Big Brother could return in late January

Earlier this week came word that CBS could bring Big Brother back early, perhaps in March, due to the strike. Now, word comes that CBS is getting ready to air Big Brother 9 even earlier, in late January or February.

CBS “quietly began casting for the next edition of the show a few weeks ago,” Variety reports. And “[executive] producer Allison Grodner is also said to be working on a new creative twist … There’s been buzz that the next edition of ‘Big Brother’ might actually use celebrities as opposed to civilians. A long strike might work in favor of such a plan, since some celebs normally busy working on sitcoms and dramas might have some time on their hands.”

But Big Brother 9 may even earlier than February. “CBS is quietly ramping up production on a ninth cycle of the reality show to begin airing in late January or early February if the strike persists well into the holidays,” Entertainment Weekly reports. Citing a “reliable source,” the magazine says “executive producer Allison Grodner is already hiring production staff.” If this happens, EW says, “it is unlikely to affect the regular summer run of the show.”

On the Early Show, “Hanna Storm joked that the show might be back sooner than the summer, prompting a roll of the eyes from Chen. Chen then expressed her hope that the strike is settled soon,” Variety reports.

WGA Strike Fallout

From Aintitcool.com:

“The Office” showrunner Greg Daniels is picketing his own Van Nuys set. Cast members – including Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski as well as WGA members Steve Carell, B.J. Novak, Mindy Kaling and Paul Leiberstein – are not crossing the picket line.

Losing its cast shuts down NBC’s highest-rated sitcom a lot faster than a lot of other series, which are trying to put into production the last few scripts written before the strike.

Junk.

Fabulous Moolah passes away

WWE is saddened by the passing of Lillian Ellison, who was known to sports-entertainment fans as Hall of Famer Fabulous Moolah. She passed away last night in Columbia, S.C.

In the world of women’s wrestling, there will always be one irrefutable legend that stands head and shoulders above the rest: The Fabulous Moolah. She was the longest reigning champion in the history of her chosen sport, or any sport for that matter. And with more than 50 years in the business to her credit, she established a legacy that will never be forgotten, making her name synonymous with female wrestling.

WGA Strike

The writers guild have gone on strike..... Those kind folks who write a lot of those TV shows we enjoy are walking the picket line.

From the LA Times:

The writers' strike would take an immediate toll on television viewers' favorite programs, dealing a setback to shows that are written day-to-day -- such as Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" -- as well as scripted programming already underway or about to go into production.
Soap operas would theoretically start disappearing from the airwaves soon, since most have episodes to last them only until the end of the year. But during the 1988 strike, producers wrote in place of striking writers, and soaps stayed on the air.

Prime-time scripted series have episodes through mid-January or early February, depending on how many reruns they space out in the next few months. Unscripted shows -- such as "Survivor," "The Amazing Race," and, when it returns in January, "American Idol" -- would continue uninterrupted.

I am quite sure we will see and onslaught of brutal reality tv shows depending how long this lasts. There is already talk of moving up the next Big Brother to March and have it be a celebrity edition.

One of the most visible effects of the film and TV writers’ strike may involve CBS’ summer reality staple, Big Brother.

The series “could easily return as soon as March,” Variety reports. Every other season of the show has aired in the summer, debuting in July and concluding about three months later.
Even more surprisingly, Big Brother 9 may be “a long-rumored celebrity edition.” Almost two years ago, TMZ incorrectly reported that CBS was announcing a celebrity edition of the show.
Exactly which celebrities would subject themselves to Allison Gordner’s self-serving whims.

Dancing with the Stars can’t draw A-list talent, and it doesn’t have ridiculous challenges or a camera in the bathroom. (Reality Blurred)

Inspiration

I feel inspiration like I haven't in a long time and it has grown to you all.

Don't look for inspiration in typical avenues. It is out your window, in your newspaper or your tv show. In your records or radio. In your sidewalk or dashboard.

It is wherever you wish it was.

It Never Ends....

It's been a fuck of a week, I don't even know where to begin. Last Sunday we got some pretty shitty news, I'd rather not discuss it here, if you wanna know just ask me.

We've dealt with that all week and it has sucked but today was Bradens birthday party which was pretty fun. Lots of friends and food, now he and Jon are playing Star Wars Lego and I am trying to unwind......

Stuff and the Such....

So busy I don't have time to write about the past weekend until the following week is almost over.

Friday was PWA Invasion in Calgary. We headed out with the ring early in the morning and got set up in Ogden and then just hung out until show time.

The show was stellar, as I thought it would be. The Battle Royal was good, Avery and Phoenix were very good and Joe and Styles was amazing. Poffo was interesting but I will keep my opinion to myself.

The ride home was interesting to say the least. What About Ivan was behind the wheel doing 160 in the rain with one hand changing cd's. I don't want to die directly behind Slammer..... And the fucker didn't play one complete song the whole way. It was 20 seconds of every song from about 7 or 8 discs. Bizarre, but he is a good man.

Got in about 2 I think and slept until 10 and then Chantal and I went shopping. I got my quarterly bonus from work the day before so we tried to knock off as much of our Christmas shopping as we could. We did a pretty good job, except for the nasty buffet of doom we had for supper.

Then it was off to PWA Fright Night 2007. It was nice that a lot of folks from work etc came out except for Jessica who apparently ran over some old womans dog on the way, I still need to hear that whole story.

The show was excellent, better then the night before. Casket match kicked ass, everyone in the cage was steller and Joe and AJ lit the place up. After the show it was Dennys time which my stomach disagreed with and then home to bed.

Sunday we decided to do some personal shopping which I always like. Chantal got a really nice necklace that she really loves and I got a 160 GB iPod classic which I am very excited about.

Currently the Flames have come back from a 3-0 deficit to tie Minnesota in the second and I am watching Game 1 of the World Series. The Red Sox look unstoppable.

There was more I wanted to write but as usual I forgot it all....

BBB's Notebook: Rey Mysterio - Biggest Little Man Disc 1

-I forgot he was on the AAA When Worlds Collide show. Every tape trader has that show.....

-Rey and Psicosis's stuff from ECW is good but its been released on so many commercial dvd's over the past few years its a bit overdone.

-I don't think I've ever seen this ECW match with Juvi. I'm disappointed with myself.

-Dean Malenko was so good. Never got the credit he deserved.

