Hello Everyone! My last post was a no holds barred slap to TNA, and a few people took it seriously. This post won’t be any different, but I also have a ton of happy notes to get to, so let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: moonsisters.org has been under a huge update spree since moving to a new server from HostMonster.com, with the long anticipated fan art section now fully functional. Sailormoon fans are advised to check out the new goodies.

ROH: Cary Silkin, Ring of Honor staff and wrestlers…. You rock! And that’s no kiss-ass plot, no bull, and to quote Larry Sweeney, “Ain’t no doubt about it baby.”

Saturday, November 22, 2008 saw one of the most amazing nights imaginable. Debuting at the PPV taping were brand new lights, a new dolly for a camera that spins 360 degrees, new lights, new music and a whole pile of action emanating from the Frontier Field house in Chicago Ridge, which saw a crowd of over 1500 fans!

In the pre-show event, The Phoenix Twins defeated Grizzly Redwood and Aaron Scott. Despite the loss, Grizzly received a huge pop from the Chi-town crowd, an instant hit with newcomers to the promotion. Grizzly is a charismatic lumberjack around Mitch Franklin’s size, who has recently starred in a few skits filmed for the ROH video wires. Aaron Scott is also spirited, and gave the match his all. The Phoenix Twins teeter from faces to heels, but are well liked by the
Chicago crowd.

An impromptu tag title match started the main show, as Kevin Steen and El Genericho scored a surprise win over the Briscoe Brothers. However, thru sound of the bell would not end the dual team squabble, as security and wrestlers alike piled in to separate the teams after the brawl.

In a hard hitting, agile and eye opening match, MisChif retained the SHIMMER championship against Sara Del Ray. Sara shocked the crowd by coming to the ring wearing a silver and white wig. Manager Larry Sweeney screamed and raved throughout the contest, as MisChif unleashed a bevy of brand new twists and moves, reminiscent of the Lucha style meets The Matrix. After the match though, Larry reverted to that of a newborn kitten, and quietly escorted Sara out.

Delirious decimated Rhett Titus in a short match, which saw the victorious Delirious assault Rhett’s manhood, almost pulling it off. After the match, Delirious continued to assault Rhett by beating him with the Top of the Class trophy. Delirious was so angry, the trophy began breaking in his hands before he beat Rhett with the prize. After the bout, the formerly shy Allison Wonderland swayed to ringside, and caressed the victor, leading the members of the audience to gasp and chatter about what might be going on between the AOTF followers.

In a four corner survival match, the devious Claudio Castagnoli defeated Sugarfoot Alex Payne, Silas Young and newcomer Sami Callahan. However the win would not satiate Claudio, as after the fight, he began assaulting Sugarfoot, and would have laid him out with a chair, if not for a surprise save made by none other than Bryan Danielson.
Bryan, sporting a new light blue shirt with a pink heart on it, threatened to knock Claudio silly, noting that Claudio is forgetting how to fight with honor.

Go Shiozaki, Chris Hero and Davey Richards scored an upset win over Brent Albright, Roderick Strong and the returning Ace Steel. Ace, who practically stole the show, was eager to aid Roderick and Brent, after spending over a year away. Ace received a deafening “WELCOME BACK” chant from his hometown audience, as fans begged Ace to never leave again.

Austin Aries won a grueling and gruesome I QUIT match against Jimmy Jacobs, in a bout that was a constant high spot. The confident Jacobs blew kisses at the crowd prior to the match, and had Tyler Black, armed with a white towel, as his second.
Austin was offered the chance to choose a second for himself, but ultimately declined, wanting to beat Jacobs unassisted. The two former friends duked it out, with Jacobs seemingly gaining an early upper hand. Each time referee Todd Sinclair (who’s lost about 10 pounds since his last Chi-town event) placed the microphone to
Austin’s lips to ask him “DO YOU QUIT?”
Austin’s weary replies were “Dada? Nana. Uh-uh. Nawww. Nu-uh” and “Naw I’m good thanks.” Sparking sympathetic laughter from the crowd. The sadistic Jimmy Jacobs then chained
Austin to a chair, and was about to hit him, when an unexpected twist occurred.

