Super Dragon/Kevin Steen vs. The Young Bucks thoughts

So yesterday I watched the main event from Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's last show of 2011, Fear. The match was between The Young Bucks against Kevin Steen and the returning Super Dragon. This being the return match for Super Dragon after three years of being away from professional wrestling due to concussion issues among other things already made this a bigger match. Then you got the Tag Titles put on the line and it's in the most violent match in PWG, Guerrilla Warfare. I'm honestly not too up on whatever the backstory might be between Steen and the Bucks but all I know is that I was expecting a crazy, brutal contest between the two teams.

I didn't walk away from this disappointed at all. From the very start all four men made it clear that this was a brawl. Chairs were thrown at numerous points in the first ten minutes on the floor. Nothing of note happened in the ring for a great while as it was just mindless brawling in the crowd to convey the hate between all four men. I mean the Bucks are known at disrespectful punks after the thing over in Hulk Hogan Land. Something about the team just makes people crawl with disgust. Plus you have two heroes in Steen and Dragon.

Everyone knew coming into this that there was no way The Young Bucks would be able to beat Steen and Dragon in a straight up fight. This fact was proven in the first ten minutes or so when it was brawling. Once tables got introduced and Super Dragon was put through one the tide began to switch to the Young Bucks being an experienced team. Steen was put through the ringer as the duo kept keeping Super Dragon out the ring to try to keep Steen down for the win. However Kevin Steen is not an easy man to keep down. He has shown us this time and time again through his career.

Everything began to shift back to Dragon and Steen after the violent team began to feel some fighting spirit flow through their bodies. After about twenty five minutes of action Steen and Dragon won with a double stomp package piledriver. The crowd erupted for the newest Tag Team Champions as the Young Bucks were left to lick their wounds. Excalibur on commentary put over the new champions at the most violent team in PWG history and for anyone to knock them off would be a grand accomplishment.

The night belonged to Kevin Steen and one of the original wrestlers of PWG, Super Dragon. It was a great moment for Super Dragon as Steen put over Dragon's girlfriend for beating cancer. I think through the mask he was smiling upon hearing that. But the match isn't as fantastic as so many people would have painted it out to be. The brawling segments were fun but when the Bucks were working over Steen I just got this sense they were killing time until Super Dragon got back into the match and started beating them once more.

It was a fine return match for Super Dragon. A great way for Steen to end his year too. It was a really fun match but no where near as close as I've seen it rated. If you want my opinion I give about ***1/2. Really fun match but never buying the Young Bucks being able to win just kills so much of the suspense.

2011 Wrestling Awards

I haven't done this in a few years so I figured I might as well give this a shot. The only promotions I watched a lot of where WWE or CHIKARA. There is some PWG or RoH but nothing as consistent as the other two.

Match of the Year: CM Punk vs. John Cena at WWE Money in the Bank

Why: This is one of those cases where everything just came together in a perfect storm. On one hand you had John Cena, the WWE Champion, trying to do his usual stuff of hustle, loyalty and respect (which never made sense in the first place) against CM Punk, the man who speaks his mind. In the weeks leading to this show and contest Punk had gone off on a worked shoot (It's on YouTube) and got suspended for dropping a "pipe bomb." Cena begged for Punk's renstatement and it was granted among a stipulation that if Cena failed to defeat Punk at the show he was fired. You see, Punk's contract was coming to an end at the time of this title shot and was promising to steal the belt had he won it due to the fact his contract ended that night. So that one magical night in Chicago where Punk was a living hero to his hometown defeated Cena and took the title away from the WWE (As if anyone really believed that on the internet) but it made for something fresh. The match wasn't a five star classic itself but the crowd, the work they did do and the aftermath blended it all together in a nice package.

Runner Up One: Eddie Kingston vs. Mike Quackenbush at CHIKARA's High Noon

Runner Up Two: Arik Cannon vs. Derek Cornell at Magnum Pro Wrestling's Cannon vs. Cornell

Show/PPV of the Year: WWE Money in the Bank

Why: In all honest this was probably the best WWE PPV I've seen since Wrestlemania 24. The card was top notch from start to finish with only one match stinking it up and it was sadly expected. But everything just clicked in Chicago that night. If we could get a show like that every pay per view then maybe they'd be worth paying for...

