    Looking at the Survivor Series

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 03:31 PM EST [General]

    I'm going to hold off my "Diva" rant so I can look at tomorrow's Survivor Series Pay Per View. Of all the PPV's  currently on the schedule the Survivor Series has been running for the second longest amount of time, only to be trumped by Wrestlemania. What I always liked about Survivor Series were of course the Survivor Series matches themselves. Back in the day this was a big time PPV where feuds didn't necessarily end but escalated and storylines, like the Mega Powers breaking up, were given more steam before they hit their climax. The first four Survivor Series PPV's (1987-1990) were the very best in my humble opinion because they were all about the Survivor Series matches and nothing else. If I had to pick a favorite it would either be the first Survivor Series or the 1990 version where not only did we get two major debuts (Undertaker and Gobbelty Gooker) but the winners of Surviror Series matches all came back for one last "ultimate match of survival" (faces vs heels which saw Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior emerge as the final two men standing at the end).

    1991 was when the Survivor Series started to take a downhill turn for me personally. This was when they had the first non Survivor Series match on the card, when Undertaker beat Hulk Hogan for the WWE Championship with help from Ric Flair. Not only did this take two of the biggest names out of the Survival matches but it also put the main spotline on the singles match and away from the PPV's bread and butter. As time has passed the Survival matches have meant less and less..but enough of my sobbing, let's break this sucker down match by match.

    World Heavyweight Championship

    Chris Jericho (c) vs John Cena

    This match is reminiscent of Hulk Hogan appearing in WCW for the first time. Prior to Bash at the Beach 1994 there was tons of hype for the Hulkster on WCW TV, including a contract signing that featured Ted Turner himself and a parade. The very first thing they did with Hogan was have him fight for the title straight away. Even though Hogan and Flair had a very good match there were a couple of problems with the way this was booked. First of all, having Hogan vs Flair right away is what they call "blowing your load and the first try" (note how I tried to clean that up). The Hogan debut match did not need to with Flair or for the WCW title, and the WCW title match did not need Hogan. You could have had both matches (Hogan's debut, title match) seperate and made the Bash at the Beach seem even bigger, then build up towards Hogan vs Flair for the title looking towards Starrcade. That's along the lines of what I'm seeing here.

    The World Heavyweight Championship does not need John Cena's return, what should have happened here is Cena in one of the Survival matches to help build interest in those and Jericho defend against someone else...perhaps a rematch with Batista to keep that angle going. With things the way they are however I'm going to guess that there is no way Cena is going to lose his return match after so much hype, and Jericho will have another too short title run.

    Casket Match

    Undertaker vs Big Show

    I guess you can put in the "I think the casket match has been done to death" category. I'm usually up for a Taker/Show match as more often than not they are great big man battles, but after all of these years the casket match thing bores me. I guess I'll pick the Undertaker to win, but if he does it would pretty much end the feud since he beat Show at Cyber Sunday, and I think this feud still has some steam on it. Still, I'll go with Taker.

    WWE Championship

    Triple H (c) vs Jeff Hardy vs Vladimir Koslov

    I hate triple threats for the simple fact that they "cluster-f's". The only good "cluster-f's" in my opinion are battle royals/royal rumbles and Survival matches. I'm not a huge fan of any of the participants in this one but I'm going to pick Trips here for a couple of reasons. I wouldn't trust Hardy with a backyard wrestling championship, nevermind one of the biggest titles in the biggest wrestling promotion. With his track record I don't believe he deserves a modicum of trust. Koslov is just not ready to be at the top level, and with his severe lack of charisma I don't know if he ever will be. So Trips it is.

    Survivor Series Match

    Shawn Michaels, Rey Misterio, Cryme Tyme, and Great Khali vs JBL, MVP, Kane, Miz and Morrison

    As a fan I would like to see the heels go over with Miz and Morrison surviving, and that's what I'm going to predict. After all I've been picking nothing but faces so far and the heels have to win something. Miz and Morrison are one of the best acts going in WWE right now, and I was beyond pissed when D-X (reforming for the 1,000,000th time) just had to get win on the 800th episode of RAW. It wouldn't have hurt his highness Triple H to lose a tag match and help rebuild the sad tag team division.