Lacey came back!

Dressed in a red and black stripped shirt, ala Nightmare on

’s Freddy Kruger, Lacey held a white towel in her hand. Jacobs momentarily froze, unsure of whether he should smile or scream. He eventually chose to scream, as he began yelling at her for dumping him in front of a live
Chicago crowd back in April. Upon seeing Lacey, the skittish crowd group inhaled all of the air out of the building, and then gave an ear piercing “HOLY S#IT” chant, pointing at Lacey. Lacey then offered to toss in the towel for
Austin, which promptly woke him up.
Austin screamed at her NOT to throw in the towel, or face his wrath. Lacey-for once-complied, and eventually left the ring after stealing
Tyler’s towel too. The distraction was just what
Austin needed, as he soon took advantage of Jimmy’s weak point, and made the Emo Pimp submit. After the match, an upset Tyler came rushing back out, only to be smacked and screamed at by the Emo Pimp, who was irate enough to blame the loss on Tyler. Tyler, whom has been on the outs with Jimmy, just took a breather, and stormed to the back to calm down.

Credit for the term Emo Pimp goes to the younger brother of Codename Sailor Earth. The duo was seen at the show, as Codename Sailor Earth greeted Cary Silkin with a homemade Xmas card prior to the show’s start.

In a dominating performance, Nigel McGuiness once again retained the ROH belt against the persistent Bryan Danielson.
Bryan had trained non-stop for this match, forgoing the one thing he needed most… sleep. Still, the weary and injured
Bryan made an amazing effort, refusing to back down. Not to be outdone however, Nigel retaliated against
Bryan’s motives by dishing out each and every one of
Bryan’s signature moves. It was at this point that
Bryan was now facing himself in a heavier form. Adding to
Bryan’s frustration, when the match went to the floor, Claudio came back out to attack
Bryan. Sugarfoot however fought back, making sure that Claudio would take a powder. However it was Nigel’s lariat that ended the fight in a flash.

After the match, the crowd instantly began cheering and chanting, because the best was saved for last.

Just for the home crowd, Samoa Joe came to ringside amidst cheers of “WELCOME BACK” to square off against Tyler Black. As soon as
Tyler got in the ring, the crowd erupted in a cheer of “JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU JOE’S GONNA KILL YOU!!” And true to the fans’ warning, Joe annihilated
Tyler.
Tyler tried every trick in the book, but Joe only rolled with the punches, and doubled his attack. After a muscle buster, Joe wrapped up the fight with the Kokina Clutch, making
Tyler tap like Shirley Temple.

After the match, Joe gave a heartfelt speech, reminding fans that even though he wanted to stay, as a TNA contracted wrestler, his place for now is in TNA. However he also said that deep down, his blood is the black and red of the ROH logo. With that, Joe showed the utmost respect for ROH and its fans by kissing the logo on the mat, as the crowd thanked Joe, and begged him to return.

Just days after the taping (which airs in January), Codename Sailor Earth put up a video, showing how far ROH has come: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xghqI-AbmJY

TNA: Well, it seems that Rhyno and Team 3D pay attention to this blog and the TNA fan base as a whole, as the three men have really shaped up since my last post! Rhyno has taken the TNA Originals, now TNA Frontline under his wing like a concerned family member, and Team 3D pulled a shocking face turn last night bu joining the Frontline against the Main Event Mafia, supplying A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and the other young ones with beating sticks after the ECW alumni pulled a fake out on the MEM. So here’s an update and I hope you people at TNA are taking notes:

Rhyno, Ray and
Devon: Excellent job, gentlemen. Not only did you pick the right team, you put an awful lot of thought into your choice and knew when to pull it together. This is why I favored ECW over WCW back in the day, and I’m damn proud of it.

