Karaoke Films....

Dalby's got back... sideways...

The girls rock some ABBA.

Kyle is a retard.

This isn't from karaoke, but it continues to prove the "Kyle is a retard" theory.

Saturday

Karaoke was fun last night. Piling was quite lit by the end of the night, his woman had to hold him up. What About Ivan is quite loud, Dalby is a good man and Dustin is a solid individual. Chantal had quite a few pops and let loose on some Papa Don't Preach. Phil is a fucker as usual. Photography to come.

Today is the big dance recital. Not sure what to expect but it should be fun. Ribs tonight, fucking awesome.

Shawns robot suit he made is killer. I have to pretend to be mad for doing it on "compnay time" but its pretty fucking cool"

BBB's Notebook: ECW 06/05/07

-Whats with Vince in the rocking chair? I didn't see Raw but I assume its something stupid.

-Lashley goes over 3 Originals. I am so very pleased. I think the clock is ticking on Tommy, Balls and Sandmans contracts.

-Kevin Thorn and Stevie Richards put together a really solid match. Original Sin is a sick-looking move.

-The Major Brothers vs. Burke and Cor Von was good as well.

-Punk and Striker was ok, I'm really not sold on Striker.

BBB's Notebook: ECW 05/29/07

-I probably should have watched this before the ppv.

-Good ol' Tommy, always there to defend ECW.

-Punk and Burke was quite good.

-The Vince/Lashley split screen is fucking brutal.

-Extreme Expose makes me miss Mike Knox. Where the hell is he anyway, Grizz?

-Dreamer and Orton was better then I expected.

BBB's Notebook: WWE One Night Stand 2007

-I watched RVD and Randy Orton at work with Shigs and Dustin and it filled us with giggles. RVD plays the concussion so well including his bail off the top rope. Good times.

-A 6 man table match with only one fall? Really?

-Striker sold the bulldog lawn-dart style.

-The ECW 6-man was fun. I don't like Monty Brown but he looked good tonight.

-Ad for the draft. Knowing my luck all the ECW originals will be moved to Raw before the ECW show here next month.

-A lot of fuckin' bulldogs on this ppv...

-The ladder match appears to be a bit of a clusterfuck.

-Shelton had a rough night.

-Who the fuck is this twerp with Khali?

-What the fuck is Dykstra wearing?

-Wow, Mark Henry and Kane was a piece of shit. I'm shocked.

-Lashley totally fucking ate it at the begginning of his match with Vince!!

-Lashley wins! Praise be to Allah!

-Marias promo was fucking hilarious!

-A pudding match. Need I say more?

-The cage match didn't really do much for me. I find Batista very bland.

-Cena and Khali was blah, to be expected.

Day Off Friday

Ok, here's the plan for today.... Watch One Night Stand, 2 weeks worth of ECW and 2 weeks worth of TNA Impact while I attempt to clean up my place a bit, do dishes and laundry.

Ned makes me laugh.

EDIT: Scratch Laundry. The "put money on your card" machine gimmick is out of order.

Question....

.....For Chris or Fleets or Moks or whoever:

Are Satelite Party any good? I like the single.

Big Brother 8 Rumors

Apparantly, the cast is set and the new season starts in a month. There have been plenty of rumors going around saying that the direction of the show will be a vast change from season's past, though we've heard that pretty much prior to every season. If the rumor that the cast is pitting past high school bullies against those they bullied while in school.

BBB's Notebook: TNA iMPACT! 05/24/07

-The Steiner Brothers/Team 3D promo off the top was really really good. Too bad the match is so going to blow.

-Saddlebags.... Nice.

-Tomko is fucking charisma on wheels baby!!

-15 minutes in minus commercials and finally a damn match.

-Basham and Damaja vs. Kip James and Hoyt sucked. This whole angle does nothing for me.

-Nice promo from Samoa Joe.

-Have I mentioned Traci Brooks huge breasts lately?

-I love Homicide.

-Hector looks a lot like Eddie.

-Nice Scorpion Deathlock reversal by Joe.

