12/23 WWE Superstars & TNA Impact!

I NEVER watch Superstars, but was home sick so WTF???

Lawler (61 fucking years old and still throws a dropkick!) & Scott Stanford open show. This Stanford dude is a GREAT announcer! Where the hell is he from? At one point he called a Saito suplex! Plus he has timing and knows how to be a straight man when Lawler reads his Henny Youngman jokes!!!

Woo Woo Woo Zac Ryder is up first vs Harry Smith. That Smith is strong as a fucking OX. He seems a little goofy though? I never met the kid, but he's a three inch taller version of his dad...Anyway, Ryder is straddled with that stupid gimmick, but if i made his money i'd do it too. I guess this show gives mid-card guys some time to work and get evaluated, as they gave these guys time. It's funny, if you disguised these two and put the same match on an independent show fans would write the observer to say, that they are future top guys, and the match is three stars. Yet working in a WWE ring, they'd proclaim D.H. Smith is being held back, and Ryder is horrible. Most "SMART" fans are truly Dumb Fans. Anyway, Smith goes over and the highlight was the long vertical suplex (which aint easy from either position) with some canned crowd noise.

They then show an NXT update where it amazes me how many stud athletes (and hot chicks for that matter) want to be WWE wrestlers!!! Some huge, tattood kid, dropped Diesel's name which made me laugh. With kids getting bigger, stronger, and faster, I think WWE will last forever.

Darren (Black Cena) Young & Yoshi Tatsu went against Rikishi's kids-The Uso twins...Another point is, Tatsu (nice guy by the way) would be a main guy on indy matches, and some would call him a "best in the world," type if he was with the right guy. They fail to realize that great matches are only one aspect of the BUSINESS. It's The Wrestling BUSINESS. I appreciate a great worker, but three 9 year olds want a John Cena T-Shirt. You feel me? Only a small niche (comparatively to who butter's Vince's bread) get in to classic wrestling, unless the two are OVER in WWE like Taker/HBK. That's enough, it's Christmas, the rest will be positive, sans a few jokes...Uso's have a cool ally oop Samoan Drop finish, and went over. It's funny, Vince seems to need a samoan on his roster at all times. I'm not complaining, as AFA might be the nicest guy I ever met, just saying.

They re-capped the Vickie thing with Cena from Austin. She has to have some thick ass skin (no pun intended) as she will be in an eternal clip from that night. People HATE her.

Matt Stryker and some other new announcer came out for the main event. A Diva's tag match with Beth Phoenix & Kelly Kelly vs LayCool. I could give two shits about women's wrestling as nobody is going at it like Jaguar Yakota vs Lioness Asuka that were better than most men, but God Damn!!! All the hot girls growing up want to be wrestlers!!! It's like the Bizarro World? Beth Phoenix is portrayed as "The Glamazon'' and not pushed for being sexy, but I guarantee you, if you saw her at a bar, you'd shit yourself at how hot she is...Anyway, Laycool did the job. Mccool doesn't need implants, as she is frigging awesome looking and a good worker to boot. Kelly Kelly is ridiculously attractive, and still hanging in with the Barbie Doll looks. Bumps hurt people, your body gets used to them, but they hurt, and I would have never figured Kelly to last this long. Kudos. And Layla was a Miami Heat cheerleader. I forget the match, as I just dig the chicks.

Then it was time for TNA Wrestling...Immortal opens with Flair & Bischoff on mike. Didn't they hate each other's guts for years??? Then Matt Morgan comes out to do a P.S.A. for concussions. Dunno where they are going, but neither do they-Hii-Yoooo!!! Anyway, Morgan is the most gifted dude that just can't get over. I can't figure it out? Foley comes out to a huge pop and defends not wrestling with a concussion! Flair & Bischoff said what they had been saying and thinking of Mick for years in an AWESOME segment for those "in the know." The insider talk doesn't do shit for the ratings, but I'm in that small niche that I insulted earlier who loves this shit. Foley was bested by Flair & Bischoff which is a first as Mick is a GREAT talker.

They have a bunch of vignettes that I won't talk about but I think are pretty cool. The product is much different than WWE, but not as appealing to the mainstream. I wish Mcmahon would buy them out too, and not squash it. People watch WWE for the company name. They have so much talent in their locker room, that it's a crime nobody cares.

Jeff Jarrett is doing the funniest old school mock gimmick of MMA that reminds me of Memphis meets Tuesday Night Titans. It's obvious he's done some MMA, as he does know the moves, but incorporating it into pro wrestling and building to a payoff with Samoa Joe is hillarrious. I wish people would at least give this a chance, as it's CLASSIC. He challenges Amazing Red, and then the heel cornerman puts vasoline in his eye, so Jeff can squash him and put the anklelock on. Great stuff. He then runs around the ring like a UFC guy. Funniest shit I've seen in years.

Jay lethal joins the desk, and sucks as a commentator!!! The reason I say that, is he was soo awesome on the mike doing Flair & Savage. It was suprising that it didn't translate, but anyway they had a four way with Robbie E (I think Rob Eckos that Tom Brandi got a job, but that's just a guess) who does a Jersey Shore gimmick vs Frankie Kazarian (who's married to Traci Brooks that I just met and she's way good looking who's a guy who has "it." I think) vs both members of Generation Me. Generation Me/Young Bucks look only 16 and though talented, seem like backyard gymnasts. Imagine if Bradshaw was sharing a locker room with these guys??? Ah, I have to stop, I said I wouldn't disrespect the next generation...They had a spot filled match where Kazarian won...Kaz is a good looking dude (no homo) and Brooks is way better looking than I previously thought when I saw her in person. If they have a kid, look out Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie.

Back to hotness, Sarita (who was never portrayed as good looking, just a good worker) attacks my favorite female on Planet Earth~Velvet Mother Fucking Sky. I'd blow Chris Sabin, just to get a taste of her, but anyway, they did a pretty convincing backstage chick fight to take Velvet out of the title match!

That angle set up Angelina Love and her lesbian stalker Katie Lee Burchill to beat Tara (love brunettes) & Madison for the straps. Again, who cares (though Tara can wrestle) but they all look great.

Doug Williams vs A.J. Styles was next. Again, WWE crowd would be getting popcorn & Cena shirts, but these two put on a frigging clinic. I only wish I could do one tenth of what these guys did. The chain wrestling was remarkable. Ended in a draw.

Show ended with a four way RVD, Beer Money, Machine Guns, Jeff Hardy, Morgan, and I dunno? I fell asleep. good show for smart fan perverts like me, but the ratings clearly state that TNA says to mainstream, "You can't see me!" Till next time.

The Jim Florentine Roast to benefit Greg Giraldo's family!

What a strange day? Longtime friend and co-promoter "Big Jay," of Big Jay & TR Productions rolled up in his kick ass SUV around 4pm.

We get to Rev Bob Levy's and there is some dude there with him??? He turned out to be pretty cool, but the story was that the guy won a contest on Levy's podcast that very day and the prize was to go with us to the roast! I kinda thought that was a little odd for Bob to give a total stranger his home adress, but that's just the way he is. He's very fan friendly.

I had a net worth of a whopping 50 bucks (worst financial era in my life), and knew alcohol would enhance my evening, so I asked Bob where a beer joint was for a white trash six pack for the ride move. It never happenned as we were running too late, but created a lot of fun shit talking on the way. In the most fucked up part, Bob has not drank in quite a while and is on kolonopin (I am too, but still drink when I want a personality) and trying to improve his life.

We get to New York, and I told Jay to put Comix in his GPS, and I assumed a veteran of the NY scene would know the club is spelled with an X at the end, as opposed to Comics. Well, we end up on 23rd street, in a parking garage where nobody spoke english! We go upstairs and find comics, a fucking comic book store and it's near showtime!

Jay, after Levy & I break balls a bit storms to the lot looking pretty angry, and the dude is still 6'5" and 300 something pounds to "get his fucking car." He was in full Kraiza mode as these three hispanic dudes would not give up the car without 30 bucks, when we were only there for 5 minutes! He was about to punch through the glass at the guy, and Levy says, "whenever you are in a hurry, you can never find a good spic around?" It was really starting to get ugly, and Rev threw 30 bucks at another dude and screams get the fucking car now asshole.

We head toward the destination of 14th & 9th, and got there like 8:00 pm. Missed the drink specials, so my white trash six pack that I never got came back to haunt me. The cheapest beer in NYC is seven bucks! It takes me at least ten to feel a buzz (pathetic I know, but just being honest), so Jay says it's on him. Never say that to me when I make up my mind to drink.

Levy hops right into a chair with who I believe were The Cringe Humor Guys, after VH-!'s Eddie Trunk got done is segment.

I see budy Geno Bisconte, and He, Jay, and I rap about pro football for a bit. The other dude Bob (the fan guy was there too, but didn't know Geno) was silent. Levy & Geno go to smoke and I briefly saw a facebook friend that I've heard is a great comic & has a wrestling backround Ryan Maher. We shook hands, and I had in my mind to bullshit with him later, but as the night unfolded it never transpired.

It was a 38 dollar donation, but Giraldo gave me more than 38 dollars worth of laughs over the years, so it is what it is. I would think his family got a nice chunk, as it was almost capacity.

We crammed our asses in a table as Jay & I looked like bald sardines. Waitress was avoiding us like the plague, as I guess we looked like two fat fucks who also drink a lot.

