TV
So I always joke around with coworkers that my potential is being wasted doing what I do for a living.
So in discussing this I have decided to take matters into my own hands and myself and some other interested parties are going to start an internet TV show. Short "webisodes" full of stuff that makes us laugh. And if it makes us laugh maybe it will make you laugh as well.
Nothing fancy, just low-fi entertainment in a bite sized package.
I have no timeline for when we will start, but hopefully you will see something sooner then later.
BBB’s Notebook: The Hardcore Diaries by Mick Foley
Well, I’m sure I am in the minority, but on the whole I don’t think this was a very good book.
Its not totally without merit, the story of the buildup to One Night Stand was quite enthralling, and to be honest it was the only part of the book that wasn’t throw-away to me.
A lot of it seemed very self-serving and tried too hard to be humorous.
The amount of name dropping was staggering and there was a definite political agenda as well that I could have done without.
Maybe I look for something different in a “wrestling book.” What it can teach me, what I can learn about the business and what I can learn about certain performers but I don’t think I really learned anything, but perhaps that wasn’t the point.
I do however enjoy the recounting of certain events that I can go back and watch tapes and dvd’s of and see it from a different perspective.
I guess I just didn’t get what I was looking for out of this one.
BBB’s Notebook: ECW 12/18/07
I haven’t watched ECW since about September so I have no idea what’s cookin’. Here we go…….
-Morrison and The Miz are tag champs? Fuck I am out of it…
-Shannon Moore looks relatively normal…. Is he on Smackdown now?
-Yang is underrated.
-Wow, Yang and Moore vs. Morrison and Miz was really good.
-Benjamin destroyed that jobber…. What’s his deal, the gold standard? Is he on ECW full time now?
-Kofi Kingston…. Interesting.
-Victoria is with Kenny Dykstra? I don’t like all these SD guys on ECW. Its stripping the show of its identity.
-Nunzio the elf…….?
-Dykstra’s leap to the top was impressive, but its the only part of the match I will remember.
-Punk vs. MVP was good, didn’t like the dq finish but it made sense considering the circumstance.
-A Punk/Chavo feud could produce some quality matched.
The show was good but the “Smackdown Talent Exchange” kind of dilutes the feel and identity of the show.
Stern
Listening to The Best of Stern 2007 right now, everyone need to listen to Stern.
Even if just to blow out what you think the show is all about. He is the best celebrity interviewer on the fucking planet.
