I just did a double take because I thought Frankman was participating in the Big Show avatar party but then realized it's just that Knicks coach whose name isn't worth knowing and can't even be aRsed to google.
Oh well.

I always thought Wes Brisco was the goofiest looking guy around.
Then he let his hair down cause thats what bad guys do and now he looks half 'normal'. Or rather he looks more like a wrestler now at least instead of just some completely random person who wandered in off the street and doesn't really know what is going on but is really happy to be there.

Wait...Ivelisse lost Gut Check despite winning the match last week?
...the fuck, TNA?

Okay, so this is pretty cool: http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/29/road-to-wrestlemania
I think it's some weird kind of FU to the fans or it's their weird fascination with "names" being signed, now then can go SECOND GENERATION WRESTLER and SHE IS THE NIECE OF THE BARBARION two hundred times on commentary or something.

Man, I can't get used to the sight of unmasked Generico;
So wrong.
Jeez, sucks for Ivellise - I can see why they went with the other girl though. She may have a stupid name, but she's pretty big for a women's wrestler and, as you say, has that second generation "pedigree", if we can call it that. Still, BOOOOO TNA!!

This little upstart CM Punk, who does he think he is. Looks like an overly aggressive Kurt Cobain. He'll never make it.

The Generic Luchador unmasked has become the Generic Indie Guy. Awful.
Just because he wrestled one match on an NXT house show without a mask and under his real name (seriously, not a single wrestler in over 5 years in WWE was allowed to wrestle under his actual non-trademarkable name) doesn't mean that's his gimmick from now on.
So relax a little and wait until his TV debut.

What if he's actually a CAW going forward? Would you get angry?

Watching some matches from the 1992 New Japan Top of the Super Jr's tournament, first on the compilation is Wild Pegasus (***** ******) vs Flying (2 Cold) Scorpio - this match has one of the fastest turn-around's in terms of crowd reaction I've ever seen. I think it was Scorpio's debut, too. They start off with a test of strength, both guys taking it in turns to bridge out, but the crowd really don't give a shit. Then Pegasus fucks up a monkey flip and they transition into a really, really awkward pinning sequence. Someone in the crowd shouts out something and the whole place bursts into laughter, but just then Pegasus elevates Scorpio who flips in mid-air and hits a big standing drop kick, sending his opponent to the floor. Scorpio jumps through the ropes with a baseball slide, holding on to the top rope, he skins the cat and then springboards outside with a crossbody! Crowd goes crazy. That was really fun to see and both guys bring it from that point on as Scorpio takes control. Pegasus hits a wonderful tilt-a-whirl into a crucifix bomb for a near-fall, before scoring with a huge suicide dive! Scorpio cuts his opponent off as they get back in and hits a plancha, before rolling Pegasus in and trying for a tombstone, but Pegasus counters and hits a tombstone of his own. Instead of going for the pin, Pegasus heads up top, but Scorpio narrowly avoids the diving headbutt. Scorpio tries to lock in a Boston crab, but Pegasus twists his body and cradles Scorpio for the 3-count! Enjoyable match, both guys were so smooth once they got going. Up next, Liger vs Finlay!

I don't know which generic name I like the most!
I'm still trying to get my brother to go. The complicated thing is that it's opening day baseball and the Nationals are home. I wouldn't mind drinking at the game and then going to Verizon Center to watch the Raw before WM... but I don't know if we'll make it work.
What about Basic Barry?

Seems the Super Smash Brothers won't be at PWG's All Star Weekend 9 because PWG can't afford their flights from Canada, as they're bringing in a lot of expensive talent this month
So, the replacement matches will be;
. Night 1: The Inner-City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) vs AR Fox & Samuray Del Sol
. Night 2: F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano) vs The RockNES Monsters (Johnny Goodtime & Johnny Yuma)
Still an incredibly stacked card, and, as great as the SSB are, I think I prefer the Night 1 match as it is now to be honest.
Winner.
Routine Rodney.

