Thanks very much.

Flair buried careers? You gotta be kidding me. Who was it that put Sting over on Clash of the Champions? Who was it that had legendary matches with Harley Race, the Funks, the Road Warriors, Rock and Roll Express, Ricky Steamboat, Blackjack Mulligan and Dusty Rhodes - and almost every WWE HOF...

I never said Flair made wrestling, I said he "helped" (keyword: helped) make the business. I agree with you 100% the fans make the business. But without what Flair (and numerous other wrestling legends) did in the 1970s there would be no fans today because the business would have never survived.

I totally agree jaba. We always make fun of Shaq and Kobe, call them names and hurl comical insults, but it's only because we respect them. They both are great athletes and a credit to the ability of NBA players. While true Shaq has a leg out the exit door, Kobe still has years to come.. How...

Could be Prime, but I think he's mad because in a lot of ways, Ric Flair made Vince McMahon. How? Because Flair helped make the business. He worked his tail off in the days when there was only one pay per view a year, wrestling on television one day a week (Saturday) and wrestling...

That's actually not a bad idea Storyteller. The only downfall is hardly anyone would pay to see the newbies, or mid-carders, so they would eventually be phased out of any ppvs. It would become another "you're either one of the bigdogs or you are nobody" kinda like what imploded with WCW. Just...

I had the honor of meeting Ric Flair once in person. I was with some friends and we were having something to eat. It was a casual 'by chance' meeting. He didn't have to say anything, nor did he even have to acknowledge we were even there. Not only did he take time to say hello, he even took...

Keep in mind Jaba that players often do just that. "Talk". It means very little no matter what they say or who said it. Far too often the media takes anything said out of context or tries to manipulate it to their advantage to sell papers or magazines or whatever brings them income. That's...

Prime, are you paying attention to anything you write? "Why is it hard for you to see that Shaq is AT FAULT for how his career is turning out?" Umm.. let's see.. multiple titles in Los Angeles, another title in Miami and oh yeh, in case you missed it, the Suns have won 9 of their last 11...

This is my point Prime. Four years ago Shaq was a different person and player than he is now. Everyone changes in four years. I was blaming Kobe Bryant and the Lakers - and I still do - just as much as Shaq. I don't blame Shaq for his selfish attitude. He helped bring the Lakers multiple...

I have to laugh at this post. All I can say is Shaq has really done a psych job on Laker fans. Trust me, Shaq is in no way losing sleep over the Lakers or anything LA related, Miami related or even Orlando related. He moved on with life. Yet Laker fans still bring up his name despite the...

Guys why don't we call a time out here and stop this senseless arguing? This is a forum and a place to share opinions. We may not always agree and that's part of the fun, but why the insults and arguments? Let's respect each other's opinions. We may not agree but at least show some respect...

First off you are mixing apples and oranges again. You can't compare Shaq of a "few years ago" with Shaq of 2008. At the time the Lakers traded Shaq he was a different player than he is today. To prove it he went to Miami and walked away with yet another NBA title. It wasn't all Shaq and it...

Interesting article on ESPN.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/070719 Here's a small part if you want to read: Cynthia Cooper initially (she came out of retirement and played one year in 2003) played in the WNBA four years, she won four championships, four MVPs in...

I guess this means you won't hear "Who Let the Dogs Out" at Atlanta games anymore.