-Did WCW lose a load of money on those Hog/Road Wild pay per views? I'm sure no one paid to go to those shows.

-Oh Ultimo, how I love thee.....

-I miss WCW. Its nice having TNA as an option to watch other then WWE, but its not the same.

-Super Calo clap clap clapclapclap! (Amazing finish to that match.)

"Kid" Nation

The Rise and Fall and Rise and Fall of ECW

Follow the bouncing ball....

- WWE.com is running a story, which can be read here, where they explain that ECW GM Armando Estrada and acting Smackdown GM Vicky Guerrero are having negotiations which would lead to talent from Smackdown appearing on ECW and talent from ECW appearing on Smackdown. Smackdown and ECW already run joint house shows.

- The reason for this is that Sci-Fi is not committed to continuing to air the ECW show. In the best-case scenario they hope to make ECW more appealing to Sci-Fi so that they do pick the show up at the end of 2007. But if not, WWE is preparing themselves in case they lose the one hour on Sci-Fi and have to run the ECW brand as part of Smackdown. [Credit: F4wonline.com]

-As reported earlier, WWE has decided to start having ECW and Smackdown talent appear on both ECW and Smackdown starting soon. With ECW ratings dropping, WWE is hoping that having Smackdown talent appear on the show, as well as having ECW guys get more exposure on Smackdown, will improve ratings. The thinking is that talent is being wasted since both brands are at the TV taping anyway. There is some concern about the future of ECW. Credit: WrestlingObserver.com

-WWE has announced that all future episodes of ECW on Sci-Fi will now stream for free on WWE.com. This is obviously a sign that WWE is preparing for the possibility of losing the ECW timeslot on Sci-Fi Network. This, coupled with the decision to have Smackdown and ECW talent now appear on both shows, has many concerned about the future of the ECW brand.

Interestingly enough, Shane McMahon (who pushed heavily to bring ECW back in the first place) originally wanted the show to stream online. The network deal with Sci-Fi didn't enter the picture until Vince McMahon got behind the idea of bringing ECW back. Credit: PWInsider.com

Well, it's a slow and painful death (again) for ECW. Stay tuned....

Damn

I caught the end of the Flames game last night and I'm very glad I didn't watch the whole thing.

They coughed up a 4-0 lead and lost in a shoot-out. As soon as overtime ended I knew we would lose. Kipper, as much as I love him, is weak 1 on 1. Its quite a liability as far as I'm concerned but I guess time will tell how much of a factor that will be. Anyway, it was junk.

Yo

For anyone who's interested, Indigo! Has the Rise and Fall of ECW book for $7.

Chantal picked me up the Bischoff book which was awesome. Looking forward to digging in to it.

It's Early

I just got in from my night shift in time to hear Richard smell Sal's foreskin..... God bless Sirius.

Markys birthday was fun..... Stamps won a thriller this afternoon..... Flames have strung together a couple of wins..... H.I.M. Is sold out but I'm hoping to swindle my way in..... Rockies continue to cruise on their way to the Series...... Ummm.... I think that's it..... Oh yeah, shitpipe.

nice package with three discs. Good quality vinyl, blah blah blah - really it's just cool. The package is a six-panel gatefold vinyl jacket to match Year Zero along with an insert.track listing for this configuration:Side 11. gunshots by computer: saul williams2. the great destroyer: modwheelmood3. my violent heart: pirate robot midget4. the beginning of the end: ladytron5. capital g: epworth phonesSide 21. the warning: stefan goodchild featuring doudou n’diaye rose2. meet your master: the faint3. god given: stephen morris & gillian gilbert4. vessel [mix 1]: bill laswellSide 31. capital g: switch2. me, I’m not: olof dreijerSide 41. the good soldier: sam fog2. vessel [mix 2]: bill laswellSide 51. capital g: ladytron2. another version of the truth: kronos & enrique gonzalez müller3. in this twilight: fennesz4. zero sum: stephen morris & gillian gilbert(no Side 6)

PHYSICAL CD / DVD ROMThis costs a bit more than "regular" and contains a CD that has exactly the same track listing as it's DIGITAL DOWNLOAD counterpart (see above). The package is a six-panel digipak to match Year Zero along with an insert. It also contains a DVD ROM (not a movie) that contains every track from Year Zero in multitrack format for you to do with what you please. Mac or PC.We've included:Pre-formatted for Apple GarageBandPre-formatted for Ableton Live (Mac or PC)Demo version of Ableton Live (Mac or PC)Generic WAVE files at 16 bit 44K that can be loaded into any audio editorI can make this easy for you: if you just want to hear the tracks as cheaply as possible, get it digitally. The highest fidelity will likely be Amazon (through legal means).If you want something that's aesthetically cool and will enhance any collection, get the vinyl. Trust me, it looks great. The extra tracks are fairly minor embellishments to the whole (and surely someone will upload them instantly).If you want higher quality tracks legally, a nice package AND a complete multitrack of the whole record, get the physical CD / DVD ROM.**insert comment from NINSUX: "I thought he said all the multitracks were going to be posted online, now he wants us to PAY for them??"Relax, friend. One second after this package goes to the manufacturing plant someone will kindly upload those missing multitracks and everything will be OK. If they don't soon enough for your liking, just yell loudly out the window and I'll do it myself.As for the record itself, I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. Remix records can be disposable garbage (of which I myself have been guilty of to some extent) but this collection feels good to me. I reached out to heroes, friends and strangers. I encouraged those I approached to do anything and insert themselves as much as possible into the track. Some of the stuff that was done earlier led me to choosing other people to balance things out. The Pirate Robot Midget mix is a fan's work - I thought it was great, it filled a need and I asked permission to use it here.It's always interesting for me to hear my work reinterpreted - I hope it is for you as well.Upon the release of this, we will be launching the first portion of the new nin.com atremix.nin.comWe have been working on this quite a while now and I think you'll like it. It will begin as a home for listening to, sorting through, discussing and uploading remixes the community has made. Hopefully it will be as elegant, useful and fun to use as we envision.

Quote of the Day

"My finger smells like ass, and I didn't even put it in there." - Chantal.

Blah Blah Blah New Stuff

Where to start.... The trip to Calgary was fun. I met some relatives from Germany, we had some great food and I had a blast at the game. The overtime loss with 4 seconds was a bit of a heartbreaker but I still had a blast..... and I got a new hat!

