Vengeance 2005
Watched Vengeance last night. Hard to believe it's the 5th one already. ANyway I thought it was a really good show with Cena and Batista both going over. It looks like Batista may be heading to Smackdown. Current Mood: energetic | | Monday, September 13th, 2004 | | 12:31 pm |
Wrestling
Alright, Jesselee is suggesting he may "not watch Raw tonight" in a way of protesting the decision to put the title og Triple H. Seriously, I'm sure one person not watching Raw will not hurt the WWE's feelings. Current Mood: contentCurrent Music: Listening to the Dan Patrick Show | | Friday, September 10th, 2004 | | 12:50 pm |
Baby Jade
At 7:42 A.M. (Central Time Zone), today (Friday, September 10th, 2004) Jade McKenzie was brought into this world. I'm a proud pappa. Current Mood: happy | | Wednesday, September 8th, 2004 | | 7:17 pm |

I was playing NBA Live 2004, and here's how my Bulls finished: 2003-04 season: 50-32, 3rd in East; Beat Knicks in Eastern Conferance Finals in 7 games; Beat Phoenix Suns in 7 games in NBA Finals. 200-05 season: 40-42, 7th in East, right now I'm down 3 games to none to Philadelphia in the East SemiFinals. Current Mood: annoyedCurrent Music: NBA on NBC | | Thursday, September 2nd, 2004 | | 8:42 pm |
Playoffs... PLAYOFFS?!?!?!
The Red Sox SUCK! They got a butt whoopin' comin' in the American League Championship Series by the REAL WORLD'S CHAMPION, the NEW YORK YANKEES!!!!!!! But really, Boston is a great city... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | | 8:20 pm |
On Second Thought...
Before the start of last season's NFL season, the New England Patriots released some dude who went to the Buffalo Bills. The result: The Bills crushed the Patriots in week 1. Everybody said that the Patriots were done, but you know what? The went on to beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII in February. You're thinking 'so what?' Well, check this out: The Miami Dolphins, America's Other Team (the Yankees are the other other team) had a horrible offseason. First, there was the Dan "The Man" Marino ordeal where Marino was given power in the organization (he was just a figure head, people speculated), and thus 13 days later Marino resigned. Then Ricky Williams retired so he could go smoke pot. And then Miami's big Offseason pick-up, Wide Receiver David Boston got hurt and he's out for the season. Normally, you'd think the Dolphins would be finished... BUT THEY'RE NOT!!! The Dolphins will rally behind Jay Fiedler (man I HATE typing that) and Miami will rally against all the bad things that have happened to them this offseason. So, I'm changing my Super Bowl XXXIX pick: Miami 45, Seattle 0. | | Wednesday, September 1st, 2004 | | 3:19 pm |
Everybody gets lucky
Last night (Tuesday night), the Cleveland Indians, who are like 7 1/2 game out of the A.L. Wild Card race, gave America's Team, the New York Yankees, a beatdown in the Bronx, at Yankee Stadium. Here's the deal: The Yankees let the Indians do this, so the Indians would build some much needed self-confidence. Never fear though, the Yankees are World Series bound yet again!!! | | Monday, August 30th, 2004 | | 8:48 pm |
My long winded views and Picks
I'm currently watching Monday Night Football, even though it is still Preseason. It's really sad when a Preseason game between the Dallas Drug..er, Cowboys vs. Tennesse Titans is more interesting that Raw is Snore. The WWE still hasn't given me a reason to watch Raw or Smackdown. I have no interest in a Randy Orton-Triple H feud, espically since it's painfully odvious that Triple H is getting the belt back at Unforgiven (in Portland, Oregon!). So Raw fans are stuck watching Triple H bury even more talent (what a shock) all the way to WrestleMania XXI, where Triple H should lose the World Title, but probably won't. Let's put this in perspective: Both the NWA and WCW had their World Champions be heels, and how did they do? The NWA with a heel Ric Flair as Champion ended up going BANKRUPT. WCW, led by a heel Hollywood Hogan and later, a heel Scott Steiner as World Champ, WENT BANKRUPT! And now the WWE will put the World Title on Triple H, and just like EVERY OTHER TIME he's been the champ, ratings WILL DROP! Why, the WWE does it's best when a BABYFACE is the Champion. THe WWE's greatest booms have all been with babyface champions: Hulk Hogan in the 1980s and Steve Austin in the late 1990s and even The Rock in 2000. Hell, even while Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were the champ during the "Dark Age" (Early 1990s to mid 90s) they became legendary figures as babyface champions. Yokozuna was WWE Champion from King of the RIng 93 (June 93) until WrestleMania X (March 1994). He had a long reign, but does ANYBODY consider him a great Champion??? No. He was a heel (and really fat). The fact of the matter is that throughout WWE history, only the BABYFACE champions are remembered and generally draw. Period. So Triple H needs to go bury himself in the midcards and PUT newcomers over, just like the old guard did for him. And you'd think that a "traditionalist" and "student of the game" like Triple H would be able to figure THAT out. As for Smackdown, JBL is no Ted