Sting and Kevin Nash: Wow. You guys actually sunk to a new low. Let me ask you, what business is it of yours how A.J. Styles’s childhood went? More importantly, how does his past with his father affect your match? Correct answer: it doesn’t. By airing A.J.’s past, and then accusing him of lying about his dad beating his mom, shows all the viewers at home that you pigs truly do not care what becomes of your image or this business. How dare you boys, especially YOU Decan Sting, ridicule a man who came up from nothing, and fought his was here, just because he wasn’t as privileged as you. While you two were being handed title shots by promoters to chicken to say anything to your faces, this 31 year old “kid” was fighting for his life, and the lives of his family. Back in WCW, when Vince decided not to carry you over to WWF, you guys were alright with that, since you had enough money to retire off of. Meanwhile, A.J. who was a WCW newcomer at the time was put out on the streets by the very company you had the choice to turn down. A.J. didn’t have that choice. For him, it was either have a tryout with WWF, and see if he could earn a $35.00 weekly paycheck, OR try and find a company that would pay him a living wage for less exposure. A.J. had a wife to feed, and bills to pay. You and your squirts were squared off. While you’re only here for pocket money, A.J.’s here to support his kids. Your kids are big enough to accept the word “no” and you’re well off enough to pay for all of their needs in advance. A.J. has two toddlers, who need food, medical care and diapers. Do you really think this “punk kid” likes having to make a choice between his son’s food and his son’s clothes? Do you honestly believe this “arrogant snot” likes having to bargain shop and haggle at the dollar store for toilet paper while you guys screw around at the golf club? Tell me now who’s disrespectful.

Jim Cornette: Lemme get this right, Eric Young fights his butt of, obtaining that X Division Championship, and you revoke it because the ref caught Sheik cheating? Retire.

Kurt Angle: A true American Hero learns to take his wins and losses QUIETLY and with grace. You are flat out stalking Jeff Jarrett. GET A GRIP. You lost. And even if Mick wasn’t there, you still would have lost. Grow up and deal with it.

Dixie Carter and Vince Russo: Retire. A turkey costume? Really now.

Alex Shelley: Seriously. You couldn’t have forgotten what you learned about honor. I know you hate picking sides, but for once, just listen to Mick and Joe and the others. They’re trying to keep you alert, so the MEM doesn’t sabotage your career.

WWE: I’m not going to go through the whole shebang, just some highlights.

John Cena is the new WWE Raw champ.

Edge is the new SmackDown champ.

While Cena’s win makes sense, Edge’s comes across as a screw job victory. Here’s the rundown:

Saturday, WWE reports that Jeff Hardy was hospitalized, his condition still unknown as of this post.

Jeff was released, but WWE pulled him out of the PPV, initializing a one on one match between HHH and Vladimir Koslov.

But in the middle of the match, Edge was sent in as a last minute replacement, with little fanfare.

Jeff Hardy came to the ring gimping, and thwapped HHH with a chair, then screamed, wanting to know why NOBODY called him to tell him he was off the card, and why would they replace him with the man who dicked over his big brother.

Edge speared Jeff, attacked HHH, got the 3 count and the belt.

What the F*ck???

Well that’s it for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!

Hello Everyone! Again I apologize for lack of updates, there’s been a whirlwind of news just piling up faster than I can type. But let’s get to it!

Sailormoon: There’s an article about the lead singer of Birthday Massacre. The significance? Her stage name is CHIBI! She admits to taking the name from Sailormoon. You can read the article here: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,24641309-5003421,00.html

In other news, Moon Sisters has gotten under full swing, as owner Codename Sailor Earth has added new platform-style games, starring the Sailormoon cast, and has even begun adding scans of various Sailormoon books. For this and more, head on over to moonsisters.org!

Firing Squad: As I type this, WWE is currently under a massive firing spree. Here’s the current list thus far, keep in mind, more may be to come by week’s end:

Paul London (Cut due to lack of a roster spot and injury)

Chuck Palumbo (Cut due to lack of a roster spot)

Kenny Dykstra (Cut due to overcrowding on SmackDown. I know.)

Elijah Burke (Dropped from tv, then cut due to lack of roster spot.)

Lena Yada (No roster spot and was not fully trained.)

Mike Adamle (Resigned on a live telecast of RAW, November 3rd, 2008!)

Armando Alejandro Estrada (Cut due to lack of roster spot)

Super Crazy (Quit over carrer direction dispute, may return to Mexico.)

