The string of bad weather began this past Wednesday, which started off nicely with some rain and wind (yeah right) and then when I get out of work, everything is frozen over and windier. Only the roads were ice-free, but the sidewalks were death-traps waiting to happen.

Comprising a collection of posts regarding the WWE/Signature Pharmacy controversy that took place during this time. The next Bite commentary will touch on this a bit further, but for now, here’s a compilation of posts for posterity.

Got a couple quick things I gotta get off my chest.
– So there’s a random poster at Trekweb who started a poll asking who would boycott the upcoming Star Trek movie if it doesn’t include Shatner. The poster is a deluded fool to think that Shatner will make the movie good and that Shatner needs to be here. I don’t think Shatner needs to be in Trek. His time has passed, he did his bit, and now he’s getting a career revival as Denny Crane. And as for Trek, it’s done fine without Shatner. People like to say that Shatner is Trek, but last time I checked, Shatner only lasted seventy-nine episodes, a short animated series, and seven movies. Most modern (or formerly modern, I suppose) incarnations of Trek have lasted longer. So yeah, Trek is doing fine and will continue to do fine without Shatner.
– For those who missed it, the first Power Rangers convention was held this past week-end. From what I’ve heard, it was a pretty good time had by all, as some old faces from the MMPR days showed as well as the recent new blood. I’m almost sorry I couldn’t make it, but then, I’m not much of a convention-type person.
– I’m digging the current Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness miniseries currently going on. For those who don’t know, this series is a crossover between Marvel Zombies (zombified versions of classic Marvel heroes) and the idiot Ash from the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness flicks. This is a great, somewhat hilarious mini that’s worth the read if you’re into AoD or Zombies.
So that’s it on my part…
Wait… am I forgetting something?
Oh right. That.
I’ll have my thoughts on the matter posted in a Bite commentary in a couple days.
So apparently, some non-wrestling sites picked up on the Vince McMahon whacking and the amount of user comments for this story is almost mind-boggling. Not so much the frequency, but the message contained therein. People complaining about how they were offended by such a hoax and believe WWE has gone too far. This is something that has been mentioned several times on my part, but let’s get this out there just one more time.

One of the better shows put out, this week’s RAW saw an hour-long bout between ol’ Shawn and “Useless” John Cena. I’ve enjoyed the match much more than their Mania encounter and was surprised that it would last as long as it did. See, this is the match they should have had at Mania with the right guy winning. The only thing that would have made the win sweeter if it was a title bout and if it featured someone other than John Useless, but you can’t have everything.
All in all, the show, while filled with useless time-wasters not named Cena, was better because of that one single match. Maybe if useless lugs like Orton were sent home more often, we’d have quality products such as this.
Some wrestling site posted a news post about Steve Austin admitting he doesn’t know who Paul London and Brian Kendrick are in an interview. Apparently, a major wrestler not knowing who the (former) tag champs are is news. So let’s recap this ground-breaking interview in traditional style (note Austin responses in Italics)
INTERVIEWER: So, Austin. What do you think of London and Kendrick?
AUSTIN: What?
INTERVIEWER: London and Kendrick.
AUSTIN: What?
INTERVIEWER: The tag-team champs in WWE.
AUSTIN: What?
INTERVIEWER: Never mind.
AUSTIN: What?
Finally, in a bit of unrelated news, long popular message board Rangerboard had recently placed a ban on porn fanfics. Meanwhile, Mystech Rangers (a mindfuck of a “story” if you want to call it that) is still on the boards. So it’s okay for poorly-written incoherent stories with tentacle sex to be posted, but straight up porn stories are inappropriate? Someone explain the logic behind that for me.
No wonder I never go to that place.
So last Monday’s RAW was an okayish show… made possible by the Italian crowd who booed the fuck out of John Useless Cena. Good stuff.
The fashion show was useless, but they got an Italian guy hosting the festivities, so that’s okay.
Generic jobber posing as an Italian fan wins the Intercontinental title from Umaga. Thus rendering both the former titleholder and the title itself a joke. But hey, it’s not like Umaga and the title weren’t a joke already.
All in all – perfectly acceptable show. Can’t wait for the London show.
Oh, by the way, here’s a fairly interesting newsbit from rajah.com:
As WWE continues their European tour they ran into some shear disappointment in Germany. Yesterday’s attendance at the RAW/ECW house show event in Munich’s Olympiahalle was said to be more than disappointing. Tickets did not sell and people did not show! The Olympiahalle had a webcam online yesterday afternoon which showed this disappointment. It doesn’t appear WWE will be appearing in the southern region of Germany again.
WWE disappointed because people didn’t show up? Must have been that goose-stepping stint JBL did a couple years back. Or maybe even Germans don’t give a shit about John Cena.
Good news, though. John Cena is still loved by the American public for reasons beyond my comprehension. And people are warming up to Lashley too.
Lashley might have a chance after all… he could be the “nice” Black Lesnar (since he can’t get angry or even remotely fake it). But it’s time to abandon the dead weight called Cuck Fena.
So we’re getting snow for the weekend. About 20-25 centimeters of the stuff. Just a painful reminder that winter is still around for another two-three weeks.
Business as usual.
In other news, WWE has reportedly moved the ECW One Night Stand PPV from its usual location in New York (Hammerstein Ballroom) to the Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. Obviously, this is an attempt to keep away the old-school ECW crowd and Florida is as far from the old-school ECW crowd as you’re going to get.
Of course, this particular plan was implemented with the last piece of shit PPV when they moved it to Georgia and we all know the story there. Because when you’re selling ECW, you’re selling an open atmosphere which means the crowd will just chant whatever the fuck they want.
Finally, according to rajah.com, MTV has apparently canceled their short-lived Wrestling Society X show due to nagging ratings and some inappropriate content such as fireballs. I had always known that MTV were run by a bunch of pussies.
Of course, now that MTV’s wrestling show is canceled and no longer competing with the other one-hour piece of crap show known as ECW, Vince can stop caring about ECW… as if he even cared to begin with.
Spanning five or six posts, I wrote quick comments on matches and the Rumble as they occurred. Kept for prosperity.