Show started late, but The Dais was announced. There were no black comics, as Sherrod Small, Keith Robinson, and the rumored Patrice O'Neal did not come? This opened up tons of black jokes (I know my non comic friends are sensitive to slurs, but in comedy it's common), but the crew up there would have done them anyway as they've all been friends for years.

I was wondering if two things would get touched? One was Artie Lange, and the other was Greg Giraldo. Answer was many comics " went there " and even did a Bob Schimmel joke! In the real world it's callous, low class, and shunned, but if there is an afterlife (or in Lange's case, if he were there) they would laugh as they know it's a goof. It's hard to explain, but damn near anything, if anything at all is off limits.

I actually can't rank or critique guys that are all better and more succesful than I, as I only had two joke go over well when I roasted Ed Mcgonigal & John Kensil a few months back, but there were certainly some better than others on this night.

Rich Voss was Roastmaster and busted the balls of nearly everyone. He said, " Geno Bisconte's calender has more holes in it, than Artie Lange's Torso! " Great set.

Then they focused on an empty chair on the dais which was designed to imply that Giraldo was there in spirit. Nice touch, followed by a video of Greg at Comix doing a set, and some of his best Roast lines from Comedy Central. Voss said it was incredible and it got the biggest ovation of the night. It really sucks that he's dead if you think about it, and only 44!

His roast writing partner Jesse Joyce (who I had never heard of at that point) opened and said something to the effect of, when he heard he was gonna share the dais with that crew he felt like taking as many pills as possible and killing himself. He was alluding to Giraldo's allegged suicide. So, if his writing partner went there, I guess he knew Greg would appreciate it. His set seemed to suprise people, as he killed, and it appeared not many of the guys had previously worked with him.

Don Jameson (rocking some odd sideburns) was next. As I said, I have no room to critique, but his first few jokes were pretty weak from a guy of his talent. I took a piss at this point, but the audio played throughout Comix. He did finish stronger than he strarted. My guess is, he's a fixture on VH-1 and his true passion is Heavy Metal so he didn't prepare as much as back when he would roast people on Howard Stern.

Eddie Trunk followed, and is not a comic, but is probably in the highest tax bracket there? He was not real funny, but again he's not a comic

Then came Jim Norton. This fucking guy killed with his twisted humor. He even got a dated Terry Schiavo joke to work which is impossible for most in 2010. He got the biggest applause of anyone, and was very, very good. The only thing negative, was he started a theme of making it a Levy roast, and Levy had confided some personal shit to he and Colin Quinn the night before, and I (for once in the know) wouldn't have went there, but Norton is a genius, and is on Leno so who am I to say. He destroyed.

Bonnie (I married Rich Voss) McFarlane followed and did some great busts on her husband, but defended it by telling the crowd to look what she had to pick from. She called Norton so ugly that she's gonna sew her vagina shut. Funny chick.

Florentine's Fat Entertainment Lawyer Tom Catoral (I think?) was next. Again, not a comic so he was not very funny. He basically told old Florentine stories which were funny to those two, but a bore to the crowd.

Reverend Bob Levy was next. He did not show it, but his anger was in full swing by this point. Whoever set the lineup told him he was on second, and he had to nix jokes that were already used, plus he's going thru some serious shit in his life, but being the true pro, he did what you'd expect from Bob and had a great set. He was unhappy with it, but realistically, Norton was the only comic that got a bigger ovation when announced...I wish I was at liberty to tell specifics as to what is eating at Bob, but it's not my place. He has a legit reason to be angry, but that's all I can say.

Otto & George (ventriloquist act) were next. All night, it seemed they were either late or disappearing, as the dais would make jokes, but they weren't around? I pissed again, but I don't think they (calling a wooden dummy they?) had a great set.

Dino, who is the owner of The Uncle Vinny's comedy franchise was next. I can kryptically say he was no Jim Norton, but an Italian Club Owner, who had enough pull to get stage time among those heavy hitter's is probably powerful enough to have me in a carpet in Hoboken, so I'll just say. "well done."

Next was Eric Mcmahon, who I'd never seen. He was funny, but time constraints were now eveident. He again nailed Levy, and as I said nothing is off limits at a roast, but it made my table uncomfortable. Good set though.

My buddy Geno Bisconte who also went from 7th to 14th in the original order in this trainwreck that was only saved by the massive amount of talent involved, did a great set considering his positioning. Levy and I joked on the way up, that he'll get an Anne Frank mention in, and damn if he didn't!!! Sorry Geno, but that one referrence is predictable. Don't verbally kill me now, cause I know you can.

Then Joe Matarese had the last spot before Florentine. Considering his positioning, and the fact that I'm not that familiar with his work, I thought he hit a Grand Slam! Very Funny set going 15th, when crowd should have been burnt out. I'd like to book this guy someday.

Jim Florentine closed, and was tremendous busting on everybody. I used Jim as a headliner in Delco, and he brought a kid named Chuck Mig and I thought Chuck was actually stronger than Jim on that night, but Florentine was clearly prepared, and had an awesome set to close. He's definitely earned all his success.

Recurring themes of the night, were Levy's sobriety, Trunk being fat, Jameson riding Jim's coat tails, Voss' teeth ( even though they've been fixed to normal size ),  Florentine's big balls, and Norton's being creepy and ugly.

As "homer-ish" as this may sound, and as great as it was, my Philly buddy Mike Rainey had a way better set at The Mcgonigal/Kensil roast than anyone at Comix!!! He should be considered for these events in the future. in this forum he's as creative & vicious as anyone who's ever did it. That includes Giraldo, Jeff Ross, Lampanelli and the crew from this occasion.

I had a good buzz, via Big Jay's mac card, but I was rolling with The Good Reverend who was in the first bad mood, I'd ever seen, so no shot at an after party and networking or shooting the shit with some of my comic heroes. I give credit to Rich Voss for calling Bob as we were on the way home, as word got back that Bob wasn't real happy. And not for nothing, Rev has helped most of those guys when they first started, and now while he's a bit blackballed, he should be supported. i hope I don't get heat for saying too much.

Overall, it was not the event that would shape my future in comedy promoting or performing as I'd hoped, but was for a great cause, and I wouldn't change a thing.

November 1st RAW stuff!

Before I get into that, I saw the edition of Howard TV with DDP & Chuck Zito. I dig that Page is all positive and what not, but don't go on a national show and talk carny you fucking mark. You aren't at the Power Plant...Also, What a BADDDDD Idea,to have The Machete dude, Tank Abbott, Page, Zito, and ??? get a show similar to Bully Beatdown but as a five man Motorcycle Club? In my very small area in a philly burbs, there's two clubs that would KILL those five and everybody involved with the show. They are about 1,500 deep between them, and it aint Sons Of Anarchy, so stick with the Yoga cuz. You had a hot wife though, and a cool finish that you stole from Johnny Ace.

Now onto RAW. Stone Cold Steve Orton opens the show. I wonder if he's still the most popular human among gay guys, now that he's sleeved? When he's coming off injuries (and off HGH) he's skinny as shit, but always has huge quads? Anyway, he calls out Cena (what's this the Davis Arena in Louisville on a Wednesday Night?) who comes out and decides that he'll get fired, and come back under a hood as UVALDE SLIM! Nah, I'm so 30 years ago. They had a fun little deal with Orton, Cena & Barrett (who IS running with the ball he's been handed) who was backed by his crew. Rotundo & Windham's sister's son Husky Harris looks like he'd be fun to hang out with? I see whiskey, titty bars, and brawls with that kid. Not X-Box like the rest of the new bores.

Harts lose to Justin GAYbriel & Heath (I'm a disgrace to the wrestling name) Slater. I think I'd be a jackoff and sucker him if I saw him? I just hate to see a guy like that making money and getting a push. T.J. Wilson looks jacked up, and is a hell of a worker. Harry Smith (remember when he was gonna date Brooke on Hogan Knows Best?) is a monster without chemicals. It reminded me of Dynamite's book, when he said he ribbed a steroid curious Davey Boy, and injected his ass with milk, and Davey told him after how much the shit worked! Anyway, I don't know what they have planned, but I hope both Hart kids get a shot. I actually hope Teddy gets his head straight, as that kid is incredible to watch, but hear he's a dickhead? The only bad thing was a total indy spot where Harry got in position for Tyson Kidd to accidentally dive on him.
I like the way Gabriel sells the ribs after he does the John Kronus finish.

R-Truth had a skit with Cena, that was odd but revealed later.

Commercial pushed Cover Band Looking Singer Edge vs The Mexican JBL for Smackdown. That beaner would kill me, as he's a shooter, but damn he sucks.

Captain Lou Albino (who supposedly trained a bit at Monster factory in 2002, and I hear is strong as fuck in the gym) challenges Santino (lost his title as funniest wrestler to Eric Young) Marella. Santino sends Kozlov down to work Sheamus and it blew, but I strangely like that locked arm-headbutt move by Kozlov. I wanna do it to somebody's nose in real life. Anyway, Sheamus goes over, Santino shits, and Morrison makes the save.

R-Truth & Orton have a skit (Wow this is historical, an NWA/TNA champ is teaming with a WWE champ! Not quite as cool as if Billy Graham did it with Harley Race when I was a kid) and form a team to face Wade & I Love New York.

