I have so much to talk about, I'm going to explode or implode or go caplooey all over the floor in my office!  Who needs work, right now???  Not me. I'm on a break before the actual break: Thanksgiving , that is!  Woohoo! 

My first thank you, goes to Bette Midler for inspiring me with, The Glory of Love and this blog!

Before I get started, I'd like to start out by saying that Survivor Series was great. I was expecting greatness and I got it.  That's never really happened to me before. I liked it.  It's a good feeling.  I must note to get it out of my system, and I don't even know to whom this is directed.  Perhaps I am sending it out into the cosmos somewhere in hope that somebody somewhere will answer my call.  Can't Jeff Hardy EVER get a break????????? Just when you think it's his turn, somthing happens and he slips down the ole proverbial ladder!  What's up with that???  That's it!  I'm sick of it.  I'm about to make him a belt myself and give him an honorary title!!!!  Must he be practically laid up in a stretcher before the higher-ups take notice.? He's not conventional but isn't that where the greatest of gifts come from sometimes? TAKE NOTICE! TAKE STOCK! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AROUND! The one we need is kept down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another thing that peeved me off was the whole Edge thing!  AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!  I'm so frustrated with this cause I was so psyched to see Edge back, but back with Vicki?  Oh hell no!  I refuse to watch that again. I'm done. I'm over it. So, that disappointed me BIG TIME!  But the rest of it was fabulous!! So, my second thank you, goes to the WWE for producing another great PPV!

You've got to give a little

Take a little

And let your poor heart break a little

RAW

So in the holiday spirit, my second thank you has to go to Shane and Stephanie McMahon for their sibling bickering and consistancy.  I think my New Year's resolution will be to learn audio cause when they started in on their usual banter, I wanted to add the theme from Benny Hill to the background!  lol...  Thanks guys. Love ya!

Christian:  There's been a lot of talk, especially in the universe, as to whether Christian will return.  I HOPE SO!!!!!!!  It's about time!!! I have two thumbs up for this move.  APPROVED!

That's the story of

That's the glory of love

The Miz & Morrison vs. Rey Mysterio and HBK: Is this a situation of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer?"  What transaction was JBL speaking of?  Enquiring minds want to know.  But John Morrison impressed me at the end of the match. I actually saw some aggression (real aggression) and frustration in him.  That was my third thank you.  It was a good thing, to me anyway.  I'm a fan. 

Mr. Kennedy is back!!!!  Yeh!!!!! I was excited to see him back.  I've missed that voice, that face, that spice!  Ahh..the gang is almost all here!! yup yup! Great to have you back.  So, my fourth thank you goes to Mr. Kennedy for his return. 

You've got to laugh a little

Cry a little

Until the clouds roll by a little 

My fifth thank you actual goes to Stephanie McMahon (again) because she was looking out for Randy Orton's interests. Just because all these wrestlers are coming back, Randy will NOT be lost in the shuffle. I can't let that happen. I won't. This does not say that I don't love John Cena and Batista because I do.  I'm psyched Cena is the Champ again. I am. It's just that sometimes hype can put perspectives in fogs, ya know?

I can't wait for the Slammy Awards, my sixth thank you, in 2 weeks. 3 hours! Be there! Wow.  I'm a little bossy while giving thanks! lol...

My seventh thank you goes out to Kane, of all people.  Thank you for using the stairs to the ring as weapon of mass destruction.  Nobody can quite kill a mood faster than you my friend.  lol... no seriously, thanks!

That's the story of

That's the glory of love

Chris Jericho has been touched by an angel.  That's all I can say.  He's now the # 1 contender.  He beat Orton and Batista.  You know, since I'm a student of Orton's, I've studied many a night watching him wrestle and trying to figure out what makes him tick. More research is required on that front.  However, I did discover something else.  He needs to be slapped around a few times in order to turn.  It's like a trigger.  The pain finally sparks some sort of fire! But when he does turn, watch out!.  You have to admire Jericho's tenacity though. He takes care of himself, physically, mentally, emotionally. He's independant.  I have to admire that. It's the mark of someone who has struggled and sacrificed and bled for what he believes in.  Don't get me wrong. All of these wrestlers have struggled, sacrificed and bled at some point or another.  But this is different. It's internal. It's ALL heart, not unlike a certain Hardy brother, we all know and love.  So, I respect that a lot!

