I ramble about things.

Mike Awesome (January 24, 1965 – February 17, 2007)

Just found out that former ECW heavyweight champion Mike Awesome recently passed away at age 42. Don’t really want to touch on the means of death, but instead I just want to remember him for all the great matches he had over the course of his career.

I remember when I saw him win the ECW title on PPV back in 99; it was the first ECW PPV aired in Canada at the time. While I was never a big fan of the guy, Awesome had a presence that made him different from other big guys in WW(F) or WCW. Here was a guy who not only looked like he could kick your ass, but wouldn’t have a problem doing it effortlessly either. He wasn’t a gimmick, he was this big bad brawler.

Then he went to WCW and he got all these shitty gimmicks… and then he was in WWE… and let’s forget all that.

His last big match around these parts was at the ECW One Night Stand show (the first one – and quite frankly, the only good one) where he had that last match with Masato Tanaka. Brutal stuff, man. But excellent too.

Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Mike Awesome.

Big Apple Takedown Gave Me The Flu.

Anyone up for a funny story? Yeah, me neither, but here goes nothing.

So last Friday, I picked up the WWE book, Big Apple Takedown. For those who don’t know, it’s a novel about WWE Superstars as government agents to bust a drug ring. It is a concept that is absolutely absurd and can only be conceived within the somewhat delusional WWE universe that the company occupies.


So I pick up a copy of the book and gave it a quick read for a bit before dozing off to bed. Yes, the concept is as absurd as you’d think and comes off even moreso when you read the first couple chapters explaining the backstory behind this thing.

The next morning, I wake up with a goddamn flu.

It’s horrible, it lasts through the whole weekend, it keeps me in bed for a good chunk of it, and I ended up staying at home as a result… which is totally fine by me. The weather is kinda shit at the moment.

So Saturday’s sudden flu attack had consisted of lots of coughing, a slight fever, and a running nose (not that kind of running, dumbass). Despite extended hours of sleep, said flu apparently got worse the following Sunday as my slight fever became much worse and I had lost all energy to move. It was an effort to just to make it to the bathroom which is only a few feet across and it usually doesn’t take much to go there from the minute I wake up. As a result, I had to skip work yesterday… which meant another number of hours staring at a fucking ceiling.

Of course, after a while, the bedroom got too hot and it was thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to have me lay there. So I put on some warm clothes and made my way to my den (where all the computer stuff is) and just aimlessly browse the Internet. As time passed and many forms of medication were taken, the fever died down with only a sore throat and snotting nose remaining. Not much, but better compared to how I was feeling that morning.

So I went back to work. Business as usual. Now the coughing’s been  dropped down a bit thanks to some timely interference from Halls and some cough syrup. It’s still a long way to a full recover, but it shouldn’t take any longer than the end of the week to get there.

PPV Predictions: WWE No Way Out 2007

Okay, it’s cutting a little close to the PPV start time, but cut me some slack. I’ve got the flu and didn’t realize there was a PPV tonight until I browsed WWE.com a few hours ago. Despite my less than happy conditions, These predictions are going to be nice and quick, since I want to get back to bed. I may miss a match or two here, but at this point, I don’t really have the energy to do further research (as opposed to not having the energy to make an effort to do further research). I just wanna go to bed.

So here we go:

RAW (Jan. 8th, 2007) – About As Exciting to Watch As JR’s Ass…

So I’m watching RAW and I see a Great Khali mumble his way through an interview. Oh great. Just what RAW needed: another tall worthless fuck. As if that’s bad enough, they have these fake impersonators doing the Donald and the Rosie. And they’re having a match and it’s about as entertaining as playing with dog feces.

Want to be entertained? Check out the greatest spectacle on Earth… JR’s Ass. *

Later.