Pee Wee Herman, Mark Henry, and some divas played twister in the moment where I almost overdosed realizing I'm gonna be 41 and still watch this. It set up a Lita cameo. I guess she felt like fucking Edge and was in town?

Zach Ryder got squashed by Ahmed Johnson clone Ezekiel Jackson. That's one Big Mother Fucker I'd hate to be my "celly."

Pee Wee comes down (aka Paul Reubens who got caught in a jackoff theatre back in the day) and shakes all fans hands. Guarantee the perv had some DNA on those hands from a glory hole on Long Island pre show. As usual, Miz interrupts the celebrity (along with future star Alex Riley) and even though with Jericho gone, Miz is the best heel, I'm a little tired of people overusing the word "REALLY." Anyhow, Big Show is Pee Wee's cousin. ( Isn't he Smackdown, and also I can't recall a clean job he's done in ages) and wrestles Miz. Only logical finish was the DQ. I guess they are trying to push Show's movie Knucklehead on The A show?

Old celebrity hosts put over the company, as a subconscious push for Linda votes in Connecticut.

Otunga does a damn skit too! He's married to Jennifer Hudson, has a kid and all that, but if that aint a down-low brother that will be on Oprah in a few years, I don't know who is. He's effeminate as hell, and a TERRIBLE worker.

Dead Dibiase (a notch below David Flair in not filling dad's shoes) with Maryse (I'd really bang that Pat Patterson talking diva) take on Daniel Bryan Benoit. When they let Danielson go vs guys like Ziggler, Miz, and Ted you can see why he got the rep. He's good, just no charisma yet. Anyway, Dibiase has been reduced to breaking up Goldust's wedding on the internet show with Ox Baker, or whatever her name is? He and Cody beat HHH & HBK and he STILL can't get over???

Undertaker's old lady and Layla bash Neidharts daughter and they worked a pretty damn good match! Mccool is perfect, except she needs the fake cans to be top ten. Just my opinion, but Layla kinda sucks.

They show who I think was Freddy Prinze Jr.as a doctor and Vince in a coma. He puts over Linda's campaign in a comedy skit, with Blumenthal stuck to his ass. Some funny comments, then show Steph talking to the unseen HHH who said it was all a dream as dad is brain dead.

Then they had the tag match with Cena as ref. I never watch the finish, as my dvr goes out, and I'm either watching Monday Night Football or World Series. I already busted on the five people involved, so who cares. That's a rap, rasslin fans.

October 18 RAW and life!

I am as sick as I can ever remember??? Can't even sleep, and I want to work at The Historical Eastern State Penitentiary for my role as a dead janitor at Terror Behind The Walls. This is the most fun I've had at a job since working for The 76ers, just hope I feel better for Tuesday's Haunt.

RAW opens with Teddy Long! Teddy used to ref for Jim Crockett, and made a career in the business without ever being an active wrestler. Nice guy too. When I introduced him to my daughter, he asked her about school and shit that a normal guy would.

Anyway he bring down his team from The Smackdown show that nobody watches. He first gets in Michael Cole's face, and disconnects the gimmick computer commish...Team consists of Big Show  (whose movie knucklehead looks funny, but i am high on nyquill) Edge, Dos Caras Jr. aka Alberto Del Rios who did shootfighting prior, but I think blows as the mexican JBL,Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger (fresh off Kidd Chris show appearance), Tyler Rex (good prospect who got repackaged), and Rey Mysterio.

Miz (The new Jericho apparently) comes out with Alex Riley, and does a shitty promo for him introducing his squad C.M.Punk (not blonde as I'd heard, but brown), John Morrison, Santino Marella, Returning powerhouse who can't work Ezekial Jackson, and Sheamus.

An all way brawl breaks out, and I'm typing this going, " What The Fuck Do I Watch These X-Box playing kids for? " Raw pulls out (coincidentally my way of safe sex) and Show challenges Miz.

You know what, WWE blows right now or I'm getting too old? I am deleting this garbage off my DVR.

Friday, October 8, 2010

Rasslin catch up for my millions of fans!

It would be great and more entertaining to detail my real life, but unfortunately it's in a transitional period. The translation is my $$$ sucks Giant Cock right now, and I DON'T wanna go back to the thug life.

Anyway, segment by segment isn't gonna happen, as I'm going by memory.

Saw Hell In The Cell, and really loved it other than The Taker vs Kane deal. Paul Bearer actually "popped me," on the prior Smackdown, so I thought the two grizzled vets would produce. They did not! I don't know what the lighted urn, heel turn shit was supposed to look like, but it came across as High School gym shit.

Swagger vs Edge was solid. But The Mexican JBL Alberto Del Rios just bothers me. Not in a good way either. I'm guessing it's Dos Caras Jr. (?) as I don't read the sheets anymore, but he's flat as a fucking pancake. If it broadens their audience in hispanic countries, then cool. As far as American TV, he really is a channel changer at this point.

Miz, Morrison, and Bryan did well to open. Three totally different wrestlers, but all seem to genuinely love the business. Good to see Bryan go over clean. Kudos to Miz.

I remember Bryan had a shaved bald head, and appeared muscular. I wish he'd go back to that, as he's seriously got a charisma problem.

Orton vs Sheamus was good. Orton is over as hell, but less people watching, you have to look at who's on top.

The Highlight was the UNTHINKABLE! John Cena loses to Wade Barrett ( with help from Mike Rotundo & Curt Hennig's sons ) to be forced to join Nexus. I guess Otunga can move to Chicago. Very good booking.

I think the only thing I'm forgetting is Laycool in a no contest with Natalya. Bad finish, but Mccool can work.

Next day is Raw, and damn if Cena didn't stiff the fuck out of Tarver. I Love this angle as Cena may come out of it with the respect he deserves. Shots of non plant fans ( kids ) crying tells me that this shit has some legs.

Sheamus destroyed Daniel Bryan, so I have no clue why they by proxy stated that Sheamus is two leagues ahead of The Miz who in the long term scheme of things should be the top heel???

Goldust is the mystery in the Maryse/Dibiase deal, and he's in love with the belt? For all the good that The Cena thing might do, this drops Ted even lower. I love Dustin, but he's too old, and more of a Finlay, Steve Regal type to help teach the young bucks, but not on fucking TV. House shows are fine, but program will suck, and Ted may be the next David Flair.

On to TNA which was actually better this week going live on 10/07! The Ric Flair vs Mick Foley ( considering the age of Flair and limitations of Foley ) was the most enjoyable match (for me) in quite a while. These two tore the FUCKING house down.

Next, the real Beautiful People got their gimmick back. Holy get the lube out batman!!! Velvet's outfit could not have complimented her better. This sparked a reason to show Micki James, as she's part of 10/10/10.
I think if James had a few drinks, I could nail her, as we both are into the same shit. Maybe someday we'll see if I can be her rat?

Abyss opened with a horribly acting Dixie handcuffed to him. She should have been crying and all kinds of shit. He is great. It's all about how they book him, but he's doing his best to run with the ball.

Sting, Pope, and a seemingly unhappy Nash had a deal with Bischoff, Pope & Joe. I have no clue where this is going, but I don't think there will be a payoff which is mindboggling.

Eric Young is REALLY entertaining. His team with legit bi-sexual Orlando Jordan is light years ahead of Santino & Kozlov. Young to me screamed mid carder, when he lead the Global Group months back, but as a guy who got dropped on his head too much, he may be a funnier player than Santino and that's heavy praise.

Ended with a Battle Royal, but I fell asleep. Again, I can't say enough about Flair vs Foley. This should have been on PPV if anyone knew that it would be this good.

TNA Impact 9/23/2010

Montage of Bischoff, Hardy, and Dixie saga. Uh, cool i guess.

Rob ( I'd get cut by Steve Kiern in FCW ) Terry comes out. This guy was trained by The Dudley's, and I know Hogan's archaic brain had to see him and say, " When my back gets better, we're gonna draw money brother, " but he's just AWFUL. Anyway, he wrestles Abyss ( they have booked him well in my opinion ) and I was reminded of Flair/Steamboat with all those edge of my seat near falls. Abyss is DQ'd for using the rail. I wonder how many rails are used at the hotel after the tapings? Anyway, the top heel can't pin the freak as that might hurt his heat for Mainia 50, when Hulk is ready to draw that money.

RVD (looking like he was in a house fire) limps to the ring and demands Abyss from Bischoff. E.B. gives the match to him for 10/10/10. Funny, Van Damn looks like Stan Hansen told him he would if he kept working that style. You gotta give those Michigan boys credit though, as they know how to sell.

Pope wants in the PPV main event, and tells Bischoff he's held back. He also calls E.B. a conman. Well, that is the truth. He was a commentator, and conned Ted Turner out of millions. Wrestling has always been based on a con, and I'd say E.B. is one of the best ever. After a skit he set up Pope vs Joe.

Lacey Von Erich flips out, which was cool to see she's learning. Even Velvet & Angelina kinda popped.

Jeremy Buck (the older looking one who could pass for a high school senior) goes against Chris Sabin. Max gets sent to detention for interfering by the Hebner kid. Sabin sold a neck injury, and gave Buck the whole match (guess I'm not the only one who doesn't buy The Young Bucks) then pins him with a roll. Max came back and they Orton syle DDT Sabin to get heat. They'll undoubtedly have a good match, but please bring Nigel & Brutus back.