As long as there's the two of us

We've got the world and all it's charms

Santino vs. Goldust: Freakfest 2008

I was waiting for Layla to whip her shoe at CM Punk again.  That was great. Good aim, girl! But, watch it!  I loves me some punk.

Rey Mysterio WILL BE intercontinental chmpion. I believe it!  Do you?

My eigth thank you, has to go to Melina!  Thank you for coming back!  We've missed you. And what a comeback! You rocked, girl!  Impressive, impressive, impressive with avegeance!  Can't wait to see what she does next.

And when the world is through with us

We've got each other's arms

Now, onto John Cena.  I thought the animal was Batsita? Was someone else studying pages from the Randy Orton handbook?  What, Cena, actually did come back anyway?  It was a bit scary. So, I have to direct this to the Champ, and I mean this with total love and respect: 'With great power comes great responsibility." You can't get the time you lost back. And maybe I'm leaping here, but, maybe nothing was stolen from you at all.  As I said before. TAKE NOTICE!  TAKE STOCK!  And TAKE A LOOK AROUND!  You weren't cheated. You were given a second chance.  You're injury just reminded you that you are human. You came back.  So, you are my next thank you of the year! You're return was a great one.  And to Jericho? Pappa Bear is back and you don't mess with the cubs! 

You've got to win a little

Lose a little

Yes, and always have the blues a little

This week's Focus Favorite: John Cena

That's it. That's the truth. I'm sticking to it!  Bye for now. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

That's the story of

That's the glory of love

OHHHH..my tenth and final thank you, goes out to the Universe. Thanks for...for...well...being there:)

Trying to tame a Lion, a Shrew, and convince a Turkey named Tom that this dinner is for their own good!  Oy!

That's the story of

That's the glory of love.

Til next time,

Hey hey hey!  What's up everyone?  I LOVED RAW this past Monday night in Atlanta, GA!!!!

Let's get right to it.  Shall we?  The whole RAW roster was in the ring waiting for the great Stephanie McMahon to address certain questions and/or concerns the wrestlers may have had.  First off, Randy Orton.  I knew he would question Steph about John Cena.  As soon as he stepped up I knew what was coming out of his mouth.  It was a good question:  why John Cena?  Stephanie gave Randy an answer he didn't want to hear but when Randy turned around and warned his fellow wrestlers that he was next, I didn't hear Stephanie chime in with a , "no!"  hmmm.. I hope. I've got my fingers crossed.

Then...Cody Rhodes stepped up.  I also knew what was about to drip out of his mouth.  You know, I certainly hope Ted DiBiase shows as much concern and devotion to his friend Rhodes like Cody is showing to Ted.  If not, things will implode (from within).  Stephanie announced a 30 man Lumberjack match between Randy and CM Punk and I was like, "WOOHOO!"  Randy didn't want it but I did.  "Please sir, can I have some more?"

Santino was next, tried to rap, which I could barely make out and made no sense as usual.  Candace was rolling with laughter and I was right there with her.

JBL asked a question that's been on mind also for quite some time now, "where the heck is Vince?" A swift deflection from Stephanie and Shawn Michaels interrupted. Then, all hell broke loose.

I thought the Kelly Kelly match against Vicoria went well, until the RAW divas ran out to help the struggling Kelly...Kelly.  No room for SmackDown divas in that ring! The SmackDown divas vs. The Raw divas will be a female version of Westside Story. I hope its good cause I really want to see...something great out there.  I'll be singing, "When you're in Raw, you're in Raw all the way, from you're first Pay Per View to you're last dying day." (not that I'm taking sides or anything) :>-

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SURVIVOR SERIES!!! EVERYONE WATCH!!!!! Wrestling and Turkey.  There's nothing better, baby!