WWE talent fear that the current firing spree will NOT spare anyone, reguardless of character, fan support or even roster. WWE is blaming the spree on the poor economy, but others view the poor economical state as a poor excuse.

ROH: In my last post, I brought up the fact that Gabe Saplosky was let go as ROH booker. In a recent interview, Gabe squelched all of the rumors that came about that week over his release, informing fans that he’s still friends with EVERYONE on the ROH roster, and that he’s taking a break from booking for a while.

In his place, Adam Pearce was announced as the new head booker! Some people were concerned, considering the fact that Adam was not a proven booker, and was mostly a wrestler at heart, but three weeks into his new job, alot of those fears have ceased. Adam is doing his best, and the nay-sayers who doubted him are now praising his ability on such short notice. The most prevelant fear, was that Adam would book himself all over the card, but all decisions must be OK-ed by Cary Silkin before showtime, so again consider this fear squelched.

In other news, FIP star Sal Rinauro lost an ECW match to newcomer DJ Gabriel. No word yet on whether or not this appearance on WWE television will affect Sal’s FIP status.

PWO: The small Ohio company is getting stronger, now airing new weekly tapings, with another one set to air Sunday after Survivor Series on Sportstime Ohio.

Aaron McGuire recently moved in as Hobo Joe’s new neighbor, after losing all of his wealth, by foolishly betting on the August Wrestleution match of Jason Bane vs. Cronus. After the bout, Cronus moved away to California, leaving Aaron, who fed, cleaned, trained and fought for Cronus, high and dry. Aaron and Hobo Joe now live in a dumpster behind the PWO office, and were seen shairing a “joint” during an interview.

SAY NO TO DRUGS.

In other news, after an extensive medical exam, Johnny Gargano has been diagnosed with a herinated fracture in his neck. Gargano has been advised to saty out of the ring for the next several months, up to a year if the injury gets worse. PWO claims he suffered the injury in his August match against Gregory Iron, but Gargano claims he suffered the injury after he tripped and fell signing an autograph. Either way, Kharma has gotten to the brash Gargano, whom has made a game out of abusing handicapped and downtrodden wrestlers.

TNA: *Sigh* I HOPE someone from TNA is reading this, as unlikely a chance as that sounds. Today I’m not going to go down the laundry list of events since my last post, I’m just going to send out a message to the TNA staff:

Mick Foley: Keep doing what you’re doing. As long as SOMEONE with a brain is listening to AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and the other TNA Originals, there’s hope. Keep at it Mick!

Jeff Jarrett: Don’t… ever… leave… again.

Kevin Nash: SHUT UP! You have spent the last 26 years glomming onto the brighter stars, so you can have a chunk of their wealth. It is 2008. Grow up, and stop whining like a nine year old little girl!

Sting: SHUT UP! Samoa Joe and A.J. Styles would NOT be trying to wring your neck each week, if you hadn’t have botched their matches over the summer, and then go AWOL the week after! Quit messing in other people’s affairs. Christopher Daniels used to be okay in the head. Then YOU came along, spewing your right wing nonsense. Where is he now? Hmm? Abyss used to enjoy being where he was, and he had a decent team with James Mitchell. Then came YOU, now look at the poor boy. He’s under how much counseling? Your advice is only good IF people ask for it. But if nobody’s asking you for your two cents then please SHUT UP. Do NOT run this company into the dirt like you did WCW. And STOP messing around in the rafters. The wrestling world has lost too many guys to accidents, let’s not add to it. Get your arthritic butt down from there before you get yourself hurt.

Kurt Angle: You need two things. A psychiatrist and a sista. Kurt, you’re a free man, and there are 100,220 black women who will feed you, care about you, and listen to your story about the 1996 Olympics 100 times and not get boared. Now that you’ve dumped Karen, go get a honey. P.S. Jacqueline likes your booty.

James Storm: QUIT DRINKING. It’s one thing to be a drunk cowboy, it’s another thing when you can’t even tell the differance between the turnbuckle and the ring post. Ife u dink wat dis ib ritten rite, puddown ta bottl.