Pope & Jarrett do TNA Reaction style promo's about being held back.

Velvet Sky & Lacey face El Gran Hamada & Taylor Wilde. Hamada gets some ass again. I think he wants to bukakke Taylor. Oh, that's right, it's not him it's his daughter. Anyway, Hamada & Lacey had some moments where two second generation wrestlers were in together, although not acknowledged by Tenay to my suprise. Yeah, I stopped looking at Velvet's ass for a minute, and it was clear that Hamada is the only one who could work with the WWE gals. Madison Rayne  (who looked MUCH hotter in jeans) thumped Lacey with Tara's helmet. Taylor gets the win, and Angelina chases Madison. I don't care if they are Jaguar Yokota or not, their hot.

Dreamer & crew arrive. I hear Stevie is doing a fitness blog on TNA's website which is pretty cool, as he's never looked better and he's like my age.

Very nice Jesse Neal vignette. I wish the kid didn't do the mohawk gimmick, as it kind of negates the feel good gimmick. As a shoot from me, I do respect every man or woman who served our country.

Dixie's in between Tazz & Tenay! Oh Boy, there's gonna be a major shake-up! What's that, the 27th in company history?

Joe chokes out Pope in what could have been a nice match, but was marred by Jarrett, Nash, and Sting's involvement. Unlike other Indy guys stepping up, Joe comes across like he belongs there (besides the bad body, but that's just his genetics) and he did work a hell of a match vs Kobashi. I'm a fan, I just hate his look, as mainstream casual money spenders would never buy him as a top guy.

Christy Hemme (who did Playboy in the fed, man that seems like eons ago) chases down Dreamer & crew, and he tries to put over lethal lockdown.

Mr. Anderson does the self intro, as Bob Holly is sitting somewhere with a shotgun and Anderson's picture on the target. You know, I give Anderson credit for balls. I heard he walked up to Brock Lesnar in a gym, and asked him how to be a wrestler. That's Chael Sonnen level confidence...Anyhow, he calls Kurt Angle to the ring and does a half shoot interview, as does Angle. Problem is, they didn't mention Jeff Hardy who's in the match with them? Makes sense.

They then show a Flair/Fortune pep talk, and they tell Naitch he's been "iced?" Seeing a 60 year old man kneel down and chug the vodka based drink is either pathetic or awesome??? Either way, good luck being The Governor of North Carolina someday.- See Linda Mcmahon

Nash & Sting try to get Pope to "snitch," which aint cool on the street. They then bring up Miss Tessmacher! I knew there was a reason they fly her in.

My old pal Sabu (who I think is 43 now?) takes on A.J. Styles in a ladder match. Tenay and Tazz put it over as a dream match. Maybe if Sabu was in his prime, and managed by TR SHOCK! It is, what it is. A bunch of dudes from both factions interefered, and James Storm ends up smashing a gimmicked bottle over Sabald's head and pushes A.J.'s ass ( literally ) up the ladder to get man advantage in Lethal Lockdown. A.J. is phenomenal. Sabu is still great for his age, but Razor vs HBK it wasn't.

RVD & Jeff Hardy (The Rock Stars) talk, then Abyss kills Hardy. He carries Jeff to the ring, which prompts RVD to come down and get his ass kicked. One thing that can't be denied is that Prince Justice (Abyss) from Deep South Wrestling has come a LOOOOONNNNGGGG WAY and can cut a great promo for a monster character. He's about to "slaughter" the fallen rock stars, and of all people Ink Inc. run him off. So much for him being scary if a rookie and a 170lber can stop him with two dropkicks? Oh well, I got to see Velvet Sky again.

Why would I even bother? WWE/NXT!

Before I start, there were lady wrestlers and personalities over the years such as Penny Banner, Fabulous Moolah, Mae Young, Sherri Martel, Missy Hyatt, Sunny, Trish Stratus and many more who were and in some cases still are extremely talented, but this era is all about eye candy in WWE, so I review this stuff as it's presented.

They bring out the short haired C.M. Punk to replace Michael Cole. Punk clearly needs his hair to seem like a "star."

They announce the rookies ( I thought there was eight? ) Kaitlyn ( nice thick legs ), Maxine (  Does a good promo, but has every friggin ethnicity and is unattractive through these eyes. ), Oxanna (sp?) who I loathe, A.J. ( who seems to pattern herself after Mickie James, without implants ), Naomi ( who will win, and has my jungle fever coming back ), and Jamie ( who looks like a female Paul Orndorff ) and they hit the ring.

Vickie Guerrerro does the heat magnet, " Excuse Me, " gimmick, and gets what I think is what was labeled X-Pac heat. I'd have to see the numbers, but I see no reason for her to be employed. I assume Vince is taking care of her, due to the untimely passing of her incredible husband Eddie? Lay-Cool joins her to smarten up Kaitlyn, and bury the Bellas, which prompts the incredibly pretty Kelly Kelly to make a six woman challenge. Punk was burying the show the whole time, which I guess is the plan???

They play fucking musical chairs ( yes Punk & Cole this is bad ) and A.J wins, but Naomi's big ass knocks her out of the seat. Just silly, and reminded me of the ornery black kids butting in front of the timid whitey's at Chuckey Cheeze.

They show a jacked up Oxanna ( who's Lithuanian ) and I'm sickened by her! She's with Arnold Swarzenegger in the video. Goldust comes in, and they do an angle where she's going to get deported. Guess Dustin is over Terri Runnels? Anyway, my mother-in-law ( sorta ) is Lithuanian, my ex is half Lithuanian, my daughter is a piece Lithuanian, and some blonde I wanted to bang at an old job is, but I hate Oxanna for some reason?

Punk was not in character and in no way a heel other than burying the show.

Alicia Fox's music plays and she comes out in a dress with Maxine. I like Alicia. Then Primo comes out with A.J. They said last week A.J. was homeless at one time? She's got a hell of a lower body, for a street broad, but needs the fake wagons to be a true diva. I think A.J. wins, but this show really sucks so bad that I forget.

Michael Cole comes out as a full fledged heel, and calls his fans, " The Cole Miners." He returns to his chair and embraces Punk, and kinda shuns Josh Matthews. I'm thinking Raw GM again.

Matt Stryker announcess a promo contest and everyone sucks, and A.J. wins. By default I guess, as only She and Maxine stayed on topic.

The 6 woman main event was next, and Naomi ( kinda like a bangable Kofi Kingston ) hung with Mccool which at least showed she's the best worker. Naomi pinned Kaitlyn for the finish, then Vickie & Laycool laid her out. I guess they are gonna keep all these gals, but Naomi is the only one that can work, and Maxine is the only one who can talk.

I could make this a watchable show, if given the chance. WWE writers apparently can not.

TR

Monday Night Raw for September 20th!

Really wanted to do a Night Of Champions deal as my old buddy Tammy ( aka original diva " Sunny " ) was hosting at Fox and Hound Bar/Restaurant sorta near my house, but I was so hung over from The Roast the night before and the after goings on that I stayed in bed! FYI, Sunny looked Fucking Amazing in the pics she's been tagged in. I met her when she was 17 and I was 20. I LOVED her boyfriend Chris Candido who passed away at age 33, and met her current man who seemed like an awesome dude, so I would never disrespect, but if you google, " How should a woman look at age 37? " Tammy's picture will come up. I wish I had a Tammy.

Back to business. Show starts with Stone Cold Steve Orton fresh off his title win. There's hope for me still, as he's successful and his entrance music stresses that he hears voices in his head too! HHH's "spotter" ( Oh, that poor Chyna is still broken hearted. She took a billion benadryl last night, and had to go to the ER ) Captain Lou Albino/Sheamus and does a faceoff where ( sorry Henny Youngman for stealing the joke ) but Ray Charles coulda saw the RKO coming! Sheamus looks even whiter, when the hair and makeup team dye his head and facial hair red. His spooge is probably tan? Anyway, I RESPECT every wrestler, but am not into Sheamus, but for the laymen both He and Orton are like 6'5" or 6'6" ! Dunno if Randy is a shooter, but he's believable as a tough dude. Michael Cole announces Hell In A Cell and period head smiles.

Hart Dynasty shows up on commentary and T.J. Wilson & Harry Smith should go to promo school. Cole was back to heel again and buried their charisma ( rightfully so, I guess Vince picked up on it and screamed through his headphones ) as The two shooters ( for real ) Kozlov & Santino took on " Dashing " Cody Rhodes & Drew Suckintyre who are new champs. Interesting, as I think they trust Cody to teach Drew how to fucking work. He looks like a million dollars, but BLOWS. Anyway, Santino ( funny mo-fo ) was in OVW and old buddy Jim Cornette slapped him ( a shoot ) as he didn't sell fear when Boogeyman approached and was being pushed as a nutcase ( although that's art imitating life ) and Marrella ( named after one of Vince's favorite people Gorrilla Monsoon ( real last name Marrella ) didn't kill the over zealous Louisville Lip, because he wanted a job. Another side note is that when myspace was all the rave, I requested Cody Runnels and told him I drank with his brother and Steve Austin, and read his old man's book on a flight. He was as nice as could be, and we talked about acting, wrestling and all kinds of shit. He signed with New York, and deleted me. Dickhead! I still am a fan and think he's underrated, and the champs went over. He's got his hands full mentoring Suckintyre though.

