Christian quits WWE

Dave@wrestlingobserver.com

Jay Reso's final match in WWE was last night at the TV tapings in Los Angeles. While the WWE web site reported him quitting, which was accurate, what happened was a week ago in San Francisco, he was given a new contract, as his old one expired, and told to sign on the spot. He didn't sign. He did come back to work and do another job last night when he quit.

So... yeah. Good for Christian. TNA gets stronger by the day, if that is indeed where he ends up.


Coming soon (BACK) to Spike TV

Honest to God REAL News That Makes Me Want to Cry

From billboard, those motherfucking dream crushers:

"New York rappers Jay-Z and Nas ended their longtime feud and promoted peace on-stage last night (Oct. 27) during New York radio station Power 105.1's Power House concert at New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena.

As headliner of the highly-anticipated event, Jay-Z had promised surprise guest performances and originally hyped the concert as an "I Declare War" affair, though nothing of the kind occurred during the three-hour, star-studded show. Throughout his performance, Jay-Z and company celebrated coming together and ending unnecessary conflict. "This is for hip-hop," the rapper proclaimed. "We love y'all!"

Before performing "Dead Presidents" together with Nas (Jay-Z sampled Nas' voice for the track on "Reasonable Doubt") Jay-Z teased the crowd, stating that an earlier reunion between Sean "Diddy" Combs and estranged rapper the Lox (now known as D-Block) had motivated him. He shouted, "Let's go Esco!" and Nas arrived on stage to deafening applause.

Afterwards, the two rappers stood side-by-side for nearly two minutes as the crowd cheered. Nas then performed a roughly 15-minute set that included "Street Dreams," "The World Is Yours" and "Hate Me Now," which saw a reunion between he and Diddy. Kanye West, Diddy and Jay-Z then reconnected with Nas for Jay-Z's "Encore" to cap the night."

So... is it just me or does this read like a really unfunny Onion article?

Damn it. It's not true. I don't believe it.


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So... not... cool

This guy = NOT ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Boy... Boy... Boy... Oh Boy

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- New York rapper Cam'ron was shot and wounded during a botched carjacking near a waterfront night spot, his manager said Sunday.

The artist, who was recovering at Howard University Hospital, had stopped at a traffic light shortly after midnight when a man attempted to steal his Lamborghini, said his manager, Big Joe.

When Cam'ron refused to give up the car and attempted to drive away, the gunman fired a single shot that passed through both of Cam'ron's arms, said Lynn Hobson, a spokeswoman for his label, Diplomat Records."

Is it okay to wish that he had been non-fatally shot in the voice box?

Holy Shit, it was Fat Albert!

Has anyone else seen this? What an odd little movie. The main "You Got Served" dude played Dumb Donald, so that was awesome. Keenan Thompson very ably played the title role, but I'm a "Keenan and Kel" mark, so your mileage may vary.

Okay, basic premise is, this little high schooler has no friends, so she cries while watching "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" on TV, which causes all of the animated characters to GO OFF SCRIPT and come through the TV set to find out what's wrong. The little girl does NOT shoot them all dead on sight. Instead, she reluctantly befriends them, even taking them to school with her. All of them.

So, Fat Albert falls for the little girl's older foster sister (no idea why you'd adopt someone older than your real kid), and love blossoms because it's what's on the inside that counts.

But OH SNAP! The ex-cartoon's colors are starting to fade. Seriously. So they have to go back into the TV before they become "celluloid dust" as Bill Cosby puts it so eloquently.

But Fat Albert has found love, and is not easily convinced. But for reasons I've already forgotten, he goes anyway, and lives on in cartoon form. And the little girl now has friends... somehow. It wasn't explored very much once the B-plot about Albert's relationship took over.

Anyway, this movie did not own. I saw it so you don't have to. I don't want my sacrifice to be in vain, chumps.

PEACE!

Countdown to Bound for Glory: 3 Days

While the entire lineup, photo galleries, promo video clips, and other such things are all available at http://www.tnawrestling.com/ , I'm bringing the personal touch, by highlighting another of the feature matches heading your way this Sunday, at TNA Wrestling's "Bound for Glory."

