So, as usual when I'm bored and get home from work, I'm surfing random websites when I head over to the WWF website and read this actual news item.(A bit of an inside joke for people who watch Wrestling; the Spanish Announcers' table is the table that is pretty much always used to throw people through. If you see a Spanish Announcers' table you know someone is going to be put through it.)

Spanish announcers' table stays intact!

In a practically unprecedented event, the Spanish announcers' table survived the entire Pay-Per-View on Sunday, but Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler's table did not. Their's was destroyed during The Rock vs. Chris Jericho battle -- meaning Ross and Lawler had to continue commentating for about 90 minutes.

It's virtually always the other way around.

"The table broke so soon into the show," said Spanish announcer Carlos Cabrera. "The poor guys were actually sitting out there with no table."

That's something that Cabrera and his partner, Hugo Savinovich, can symphatize with, as they have called countless hours of Pay-Per-Views with no table in front of them.

"We have some experience in that department," Cabrera said. He added with a chuckle, "It's better them than us."

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

Before they can put someone through the table, they have to "strip" it first (ie. remove the monitors, mics, and plastic top). First, the regular announcer table got stripped. THEN, the Spanish announcer table got stripped. A friend said that the table locations appeared to be reversed from the normal, so we thought that the first table got stripped by mistake.

One of the wrestlers (sorry, I don't remember who) set the other guy up to slam him through the now stripped S.A.T., but it got reversed and that guy got slammed through the regular announce table.

Yes, much to my suprise, I am becoming a fan of wrestling. It helps to have a friend there that tells you of all the behind the scenes stuff that goes on to decide who will win and why.

After watching the "older than shit" fight (Rick Flair vs Vince McMann), and hearing that "Hulk" Hogan is coming back (again), it wouldn't suprise me.

I used to watch wrestling. The day Mick Foley retired was the day I stopped watching it.

I'm amused by the 2 hours of dumbasses that get paid way too much to fondle other men on national TV that is called "Smackdown"....

How much do these guys actually get paid to act like glorified 12 year olds?

One would assume that Football, Baseball, Basketball and Soccer players get paid to play a game they like...

Hockey players get paid to not kill people even though they're armed.

Wrestlers... get paid to have giant hissy fits and slap people around.

I liked wrestling when I was a kid. You know, when it was silly. Now it trys too hard to be cool.

Anyone remember the Doink & Midget Lookalikes vs. Jerry Lawler & Midget Lookalikes? Or Undertaker vs. Undertaker? Ah, the golden age of manager interference...

I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Undertaker vs. Undertaker is my second favorite match of all time.

Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior

Hogan vs Andre the Giant

Ted Debiasi vs Jake "The Snake" Roberts

"Macho Man" Randy Savage vs Hogan

King Randy Savage vs Hogan

Anyone remember Super Fly or Junk Yard Dog?

How about the other (and better) half of the Heart Foundation? ("The Anvil")