" Legendary ' will be at Walmart on DVD this week after only two dismal weeks in the theater. Cena outsells The Rock, Austin, and Hogan COMBINED in merchandise which is a big part of company profits, as children and women love him, but fuck the movies John. If you notice, he has a new shirt about every three months and they sell like crazy. That's WHY they can't turn him heel, even though he's booed by a good percentage of the fanbase.

I'm a full fledged John Morrison mark now. That wierd ass training is pretty rad.

Edge/ Zach Ryder have yet another segment? Ryder was with Hawkins as The Edge clones or whatever and had the straps a while back. I don't know where this is going, but with Edge always angry at the computer GM, I really hope it's not fucking Ryder, or TNA will be back to my favorite. Anyway, the continuously laughing new U.S. champ comes in Daniel Bryan/Bryan Danielson/American Dragon interrupts, and Edge challenges him. Ryder does a wrong handed L ( to infer Bryan is a loser ) sign on his head, but there's gotta be more to this than a new Santino if he's paired with Edge? Bryan has to stop giggling.

Jericho's music comes on after he lost clean last night, and has Fozzy shit all October? Cole says after the break that he re-nigged on his vow to leave if he lost after the first break between He and Morrison. Not as good as Morrison vs Sheamus. At one point Y2J clearly called a small package spot, which reminded me of his book " A Lion's Tale " where he relayed a story of telling Scott ( Razor Ramon ) Hall to do the same move, and the fifteen year vet at the time had no clue what the move was!?!? Hey Yo. Anyway, Chris still being a pro, put John over clean to that spinning, crazy, finish, ( starship some shit? ) and gave Morrison his second rub in three weeks.

Cena did a promo which was nothing special, but funny that he beat " The Murph," in Fantasy Football who I think is one of his legit real life friends if memory serves correct?

Miz is out next. He must watch tapes of great talking heels. If you saw him on " Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, " you'd realize he's anything but a real life heel, plus he was nice to my daughter and her friend Bree so i liked him pre push. He did the old school, I was injured going in, and never tapped out deal, and Cole sucked his dick at the announce table.

Edge came out first, and to correct myself he doesn't look like a long haired Dick Murdoch with the wellness policy friendly physique, but rather a cover band singer. He's still somewhat over though, but not enough for the pyro's. I bet Lita wouldn't bang him now. Then Daniel Bryan comes out to Star Wars or some shit? Something did not click here. Maybe Edge didn't want to give him nothing, or a clash of styles, but a guy ( Bryan ) that every indy fan gives 5 stars, had a rather less then average TV match! Alex Riley ( future top guy ) came out, plus Miz with a stiff backward neck snap off the rope, led to an Edge spear for the pin in I assume a non title? Cole got the email, and reversed the decision, and Edge went off. That's what makes me insanely think these Ryder skits might lead to an awful decision of Zack being GM? Woo Woo Woo, will be Wah Wah Wah...Miz and Riley then totally heeled the innocent, sympathetic, ( reminded me of a Ricky Morton beatdown for heat, but Morton knew how to get it over ) Bryan, and damn if Miz didn't potatoe the fuck out of Bryan with the slaps! Probably hidden aggression from when Benoit made Miz dress outside the locker room, or maybe it was Bryan's idea, as he is a tough kid. I hope this gets over. I was actually waiting for Lo-Ki/Kaval to make the save, but this was probably better booking. Miz has to be a football fan, as he slipped in a Ray Lewis burn at the booth.

Michelle ( I'm Undertaker's third wife ) Mccool let her partner Layla work with Melina and defend the belt as she did commentary. Probably a payback, as Layla got fucked out of the vidoegame roster. Anyway, I'm not attracted to Melina anymore. Layla pinned her by the way, but to more important things. Melina was " Smokin Hot " in Louisville, and she's getting a little hard looking and chunky for her age. After all the shit Mickie James caught for weight and releasing Serena, I think she should drop about 15lbs. She also, if I'm gonna be " street, " appears like her ring tights might stink if you feel me? Always  remember to wash your ass. I really don't have the friends in the big leagues that I did in the eighties and nineties, but still hear some gosssip. I think she dissed Morrison for Battista. I understand banging your way to the top, but I think if I was a broad I'd take John over Leviathon. Any ladies, i'd appreciate your opinion.

Jericho shilled his DVD to Josh Matthews ( who seems like a pretty nice kid who values his job and I respect that ) and he and Orton have a standoff for next weeks main event. *SPOILER ALERT-The crew is going to France, so they taped Randy punting Chris' head, so that's what you'll see next week and Jericho gets carried out and written out of TV for now. Unless he's working everyone and Abyss' "They" are Jericho, Jim Ross, Paul Heyman, and Matt Hardy. No chance, I just wanted to start my own rumor and see if it could fly.

They are working on a Maryse/Dibiase breakup angle. Ted just can't get over. Maybe someday? Anyway, Swagger seems to be one of her party buddy's so maybe he'll steal her, but R-Truth's new rap should be scrapped quicker than Kizarny. Why Killings & Eve too? I like Ron's work, but just go back to that " What's Up," shit. It was dopey, but over to the mindless.

Colts in the house. I think Cena's only male fans are me and NFL players. They all do You Can't See Me shit! He was supposed to work Wade Barrett, but they changed it to weed out The Nexus. I liked them as an angry wolfpack, but most need to go back to FCW, which is funny, because Jennifer Hudson wants to move David Otunga to Chicago when I think his demotion is coming in two weeks! Anyway, Heath ( Don't EVER confuse me with Dirty Dick ) Slater came in and Cena showed yet another feat of ridiculous strength, and worked it into the context of the match. he also threw a textbook dropkick at one point for all his haters. Pinned Slater. Then the totally lost Otunga ( back to I Love New York season 85, after Hudson dumps him with her new slim figure and he gets demoted ) got pinned quick Thank God! Next was Michael ( No I'm not Mustafa Saaed ) Tarver who is a little more convincing then the previous two, but he was exposed also. He was followed by Justin GAYbriel who I think has secured a job. After Nexus runs it's course, he'll end up on Smackdown as a face or something? He's good. They then all attacked...Cena & Barrett agreed to what will surely be the end of Nexus, but the beginning of a singles Barrett for Hell In A Cell. Cena will have to carry the shit out of him, although he has a great upside.

Overall a BAD RAW. That's why I wrote the extra stuff.

TR

Catch up!

Run on sentence details of insanity...Drank Thursday on Mike Stern ( he always looks out ) called every ex girl late, typical garbage...Wanted to sing some tunes Friday, Chachi & I went to Central park. Pete C was hoarse, so stayed home. Saw Richie & Michael Loro, plus MMA fighter Steve Mccabe. Did Not Drink, opted to chat with buddy Chachi & longtime friend Sandra C...Went home and thought of all great jokes for Saturday's Roast of Ed Mcgonigal & John Kensil...Called Rainey & Mezz when I woke up, Kensil got me on before Philly's wealthiest comic Joe Conklin ( who made me feel better about my terrible self esteem ) and before he started stated he loved my closing joke! Best part of the roast was Mike Rainey. Period. He DESTROYED. Proud he's a friend...Chris Morganti, Legendary Wid, Chip Chantry, Roger Weaver, Andy Nolan, Dennis Horan, and many others were incredible, and John & Ed closed the show really well. I was self hating, because I didn't destroy, but got great advice from Mezz, Rainey, Josh Bennet, Julie Smith most of the mentioned and the only other ex Septa comedy guy Mike Clemens. I lost the art of having fun on stage as the things I wrote were 90% top notch...Mezz & I went to T. gators, met up with Big Tommy, and after I thought I squashed my incident from weeks ago, stuff was brought up, tried to clear up with Chuck at Clifton Inn, and he wouldn't let us in...Got re-instated with a bunch of apologies at Columbus Club, and Mezz and some nutty chick exchanged words? Here we go again. I apologized for what I don't know (?) and the broad tells me her husband will kick all our asses??? Yes my ego, overrode my common sense, and I took personal that her husband would kill the three of us who's combined weight is about 850 lbs and Mezz is a black belt...Tommy left, Mezz & I followed, and talked and out storms the 90lb fireball. Her husband pulls up and pulls a knife with a cop watching ( thanks officer ) I let him know to put it away as it'd be the worst move of his life and he understood, but his wife slapped the fuck out of Mezz & I in the lot! I don't hit women, but Mezz and I should be enshrined for not curbstomping her and her husband...Be back to funny and good tomorrow, but decided to say to hell with this booze shit, and hit two AA meetings tonight with my old sponsor and a nice calm Denny's meal with Amanda who's a girl friend, who was a girlfriend. I don't know what we are now but I sure appreciated the company and the ear to listen to my bullshit. And I thank Danny Ozark for offering me to call him and discuss real life shit. Rainey & Mezz got my back too, no matter what I do.

TNA Impact!

I'm pretty sure Raw is gonna be the only thing I'll give my f'd up views on, as this was tough.

Show started with a montage of a VERY THICK Kurt Angle vs Jeff Hardy. Match looked great, and everyone says that Angle is the current HBK in that when you get done working with him, you clearly feel you were in with the best. He looked lean for a bit, but now looks to be gassed.