Over the past few weeks Chantal and I have watched all 3 seasons of Degrassi Junior High in preparation of the release of Degrassi High today.... I can't wait to dig in to that one.

The Yankees bit it last night and I couldn't be happier. I wanted to say more but as ususal, my mind goes blank whenever I sit in front of the computer.

Shit!!

So the excercise in frustration that is the 2007-2008 Calgary Flames hockey season has begun. A loss to the Flyers isn't how I wanted things to start. Here's to a win Saturday vs. The Canuck-Fucks.

And speaking of that game, we are going to be in Calgary this weekend for Thanksgiving and a ticket fell in my lap thanks to my brother in law. It's gonna be fucking sweet.

Its a pretty fun time to be a sports fan, baseball playoffs are in full swing, hockey has started, the CFL is in the stretch drive. So much to watch and so little time.

I'm excited for that and for other things, wanna know? Ask me.

Gotta Have it...

This came out today, got my copy on hold at work. Quite excited........

Blitzkrieg through almost 4_ of live Ramones on Rhino's new 2-DVD set that unleashes a marathon line-up of rare, historic and previously unreleased concert footage with featured selections in 5.1 Surround Sound. Spanning over two decades of shows and more than four years in the making, IT'S ALIVE 1974-1996 was produced with music supervision from Ramone's drummer Tommy Ramone. From the band's earliest club gigs in lower Manhattan to international festivals in front of hundreds of thousands of fans, this is your VIP ticket to the loudest show on earth.

The DVD compilation rockets through performances from around the world, opening Disc One with seminal early shows from legendary clubs CBGB and Max's Kansas City in the band's hometown, New York City. The disc closes with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the concert the collection was named for, IT'S ALIVE, filmed in the U.K. at London's Rainbow Theatre on December 31, 1977 - what more festive way to bop into the new year than with Joey, Johnny, Dee Dee, Tommy, Marky, Richie, and C-Jay Ramone?

In between is '70s-era footage from an assortment of Ramones dates in Ann Arbor, MI, Austin TX, Chicago, IL, Cambridge, MA and other locales. Also featured is a 1977 performance for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert filmed in Los Angeles.

Disc Two kicks off with a 1978 full set from Musikladen - Bremen, Germany and spotlights other international dates in Argentina, Finland, Italy Spain and Sweden. Also featured are U.K. television performances including several tapings for the BBC2's acclaimed live music show The Old Grey Whistle Test as well as Top Of The Pops appearances from 1980 and 1995.
Disc Two's Stateside dates include shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco, as well as a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of their previously unreleased set at the US Festival in San Bernardino, CA in 1982. The set closes out IT'S ALIVE 1974-1996 with the Ramones' last-ever international performance, captured in Buenos Aires, Argentina as they bid Adiós with “I Wanna Be Sedated,” “R.A.M.O.N.E.S.” and “Blitzkrieg Bop.”

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, the Ramones rank #26 on Rolling Stone Magazine's list “The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists Of All Time” (right in between Fats Domino and Nirvana). The world's first punk rock band, they formed in NYC in 1974 and were already on their third LP when the Sex Pistols spit out their first. Outlasting all who followed, The Ramones relentlessly delivered their signature (and catchy) chainsaw-level sound for over twenty years via a string of now-classic punk LPs and a phenomenal 2,263 concerts.
The Ramones are no more - Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee all passed away within eight years of the group's '96 breakup - but their sound and influence and indestructible. Don't wanna grow up yet? - put it off for 262 minutes with IT'S ALIVE 1974 - 1996! [Color +- 262 minutes]

BBB's Notebook: ECW 09/11/07

-I gotta tell ya, that belt looks good on Punk.

-T shirt plug.... Ugh.

-Wow, the transition from shirt to Burke was brutal.

-Its all in Kelly Kellys eyes, she loves Balls....

-The slo-mo of Big Daddy V pounding his man-boobs was unnecessary.

-That Balls Mahoney is a smooth motherfucker.

-Poor Guido. Bad to worse.

-Holy shit Mike Knox is BACK!!!

-Stevie and Punk? Its the fuckin' dream team!!

BBB's Notebook: ECW 09/04/07

-Now that the PVR is working, I gotta start recording these shows. The torrents look shitty on dvd.

-The Boogeyman and Big Daddy V. I see 5 stars all over this feud.

-Estrada.... Oh yeah, I forgot.

-I feel the obstacles blocking Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kellys love, may never be overcome...

-Blink 182 groupie... Mildly funny.

-Burke and Thorn vs. Dreamer and Stevie was decent.

-Punk wins the belt. Match was good, finish was hot. Crowd dug it as did I.

Sunday

It was with a heavy heart I watched the Jays lose today. Their season is now over, 4 games above 500. It wasn't supposed to end like this but they finished pretty strong and I'm already looking forward to next year. However, playoffs start right away and there is nothing like playoff baseball. (I can't believe the Mets choked, can't wait to hear Artie and Gary go at it tommorow....

Apparently ECW will be getting a new injection of talent soon. I haven't seen a show since Punk won the belt, I have to burn them and check it out. Are they any good...? Grizz?

PWA was a lot of fun last night, matches were good and the crowd had fun. Look for the dvd.....

Thursday!! Flames!! Thursday!!

Full count is tonight, it's gonna be a long fuckin' night.

October 19 2007

Things That Must Be Said

-The Office sucked last night. Almost shark jumping-worthy. If the new romantic storyline is going to ne Dwight and Angela then they are in trouble. And Michael Scott may be turning dangerously unlikeable.

-Silversun Pickups are coming and the only way to get tickets is through Sonic. Bullshit.

-Beer in the afternoon is good.

-New Hart Foundation on Smackdown is good.

-Joe and AJ in PWA is good.

-Other stuff was to be written but I forgot it all in the time it took me to walk down the stairs. Fuck.

TNA

I'm watching TNA Impact from last week, haven't watched an episode in a while. Where the fuck did Rikishi, Goldust, Matt Morgan and the WSX champ come from? Shit.....

My PVR is now up and running (Thanks Richard!) So I can start recording stuff and get caught up on this crap.

Quote of the Day

"There are soooo many lesbians here that I almost feel bad lookling at them..." - Shigs, in a pin from the Tegan and Sarah show.

Phew....

Back from the Halo launch, it went very very well. I can't really go into sales numbers but it was "great success."

I'm pretty proud of myself, I think I kept it together and was a pretty good leader tonight.

