BBB’s Notebook – TNA Impact 04/19/10

impact-Ok Rob, cut to the chase…

-Good god I feel like I’ve been watching this promo for days.

-Hardy vs. Van Dam tonight. On paper it could be a lot of fun. Winner gets a shot at AJ and the belt.

-Crowd is pretty hot tonight.

-Since when do cameramen talk to the guys as they film. Interesting idea.

-Tazz looks good in baby blue lol.

-Knockouts tag match was blah.

-Rob Terry. Good god… Nice press slam jackass….

-”Who the hell are you anyway!?” Awesome.

-Enough with the Ass…

-New ranking system next week… I’m sure I will need a calculator to figure this shit out.

-Hour #1 featured a grand total of one match. Sad….

-RVD and Hardy was decent. 2 commercial breaks was annoying however.

-The 2 of them watching the hilites of their match was a bizarre segment.

-I didn’t order the ppv last night but its ok I guess… I get to watch the main event tonight for free.

-Team Flair and Team Hogan was good. Joes return was handled well. OJ’s bubble wrap vest was awesome.

-Styles and Van Dam was weak, I expected more. The confetti was odd. And why the fuck does Hogan have to present him with the belt?? Its about RVD. So weirdly done…

BBB’s Notebook – TNA Impact 04/12/10

impact-I like the new TNA shirt Jarrett was wearing.

-So AJ and Wolfe are tagging tonight? Did Wolfe not just say last week he should be facing Styles at Lockdown?

-Did they move the announce table and put a screen behind it? Not bad…

-Did Hall forget his gear? What the fuck?

-The finish to Team 3D and the Band was awful. Bubba pointed at me so I better stop what I’m doing!!

-What fuck is Dillygaf??

-Moore and Kazarian was good but that arm drag spot after the body-scissors could have ended very badly for Kaz.

-Velvet Sky was looking more hooterific then usual.

-The picture of Hogan and Dixie on his desk is hilarious. Not his son or daughter…

-HAHAHAA Be a man Hulk!! Lethal is awesome.

-Someone tell Tara we’ve already used that fuckin’ line once tonight, in the LAST SEGMENT!

-”Does Pope has it, or doesn’t he?” Who writes this shit…

-The Angelina/Velvet “match” was so brutally bad.

-I love how they refer to the invisible “TNA Management” all the time. Wouldn’t that be Bischoff/Hogan?

-Abyss was hit by a car? At least we know it wasn’t Rikishi. What…. Too soon?

-Some of the stuff Red and the Guns pulled off was hot!

-Gee, Morgan beat up Red. What a shock. That’s something they could have run with for a few weeks. An odd couple sort of gimmick.

-Did they censor the fire spot on Hardy? Lame.

-Jesus. We just saw the Angle/Anderson vingettes on Reaction before the show.

-Flair can walk! Its a miracle!!

BBB’s Notebook – TNA Reaction 04/12/10

reactionI have no idea what this show is supposed to be all about. Let’s go to the video tape….

-Looks to be an interview/recap show similar to Confidential after seeing the opening promo.

-But more work then Confidential.

-The backstage interviews are interesting. Gives it that behind the scenes look they are going for.

-And what’s great for them is that they can recycle most of this stuff for the Lockdown pre-show.

-I want a dvd full of RVD’s old ECW promo’s. “Is that you’re only suit Sabu?”

-The backstage conversation between Jeff Hardy and RVD seemed like one they would have without the camera. Van Dam puts himself over and Hardy is very agreeable…

-Did a good job of building up Angle and Anderson. But now they need to deliver.

-Preview for Impact was a nice touch at the end right before the episode begins.

-Lots of recap clips and interviews. Not bad for what it was but I don’t think I would make it a must-see part of my viewing week. Nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Monday Night Raw 04/06/10

raw-Swagger was sweating like a pig during his promo. Who is he, me??

-Someone needs to cut Sheamus‘s promo time in half. They aren’t bad, just long winded.

-Love the gimmick sparks flying from the Monitor HHH hit.

-Sign of the night: “Will trade sister for hotdog.”

-The Divas evening-gown-whatever-the-fuck-that-was was awful.

-How many times do we have to watch that Otunga vingette. Thank god for ffwd.

