History of the WWE Championship

Just curious, what is the obssession with wrestling. You know that it just a soap opera for guys, don't you. It all scripted and rehearsed over and over, and if you watch it long enough, like me, you can predict everything that is going to happen in any given week. Plus there are no superstars like in the past........and don't tell me Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair....they are almost as old as me..........and I just turned 67, so I do know what wrestling is all about. It is all show and no realism. They try, I will give them that, but if you watch closely, noone is getting hurt.

Watching it on TV is bad enough, but to waste money on this stuff makes no sense at all.

Everyone has their own vice, and I guess wrestling is yours. I enjoy watching all the phoniness, but I would never waste my money on these soap operas for guys.

Just an opinion, mine!!

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Trick or Treason and Smallville - The Complete 1st Season

Edit: Smallville's box is broken and therefore the discs are badly scratched.

So Back to Costco it goes. (Goes to cry in the coner).

Did you know movies are all scripted and rehearsed over and over again too?

and if no one ever gets hurt, please feel free to explain how they faked this:

The Shoe People R2 UK
When the door to the old shoe repair shop is closed for the night, the magical world of the Shoe People springs to life....

I used to adore this show when I was little, watching after all these years brought back so many memories

Are You Being Served?: Complete Series 4 R2 UK
It's just keeps going from strength to strength with each series!

Greyfriars Bobby R2 UK
I've been eyeing this title for a couple of years and decided to get it, it always been a favourite of mine and it's definitely worth the purchase, even though the picture quality isn't brilliant.

I got Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series as an early birthday present. I've never seen it before (well, I think I may have seen one episode back when it was on) but it looks rather good so I'm excited to watch it.

Coming in the next week or so:

Help: Volume 3 - Episodes 5 and 6

This was a documentary series that aired on TV here on Oz recently on the NSW ambulance service.

This volume has been bought because my mother and myself is on episode 6.

It's not yet available to buy in the stores yet, but can be purchased through Marcom Projects

I picked up All About Eve last night at HMV for $16.99 CDN. I did see it at Future Shop for five dollars cheaper but it looked like a return because it wasn't sealed. Oh, well.

Great buy! I still have to get it myself, and I'd also highly recommend "Undeclared", another series by the F&G creators. It was a half-hour single-camera sitcom about freshman year at college for a lovable loser named Steven Karp (Jay Baruchel).

I love "Undeclared." I watched every episode when it was on TV and was quite upset when it was cancelled so early. I haven't gotten around to buying the DVD yet. I didn't realize it was from the same people as F&G... good to know.

how do the pricematches at best buy work?

Posted: **Tue Sep 12, 2006 1:53 pm**

From Best Buy:

Grey's Anatomy: The Complete Second Season for $34.99 plus tax. I also picked up a copy for a friend. I decided against picking this up at Target, even though I'm a sucker for bonus disc's, because Target, apparently, doesn't price match. So, Best Buy had the lowest price on this.

I can't believe I did this, as I told myself I wouldn't, but, I also picked up the Star Wars Trilogy with Best Buy Exclusive Tin. I'm a sucker for the original unaltered versions of the films, and I figure anything has got to be better than the worn out VHS tapes that I have. So, I picked that up, for $59.99 plus tax.

I can say one thing, I certainly picked up the points on my Reward Zone card, today!
