3. Katharine McPhee

4. Maria Kanellis

5. Ellen Page

6. Liv Tyler

7. Katie Holmes

8. Natalie Portman

9. Kaley Cuoco

10. Mandy Moore

EDIT- Made a couple of changes, figured that since my post was last in the thread that an extra post wasn't warranted.

I'm with Lowerdeck on this one, baseball is one of the best sports in the world. My favorite team is the Florida Marlins because of them being my hometown team. However, most people here in South Florida can't give two fucks about the Marlins and the Dolphins are fucking them every which way. Add in that that the State of Florida won't support them in building a new stadium and you have a fucked team.

That's too bad too because Florida won the World Championship twice in their short existence. Too bad that we keep trading all of our good players after our championship wins, or else we'd be a force to be reckoned with.

So yeah, support Florida, you'd be one of maybe 5 people.

Indy Car Racing is a pretty good game if you're an indy car guy.

Dirt to Daytona is another good one, it's a NASCAR sim in the vein of the Papyrus games. That means that it has realistic damage and everything.

If you're a simpleton, I recommend NASCAR 2006: Total Team Control. It's good, if you want to play and not think.

It also violates the Constitution as they searched her computer without a search warrant, thus meaning that they obtained the evidence illegally. Illegally gathered evidence cannot be used in court against someone. This evidence was gathered illegally as the party who searched computer didn't have a search warrant. Therefore, this case should be null and void.

On the List

1. Maria Kanellis

2. Keira Knightley

3. Candice Michelle

4. Natalie Portman

5. Eva Longoria

6. Jessica Alba

7. Scarlett Johansson

Off the list

1. Paris Hilton

2. Ashlee Simpson

3. Hilary Duff

4. Lindsay Lohan

5. Nicky Hilton

Yeah, my home sustained damage from when South Florida was hit by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina so I've had to put in overtime at work to pay for the repair. Thus leaving little time for diaries and I only have time for my primary diary, the split with Dukes.

Ring of Honor-- The grand daddy of the indies. Here is where I'd usually give you a history of the company but I felt that Wikipedia would do a better job at explaining what ROH is and then I'll add my own remarks.

The Ring of Honor (ROH) is an independent circuit professional wrestling promotion created in 2002. It is one of the leading US Independent companies and usually holds two or three shows every month. Annual shows include the Anniversary Show, Death Before Dishonor, Glory By Honor, Round Robin Challenge and Final Battle.

Unlike World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which mostly focuses on physical appearance, microphone skills, gimmicks, and characters, Ring of Honor showcases technical matches with smaller but very skilled performers.

Matches tend to be longer than those of larger promotions, and focus on the athletic abilities of the wrestlers. Some of the most acclaimed matches of 2004 occurred in the promotion.

Respected wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer rated the Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk sixty-minute bout from "Joe vs. Punk II" 16 October 2004, a full five-star in the Wrestling Observer. Meltzer had not rated any wrestling match in the United States the full five-stars since 1997.

As such, Ring of Honor has developed a loyal fan base in the Northeast and around the country. Ring of Honor also broadcasts on The Wrestling Channel to viewers in Great Britain and Ireland.

Code of Honor

ROH has a goal to present wrestling as a sport, not sports entertainment. In order to achieve this goal, ROH is based on the Code Of Honor, which was originally made up of five Laws Of Honor. These five Laws Of Honor were the sacred rules that defined Ring Of Honor's product and intend to promote sportsmanship, respect and honor inside the wrestling ring. The Laws Of Honor allowed ROH competitors to produce the most athletic matches possible and to insure only the best in ring action with clear winners and losers.

The previous Laws Of Honor were:

Competitors must shake hands before and after their match.

No interfering in matches or having others interfere on your behalf.

No harming a referee or causing others to harm an official. (See: Ref bump)

No sneak attacks.

If you are disqualified in your match, you have broken The Code Of Honor

In 2004 these laws were redefined, and are no longer considered to be mandatory. The wrestlers are expected to shake hands with their opponent(s) only if they respect them.

