10 thoughts on TNA

Horrible timing - my debut post on Impact coincides with the spellbinding two-hour finale of Lost. My Canadian guilt set in overdrive, so I used ancient Native technology and *taped* Impact to watch afterwards. It was retro fun night in Calgary.
1- I kind of like Booker T and Les Freres Dudley as [...]

10 Thoughts On ECW - 05.28.2008

1) I guess as long as Tommy’s getting jobbed out to guys, that it’s still ECW.
2) If The Gold Standard says that Kofi Kingston looks like a monkey man, is that racist? I’m very torn on this. He reminds me of Eddy Gordo from Tekken.
3) Widro’s right, I guess. The show is [...]

10 Thoughts On Raw - 05.26.2008

I actually watched all three WWE programs last week. I’m pretty sure I’ve never done that before. Is the Blog making me more in to wrestling or is quality of wrestling making me more in to The Blog? Stay tuned.

10 Thoughts On ECW - 05.20.2008

Matt Michaels, with tremendous forethought, IMed me at about 11:45 pm to do a column on ECW for Inside Pulse. Of course, I hadn’t taped ECW in about six months. Luckily for him, last Sunday at the Judgment Day PPV, Widro convinced me it was the best show I wasn’t watching. He [...]

As it turned out, there was just too much on television tonight. My DVR had to try and record a bunch of different shows and Game 7 of the Western Conference Semis (goddam motherf*cking Spurs) I spent times alternating between seeing Raw, basketball, and getting blacked-out by my DVR recording two things. As [...]

Orton knocked off by Triple H and other Judgment Day shenanigans tonight on Raw.

WWE Judgment Day - 05.18.2008

Just some bulleted thoughts… trying to take the Ken approach here and not read any reviews before posting.
- JBL/Cena was an odd opening match for me. I usually am of the school of thought that the first match should be something decent to get the crowd going with some energy. JBL/Cena is the [...]