Batista vs. Manu:  This match was so good!!!!  I couldn't believe how good Manu was.  He utterly impressed me.  I wasn't sure about Manu because it seems as though he's been hiding behind Cody Rhodes. But, look what emerged!!!! I was pleasantly surprised.  He held his own against Batista and Batista barely got the win out! This guy is ready physically.  Mentally, hmmm not quite sure but he's progressing quite nicely!!!!  Randy watched from a distance as his students attempted a big win. He was unimpressed with Cody when he backed down from Batista, and later, he let him know it. I'm not worried. They're primed and ready. Now? Ted. I believe Cody will be there to back Randy up.  The question now becomes, will they get along long enough to compete togther?  Cody needs Randy.  He'll back him up even though he's frustrated with his mental blocks. Randy will eventually clarify things.  They'll have read between the lines.  Down the road, the three will see the light and put all the pieces together.  For now, things have to get worse before they get better. I'm hanging on every RKO.

I say, Randy Orton fans unite at Survivor Series!

Random Thought: Can you picture an 85 year old HBK dancing down to the ring to his music, "I think I'm cute, I know I'm sexy."  lol...

The Miz & Morrison vs. HBK & Rey Mysterio: The Miz and Morrison won!  I was happy cause I like them alot.  But don't get me wrong. I also love HBK and Rey Mysterio.  Is it possible to love 2 tag teams as once???  This match was so exciting.  I completely lost track of time and everything watching this one.  The Miz didn't know his name at the end but man, was it good!  Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I've got to tell you.  If I was below a huge Kane flying at me from the top rope, I'd either cry, or scram. (I said scram. hee hee)

Mike Knox is a big mook.

Regal vs. Hardy was declared a double count out.  Gold has a strange effect on some people.  Regal looks possessed when he has to defend himself.

Chris Jericho:  nice suit btw.  He HAS done some pretty great things, some very impressive things.  I'm proud of him without sounding condescending.  But Cena has also done some fairly impressive things.  This match should be REALLY good.  Get your ear plugs out cause it's gonna get LOUD and I'll be leading the cheers! My hometown too! 

Last but CERTAINLY not least, the CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, 30 man Lumberjack match!  Only Randy can keep his cool like that while looking out into a sea of unfriendly faces surrounding him in the ring.  There were a few rolls out of the ring and semi-lame beatings but Randy won!  Now, CM Punk is one of my favorites too. But, doesn't Randy, BRING IT a little bit more???  C'mon.  Doesn't he????He made a beautiful scoop slam (which was awesome) and I was afraid he'd get frustrated and lose focus but he didn't!!  It was great.

A brawl broke out after as they went off the air but the night was magical and marvelous! 

The week's Focus Favorite: Manu

Well, I have to run..to the tv to order Survivor Series!!!!

So, I'll see you all there????? That's what I thought.

Flipping dough and making a pizza with the works,

Flawless

 

 

 

 

 

Hey everyone!

I don't know if it was the overseas air or what? But RAW was awesome this week.

Batista was loose in the U.K.  He wanted to use his rematch clause, until, my girl, Stephanie McMahon interrupted him.  She denied him the opportunity wanting to "break away from the past and wipe the slate clean."  For the last time we saw Kane vs. Rey Mysterio in a no-disqualification match, and Jericho vs. HBK in a last man standing match.  Just as she thanked a frustrated Batista for his understanding, Randy Orton made his way to the ring.  Randy informed the animal that he'd have to wait in line for a title shot, and that it's HIS turn at the title after Survivor Series.  In pure Randy Orton style, he bated and pissed off Batista by saying he was better and that the animal couldn't beat him.  Batista responded by claiming that history is written by winners and protested that HE was the better of the two.  It was soon to be Batista vs. Orton to settle an old score and Randy said yes to it.  Although it didn't sit well with Batista that Randy believed he could hold onto the title for longer than 8 days, and because of that, the animal acted on it. But Randy scooted out of the ring. He does his best to stay away and lives to fight another day.