WCW Monday Nitro 3/5/2001
I hope this is better than Thunder, because Thunder was one of the least interesting wrestling shows I've ever seen.
The show starts with Rick Steiner in the ring in mid promo on Booker T. He says that Booker was nothing without his brother. I assume this was supposed to be an ironic promo. Booker comes out. Booker wants a match right now.
Booker T vs Rick Steiner WCW US Championship
Is it weird that I wouldn't be surprised to find that Rick Steiner had a secret career as a muscle bear? Under a different name, of course. Like Robbie Rich or something. Rick can't pull off purple the same way Scott can. Interesting tiger driver from Steiner. Kind of looked like Rodney Mack's, but less head droppy.
Booker kind of did a super jackhammerplex. He did the float over a bit early. BOTCH from Booker getting out of a DVD. Rick just fell backwards.
Scott hits the ring and the match is thrown out. Out comes DDP. Scott tries to fly over the top, but just bounces off the ropes.
I think someone tried to get in the ring because DDP darted off screen and then there was a tight shot on Booker. Einsteiners vs DDP and Booker T T T! It will happen tonight!
Show run down. Jeff Jarrett vs Dusty Rhodes. DUSTY RHODES IS WRESTLING TONIGHT! Zero hype for it. Cruiser tag tournament continues.
Air Raid vs Elix Skipper/Kid Romeo
Kid Romeo's "debut". Despite him wrestling and winning matches on Nitro/Thunder last year. Kid Romeo's music is a JHV of Livin La Vida Loca. CALLED IT. AJ's arms look so tiny. Poor Air Paris. He's the only guy who didn't get booked for TNA. Probably the only guy who will be on this show that didn't show up in TNA. AJ does some really awkward hold on the floor and Paris shows up out of no where with a flying drop kick. "WHAT WAS THIS? WHAT WAS THAT?"
I dunno, Tony, but I like your enthusiasm. Romeo catches Paris in a powerslam off the apron. Chavo comes out to watch. Romeo hits a Northern Lights Driver on Paris and they advance in the tournament.
TO THE BACK. Sean O'Haire has a match with Lex tonight. He's going to fuck that old man up.
Lex Luger vs Sean O'Haire
This is every bit as interesting as you'd imagine. Lex was awful at this point. O'Haire does his backflip off the top and hurts his knee. Chuck runs out to save his bro. Lex kicks him, so Chuck pulls him out of the ring and they fight. The ref is just counting for a count out or something despite watching this guy punch Lex in the face. During this, Buff came in and hit Sean with a chair in the leg. He attempts to Pillmanize O'Haire. The ref turns around and sees this and STILL doesn't call for the bell. Buff accidentally hits Lex with the Blockbuster. O'Haire hits the Seanton Bomb despite a dead leg for the win. Buff apparently injured himself on the Blockbuster. He landed on his tail bone and didn't get up right away. He would get an MRI and had a jammed neck. It was the same city when he had his neck injury against Rick Steiner, too. He almost broke his neck delivering his own finisher. Buff Bagwell, ladies and gentlemen. After the match, Buff hit a Blockbuster on O'Haire. If I were a guy with a history of neck problems and just did a move that hurt my neck again, I probably wouldn't do that same move a few minutes later.
TO THE BACK. A limo arrives. BUT WHO IS LIMO?! Oh, it's Kanyon and Stasiak. Kanyon is going to the hospital to do something terrible to Ms. Jones. He even has his own camera crew waiting there. Stasiak wants him to give her an autographed picture. Chavo lets everyone know that he isn't scared of Shane Helms. Lance and Awesome attack Konnan. Hugh Morris makes the save and security break it up.
Jeff Jarrett vs Dusty Rhodes
WCW.com announced Dusty would be at Nitro the Friday before this show, then pulled it and said he wouldn't be there. But then he was there. SWERVE! Well, this doesn't look like Dusty. It looks like Bill Clinton at his heaviest.
Jeff pins Dusty with the bionic elbow. Jeff says he's gonna seal it with a kith! A kith of his assth. Dustin comes out to beat up Jeff. He already has new music. Dusty rips his face off to reveal Ric Flair! Face Off 2!
God, what I wouldn't do for Face Off 2 staring Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair. The real Dusty comes out. Tony pops like a 5 year old. It was awesome. Dusty and Dustin stand tall. Flair wants Dusty removed. He owns the building! No he doesn't, but he thinks he does. Dusty says Jerry Jarrett was a womanizing drunk. All Jerry had to do was go to a gas station bathroom and he could have prevented Jeff. Dusty pops HARD for being able to say "hey fat boy" to someone else. It was like someone had a bicycle! He says that Flair has gone from a superstar to an extra. The fight is back on after that. Ric wants Dusty and Dustin at "Creed". This isn't the first time someone has called the PPV "Creed". Dusty is going to get his truck and being his big fat ass to Greed! This is awesome. I would love a Dusty/Flair promo off on NXT sometime.
