  1. How many people could/would/would like to put together a 'Best of 2013' ballot were I motivated enough to run such a thing?
  2. I had no idea it was a Dragonball reference, but, then again, I am grown man (I kid, Vic and Fowler, I kid!). Plus, would you really want Michael Cole to explain Dragonball to the kiddies out there? "You see it's this where Goku, who is like John Cena, is trying to get dragonballs, which are like the WWE championship and..." all the while Vince McMahon is yelling "What the fuck is this shit, Cole?!" in his ear-piece.
  3. Oh man, that would be pretty awesome.
  4. Sounds like the Titus main event push has begun!
  5. The Bella on the apron visibly wincing when she hits the move really makes this. Who is that he's hitting with the Bronco Buster? Looks like Swagger? Owen Hart?
  6. They'll probably just show repeat CFL telecasts during the week, seeing as their CFL games have higher ratings than the broadcasted NHL games.
  7. So, a couple things about the new TV deal -Rogers RUNS HNIC. CBC gets to broadcast it for the next four years. Rogers chooses everything else: editorial content, on-air personnel. etc. -I thought this would mean the end of Don Cherry (Big corporation looking to distance itself from xenophobic old man actually referred to BY NAME in concussion lawsuit) but some Rogers guy apparently said they would get Cherry onto every Rogers channel they could. -More/expanded Saturday night coverage. Instead of being stuck with JUST the Leafs-Habs game at 7:00/4:00 on Saturday nights, Canadian fans will now get a game on CBC, a game on Sportsnet, and a game on Sportsnet 360. -Bob McKenzie says TSN will still strive to cover the NHL better than anyone else, they just won't be showing NHL games. -All the extra money likely means a bump by $1-2 million for next year's salary cap.
  8. I love hockey fans So Bob McKenzie tweets this And if you expand it you get the following quotes "@TSNBobMcKenzie and the news broke many of hearts! #SayItAintSo" "@TSNBobMcKenzie So what happens with hockey on TSN ?? Don't get why CBC has the rights when they only have 1 channel." "@TSNBobMcKenzie is the panel still going to exist? This is crazy news" "@TSNBobMcKenzie not the greatest of news for the TSN family" and, of course, someone who didn't get the memo/doesn't care "@TSNBobMcKenzie how did Horvat look?" Somehow, that is the greatest summary of hockey fans, really.
  9. Sportsnet has CHL until 2014. One guy I was reading suggested TSN might go after the CHL, and with the way they've built up the WJHCs, turn it into a sort-of Canadian equivalent of the NCAA in the US. That would be pretty awesome. BTW, Adrian Dater summed up the whole TSN losing the NHL thing quite well: "I think it says it all that the big scoop about TSN losing its NHL rights to a rival was broken by @TSNBobMcKenzie"
  10. Man, JBL had some great lines tonight. Like when JBL was protesting about Woods dancing with the Funkadactyls saying "Brodus can't be happy right now" and Cole said "Who cares about Brodus?" and JBL said "You sound like the WWE universe!"
  11. I refuse to believe it will lead to anything but Mark Henry: Face of the WWE until the point when it does not, then I will just go back to not really caring.
  12. Mark Henry news courtesy ewrestlingnews.com And hopefully better news, spoilered, just in case It appears that following his return last night, Mark Henry maybe Randy Orton's next title challenger. At this time, Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry for the WWE Title is being advertised for Live Events in Vancouver, B.C on Dec. 7th and Yakima, WA on Dec. 8th.There are also plans to do a Randy Orton vs. John Cena "who is the face ofWWE?" match at some point but they plan to hold that off until 2014.
  13. The first time I saw these guys I thought TNA was bringing back Adam & George.
  14. I don't think it has to be smarky fans to not be into the Orton/Show match. It was a fine match, but if they don't care, they don't care. The entire crowd didn't seem to care about the whole match. Not just the "smart" fans. Don't give me "if they don't care, they don't care". These "fans" don't care. But judging by the ratings, and the reaction from the TV crowds those real fans do care.I'm just glad Vince never really gives in to these smark crowds, or else Ryder would be a main eventer. LOL @ "real fans". The fuck does that even mean? Considering how much the tickets to that shitshow must have been, I can't really call anyone who doled out their money to go a "fake fan". And yet they don't act like "fans". They act like animals trying to selfishly put the attention on themselves while the Superstars bust their asses for them. And for what? So they can chant boring. Or even worse chant the name of a Superstar who isn't even in the main event anymore. Throw in a "boys in the back" mention and this could be a Cyrus promo from ECW on TNN.