My goal for tommorow: burn some of the shit on my computer and try and catch up on some wrestling. And finish Season 3 of The Office.

I'm fucking hungry.

Pictures & Shit

I realized I never posted any pictures from our vacation or the Karaoke Birthday Extravaganza or any of that shit, so here is some.....

The view atop Mt. Norquay was amazing.

Foothills Stadium, Vipers won, I had such a good time at the game.

This was at Karaoke, although you can't tell as someone is.... substantially blocking the view...

Phil and I rocked some Proclaimers, although I wentback and listened to it, I suck.

Our birthday cake courtesy of M. W-S. Half of it was awesome.

Someone couldn't quite handle the Ocean Motion despite proclaiming herself a thrill-seeker.
The main street in Banff was rippied up for contruction which bummed me out.
But it didn't stop me from enjoying a frosty beverage.
After all, discovering Alberta made me thirsty....
I did however have help, she is a sturdy rower.....

Monday

Tyler fixed the port forwarding on the desktop and the notebook and now the torrent are humming along quite nicely. I'm very happy.

I am so behind in my wrestling again, it sucks. I have 3 (and soon to be 4) weeks of ECW tv, an episode of Dragon Gate infinity, the new ROH ppv and much more. Not to mention the throngs of tapes I have in the closet in the office.

Don't have to work until 8 tonight due to the stupid fucking midnight Halo launch.... It's cool though because the Jays have a day game at Yankee Stadium that just started.

Talked to Woody and Peter the other day and got some bad news. Paul, who played guitar in the last band that I was in here in Edmonton, passed away. If I remember correctly, he had a lot of issues with cancer many years ago including having a tumor removed from his head. He was an amazing guitar player. If I can find the cd I will upload a song or 2 so you can hear him play.

I'm done with pre-season bullshit, drop the puck already! And how could the Stamps lose to fucking Hamilton?? Bullshit.

If anything funny or interesting happens dureing this lame Halo bullshit, I will post it with the Blackberry. And speaking of blackberrys, Chantal had to get one for her new job which I find funny as hell.

Friday

So Dick won Big Brother.... I had a feeling Danielle wouldn't have the cakewalk that everyone figured.

The Oilers white jerseys look like practice jerseys... Did I say that already?

We have the kids this weekend which is always awesome.

New cd's:




The problem is, when I get a new cd it gets thrown on the ipod and I always shuffle songs on the ipod so I never really listen all the way through. Sometimes I miss the old discman days.

Saved By The Bell: Wedding in Vegas is on TBS right now, not a bad way to kill a couple of hours before work.

All out Halo 3 shit is arriving, I've never done a midnight launch before so I am a little nervous about it but I think it will be fun. Nerve racking but fun.

WWE released The Sandman, leaving Tommy as the only 'ECW Original' left from the failed experiment..... Oh yeah, I guess Balls is still there too. I'm 3 weeks behind. I just don't have the time to keep up on it all, stupid life.

Chris Crocker, best known for his YouTube plea to “leave Britney alone”, has signed with 44 Blue Productions. So far, the video has been watched by 8.3 million people, although he “had developed a large Net audience via numerous video performances posted on MySpace.com,” Variety reports. The company’s president, Rasha Drachkovitch, told the paper that “Chris first got on our radar a year ago. It’s going to pretty much be the ‘Chris Crocker experience.’ We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He’s going to be a TV star.”

Are you fucking serious? Everything that is wrong with the world today.

Stamps are on a roll with 3 big wins.... Jays are just playing out the string and the Flames have looked less then impressive so far in the pre-season. Beer me strength.

More Stuff

I may have hastily judged Xbox live a little. I played hockey with my brother yesterday afternoon and it was totally fun. I think because Shigs is queer and runs his Xbox wireslessly is why we had so much trouble the last time.

We were victorious at trivia last night, and I was introduced to the Dick Chicken, and now I am a better man.

Apparently The White Stripes have cancelled their remaining tour because Meg White is suffering from anxiety. Maybe she realized that she is useless and her band sucks.

The journey that is Big Brother ends tonight. I have a sinking feeling in my gut that Dick is going to win, but I'm probably nuts.

I'm fucking sick of Halo 3 and its not even the 25th yet.

"I think he tried too hard..." - Drew on Terry Fox.

New Oiler Uni's

Not sure how I feel about them, I think I need to see them in game action. Flames ones are much nicer but the Alberta flag would look nicer on these.

Stuff with extra Stuff...

Well, so far Xbox live really sucks. I'm not sure if it was the connection I had with Shigs but the gameplay is choppy and the earpiece is useless because it cuts in and out constantly.

However, NHL 08 is pretty sweet. The graphics are phenominal and thanks to 'classic controller' I can play it and not want to shoot myself.

Had some folks over last night for no particular reason, they had quite the time playing with the kids old wrestlers. (Video to come hopefully.)

It annoys me that all these cool gadgets we have that are supposed to be so amazing, and none of them work. Our wireless internet is really cool, but very unreliable and is hurting my torrent business (not that I condone anything illegal like uploading torrents...)

Anyway.... Jays are tied with Baltimore in the top of the 11th, may go to Dustins to watch the ppv tonight but I am so out of the loop not sure if I'll get anything out of it.

"That's dick. You know what, fuck you Wii." - Drew.

Update

No idea if I can remember all this.....

My folks came out for the weekend for our birthdays, it was pretty good. Saturday we went to the Whyte Avenue farmers market and walked around Whyte Ave for a while. I picked up Attack in Black at Megatunes, I miss shopping at indy record stores.

Saturday night we had a little birthday shindig, thanks to everyone that came out. We had a blast. Sunday the folks headed out, and we went to Chantals friends daughters birthday party. I was a little claustrophobic but we had a good time.

Last night we hit up trivia for the first time in a while, lost by 2 and a half points but we had fun as usual.

Hornswoggle is Vince's son? Nice fucking payoff.....

Jays fucked it against Tampa, Dolphins are 0-1 but the Stamps took both from the Eskies.

-Balls gets the win over Burke in a decent match.

-Mic time for Thorn? Not much but it was there.

-Punk and Vince's small tete et tete was interesting.

-I didn't really watch the main event because I am distracted by shiny things, but I assume it was crap.

BBB's Notebook: ECW 08/14/07

-Fuck, I can't remember if I watched this episode already....