DiBiase. I like how they have Orlando Jordan being JBL's equivilent to DiBiase's Virgil. All that's missing is JBL making Orlando clean the horse crap off his boot like DiBiase made Virgil do. Here's the HUGE differance between DiBiase and JBL: DiBiase was a ACCOMPLISHED WRESTLER. Let me repeat this: DIBIASE WAS A ACCOMPLISHED WRESTLER. JBL is not. DiBiase and Savage could tear the house down, hell, DiBiase even got good matches out of Hogan, and that's saying something considering how many matches the Orange Goblin has slept walked through. Have you seen the ratings for Smackdown? They're not good. And you want to know why: JBL IS A HEEL, AND HEEL CHAMPIONS DON'T DRAW. Eddie Guerrero didn't draw either, in all fairness, but he's not the most over guy there. You know who is? It's the Sellout, John Cena. Cena is being waisted in a meaningless "Best of 5" series with Booker T over the U.S. Title. Want to know how to get Smackdown going again? It's sooo easy. Have RVD turn heel and join the Dudleyz, and have Paul Heyman challange them. Then you IMMEDIATELY put the WWE Title on RVD, have Cena win the Royal Rumble, and there you go: Cena vs. RVD for the WWE Title in WrestleMania XXI's Main Event. You know what else would be cool (but it'll NEVER happen) is if DiBiase came out of retirement to be JBL's manager, and you let the Million Dollar Man talk with JBL... that would get some heat. Also, the WWE has weakend the Guerrero character, because as we all know, when a heel turns into a babyface, he losses 100 I.Q. points, well, except for Stone Cold. You know what else WWE should do: Combine the two Tag Team CHampionships, have the Champs be on both shows, because there like 2 teams on both shows. You know what would rock? WWE should get to guys out of OVW and redo Demolition. Think about it: Have two new guys come up as total babasses, and have them come out to Demolitions's old 80s rock song (Here comes the Axe, here comes the Smash, the Demolition walkin' machine). And they gotta ABSOLUTELY SQUASH people. I'm talking about a Goldberg squashing guys in WCW in 1998 kind of way. I think they'd be sooo over, because, let's face it, there hasn't been a dominant team in forever (the late 90s New Age Outlaws come to mind). I know people will say, "What about the Dudleyz". And to them I say, THE DUDLEYZ ARE A JOKE. They "won" the WCW Tag Team titles after the InVasion, so it's a fake title win. It dosen't count. Had they actually won them, in you know, the old WCW, then it would of counted. Also, who have they beated for their recent tag titles? Lance Storm and William Regal. La Resistance. Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hottie. That's not exactly beating the Hart Foundation, the Rockers, or Demolition. I really think that Demolition, if done the way I described, would be way, way, way over. And hopefully the WWE wouldn't split them up, make them feud and then reunite a hundred times like they do everything else. The WWE screws EVERYTHING up all the time. I don't hear anybody calling Vince a genuis now. NFL 2004 PICKS: Well, my Dolphins are screwed, and it's not looking promising for my New York Yankees. (Sigh). AFC East: New England Patriots. Of course they're going to win the Division, while my Dolphins bring up the rear, but hey, at least Miami will have a great pick in the NFL Draft!!!! (Sighs again) Plus, Wanndsdat will be gone!!! Maybe Miami can sign James away from Indy in the Offseason and get something resembeling a QB because Fiedler sucks. AFC North: Baltimore wins it, and it ain't even close. Can you imagine being a Running Back or a Wide Receiver and running.. and then you see Ray Lewis running at you... Cinci comes in second. AFC South: Tennesse's secondary blows, so I'll take Indy to win the Division, but Edgerin James needs to stay healthy. AFC West: Kansas City will win the West as long as their defense improves... even just a little bit. Also, Priest Holmes needs to stay healthy. NFC East: Philadelphia wins it, BUT, I don't think they're as good as everybody says they are. Dallas and Washington will battle for second place. NFC North: Minnesota will win the North because 1) Daunte Culpepper is gonna be HUUUUGE this year, and 2) Randy Moss is, well, Randy Moss. NFC South: Um, I'll take Carolina since I think the rest of the Division isn't so good. NFC West: Seattle wins the Division rather easily. St. Louis won't be that good, but playing against San Francisco and Arizona twice will make them (and anybody) look better than what they are. AFC Wild Cards: New York Jets, Tennessee. NFC WIld Cards: Green Bay, St. Louis AFC Championship Game: Kansas City vs. Indianapolis NFC Championship Game: Minnesota vs. Seattle Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville: Minnesota vs. Kansas City. KC hasn't won a Super Bowl since Super Bowl IV in 1970, and the Vikings are 0-4 in Super Bowl's in franchise history and they'll be 0-5 after the Chiefs stomp them. Priest Holmes will be Super Bowl XXXIX MVP. Also, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, and Houston Texans are the next great teams on the rise. | | Sunday, August 29th, 2004 | | 9:07 pm |
And the jooing goes on...