-Cena/Batista vs. ShowMiz was kind of a waste. Had to be a better way.

-DiBiase with the Million Dollar Belt. Awesome.

-Fortunate Son. Great name. Tremendous.

-DiBiase and Christian was decent.

-Draft on April 26th… Might want to try and watch that live.

-Orton vs. Swagger was good but it doesn’t say much for your new Champion does it?

-GREAT finish to Cena/Otunga vs. ShowMiz. And it gives people a reason to watch NXT to hear Otunga explain himself.

-Cena vs. Batista (again) at Extreme Rules.

BBB’s Notebook – TNA Impact 04/05/10

impact-”Brother” count in Hogan‘s promo: 5.

-Jesus, is the spitting on the camera really necessary?

-Robert Roode is a cowboy? Someone fill Ric in on his fucking team….

-Chelsea needs her boobs done.

-Ok this promo is long as hell. Move on.

-Im an RVD mark. I admit it.

-Someone tell Storm he’s a heel and not to do the “Beer!” Thing anymore.

-RVD and James Storm was decent but the split-legged moonsault is not a finish.

-The TNA Knockout 4 box clusterfuck is overbooking at its finest.

-Hamada is kinda cute….

-Homicide, haven’t seen him in ages. I guess when you push Hall, Waltman and the Nasty Boys, someone has to get cut…

-And he jobs to Rob Terry and the internet weeps…

-Hahahaaa they had to put the Knockout stips on the screen because its confusing as fuck.

-Tara wins the first key, apparently they open the boxes after the match?

-And a Daffney and Velvet win keys….

-And Angelina. Ok, let’s see where this debacle leads….

-Apparently we open the boxes later. Time for the Ladder Match.

-Angles bump to the floor was sick.

-The parts of the ladder match I paid attention to were ok.

-BTLS, best TNA heel since Don West. Heard this clip on the Stern show and out of context it was lame and on the show it was lame. Lethal steals the promo anyway.

-3D and the Guns was good until the Band run in. I do agree with Nash though, The Band is a brutal name.

-Bubba must be in his fuckin’ glory….

-Elijah‘s runnin’ with the ball.

-Liked Williams promo. Good and logical angle. Williams rolling German is still awesome.

-Pope and Wolfe was a waste. Why even do it. The journey means something… Just a reminder.

-OK, time for the Knockouts to open their boxes.. (Giggle)

-Velvet gets the open contract.

-Tara gets her fucking spider….

-Angelina gets the Knockouts title which means Daffney has to strip. Lame.

-Lacey interrupts Daffney so she can strip… So poorly done. Angelina and Tara scrap….

-And Velvet cashed in her contract for a leather and lace match with Angelina. Brutal.

BBB’s Notebook – WWE Friday Night Smackdown 04/02/10

smackdown-Jerichos promo was hot. He’s on such a roll right now.

-Swagger cashes in his MitB and becomes World Champion. Pretty unexpected and poorly done in my opinion.

-Shad turns on JTG… Packing a lot into the first 40-or-so minutes of SD.

-What the fuck is True Jackson VP?

-Hog Splash!! LoL

-Oh that Swagger….

-Khali’s foot touched the bottom rope….? But a huge win for Ziggler.

-Bye Khali. See you in a few months.

-Serena has a huge rack.

-Beth Phoenix dominates!

-Kane and the NXT roster was interesting. Unsure of the purpose but interesting nonetheless.

News, Views and Schmooze

Well… It’s been a while since I posted anything on what’s going down in Boris-world and I figure this is as good a time as any. I’m watching the Raw after WrestleMania and figure I’d throw down some stuff on the site.

First and foremost, as I’m sure most already know I have a new job. After just over 7 years I have left Best Buy. There’s a lot I could say about BBY but most of it wouldn’t realy interest anyone but I met some great people and had some great experiences but I think I took it as far as I could and really as far as I wanted too. It was time to branch out and leave the comfort zone and try something new which is exactly what I did.

I’m now in the General Manager Training program at Safeway. Working out of the Cromdale store. It’s been a few weeks and there is a LOT to learn but it’s going well and I hope to help that store return to prominence. If you’re in the neighborhood (and why the fuck would you be??) Come by and say hi.

