Mickey Rourke possesses more acting ability in his pinky finger than Mick does in his entire broken down body..
And, we know WHY it's broken down..

The 2001 FedEx Orange Bowl must be the best selling DVD of all time. I swear it's on this list every time.
Posted By: Cory (Guest) on December 18, 2008 at 03:15 PM
Shawn should do one of these. theirs some continuity....

surely foleys fine for cash, he's always been one to save money in whatever way he can, in fact I'd say hes quite loaded probably.

I think this is said every week, but I'll do the honours. When NCAA DVDs are bought for some reason they are always scanned as the 2001 Orange Bowl. WCW had a similar setup when merchandise of people like Rey Mysterio, Eddie, and Jericho were scanned as items for the nWo and Sting, although they did it on purpose.

Damn, he must not have sexually harassed Torrie during her WWE run if she's still willing to work with him. I know Orton likes to shit in Diva's bags but you know JBL probably does fucked up shit too, at least 1960s style sexual harassment.

Why does Sports Illustrated consider The Wrestler a sports movie? Do they ever talk about professional wrestling in the magazine?
Posted By: x (Guest) on December 18, 2008 at 04:12 PM
WAIT! Sports Illustrated considers professional wrestlng a sport when it is tied to a big buzz movie, but otherwise it is not even mentioned.
So if SI will call it a sports movie, than they better star printing WrestleMania results on front cover.
I loathe the media.!~

It would be funny to see skits of Shawn Michaels on RAW promoting JBLs energy drink, but I can bet they wont be like the DX merchendise promotions

Note to 411:
Next week when you list the top selling DVD's for the week, PLEASE put the note above after the DVD list!
That way, morons can stop commenting:
"Man that Orange Bowl must have been the best game/best selling DVD/most watched DVD in history"
Thanks!

I'm waiting for RVD to release his new energy drink: Marijuana Energy

I knew Ohio football fans are over obsessive from living there for four years, but I never would have guessed they held so much sway over the top Sports DVDS.

where's all the hardy haters?
They are in every other article....
just sayin

"I know Orton likes to shit in Diva's bags but you know JBL"
Orton sprayed tanning lotion and baby oil into former Diva Rochelle Loewen's bag. Loewen herself confirmed this in an interview, along with the fact that Vince personally called her to apologize and paid to have her damaged bags replaced.

"Sports Entertainment Movie of the Year" is more like it

WOW, that is seriously the biggest leap in logic I have ever seen in my entire life. Congratulations on, uh, doing that...I guess.

No doubt more RVD's DVD will be back in the charts next month, now that he's back with WWE.

Haw HAW! Angle's TNA DVD was #8 for one week and already disappeared. If it was WWE, it would be #1 for weeks.

I've read in a few interviews with other wrestlers and even the man himself has admitted it...Mick Foley saved alot of money during his full time active wrestler days because he is the tightest man ever! William Regal put it like this "he only ever breathes in not out he's so tight"
Steve Austin said once "it was good travelling with Mick in the early days cos you were guaranteed to spend as little as possible he knew all the cheapest hotels and restaurants on the road"