The Return Of “The Ultimate X” For The #1 Contender To The X Championship: Matt Bentley vs. Petey Williams vs. Chris Sabin

Matt Bentley, aka Shawn Michaels's nephew or cousin or something, is the self proclaimed master of the Ultimate X match, seen below. He won the first two versions of the innovative high wire bout by climbing hand over hand across a cable to retrieve the giant "X" suspended in the center. On Sunday, he's back to win the match that made him... sort of notable, and to claim top contention for the X Division Championship.


Okay, so it's a belt in this case, not a big red "X". I SWEAR it exists. I'll prove it!


Yeah, fine. That's Matt Bentley, again without the big red "X". I SWEAR IT'S REAL, THOUGH! Andrew's seen it!

Aside from Bentley, also competing in the match is Petey Williams, former X Division Champion, captain of Team Canada, and the man who delivers perhaps the most spectacularly goofy move in the history of wrestling, "The Canadian Destroyer."


That's Petey Williams. No, he's not holding a giant red "X" either, but there's one on his belt. Does that count for anything?

Rounding out the match is Detroit, Michigan's own... Mick Collins.


Can Collins hold the match together with his superior ring psychology? YOU FIND OUT!

Okay, that's bullshit. Mick Collins isn't going to be wrestling. But the other competitor IS from Michigan, and he is... CHRIS SABIN!


Hey, there's the big red "X!" I feel like Grover on the last pages of "There's a Monster at the End of This Book." Good for me.

So, the date, Sunday, October 23rd. The place, mine. The time, 7:30 pm. The event: TNA Wrestling Presents BOUND FOR GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Countdown to Bound for Glory: 4 Days

For the next four days, I'm going to make one post regarding this Sunday's TNA "Bound for Glory" ppv, and hype up one match in particular each day. Today's featured attraction? Let's start with a big one.

For the TNA X Division Championship: "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels challenges "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles in a 30 minute Iron Man Match.

This is actually a rematch of an absolutely astonishing Iron Man match they had in February at the TNA pay per view "Against All Odds", watched by Davekwon and myself. It was super rad. Here's a couple of pictures from that.


Thank you Satan! - Lee Masheter, January 10th, 2004


I have nothing funny to add to this picture


The hard won victory

TNA! TNA! TNA!

Oh, it's Tuesday

And that means... TELEVISION

New episodes of "My Name Is Earl," "The Office," "Gilmore Girls," "Boston Legal," and a baseball themed re-run of "House" from last season that I didn't catch the first time around. Truly, my life is full and glorious.

The Content You've Come to Expect

Thanks to Cody, the best friend you've never met a guy could ever have, I became aware of the industry of the BOMB POP. Now, you all remember this, right?



Lemony, cherry...y, blue...y, and most of all, damn patriotic. The original Bomb Pop has stood the test of time for as long as I can remember, and I can't imagine a summer without it. Well, as it turns out, that's not the only thing the Bomb Pop people make. Check this shit out!



Yes, it's a Powerpuff Girl. I'm not a very good nerd because I don't know offhand which one it is (Buttercup?), but it certainly looks just like her, whoever she is.



Why does he have green eyes? I don't understand. Cody made me put this in. I wasn't really too impressed by it.



SOOOOO the drama! L0lz. M I Rite? Again with the huge green eyes. Bomb Pop Corp. must just have a lot of really old unusable green dye sitting around. This one doesn't look that great, but I want to marry Kim Possible, so she needed to be here.



The only thing this creation leads me to is the simple question: Melissa Joan Hart; Lebanese? I hope so.

And finally...



TAADAH! Okay, here's why this warrants inclusion over say, the Light Saber Bomb Pop. There is just nothing about this bar that would make me think it has anything to do with Nascar. They couldn't shape it like a car? They couldn't make the chocolate shell red or give it a gasoliney odor? Laziness.

I sense a return to form with that entry. Hope I'm not being too cocky. Thanks to Cody for the inspiration. Truly, you are my muse in all facets of life.

A completely random picture that cracked my shit up

Ronald McDonald giving someone an inverted Death Valley Driver might just haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.
