Bam’s Unholy Union

I watched the premiere of Bams Unholy Union last night. It strikes me that in the past (i.e. Jackass and Viva La Bam) he was just being his normal overly-mischevious self but on this show he’s playing it up a little for the camera. I could be wrong but that’s what it looked like to me.

But that being said I still enjoyed it and it was nice to see the crew like Dico and Rake again. And the little trick Missy played on him with the wedding dress shows to me that she ‘gets’ him and they are a good pair. I’ll probably keep watching.

BBB’s Notebook: WrestleMania XII

Another stellar review….

Vader, Owen Hart, and Davey Smith defeated Jake Roberts, Yokozuna, and Ahmed Johnson (12:51) – Decent match, Vader splashed and pinned Jake after interference from James E. Cornette. I liked it and probably would have liked it more if I was more familiar with the storyline going in.

Hollywood Backlot Brawl: Roddy Piper and Goldust – The pre-tapes brawl outside was stiff and fun, but the white bronco shit was kinda lame but topical I suppose. I slept through the live in-ring stuff.
Steve Austin pinned Savio Vega (10:00) – Austin had become “Stone Cold” but was still with Ted DiBiase. Decent match won with the Million Dollar Dream.

Ultimate Warrior pinned Hunter Hearst Helmsley (1:36) – Slept through it.

The Undertaker pinned Diesel (16:46) – Slept through it.

World Heavyweight Title Match (Ironman Match): Shawn Michaels pinned Bret Hart (1:01.52) – Slept throught it but it’s a classic. Fuck, After I finish watching the box set I’m going to have to watch thedamn thing again.

Sweet

I loved this show, and a special edition dvd is a cool idea. I remember watching it on closed circuit TV in Calgary. Kinda makes me sad that notmany fans nowadays know what closed circuit TV was all about.

Apparently there is a feature on the dvd that plays the show with facts that pop up, similar to pop up video. Could be very cool.

Time to go watch WrestleMania XII… I can’t name one match from that show. Expect another sleep-filled review.

BBB’s Notebook: WrestleMania XI

This will be the worst review ever.

The Allied Powers (Lex Luger and Davey Smith) defeated Jacob and Eli Blue (6:34) – The match seemed ok but I fell asleep before the finish.

Intercontinental Heavyweight Title Match: Razor Ramon defeated Jeff Jarrett (13:32) by Disqualification. – Decent match, Double J gets DQ’d after interference by the Roadie. Then the 123 Kid whips ass and does that weird hand thing.

The Undertaker pinned King Kong Bundy (6:36). – Slept through it.

World Tag Team Title Match: Owen Hart and Yokozuna defeated The Smoking Gunns (Bart and Billy) (9:42) – Slept through it.

“I Quit” Match: Bret Hart defeated Bob Backlund (9:34) – Slept through it.

World Heavyweight Title Match: Diesel pinned Shawn Michaels (20:35) – Pretty good match considering Nash is a pile of shit. Michaels bumped his ass off to make them both look good. Diesel got the win with a horrible jack-knife powerbomb.

Lawrence Taylor pinned Bam Bam Bigelow (11:42). – Sucked as a match but good as an event if that makes any sense. LT gets the win after sacking Bam Bam off the middle rope.

Told you, worst review ever. Going to try and finish the Box Set by time WM rolls around, starting to get excited for it. Also, looking forward to seeing the WM III special edition dvd.

Pumpkins’ New Album Title

Smashing Pumpkins have revealed the title of their first new album since 2000′s ‘MACHINA/The Machines Of God’.

The current incarnation of Smashing Pumpkins features only two original members, Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin. The remaining line-up of the band is as yet unknown.

The album’s release date is unusually a Saturday, presumably so the release date can be presented as: 07.07.07.

Smashing Pumpkins have also announced two more European festival dates for the summer, in Austria and Switzerland.

They now call at:
Nuremburg Nürburgring (June 2)
