The Ghost of bps21

Yes. That match is one of the very few matches that would have been so great to hear JR call. No one puts over big moments better than JR does...and TNA usually is about big spots not big moments. I can only imagine how much better it would have been to have JR calling Angle and Jarrett crawling to the ring and then the looks on their faces when they locked eyes back in and started brawling with what they had left. He'd have made it epic. The wrestlers did their part.

I've always liked Jarrett because he's a solid, smart midcard heel (which is the prototype of my favorite wrestlers) but outside of his match years ago with Shawn Michaels there had never been another JJ match that I thought was a really great match. There were lots of good ones. And even more pretty good ones. And I thought his match with Angle at BFG was very good... But man...I just watched the Genesis match again...and that thing was great. Now...Angle's been having really good matches for the last year (I guess he must be healthier now...cause the last year was far better in ring than his first year was) so I'm sure that's part of it. I mean...the last time JJ had a match I thought was great he had it with a guy who could have a great match with his eyes closed. But they both really brought it. The shot of Jarrett crawling back into the ring all bloody after the Olympic Slam was so memorable that if it happened in a company that knew how to promote things it would have been a major moment that was talked about for some time. I even liked the finish. Yes it ended with a rollup after all that brutality...but the way it came off to me (and it's yet again TNA's fault not to put over on commentary what I was able to spot in my living room) was that Jarrett had to slide on top of Angle that way (leaving him prone to that easy rollup) because he was selling the damage Angle had done to his ankle with the Anglelock. I've badly sprained my ankle before...and Jarrett slid over to make that cover the same way that I would have to slide out of bed to hop to the bathroom. I just loved this match. And it didn't even start with a lockup!

I am in early negotiations to not watch this.

So...his undefeated streak that led him to the title ends quickly in a tag match?

Hey...Now Jack Swagger is only 15 title wins away from Ric Flair's record!!! ... Chavo too!!!

I went with A Hard Day's Night. I should've known better is my favorite beatles song from that era.

I don't think they can promote from within without interviewing a minority candidate. Mike Singletary was allowed to keep his interim job after the promotion and become head coach without any other interviewees...but The Rams weren't allowed to have that agreement with Haslett that if the team turned around his interim job would become permanent.

It's a good thing he's black. They can't just give these jobs to white guys, you know. They have to interview people that have no chance of getting the job to in some way not make the whole process a joke. ... Yeah. I think that's why.

I don't think it has to fit at all. Al Snow did a cameo for the Mafia once. Nash got hurt...he's a giant guy... So they went out and recruited the biggest guy they could find for the night.

Kip isn't in the Mafia as a result though either. But since Morgan was turning anyway...what better way to put him over than having him main event an hour later and throw AJ around for a while?

How in the world can anyone hate James Storm? The man is absolute GOLD.

That was one hell of a Raw. The Legacy stuff, the Jericho stuff and the Main Event were all just tremendous television. That's the most satisfied I've been with a TV show in a while.

I felt so bad for Barney most of that episode. Ted asking him if he was in love with Robin before the commercial break is the fastest I grabbed the remote to fastforward through the break on any show in some time.

Last night when they picked Kip to be in the 6 man I said they should have just pulled the trigger on the Morgan turn in the tag title match (since it was inevitable anyway) and put him in the 6 man since he was, at least, physically impressive and relatively fresh.

I feel like Dark Knight is going to get that last spot too. I read an article somewhere while TDK was still out that basically said that the magic number was 500 million...and if TDK made that it would become too difficult to ignore given the high praise it recieved. Its funny that the main thing standing in its way IMO is less that it's a comic book blockbuster...and more that it was released in July when every other movie there was released in the awards months. But the fact is...if you ask people...many many many of them will say that TDK was the best movie of the year. And while there's no chance of it actually winning the award...I think NOT even nominating it will turn people off of the Oscars a little.

I already had my DVR set for it...but I wish I hadn't read the spoilers. I figured...nothing ever happens on ECW... and this time I was wrong.

I'm not sure anyone on the Sabres right now fits that description since most of the roster is from drafting at this point...BUT they did get a few years of Daniel Briere (who was on a low line in Phoenix) for Chris Gratton. I still get a laugh out of that trade. Briere went on to be mightily overpaid by the Flyers. Gratton has continued to bounce from team to team because every new GM seems to think he's big so he can play. He is, however, a giant pussy. Our GM is pretty far entrenched and isn't going anywhere.

TNA announced that they were doing away with the title changes hands on DQ rule sometime after Sting lost the TNA title to Abyss by DQ. I remember that very well because as soon as they called for the bell I turned to my friend and said that Abyss was the champion and he said they don't use that rule anymore. But they did. Which I found hilarious because they hadn't done a DQ in a title match in so long I'm sure no one in the arena thought they'd just seen a title change. Then some time later they decided they were scrapping the rule.

The only reason I could see Ledger not winning is because the Supporting Actor/Actress categories are where the Academy likes to fuck around the most and have an upset. (see Arkin over Eddie, Marisa Tomei, Juliett Binoche over Lauren Bacall) Yeah But I don't think they're going to let a movie that made a billion dollars go unrewarded in all the "major" categories. They can honor Ledger, his performance and the film in one shot.

The movie had no money so Axl donated Sweet Child O' Mine to be used in the film.

I wish we would have had a real coach with real players to coach on a real team owned by a real owner. ... I hate sports.

The man fucking hates the Dark Knight.

Winslet winning 2 was worth it just for Ricky Gervais to do an Extras callback.

I killed everyone in Tennpenny Tower the second time through and made a boatload of money robbing those stores.

I think he will win the Oscar. Unlike most years where the supporting actor category is usually packed with tons of big names and memorable performances...there wasn't a ton of those memorable supporting performances this year.
