TNA Is Better Than WWE. No, Really

I want to take a quick second to write this down, because I can’t believe I’m saying it. Wrestling fans. If you find yourself with limited time and need to make a choice between watching WWE or TNA, choose TNA without hesitation. Seriously. Shitcanning Vince Russo in favour of people with a clue has done …

Long Weekend Audio: The First Of Many Casts

Well…our first audio is up. We had hoped to have it up last night, but we kind of fell over after we finished recording it. The file got uploaded to the server, but hell if I was going to write the post around it. So I’m writing it this morning. Poor Steve had to start …

I Went To A Ball Game And Did Some Other Stuff

Before I say another word, I seriously just watched John Cena beat Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules. No really, that happened. Don’t ask me *why* it happened, but it happened. I guess I have to allow for the idea that this might be going somewhere and is part of a larger story, but this is …

Stream’s Down In The Sun

This is Wrestlemania weekend. If you’re the kind of fan I am, this weekend is kind of what it would be like if they played the World Series on Christmas while the Stanley Cup Finals were going on across the street. For pro wrestling, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. Of course there’s Wrestlemania, …

I’m Baaack…I Think

So yeah…I haven’t posted for nearly two weeks. Definite fail…although failing at blogging seems to be a regular occurrence for me now. I think, *knocks on wood* that I’m out of the medical woods. I feel better, and bunches of my problems appear to be vanishing. It’s funny. I’ve had this since I was a …

A Post With A Bunch Of Stuff In It Just To Show You We’re Alive

So…this place sure has been hopping lately, eh? Yeah…about that. I’m sorry. Really, I am. But to be honest, it can’t be helped, and I can’t say when it’s going to get better. I don’t want to get into a whole lot of specifics, so I’ll leave it at this: There are a few things …

Welcome To The WWF Fun Time Singalong

Earlier today I wrote about how much better wrestling used to be compared to much of what we see these days. I was not, however, so blinded by nostalgia as to completely brush aside the fact that not everything back then was great. In fact, there was a whole lot of stuff that was really, …

Wrestling Sure Used To Be Great

Update: I just found the interview Jake did after the Elizabeth slapping. I remember it having more of an effect on me back then than it does now, but back then I was in shock that this nutcase seriously just hit Elizabeth. Since Carin’s last Christmas present to me turned out to be some form …