Random thought:  The audience was great Monday night btw.

Santino vs. Regal for the Intercontinental Championship: the Honk-a-meter is now gone.  What a pity. I was so attached to it too. (yes, I'm being sarcastic, people).  Instead, Santino revealed the Honk-a-perfect-mountie-meter.  I love when he says, "of all the times."  A knee to the temple by William Regal and we have a new Intercontinental Champion.  Do you think the Queen watches RAW????

Question:  What do Santino's tattoos mean?

Kane had his weekly casual yet creepy as hell message for the fans regarding his match with Rey Mysterio.

D Lo Brown vs. Mike Knox: this was a quick and scary debut for the brute wrestler. (yikes)

Kenny Dykstra was released.  Good Luck, Kenny. Hopefully, we'll see you wrestle real soon! I'll be bummed for the both of us. Another one bites the dust.

Chris Jericho made an early appearance, sarcastically commenting on the John Cena tribute, and flaunting his win over Batista. You all realize this will never work with Cena, right? The only thing Cena will be paying close attention to is the World Heavyweight Championship. When he wants some.  He gets some!  I can't wait!

Rey Mysterio vs. Kane: Kane just kept at it, and at it, and at it.  Rey was doing everything possible to keep from becoming Kane bate.  It worked too!  Rey's quickness and determination defeated the mighty monster even after he used Rey as a baseball bat!  Ouch!  But you go Rey!!!

Ted DiBiase has a concussion.  Damn! He best be back soon.  Randy informed both Rhodes and Manu that neither of them are in his league.  Cody, in anger, smacked Orton across the face (which wasn't the best thing to do). You definitely DO NOT want Randy as an enemy.  However, I firmly believe both, more Cody than Manu, are on the right track. I think Randy wanted some sort of retaliation to see what they're made of; to see if they have the guts and the smarts, if you will, to pick and choose their own battles.  He's making them stronger.

Batista vs. Orton: Just as the match was set to get underway, Rhodes and Manu stormed to the ring on a mission and told Randy he couldn't beat him or Batista but that HE will beat Batista instead!  So, the match happened.  The animal destroyed Rhodes but props to Cody for the moxy and gumption to get into the ring with Batista in the first place. He speared Manu and got the win over Cody.  All the while, Orton was watching from a safe distance to gain perspective.  It wasn't immaturity this time that stepped into the ring. It wasn't emotion acting without the benefit of intellect.  It was different. He's learning.  It's not about Batista. It's about something much much bigger.  Cody is almost there. However, Randy will be there too waiting for him.  Set them up. Knock them down, and see if they can fly on their own.  That's how we learn. That's how we grow. It may sound cold and harsh. But that's life.  And Cody will get it eventually.  Better to dance with the devil you know than the devil you don't.  Randy is an excellent person to teach them this lesson.  Here endth mine.

Beth vs. Micki for the Women's Championship.  Beth took the action to Micki without any hesitation.   Beth won but I think this win was pure luck.  She's lacking focus lately and it's due to a certain Italian, ya know...hmm.  

Chris Jericho vs. HBK: I'm actually glad this calamity is now closed. I hated watching two wrestlers that I LOVE beat the **** out of each other week after week!  Good Grief, Charlie Brown.  The quicker they move on, the quicker I get some much needed sleep.  Sleep, good. (say it like a caveman for effect)

Question: Who else fought back the urge to jump into that little cab and drive to the local pub???

Back to the action: speaking of the cab, they wreslted on the roof of it, up and down the ramp, in and out of the ring, and on and off the stage!  It was freakin' great, man! 