-Joe beats Sting and a blah-ish match. The Sting/Daniels angle could be interesting now.

Time Goes By...

A pretty hectic and fun weekend. Saturday afternoon we baked at Bens soccer tournament. It was pretty fun to watch and he scored a goal in the shootout which was pretty sweet for him and his family.

I finally got my hands on the GFA M*A*S*H DVD set, watched the first disc, some pretty cool extras and hidden gems. Looking forward to watching Kevin Smith: Evening Harder and Ramones Raw.

Finished watching last weeks Raw, now I have to go through 2 weeks of iMPACT! and tommorow I should be getting the One Night Stand PPV and SNME. With the other new dvd's that come out next week I'm never going to catch up...

Saturday night was the Police concert at Commonwealth. We couldn't seem to find the Best Buy VIP area but it didn't matter, the whole night was awesome. Fictionplane were really good, wasn't sure what to expect from them and I was pleasantly surprised. Sloan were awesome as usual. I was concerned a little as last time I saw them in a stadium setting the crowd was less then responsive but it was a fesitval and the crowd was full of lemon-throwing douchebags. They came off really well. The Police were awesome, I was very impressed. The high point for the audience seemed to be "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" but the highlight for me was "Can't Stand Losing You" although it got a little 'jammy' at points. It was pretty sweet.

Sunday was inventory full count. 14 hours but I'll make some sweet cash. Too bad I missed Bens birthday.

I just turned on TBS and Diffren't Strokes is on, haven't seen that shit in years.

BBB's Notebook: WWE Raw 05/28/07

-I don't know who half these broads are in the summer beach whatever-the-fuck-match.

-Michelle McCool wins it, and I have to be honest, it was kinda hot.

-Fruity delicious fruity fruity skittles!

-A tri branded WWE draft. Oh man, ECW is gonna suck.

-Man, Shanes promo lacked a lot of steam.

-The 8-man tag was good.

-Holy fuck Cena, stop talking......

-Small TNA chant for RVD.

-RVD and Orton was terrible!

-Nice to see the Nature Boy tagging with his sons ex-girlfriend.

-The kiss-cam? Good lord.....

-"Let's go Cena/Cena sucks!!" I feel like I'm watching TNA.

-Crowd is super hot for the main event.

Inventory

Done and home. Good Night...

Inventory

Almost done... My fuckin' back hurts.

Inventory

Ok, it's approximatly 1:30 PM and our full Inventory count has just begun. Its going to be a long night......

Man, how hard is it to burn a fucking dvd.... I keep having issued with the sound being out of sync with the picture and a zillion people have given me solutions and none of them work. Pissing me off because I have a bunch of stuff I want to burn but it's all fucked up.

I think they screwed up on my check too. Seems to be short a few bucks. Today isn't starting off well, hopefully it finishes better.

Yes!

I won tickets to The Police! Saturday night shall be awesome. Sloan are opening so all is right with the world.

This morning I saw a guy get his head stuck in an elephants ass on Worlds Most Amazing Home Videos. They said it was a "horrific ordeal" but I thought it was a fucking riot

The toilets at work are continually flushing. I'm worries I'm going to get sucked in.

The Jays took 2 of 3 from the Yankees. Not too bad.

Wow

Fuck man, I gotta clean my place up....

BBB's Notebook: ECW 05/22/07

-Snitsky continues to mow through the competition. Poor Tommy is almost at jobber status.

-Thorn made short work of his jobber. Looks like a bit of a push is coming his way.

-Matt Striker and Bret Majors was a good little match. I don't know much about these Majors bros. Grizz?

-Cor Von's music doesn't suit him at all. Sounds like Was Not Was.....

-Main event was pretty good. Cool to see Punk and RVD team up. I still don't like Marcus Cor Von or Monty Brown or whatever the fuck his name is this week.

Quote of the Day

"Fuck around!" - Drew.

Whoo Hoo Fuckers!

