Neither do I… maybe Ric Flair could have used some financial advice so that he didn’t have to deal with stuff like this.
Poor, poor Ric. Should have retired with dignity and saved his cash… instead, the man who used to be the biggest name in wrestling is now the biggest joke on the Internet…
Yep.
On a sidenote, I didn’t watch Impact… because it was my dad’s birthday… and that takes precedence over an entertainment show.
Why don’t you give him a few views to see him bitch about DVD cases again?
Seriously, dude. ENOUGH WITH THE DVD CASES! DVD CASES ARE BULLSHIT! WE GET IT! MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE, DAMMIT!!!!!
EDIT: Some time later, I posted the following comment on the video question… obviously, more calmer and less rambling than my initial statement.
As far as the video goes, I felt this was an unnecessary rehash of the first Bullshit video and not as enjoyable. Watching the video, I thought, “Okay, fine. DVD cases are bullshit. Fine, we know that. Next.”
I thought the first revisit on the topic (Episode 11, I believe) more than covered all the reasonings as to why anything DVD-related (cases, endless splash screens, etc) might be bullshit, but this really added nothing new. Maybe the next Bullshit video was cover something new instead of something old… or is it blue?
Sorry, James. Not feeling this one.
I was just getting back from personal business when I got the news that Randy Savage had died. It was a shock to hear about that. And perhaps, it’s one that hurts quite a bit… because this was not just a moderately successful superstar wrestler nor is he someone dabbled in the main event scene. This is a legend… one of the true greats in professional wrestling. Someone who was as close to being the Total Package as you can get when it comes to that form of sports entertainment. He had the look, he had the voice, he had the moves, and most importantly, he had the charisma and the personality that really made him stand out and made people take notice… and clearly, a lot of people took notice for him to have gotten the name recognition that he did… and deservingly so.
Whether it was his classic matches or his classic insane rambling promos that half the time we didn’t understand what he was saying but who cares because this guy’s cool… or whether it was his classic Slim Jim commercials that actually got me to try out Slim Jims for the first and possibly last time… or his three-minute-cameo in the first Spider-Man movie nine years ago… or hell, even his rap album that he tossed out around the same time… it was one of those cases where no matter how good or how bad the final product turned out, you couldn’t help but feel that he gave it his all and that he gave it his best shot… and I think that effort and that passion showed in a lot of the stuff he did. For the most part, his stuff never felt phoned in… even during recent years when he was showing off his new action figure at the Comicon or cutting a promo for the WWE All-Stars game.
This is a man who deserved to be in that Hall of Fame of theirs… and the only sad thing is that he never got that chance due to whatever petty politics that held off such a thing.
Thanks for the memories, “Macho Man” Randy Savage. You shall be missed.
Can I get a “Oooooooo Yeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh!”
The better half of the Mega Powers (in every conceivable way) has left us.
No more words…
Rest in Peace, Randy. You will be missed…
So according to Mick Foley, wrestling matters at Impact Wrestling. So that means there should be more wrestling, right? Right?
You know what? Let’s try an little experiment here, shall we? Why don’t we compare Impact Wrestling’s matches to RAW’s matches; not necessarily in regards to quality, but in terms of wrestling time. This is going to be very easy to conduct since both shows featured five wrestling matches… and yes, I will still refer to them as wrestling matches even if the geniuses at WWE do not.
And just to make it clear, this is not a review of both shows, nor is it a recap. The main focus, perhaps the only focus, is match time. Although I will add thoughts here and there, but the quality is not the main focus, it’s the match time.
MONDAY NIGHT RAW
CM Punk vs Kofi Kingston lasted 3:51
Kelly Kelly vs Brie Bella lasted 1:51
Rey Mysterio vs Alberto Del Rio lasted 9:25.
Big Show & Kane vs New Nexus lasted 4:45
John Cena vs Jack Swagger lasted 11:21
TOTAL WRESTLING TIME ON RAW – 31:13
IMPACT WRESTLING
Mickie James & co. vs. Madison Rayne & co. lasted 4:20
Abyss vs. Kazarian lasted 5:02
Samoa Joe squashes Amazing Red in 0:47
Generation Me vs Matt Hardy/Eric Bischoff (FTS) lasted 6:07
Angelina Love & Winter vs. Velvet Sky lasted 4:30
TOTAL WRESTLING TIME ON IMPACT WRESTLING – 20:46
So apparently, in order to emphasis WRESTLING and making sure that WRESTLING MATTERS, Impact Wrestling decides to feature less WRESTLING than the show that wants nothing to do WITH wrestling. As a matter of fact, if I didn’t know any better, there was actually more TALKING in Impact than there was ACTUAL wrestling…… well, actually, that is the case… now that I think about it. Mind you, it’s the same thing with RAW, but they have more wrestling. The numbers do not lie, folks.
Of course, it’s only the first week… so I might do this again next week (new LABEL! Hooray!)… but so far, TNA’s new direction looks an awful lot like the old direction with a fresh coat of paint. That is not good.

Michael Cole does his best Justin Roberts impersonation.

Oops…
Jack’s off to a great start…
To anyone who wished him the best of luck and hopes that he has a long and fruitful World Championship reign…
DON’T watch Smackdown this Friday. Hell, don’t watch the video I made using Youtube’s Search Story gimmick because that spoils the whole thing.
Oh… and while we’re talking stupid shit in wrestling, there are so many talented women out there in the TNA roster they could’ve brought in to get the prestigious spot of Kurt Angle’s mistress… and they bring out CHYNA?!!
Jesus Christ, these guys are morons.
In the 2011 Canadian Federal Election…
Stephen Harper finally got his long-sought majority government…
Jack Layton’s New Democratic Party is the Official Opposition…
The Liberals have been reduced to a third wheel…
And the Bloc Quebecois have been DESTROYED & BURIED and Gilles Duceppe has STEPPED DOWN.
Merci et salut la visite, you motherfucking piece of shit.