Shane Helms vs Chavo Guerrero Jr Non Title Match
Shane has a new entrance with the Nitro YAKS dancing for him. That seems odd that they took all the women off TV only to bring 8 out to dance for 10 seconds for Shane Helms. Not sure why this is happening, but whatever, it should be a good match. Their match at Sin was pretty boss. Frog splash cross body early on. Prime Time and Kid Romeo come out and pull Shane off the apron. He hit his face on the way down and Chavo hit a plancha. The ref doesn't make them go to the back for some reason. Shane would have had a pin, but the ref was distracted. Shane takes a dive at the new tag team. The ref isn't even Scott Armstrong, so I can't see how any of this is justified. They get in the ring and the ref doesn't call for the bell. Chavo and Romeo hit a Hart Attack that the ref clearly turned his head and saw happen, yet didn't call for the bell. Chavo hits the brainbuster and wins. Some particularly shitty reffing tonight so far.
TO THE NITRO PARTI GRAS. This is gross. Some terrible band played during this. It's still just product placement.
TO THE HOSPITAL. Kanyon entered Ms. Jones' hospital room disguised in scrubs. What's weird is that A. She's still in the hospital, seemingly in a coma, and B. That the limo Kanyon was in pulled into the arena's parking lot, not a hospital and C. They aren't even in the same state as where they were last week. Why would Ms. Jones take a bump in one state and be in a hospital in a different state where WCW was scheduled to run their next show from? Tony and Hudson made it clear that the limo pulled into the arena where the show was taking place, so either Ms. Jones had some terrible luck to get put in a hospital in the state where WCW would run Nitro the next week OR Kanyon can teleport. I'm going to go with Kanyon teleporting, because that's way more awesome to me.
Mike Awesome vs Hugh Morris
This could be decent, but every time I've thought that about a match that didn't involve cruisers, I come away disappointed. This is a brawl for the most part. Awesome hit a sit out Awesome Bomb, which I thought was pretty impressive since Hugh is a big dude to be picking up like that.
That and a top rope lariatoooo only got 2. Release German from Hugh. Lance comes out and pulls Hugh out of the ring. The ref saw this and didn't call for the bell. What the fuck is up with the refs tonight? Or more accurately, what the fuck is up with the bookers who have decided to have blatant interference in front of the ref in every match so far? Hugh wins with the moonsault. Hugh puts him in the Maple Leaf after the match. Konnan makes the save. Dungeon of Doom reunited!
Steiner Brothers vs DDP/Booker T
Rick challenges Booker to a match at Greed before the match. Or agreed to a match. I'm not sure which. I like that the Greed logo was doing the blue/orange thing before it was popular.
WCW, breaking barriers. I miss Stevie Ray. Not that I really want to see Harlem Heat vs the Steiners, but I don't know why they took him off color. He wasn't on a pay per appearance deal, so it wasn't like they were spending more money if they used him. DDP and Scott start out, but Scott bails when Booker comes in. Has anyone ever explained why refs always allow the heels to make tags he didn't see, but always says the faces didn't make a legal tag? You'd think after 70 years of televised wrestling, ref school would address that issue. After a low bridge, the Steiners slow it down and dominate Booker. Book makes the hot tag, but Scott cuts him off after a few seconds. Booker and Scott brawl up to the stage and to the back. Rick hits the bulldog on DDP. The rest of the 7 attack Booker in the back. Kanyon Cutter! BANG! DDP pins Rick. "Hey Einsteiner, I'm still stan-" *Is drilled in the back of the head by Scott*. I loled.

I fucked up and bought Tomb Raider yesterday :| And it's amazing and great, very pleasantly surprised.
I guess next on my list is the new Gears, because I love huge guys, bullets, and gore. And Bulletstorm was awesome and having those devs work on Gears should be neat.
AoEIIHD is the last AoE that made sense to me, very all in, balls deep for AoEIIHD. Fire Emblem is really simple and great, simple in a good way. Never once have I felt overburdened by the system. Very slick.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Fire Emblem 3ds *checks amazon* 2-3 weeks? So much for amazon prime.
WWE Shop has no Sin Cara masks available at all. Previously they had Red, Blue, and Silver. but now they dont have any.
also, today I got accepted into grad school (special ed). Skipping Raw and just watching the 3 minute youtube clips have done well for me.
I think I want to try Tomb Raider eventually, but I want to play Bioshock more and I eventually want to try Ascension.
Plus, I'm kind of thinking about waiting to get Tomb Raider when I get my new PC. IDK though. I still haven't committed to how much I want to spend on that.