So we went into the drive-through at McD's and after we ordered we decided we wanted Tacos instead. So when it was our turn to pick up our food, Chantal just drove right through with a huge grin on her face like she was Bonnie and Clyde and had just committed the fucking crime of the century.

Too funny.

Quote of the Day

"You're driving with your fucking elbows? So this is how I'm gonna die....." - Me.

What?

Something about Green Day singing "Working Class Hero" by John Lennon on American Idol is so unwholesome and wrong that I feel ill.

Green Day are the new U2, and I don't mean that in a good way.

BBB's Notebook: WWE Royal Rumble 1989

-I love the old school event openings. I haven't seen some of this shit in years.

-Live at The Summit in Houston Texas. Gorilla and Jesse the Body are your hosts.

-The Hacksaw Jim Duggan foam 2x4's were selling like hotcakes. Come to think of it, I think I had one........

-The opening 6 man of The Rogeaus and Dino Bravo vs. The Hart Foundation and Jim Duggan was a fun little match.

-Dibiase doesn't seem happy with the number he drew for the Rumble, but its "Good news for Bad News."

-The Warrior/Rude posedown is boring me.

-Rockin' Robin vs. Judy Martin sucked and Sherri was brutal on commentary.

-Loved the jobbers carrying King Haku to the ring.

-Ax and Smash drew #'s 1 and 2. Nice touch.

-"Rugged" Ronnie Garvin. There's a blast from the past.

-Outlaw Ron Bass. Awesome.

-Andre eliminates himself running from Damien. Crowd pops.

-Hogan eliminated Savage! The Mega-Powers explode!!

-The Red Rooster got zero pop. Poor Terry.

-Big Jon Studd wins the 1989 Royal Rumble. Not everyone has a price Mua ha ha haaa!

Notes

-Jordin Sparks did a good job of acting surprised when she won American Idol last night.

-Artie announced he is leaving the Stern Show in January. Robin was acting like a annoying cunt.

-I sat on my Judgement Day dvd and broke it. It had the best menu ever too....

-Tommorow is the Bad News Allen show in Cochrane and I am very excited.

Weird.

Some dude just came in to my store, used our bathroom and then asked how to get to Saskatoon.

Odd.

WrestleMania Box Set

So last night I finally finished the WrestleMaia box set. I took me almost a year and a half to finish it but it was a lot of fun. 3 will always be my favorite followed by X7, however WrestleMania XIX was a hidden gem. Lots of good stuff on that one as well.

Anyway, bring on the Royal Rumble!

Smashing Pumpkins - Tarantula

I made this because I'm awesome and I wanted folks to hear the new song and leave comments. You're welcome.

Excited

Dig it.

EDIT: I posted this right before I left for work this morning so I didn't have a chance to weigh in. This song make me all warm and it feels like home. The record has been pushed back to July 10.

BBB's Notebook: WrestleMania XX - Goldberg vs. Lesnar

I was worried WWE would clip all the goodness from this match on the box set but the greatness is there in its entirety.

All the good shit from the crowd, the reluctant lock up and everything in between.

Fucking sweet.

BBB's Notebook: ECW on Global 05/17/07

-I enjoy the recap of all the stuff on Raw that pertains to ECW because I don't always catch Raw. But why not do all that stuff on the ECW program?

-They are using the Smackdown entrance this week. I hope they haven't given up on that small ECW entrance. I liked it because it was small and somewhat of a throwback to the old ECW. Not it just looks like Smackdown lite.

-I assume there will be a newly edited opening video that is RVD and Sabu-free.

-RVD gets killed by Snitsky in what is appearing to be his last match with WWECW. Pretty fuckin' symbolic if you ask me....

-How many times is poor Stevie gonna job to Punk?

-What the fuck is with "Nunzio?" Why ditch Little Guido?

-Seriously, can The Condemned just die?

-Man, Bobby can cut a promo like nobodys business!!

-Lashley is powerful and amazing. Not even the strength of 3 men can stop his path of destruction!!

BBB's Notebook: TNA iMPACT! replay 05/18/07

-The recap of the Sacrifice main event sure made it look good. The finish looked interesting as well.