The Laws Of Honor are:

Shake hands with your opponent(s) before and after the match.

Respect the referees and officials.

Keep the playing field fair and balanced (this means no sneak attacks, no interfering, no allowing interference, no doing anything unfair that can turn the tide or effect the outcome of a match since the winners of all ROH matches should only be determined by true skill).

Some matches are not about respect, honor and sportsmanship. Some matches are about settling a heated issue. Some bouts are about hatred and just trying to hurt you adversary. As the issues in Ring Of Honor get more intense, ROH will present more gimmick matches centered on blood feuds. The Code Of Honor will thus not apply to these matches.

Contenders for Championships

Originally there was no set way to determine challengers for the Heavyweight Championship. When the heel Xavier became champion he began to avoid challengers. ROH instated a Top Five Ranking system where the wrestlers were listed based on their general win-loss record and the win-loss record against other ranked competitors. The heavyweight champion was always number one. The number one contender was determined with matches that included wrestlers on ranks from number two to number five, and the winner was awarded the Number One Contender Trophy to iconify his or her status.

The ranking system was scrapped when the new Laws Of Honor were defined. The new system was called the Contenders Ring. After events the officials submitted ballots, and wrestlers who appeared on more than 75% of the ballots were considered to be inside the Contenders Ring, and were awarded title shots for both the Heavyweight Championship and the Pure Championship.

The latest system involves the wrestlers submitting title petitions to the officials. Once a wrestler files a petition, ROH officials will keep track of his record, quality of opposition, respect shown towards the Code Of Honor and inherent skill. These factors will determine who gets the title shots. Though it is possible that ROH officials will sign matches to determine #1 contenders if no decision can be reached.

Currently there is no defined system for declaring championship contenders. Title shots are generally granted based on wins in specific matches which determine the number one contender to a specific title

There's also the problem of wwe.com not existing in 1998.

I hope that you can turn this around, ECW on MTV at 6 PM is highly unrealistic as Essa pointed out. ECW would likely be on at midnight if it landed on MTV and zscott is obviously not a fan of realism as he thinks that MTV would have ECW replace TRL.

The last episode of the next to last season of Roseanne, and the very end of the series finale. Imho, its possibly the worst series finale ever due to the fact it wipes out that entire season, but still sad at the same time.

Las Vegas would be a horrible idea. Put it in a race city like Daytona. Of course, the banks on the Daytona Infield Road Course might be a problem. In that case, just run on the flat apron through that part of the track.

I never said that Schumacher would bomb and I didn't mention Fittipaldi until the other guy did. Christian Fittipaldi and John Andretti (Ironically both former drivers of Petty's car) are both proof that having a racing relative doesn't determine talent. I'd love to see Michael Schumacher take the green flag in the Daytona 500 one day but he'd be more likely to start a road course race.

To steer us back on topic a bit, I think that Formula One should look for alternative road courses in America if Indy is a problem. I would recommend the Daytona infield road course but the road course extends onto the ovals and uses turns 3-4 of the oval. Those turns are banked very high so it may be a bit too much for a Formula One car. I'd love to see F1 keep coming to America and I hope that this doesn't stop it.

My point was that any truely good race car driver could be able to drive any kind of race car. Jeff Gordon proved himself capable of that and I'd like to see Schumacher do it. Christian Fittipaldi bombed in NASCAR and he didn't really have the best equipment to do well with. Christian Fittipaldi was driving Richard Petty's race car but that hasn't done well since The King retired (Save for a short time in the late 90s). Christian Fittipaldi had trouble not crashing the car though so he really did bomb. AJ Foyt's son Larry had the same problem as well (and seems to have the same problem in IRL).

Many open wheel guys have transitioned to stock car racing. I'd like to see Schumacher take a stock car around Watkins Glen or Infineon (Both road courses).

