After dropping the WWE United States Championship to Edge, the duo were booked into a lengthy feud. During this feud, Edge started the "you suck" chants every time Angle entered a WWE ring, usually in tune with Angle's entrance music. The chants followed Angle throughout the rest of his WWE career.No way. Edge thought of that? Always thought the fans made it.
Remember their feud in 2002? Edge kept mocking Angle with various promos, including "You Suck" wording into most of them, especially the t-shirt. It resonated with the fans, culminating when Edge led the crowd into chanting "You Suck" in sync with his entrance music afterwards of the t-shirt incident.
You can see it on the Smackdown 10-year DVD, I think.

I'm considering ditching my current provider for another, better one (particularly Sun Broadband). Hopefully by November.

I was joking to my girlfriend that this movie is "Jason Bourne with a vagina".
And spy-related paranoia is a bit overhyped.

It's hard to take sides on public disclosure. Sure, some documents (e.g where taxpayers' money go in the military) can be disclosed for public viewing since the public are somehow involved in it, but as always some documents has the need for secrecy.
For example, you are a general planning a raid at Afghanistan to target a safehouse of Taliban terrorists that are 100% identified as such. Then you file paperwork and get the explicit approval of the higher-ups to do so by three days. Then two days later, you hear the news that some brainless schmuck somehow got your papers and uploaded it to Wikileaks. Your plan is busted, potentially the terrorists can read it and move away, putting all your intelligence hardwork to waste. No amount of apologies can resurrect this one.
The truth is, the government concerned has all the right to keep certain documents secret. Be it savory on unsavory, they have the every right to do so. But every right has a responsibility, and the government should have the responsibility to draw the line between something that's time-sensitive to secrecy and the ones that are to be accessible to the public. That is their responsibility.
Sometimes, people misinterpret the real scope of their constitutional right "to know" as "to know EVERYTHING", and that's a common fallacy committed by most. Concerning the recent Wikileaks documents, some parts of it are for the public eye, and some of it are not. When you possess things of this magnitude, you immediately and involuntarily assume part of whole of the responsibility for it. Why can't they just release it after the Afghanistan conflict is over?
Wikileaks may have informed some people, but they simultaneously endangered national security and hampered military operations over at Afghanistan. And the $64,000 question is, which is more important?
Where the line to be drawn is when it comes to public disclosure, that is the real root of the problem.

Hmm...Probably the Rock Austin/Autin Rock wrestlemania matches and Hulk Hogan VS Andre and the Ultimate Warrior main events.
Possibly one of the best matches I've seen.
Lately, it's been getting a bit stale.
Competition, dude. When businesses don't have viable competition, they get stale. WWE is getting somewhere near that, but not yet.
So far, no competition yet.
WWE reached its peak state when, yes, they have WCW going strong over at TNN. They are developing up-and-coming main eventers such as Michaels, HHH, Rock and Austin while WCW was content milking the oldtimers.
Now, it's quite similar. WWE is developing LOTS (I emphasize lots) of young wrestlers, and successfully developing one (Sheamus) into main event level, albeit quickly and given that he's getting booked against all credible ex-champions. TNA (or the Total Nonstop Hogan Wrestling) is content milking the oldtimers.
But TNA is not yet competition-level, anyway.

I bet they gave Kane the belt for Swagger storyline. He's got something Swagger wants and Kane wants to beat the hell out of Swagger.I still think Kane took out the Undertaker and is blaming everyone so he won't get suspected.
Goodness, you hit the nail on the spot. By next Friday.
