WOOOO AINNNN'T HE GRRRREAT, EVERYONE.

'Spend my day working hard on the go
But the hands on the clock keep spinning too slow '
Cause I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
You know my baby's got me wrapped around her little old finger '
Cause she knows that I'd walk through hell and back just to be with her
Oh I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
Turn the lights off bar the doors
And we'll leave all the worries of the world behind
Hold me in your arms never let me go
Baby it's true - I got a one track mind
But it's hard to concentrate around a girl like mine
And I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
Turn the lights off bar the doors
And we'll leave every worry in this world behind
Hold me in your arms never let me go
I'm the kinda guy who likes to do things right so you won't find me
complaining if it takes all night
I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
Maybe what we're doing might be wrong
How in the world could we be wrong
Never knew that love could take so long
Never knew that love could take so long
Well I wake up in her arms with the sunlight peaking through the curtains in
my room and there's just one thing I'm thinking
I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
Don't you know I lose my mind when I'm thinking about being with my baby tonight
Turn the lights off bar the doors
And we'll leave every worry in this world behind
Hold me in your arms never let me go
I wake up in her arms with the sunlight peaking through the curtains in my room
and I swear that all I thinking is I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
You know that I lose my mind when I'm thinking about beeing with my baby tonight
I can't wait to be alone with my
Can't wait I can't wait to be alone with my
Oh I can't wait I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight I can't wait to
be alone with my I
Can't wait I can't wait to be alone with my
Oh I Can't wait I can't wait to be alone with my baby tonight
Baby tonight Baby tonight Baby tonight

Unreal that this isn't being offered as an iPPV or DVD. But as we discussed earlier their fideo quality and production is haphazard.

Have they decided the format of the show. Last I read they were debating making it some type of performance action show and not a true wrestling product......

You know, they really should have let Cena take that break that he was asking for when he beat Lesnar back in '12, because reading about his current shoulder problems, it seems like all that time in the ring has caught up to him. He really deserves some time off at the very least.

I don't why, but I've always felt that the MVC were just an okay team. Maybe it's because to me Gordy was very bland compared to the other top gaijins at the time. Now on the other hand, Johnny Ace & Steve Williams, were an awesome team.
Click to expand...

Probably depends on what drugs he was on at the time. I'll have to watch a Gordy match today. Can't decide on a Gordy/Hansen tag or MVC.

Oh I would bank on it being a DVD. They may not be able to do iPPVs in Easton though, it is not the best environment for it. I wonder if they'll do the next day DVD/VOD thing like they've done in the past, though. Haphazard isn't the word I would use for their production, though.

Eh, most people like the live aspect, which is fine. It just opens it up to a proverbial clown car of issues.

Also, concern about Cena's neck? Here's 16 Germans!

Cena keeps that stuff close to his chest if Total Divas is to be believed. Which, I know it can't necessarily be, but it sure seemed like he hadn't made his elbow injury well known.

Probably. Being the guy seems like his main focus in life, so he's probably not keen on letting anything show.

Also, never lend money to/buy stuff from/dropkick any girls you like, ever

I do want to see a solid run with Cena and whomever as a tag team. I actually can't think of any matches where he was in a tag team but its something I would like to see. Even if just for 6 or 9 months.

'Leprechaun: Origins': Film Review


leprechaun_origins-1200x675.jpg
Click to expand...
As catchphrases go, "Fuck you, Lucky Charms" is unlikely to enter the cinema pantheon. But it's probably the most memorable line in Leprechaun: Origins, Lionsgate and WWE Studios' attempt to reboot the venerable franchise that began in 1993 and spawned no less than five sequels, albeit all straight-to-video ones. Anyone with fond memories of the campy original (and that probably doesn't include Jennifer Aniston, who made her screen debut in it), should steer clear of this edition, whose title character has no devilish charm at all. Receiving a token theatrical release, the film could pull in some coin on VOD.

WWE star Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postl, a little person wrestler, doesn't deliver any witty quips. Instead, he's a disgustingly feral creature, looking like a reject from the Alien or Predator films, whose sole utterances are savage grunts and shrieks. Not that you ever get a good look at him; director Zach Lipovsky provides only fleeting, shadowy glimpses, never once providing a full-body shot. Much of the action is shot shaky-camera style from the creature's night-vision-esque POV, which suggests that he's in serious need of LASIK surgery.

Watched Raw Monday night and that was a forgettable show. Why does the WWE have such sporatic storylines. Wyatt was fighting with Jericho( which I hoped would lead to Jericho joining the Wyatts) and then he's fighting Cena. Reigns is fighting Rollins after two matches with Orton.

I also watched two episodes of the The Monday night wars. Pretty good so far. I just wish WWE would do some inventive again. Makes me miss the Attitude era.

I really don't see Cena winning at NOC. With the reports of his injuries piling up, I think this could be a way to write him out of the shows (at least wrestling wise) for a couple of months. Because the Lesnar video from Monday just promises a bigger ass kicking than SummerSlam.

Or they could just let Cena win and let him wrestle himself into an early grave. Whatever works

Nah, it earned the D a plus, though. Too much rule-breaking that didn't stop the match. There was even a moment on a ropebreak that got on my nerves and distracted my brain. The ref was like "1! 2! 3! Break the hold! 1! 2! Why I oughta! 1! 2! 3!" Dude was just senselessly breaking his own count for no reason. I mean, I guess this happens a lot in wrasslin' but it was in my face and distracting. As were the silly run-ins [edit:] that were right in front of the ref's face and did NOT stop the match, of course. I was into the story, though. Two faces that were going over the top to win it all, etc. etc.

I once lent my best friend £300 for a deposit. I didn't professmy love for her, because I don't, but she bought me hot wings when she paid back as interest, so it all worked out.

Also, my mum is coming up this weekend to see the city I live in and probably outdrink everyone in whatever bar we go to. Should be fun.

I would say 70% of shows have ended with either the face, or heel staring in shock at someone, or something on the ramp while holding onto the top rope.

Don't forget that for a third of the year it ends with a shot of the WM sign. Either someone staring away from it up the ramp, pointing at it, or doing a combination of the two.

The interference bugged me, but not because it wasn't causing DQs. I just didn't want that in the match. The other problems didn't bother me. I think it was great and one of the top WWE matches of the 90s.

I don't even know what the point of a non-camp Leprechaun movie would be. And not ever showing a full body shot is really dumb. That shaky cam mention in that review make me think that they get WWE cameramen to do the filming.

At some point, the modern WWE would step in and force him to retire, I think.

I don't think they want any stories about wrestlers being permanently crippled, paralyzed or even die in the ring if they can help it.

I wasn't really paying attention when Edge retired. Was it solely his choice? Was the WWE willing to let him continue wrestling if he wanted to?

Well, they'd have to shift away from the one single focal point philosophy. But Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and RKO looks like a pretty bright future to me.