They opened with an Eric Bischoff w/ Miss Tessmacher ( who has a bad ass stripper body, but why fly her in when those chicks are a dime a dozen? ) who made a 3 way deal, but was trumped by Dixie Carter who made Angle face Hardy in the main event to see who works with Mr. Anderson at PPV. Dixie is a very wealthy, decent looking, southern woman, but stay in the back toots. You aren't Vince. These segments suck.

The Pope ( aka Elijah Burke from WWE, but more impressive Elijah Burke from OVW who overcame a ton of adversity in his life and that dude has my respect ) a face says wassup to Twitter King Kevin Nash, and Sting who are heels???

Then for no reason they show Tommy Dreamer getting gas. Actual gas, not the monster's that shoot out his fat ass.

Samoa Joe ( who was once thought of as the best wrestler in the world? ) with Jeff ( I stole Kurt Angle's wife, to prove pussy does make you crazy ) Jarrett vs Kevin Nash ( who looks awesome for 50 ) w/ Sting ( I am an evangelist like my brother, but if I get paid I'll do heel shit as God knows it's a work ) in a standard brawl. I personally know that Joe could murder me, but that fucking guy's body is atrocious. If I was Nash, I'd probably be tweeting I was quitting too. Anyway, I forgot who went over. The only thing I was thinking was Sting is still in good enough shape to have his only WWE run. Why not go? Work an extra year and work with Taker at Mania. It would draw, set him up for life, and he'd finally get his due respect.

Madison Rayne ( lookin kinda chunky ) sees Lacey Von Erich who's always in a towel? Lacey is highly disliked from what I gather ( especially from Taz ) but no doubt gorgeous, and also she lost her dad when she was like five or six? I was with her Adonis like father who was very troubled three weeks prior to his suicide. That shit at six years old had to be devastating, so I try not to say anything negative about her.

Nash ( looking like Bobby Duncum with his hair down ) and Sting get yet another vignette?

Hogan's favorite impressionist Jay Lethal goes over on Doug Williams for the X-Division Title! Now, first of all, Williams is a good/great worker, but why fly a guy in from fucking England. Unless he has frequent flier shit and trans' himself, is he really drawing any money or ratings? They are losing their TV in the UK, so I see no upside. Plus The Horsemen never had an English Dude? Makes no sense to me? Lethal is a feel good story, and from all accounts a good dude, so I'm happy for him, and his Flair and Savage voices are spot on.

Abyss is dragging someone who he later brands with 10/10/10 as "THEY ARE COMING?" THEY better deliver, or this company will be under within a year.

Knockout match had non hot lesbian stuff. Hamada smacked Taylor Wilde's ass. Eww...Then chunky Madison gave the always lovely & talented Victoria/Tara/Lisa Marie Varon a lip kiss. Tara always downplays her looks. This woman worked with Trish Stratus, and taught Diva's how to work, and is sexy to boot. Seems like the most underappreciated gal in the biz...Lacey did the job, and The Sickeningly Hot Beautiful People made the save. I can't imagine my old buddy Jason Knight sitting in his wrestling school and in walks Talia Madison, and says, " can you teach me how to wrestle? " Why didn't I stick around?????

Next came Tommy Dreamer in a suit. He gave a tearjerking speech straight out of The WWE Hall Of Fame to Fortune. I once called Tommy " The Innovator Of Incompetence, " in my column on Markmadden.com when he was killing himself in Philly, but I have to give the man props. All he is, is a fan that learned everything he could about wrestling and made a damn good living out of it. Anyway, Fortune attacked after the shoot style promo like The Horsemen! Who's the demographic is my question? You're breaking kayfabe and appealing to the internet & new people, and then try an old school angle? It kinda cancelled itself out to me. I am not a Russo hater, but I'd really like to book that group with all that God Damn talent.

Somehow Spanky Brian Kendrick is involved in his poor man's Brian Pillman deal and pins Matt Morgan??? What in the hell would you pin Morgan for? Kendrick can smoke all the weed he wants now, but having a push in the fed with Ezekial Jackson is a much bigger deal then making 1/4 your pay on a show that nobody watches. What are these kids thinking?

RVD did a phoner. He is over everywhere he wrestles, but he's kind of a deuche.

Then the worst part of the show. The Young Bucks/Generation Me who looked literally fifteen years old, do a heel promo on The Motor City Machine Guns. The fans didn't buy it. It screamed independent, and not in a good way, and can only hurt Sabin & Shelly. What on Earth did Desmond Wolfe & Brutus Magnus do to get out of that slot. Nigel can work his ass off, and they are believable opponents for the Guns who I think are The Next Rockers. That's very high praise from me, as they are in my top three all time teams...The Gen-Me kids are definitely talented, and deserve to do their circus shit on explosion till they gain some weight and look like wrestlers. I imagine half the crowd could kick their ass, and you don't want that. Bill Watts would strangle whoever put them out there, but whatever.

Then it was time for Hardy vs Angle and all I was thinking was if this was in WWE it could main event a PPV, and these guys gotta work in front of two or three hundred people. Match was great as expected.

I really can't watch TNA. For every good match, there is double the horseshit. Thet come her on September 24th, and I might wear a disguise just so I can see Velvet Sky in person and Kurt Angle work, but unless they get new creative, Thursday's I'll be searching for another show.

9/14/2010-9/15/2010

Guess I'm legit depressed as I felt like doing NOTHING?

I always heard depression can't hit a moving target, so i took the initiative to write a small set and head to helium. I haven't did stand up in a while, and was eager to hit the "big stage."

There was a lot of new blood, plus some old faces and I was the last one to sign in.

I actually took the fucking trolley from Darby by the way, and some black broad was having a screaming phone conversation annoying the whole trolley. I don't miss that job at all, well, seing hot black chicks regularly was cool, but otherwise it's a horrible life.

Anyway, I got way nervous for no reason as I did not make the cut which sucks. I wrote some pretty funny shit, and objectively there were about fifteen performers that bombed.

I wanted to perform and asked about city open mics and karaoke's? I did Quizzo, and fucking sucked, but met some people who took me to a fucked up "secret club!" It was out of a movie. Chicks making out, taking clothes off, techno music, all kinds of shit? I really felt like Louie CK in his finale, as I can't "rave"with 20 year olds.

Just crazy, and physically lost about 60 bucks? Don't know if it was the broads that took me, or I dropped it out of my pocket, but hopefully I learned the tireless lesson not to go out on a fucking Tuesday alone for no reason because I'm bored.

This set up today where I was only awake for the end of America's Got Talent, Big Brother, and a little bit of The Phils. Not Happy.

Moving backwards, 9/12 stuff!

My awesome daughter slept over which is great, but my insomnia heightens when another body is in bed with me! Only had two to three hours sleep.

Met my buddy for a loan, and I was super rich for the day.

Anyway, Joe ( the other Piss Boy from the 80's ) Lilly took Chris Mezzaroba, Chris Kraiza and Myself to the Eagles game. They picked me up at Penny's restaurant here I had breakfast with Mom, and the more beautiful by the day daughter Mary of mine. Oh boy, I'm in trouble.

We had a really nice time during the pregame tailgate reminiscing and drinking some beers. Hard to fathom we are all father's and 40? Where does the time go?

Enter the game, and a chick in her twenties started flirting with Chris K & I ??? She said she was in General Admission, so I acted as if the 6th row tickets were mine and offerred to meet her at halftime and she could sit with me. Chris discouraged this as he's married, but damn I goit Cialis! I forgot about it by halftime anyway.

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this years Eagle's team, and begged my boys to let me bet on The Packers (which was a winner) but they showed why they are real friends and talked me out of it, as they know I'd be betting every week.

While sitting, I saw NBA's top ref Joey Crawford sitting behind us! When I was younger ( like 1989 ) I used to drive him to the airport from the hotel I worked at, and we had some fun conversations. I used to tell him how I was involved in Indy Wrestling and he used to call me " Hulkster." He obviously didn't recognize me as I was about 120 lbs smaller without tattoos, but once I reminded him he was super cool. I grabbed a photo with him.

I also saw old neighbor Michael Hoffman in front of us, and caught up with him as well, and started a ridiculous alcohol fueled conversation with a young dude and his hot girl next to us, while observing Mezz as he was vocal and wearing his New Orleans Saints outfit.

Michael " dog killer " Vick who's a scum in my view personally is way better than Kevin Kolb and made the game competitive. I could care less, i was just enjoying looking at The Cheerleaders.

We then went to Chickie & Pete's where I was warned 4 times to not turn my hat backward! Which is wierd, because I never wear it that way, and I'm a bouncer too. Still can't figure why I kept doing that, but it was subconscious?

In rolled former Eagle Hugh Douglass & Tre Thomas! I got a picture with Hugh which was cool. One thing that impressed me was his handshake almost broke my hand, and while posing with him, he felt like he was made of concrete. Definitely would not want to piss that dude off.

Kraiza saw I was getting too drunk, so he left, and we hit a strip joint. I ( of course ) liked the black chicks. They got me a lap dance, but she offerred a masssage, so I took that. It's been awhile, so it was needed. I saw my old friend Gail (Gi Gi ) who now bartends there. She used to dance, and was supposed to go to one of my singing gigs, but the stars never aligned. Oh well, she's still hot for 40.

