just be the picture though). Barry looks pretty old here, did Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling use a modified old WWF belt?

    Yes, the picture is from Dusty Rhodes' Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling. While Windham does indeed look old in that pic, he had quite a good comeback in TCW, having some good matches in with Steve Corino, Dustin Rhodes and Tommy Dreamer.
  5. Dusty Rhodes is so rare because when he left the WWF, they pulled his figure from the market. I believe it never made the foreign market. There's two Dustys, the yellow boot version and the white boot version with the former being the rarer of the two. There's also the regular card version and the SummerSlam card version, with once again the former being the rarer of the two.

  6. Personally I find the term 'coloured' offensive because it seems to me to imply that whites are devoid of colour, that they are pure. I think Malcolm X describes it well - "When I was born, I was black. When I grow up, I'm black. When I'm ill, When I die, I'm black. But you - When you're born, you're pink. When you grow up, you're white. When you're ill, you're green. When you go out in the sun, you go red. When you're cold, you go blue. When you die, you're purple. And you have the nerve to call me Colored?"