And I find it greatly amusing that Mr. Tyler Lewis and myself have started a Best Buy veteran exile that continues to grow. There are a lot of great people at BBY and several of them have recently left the company for greener pastures and I’m happy for each and every one of them. I wish them all great amounts of success. I could also do a little mocking of the last BBY GM I worked for who was recently….. Removed but that would be unclassy of me, and I’m a classy motherfucker.

In other news, I’ve finished a few books recently….

“I Slept With Joey Ramone” by Mickey Leigh (Joeys brother) was tremendous. It gave a lot of insight into the life of Joey Ramone and the Ramones as a band and keeps it real. The good, the bad and the ugly is exposed and its raw and real like it or not. Word is that its been optioned as a film, very curious as to the potential casting.

I also just finished “Why We Suck” by Denis Leary. I’ve been a fan of Learys comedy for many years and when I came across the book by accident and Indigo I was stoked and it didn’t disappoint. Everyone should read this book. Women will understand their husbands more clearly, white people will understand black people and vice versa and we will pretty much just be better off as humanity if you check out the book.

Musically I’ve been checking out a lot of stuff thanks to how fucking easy it is to spend money on iTunes. “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” by Phoenix is incredible. I slept on this one for a long time and wish I would have jumped on it earlier as its more then stellar.

Also, “I Liked It Better When You Had No Heart” by Butch Walker and the Black Widows is awesome. I’ve read Gregory McDonalds twitter over the past few months and he was playing with them and talked about Walker a lot. I took a chance on it and was pleasantly surprised. (For those that don’t know, and if you don’t you suck, Gregory McDonald has been playing keyboards etc for Sloan at gigs for the past few years.)

Also, the latest Nitzer Ebb, Attack in Black, Band of Skulls, Features, HIM, Joel Plaskett, KMFDM, Sloan, Prodigy, Rural Alberta Advantage and Vampire Weekend are all worth giving a spin.

I’m also checking out some older bands like The Pixies, Stiff Little Fingers and the Beta Band (yes, because of the movie, fuck you.)

In terms of movied, loved Observe and Report, it was funny and I have a man-crush on Seth Rogen. Wanna check out Cop Out because of my man-crush on Kevin Smith.

WrestleMania was last Sunday, I will need to watch it again when the dvd comes out because we spent too much time fucking around during the actual ppv (as you’ll see in 3BTV.)

Speaking of 3BTV, I don’t know if anyone cares or watches but I enjoy putting things out in the world. Things like this site or my twitter. I’m sure no one gives a shit what I say but I feel better putting it out there. Look up Catharsis kids.

That’s it for now. Behave yourselves, or Tex will come to get you…. And I can make it happen…

BBB’s Notebook – High Flyers of the WWF (1989)

Its always fun to go back to the old Coliseum Videos every now and then. Let’s go…

-Mean Gene is our host…

-Match #1 features “Wrestling Superstar” Virgil with Ted DiBiase vs. The Macho Man. Savage is WWF Champion at this point.

-Lots of interference by the Million Dollar Man. Virgil misses a big splash off the top and the tide turns in a big way. But more distraction put Virg back in control. But as Ted tries to buy off Liz, Mach hits the patented axehandle and the big elbow for the win.

-Up next is tag action. The Conquistadors (introduced as “from somewhere in Latin America” vs. The Rockers.

-They’re using a spotlight in the ring which is pretty odd. Lots of double team moves from the Rockers but the Conquistadors take over with the old school ground and pound heat. Hot Tag! To the future HBK which leads to victory with a top rope cross body at the Boston Garden. Good times.

-Next up is the Glamour Girls taking on the Jumping Bomb Angels for the Womens Tag Team Titles (?)

-The Angels were way ahead of their time. Pretty entertaining back and forth match with a clash of styles. Angels retain with a sweet roll up on Judy Martin at the Spectrum in Philly.

-More tag action follows featuring the Shadows vs Jim Powers and Paul Fucking Roma!! The greatest of all the Horsemen… SKIP!

-More tag action with Koko B. Ware and the Blue Blazer vs. Danny Davis and Estrada.

-Owen gets the pin after a splash off the top. Pretty standard job match.