-Chantal used to like Viscera in the huge jammies, but hates Big Daddy V.

-Is the the Big Daddy V show? First Punk and now Tommy.

-If this were a just world, Balls would hand Mizanin his fucking spleen.

-Dammit Stevie!! Snap out of it.

-Hahahah!! Fuck you Thorn!! Reverse decision, Stevie wins!!! I'm drunk....

-Cant get enough main event dq's...... Bring on the worms.

Stuff

A word of advice. Don't go to a store at ten to nine and buy a big tv. That means the staff has to keep the fucking store open until 9:30 when all they want to do ia go home to their families and stupid dogs.

Now, some news:

-AP: ATLANTA — A doctor who examined brain matter from former pro wrestler Chris Benoit is saying the wrestler had brain damage from multiple concussions that was consistent with what's seen in Alzheimer's patients.Dr. Julian Bailes told ABC's Good Morning America that the "striking and maybe shocking" damage may have been a leading cause for Benoit killing his wife, children and himself at their Atlanta-area home in June.Bailes showed the show's hosts images of a healthy brain and of part of Benoit's brain — which had large brown spots he said were dead brain cells and their connecting tissue. He said such damage is not caused by steroid use.

Yes, but steroid stories sell papers and apparently get people elected.

-Andrew "Test" Martin is done with TNA. The word from backstage is that he was not fitting in well backstage and was pretty much sent home following the Hard Justice PPV. He never signed a contract and it doesn't appear as if he will be back. Credit: PWInsider.com

Test was in TNA?

-Wade Keller is reporting that Ric Flair quit WWE this week due to being frustrated with his push and the lack of encouraging communication from management. Both sides are apparently already trying to work things out.

Flair's decision to quit doesn't appear to have anything to do with the recent suspensions.

TNA is said to be aware of Flair's decision to quit WWE and is interested in possibly trying to get him to come in for the launch of the two hour Impact in October. Credit: PWTorch.com

Interesting and not wise IMO considering his supposed financial situation. I don't see him going anywhere.

New Flames Uniforms

The Flames unveiled their new jerseys this afternoon:
They're not bad other then the terrible out of place Alberta flag on the shoulder. You can do a 'tour' here.

Dogs really chase their own tails? I thought that was made up on TV. Holy fuck what a moron....

Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!

-I'm going to go on a little rant here for a second about video games. I remember a few years ago when playing NHL hockey, there was a button for shoot, one for pass, and one for body checking.

I downloaded the demo for NHL '08 and to shoot you need to use the right thumb-stick and all this other bullshit and its annoying.

A bunch of my co-workers want me to play Rainbow Six online with them but after playing it for a few minutes at my brothers, there is no way I can keep up. I'm not built for shit lilke that.

When did games get so involved and technical? X Box Live is cool but I'm having issues figuring out how the fuck to do anything. Anyway.....

-I am having a brutal day at work so far. 500 people have come to me looking for a specific cd or dvd and we don't have any of it. Sent more people to HMV then I've sold stuff to.

-Tuesday the Flames unveil their new jerseys, wonder what they will look like. Word is that the horse won't be on the shoulder anymore. That horse was certainly a failed experiment. I didn't like it at first but it gre on me after a while.

-WWE is in some serious turmoil right now. I wonder the long-term effects of what is happening now on our business. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go, read.

The Latest and Greatest

We got the wireless network set up yesterday so as I type this I am sitting on the couch with the notebook in front of the TV. Could I be any more lazy and lame.

The kids are in bed with minimal freaking out that both of their moms are not around..... And now I am debating what to do..... Try and play some more (mega-confusing) X-Box Live, watch some Kissology volume 2, some wrestling, maybe some Dawson (yeah, that's right fuckers)... Who knows, the world is my proverbial oyster.

So, we have a dog..... A Jack Russel Terrier named Sadie (Who the fuck is Jack Russel anyway?) It's a harmless enough dog other then the boundless energy and the fact that it thinks I am a toilet. It will get better......

1. Mongolie Grill kicks fuckin' ass.

2. Howards on vacation.... AGAIN!

3. I will have pictures and some videos from vacation and Karaoke and PWA soon. Here or Facebook.... Or both..... Whatever....

A Weeks Worth of Stuff...

Oh, here we go....

The holiday was awesome. To attempt to sum it up, night 1 we hung out with my brother and I played Guitar Hero for the first time, its a pretty sweet game. However, I suck at Rainbow Six Vegas. Next night we got together with Tiny and Lisa and sawe their new house (which is sweet. That is also the night I discovered Jimmi got married and didn't even tell me, nevermind invite me. Someone tell him he's a jerk..... :-)

Saw my sister and the kids, Logan is cute as hell and very smiley all of a sudden.

Next day we decided to be really crazy and go to Calaway Park. For those around here that don't know, Calaway Park is a dumpy little amusement park North(?) Of Calgary. We rode a few rides and Chantal swallowed her own vomit on the Ocean Motion 3 times which was worth the pride of admission.

Next day we hit Banff which was a bit of a downer because they are re-doing the main street so it was ripped up and blocked off. But we still had an awesome time. We took a carriage ride and Chantal bought some Raspberry Cordial (whatever the fuck that is) and some candy at Welchs.

Next was the hi-lite for me, a Calgary Vipers baseball game. Seats nice and close, awesome game. Good times.

We headed back home Thursday morning and chilled until Karaoke Friday night which was a blast despite the fact that I am a fucking retard.

Saturday was PWA, where I came up on the short end of the stick again. It was a really solid show and everyone kicked ass. I was really proud to be even the smallest part of the roster, everyone rocked it out.

Sunday was SummerSlam and it was a lot better then I expected to be. The finish of Punk/Morrison was weak but other then that nothing stuck out that was super stink-worthy. I was intrigued by my peers apparent hate of CM Punk, but their opinion is always welcome.

Picked up my router and shit for our wireless network, X Box live looks pretty sweet and internet on the notebooks around the house is even sweeter.

I am becoming a regular contributer on xtremewrestlingtorrents.net. Join if you can so you can (as Dustin would say) get access to my collection without the annoying VHS tapes.

There was more but I can't remember and I have to be up at 4 so good fucking night!

Return of the living...

I haven't forgotten about the blog, just getting back into the swing of life. Today was the first day back to work, ugh.

I have a lot to write about the holiday, PWA, Summerslam etc. One day I will have time.