  15. I also want him to turn "Ole! Ole! Ole!" chants with him going "See? They're singing my name: Bo-lay! Bo-lay! Bo-lay!"
  16. I actually loved The Miz title reign. Believe it or not, were I booking WWE, he'd be getting another main even run with me.
  17. I think Russev is perfect as is. I mean, how can you not take a foreign monster named Alexander seriously? The only thing I'd change about Russev is the tights, they look too much like garbage bags for my liking. I'd like to see him wear some Barbarian-style fur-lined tights, but that's just me. Imagine how awesome Russev would look going to the ring in this get-up?! Tell me that wouldn't be awesome! Russev-Cassady was a lot of fun. Cassady needs to start wearing long pants with fringe like Kevin Nash, it would make him look just a bit bigger. All the matches were perfectly fun little matches on this show, though, personally, I would've had Bo go to "help" Zayn and "accidentally" cost him the match, setting up Neville-Bo and letting Zayn chase a little bit longer. Oh yeah, Rick Victor needs to shave his head or something, his ponytail is starting to reach Hogan-levels of beginning near the back of his head. I actually think The Ascension would be a lot better if they were a threesome after they brainwash somebody interesting (Maybe after hiring back Ohno, or that British guy who fought Mason Ryan a week back...hell, even Ryan himself) and wrestled matches under 'Ascension Rules' where any two of them can defend the titles and then keep Victor as more of a manager.
  18. 3 matches? They'd better be pretty damn long.
  19. Man, I loooooved Hello Ladies entire first season. Very funny, very cringe-worthy, lots of fun/good performances and awesome soundtrack (I love all the 70s/80s pop songs) but what really stunned me about it was how BEAUTIFUL it looked. I've become very used to my TV comedies basically being a couple guys telling jokes in front of uninspired backdrops, but 'Hello Ladies' had all this great composition. The episode where Stewart tells the homophobic joke and gets thrown out of the party just as his dream girl arrives and stands in the doorway watching her go by as the lights reflect off the surface of the pool onto his face was so amazing. Started watching 'Episodes' in the last week and was super INTO it and then totally got annoyed at a plot twist at the end of the second-last episode of the first season but stuck with it, and now the first episode of the second season feels like I'm watching a completely different show and the worst part is there's this ham-fisted acoustic guitar riff that they feel the need to accompany two scenes with to HIT.YOU.OVER.THE.HEAD. that it's an "emotional" moment. Look, if I can't figure that out myself, 'Episodes', than that's my loss. It feels like the show went from being 'Liman's Boys' to 'Pucks' in just a span of three episodes. I hope it turns around.
  20. I watched Westworld this week. Man, if there's a movie that's ripe for a remake, it's 'Westworld'! But, the problem is you could never cast an evil robot quite as good as Yul Brynner who was born to play a robot, but it plays into his reputation as a tough-guy cowboy actor. Anyways, this was really fun as long as you don't think about things too much (Wait, a minute, why would they encourage guests to get into barfights where they could get seriously injured?!). The biggest obstacle to me enjoying this was that A. there's a Simpsons episode that parodies this to a 'T' and B. I kept remembering the Hallowe'en episode of 'Freaks and Geeks' where Harris told Sam's mom that her cowgirl costume looked like Richard Benjamin in 'Westworld'.
  21. I actually didn't see this until a year or two ago but I absolutely LOVED it. I thought everyone was really good (FTR, the son would've been about 22 at the time of filming, so I'd say that's perfectly acceptable). I can see where you're coming from in terms of complaints, even though I mostly disagree and am willing to suspend disbelief, but I think you completely underrated the awesome performance Dakota Fanning puts in. She looks absolutely terrified throughout and I was just genuinely blown away by how good she was. BTW, I had to google your sig and that is AMAZING. Why did I never hear about that?!
  22. I loved that the 4-6 guys came out and watched the main event (Which Tenay laughably referred to as the unity of the locker-room) because they were SO INVESTED in seeing Aces & Eights end but not enough to stop Bully Ray from piledriving Anderson on the cement, or enough to stop Knux from interfering or enough to stop Brooke from bringing Bully a hammer.
  23. Thought this said 'Magic Mike' and was trying to picture Michael Cera doing a striptease. Hello, new screenplay idea!
  24. This is amazing. He just walks through a wall, never to be seen again. on the Kane tip
  25. Is that the same number as the amount of times people said Giant Bernard wasn't going to WWE...
