Earlier tonight on the Triple-H Show: - Randy Orton's excuse for losing to the Undertaker was that his left shoulder gave up when he attempted to tombstone the Dead Man. He was then granted a match against Batista. - Following a groundbreaking ladder match at WrestleMania 21, Y2J, Shelton Benjamin and Christian stole the show with a fast-paced triple-threat match. - With briefcase in hand, Edge is really picking up with his heel gimmick. I don't care what others think - you're looking at the next champion. - I really don't see HBK putting Muhammad Hassan over at all. - Austin made a return appearance by punking out Maven and Simon Dean. - Wow...Orton just dropped below jobber status after this episode. - And, as usual, HHH killed majority of the show by yapping his mouth. BTW, I reported earlier that Bret "Hitman" Hart was on hand at RVD's 5-Star Comics, raising speculation that he was to appear at WrestleMania. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, as he flew back to Calgary before the show. What was the whole point of him being in L.A. in the first place?

Time for a detailed recap of WrestleMania 21 The show started with a montage of the trailers that played within the past month. Then, a new trailer was released. This one featured Stone Cold Steve Austin taking the role of Russell Crowe in Gladiator. Austin: "My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin. And I came here to raise some hell." Rey Mysterio used a hurrancarana/small package combo to pin Eddie Guerrero. Money in the Bank - Ladder Match Pound for pound, this was the match of the night. If you put Chris benoit in a ladder match, there's no doubt that he'll do a diving headbutt from a ladder. And that he did, reopening his forehead gash after destroying Kane with the headbutt. He would've won the match, had not Edge used a steel chair on his injured arm. In the end, Edge pulled the briefcase from the top of the ring. Eugene made a surprise appearance. He talked about being at a WrestleMania. Then, Muhammad Hassan and his manager appeared and attacked him, locking him in the camel clutch. Hulk Hogan ran in and destroyed the Arab-Americans before doing his trademark shirt-rip and poses. Legend vs. Legend-Killer Despite interference from Cowboy Bob Orton and his forearm cast (it's 1985 all over again!), Undertaker made Randy Orton rest in peace. Icon vs. Olympic Hero Kurt Angle made Shawn Michaels tap out in a match that lasted over 25 minutes. Piper's Pit Rowdy Roddy Piper and Stone Cold Steve Austin slapped each other until Carlito Caribbean Cool arrived, bragging about how "cool" he is. After Austin destroyed Carlito, he shared beers with Piper before giving him a Stunner. Sumo Match Akebono shoved Big Show out of the ring. WWE Heavyweight Championship John Cena did the F-U on John Bradshaw Layfield to become the new WWE Champion. WWE Women's Championship Trish Stratus landed the Chick Kick on Christy Hemme to retain the title. World Heavyweight Championship Batista landed the Batista Bomb on Triple-H to become the new champion. Love him or hate him, you gotta admit that HHH's Motorhead entrance kicked ass.

Yesterday, I bought the illustrated storybook and noticed that Jar-Jar Binks is nowhere to be found. Is he absolutely nowhere in the movie at all? If so, that's the best news I've heard about Episode III.

Anyone here gonna pick up Ozzy Osbourne's Prince of Darkness boxed set?

Sorry, won't happen anytime soon, as he is Vinnie Mac's son-in-law.

Ah, the Vector. I remember reading about the time Andre Agassi bought one and it caught on fire while he was driving it in Vegas. Yeah, Elvis shot his when it refused to start.

No. Neither did this.

Time for the official WrestleMania 21 card and my predictions: World Heavyweight Championship: Triple-H vs. Batista - Yes, Batista will win. And no, he won't hold it for long. Obviously, HHH will chalk up one more title reign on his road to beating Ric Flair's all-time record. WWE Heavyweight Championship: John Bradshaw Layfield vs. John Cena - Of course, Cena's gonna win. Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Edge vs. Christian vs. Kane - I want Benoit to win this one, but it won't happen. Expect either Edge or Kane to grab the briefcase. Undertaker vs. Randy Orton - Chokeslam. Tombstone. 1-2-3. Orton is done this Sunday. Shawn Michaels vs. Kurt Angle - It'll be a grueling match, but HBK will win this one. WWE Women's Championship: Trish Stratus vs. Christy Hemme - Even if Trish beats Christy, no one's gonna care about this match. Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio - The match will end in a no-contest, as the Basham Brothers will interfere. Sumo Match: Big Show vs. Akebono - Who cares?

