  1. Tony: I won $300! I seriously hope that next week's Collision commentary team is Nigel and Ian. And Nigel explains that Tony can't be here because his wife made him go to a Gamblers Anonymous meeting.
  2. I gave MJF/Mistico a second look last night. And I'm apparently somewhere in the middle for my thoughts. My friend I was watching with said it was ass and easily one of AEW's worst matches all year, which seemed a bit harsh to me. Other folks were heaping praise saying it was one of the best things about the whole show. Which also seemed to be a bit much. The only things I specifically hated were the finish, which they were backed into a corner on because aint no way Mistico was jobbing to anyone in AEW. And the Canadian Destroyer spot, which I always despise. I loved the MJF heat portion, he had the crowd going crazy and Mistico sold like he was dead. Then Mistico made the comeback and I started scratching my head. It was just Mistico doing his usual stuff, then he'd wait for MJF to get back up and then do another one. There was no urgency at all for what he was doing. For as much of a heat machine as MJF is, he's also great at selling and stooging around when the babyface is making his comeback, but the kind of stuff Mistico was doing didn't allow for it. Without much heat the post match angle got, I was hopeful that they'd be keeping it going. But there was no sign of MJF at Fantastica Mania, no mention of him on Collision, and I haven't heard anything about him showing up at Coliseo last night. But, I would like to see them have another go around to see if they can clean things up because I think they have a classic inside of them.
  3. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case. The only difference so far is the company. Jericho/Mistico was a CMLL only deal and MJF/Mistico has so far been kept on AEW.
  4. MJF certainly got himself some heat Wednesday night. SRS is reporting that someone went after him at the hotel. He says he's OK, and he's proud that he got that kind of heat. I'm wondering if he shows back up tonight, and continues this deal with Mistico and they headline Anniversario.
  5. Joaquin Wilde is out and Lince Dorado is in.
  6. The Judgment Day gets smaller and smaller.......
  7. Well I totally whiffed on that prediction. It's not a total loss though, because Averno defended the Light Heavyweight strap against Mistico in Guadlajara last Tuesday night and retained the title after a little assistance and a nutshot, so his record against Mistico improves to 2-199!
  8. Last night's trios main event ended in Sky Team beating Los Infernales in two straight falls, and challenging them for the trios titles, which happens next week. The general consensus seems to be that there's going to be new champions, but I'm wondering if Infernales retain and something happens between Averno and Mistico to set up the mask/hair match that they've both been alluding to wanting to have.
  9. When my wife's sister and her husband went back east for a week, I was on dog watching duty (basically letting them in and out and making sure they were good on water and food). So, she brought me back a sixer of Southern Tier Irish Cream Stout. Sadly, it's the first beer that I think I've ever had from STBC that I haven't thought very much of.
  10. Update: For $56 and about twenty minutes, about 17 of which was us taking apart the trunk in order to get to the tail light assembly to switch out the sensor, my tail light is in perfect working order. We also replaced the shocks which weren't "leaking fluid" as the dealship told us, they were just a little dirty. Moral of the story: Screw the dealership service people whenever possible, find someone who "knows people"
  11. My dad had a hernia that he let get ridiculously out of control, to the point that doctors weren't sure that they could safely operate on him without losing him on the table. Before he passed, he'd been talking about how it had been long enough and he was ready to get it taken care of.......
  12. I had to verbally bitchslap both of my kids over my watching WrestleMania. The wife and I realized that WrestleMania night 2 fell on Easter Sunday, which is a bit inconvenient. But, not the end of the world. Dinner with the extended family is usually at our place anyway, and there's no reason that I can't put it on the TV and listen to it while we're eating dinner. And it's not like Easter is an all day thing. The family comes, the kids all get their various gifts, we have dinner and dessert, and then they leave since it's Sunday night and we all work Monday morning. So, as long as I'm with them for dinner, no fuss no muss. And yes, the wife even said this wasn't a problem. Well first the younger kid, age 13, decides that she's going to make a stink about it, and that she's informing me that I will not be watching it that night. I tell her otherwise, and she decides that this is the hill to die on. Well, she's also wanting to go to one of her friends place on Friday and have a different friend over Saturday. So, I just repeated that, yes I will be watching and if she'd like to continue this conversation later, we can do it Friday while she's at home and again on Saturday while her friend isn't over. She looks at her mom to support and doesn't find it. Then it's the older one's, age 15, idea to try to get involved. The wife and I are talking about what time it starts, how long it usually goes, etc. And she perks up and says "And Dad, you're not watching wrestling while people are here." I speak up and say "Yes I am, and whether I do or don't, it's really none of your business anyway." Once again, she looks at her mom and her mom just says "Yeah, that's true." And after all their shit talking, we had a nice dinner together. I'd finished eating and was suitably full. I see my wife is holding my newborn nephew and not eating. I ask if she needs me to hold him so she can eat. Her reply: No, I'm fine. Go watch your wrestling."
  13. I was having some issues with the HUD in my Nissan whenever I had to make a left turn. I'm still within my extended warranty, so I take to to the dealership to see what's up. They have it for a good 6 and a half hours and first I get a call from the sales dept wanting to know if I'm interested in trading it in. I inform him that I'm not. Then I get another call from the service people informing that I actually have no warranty. I tell them that I called yesterday to verify that it was active and that I was told that it was, but this clown can't seem to find it. I dig out the paperwork with the warranty number, and that my deductable is zero, and voila, he found it in the computer. Then I finally get the call that I've been waiting for, the issue is in my tail light, and to fix that and other nagging things that need it (shocks, belt, and air filter) are going to set me back $3000, and none of it falls within my warranty. I tell them no thanks and how much just for the tail light? That's about $900. I decline again, and I'm only charged for the diagnostics. I take the car to my father in law, who pokes around with it a bit, and finds the problem in the tail light. He makes a couple of calls (he's Italian, so he knows people), and finds out exactly what causes that particular issue with that model of Nissan. And we order the part to replace, new shocks, and a new air filter for a grand total of $150. So 95% less than the dealership wanted. The cost for the taillight part itself? $56! And the real kicker is that when I was driving back, the HUD didn't have any problems at all with me making left turns.
  14. What makes the WWE/AAA thing interesting to me is the fact that it's the first chance to possibly see the WWE actually acquire and run a separate promotion. They were fully planning on keeping WCW separate, until Viacom balked at airing WCW shows when they were paying for the WWF brand. So, we'll see if it's just business as usual with AAA, only with someone else footing the bills, or if it's just Mexcan version of NXT UK. I will say, the possibility of sending American Made down there does excite me a little bit, because I can only imagine the amount of heat they can generate.
  15. It took me way too long, between the job, family, and other things taking precedence. But, I finally finished reading The Thursday Murder Club. Despite taking so long to finish, I actually really enjoyed it. There were lot of parts that had me cracking up. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the Netflix adapation turns out.