-"TNA World Heavyweight Champion." That will take a little getting used to.

-Nice Paul Harvey referance by Tenay. Problem is, not many wrestling fans know who the fuck Paul Harvey is.

-I love Jim Cornette.

-Oh god, 5 qualifying matches for a King of the Mountain at Slammiversary. Why the fuck can't TNA do something simply...

-Jerry Lynn and Tiger Mask vs. Sabin and Shelley was good but short.

-Haven't seen Raven in action for a while. He's getting chunky.

-Eric Young is over. They did a good job on that one.

-The new TNA mascot Stomper?

-Rhino and Angle was nothing special.

-Oh yay! Rick Steiner is back.

Friday

Yesterday was a pretty fun day for me. Met Chantal and Laura downtown for lunch and decided to hang around downtown untill Chantal got off work.

I caught a matinee of "Hot Fuzz." It was good, not what I expected but I enjoyed it. I'll give the dvd another spin.

After the movie I sat at the bar at the Elephant and Castle and had a few beers while I waited for Chantal. She joined me and had a Baileys and coffee before we headed to dinner.

For dinner we headed to Jungle Jims on Bourbon Street at the mall. It was a cool little restaurant. Fun decor and the food was good and inexpensive.

After dinner we headed to the Comic Strip to catch Tony Rock. We didn't know he was playing when we decided to go so it was a special bonus. The first comic was awful, however the 2nd was very funny.

Tony Rock killed. He is the brother of Chris Rock so I was a little concerned about a lot of name dropping and the suck but he never mentioned his brother once and was hilarious.

After the comedy Chantal decided to surprise me with a nightcap and Saint Petes. We had a couple of drinks and caught 3 of the girls, it was pretty fun to go there with her.

Once we got back to her house, we.... Well, that's none of your damn business.

Anyway, it was an awesome day.

Chicken for Lunch

I was told it's the greatest place ever so I hauled my ass all the way downtown for lunch with Chantal.

It was ok, certainly nothing to write home about. Perhaps my pallette is unrefined.

Did I spell pallette right?

Dammit!

Sabu showed up at the Smackdown/ECW taping tonight several hours late and without his ring gear. He was then told to go home and immediately released. Sabu was originally scheduled to face Kevin Thorn on ECW On Sci-Fi tonight and plans had to be changed after he was sent home. The latest word is that after finding out that he was scheduled to lose to Thorn, he claimed he had a neck injury.

Some believe that Sabu showed up to the taping late on purpose, knowing he would be sent home, because he has not been happy with how he is being used. This is apparently not the first time he has shown up late and/or without his gear recently.

And...

Rob Van Dam's match with Snitsky on Tuesday could have very well been his last match ever in WWE. Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that RVD is officially done with World Wrestling Entertainment as of last Wednesday.

WWE felt that keeping RVD around and burying him on TV was not worth it and it was better to get him off TV as soon as possible.His contract wasn't going to expire until late June at the earliest, but WWE officials cut that short because RVD said he would not re-sign with them and they had nothing for him until then. Despite the early release, RVD has a no-compete clause, and thus he can't show up in TNA next week for instance.

He is expected to sign with TNA after a long deserved summer break. If and when he joins TNA, it will probably be in September at the earliest. TNA is trying to land a two hour slot for the fall season on Spike, so if they end up getting it, they'll probably hold him off for the two hour show's debut.

Fuck. I am very excited for the taping here in July because I wanted to see the originals.... And now my 2 favorites are gone. I can't say I'm surprised, It's shocking Sabu lasted this long. Oh well, hopefully Sandman and Tommy will make it to July. ( and Punk!)

Awesome

The photoshop HBK's hair on WWE.com. Perfection.

Hidden iPod Gem of the Day

"Sweetness Follows" - REM

A Letter

To: That fucker in car-fi
From: Me

If you play Gwen Stefani or "My Humps" again I'm going to kill you and paint the walls with your blood.