    Survivor Series Match

    Batista, Matt Hardy, CM Punk, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton, Shelton Benjamin, William Regal, Cody Rhodes and Mark Henry

    Randy Orton has a great look and is ok in the ring but is absolutely bankrupt of charisma. I don't understand why they continue to push this dullard on us. I see Batista as the sole survivor here, although that prospect doesn't thrill me. A heel turn for CM Punk however is a prospect that would thrill me.

    Survivor Series Match

    Beth Phoenix, Jillian Hall, Mickie James, Kelly Kelly and Candice Michelle vs Michelle McCool, Victoria, Natalya, Marise and Maria

    Now here we have "popcorn/bathroom break/bang your head against the wall" match. I can so not care about this much, but I will predict that those of watching will be the true losers for having to suffer through it.

    Stolen Revo.. reward offered

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 02:19 PM [General]

    Silly me i left my highly modified revo truck in the boot of my car last night, I woke up this morning and when i looked out my window, the boot of my car was wide open...  :(

    I am gutted it has a brand new TM523 RB engine, just about everything that could be upgraded had been, such as all alloy integy supension arms, traxxas aftermarket tie rod ends, shocks and CVD drive shafts. The gearbox has had all the plastic bits removed in favour of steel gears incl the diffs.. Integy air filter etc etc... DX3 controller and Ace DS1015 servos.....  ALL GONE!!! they also took all my spare parts, fuel & tools.

    It owes me a lot of money so if anyone has seen it or knows of its whereabouts i would be so appreciative that I am willing to pay a reward for its return.. 

    The body was a purple/green 41 Willys coupe and I had modified the body posts so its quite unique. It also has a traxxas graphite wing on it, the photos on my rc mate site are pretty much how it looked yesterday.

    my cell phone number is 021 368 758..

    Chris (devasted!)

     They also took my valentine 1 & navman which i am equally gutted... and if you know the person(s) who did this and are willing to give me their details that would awesome, i will reward you with cash and them with death.

    OH Dear!

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 03:16 PM EST [General]

    My D gratitude list is going to be short and sweet today. I have to go take a nap so I can be back at work all night. Well my first D gratitude is a friend of mine named Donna. She is very special to me. We seem to be forming a real close friendship lately. She has struggles and she walks through them with dignity and grace. And laugh. OMG can we laugh on the phone. We have this very secret plan and we're in cahoots together about it. I think it's coming along girl! Anyways I love her with all my heart. And cant' wait for Founders Day when I can give her a big hug. Love you chicka! Dignity is another something I am graetful for today. I can walk with my held high everyday now. I don't have to hide and be ashamed of anything I do. The program of AA, the Big Book and my spiritual life with God have given me these gifts. AA has given me a Design for living. When I was drinking and using I didn't know how to live. I was just like flopping around everyday looking for my next high. Today I live like the woman God has intend for me to be all along. Dogs-OMG I wish I had one. Even in my little studio apartment i would love to have a dog. Someone that would happy to see my come home and snuggle with me at night. I guess i could sneak one in but would that be the next right thing? OK I'm sure there's more but this girl's got to get some sleep so she can work all night. OH I sure hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend Be gentle with yourselfs and each other Love, Julie

    SOLO LEELO Y ANALIZA QUE FUE Y QUE ESTA PASANDO MI AMOR

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 03:12 PM EST [General]