Ok, so I'm playing MVP Baseball 2004, and I'm in the Dynasty Mode, and here's how it goes: Year 1: 2004: New York Yankees 107 wins, 55 losses, .660 winning percentage. Playoffs: Beat Seattle 3 games to 1 in the Division Series. Beat Kansas City 4 games to 3 in the American Leafue Championship Series. Lost to Philadelphia in the World Series, 4 games to 1. Now, I can live with losing to Philadelphia... EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THEY WON 90 FREAKIN' GAMES WHILE I WON 107!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Shakes Head) Year 2: 2005: New York Yankees 114 wins, 48 losses, .704 winning percentage (2nd best record in American League history). Playoffs: Beat Kansas City 3 games to 1 in the Division Series. Beat Seattle 4 games to 3 in the League Championship Series. Beat Philadelphia 4 games to 2. WON WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! WOO HOO!!!!! Now, here's where I get jooed: Year 3: 2006: New York Yankees 129 wins, 33 losses, .796 winning percentage (Best record in Baseball history). Playoffs: Swept Texas 3 games to zero. American League Championship Series: The 129 win Yankees are defeated by the 90 win Boston Red Sox in Game 7 in Yankee Stadium. Let me get this straight: The team I beat 19 times in the regualr season beats me in a 7 game playoff series... IN YANKEE STADIUM?!?!??? HUH?!?!?!? But, as always, Boston lost the World Series to the Mets (again) in 7 games (again). | | Friday, August 13th, 2004 | | 9:02 pm |
Get'er Done
Not a whole lot to talk about. You know what I need to do sometime? Go out and check out downtown Springfield and see what's going on. Besides that, work blows, as normal, and my life is a constant bore. Oh well, at least I got my New York Yankees, who are going to win the World Series. | | Monday, August 2nd, 2004 | | 10:24 pm |
Curses!
O.k., so never mind about what I said about the Red Sox winning the American League pennant. After trading Nomar to the Cubs, the Red Sox have set themselves up for ANOTHER Yankees whoopin' in the American League Championship Series!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And then, when the Red Sox lose to the Yankees, just like they ALWAYS DO, then all the saps in Boston will start whinnin' and cryin' about the "Curse of the Bambino". Basicly by trading Nomar, the Red Sox just screwed the Red Sox. AND THAT'S A SHOOT, BRUTHA!!! The Dodgers are losers also. Dito for my Miami Dolphins. After Ricky Williams screwed us (by "us", I mean the Dolphins), the Dolphins are basicly on the clock for April's NFL Draft. The Portland Trail Blazers are fools whose Point Guards are about 3 foot 5. I didn't see RAW tonight (I haven't seen it in over a month) and I haven't seen a Smackdown since before WrestleMania XX. I watched WCW/nWo Road WIld '98 (the August PPV) and then I watched SummerSlam '98: HIghway to Hell (the August PPV) and I was completely blown away at how much the WWF show blew Road Wild out of the water. Also, who wants to see a Main Event of Jay Leno, the Tonight Show host and DDP vs. Hollywood Hogan and Eric Bischoff.The WWF countered with a super hot Main Event of WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Undertaker. Also, the Rock-Triple H Ladder Match was the stuff. Anyway, that's it for now | | Thursday, July 29th, 2004 | | 6:35 pm |
Everything