Dixie Carter: STEP DOWN. It’s obvious you don’t care about the wrestlers OR the fans, otherwise you would quit tossing aside good wrestlers in favor of paying through the nose for classic no-shows like Sting. Just because a guy has tenure does NOT mean he’s any good at what he does.

Vince Russo: RETIRE and this time, stay that way.

Samoa Joe: Come on home to ROH, where people love you no matter what. We all miss you like crazy. I’ll be in the crowd, Saturday.

A.J. Styles: See Joe.

Eric Young: Congratulations! You won the X Division title AND you’ve been showing fearless backbone. That’s excellent, keep it up!

Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin: Dear God men, what have you been on? Lemme clue you in on something. The Main Event Mafia are jealous and want you dead, literally. Samoa Joe’s team love you like brothers and want you alive. 2+2=4 figure it out. Do you WANT to end up like Petey Williams? Get your act together and show these old timers what the MCMG are all about! WAKE UP BOYS!!

Kip James: Get pants that fit you. Angelina and Velvet could be your daughters. They even look like you. Dude, seriously. Also, I’m not saying anything in particular, but if you were to come out of the closet, you WON’T lose any fans. I’m just sayin’…

Shawn Davairi: YES I AM using your old name. Shawn get a grip. You’re American. I’m American. The End. Quit ragging on everyone with your racist garbage. In calling Americans every name in the book, you are becoming what you hate. Knock it off. Can’t you come up with a better gimmick?

Rhyno: See Shawn Davari. Look dude, he’s American, like you. And by ragging on immigrants, you’re coming off as a racist heel. Cut it out! Of all people, YOU know what it’s like to be different. Remember ECW?

Scott Stiener: RETIRE you racist prick. There, I said it. What kind of moron are you that you don’t belive in Samoans? HELLO! You’ve been working with Samoans your whole damn carrer! And why are you hating on mulattos? Until last week, you still had supporters who were mixed race. In the end, all wrestlers are black anyway, so why does it matter?

Jim Cornette: RETIRE. Your promo skills make no sense, your biased towards “select” people, and it’s clear your mental health is in jeopardy. Go home.

Earl Hebner: RETIRE. You suck as a ref, and NO I’m NOT bringing up a certain night in 1997, I’m talking about the rest of your carrer. What do you have against Canadian wrestlers? Seriously, go home.

Dudley Boyz: Yeah, I’m using THAT name. Two words: Face turn. Make it official, it’s time.

Bobby Roode: SHUT UP. It’s time you re-organize your goals, because clearly you’re act is sending fans to the bathroom.  A good heel cuts villain like promos to make people pay to see faces beat you. What you do is just send them away.

Blondie commentary girl: Lauren? Go home. If the faces, tweeners and heels all agree you should shut it, then it’s time for you to persue other carrer options. And don’t worry about TNA, we still have Jeremy Borash.

Awesome Kong: PLEASE beat on Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. You’ve taken out the faces, now go take out the heels. I’m begging you!

Raisha Saeed: Mellissa I can see you under there. Give it up.

Roxi: Keep doin’ what you been doin’ girl!

Booker T: Dude, you’re from Texas, NOT Africa. PLEASE stop embarrassing me. Don’t tempt your current employer into calling Stevie Ray.

Sonjay Dutt: SOBER UP! Whatever you’re on, get off it before it kills you.

So Cal Val: Honestly, you dumped Black Machismo for Sonjay? Are you on crack? Sober up.

Homicide: See Samoa Joe.

Hernandez: See Samoa Joe.

Curry Man: See Samoa Joe.

Shark Boy: Good lord man. Where do I start?

Abyss: See Samoa Joe. P.S. there are some sistas in the midsection of the crowd each week, discussing all the pretty babies you could make with them. Bottom line, get with a sista.

Christian Cage: Well I’m not sure IF I have you on the right roster, but what the hell. If you stay in TNA, start a rebellion. If you leave TNA a word for the wise: SAY NO TO WWE!! Remember the last time you were there? How they kept demoting your status for the fun of it? How every spot offered got handed to Edge? Do you want that again? Indies dude. ROH, think about it.

Well that’s all for now. As always stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!
