New World Champion!


Have to say congratulations to Kane for winning Money In the Bank last night at the WWE PPV of the same name, and then successfully cashing it in to defeat Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship later in the night. Kane has been a company man with WWE since 1995, and been involved in some of the most insanely stupid wrestling stories ever conceived. He also hasn't won a world title (not counting ECW) in 12 years, and then he only held it for a day! 'Bout time them benefits kicked in for a consistent professional.

Dems vs Reps

The finest example of American politics at it's most (literal) wheel-spinning, and why the insane divisiveness and constant yelling by one side against the other (and vice-versa) is all our country knows how to do these days:

Personal responsibility over mandated safety. It's not national security, it's tire pressure.

Yes!


Won't have to look at this mug anymore!

Hope Barbara Walters is next, unless I'm happily mistaken and she's already retired. I hope I'm mistaken.

Monday Night Raw


Haven't posted in a while. Actually have a little down time at work today.

Wow, Raw was a giant walking path of turds only to trip over gold at the end.

It was watching a 1000lbs. fat guy shaving all his body hair off for 2 hours, 45 minutes only to switch over to lingerie models cooking bacon.

It was one of the worst Raw I've ever seen, ending with one of the hottest angles I've seen in a decade. Top 3 easily.

I don't even want to describe how bad the show was. It was almost like they did it on purpose so the ending would be that much sweeter. They had the A-Team cast (minus Liam Neeson) as guest hosts, which featured the dude from "District 9" (great comedy guy), "Rampage" Jackson (great fighter guy, and wrestling fan), and Bradley Cooper (borderline A-list actor) and manage to F*CK it up beyond all forms of sanity. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Then in the main event while Cena was about to beat Punk, the NXT guys beat the crap outta them two, Gallows, Striker, Lawler, Chimmel, time keeper dude, the ref, bald guy, the announce desk, and I'd swear they whupped that ring harder than anybody. It was a beat down unlike any seen since the nWo. Better than that I'd say because the average age of NXT is probably 24, whereas nWo was 117. Where's it go from here? Who else is involved? Why are these guys banding together? What they want? What does it mean for the PPV? What is that stupid thing Tarver is wearing on his face? Why is Michael Cole such a p*ssy? Whoo! I'm excited! Good stuff finally that may change the face of WWE, a company that hasn't changed hardly since 2002.

Comic Review


Brightest Day #02 - By Geoff Jones, Peter Tomasi, and Ivan Reis

Two of Jones' favorite writing "techniques" I tend to loathe are on full display this issue. 1) Yet another retelling of an origin that's been told a hundred times before. How does that not bore him? and 2) A vicious and gory, over the top murder scene. This one being a mother killing her husband and children then wearing their skins.

But she murdered them with Rock Band, so points there at least.