Confession: I love when a wrestler just THROWS a ladder at  someone.  He or she doesn't utilize it's designed purpose, rather, he or she will hurl it, as a weapon. I love it. Wait, isn't that supposed to be a bad thing to love?.  eh. I'll wrestle it off!

Michaels elbowed Jericho right through the announcers table. JBL tried to ambush HBK but was caught and directly tossed into the audience.  Meanwhile, Jericho snatched the belt and clobbered HBK over the head with it.  You really couldn't ask for more action, people.  Jericho was victorious and left a half broken Michaels lying on the floor. Where was JBL?  Good question.  Where was JBL?  Oh, he's in the mix don't you worry.  Michaels and JBL will have it and real soon.

Well, that was great. I'm exhausted.  No Hardy, no Miz & Morrison but still fantastic. 

This week's Focus Favorite: Randy Orton

The 800th episode of RAW!!!  Wow, was it good. From beginning to end, I was excited.  So, here's the skinny from my little corner of the universe using only my opinions, of course.

Randy Orton opened the show.  How freakin' happy was I?? I love his persistence. He reminds me of myself, only I don't kick people in the head whenever I get mad.  However, I cannot tell a lie, I've imagined it SEVERAL times.

Matt and Jeff Hardy exploded out to the ring and I LOVED Jeff's make up!  He's an enigma and amuses me.  But not, ha ha amuses me. I mean, he's intriguing.  His face had two sides; split in two. If a picture says a thousand words then the outside must reflect the inside.  That interests me even more.  He's got all the signs of the classic superhero.  Troubled and struggling but always searching for some sort of redemption.  Maybe that's it.  Maybe he needs redemption.  Whatever it is, whatever he needs or wants, or journeys to find, I respect it. I admire it, and I thank God for it.  Maybe that's why we are attracted to him.  Somedays, we need a superhero.  Am I catapulting him to superhero status? Okay.  I'll go there. It's not like we don't have the evidence to back it up.  Rewind to Jeff's start with the WWE.  Nuff said.

The 8 man, over-the-top-rope-Battle Royal, was quick and to the point, really.  DiBiase elimintaed his own allies, hmmm.  In the words of the Hurricane: "What's up with that???"  I'm stumped.  But I'm definitely curious. Regal won. I have no idea how that happened but he'll continue on to face Santino now.  

Psyched to see Stephanie McMahon!!!

Adamle resigned.  Shane did his little victory dance. I'm not sure what's more scary; the dance itself or the fact that I look forward to it!  I need to get out more. But bonus...Randy's back in wrestling action baby!!!!  Finally.  I feel like I've been waiting forever. He didn't look too happy but I am giddy with gush and blush. 

The fact that Kozlov could beat Charlie Haas in under a minute was funnier than the gimmick he tried to pull off!  lol.... hee hee

DX vs. The Miz and Morrison. This was funny. However, I thought it was going to be longer for some reason.  DX won.  Like we didn't see that coming?  Their record and legend is in tact.  If politics weren't involved, would the outcome have been different???  We know better. shh...did I say that?  I love DX. But, I'm curious, that's all.

I have no comment on the Diva match, or lack of it. At least they were present and accounted for.

This blog needs a lighter moment. I'm slipping to the dark side.  wait...(deep breath).  Right!  I'm back.

Side Note: I wish Edge would come to RAW.

CM Punk vs. Randy Orton.  Through chaos comes clarity.  Randy looked great. CM looked ready.  I love both of these wrestlers and  they both have scores to settle. The shocker was when DiBiase interrupted the match.  He was over zealous, anxious to be great already, and on a high from the battle royal.  He needs to find patience.  His ego, perhaps, is bigger than his lot.  So, Randy responded the only way he needed to: punting him in the head.  When DiBiase regains clarity, he'll have learned something.  But what?  I'm afraid to see what it is.  The hardest thing to teach someone is that a man's character is his destiny.  So, the question now becomes: will he choose his destiny, or is it already chosen for him?

