BBB’s Notebook – WWE Hell in a Cell 2009

-Im over the Undertakers 15 minute entrance. Cut to the chase people.

-Punk and ‘Taker was decent. Well booked with some psychology.

-I thought every match was in the cell, apparently I was mistaken.

-Morrison and Ziggler was quite good. That may be a main event in a few years. They have good chemistry together.

-I wonder how much the Ninja Turtles paid for that box seat.

-You could hear a pin drop during Mickie and Alicia. Not good.

-Jericho/Show vs. Batista/Jericho was a lot of fun. Great finish.

-I think the time is right for a Cena heel turn, it could be epic. He did some pretty solid heel shit back when he first came in and was “rapping.” But who replaces him as #1 baby?

-”Hell in a Cell” is not a fucking noun… Annoys the shit out of me.

-Orton and Cena was ok but too plodding for my taste. And the punt looked SO bad from the camera angle they used. It looked even worse on the slow-mo replay. Awful.

-Orton continues to be an amazing heel. I’d love to see 2009 heel Orton vs. 1987 face Hogan how would you book that?

-Ron Killings is an interesting case study. Do you stay and be a relatively big fish in a small pond in TNA or do you go with a somewhat reduced role in WWE. And what about the differance in $?

-Drew McEntire and R-Truth was blah but they were in ppv no-mans-land….

-The Orton/Legacy promo had shades of an Orton face turn….

-US Title 3-way was good. A nice pallette-cleanser before the main event.

-Loved Legacy jumping DX on the way to the ring.

-Long night for HBK. That’s a LOT of heat…..

-Shawn still sells like a fuckin’ champ.

-I thought HHH coming out with the bolt-cutters would get a bigger pop…

-Locking the cell with both of DX and Rhodes inside was fucking brilliant.

-DX and Legacy was 5 star. Booked SO well. Everything made sense and had a purpose. Not necessarily tremendous from a work-rate perspective but I love the way it played out. Crowd was quieter then I thought they would be though…

Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s been a pretty hectic few days… We headed to Calgary on Friday to have Thanksgiving dinner with my family on Saturday.  It was a pretty good visit, got to watch a Flames game with Merv (which we unfortunatly lost…) and see my neice and nephews who are all getting so big.

We headed out back to Edmonton this morning because I had to work tonight (330-1100 because of the Holiday.) I bailed a little early because I’m sick which sucks.

The Flames are doing epicly well so far, I am cautiously optomistic about our success this year.  Should be a fun season.  The Stamps play in Montreal tommorow at 11 AM which sucks because I will probably be sleeping.

Baseball playoffs are coming along nicely, The Dodgers swept St. Louis and I watch Paplebon blow a huge save that saw the Red Sox get the boot.  The Yankees were leading Minnesota last I heard and should move on as well.  I am now watching game 3 of the Phillies and the Rockies.  It looks cold as fuck in Colorado, I think the MLB playoffs are too late in the year.  I can’t believe the Twins new stadium isn’t a dome….

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Friday Night Smackdown 10/02/09

smackdownTen year anniversary show. Let’s get it on….

-The opening montage was awesome.

-OK, this backstage “party” looks like it could ruin this show.

-Batista and Kane wasn’t as bad as you’d think.

-Brooklyn Brawler, nice.

-Punk interrupting the toast was sweet, but he has the power to establish prohibition?

-Vickie Guerrero is back. Chantal will be so pleased.

-Sheiky Baby!! Careful Zack, he will fuck your ass and make you humble!!

-RIP Eddie.

-Miz and Ziggler vs. Kofi and Morrison was decent.

-Haha! Joey Styles….

-The Rocks vingette was pretty fun.

-Whats with the HBK/Undertaker face-off. Did I miss something?

-8 Man tag main event was hot. Really fun to watch.

BBB’s Notebook – TNA iMPACT! 10/01/09

impact-I hate this whole Foley/Abyss thing and that stupid fucking picture.

-I also hate the cutting away from the ladder match to show Abyss looking for Foley. Disrespectful to the guys working in the ring.

-What a fucked up finish to the ladder match… Creed pukes which totally overshadows the finish. Anticlimatic ending.

-Dr. Stevie and Daffney rule.

-Nash and Stevie was crap.

-ODB and Kong was awful.

-Double Countout? Oh good lord….

-New MCMG theme next week. Ratings!

-The beautiful People “swerve” was awful. Good to see Lacey debut though.

-Angle dressed as the Abyss fan was pretty awesome.

-The Mafia/World Elite brawl was fine and all but look at the crowd. There’s no babyface…. Who do they care about?

-James Storm and Taz were having a grand ol’ time on commentary during the main event.

-What a cluster the main event was. Yeesh.

Jays

Just watched the last televised Blue Jays game of the season. (They play Sunday but its a dark game) They lost to the O’s 6-3 and the season is pretty well over for another year. This year was ugly but I love this team and look forward to next year already.

However, the playoffs begin right away and I am now officially pulling for the LA Dodgers, because I was lucky enough to go to Dodger Stadium this year for a game and its a memory I will always cherish and I hope they do well because of that memory and because of the nice couple that sat behind us at that game. They were cool and answered all of my stupid questions and were so nice they deserve a World Series. Go Dodgers!!!

BBB’s Notebook – WWE RAW 09/28/09

rawWell, The PVR or cable or something messed up so it will only play from the 53 minute mark. Fuck.

-The DX/Legacy promo was painful and made no sense.

-Bourne and Swagger was good considering how short it was.

-Anson Carter has his US title back.

-Chavo has seen the light!! I kinda like that little swerve.

-Cena running the gauntlet, match #1 he wins over Jericho by DQ…. Up next is Big Show.

-The gauntlet match was a waste but the cell coming down was cool.

BBB’s Notebook – ROH on HDNet 09/28/09

rohBig cage match is set for this episode. Let’s go to the video tape…

-Pretty blatant fuck-up by Black and King on the armdrag. Surprised the didn’t chose to edit that out.

-Tyler Black and Jerry Lynn is an interesting combo. Fun tag match.

-I don’t the the ladies of ROH are ready for TV yet.

-Alex Payne and Sonjay was decent. Like the camel clutch submission.

-The Albright/Castagnoli cage match was decent. Nothing that really blew me away.

BBB’s Notebook – ECW on Global 09/26/09

ecw-Tony Atlas is now announcing for the Abraham Washington show? Awesome. Is Washington a worker? Has he wrestled a match in the time I missed?

-Sheamus looks like he should be selling newspapers on the streets of Sheffield in the 1940′s.

-Tony Atlas’s laugh is awesome.

-Tony Atlas has replaced Don West as my new favorite. I hope he stays in this role.

-Listening to Sheamus and Shelton try to have a back-and-forth conversation makes me want to punch myself.

-Yoshi Tatsu is wearing his Misawa tights.

-Tatsu and Birchill was decent.

-Squash is on the menu tonight….

-Christian and Zack Ryder was meh.