Speaking of the Ford GT, the American supercar will be available in a limited Tungsten Silver edition to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the GT40's Le Mans victory. More images here In the words of the nWo: Too SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

For MP3s, I use MusicMatch Jukebox. For video files, I use either BS Player or PowerDVD.

It's a 5MT with over 165,000 miles on it. Guess that means the Wankel's gonna give within 35K miles. I priced it up at the official Kelley Blue Book site, and $2,500 is right around that corner.

Kevin McKeever is already a walking joke. What's the point?

So that's where Red Comet went.

Yeah, but they don't compare to her version of "Sugar Baby Love" (A Little Snow Fairy Sugar).

Wow...some people actually fell for it. On behalf of the Anime News Network: APRIL FOOL'S!

Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story WWE Home Video, 2004 Running Time: 6 hours total Rated TV-14 for graphic violence, mature situations and mild language. Heavily inspired by wrestling superstar The Dynamite Kid, Edmonton native Chris Benoit travelled to Calgary to train in the famous Hart Dungeon in hopes of making a name for himself in the ring. His hard work and determination first brought him to Japan, where he donned a mask and called himself "The Pegasus Kid," shortly defeating Jushin "Thunder" Liger for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. Then, he ventured to Philadelphia, where he became infamously known in ECW as "The Crippler" after dropping Sabu head-first on the mat. After some success in WCW as a member of the Four Horsemen, Benoit jumped to the WWF, where he became an even bigger superstar before a neck injury in 2001 put his career on hold. Rebounding from surgery, Benoit made his way to WrestleMania XX in 2004, when he defeated Triple-H to become the World Champion. If there's only one WWE biography DVD worth buying, this would be it. Hard Knocks takes a close look at Chris Benoit's career as the best technical wrestler in the squared circle. This documentary features interviews with the Rabid Wolverine himself, along with Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko and many of Benoit's family members and friends. Benoit talks about how he grew up in the world of wrestling and how various events affected his life - from his infamous altercations with Kevin Sullivan to the tragic death of Owen Hart. His matches with the likes of Guerrero, Jericho and Bret "Hitman" Hart made him a well-respected wrestler. However, it's his numerous feuds with Kurt Angle that made wrestling fans take notice of his full potential. From there, he went on to conquer both the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania in 2004 to become one of the WWE's greatest champions. Never mind that he's reduced to mid-card level, thanks to HHH's overinflated ego. Chris Benoit still remains the best in the business, and this DVD is a must-buy for anyone into wrestling. Rating: A DVD Extras: A- The two-disc set includes a collection of Benoit's greatest matches from Japan, ECW, WCW and WWE. The Japanese matches come with your choice of the original commentaries, alternate commentaries by Michael Cole and Tazz (thus sounding like an episode of SmackDown!) or commentaries by Benoit, Malenko and Todd Grisham. Take note that Benoit's entrance themes in ECW and WCW have been heavily altered.

Earlier tonight on SmackDown!: - Tazz was not on the show as his father passed away. Filling in for Tazz was Jerry "The King" Lawler. - Paul London won the Cruiserweight battle royal after executing a sloppy leg-scissors throw on Billy Kidman. - Cowboy Bob Orton pleaded to the Undertaker not to face Randy Orton. This only set UT up for an RKO. Yawn. - Angle gave Josh Matthews a beating. Double-yawn. - Akebono showed some jobber how sumo wrestling works. Triple-yawn. - JBL had Cena arrested for vandalizing his limo last week. If this is SmackDown!'s way of preparing for WrestleMania, then get those futons fluffed up this Sunday night.

Good question. I'm surprised neither he nor Agent ONE posted their comments on my recent review of Macross Dynamite 7.

From the Anime News Network:

This morning, I talked to Commander McBride about an offer for another car, but he passed on it because he wants to use the surviving parts from his S14. So I thought I'd ask anyone here living in the Los Angeles area. My cousin is selling his white 1988 Mazda RX-7 convertible for $2,500. I took it for a spin, and so far, it runs good. It just needs minor bodywork, a new roof and a new center console frame. If anyone's interested, send me a PM.

I guess I'm part of the minority here. I voted for Tracks. Stupid Hasbro/Takara and their idea of making Battle Ravage...

Tough call. Macross 7 is better than Macross II. On the other hand, Macross Dynamite 7 is the single worst sequel in the Macross timeline.

Damn, man. And I just saw that car last week. At least you're okay. First, it's Nick's VF-EX, and now, it's Max's S14. I hope my VF-HX doesn't suffer the same fate.