JBL vs. The Undertaker.  What gym is in Death Valley?  The Undertaker's chest is rockin'!  It's hot.  Is that weird? I think a dead man is hot?  And he's massive!  I was surprised how much effect he had on me Monday night. Well, regardless, he looks fah-hab-u-lous too! JBL tried to bag out.  Thankfully, HBK was there to throw the fish back into the deep waters!!!  And boy, did he squirm.

Idea: Undertaker's book, "Life After Death" 

Kingston is as happy as Kane is evil.  I thought trouble was a brewin' when Khali came out to the ring but I was pleasantly surprised yet again.  Does this make an unlikely alliance? I'm not jumping there just yet but it looks okay.

Batista vs. Jericho.  WHAT!!!!!!!!!

Now Jericho will face Cena at Survivor Series.  Does this mean Batista is done?  Hardly.  Everyone?  Watch out!  :> (evil grin)

This week's focus favorite: Jeff Hardy  (Jeff is my Lotus.)

Rockin' out hard to Pink's, So What while protecting endangered species from poachers!!!!!  I hate those guys.

Well, it's been days since RAW. I needed to mull it over. I thought RAW was great this past Monday night and I can't wait for the 3-hour, 800th episode!  I have high hopes.  So, here's what I thought of the show.

Jericho meant business headed to the ring.

Oh but first, Austin looked great at Cyber Sunday!!!!

Anyway, Adamle soon joined Jericho to inform him of some "special news" when (my man), Randy Orton, came to ring also on a no holds barred mission. He made a plea to Stephanie and Shane regarding Adamle's exit or his own.  This was disturbing.  I'm sure the McMahons will put their heads together and come up with a solution that benefits both parties involved.  I can't be held responsible for my actions should Randy walk... But when Adamle smacked Orton???  Yeh, that was it!

CM Punk/Kofi Kingston vs Cody Rhodes/Ted DiBiase was an awesome match. There was great wrestling and high flyin' action but ultimately, Punk and Kingston won the match. While listening for the 3 count, the feeling that came over me was pride, like a scholar when a student does well. So, how many licks does it take to get to the Tag Team Championship..the world may never know. But hee, hee, their champions for now.  For reference purposes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEMHCTjhElo&feature=related

Cody Rhodes really impresses me. He's not his father. He's someone completely unique. He's got the talent. He's got the charisma and yeh, I'm on board.  All Rhodes lead to glory for this one!

Question: Is being boisterous a requirement for a diva???  Wow, they got some pipes!!!! I would like to see Michelle McCool face Kelly Kelly though.

Quick note: JBL was more than a little annoyed  with HBK.  But this is a story that's developing. We'll get back to it later.

My favorite match of the night though was the Rey Mysterio and Evan Bourne match!! WOW!!!!!  I was so freakin' excited I didn't know whether to pass out, puke or pee my pants!!!  These two feed off of each other and the match got better and better as it went on. I've said it before and I'll say it again.  I love evenly matched wrestlers. These two are on every level.  Nobdy does it better, baby!! Thanks wwe for that one. I totally forgot my responsilities for a bit and remembered why I love watching wrestling so much!  Although, Kane and Mark Henry didn't let Rey celebrate for too long..or at all.

John Cena returns at Survivor Series.  That makes 1 more reason why it continues to be my favorite PPV!

Be Jealous! 

Remember this???

This week's focus favorite:  BATISTA

Here's the thing about Batista.  You think you know, what's to come?  You have no idea.  We haven't even begun to see the true power of the animal and look out when it's unleashed!  I don't even think HE knows the extent of his capabilities.  THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. Batista will make history.  Mark my words.

Well, that's all for now.  I am counting down the minutes to the next RAW and hanging on every Rock you tube video, while laughing my butt off!!!

Staying alive and revisiting the bell bottoms.

Toodles luvs,
