Those are ideal, yes. Funny story - the co-worker I said paid more money for his tickets because TM was being stupid with him? He paid double my price to sit 7 rows behind me. He's real excited about that too, so hopefully he still manages a good view. I think having to look to the left to see the ring will be a good thing, allows for a good ramp view too.

This season is blowing last year away. And I'm in the "enjoyed season 4" camp.

WILD, I say. Crazier than a horse with wings.

Did I screw something up? I e-mailed Mr. Zoo to tell him it was his turn, then he told me it was mine.

Speaking of axed shows, My Own Worst Enemy has already been cancelled. Appearing on Hitler's talk show must have been bad for Christian Slater's career.

If I'm to believe the seating chart (I had originally almost passed at the tickets, confused as where section "M" was as the floor only went to section K - I then realized "MF A" meant "A - Main Floor"), I'm behind the announce tables, but off to the side. A co-worker was telling me this morning that he had to buy tickets from a second party for more money and it sounds like we're in the same section, so I felt good about that.

Grungy Punk is wild, man. WILD.

I had row 17 on the floor once and it was fine (save for it being a house show and people holding up signs). I also had row 4 and it was the best ever. I figure 6 is not bad (though honestly I was hoping for the centre lower bowl).

"They have internet on computers now?" WON had some good write-ups about the releases. I might summarize later. Creative kept pushing for Lena to have a surfer gimmick (her legit athletic background) but Vince would have none of it.

Krusty: Now here's... Dubbed voice: Mr. Black! For the past 15 years he was president of Euro-Krustyland... until it blew up. Mr. Black: I'll take any questions you might have... you? And then uum.... one more. Milhouse: Can we call you Uncle Blackie? Mr. Black: No.. last question... Mr. Black: Now I must tell you kids Krusty has laryngitis and a bad back so he won't be saying anything or doing anything. Milhouse: Krusty looks fat. Lisa: He's really having trouble keeping his balance. Ralph: He's still funny, but not ha-ha funny.

I noticed that yesterday too. Multichannel news was reporting it like it was new. This has been going on for two months.

I have Celsius. Of course, I like it that way. CM Punk's story was a nice change of pace. .

I enjoyed his guest spot on The Cosby Show. "But daddy, we have 3 grandpas already!" "But this one's the great jazz musician!"

So unless I read wrong (and by "read" I mean typed "/Martin" and got no results), even though I swear I saw the name pop-up, ol Martin Prince is still up for grabs. Martin Prince: Care to make it a trio, Bart? You can brush and I can blow. Bart Simpson: Well, I agree you blow. Martin Prince: Then it's a plan! Bart Simpson: A lot of people blow, but no one blows like you. Martin Prince: High praise indeed. Bart Simpson: If you looked up blow in the dictionary... Lisa Simpson: Bart, he's not gonna get it. Martin Prince: A bone? It could be from one of the major Homos! Bart Simpson: You're one of the major... Lisa Simpson: Forget it!

It's funny, I had what I'd call an obscure pick lined up for round 6, but the set-up quote made me realize there's a good unpicked option I'll be taking in about 48 minutes.

From the Observer: Sounds like the opposite of the PWI reported amicable split.

I assumed Slaughter was forgiven when I saw him doing the intro for a GI Joe cartoon (which I had explained to me was a rerun). I bought the face turn all the same - he wanted his country back!

I think we can all agree (except those that are Hellbound) that when Judgment Day comes, Jesus Christ will log on to TSM and say "good work, guys".

Are you Gabby Hayes good?

"cervial dervial" is always funny.

I hate the finish to the opener too (though I love the match), but the way Fink announces the winner comes off like a big "f you" the to people who wanted Flair to get his ass kicked. Even though I was one of those people - I just assumed Piper would beat him - I had quite the laugh over it today. When I was a kid, I was really let down that not only was Savage NOT being reinstated for this show, Sid wasn't there either. I still thought Bossman and LOD were awesome, but it really was an exercise in pointlessness. Even as an excited kid, the whole thing seemed a bit flat though. After the Hogan (which, it should be noted, we didn't even see Flair slide the chair into the ring - we thought Hogan went down clean to a Tombstone) match we went to get souvenirs and food (there was an intermission here - remember those? - but the line-ups exceeded that time) and missed The Rockers participation in the 3rd tag match and were stuck watching The Bushwackers in action. Of course this sort of thing didn't bother me back then. I vividly remember excitedly discussing predictions for the show with my cousin. How many legdrops would it take for Hogan to beat Taker? My cousin felt one would be enough, but I figured at least two, maybe even three! I also asked him (because he was the 'expert', having watched since at least 1989 while I didn't start until 1991) if Berzerker would lost his undefeated record if he lost his tag match. I have no damned idea why I even thought about such a thing, especially since we both acknowledged the build-up of calling Undertaker 'undefeated' was nonsense since my cousin saw Warrior beat him. Ah, to be a young mark again. Oh, even though I've said it before, Gorilla Monsoon getting on Heenan's case about stealing money (in this instance) or selling Hercules 'down the river', regardless of the angle being years old, Hercules not swinging a chain anymore and just being a tag guy, etc. will never not be funny to me.

I believe that's supposed to be an inside joke to the same thing happening in 1990. Or a weird coincidence. Those pin attempts and reversals Bret and DiBiase were doing out of that spot were awesome (and pretty wild for 1991 WWF). And cabbageboy wonders why people disagree with him.

I'm wondering if Cogeco here has some sort of Starrcade embargo. Everything is showing up on time except Starrcade 92 and Essential Starrcade 2 from last week are still missing, and Essential Starrcade 3 didn't show up this week. Since all of ES is being released on DVD (including the best match from 92 - Vader/Sting) I'm not THAT concerned, but it would be nice to have the programs there.
