BBB’s Notebook – TNA Impact 05/27/10

impact2-Can you say asshole on TV? Apparently so…

-What a pointless opening segment.

-3 Way tag with 3D and Ink Inc was good.

-AJ‘s been looking for Ric all day? Did they not just have a promo off
the top of the show?

-Kaz and Lethal was decent.

-OK guys, we’ll pretend we didn’t see the ace of spades too…

-RVD and Sting segment added no pep to their feud.

-Wow, over an hour until we see Hogan. I’m pretty shocked.

-Half Pint Brawlers looks… Ummm…

-Taz and Puppet seemed to hit it off pretty well.

-Wolfe used the slapjack!! Stevie-Ray should sue for gimmick
infringement.

-AJ and Anderson was good as well. Wish it had a few more minutes.

A classic for Calgary

By Mike Board
It’s unofficially, official — the Calgary Flames are slated to host an outdoor Winter Classic in 2011.

The NHL formally announced a game between the Flames and the Montreal Canadiens will be staged at McMahon Stadium on February 20, 2011, pending approval from the NHL Player’s Association.

Commissioner Gary Bettman made the annoucement in Chicago on Friday, on the eve of the Stanley Cup.

“The NHL also hopes to play an outdoor regular season game in Canada next season and will be discussing the plan with the Competition Committee in June,” said Bettman.

“The Heritage Classic would be played at McMahon Stadium in Calgary on Sunday, February 20 and would feature the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames. CBC and RDS would carry the game in Canada and VERSUS would telecast the outdoor match in the United States.

“Assuming plans for the game are approved, it will be the first NHL regular season game contested outdoors in Canada since the Edmonton Oilers hosted the Canadiens at first Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium on November 22, 2003.”

The NHLPA and the NHL had discussions about an outdoor game in Canada for last season but Bettman said there was not enough time to make a game a reality.

“Consider this a soft announcement,” said Bettman.

“It is my hope and expectation that this will not be an issue,” said Bettman of gaining approval from the NHLPA.

The game at McMahon would be the second outdoor game of the 2010 season for the NHL. The Pittsburgh Penguins will host the Washington Capitals at Heinz Field on New Year’s Day.This will be the second time that a Canadian city has hosted an outdoor game after Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium set the standard in the inaugural Winter Classic between the Oilers and Canadiens in 2003.

This will also be the second time that the Pittsburgh Penguins have been involved in the Winter Classic after they faced the Buffalo Sabres at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2008.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Monday Night Raw 05/25/10

raw-Looks like Raw is going with white ropes now. I wonder why.

-Bret is the GM of Raw? Oh god why?

-Qualifying matches for the fatal 4 way ppv tonight.

-Apparently Orton qualifies over Batista because he can’t compete.
Wow. And Batista quits. Word is he’s on the way out. I wonder if this
is it for Big Dave.

-Sheamus qualifies for Fatal 4 Way after a blah match with Mark Henry.

-John Lovitz and Maryse‘s vingette was hilarious.

-Why does Bret smile when he’s being insulted? He’s almost as bad as
Kelly Kelly.

-Bret abdicates the US title? What the fuck was the point?

-Truth wins the US title over Miz. Match was meh.

-John Lovitz is doing the hidden talents of the WWE Superstars? Didn’t
we already do this shit when the Osbournes hosted?

-DiBiase‘s gonna buy this guys fuckin’ eyeball? And now here comes
Santino. Clusterfuck. And down goes Virgil like a ton of bricks. This
is fuckin’ awful.

-Apparently a new tag team has emerged. Samoans.

-Cole is gonna sue Daniel Bryan if he doesn’t apologize. Oh no!!

-Cena’s bleeding!! Stop the match!!

-The walls of Jericho/STF spot was cool.

-Edge wins a decent Raw main event to qualify for the ppv.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Over The Limit 2010

-Kofi and Drew McIntyre was a really solid opener. Kingston wins the
IC title in an entertaining contest.

-Was Serena holding Axe hair gel during Punks promo? Product placement!!

-I would have shaved a minute or two off of Truth and DiBiase. And
Virgil needs to go, he was cool for. One-shot but nothing more.

-Gilette. More product placement.

-The Rey into the barber chair spot was awesome.