By then everybody was ready for home, but I had to go to Tailgators and hit on Val, to a point where I annoyed the fuck out of her. She's 25, and looks like Pam Anderson. I just can't accept that the young ones, don't want to bang a 40 year old when I'm impaired. She's a cool gal though, and I'm sure she knew I was over the limit.

I've been saying it, but this was one of my last hurrah's as I need to quit the drinking & gambling and put my life back together.

Monda Night RAW !

The show opens with a guy who's more into being a star than a football player, Chad Ochocinco. Actually there was a spin the wheel deal on a " gimmicked " wheel with John Cena & Stone Cold Steve Orton. They are supposed to face off in a tables match!

Anyway, Ochocinco does a pretty good promo to be interrupted by a better promo delivered by The top Heel in The Business Mike Mizanin ( aka- The Miz ) who is really embracing the top dog role and gave some shoot comments on Chad from yesterday's drubbing by The Patriots. This led to the obligatory E-mail fro the anonymous GM ( who I think will end up being Michael Cole or Jim Ross ) to spin the wheel and gee they set up a submission match with guess who? Daniel Bryan!!! He uses The Labelle Lock ( named after "Judo" Gene Labelle ) and in truth comes across as a 70's Bob Backlund with the lack of charisma. He was trained by Sean Michaels/Rudy Boy Gonzales and I respect his work, but I just wish he patterned his style after HBK and not that horrible human being Chris Benoit who murdered his wife and little boy years back before cowardly taking his own life. Well Bryan uses the Crippler Crossface ( Labelle Lock ) and Miz pulls some old school I'm hurt heel shit, and puts Alex ( I'm gonna be a star after I pay my dues ) Riley in his place and Bryan taps them both by the end and it was a good go home angle for the PPV.

Adam Copeland known to the world as Edge with his " I was named in the roid scandal a while ago, so now I'm starting to look like Dick Murdoch with Long Hair. " draws a bodyslam challenge from Evan Bourne. To show how little I know, I once walked by Bourne ( then Matt Sydal ) and C.M. Punk in an ROH locker room to see my old buds The Midnight Express and said, these two will never be nothing, because they are tiny. Anyway, Bourne is a great worker who reminds me of A.J. Styles. He lost a competitive deal with an awesome kick to Edge, but the GM made him do the slam deal with Michael Hayes drinking buddy Mark Henry. Henry went over?

So far wheel has been spun by Eve Torres ( bangable ), Alicia Fox ( more bangable ), Jillian ( marriage material, as she's just a gal from OVW who earned her spot and was not given it due to being a fitness model ), and the dissed Gail Kim ( not as bangable as her first run, but still hot ), and I will continue this hottie segment as the night unfolds.

R-Truth & Eve got a rap pop in a song and dance gimmick, as Maryse ( yes the WWE's hottest ) just saw a slutty photoshoot, and always see her Facebook pics that Jack Swagger is always in? Seems like a party girl? Ted sung My Way which was horrid.Faces went over. yeah, if Velvet Sky wasn't in wrestling Maryse would be my fave.

In what was a funny segment The Bella's spun ( might be bangable, but I can't get int them ) for a late 80's WCW Saturday Night bout of Regal ( still great facials, I mean Regal, not The Bella's in Vince's office ) vs Goldust where they have to look like each other.

Sheamus ( AKA Capt. Lou Albino ) did an anti Ocho deal where he called him fella. I'm not as into Sheamus as HHH is.

Backstage deal showed John Morrison doing that nutty training he does. Very impressive. Legit. I couldn't do it. I remember going to Louisville and i thought MNM ( Matthews, Nitro, Melina ) were the future of tag team wrestling. I miss them, but life goes on, and Melina doesn't look nearly as hot now in my opinion.

Big suprise! John Morrison vs Sheamus was an awesome match!!! Tonight might have been similar to when HBK threw Jannetty through the glass (or glass ceiling in this case) as Morrison was allowed to show what he can do. Smart finish of Jericho nailing Morrison with a chair. Great stuff.

Jericho was super heel ( contract in negotiations ) and a real team player. GM tells him he has to work with The Harts! Gotta be tough to focus for Nattie Neidhart with her old man going thru so much shit? Another good match in a cage. Jericho is working like a vet should. I guess he learned what not to do when he was coming up, and guys didn't want to lose their spot.

"Legendary" the movie Promo after an awful box office debut. I wonder who's doing worse from Lethal Weapon? Mel Gibson has buried his own career, and Danny Glover is doing movies with Cena? I think Gibson has a better chance on a comeback!. Just joking, I like Cena as a wrestler and a person

My man Pete Rose is in the house! Best heel ever who was not in the business.

Time for Cena vs Orton. Cena's been doing a bunch of chain wrestling lately and looks to be stretching the young guys which is cool if it's limited. Of course, the people that hate him would never notice. most of them don't even know why they dislike him. Guess John didn't feel like taking the Garvin stomp as he no sold and rolled away? Decent match, nice hype for Night Of Champions. I've been a big fan of The Nexus thing since the start. DVR cut off, but I assume Orton RKO'd somebody? He's super over.

Favorite Raw in a while.

Fantasy Preview by ME!

I am involved in both a heated Baseball matchup and invested in Week One of Football!

Firstly, the baseball is made up of mostly Philly comics, and I payed enough attention to squeek into the playoffs! Godson Nick Philips drafted my team, as I was stocking shelves at a supermarket, so I owe him for the good squad.

Anyway, i made some moves and it's tied going in to tommorrow. I fucking need Jeter, Posada, Ryan Howard, Polanco, Oswalt, Marlon Byrd, Figgins, Tori Hunter, and some other motherfuckers to do good? I also need to get two saves by either Pappelbon, Wagner or Brandon Lyon. I have to sit Lyon and go with the best team guys. I really want to win, because I'm really paying attention. Plus If I'm not funnier than these assholes, I wanna be better than them at Fantasy Baseball for Christ Sake's. Go team.

I also am gonna try to pay close attention to my Football Squad that features the "alleged " next Barry Sanders named Chris Johnson, along with Tom Brady, Matt Forte or CJ Spiller ( gametime decision ) and Dallas Clark, Wes Welker, and Brandon Marshall. I already used Ryan Longwell who got me a fucking three, and Jonathon Vilma who did have an INT! I also am starting Julius Peppers, and Eric Weddle. God knows the fucking scoring, as it's a Jammie Ward league, and all I know is when the season is over your ass is bleeding and you are broke??? My bench will feature Jake Dellhome, Dez Bryant, Braylon Edwards, and Santonio Holmes. I actually expect to win every week if I stay injury free.

I quit gambling ( besides Fantasy shit ) but I would put the HOUSE on Green Bay tommorrow. I don't see The Eagles coming within ten, much less three, but we'll see.

Too late to give a league wide overview, but if you can get a yearly bet in, take the under in Eagles wins. They suck.

9/11/2010

Was up late, and slept late on the 9th Anniversary of The attack on OUR COUNTRY 9/11/2001.

Before I slept, I felt compelled to post some youtube tributes on my Facebook. The First was " Have You Forgotten " by Darryl Worley, and the Second was Alan Jackson's " Where were you when the world stopped turning? " I personally was living in Folsom, working at Septa, in bed with my 4 year old daughter as my ex ( Big Mary ) was working at Automart. All in my world was awesome, but the footage was scary! I had second shift driving a bus for SEPTA and a lot of my peers called out sick in fear of unknown terrorism. I was assured that the cops were on high alert, and this scumbag ( my opinion ) named Hinkley gave me a fucking ticket on my last trip at 1am. What an asshole. I'd love to fight him for charity.

Anyway,  i woke up from the phone ringing today. It was my old loanshark, and I have to do business at this point. Not a road I ever thought I'd go, but it is what it is. He told me he'd see me between 6 and 7pm, so I jumped the gun and told my now 13 and 3/4 year old daughter that I'd be treating her like the old days tonight! I also talked Chachi into letting me bum his SUV for a few hours, or so I thought?

Well, Loan guy never answered his phone, and Chachi was unavailable so I had a rather pedestrian evening watching date night which featured ex classmate in Upper Darby high Tina Fey & Steve Carrell. Ended up making My Mother, Daughter and Myself laugh, so the night was a positive.

In between I watched The Phils lose, and The Braves win, so We are now tied atop the National League.

I did call young Pete Cannella to wish him luck in his performance tonight, and gave advice on the vehichle that is You Tube.

Regular day, not bad, but am peaceful watching my daughter sleep. It's been too long.

9/10/10

Slept late as fuck again. This has to stop. Yeah, I'm depressed about losing my job, blah, blah, blah.

Jumped on facebook, to see reactions to my scary posts. I only got a few. Shaun Thomas ( young buck who's always wanting to fight for a friend ), Pete C (who understandably wants to stay out of my work shit ) and Al ( who hosted the infamous TR comes out of the closet garbage ) who was real detailed and fucking great. If I'm ever accused of interracial face fucking, I'll copy & paste his reasonably sober account of that evening. After reading that, now I MIGHT blow him! That's a fucking joke you assholes, but a good guy nonetheless, and it really made me wonder why Mark would spearhead this smear campaign against me? I no longer feel I have to apologize to him, but vice versa.

Before long it was Phils vs Marlins time and the joy of watching Roy Halladay work. I also had to check my fantasy playoff stats which for some immature reason are relevant in my peculiar existence. Comics Aaron Hertzog, Pat Barker and Mike Rainey made the trip to Queens and saw the game live which had to be cool.

