    It works in soap operas all the time.

    This is like that movie The Prestige, except with much lower stakes.

    I don't think Madonna remembers all the guys she banged this week.

    These guys don't see what the big deal is.

    So which one is really on Celebrity Apprentice?

    So was Ozzie really the one banging Jose's hotass ex-wife?

    Google at your own risk.

    One of my favorite tag teams of my youth. Always hated that they never got a run with the tag belts, especially considering some of the dreck that has held those belts through the last 15 years or so.

    And it makes you wonder. After Jose hurt his arm, maybe Ozzie subbed for him on a few occasions? After his six-plus years in Oakland, there was a relative power dropoff. He had 30 or more homers five times in his six full years in Oakland. But he only did it three times in the 10 seasons that followed.

    Yes. Ozzie appeared on the season of Surreal Life that Jose was part of. They did a softball game against celebrity impersonators, and Ozzie of course dressed as Jose. Some of the cast members commented specifically about the blinking thing.

    I am embarrassed to have sufficient knowledge to have typed that last graph.

    I always thought the Bees beat the Hart Foundation for the titles once, but nope. The combined might of Google and Wikipedia done proved me wrong.

    Nope. Strike Force dethroned the Harts and were in turn knocked off by Demolition.

    Well, I remembered the Bees beating the Hart Foundation using the switcheroo tactic, but it was in a non-title match.
    Also read a funny item in their Wikipedia entry about the time one of the Bees was unavailable at a house show and SD Jones subbed in. They used the switcheroo and the ref still acted like he couldn't tell who was who.

    Sounds hilarious. Would have been more so if the ref had been either Dave or Earl Hebner.