    Duele amar a alguien y no ser correspondido, pero lo mas doloroso es amar a alguien, y nunca encontrar el valor para decirle a esa persona lo que sientes, tal vez Dios quiere que conozcamos a unas cuantas personas equivocadas antes de conocer a la persona correcta, para que al fin, cuando la conozcamos, sepamos ser agradecidos por ese maravilloso regalo.
    Una de las cosas mas tristes de la vida es cuando conoces a alguien que significa todo y solo por darte cuenta que al fin no es para ti y lo tienes que dejar ir.
    Es cierto que no sabemos lo que tenemos hasta que lo perdemos, pero también es cierto que, no sabemos lo que hemos estado perdiendo hasta que lo encontramos. Darle a alguien todo tu amor nunca es seguro de que amarán de regreso, pero no esperes que te amen de regreso, solo espera que el amor crezca en el corazón de la otra persona, pero si no crece, sé feliz porque creció en el tuyo.
    Hay cosas que te encantaría oír, y que nunca escucharás de la persona que te gustaría que te las dijera, pero no seas tan sordo para no oír las de aquel que las dice desde su corazón.
    Nunca digas adiós si todavía quieres tratar, nunca te des por vencido si sientes que puedes seguir luchando.
    Nunca le digas a una persona que ya no la amas si no puedes dejarla ir. El amor llega a aquel que espera, aunque lo hayan decepcionado, a aquel que aun cree, aunque antes haya sido traicionado, aquel que todavía necesite amar, aunque haya sido lastimado y aquel que tiene el coraje y la fe para construir la confianza de nuevo. El principio del amor es dejar que aquellos que conocemos sean ellos mismos y no tratarlos de voltear con nuestra propia imagen, porque entonces solo amaremos el reflejo de nosotros mismos en ellos.
    No vayas por el exterior, este te puede engañar. No te vayas por las riquezas porque aun eso se pierde, ve por alguien que te haga sonreír, porque toma tan sólo una sonrisa para hacer que un dia oscuro brille. Espero encuentres a aquella persona que te haga sonreír...
    Hay momentos en los que extrañas a una persona tanto en sueños, que quieres sacarlos de tus sueños y abrazar con todas tus fuerzas. Espero que sueñes con ese alguien especial y que ese alguien especial sueñe lo que quieres soñar. Ve por donde quieres ir. Se lo que quieres ser, porque tienes tan sólo una vida y una oportunidad para hacer todo lo que quieras hacer.
    Espero que tengas suficiente felicidad para hacerte dulce, suficientes pruebas para hacerte fuerte, suficiente dolor para mantenerte humano, suficiente esperanza para ser feliz, las personas más felices no siempre tienen lo mejor de todo.
    La felicidad espera aquellos que lloran, aquellos que han sido lastimados, aquellos que buscan, aquellos que tratan, porque sólo ellos pueden apreciar la importancia de las personas que han tocado sus vidas. No puedes ir feliz por la vida hasta que dejes ir tus fracasos pasados y los dolores de tu corazón

    This is the best quality figure that will be found in a retail store. In this case the blister might have a scratch or scuff inside or out, but the card must be in mint condition.

    Titles or No Titles

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 02:57 PM EST [General]

    Okay I have been reading several blogs on here, they all talk about those people who say they are a fan of a certain superstar but when that star loses or has no title they really don't care about that star anymore.

    Some of you say that true fans wouldn't do that and I completely agree with that. These men and women are doing what they love to do and most do it quite well. To just write them off because storylines have them losing or have no title is just wrong in this fans opinion.

    I also agree that some of the WWE has become predictable but if you have been watching and been a fan of Pro-Westling in general as long as I have you tend to know what to expect.

    When I was little I watched to see who would win matches. Now I watch to see those who make me want to stay tuned. Heel or Face, they better know how to wrestle in one style or another. It has become easier to tell who can and who really is just winging it. Second the personality of the character has to be interesting. Otherwise it really hard to watch no matter how great of a wrestler they are.

    I confess

    Saturday, November 22, 2008, 07:55 PM GMT [General]

    I CONFESS

    Over 30 years after walking out of a Catholic church service I have finally seen the light.

    I have realised the magnitude of my actions and how evil I became. I have therefore decided that I will return to the religion in which I was raised.

    So, tomorrow morning I will for once get up before 11am on a Sunday and make my way to the House of God and sing the praises of the Almighty in my local Catholic church.

    I will also, at the first opportunity, ask the local priest to hear my confession.

    It will probably take the rest of the year to do my penance.

    I have also turned over a new leaf on this site. I hereby resolve to be nice to all the people I have gone out of my way to offend.

    I will be especially servile to Fr James and ask for him to pray for me.

    I will start licking the arse of Christina too.

    I will also turn a new leaf by trying to be patient with the boring people who post nothing but tedium here.

    I will also offer to take the collection plate round during mass without even thinking about using the money on there to buy my next pack of ciggies.

    I have seen the light - I am a woman reborn!
