    I got Super Mario Galaxy for Christmas last year and I'm more than halfway through the game but I keep telling myself that I'm not allowed to buy any more long adventure games until I finish it. Luckily this means I'll be able to get Nights for 20 bucks, rather than the 50 it was when I was first interested in it.

    I was at Raw last night. It was an enjoyable live experience for the most part. I couldn't believe something that happened late in the show. I was sitting with a couple of friends, one of whom I don't see that often, and we were discussing the show. Now I probably had to raise my voice from time to time, due to us being in a sold out arena with thousands of people yelling and chanting things, and carrying on their own conversations. However, for the most part I wasn't chanting or yelling anything myself. Then, out of nowhere, during the television main event, this cranky looking old man yelled at me for talking. At first I thought he had to be joking. But nope, he was mad that we had been talking. Now if we were at a movie, that would have been one thing, but we were in a sold out sports arena. Later on he was amusing me because our entire section was screaming for HBK to not lay down for JBL, and the fucker was covering his ears.

     

    I think I will remember him as the Wrestling Grinch.

    Theone is right. If I've never seen Logan's Run, I'm nothing but a 19 year old retard.

     

    While I would never think less of you for having not seen it, you really owe it to yourself to sit down and watch it. Not only is it a great story, but there is a rediculous amount of nudity in it for a PG rated film.

    It's too bad if she did pass away. I'm in the party of people who probably never agreed with her on anything (and at times had a hard time wrapping my brain around her logic) but if she's gone then I do feel genuinely bad for her. However, it does sound like she was suffering for a long time, so hopefully wherever she is, she has found peace.

    Since the discussion has moved to include the most boring series of all time, I think Matt Hardy vs. Gregory Helms on Smackdown in 2006 should get a mention. It was perfectly fine, even good, the first couple times. By the time we got to their tenth consecutive match with little or no variation in formula, I never want to see that match again.

     

    I actually really enjoyed their pay-per-view outings, but I wasn't watching Smackdown on a consistent basis at that time so I probably missed another 6-8 matches between those two, so I didn't really get a chance to get sick of it.

     

     

    The Booker T/Robert Roode feud in TNA was dreadfully boring. Apply that to any Roode singles feud, just can't give a damn about any of it.

    Because Mario Kart is in high demand and in limited supply. We are frequently out of it at my Best Buy.

     

    People can criticize Nintendo for not releasing anything big for the holidays this year, but they didn't have to, Wii Fit and Mario Kart are more than carrying the load.

    BEST OF:

     

    A. Performer Of The Year - the best overall combination of someone who can back it up in the ring but can entertain on promos.

    1. Chris Jericho

    2. Nigel McGuinness

    3. Shawn Michaels

     

    B. Wrestler Of The Year - the wrestler who can best work a technical match. Though part of "working" is the ability to entertain a crowd (this is why Hulk Hogan can never be called a bad worker - bad mat technician yes, but the man could work a crowd), this is meant for those who may not be over with Casual Joe, but Hardcore Henry says he's the greatest of all time.

    1. Shawn Michaels

    2. Bryan Danielson

    3. Nigel McGuinness

     

    C. Entertainer Of The Year - while everyone is eligable of course, the idea here is that just because all their matches are about * or less, you find them to be a guilty pleasure or hilarious or what not. I already know who the winner is but we'll go through the motions.

    1. John Morrison and The Miz

    2. Santino Marella

    3. The Great Khali

    K. Angle Of The Year:

    1. The Main Event Mafia

     

    L. Non-Match / Segment Of The Year:

    1. Chris Jericho smashes Shawn Michaels into the Jericho-tron.

     

    M. Female Of The Year (either for wrestling ability or because you find them hot, I don't care):

    1. Beth Phoenix

    2. Awesome Kong

    3. Roxxi Lavaeux

     

    N. Announcer / Colour Commentator Of The Year (one or the other):

    1. Dave Prazak

     

    WORST OF:

     

    A. Least Entertaining Wrestler (Don't use the "Best Of" classifications, this is for the person who you hate to see in the ring because you find no redeeming entertainment value with them - it probably goes without saying they can't wrestle):

    1. Vladimir Kozlov

    2. Mike Knox

    3. Mr. Kennedy

    D. Worst PPV Of The Year:

    1. Great American Bash (it was decent enough, I didn't see any Pay-per-views that I hated this year).

     

    E. Worst Match Of The Year:

    1. I'll have to come back and edit something in.

     

    F. Worst Television Show Of The Year:

    1. Impact (despite the last couple of months).

     

    G. 2008's "Embarrassed to be a Wrestling Fan" Moment:

    I actually like Way to Normal quite a bit. Not every song clicks (don't really care for Dr. Yang) and a few others are generally good songs with a few awkward lyrics here and there ("Cologne" sets a good atmosphere, but is lyrically weak). However, I can't see how everyone who states that they have been big Ben Folds fans in the past can hate songs like "Brainwascht" or "Kylie from Connecticut." "Kylie" in particular sounds like it would have fit in perfectly on "Rockin' The Suburbs."

     

    Either way, it's not his best work, but is far superior to Songs for Silverman.

    My dad to this day always talks about how foolish it is, though I can recall a few times from when I still lived at home when he'd accidentally get sucked into the occasional Nigel McGuinness/Bryan Danielson match.

     

    My mom resisted my getting into it. I would have been a fan a lot younger than I was if she'd have let me. I can remember watching some goofy afternoon show in the early 90's and being forced to change the channel because wrestling was "violent." In retrospect, I don't know what she was so concerned about, perhaps watching ten minute bear hugs and chinlocks would have warped my fragile little mind.

    Would it salvage this thread to turn the discussion towards title changes that were planned out months or years in advance in comparison to title reigns that were booked on the fly? For example, Homicide's ROH title run was months in the making (and I believe would have happened with or without Danielson's injury) and when Bret Hart won the WWF title he didn't know it was going to happen until he arrived at the building.