Damn

The Tim Hortons lineup is ridiculous, who is responsible. Damn, I'm cranky this morning....

Just Your Average Wednesday

-This morning was the Andy Dick roast on the Howard Stern show. Like all the roasts it was awesome with a few notable exceptions. Colin Quinn, who killed on the Artie Roast was disappointing and Benjy sucked as would be expected.

-Jerry Fallwell died. I hope he fucking rots. He was everything that's wrong with everything, with quotes such as:

And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, "You helped this happen."-- Rev Jerry Falwell, blaming civil libertarians, feminists, homosexuals, and abortion rights supporters for the terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, quoted from John F Harris, "God Gave US 'What We Deserve,' Falwell Says," The Washington Post (September 14, 2001)

I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!-- Rev Jerry Falwell, America Can Be Saved, 1979 pp. 52-53, from Albert J Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom

If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.-- Rev Jerry Falwell (attributed: source unknown)

-How do you enjoy the whipped topping on the top of an Iced Capp? You can't suck it through the straw...

-I'm trying to track down Bad Religions "Into the Unknown." No torrents anywhere that have yielded anything so far. Anyone?

Quote of the Day

"Today is Asian box day!" - Chantal.

BBB's Notebook: TNA iMPACT! 05/10/07

-Homicide/DVon/Scott Steiner wasn't a bad match, there just wasn't much to make me care about it.

-Christy Hemme makes me hate wrestling.

-The Bashams attack!! Basham and Damager? Damaja? What's the deal?

-The Jarrett recap video was well done. They're doing a good job of hyping the ppv.

-I hate the Backlund deal.

-"No time for Sonjay..." Nice.

-Shelly/Sabin vs. Lethal/Dutt was good.

-The 3 way split screen interview was a little chaotic. I think it was by design but it still sucked.

-The main event 6 man was a lot of fun but the finish was cheap.

-Christian is a brilliant smug heel.

Observation

Men should not wear jean cut-off shorts.

Grrr

Why do they make it so hard to open the packaging on kids toys!?! By time I get it open I'm ready to fucking puke blood...

New Shit

I got offered a new position at work as the Media supervisor. Media is responsible for gaming, software, cd's and dvd's, phones and stuff like that. It's pretty scary as I've never run a sales department but it's pretty exciting. We'll see how it all works out.

I got a new blackberry which I am also excited about. I've wanted one of the new ones for a while and it basically just fell into my lap and it will cost me basically nothing when it's all said and done so that's pretty cool.

I feel like I'm gaining weight and I was worried that it was due to my addiction tot he Rockstar energy drink but Dustin said that isn't the case. I trust his diagnosis because it means I can keep drinking them.

Check out 3BTV, the video blog because there is a ton of cool shit on there.

Life and other such pleasantries....

I've sort-of been challenged to write some intricate details about my life... I don't really know what to put down. My life is pretty routine, get up, go to work, spend time with the family and try and squeeze in some sleep.

-I'm very excited about the weekend shows on the 25th and 26th. It's an honor to be on a show with that pool of talent and an even bigger honor to get to work with Abdullah the Butcher. A frightening honor.

-Roger Clemens gan go fuck his hat, he's really milking this retirement thing and I think he's a douchebag as is Barry Bonds. He can celebrate that record all he wants but he's a fucking juiced up pig and can also commence in the hat-fucking.

-Word is that RVD may be done with WWE after the One Night Stand show next month. I think when push comes to shove he will re-sign although RVD in TNA could be interesting.

-Trying to win Police tickets from work, crossing fingers.

-Another rousing T-ball game last night, anyone know who won?

-"Time of your life" by Green Day is a piece of shit, I don't care what anyone says.

-Word 'round the grapevine is that Spider-Man 3 is a huge let down. I'm sure I'll see it one day.

-Looking forward to checking out The Tears and Brett Andersons solo album.

-1 month 28 days 13 hours and 33 minutes until Zeitgeist. Please James, rejoin the band!

-Looking forward to the Office tommorow night, too bad I have to close.