Mysteries of the World...

Why does it take me over an hour to get home from work on the bus but only 25 minutes to get there?

Anyway, last night we played some more Star Wars Lego before Big Brother came on. As for BB, it amazed me how that blonde chick (her name escapes me, Melanie, Melissa?) Had her imagination run away with her on one sentence from Jen of all people. Now I understand editing plays a pretty big part in what we see but still, it was a little rapid.

Eric was in a tough spot with this whole silent treatment thing which lasted all of about 12 seconds but that only increased (blonde chicks name here)'s paranoia. I wonder if there will be a shift and Dick wil stay and Dustin will go. Seems like being nominated is the safest position to be in lately.

Quote of the Day 2

"I'm in the bathroom and I have poop on my leg!' - Jonny.

Today sucks

Work was a disaster, messy as fuck and things were not done the way I had done them initially.

My regular bus didn't come so I ended up on the fucking tour bus to the mall, and the dvd I ripped for XWT is all fucked up. I think it my have been because it was copy protected but I have no idea.

And the damn PVR still isn't working, I'm losing my patience big time.

Work.....

Countdown to vacation: 4 days. Place looks like a bomb went off..... Oh well, as the bird on the Flintstones always said, it's a living.

Kissology volume 2 comes out today, looks too awesome. Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park is on it, but the name is changed to Kiss verses The Phantoms. Legal issues? I wonder why the name change.

The Sheik

I just finished watching the Iron Sheik on Howard TV and it was totally worth the wait. He is entertaining as fuck and it was awesome the way they got him all riled up.

I didn't realize how big Artie has gotten, he really is a fat fuck.....

BBB's Notebook: ECW 08/07/07

-The jobber that the Boogeyman beat looked a lot like Bobby Roode.

-Striker yelling "more daddy more" is humorously creepy....

-This is the end? No one will remember your name? Yeesh, someone kill me.

-Balls jobbing to the Miz 2 weeks in a row makes Boris sad.

-It appears Kelly has a soft spot for Mr. Mahoney and frankly, who wouldn't!

-The Raw rebound makes me sorry I missed Raw. And sadly there was not one snippet of in-ring action during the segment.

-Morrisons entrance music doesn't suit his Doors gimmick at all.

-Worst. Hip swivel. Ever.

-Punk and Morrison had moments of goodness and moments of total shit.

BBB's Notebook: ECW 07/31/07

-Holy fuck, John Morrison. I can't take it. He can't pull this off. Not even the smallest bit believable. I believe the Boogeyman more then this shit.

-Ok dude, we got it. Don't explain the whole 15 minute thing again. Fuck.

-A 12 minute opening promo on a 1 hour show is a little much....

-Is Stevie getting a push? Is my wildest dream coming true?.... No, I doubt it. But it will be fun while it lasts.

-Its kinda fun watching Big Daddy V squash multiple jobbers.

-Is Boogeyman looking a little less jacked or is it just me?

-Balls vs. The Miz blew.

-The Dreamer vingette with all the old clips made me sad. Oh how I long for the old days....

-I like Burke more and more every time I see him.

-Punk, Burke and Dreamer was quite good.

sunday Sunday SUNDAY!!

We just got back from dropping Braden off, we had a pretty good weekend.

One of the hilites was playing some 360 with Chantal. She is hooked on Star Wars Lego but her Need for Speed skills could use a little work. She drives like Stevie Wonder.

We had our pictures done at Wal Mart this afternoon, the dude that took them was quite a piece of work. He kept whipping the kids into a frenzy when we were trying to calm them down.

Thursday

Rush Hour 3 sucked. I really wanted to like it too but the plot was transparent and there was a lot of cheese. Hanging with Shigs however, is always a good time.

Got a bunch of new tapes that I'm pretty excited about. A bunch of World Class, some old NWA including Crockett Cups, and stuff like that.

I'm attempting to start contributing at XWT in whatever way I can, stay tuned.

Can't seem to get the PVR to jive with the digital cable box so some rearranging is in order.

Braden is coming tommorow, can't wait for him to see the new place.

BBB's Notebook: ECW 07/24/07

-Ok, I don't get this whole John Morrison deal.... The first week he talked fairly normally and the next he's yapping about 'eternal darkness.' Is he supposed to like a Jim Morrison type of deal or what?

-The 15 minutes of fame clock... Lol so lame I like it.

-He needs to decide what he's gonna do with that belt, are you gonna carry it over the shoulder or hold it. Decide!!

-Hubristic? What the fuck does that mean?

-HHH returns at Summerslam.... Yay. I don't even know how Raw is these days, I don't watch the damn show. Grizz?

-YEAH STEVIE!!! Take that motherfuckers!!!!

-Nunzio.... It's Little Guido dammit!!

-As much as he is a piece of shit, Mizanins knee lift-neckbreaker finish is good.

-Big Vis has man-tits of Abby-like proportions.

-Awesome squash by Big Daddy V.

-Fuck, Tommy took a LOT of heat before the hot tag. Punk looked like a hero and Dreamer looked like a bag of shit.

Monday

We got the TNA Lockdown ppv DVD in at work today, it's a WHOLE PAY PER VIEW of CAGE MATCHES!!!!111oneoneone11 (that's for you Dustin.)

Cracked open the X Box last night and fired it up and its prety fuckin' cool. Baseball looks amazing as does Raw vs. Smackdown but its really damn hard! And if anyone knows how to unlock the ECW One Night Stand Arena, please let me know.

My So-Called Life

The move went pretty well. It was long and sickeningly hot but we got it done. Huge props out to Benny, Greg, Drew, Aaron and Dustin. That crew busted their asses for us. Also big-ups to my wallet for the hit it took in feeding those motherfuckers..... (Its all good guys.)

We are now in the process of unpacking and trying to figure out our lives. Thanks to Werkman-Swoboda for coming out last night and helping with the kitchen. The whole place is really starting to take shape.

Its a little weird taking the bus to work again but I'm sure I will settle back into the routine quite easily.

While plowing through cd's at work the other day I came across a couple that piqued my interest.....

The first was the Juliana Hatfield collection 1992-2002. I haven't heard or thought about her since the record that had the buffalo on the cover (the name escapes me) but those songs take me back many years and make me feel warm and fuzzy. Not to mention the fact that she is very good and never got the credit that a lot of female artists of her ilk did.

