Been awhile since I've randomly mused and I thought it was time to resurrect the habit. I'm going to cover a couple weeks here and hit on a few et ceteras. For starters, I caught ECW two weeks ago and was reminded once again what a fun guy to watch Finlay is.  I've been lucky enough to catch him live too and he's a lark! The man ain't much to look at, but I bet he'd rock to hang out with.  He's been around freaking forever.  He's over as h*ll live: everybody loves his brash, bruiser style. He makes every match he's in more compelling.  And he hasn't had a title in ages.  Tip of Stetson to one of WWE's unsung heroes. Thanks, Fin!

 Side note: my new comedic dream in life is to hear Jack Thwagger say the word "isthmus" several times on live television. :-)

 Divas Rantings and Raves: the finisher Melina used on McCopycat was smashing!!! I totally loved it - wicked fun, funky, creative and looks pretty dang devastating too! I hope she keeps on with it.  What she needs to not keep on so much with is her promos.  Tone it down just a tad, hon.  If I wanted to watch that kind of acting, I'd catch a high school play. (Side note: if she and McCopycat start a feud, Creative should be pushed to capacity (does anyone else smell smoke????) to figure out how to build it up, since promos (other than the silent ones McC excels at) are pretty much off the table).

 Speaking of McCopycat, PLEASE, I'm beggin', just ONCE, can some diva do what I would do?? (Well, what would you do, TL? ) When she starts doing those ludicrous push-ups, can some chick toddle on over and give her the swift kick in the ribs she's asking for? What idiot does push-ups in the middle of the match? And all her opponents just stand there, mesmerized.  What is she, a snake charmer? Hello, Madison WI ! There are no time-outs here! Its still a match! Flip her on her shapely derriere and pin her! Geez. It takes ME to come up with that? Roll of eyes.

P.S. What the heck was McC doing w/ that sloppy Clashbreaker on Gail last week? Did she catch Rawdiva-itis?

 And raves.  Yes, there are raves.  Too bad last week's Raw divas match was so bleeding sloppy, because the week before was awesome! Not perfect, mind you, but awesome.  Pay attention. Yeah, I know there were some botches.  I saw 'em. But it didn' t take away from how entertaining the match was. The girls did a bang up job.  They all looked totally fired up. Maryse is growing her character swimmingly and justifying her move to Raw.  She never fails to make me laugh with her taunting, self-confident ways. Her snob****ness is metmorphosizing from aggravating to endearing. Mickie is looking rejuvenated by the the new competition.  Its always preferable to watch Jillian than hear Jillian and she did a nice job in this match, as she generally does.  Kelly keeps trying out new moves.  Some work and some don't, but I respect her for staying creative. And kudos to her for trying some flying stuff off the apron.  I know the haters and the pseudo-experts are going to say she still can't wrestle. Well, they can kiss my glasses.  And get some of their own. I enjoyed this rollicking rough & tumble match.  Nice job, ladies.  I hope we get to see more like it...onward & upward.