A real test to Michael Schumacher's ability would be his ability to adapt to other types of cars. NASCAR Drivers Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart are great at adapting. Gordon drove an F1 car and nearly broke the track record at Indy, won a Sprint Car Championship and 4 NASCAR Nextel Cup Championships. When Gordon broke the track record at Indy, he swapped cars with Juan Pablo Montoya. Montoya absolutely bombed in a stock car while Gordon excelled in Montoya's F1 car. Now look at Tony Stewart, former Indy car champion, NASCAR champion and sprint car champion. Both Gordon and Stewart have excelled in open wheel and stock cars. Could Michael do the same? I'd like to see him try it.

Formula 1 does deserve a major deal in America but that would only work if the races were shown on tape delays. I think that the Speed Channel (or formerly Speedvision) does a good job with Formula 1 especially when you consider who owns the station (NASCAR and FOX are co-owners of the Speed Channel). Seeing as FOX already airs NASCAR on their main station, F1 is stuck on FOX's racing oriented network.

Formula One on a major US network wouldn't work in some respects. You'd have to broadcast on a tape delay meaning that most of your audience can find out the result of the race before you air it. It would just be a big mess. Speed Channel does air F1 live and it was very hard to catch F1 before TiVo came along. A tape delayed F1 race wouldn't do well and you couldn't air it live so F1 is basically limited as to how big it can get here.

I read through this diary and one thing that stood out to me was the all colored SmackDown. You need to color is selected places. Please Roboto, stop copy and pasting from EWR. I hate to be a busybody but it is against the rules and you could be warned/banned.

5. No Copy & Paste Diaries/Plagerism

Please, we do not want to read all of the text for the games. And (obviously) don’t steal others’ work and claim it as your own. Though this is something that seems obvious, my work was actually plagerised at another EWR diary board a while back. THIS IS INTOLERABLE, and the staff can ban you right away.

When I heard about EWB and all of the good fantasy wrestling that it had here, I had no idea that it could be this good.

Fitzy, you are a great writer. One of the best that I've ever seen do this actually. As someone who's looking to do an EWR diary, reading something like this certainly gives me a great deal of information as to what is needed to have a good one.

What I Like

- Johnny Nitro, I loved it when John Hennigan did this in real life. Nitro has witty lines and his egotism is so over the top that it's hysterical.

- The amount of detail that you put into your matches. I've read a lot of efed writeups and other fantasy wrestling items and these have to be some of the best writeups that I've ever seen. I can read one of your matches and get deeply lost in it.

- Your booking, I can't wait to see what happens with Triple H and him getting back in the World Title picture. Chris Benoit as World Heavyweight Champion is awesome and of course, it happened at the time so I can't credit you with that. Benoit keeping the belt was great and I like how you are booking him as being the focus of your shows as opposed to making it "The Triple H Show" like WWE did. I love seeing Chris Benoit reign supreme as champion and I hope that Benoit gets to have another successful championship defense at Bad Blood. Booker T going to SmackDown will be interesting, especially finding out as to whom RAW will get in return.

- Unlike some others, I am actually interested in seeing the Kane and Undertaker storyline advance. Kane losing at Backlash could turn out to be good, depending on how well you execute the angle. The Undertaker wouldn't make a bad addition to Randy Orton's killed legends list.

- Lance Storm's push, I'm interested in finding as to whether or not Orton will respond. Randy Orton vs. Lance Storm would be interesting match. Only problem is that you may accidentally turn Storm back into a face by doing it in the States. I also like seeing Val Venis getting a serious air time as well. Good job on spotlighting these underutilized talents.

- I also like seeing Jerry Lawler fired and replaced with Don Callis. Don Callis is a great color guy and clashes well with Jim Ross.

You know, I can't find anything that I'll bash you on. Honestly, I've seen and read a lot of fantasy wrestling as well as looked around here. I want to start an EWR Diary here and I was told that this was the place to do so and by reading these diaries here, I can see that this place has a high volume of good writers here. Good job guys and good job Fitzy. So far, Fitz, you are the best writer that I've seen. Good job dude.

I have to ask, where did CM Punk (The Writer) go?