The second was the Jimmy Chamberlin Complex. I had no idea Jimmy put together a band during the Pumpkins hiatus and the Zwan debacle. Picked it up and am interested as to what it sounds like. God bless the ipod.

Chantal gave me an Xbox 360 as an early birthday present, I am extremely excited. A ton of people are up my ass to get my online set up, its gonna take some time guy, relax. After a bit of shopping and what Chantal gave me I have Forza 2, Need for Speed Carbon, Burnout 3, MLB '06 and Raw vs. Smackdown 2007. I may have to crumble and join the Halo craze next month.

Picked up the Hardcore Diaries on a whim today, I've heard its quite good.

I have other stuff to write but can't think of it right now..... Fuck.

Quote of the Day

"It better be black forest or I will have to slap a bitch." - Drew, upon wondering what kind of sandwich he had for lunch.

Myspace

Apparently there are something like 29 000 sex offenders on myspace. I wonder if I could make some money launching sexoffenderspace.com.....

Packing

Packing is going well, we got a lot done last night and this morning I have been taking buckets of shit to the garbage.

I feel a little weird throwing oit some stuff I've had for a long time such as my Def Leppard 'Historia' VHS video. My dad gave it to me for my birthday like it was like 10. I know I will probably never watch it again but it was weird to toss it. But its all good, the start of a new era.

Artie gave out his phone number this morning but by time I called it was totally jammed. Too funny, would have been sweet if I got through.

Apparently the Weekly World News tabloid is ceasing production. I used to pick one up every now and then because it was great for laughs. Always makes me think of Sandi when I see one, she used to love it.

I think the Jays are finally at 500. 9 games back in the wild card race, is there even a remote possibility they can make a run?

Stuff

You can see 2 shitty videos I made from the Sloan show over on the video blog.

Zodiac came out on dvd today, I can't believe I still haven't seen it. I was very annoyed at work today when I ended up getting half my new release cd's half way through the damn day. I was pleasantly surprised when I was doing the feature wall and found out that Zeitgeist is #1 in Canada.

Apparently the whole Jackass thing is off for Summerslam, not sure why but I am definitly not surprised.

Apparently Court Bauer gave his notice and left WWE. When the fuck was Court Bauer hired by WWE in the first place.....

Packing is continuing for themove on Saturday. It's gonna be tight but we will be ok. Looking forward to camping in a couple of weeks as well.

fuck my neighbors kid is loud and annoying, only a few more days.....

I may join rateyourmusic.com.... It's similar to dvdafficionado.com but with music.... It would take me forever to catalogue all my shit tho.... Speaking of music, with the gift card I won at work I picked up an awesome guilty pleasure... Kiss Alive 1 through 4 remastered in a box set, ripped it for my ipod along with the new Silverchair which I am intrigued about as their last record was tremendous.

I wanted to write more, to bitch about has been wrestlers turning their backs on the business that made their living just to get their fucking asses back on TV, but I'm tired and that willt ake too much effort. Man, I'm backed up on stuff I need to watch and burn off the PC. God I will be happy when this move is over and we can settle in.

The Weekend

This weekend was chock full o' goodness....

Friday we went to Taste of Edmonton. I'm still not sure what to think about ToE. It's called a 'festival' but it's just a street with a bunch of kiosks from restaurants and a beer garden with a stage. It's really quite an odd little happening but it's pretty cool and we had a good time and some tasty chow.

Saturday we went to the Grand Prix in the morning. It's quite the happening, I've never really been to anything like it. The cars were load and fast and it was pretty cool. I liked it a lot more then I thought I would.

Saturday night we went to the Ex to see Sloan, I had a great time and Chantal was a trooper :-) It was a sweet show as usual.

Sunday I was feeling quite run down so I just chilled and watched Baseball and relaxed. Now we need to pack our asses off as Phoebe would say.

Stuff

-Holy Fuck, I just saw Tammy Faye on Larry King. The last time I saw her on TV was the Surreal Life, apparently now she is very ill with cancer and looks like the Crypt-Keeper.

-Michael Vick was indicted for dog fighting, including electrocuting, hanging and beating dogs to death. What a piece of shit, but I'm sure he'll get off and be in the starting lineup for the Falcons this fall.

-John Kronus died. That sucks, he was a big guy that could pull off cruierweight spots. Liked his stuff with Saturn back in the old days of ECW.

More of the same....

Packed all my wrestling tapes and dvd's last night, only 9 big boxes.... No big deal.... :-)

We watched Sunday and Tuesdays episode of Big Brother last night and it's starting to get interesting. Jen needs to seriously die, it has to be an act because nobody can be that obnoxious and stupid. The 'drinking game' that the guys came up with made me laugh like hell. I'm really starting to like Evil Dick especially the way he ripped into Jen more then once. Unfortunatly tommorow will suck because 1 of the most dominant personalities will be gone.

While Joe is annoying in his over-the-top uber gay way, he is entertaining as is Dick. One will be going home....

The Jays totally fucked it last night against the Yankees...

The Latest in News and Entertainment

It's hot... It sucks... I'm fat... I'm going to die.

Packing sucks but it needs to be done. I just want this move to be over so we can get on with our lives.

The Vegas trip has become a Toronto trip which is cool with me for many reasons.... Chantal can see her family, and I can see...

I am ultra excited, I hear you can get tours of the Rogers Center as well.... Hockey Hall of Fame, Muchmusic maybe, this could be very cool.

Going to watch Sunday's Big Brother tonight before the new one... I'm sure Jen will do something stupid, actually looking forward to it.

The AP on Benoits toxicology report is in...

The Associated Press - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday that steroids and other drugs were found in the body of pro wrestler Chris Benoit, and prescription drugs were also found in the bodies of his wife and son.

Also found in Benoit were the drugs Xanax and hydrocodone, according to a statement from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The GBI said Benoit was negative for blood alcohol.The statement said Nancy Benoit had Xanax, hydrocodone and hydromporphone in her body.

The son, Daniel Benoit had Xanax in his system, the statement said. The GBI said it could not perform tests for steroids or human growth hormones on the son because of lack of adequate amount of urine.Xanax is an anti-anxiety drug. Hydrocodone is a painkiller.The statement was released just before an afternoon news conference.

The test results were expected to shed more light on Benoit's last moments. Authorities said Benoit killed his wife and 7-year-old son in their metro Atlanta home last month, placed Bibles next to their bodies and then hanged himself on the cable of a weight machine.