You want to know what the greatest show of all time is? Seinfeld. Seinfeld is far and away the ebst show ever. George Castanza is the best character in television history. With tv networks (espically NBC) in need of a good sitcom (even though NBC does have Will & Grace), bring back Seinfeld would be a great idea. SInce Seinfeld ended in 1998, what have the stars of the show done? Nothing. Think about it, NBC over the years has had the best comedies (The Cosby Show, Seinfeld, Friends, Will & Grace)and now, there Thursday night line up is like the line-up of an old episode of WCW Thunder. Anyway, bring back Seinfeld NBC, bust out the check book and get it done! By the way, get Major League Baseball back, so Bob Costas can call the games, and get the NBA back, because I miss the old NBA on NBC theme. How about them Yankees? Despite the fact their pitching sucks nuts and they're not going to get Randy Johnson, they're still the team to beat... until the Playoffs begin, and then the Yankees better hope they can score 10 runs a game because their pitching is suspect. It pains me to say this, but the Red Sox pitching is set just right once the Playoffs start. I'm not sure the Yankees could even advance thru the Divison Series (the first round), but I think they'll find defeat in the American League Championship Series. I'm thinking Boston will win the A.L. Pennant (even thought their defense stinks... but they'll lose AGAIN in the World Series, to the St. Louis Cardinals or the Los Angeles Dodgers. I've really been enjoying the ESPN25 countdowns. I like Dean Smith and all, but BEST COACH????? Phil Jackson has won 9 NBA Title (6 with Chicago and 3 with the Lakers) HE SHOULD OF BEEN BEST COACH! Onto the moronic world of rasslin'. WWE is insane if they put the belt on Orton. Lately I've been watching more and more old tapes, since the current product bores me. I haven't even bother watching Raw for the past 3 weeks and I haven't watched Smackdown forever. Basicly, Vince has hit another wall (like in the early/mid 1990s) and I hope Ted Turner starts this new fed (hey, it'll be on TNT) so they can kick Vince's ass for a while (and they will) and Vince will get some more creative ideas. The only thing going against Vince right now is the fact that he's determined to jackoff thanks to Triple H, who in turn, is determined to jackoff thanks to Randy Orton. Orton is NOT READY for the title. Maybe at Survivor Series, but not at SummerSlam. This is all going to set up a Triple H-Orton match at WrestleMania XXI.... which will feature a low buyrate, since wrestling comes in cycles and the cycle is currently on "Triple H is filling the WWE up with crap". It's so sad to see what an ass kisser Ric FLair has turned into. Flair blaintly kisses Triple H and Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon's ass ALL THE TIME. Ric bad mouths Bret Hart all the time, saying Bret never drew... WORLD TO RIC- LOOK AT YOR DVD THERE'S A TON OF EMPTY SEATS IN YOUR MATCHES!!! That's all for now | | Sunday, July 11th, 2004 | | 10:23 pm |
Vengeance
Wow, I'm shocked that Triple H would lose to one guy on three pay-per-views in one year. Triple H was on the losing end against Chris Benoit at WrestleMania XX on March 14th, plus again in April at Backlash, and again tonight at Vengeance. It looks like we may get a Eugene-Triple H match at SummerSlam, plus a Randy Orton-Chris Benoit World Heavyweight Championship match. A second Jericho-Batista match will probably added as well. Suckdown... I mean, Smackdown, will bring us the classic match the whole world is waiting for (that whole sentance was oozing with sarcasim), the WWE Title match between champion JBL and the Undertaker. Plus, we'll get Mr. Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero in a WrestleMania XX rematch. John Cena should take on Booker T for the vacant United States Championship. Paul London and Billy Kidman will also defend the WWE Tag Team Championships against the Dudley Boyz. Anyway, the 17th annual SummerSlam is shaping up to be very, very interesting... perhaps not in a good way. I have WCW SuperBrawl VII on the way, which is a good thing.