This wasn't very intricate, I don't really get struck to write stuff often. I have a million opinions but they all fly out of my head when I sit down in front of a keyboard.

GFA

I'm holding a copy of the M*A*S*H Goodbye Farewell and Amen dvd and I am giddy with delight.

Unfortunatly, fucking thing isn't released for 2 weeks.

More Sloan..... Nice

3BTV

Damn

I have to work so no Everclear gig for me....

BBB's Notebook: WWE Backlash 2007

-Lance "don't call me Garrison" Cade is deceptively big and solid.

-Trevor Murdoch's Canadian Destroyer was not pretty.

-Melina and Mickie James was pretty good. Melina is improving nicely.

-Fuck I'm tired of hearing about The Condemned.

-Benoit and MVP was very good. I don't catch Smackdown very often so I don't see MVP all that often but he looked good on this night.

-Not even Bobby Lashley himself could withstand the McMahon onslaught. The mark in me died a little inside. Joey and Tazz did a really good job of selling Vince's win.

-Taker and Batista was plodding and deliberate and told the story well albeit a tad overbooked. The little explosion on the finish was TNA-like lame.

-Is it me or does Edge have a new tattoo ever week?

-Cena/Orton/Edge/Michaels was very very good. The finish was fucking brilliant.

Calgary

Went to Calgary Saturday night to see my sisters new baby, had a blast. Saturday my mom made ribs, we watched TNA and then Merv and I played some old school Sega Genesis. I beat him at baseballa nd we split 2 games of hockey.

Sunday we just kinda hung out and took the kids to Bowness Park to let them run off some energy. Then it was a turkey dinner and we headed home in time to catch the Amazing race finale and the SNL in the 90's show (which was awesome.) I was really surprised how many of the sketches that I remembered but we used to never miss it.

Oh That Warrior....

Warrior Warrior got into an incident with the Iron Sheik on Sunday at a sports convention in Edison, NJ. Both men were there signing autographs. When Warrior saw Sheik, he demanded that Sheik leave, saying that Sheik had talked badly about him in the past. Sheik got upset and acted as if he was going to go after Warrior, but Warrior called security and the situation was resolved.

Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino were both also at the convention signing autographs. Warrior did not interact with Hogan, but did greet Sammartino. Credit: PWInsider.com

Please god, tell me there is footage of this... That guy is fuckin' nuts.

Quote of the Day

"I bet if it was taped to the fridge you'd remember" - Dafydd

Hey Shigs!

That Pumpkins DVD had a bit of stuff I didn't have already. I really need to sift through it and take what I want.

Picked up the Tom Green Show box set at work yesterday. $22 bucks with the discount. can't go wrong. Should be fun.

How are the Jays doing?

Yuck

I was like the one mile worm dash on the way to work this morning....

Facebook

Should I join Facebook? It seems to be the in thing and I am receiving peer pressure!

UPDATE: I caved and joined. It's a little confusing at first but it seems pretty cool.

Ok, let's get this potential shitfest underway.

-The ladies did a pretty decent job.

-Backlund annoys me.

Senshi vs. Austin Star - Referee Bob Backlund.

-Finally after 4 matches someone uses the damn cage. Isn't that the gimmick?

-Senshi wins with a rollup after Backlund shoved Star. Brutal finish to a somewhat bland match.

Blindfold Match: Chris Harris vs. James Storm.

-Holy fuck I'm having Jake Roberts/Rick Martel flashbacks and that's not a good thing.

-I concur with the 'we want wrestling' chant.

-Hood came off. 'Boring' chant. Usually I hate those but I can't hate that one.

-Jesus, who made these hoods?

-One superkick and mercifully its over. Man, that was terrible.

-This ultra-babyface Sting is annoying.

Jerry Lynn vs. Christopher Daniels.

-Daniels wins with the Last Rights. Again decent but nothong overly special.

-Holy fuck, shut up Konnan. What's a 'wilderbeast?'

Electrified Steel Cage - LAX vs. Team 3D.

