Tonight is the latest edition of WWE’s Unforgiven Pay-Per-View and you know what? This is actually shaping up to be a pretty awesome card for what is essentially a throwaway show. Even though the build to get here is practically non-existant (or if there was any, it didn’t work), the matches pretty much speak for themselves and that’s good enough for me. So let’s get this done.
UPDATED WITH RESULTS
You know sometimes I tend write some funny shit here and sometimes I tend to write the stuff that people have no idea on what to make of it. Today’s post doesn’t apply to either one.
Earlier today, there was a gunfight at Dawson College in Montreal. Twenty people were shot, two died, and the gunman was also killed off. Sometimes, you just don’t have the words to properly convey what’s going through your head, knowing something like this happened around your neck of the woods.
Prayers go out to those affected by this tasteless tragedy.
You know what? I’m tuning out for the rest of the week.
Having been bored with what has happened on RAW (not to mention it was past my bedtime), I left the show to tape overnight and had just finished watching the rest of it. Final thoughts is that for a show building towards a PPV, it was rather lackluster and from a purely entertainment standpoint, I maintain my earlier “dry paint” statement. Ironic that they’d use that as a joke when it says so much about the show right now. But like I said, the PPV is shaping up to be a fairly decent card.
High Points: A bunch of Scots slapping the crap out of each other never seems to get old. Also, Jeff Hardy, no longer content with covering himself with paint, now has to cover other people with paint. Still doesn’t make it any more fun but it’s cute. Only decent match was the Trish/Mickie match…
Low Points: The main event sucked. Let’s not kid ourselves here: there’s nothing historical about McMahon wrestling in MSG since it’s not THAT big a deal. Certainly, Hunter tried to get something watchable out of Vince, but it ain’t happening.
Other than that, not much happened on the show that stood out. There were a couple decent matches buried within a couple crappy matches, but nothing that stands and says memorable. So if you missed the show, you didn’t miss much.
So, there’s a bunch of stuff to cover in this post, including some remasterings and some boring wrestling programs. Let’s get into it.
I welcome you to the Bite and, for those who haven’t come here yet, I additionally welcome you to the new Webstation, which is now up for real. At the time the other commentary was written, it was planned that the site would be fully operational. Obviously, I timed it wrong and never bothered to fix the snafu. So if you really need me to pimp the site, then just read the other August entry where all the pimping is happening.

Something has been happening as of late. I can’t really explain it and I don’t know why.
As you may have noticed, there have been few Power Ranger-related postings as of late. In fact, the last time I’ve touched upon the subject was in a Bite post and in a fanfic update that never came to fruition. I haven’t been overly critical of the recent series on air because I have yet to see it… even now, when the series is already halfway through. Could it be possible my interest in the series is finally waning?
Can’t be, because I still watch the old stuff from time to time. I still read the occasional fanfic (now if only I can haul my ass to write the stuff left hanging). So what happened? Could it be that the more recent incarnations have lacked any value for me to be even remotely interested?
I don’t know. But I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough.
Haven’t done one of these predictions in quite some time, so excuse me for dusting off the cobwebs. Anyway, you should know the drill by now: I list all the advertised matches and give my thoughts on who wins and what the actual match might entail. One look at the card, though, shows that they haven’t booked any of those god-awful Diva matches into the show, although heaven forbid if WWE doesn’t make us suffer from their apparent lack of skill.
I’ve made mention on the blog that I’ll be posting two entries this month. This is the first of the two while the other will be up close to the end of the month. If all goes well, something “special” will be announced on that edition. Having said that, I welcome you to the Bite and I additionally welcome you to the new Webstation. I’ll be completely honest with you; the design was done for a few months now, but I was working mostly on organization of content and division of stuff. Hopefully, this will pan out longer than the previous design (at least for the rest of the year… maybe longer.)
You’d probably notice that there’s randomly-generated banners on top once again. The good news is that unlike the first time, I know how the damn code works and things work a little more smoothly. Good thing too, because I really don’t feel like searching through my old files in fifteen different folders and reassemble everything for six hours. Yes, that’s how bad the old-style coding was for the site and that’s why the indefinitely-delayed Legacy forum (which would have displayed all the old sites in their full glory) is just that. Recent versions have more cleaner codes thanks to a refined knowledge of basic webpage creation.
Two weeks of vacation had gone rather smoothly outside of my brother’s brief stay(s) at the hospital. Good news is he doesn’t have any known heart conditions, bad news is that he’s had these panic attacks to the point where he basically can’t do anything now. Right now, he’s steadily recovering, but it’s a long road. Here’s hoping he gets better.
Other than that, things have been smooth and relaxing. Which is necessary since work is starting to get busier. That’s okay though. Work’s good for me. Especially since I get to work on some interesting stuff that passes through the pre-press stage of things.
That’s all for this edition… some of you are wondering if I neglected to mention something. Trust me, I know what’s missing. I know it’s something I touch on in every edition of the Bite since its return. But you know what? I’m not bothering with that anymore… not today anyway. If you really need my thoughts on that particular “tradition” or something, check out the Blog where the subject has been dominating as of late.
See you in a few weeks.
Today, we’ve got some random postings from random sources, not to mention a lot of territory to cover, so let’s get to it.
