BUTT

Sorry, I didn't realize that hadn't been posted here yet. WWE.com had a cartoon called "Mr. McMahon's Ass" that apparently was a total ripoff of a Cartoon Network show called "Assy McGee". So the creators of that show are suing WWE because of it and there's pretty much no way WWE can win. Michael Cole is the head of WWE.com and he's the one who authorized the whole thing so he's got a lot of heat right now.

12/27: TNA won't be paying for wrestlers' hotel rooms or rental cars anymore. This is bad for a lot of the lower-card guys who only make $300 per show. Sucks to be them. Agents Shane Douglas and Simon Diamond weren't at the last taping because Jeff Jarrett isn't happy with the TNA agents' work and he wants to send a message, or something. Johnny Swinger was given an agent tryout at the tapings. Jim Cornette is working with talent on interviews and angles, but he's not involved with the writing. Leticia, the new interview girl, is well-liked because she went on the 'net after she was hired and learned a lot about wrestling. 1/1: Turning Point probably did half the buys that Genesis did, in large part due to the fact that it was number four of five straight Sunday night PPVs. TNA totally wasted the second Joe/Angle match on this show but nothing else would have done any better numbers TNA originally wanted to do Lockdown in St. Louis and have Pierzynski and Eckstein involved but since baseball has already started by then it's not feasible. Plus, the building they were looking at in St. Louis won't allow blood and you can't have Lockdown without blood! So anything involving those two baseball players will happen at the February PPV in Orlando. The whole Nash Paparazzi Challenge angle is leading to the finals at the January PPV in which there will be three judges, one of which will be BOB BACKLUND. And Disco Inferno will be another. Spike TV has a relationship with an anti-smoking organization and that's why Ron Killings is talking about quitting smoking on Impact lately.

12/27: Vince feels that ECW's lack of success has been due to the absence of humor on its programs. Brad Armstrong's name was brought up as someone who is funny (although he's never really shown it on camera) and that's why he got the tryout on ECW commentary. Also, Vince was trying to mess with Tazz because WWE isn't happy that he's been openly fielding offers from radio stations. So, they had them both at the commentary table and Tazz "ate Armstrong alive" or whatever The Decembrists said in his last notes thread. Joey Mercury will be a jobber on Smackdown when he comes back. Well, not a jobber in the Duane Gill sense but you know what I mean. Paul Heyman saved him from being released recently because he wanted to bring Joey into ECW and push him. But now that Heyman is gone, ECW's Dave Lagana decided to bring Snitsky over instead to give him that planned push. So, Joey is going to SD and he's gonna JOB! 1/1: More Heyman stuff that you probably already know. Vince and Paul were destined to have a falling-out. If Heyman made plans for a wrestler and Vince changed them, Heyman would make sure the wrestler knew about it. If Vince really wanted Sandman and Sabu, he could have signed them any time within the last few years, so it's not like he had tremendous faith in them to begin with. Piper's odds of recovery from the cancer are about 70 percent. He was in the middle of making a movie when the cancer was discovered. Piper was hurt so bad when they did the angle where Edge and Orton beat him up before the match where they won the belts that he needed to take morphine just to walk to the ring and get beat up. And of course, they found the tumor when attempting back surgery. In addition to pissing off Vince with the "ripping off Assy Mcgee" thing, Michael Cole also has some heat because he brought in a bunch of people who know little about wrestling to write for WWE.com. Gene Snitsky is going to ECW. He's gonna lose that sweet beard and might have his head shaved too. He will be a heel and will be pushed as ECW's version of Kane. WWE wants Batista to "talk more 'jive'". Robert Gibson is now a part-time trainer for WWE. Steve Williams also does this. And WWE is considering hiring Marty Jannetty to do the same. Well hey, if he refuses to believe he doesn't work for them, why not just confirm his wacky belief? Barry Windham might be an agent soon. But then he might not. He's gone back and forth on it many times.

So are stores NOT getting Wii shipments on Sunday? Because that Wii Seeker site used to say that Wal-Mart and Best Buy would have them in on Sunday the 31st and now it doesn't say that......but there are people on the CheapAssGamer forums saying that Best Buy got some in today, and..........aargh I still don't have one!

Dave says Cro Cop will be at tomorrow's PPV and he's facing Eddie Sanchez at the 2/3 UFC show. EDIT: Well, actually, he doesn't say he's coming to the PPV, only that he's "coming to Vegas" but I took that to mean he'll be at the show.

Movie theatre employees, I'm tired of your fucking power trip.

Was Leena's lie claiming she is Ortonsault?

Here's a question: Has an American game EVER become a big hit in Japan? I'm trying to think of one and I'm failing. EDIT: OK, Hudson's port of Lode Runner sold a million copies on the Famicom two decades ago. I really don't think that counts.

Surprisingly, Pokemon Battle Revolution has only sold 125,000 copies in Japan during its two weeks of release. Pokemon is still a huge deal over there (the new games for DS have sold 4.3 million copies in three months) but for whatever reason it's not selling big on Wii. By comparison, Wii Sports and Wii Play have both sold almost half a million. Granted, they had a two week lead, but still..........it's Pokemon. In Japan! Big deal? Maybe not.

NO I HAVEN'T

I could have done without seeing this gimmick return.

I'm going to assume that MMX did not intend the statements made in his song to be interpreted this way.

I'd remember it if it had happened to anyone else, too.

urbandictionary.com tells me: 1. bottom boy When two guys are fucking, you guessed it, the one on the bottom. Did you see that weak guy at the gym, he was grunting like a bottom boy. 2. bottom boy Synonym for uke. The cute one in a yaoi relationship. EEEEEEEE!!! Bottom boys are so adorable! 3. bottom boy a male who experiences feelings of sexual excitement/delight when he sees/imagines an ass Ed is a real bottom boy...other men's bottoms, that is.

I believe this is only the third Pit banning ever. The first was in the J*Wing days when Incandenza joined as "Blood Sister: One Tough Nun" and was banned for making fun of MikeSC, which was quickly overturned. The other was my "theneocon" account.

Well yeah. And they couldn't come to terms on a new deal.

I'm pretty sure he has wrestled since then, but not much.

Steiner had a contract dispute with TNA and he's gone. JJ is just off TV for a while because they think he's overexposed. He'll be back as a face soon enough.

Anyone know when the next big Wii shipment will be out?

This after you'd already sent him a picture of "yourself" holding your white kid. Funny stuff. Of course, the funniest part overall, is that he tried to hit on someone who's name is Sex Machine Gun. I mean God, could you even come up with a more blatantly masculine user name? I would suspect that it's because posters have a strange way of associating posters with their avatars, like how people thought kkktookmybabyaway was black because of his Mumia avatar. dh probably saw the woman in Kotz's avatar and assumed that he was female.

Wildpegasus just sent me a PM at DVDVR. He wants me to tell you all this: "I'm not usually one to say I told you so guys but guess what? I told you so."

Hey Cheesala, you have a link to the "Heroes of World Class" DVD?

Hahaha Trump rules. What a dick.

Is Inc sharing his account with Hawk 34 now.

Not cooler than RC Pro-Am. Oh fuck no.