Anabolic steroids were found in the Benoits' gated home, leading officials to wonder if the drugs played a role in the killings. Some experts believe steroids can cause paranoia, depression and violent outbursts known as "roid rage."Toxicology tests were conducted on Benoit's body to determine if steroids or other drugs were present. Blood-alcohol tests also were conducted on his body, and chemical tests were conducted on the bodies of the wife and son.

Federal authorities have charged Benoit's personal physician, Dr. Phil Astin, with improperly prescribing painkillers and other drugs to two patients other than Benoit. He has pleaded not guilty.

Investigators office has also been raided Astin's office several times since the deaths, seizing prescription records and other medical documents.Before he was charged, Astin told the AP he prescribed testosterone for Benoit, a longtime friend, in the past. He would not say what, if any, medications he prescribed when Benoit visited his office June 22, the day authorities believe Benoit killed his wife.

No comment, tired of talking about it really...

Stuff and the like...

-Fuck, someone outside my apartment on another balcony is smoking weed and it's stinking up my apartment....

-Had a good trip to Calgary this weekend, saw my family and did a little bit of shopping and stuff. And breakfast with Mr. Avery was a bonus.

-I can't believe Jen won HoH, fuck me....

-Paris Hilton is thanked in the liner notes of Zeitgeist and there is a picture of her in the special edition book. Nattie Neidhart is however also thanked so that cancels out Hilton.

-Hmm, not really much else to say. Need to do some hardcore packing as it's 2 weeks to moving day, speaking of which, we are still looking for volunteers....

Awesome

George Takei is back next week!!

-Extreme Expose returns next week.... Yay.

-Wow, Punk and Nitro from Vengeance. I wonder if they will edit out the 'We want Benoit' chants.

-It sounded like they dubbed 'ECW' chants over the Benoit ones.

-Punk and Thorn was decent. Thorn looked strong in the loss.

The Latest Headlines

We found a place to live. It's far away and expensive but we really like it and it will be awesome for us and the kids. We are looking for moving volunteers.....

Big Brother has started, and so far as usual I hate them all. The guy who is "Americas Player" seems to be my favorite so far. The broad who cried over her picture needs to die and the annoying gay dude also needs a dirt nap.

The Stamps got there asses kicked and now I owe Connie lunch. Fuck.

We watched a pretty good chunk of the Live Earth concerts and while I'm annoyed by the whiny concept I enjoyed the music. It was my first look at the new Pumpkins lineup, they sounded good although Billy looked quite disinterested.

The part of the whole thing that I found most hilarious (besides Madonna yelling "jump motherfuckers" on live TV) was her commercial about buying music online. Madge said we should buy music online to conserve oil that would be used to deliver cd's to stores. Allow me to chime in on this stupidity.

1. This gives every Joe Blow who illegally downloads music (which is everyone) the excuse to say they are 'environmentalists' and saving the planet by downloading music.

2. Hasn't the record industry been begging us to buy cd's for the past ten years or so?

3. In this age of big box stores like Future Shop, Best Buy etc... Isn't the oil being used to deliver cd's also being used to deliver computers for people to buy to download music on?

Anyway, just my 2 cents. I giggled my ass off at all the people in the crowds at those concerts with there plastic disposable beer cups. They care about global warming. Any congregation of that much humanity is never a good thing.

But, I am sick, feel like shit so I am going to try and nap. Looking forward to putting out the new Pumpkins (and Bad Religion) cd's tommorow.

BBB's Notebook: ECW 06/26/07

-Vinces appearance was quite somber and understandably so.

-I don't buy Jonny Nitro as ECW champion, his match with Cena was bland. And way to establish the new champ by having him lose to Cena in his first match after winning the title.

-"Sing happy birthday to the mark." Brilliant. Nothing like a little Hot Rod to brighten your day.

-Is the Boogeyman over? Someone tell me.

-Punk and Burke was pretty good. Getting a little tired of watching the 2 of them go at it though.

BBB's Notebook: ROH 'Respect is Earned' PPV

-Fuck, Morishima throws those clotheslines like bombs.

-Crowd is hot as hell, Danielson is OVER!

-Marafuji and Romero finished really strong.

-The Sweeny/Toland promo was too long.

-Castagnoli and Sydal vs. The Briscoes was tremendous. Really put the Briscoes over. Sydal has a great SSP.

-Delirious and Roderick Strong was good, didn't do too much for me.

-Main event finished strong and built up nicely. I'm not sold on Morishima, I'll have to see more.

BBB's Notebook: TNA Impact 06/28/07

-Nice vingette to try and give the main even a "big match" feel.

-The main event is first, ok......

-Tomkos plastic piece of guardrail is hilarious.

-Angle, Christian and Rhino was ok, just a tad fucking overbooked for my taste....

-Next week Team 3D vs. LAX vs. Styles and Daniels? Could be very good.

BBB's Notebook: TNA Impact 06/21/07

-Match of Champions? For fuck sake TNA, do something simple!

-Nice acceptance speach Kurt.

-TNA ringtones and wallpaper? Where do I sign up!

-Uh oh, Rhino's destroying everything! He's mowing through the Impact Zone like a...... Rhino...

-The Jarrett package was well done.

-Wow, Chris Harris vs. Raven sucked. Raven doesn't look good at all.

-Who is Ed Hardy?

-Nice vingette for Ricky Banderas.

-Well, thanks for coming out Jay, hope you enjoyed your title run. Match was decent but short.

The Weekend & Stuff...

Well, this past weekend was suppsoed to be awesome but it turned out to be a bag of shit. Sunday was ok I guess but it wasn't what I wanted.... Oh well, nothing worth anything is easy.

Evan Almighty was a pretty good movie. It was a little preachy in places (what with the ark and all....) but it had it's share of guffaws.

The Stamps killed Hamilton in round one on the way to the Grey Cup.

Looking forward to watching the ROH ppv provided it burns ok... Fuckin' codecs....

Owen Nolan, interesting. Regher signed for 5 years which is good.

The Edmonton Oilers have signed free agent goaltender Mathieu Garon to a two-year contract.

Zeitgeist and New Maps of Hell next Tuesday, cool.

Not really much to say, I have a lot of shit to catch up on... 2 Impacts, 1 ECW, 1 Raw, 1 ROH ppv and about a zillion other tapes and dvd's.