-Electrify the steel cage! With a firehose!! What's with the blue light??

-The door isn't electrified... Then why use it!?!?

-The electrical hun is lame and annoying.

-Ha ha!!!! The electrified cage! The crowd shit all over it. Way to sell it D Von.....

-Hernandez climbs the cage? Who booked this??

-Fuck, its too bad the cage was so lame because the match wasn't bad.

Lethal Lockdown:Christian Cage/AJ Styles/Scott Steiner/Tomko/Abyss vs. Kurt Angle/Rhino/Sting/Samoa Joe/Jeff Jarrett.

-Steiner pulls out the Frankensteiner and the annoucers sell it like its the return of Jesus.

-The back fell off Jarretts guitar. Tee hee.

-Styles fall off the cage was impressive.

-The match was pretty fun, I have to admit I liked it a lot.

Cool Stuff

I was digging through some old tapes tonight and I found a bunch of stuff I recorded off of MuchMusic back in the mid to late 90's. I'm going to copy it to dvd and post some on 3BTV as soon as possible.

BBB's Notebook: ROH Final Battle 2004

-Trent Acid looks like a homeless guy.

-Punk rules on commentary.

-Deranged smoked Becky Bayless!

-I like John Walters. I know this event is a little dated but he was very good. What's he up to now.... Grizz?

-I didn't like the finish between Walters and Jimmy Rave.

-Corinos extra-long ring entrance is the funny the first time and fucking annoying the second.

-Punk and Corino bring the comedy.

-Danielson vs. Low Ki was awesome. They do a good job of making the Rotweilers look bad-ass.

-I didn't realize this was the show where Austin Aries beat Joe for the title. The match was awesome, the atmosphere was amazing, the crowd was red hot. Wow.

EDIT: You can watch the finish over at 3BTV.

Stuff

-The Flames can tie the series with a win at home tonight. They played well Tuesday and get me back excited about the series again after games 1 and 2 crushed my spirit. 7:30 tonight.

-Sanjaya got the punt on American Idol last night. Can't say I'm happy about it, it made a show that I probably wouldn't really get to attached to a lot of fun. I am now throwing my support behind Jordan Sparks, and I am also now a homo.

-"Thank god you're here" on NBC is a really funny new show. We watched it last night and got quite the chuckle out of it.

-A semi-big story in the wrestling world is the now-off Lawler vs. Hogan match in Memphis. Hogan wanted to prove he could draw without WWE, and WWE told Lawler he couldn't work the show. My opinion, Hogan is wrong. I had a big of a revelation watching disc 1 of the "XWF Lost Tapes." Off the top they had Mean Gene and Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper but it just wasn't the same and I realized that in my opinion, the WWF name combined with those guys is what made that time so special. You can't really have one without the other and have it have that same feel.

-I don't really know what to say about the shootings at Virginia Tech. Sign of the times, nothing really suprises me anymore. The only surprising thing to me is that it doesn't happen every day.

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Picked it up yesterday, can't wait to give it a spin. The cool thing is, they made the disc heat-sensitive so after you play it or rip it on your PC, it changes color. So fucking cool.

BBB's Notebook: Ric Flair and the 4 Horsemen

Another stellar DVD release from WWE. The feature runs around 2 hours and 12 minutes and is packed with heaps of awesome old footage. I particularly enjoyed it because I've read about a lot of the stuff featured in wrestling magazines when I was a kid and now it's cool to see it finally.

The cover everything and have some cool stories.... The really dramatize the Arn/Sid stabbing. Paul Roma is gold and JR's subtle jab at TNA made me giggle. Haven't looked at the extras yet but I know they will be excellent.

A little video preview will be up on 3BTV soon.

Flames have more offensive prowess for post-season

CALGARY (CP) -- One year removed from being upset in the first round, the Calgary Flames enter the 2007 NHL playoffs a much different team.

They have a new head coach in Jim Playfair, they've improved up front with the additions of Alex Tanguay and Craig Conroy, the blue-line has been bolstered by the acquisition of Brad Stuart, and they're brandishing a much more potent offence.