-This whole stopping the match for blood bullshit is brutal totally
killed the flow of the match. Crowd wasn’t pleased.

-Aside from the blood stoppage nonsense, Misterio and Punk was
flawless. The best match of the series.

-Kane helping Misterio was kind of odd.

-Punk almost got Raven‘d in that hair cut. (look it up.)

-Harts vs. Miz and Jericho was quite good. TJ looked like a million
bucks.

-Uh oh Randy…. I think we need an RNN update on the status of your
shoulder. That’s such a horrible thing to happen on a live PPV. Crowd
hates the double countout but sometimes when shit goes down like that
you have to improvise. Wonder who was supposed to go over.

-I was enjoying Show and Swagger, it was well booked but the dq finish
was horse shit.

-Eve’s finisher on Maryse was interesting.

-Leave Carlos and Hugo alone!

-Cena and Batista was hard hitting and fun. The backing up of the car
was a bit much but I enjoyed the match.

I read a lot of negative reviews for this show but I quite enjoyed it.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE NXT 05/23/10

-Pretty interesting answers from the pros when asked what they were
looking for.

-Barrett and Young was decent.

-Danielsons comments were quite interesting.

-The segment with Danielson and Michael Cole was the most compelling
television the WWE has done in a long time.

-Cole walking out made it even better.

-The pro’s poll eliminates Darren Young unsurprisingly. But the story
of the night is Daniel Bryan.

-I liked Youngs speech.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Friday Night Smackdown 05/21/10

smackdown- What was with the steel cage music during the SES haircuts?

-Kelly Kelly annoys me but her work is improving drastically.

-JTG and Croft was good but sloppy.

-Apparently Lester loves chicken.

-Hawkins and Archer looked ok together.

-The Big Show vingettes are awesome. The guy is charisma on wheels.

-Kofi and Swagger was good but man is the champ ever getting buried.

-A Ziggler/Christian feud could be pretty hot.

-Punk and Gallows vs. Rey and MVP was quite good.

BBB’s Notebook – TNA Impact 05/20/10

impact2-At first I hated the top ten contender vingettes but as it went on it
grew on me.

-Roxxi looks great. Her finisher was awesome but she almost had a
Wardrobe malfunction.

-Angles been in TNA for four years? Wow.

-Interesting idea with Angle wanting to wrestle all the top ten. Could
be great.

-Rob Terry kind of looks like Craig Ferguson

-OJ’s entrance is… Interesting.

-You could hear a pin drop during Jordan and Terry.

-Lethal and RVD vs. Beer Money was quick but fun.

-Line of the night “ooh zinger..”

-I can’t decide if Wolfes broken bottle was overkill or compelling
television.

-Kazarian wins the 4 minute x-division battle royal to get the number
ten spot in the top ten contenders.

-Anderson helps Jeff Hardy beat Sting in a lackluster match.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Monday Night Raw 05/18/10

-Bret and Jerichos segment was too long. Bret is awful.

-Commercial free (except in Canada…) Haha.

-The WWE Shop spot was kinda funny.

-Edge vs. Christian was quite good. Wouldn’t mind seeing a long term
feud between the two.

-But what’s this? Christian wasn’t Edges opponent. It’s the
Undertaker. Interesting.

-Buz Aldrin. Horrid.

-DiBiase with Virgil. Fucking brilliant.

-Bret wins the US title in quite the cluster of a match. Hate it.

-Orton and Swagger was good until the run in.

-Holy Fuck get Buzz out of the ring!

-Bourne and Kim vs. Ryder and Alicia was a great match.

-PVR cut off the end of Cena and Sheamus.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE NXT 05/16/10

nxt-Its elimination night which could prove interesting.

-And Daniel Bryan has also been eliminated. Interesting.

-Tarver got future endevor’d by Striker.

-Cole Miners?

-Danielsons elimination interview was awesome but what was with the
camera??

-Otunga and Gabriel was awful.

-The Pro’s Poll eliminates Skip Sheffield.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Friday Night Smackdown 05/14/10

Kofi wins the IC title.

with a mysterious letter.

-Dudebusters vs. JTG and MVP was a fun little match.

-Punk said “get the poison out.” A hidden shout-out?

split on the way