Raw is Snore
Wal-Mart sucks. There's ALWAYS 3 millions people trying to check out at the same time, but there's only two check-out lines open. Thoughts on RAW: Musical chairs was funny. Ric Flair's Stylin' and Profilin' was phenomonal. Nobody cares about La Resistance or the World Tag Team Championship. Then again, nobody cares about the WWF Tag Team Championship. Orton's interaction with Eugene was funny. As a matter of fact, talking IS THE ONLY THING Orton can do right. Orton is HORRIBLE as a wrestler and he's a douche bag. The middle of all his matches are brutal. Triple H's interview sucked, well, because Triple H interviews are boring. Kane vs. Batista was a waste of time. Matt hardy is a douche bag. Who cares about the RAW Diva Search? Jericho vs. Orton was decent... except the middle portion of the match, because ORTON SUCKS. I didn't watch the Women's match because Women's wrestlig is a JOKE. The Main Event was decent, but the fans turning on Eugene was kinda odd. You know what's great? NBA Dynasty Series: The Chicago Bulls: The 1990's. It's a 4 disc DVD set, featuring the videos on Chicago's 6 title wins and the best games from the Bulls 6 NBA Finals appearances. For SummerSlam, WWE should do this line-up: Title vs. Career: World Heavyweight Championship: Chris Benoit (Champion) vs. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (Flair wins the title and turns face). Triple Threat Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Edge (Champion) vs. Randy Orton vs. Eugene Women's Championship: Trish Stratus vs. Victoria Triple H vs. William Regal WWE Championship: Eddie Guerrero (heel) vs. Rob Van Dam United States Championship: John Cena vs. Booker T John Bradshaw Layfield w/ Paul Heyman vs. The Undertaker Interpromotional match: World Tag Team Champions La Resistance vs. WWE Tag Team Champions The Dudley Boyz Anyway, that's it... I WIN!!! | | Thursday, July 1st, 2004 | | 8:59 pm |
Stupidity
There's been a long line of great/really good WWF/E Champions. Bruno, Pedro, Superstar Billy Graham, Backlund, Hogan, Savage, Flair, Bret, Shawn, Stone Cold, Rock, Triple H, Undertaker, Angle, and Foley. Lesnar COULD of been an all time great WWF/E Champion, but he decided to bail to the NFL (National Fellons League). Yokozuna was champion for 9 months (and for about 2 minutes at WrestleMania IX), but since the WWF was at a down point, he's not considered a great champion. There's also been transitional WWF/E Champions, such as Stan "The Man" Stasiak, Iron Shiek, Backlund (2nd reign), and of course, The Big Show. To this point, Stasiak has been generally considered the worst champion in the company's history... Until now... John Bradshaw Layfield can't wrestle, and he's ONLY on top due to the HORRIBLE quality of Smackdown. Seriously, HOW HARD is it to have a RVD-Eddie feud for the title to take you through Survivor Series, then go heel Eddie vs. Cena for the title at WrestleMania XXI. Watch Smackdown and when you see JBL walk out with the WWE title, think to yourself, "can I see Stone Cold or The Rock feuding with JBL for the title?" And the answer is "no". Austin fought Michaels, Foley, Kane, Undertaker, Rock, Triple H, Angle, and even Mr. McMahon himself for the WWF Championship. Thiank about it, McMahon allies himself with great heel champions, like Rock, Austin, Triple H, Kurt, Undertaker, Jericho, among others. If McMahon really believed in JBL, then maybe the Mr. McMahon character would be seen with him. Hell, McMahon even joined Lesnar last summer. In closing, JBL's WWE Championship reign is not due to JBL being over (or being any good, which he ain't), but because Smackdown has nobody at the moment (except RVD and Cena) to carry the belt. Look at it like this, 10 years from now, people will still be talking about Hogan, Austin, and Rock... but I seriously doubt we'll be talking about JBL by 2006's WrestleMania XXII. | | Wednesday, June 30th, 2004 | | 6:36 pm |
WCW's constant stupidity
Hindsight being 20/20, I have an idea that Dubya-See-Dubya should of tried out. At 1996's Great American Bash, instead of turning Steve McMichael into a heel by having him join the Horsemen, Mongo's partner Kevin Greene should of been the one that turned. Here's why: -Mongo was HORRIBLE. Kevin would wrestle once or twice a year, and he was still better than Mongo. -Kevin Greene was coming off a Super Bowl XXX appearance with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and then signed with the Carolina Panthers (who would lose to the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game), therefore Greene would have real credibility with the actual media. -When Ric Flair made his return from an injury at Slamboree '97, Falir and Roddy Piper selected Kevin Greene as their partner. -In a weird turn abouts, McMichael's wife Debra would leave McMichael and join Jeff Jarrett in the WWE (then WWF) and would then marry Stone Cold Steve Austin. However, the whole Debra-Stoen Cold marriage would hit a snag. Current Mood: mellowCurrent Music: New York Yankees victory song |