Besides that, had a good phone convo with Shaun Thomas, Chachi, and John Sipio. Wanted to go out and act a fool again, but did not, which enabled me to meet up with Frank Zampitella as a favor for Chachi.

Somewhere during this, I had a moment of clarity and gathered all my dirty towels ( only one from masturbation ) and also put all of my jeans in a trash bag and plan on actually doing laundry tommorrow!!!

My room is a tiny bit more presentable, and the fog is clearing a bit.

I did score two cialis a while back, and was wanting to Fuck like a twenty year old, so I reached out to a few gals. It dawned on me that I still have feelings for old flame Heather, so I called and had a nice conversation, but I actually respect her, so I didn't mention hooking up and opted to just shoot the shit. She and I met years ago, but dated at an awkward time for both of us, but it seems clear that she and I will be together again at some point, which may be unpopular to some, but we click pretty friggin good. We both have to make sure we are not boozing though, as that caused all of our problems on both sides.

Otherwise a very tame night for yours truly.

If these blogs continue to be less than amazing, I'll have to go into the archives. Bear with me, and it'll be bookmarked as one of your favorite reads, I promise, as there is nobody on the planet like me.

September 9th shit!

Was awake late due to having intense sex the night before ( or maybe it was my anxiety/ depression? ) but nonetheless struggled to awake at 4 fucking pm!!!

My grim realization that I had to be at my handy dandy pharmacist by 6pm turned me into a veritable crackhead as I schemed to get there...Note: My car got crushed by a former Move Member's tree since July of last year, and due to a suspended license and the piece of shit avoiding court and appealing the decision that I WON, I am in limbo till arbitration in November...So Mom ( who hates or is scared of doctors ) is having problems with " regularity " and I have to travel to Folcroft with Dear Old Dad again who murmured the F-Word as he called me a junkie, but complied.

My Pharmacist might be the coolest guy in the fucking world by the way.

Anyhow, was relieved to know I'm good for a month on the meds that keep my insane ass going.

Came home to a nice meal. I am blessed. Yes, I can live with two females if I want, but why leave right now and dig a further financial hole?

Anyway, was ultra pumped for The NFL debut! A rematch between Super Bowl Champs, The New Orleans Saints vs The Minnesota Vikings. In years past I'd have wagered illegally money I did not have ( see moving back home after you've made over a million in your years in the work force ) on The Vikes and would be down Money going into degenerate Sunday. I did not do that though, and posted on FB, and called all friends to see if anyone was watching this game sober. The answer was NONE!

Mom ( who probably has collitus (sp?) ) wiped up and had to go to bingo. She's the funniest old broad this side of Betty White, but needs to take care of herself. Anyway, this left me with the uncomfortable real life odd couple of TR jr., and Myself!

I tried to make a negative into a positive. I called My older sister, and asked if her husband was watching the game. I figured I could stand viewing it up there with The Old Man, My Brother-In-Law, and My Nephew, but No Way, as My bro-in-law didn't even know it was on!!!

He ( dad ) went up anyway, because my 9 year old nephew is his best friend, which I have nothing negative to say about, and I caved. I got a six pack of 16oz Coors Light, and tried the whole "watch the game alone thing."

Well, I quickly grew bored and called longtime friend Bill Philips who through miscommunication I had thought I had a rift with, but he encouraged me to try to get a dispatch job where he and buddy Jim L work. It's an idea, but a big step down from what I was doing which I'll get into later or another blog. Then he hit me with the bomb that two of my friends were spreading an embellished, but partially true story about early Saturday Night! He and wife Jen were told I went to a barbecue invited by "friends" Mark & Brian Sarkisian ( True so far ), and the host was gay ( also true ) and I started a fight with 20 year buddy Mark while we were both drunk, stayed at the party and went to the gay guy's bedroom and got naked??? In truth I had about a four hour blackout, but my ass don't hurt, and no feces on my penis, or DNA on any body part, so I was furious to put it mildly.

I had to contact the host, and thankfully he cleared up that fear that I love the cock, by saying I was F'd up for sure, and only asked if I could crash somewhere for an hour, just after trying to get a date with a woman in Real Estate who was of similar age.

Mark, Brian, and The Lovely Amy came back, and got me, because the equally wasted Mark feels I was an embarrassment, and now the story is God Knows How Exxaggerated, and It's big news probably that I was a one man power bottom. I can only laugh, as the host filled me in ( in detail ) how none of that shit was true ( other than the crashed out deal ) and I was said to be partially dressed. That's possible I guess, but no cock for TR as of this date, I still LOVE the Vagina.

This inspired me to clear up the second embarrassing blackout issue that occurred Saturday. I was with childhood buds Butch & Mark at Columbus Club, and had to have Brian explain via email how I got there to begin with? They put me in a cab after the Mark debacle. Anyway, Super TR had to poke his nose in other's business as I spotted a rather large guy rushing toward a friendly acquaintance name Michael Lano. Somehow I got in the fray, and got a lucky hook on the big dude ( but subconsciously wanted it to be my ex C.O.O. who recently fired me unjustly ) and choked him out from behind. It was way uncool as a longtime friend of the Club, and as a former bouncer if anything I should have just told them to calm down. I was high off it though, and talkin shit how tough I was till I sobered up. I'm 40. That behavior is ridiculous, so with some research I found out the guy worked with a friend Sean Ruppert. I called and gave a genuine apology, and offerred him a free shot to my face or a choke, as I knew I was wrong, and we knew the same people. The guy seemed pretty cool and accepted my apology ( I think ? ) so hopefully that is behind me, but you never know. it takes a big man to leave that kinda shit go, but he seemed sincere.

After that I was buzzed, and it was Mike Stern's Birthday, so I had to visit him at Tailgators. I stopped by Knockout Fitness and actually got my Musclebound homie Jim Morrow to come out! He hates bars! Anyway, saw Mike Pyfer and Tom Pyfer too who ows the gym and is trying to set something up with me.

We went to the bar and I mooched off Mike Stern after I ran out of cash. I hate doing that, as he's too fucking nice to me. Saw Todd, Glen, Donkey Balls, Tommy Knowlton, Doc, and members of band Live Set Disaster. It was fun. Even punched the shit out of the boxing game.

Never enough for me though, as I got on F.B. with Fury about the untrue story and the firing. I was a one man army challenging the scumbags that had wronged me. I woke up today and deleted most, as they are so queer that they could use it against me instead of facing up to me. I guess I harbor a deep resentment still eh?

Just another day in the life.

September 8th's shit!

It's soooo God Damn late that I'm hoping I set this up correctly?

Today was marred by my early stage dementia father pissing my mother off ( yes I live with them, but for the record I was gone for twenty years so let's not paint a picture that I was always a loser ) by being scammed by an "alleged" medicare salesperson. My miserable old man is fucking thrilled to talk to anybody on the phone, so he invited this senior scammer to the house!!!

I meanwhile, was scrambling for a doctor's appointment in nearby Chester to get my Kolonopin prescription refilled. I kept getting the same Indian bitch case worker's voicemail, as I shook like Rosario Dawson from "Rent" as I was withdrawling. This was unsuccessful, so I said screw the phone and asked the old man to give me a lift to beautiful Chester, Pa. on the West Side. The only time we speak is when he insults me, but luckily oldies 98 occupied his brain as we drove through a town which is in a state of emergency due to the violence!

I get there, and am told I can be signed up for "open meds?"  Having no clue what the fuck that meant, but feeling like Jeff Conaway on Celebrity Rehab, I acted as if Drew Carey told me to " Come On Down " and jumped in excitement like I was on Price Is Right.

Anyway, Thomas Jr. ( I'm the 3rd ) was waiting outside staring into the sea of crime, and I told him to wait in the lobby for me. He obliged and I uncomfortably sat next to him along with the mentally ill population of Community Hospital.

After a violent outburst I had this past Saturday while drinking, I had sworn off the immaturity known as street fighting. Well, some " wigger " decided he wanted to stare at me in the waiting room. I called him on it, and he bitched out and said, " Just waitin on my meds dude, so I don't go back to jail." What a pussy. I mean if you're trying to be "hard," or "street" then don't clam up when I ask why you're staring???

Saw a new doc after a while and told him of my recent firing, and increased anxiety. He wrote a prescription for Cymbalta & Kolonopin, so I was relieved.

Me and best pal for the day dad, then headed to Scaramuzza's as Mom requested some pasta for dinner, and the three of us ate that tasty ass, carb filled shit as a family.

I then watched a bit of The Phils Game which featured three of my fantasy baseball squad. They are Ryan Howard, Placido Polanco, and Gabby Sanchez who's on the opposing Marlins. I got nine RBI's between them and also snoozed.

Watched Howard TV, and was moved by He and Robin's hour tribute to the late Robert Schimmel. Very touching, and out of character for The King Of All Media. I also was bummed on Facebook where my other radio buddy Kidd Chris posted that Rich Cronin of LFO died today. He was a funny ass guy and really cool and a guest on both shows.

I then discovered this forum in The Delaware County Daily Times to chronichle my daily life. An uneventful day for the most part, but the future will hold some outrageous shit I assure you.

Trying to Blog?

How the Fuck do I write?
