Capital Ex

Sunday, July 30th, 2006


Went to Capital Ex last night, had a great time. It really filled the Stampede void quite nicely. The kids really seemed to enjoy it, especially my big kid ;-)

The only thing I can’t figure out is how the dogs do those fireworks…..

ECW Main Event Next Tuesday

Friday, July 28th, 2006


It appears it will be Batista vs. Show for the belt next Tuesday in New York…. And the fans will….

Worst Match of All Time

Thursday, July 27th, 2006


For years now I have told people that the worst match I’ve ever seen was “The Genius” Lanny Poffo vs. Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart. Unfortunatly I don’t have a date but I’m pretty sure it’s very early 90’s.

Anyway, I have changed my vote and the new worst match is the New Japan “Island Deathmatch” featuring Hiro Hase vs. Tiger Jeet Singh.

The write-up on the tape says:
New Japan counter the first Jungle Death Match with the Island Deathmatch.

Hiroshi Hase regarded as one of the best wrestlers in New Japan faces Tiger Jeet Singh, a legend of hardcore wrestling brutality. The two men ride boats an island where a ring has been set up. There are no fans, just cameramen and two wrestlers bent on destrying each other.

What I got was what felt like 2 hours of absolute shit. A chinlock held for 10 minutes, so much walking a punching I wanted to gouge out my eyes…

Anyway, check it out if you can. I dare you :-)

Big Brother 7

Thursday, July 27th, 2006


I missed Tuesdays episode because a power outage screwed up my VCR. They’ve been advertising that you can watch full episodes on CBS.com so I headed over there to watch Tuesdays show and all I got were commercials for CBS shows looped over and over. Boo.

Now I won’t get to see Chicken George make all kinds of sacrifices for the veto. Luckily for me I got a great recap explanation.

ECW on Sci Fi 07/25/06 Review

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006


Show opens with Mike Knox and Kelly in the ring. Knox says Kelly can’t take her clothes off anymore and he didn’t abandon her last week after she was caned by the Sandman. Which leads to…

Sandman def. Mike Knox by DQ - Kelly enters the ring to try and shield Knox from cane shots from Sandman, Test enters and he and Knox beat down the Sandman. 1:15 of…. blah.

Backstage Test and Knox discuss their unstoppableness untill they are attacked by a trash-can-wielding Tommy Dreamer.

Also backstage, Sabu is “talking” with Paul Heyman. Sabu wants a title match against the Big Show but Heyman says he won’t make the match… ever. Paul E. tells Sabu to take the night off. In the corner Little Guido is taping up when Heyman approaches him saying he heard Guido muttering something under his breath. Heyman has his riot-police security dudes beat up Guido and drag him to the ring because his match is NEXT!

The Vampire guy who I don’t think has a name yet def. Little Guido - Basically a squash, finished off by a razors edge.

CM Punk promo… Says he lived on the street and fought for everything he ever got and he debuts next week.

Justin Credible def. Balls Mahoney by DQ - The odd push of Balls continues in a watchable match that had moments of sucktitude…. Credible gets the dq win after getting pasted by a chair in a non extreme rules match…

Backstage Show asks Heyman why he can’t take on Sabu. Heyman says Show needs to worry about Kane.

Kurt Angle returns next week.

Big Show def. Kane - Was built similar to the Ric Flair match.. It built to a pretty hot finish. Kane was taking it to the Big Show with his usual offence untill Heyman pulls the ref out of the ring in a pinning attempt allowing Show to grab a chair and nail Kane with it. Chokeslam on said chair and that’s it.

Sabu appears out of nowhere (kinda) and hit Show with a Van-Terminator of sorts off the top to end the show.

Sloan’s New Record

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006


One of my favorite times every couple of years has finally come. Sloan have released the first single from their upcoming album.

Track is called “Who taught you to live that?” It’s a Jay and it’s very cool, almost a 70’s kinda feel to it.

The record is called “Never Hear The End Of It” and will hit stores in Canada on September 19th. I’m excited.

Taste of Edmonton

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006


Last night Chantal took Jonny and I to Taste of Edmonton. I’d never been before so I didn’t know what to expect but it was really cool. Churchill Square is really nice, there were 2 stages with music and lots of great food. I had a really great time.

Liver

Monday, July 24th, 2006


What the hell is going on with Smackdown’s livers? So far Lashley, Khali and now Super Crazy are all out with liver problems and Kid Kash has been suspended for what looks like a violation of the “wellness” policy. Weird.

Big Show vs. Kane on ECW this Tuesday… My soul is slowly dying.

Tex

Sunday, July 23rd, 2006


Make no mistake ladies and gentlemen, Tex Gaines is a very intelligent man. He has shown me my mistakes and has tried to push me in the direction I want to go in…

Thanks Tex, I appreciate what you had to say tonight.
