Rambling about Wrasslin'

So I can't sleep, my roommate Tito convinced me to get Wrestlemania. He's been on a real wrestling kick, playing WWE All Stars, watching the history of WCW and Matt Hardy. Since I used to be a big wrestling fan I got it. Honestly, the last time I paid attention to wrestling was when The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin were at it against the Undertaker and HHH. It's been a while so bear with me here.

Well lo and behold, this years Wrestlemania happens to feature the return of Undertaker vs HHH, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and The Rock as the special guest host. The Rock comes out, and that's pretty cool. Can you smell what the Rock is cooking? I recognize some of these wrestlers, but these others, the heck are they? Random hispanic dude vs Edge was good, dude in a facemask vs Rey Mysterio, meh. Snoop Dog's random appearance with Rowdy Roddy Piper and a midget rapper. Random douchebags vs Kane and Big Show, some random wacko speed walker, and Coco B Ware Jr.? Pretty blah, thank gawd it was quick, Big Show and Kane make their annual cameo. Tito, if you're reading this, stop before you get pissed. Sorry if I'm spoiling it for the rest of ya'll, in case you TiVo'd it and was saving it for the weekend, but I'm delirious and rambling while watching this. =_=

Women's champ Eve is kinda hot, Rock and Austin awesome to see as always. Not sure about the theme song, "Written in the Stars"? I mean its a nice song and all, but man times changed, last time I watched it, the theme song was Limp Bizkit "My Way". For some reason, I really don't like John Cena, I think its because I remember him starting out with that stupid Fitness instructor storyline and wearing neon colored unitards. Out of the newer wrestlers I think RKO is one of my favs. Iunno, he's a total bastard, but I kinda expect the good ones to be. Now that he finished doing that stupid Legend killer crap. CM Punk looks like a minor league hockey player, iunno why, just does. This match isn't bad, stupid knee injury plot slows it down, but not bad.

Wow Mean Gene, holy crap Pee Wee Herman! Hall of Fame time, wow The Butcher is still alive. Sunny actually still looks good, man the Road Warriors! Drew Carey... wtf... Hacksaw Jim Duggan! Oh and of course HBK, he's still wrestling I think. Announcers fight... really? Ugh... Oh man, Booker T makes an appearance! The hell is Jack Swagger? Oh thank gawd, Stone Cold pops up! These intros are taking too long for a crap match... Lawl, stunner, gtfo my ring Swagger! Geezus, finally its over. Man, pop 2 in the ring, Spin a Roonie, LMAO Stunner! Oh not done? You get a Stunner too for your stupid email!

Its funny, cause I think the last Wrestlemania I watched had HHH vs Undertaker, and here they're still going at it. Classic HHH intro, time to play the game! Undertaker's intro has always been one of the coolest, but man Johnny Cash! Nice! Its funny how he's gone from Gravekeeper, to weird satanic cult leader, to a Hell's Angel biker, to an old cowboy. This match was pretty nuts, not as epic as the last time I saw them go at it, but it was pretty good. HHH goes, "Stay down! Why don't you just die? What's wrong with you?" LOL, its the Taker, he's already dead. Didn't expect the ending move.

A Mr. Perfect wannabe and some really annoying lady come out, followed by a couple of cheerleaders? Dunno who this random guy is, but HOLY CRAP TRISH STRATUS! Then Snooki comes out and kills my enthusiasm for the match. Wow, Trish is so hot! Trish pwning the noob chicks. Nice move by random guy. Snooki, wtf was that, gymnastics?! Lawl, well I love Trish, so thats fine.

Ok, I think this is the last match, good cause I'm close to passing out here. John Cena... yeah, I just don't like him. But, I have no friggin idea who the other guy is, so I kinda got to root for Cena. zOMG random guy's theme song is annoying. WTF?! He has a clone? Scratch what I just said, Cena's entrance is worse, a church choir, really? Oh man, I just want both of them to lose now. Let Trish be the champ, hell let Snooki! Well at least the match was much better than watching the intros. Well, that was until they had a count out? Really? Rock comes out and says no! HAH! Rock Bottom on Cena, random guy stays champ, should let Rock be the champ. LMAO! Screw you random guy, spine buster, people's elbow! Awesome, that's Wrestlemania 27 peeps! Man, I hope Wrestlemania 28 is Rock vs Vin Diesel. Then again I think I'm good for another 5-6 years. Time to sleep.

Finally back from MLG Dallas! Got to see some friends that I hadn't seen in a while, and check out the new season for Major League Gaming. Starcraft 2 looks hella fun, but man the no Lan thing really sucks. At least 3 matches I watched had to be replayed or otherwise because of disconnects. The game I refereed, Call of Duty: Black Ops was relatively smaller than MLG had hoped, but the competition was pretty interesting. There were 2 all girl teams, one I think made top 16 so they started getting hella press. The 4th place team were like all young kids, you could barely see the smallest one behind the monitor. His teammate was just as young, and if you follow my twitter, that's the one I gave a techincal foul to, lol!

Halo was obviously the crown jewel and had like 170 something teams entered. All in all it was fun and interesting, hopefully next event will be bigger. But man, the venue was crazy. They have these metal statues made up showing some Oregon Trail scene or something in the front with cowboys leading bulls over a river. Next to it was some old cemetery that's treated like a park?!

Saturday, I got to meet up with James, Raymond, Natalie and Thu. Ate at someplace called BJ's and had some kinda beer cider thing called a "Snakebite". It was pretty good food too, definitely better than the McDonald's I was forced to eat most of the time there.

Coming back was a stupid adventure. My friend James picked me up from the hotel to the airport, but it was already raining. Traffic wasn't too bad, so we get to DFW with plenty of time. Check in was normal, screw checking in bags, stupid airlines always seem to lose stuff. Security thought my boob mousepad was some kinda liquid bomb and kept checking it over and over again.


It was pretty funny cause it was the old guys insisting to check it, and the asian chick who was scanning it looked hella embarrassed, lol! So I finally get done with that crap and wait for boarding. That was supposed to be at 8:45am. I take a little nap cause I do that whole closing your eyes, but I can hear whats going on around me thing. But I don't hear anything announced at all, just the stupid airline tv prog that's been looping for an hour...

I finally open my eyes and see that it has been an hour! It's friggin 9:45am and nothing has happened! I look up and see a sign saying its been delayed for 35min, great. So finally we board, on the smallest airplane in the world... I chose the very back seat cause I like to get in first and goto sleep. Well that didn't happen, some off duty stewardess sat next to me. I know it use to be a fantasy to be with a stewardess or something, but that definitely isn't viable nowadays. I have yet to see a hot stewardess anytime I've flown. Well her and the active working stewardess kept yapping, THE ENTIRE FLIGHT! Ugh, remember how I said I close my eyes but can still hear? Yeah, that ability now sucks! I was too lazy to get my headphones out, so I just dealt with it. Then the turbulence hit, oh man did it ever. I seriously thought we were gonna crash, so did the redneck in front of me. "Oh hell, we all gonna die! This is ya'lls fault!" This went on during the entire 15 minutes of turbulence. Outside was nothing but fog and clouds and rain. Literally, the plane felt like a Tetris piece, we went up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, select, start. Then magically, the sun was out and the turbulence stopped. Redneck proceeded to rant the rest of the flight, wanting a refund and crap, good luck with that. So then we land, wrong terminal, I call up Zen to pick me up, who apparently waited at Jack in the Box for almost 2 hrs, sorry dude. I went to the bank so me and Tito don't get evicted, and then passed out for 6 hrs. And that's my weekend.