Veteran Calgary centre Stephane Yelle says the Flames are a confident bunch headed into Thursday night's opening game at Joe Louis Arena against the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings.

"We know their style and we know how we need to play against them to be successful as we have been this year,' Yelle said.

Third last in the NHL in goals (218) last year and the only team in the bottom nine to qualify for the playoffs, Calgary scored 40 more goals this year, sixth best in the league. Of the playoff teams in the West, only Nashville (277) was more lethal.

"We do have more firepower this season and we know we can score more but when it comes to playoffs, you have to play solid `D' and that's where we've been inconsistent," Yelle said. "If we can take care of our own end, we'll get our chances and we've got the tools now to score the big goals.'

Another difference is Calgary enters this post-season back in the role of underdog having not clinched the eighth and final playoff spot in the West until the second-last day of the season.

Starting on the road is a familiar scenario. During their improbable Stanley Cup run in 2004, which ended in a Game 7 loss in Tampa Bay, Calgary was the underdog for the entire journey.

That spring, as red Flames jerseys sprung up across the country and The Red Mile forged its way onto the Canadian landscape, many suggested the Flames underdog status was a big part of their charm.

"Personally, I don't think the seeding really matters," Yelle said. "The eight teams that made the playoffs are good teams and any one of those teams could end up winning it.".

Last year, Calgary won the Northwest Division and as the third seed drew the upstart Anaheim Ducks in the opening round. With the glass slipper on the other foot, Calgary was bounced from the playoffs in seven games, a disappointing outcome that reminded fans once again of the playoff futility that has haunted the franchise since hoisting its only Stanley Cup in 1989.

The Flames' series victories in 2004 over Vancouver, Detroit, and San Jose remain the lone three series wins in the last 17 years.

Along with stars Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff, two keys this year could be Conroy and Tanguay.

A central figure two springs earlier as Iginla's centre and one of the team's off-ice leaders, Conroy's upbeat demeanour was noticeably absent last year after he left signing a lucrative free agent deal with the Los Angeles Kings.

Flames general manager Darryl Sutter reacquired the fan favourite Jan. 29 in hopes that the 35-year-old could restore a sense of calm and looseness in the Flames room, deemed a missing ingredient last year.

"He's great in the room, a good leader and you can't have enough of those guys," Daymond Langkow. "He's got lot of experience, especially for this team from its run in 2004. He's good on face-offs, and works well obviously with Iggy and Tangs."

Tanguay, acquired last summer from Colorado in exchange for defenceman Jordan Leopold, has fit in equally well with Iginla rounding out the Flames top line. Much of Calgary's offensive improvement this year can be attributed to Tanguay's 59 assists and 81 points. Tanguay's play-making being something the team had been desperately lacking.

Having never missed the playoffs, Tanguay brings 83 games of post-season experience to the table including 18 goals, 32 assists, and a Stanley Cup ring with the Avalanche in 2001.

The biggest question is which Calgary Flames team will show up. Will it be the winners of six games in a row in a critical stretch at the end of March when their post-season aspirations were hanging in the balance, or will it be the team that limped into the playoffs losers of their last four.
"When we won those six straight, we were playing solid hockey, working hard, we were back to basics," Yelle said. "We got away from that the last three or four games and to be successful in the playoffs, we'll have to get back to it."

This will especially be the case against a hungry Detroit wanting to avoid seeing its post-season end in Alberta for a third season in a row.

Notes : Calgary's biggest concern health-wise is defenceman Robyn Regehr, who missed the final two games of the regular season with a lower body injury. "I'm feeling all right and my plan is to travel with the team to Detroit," Regehr said. He says the injury is not as severe as everyone first thought. His status is day-to-day. Neither Regehr or Jeff Friesen (torso) skated Thursday prior to the team's departure to Detroit....Game 1 goes Thursday at the Joe Louis Arena. Start time is 5 p.m. MT and the game is on CBC and The Fan 960 radio.