Runner Up One: CHIKARA King of Trios Night Three

Runner Up Two: Pro Wrestling Guerilla's Steen Wolf

Angle of the Year: WWE Title Madness

Why: It was a pretty hectic time for the WWE Title from Money in the Bank until Survivor Series where the title had changed hands a few times in that short of a span between CM Punk. John Cena and Albert Del Rio. It gave a sense of what will happen next even if I personally hate hot shotting the title around that much in that short of a span.

Runner Up One: BDK slowly dissolving in CHIKARA

Runner Up Two: Kevin Steen trying to get back into Ring of Honor

Promo of the Year: Eddie Kingston's Road to High Noon

Why: This single promo brought together a whole year's worth of work for not only Eddie Kingston but he also hyped up the first ever CHIKARA iPPV at the same exact time. The emotion of Eddie wanting to finally redeem himself for his past, honoring one of the greatest friends who took his own life earlier in the year (RIP Larry Sweeney) and wanting to beat his trainer just blended so easily into this fantastic promo.

Runner Up One: CM Punk's Worked Shoot

Runner Up Two: Kevin Steen's "Fuck You ROH" promo on YouTube

Moment of the Year: CM Punk leaving with the WWE Title

Why: He promised he'd leave the WWE with the top title in his grasp and made good on his promise after stopping a Money in the Bank cash in after the match. He blew a kiss to Vince McMahon and left with the title right after.

Runner Up One: 1-2-3 Kid at CHIKARA King of Trios weekend

Runner Up Two: The CHIKARA locker room and crowd paying tribue to Larry Sweeney

Most Popular Wrestler of the Year: CM Punk

Why: Sure he wasn't a face the entire year but once he turned I don't know if anyone topped him.

Runner Up One: Zack Ryder

Runner Up Two: Eddie Kingston

Most Hated: Vickie Guerrero

Why: No one in the WWE seems to get the amount of heat that she goes from everyone in the crowd.

Runner Up One: Michael Cole

Runner Up Two: Icarus

Best Champion: Dolph Ziggler holding the US Title

Why: I thought he did a great job this year holding onto that belt for a few months and turning in some great mid/undercard matches. Plus titles seemed to hot shot around quite a bit.

Runner Up One: Mark Henry - World Heavyweight Championship

Runner Up Two: Cody Rhodes - Intercontential Title

Feud of the Year: Christian vs. Randy Orton

Why: One of the best feuds of the year easily. They produced great match after great match on every PPV they were on. Sure people will complain that Orton berried Christian the whole time but shut the hell up. You think you can book better? Make your own promotion.

Runner Up One: Mark Henry vs. Big Show

Runner Up Two: Kevin Steen vs. Ring of Honor

WWE MVP: CM Punk

Why: Yeah, yeah. He had one of the best years of his career with a few WWE Title wins, some great heel work early in the year before becoming one of the bigger faces on the entire roster. Had some fantastic matches, promos and even snuck in a match against Triple H in a year where Trips did really nothing. That alone speaks volumes about the year CM Punk had.

Runner Up One: Randy Orton

Runner Up Two: R-Truth

CHIKARA MVP: Eddie Kingston

Why: In all honesty I don't know how CHIKARA's year would've gone without Kingston. Seemed like he was always in the biggest matches in quite a few shows. He also ended the year as the first Grand Champion in the company's history which alone makes him their MVP.

Runner Up One: Ultramantis Black

Runner Up Two: Archibald Peck

The NFL Draft

In the matter of six days the madness will begin. I know its no longer March but the madness of the NFL Draft is fast upon us. I always seem to get pumped up every single year for this event, usually trying to purchase The Sporting News NFL Draft Guide which I always find to be utterly fantastic. Seems in this year's edition they put in a draft tracker so us draft geeks can write down every single pick that occurs.

I've been doing a top five round up lately on a couple of message boards so I'll get to that in a moment but first I'd like to discuss something about my favorite NFL team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last year was a pretty brutal year to go through with a new coaching regime and struggling to find the right quarterback to put under center. Seems the organization is content with Josh Freeman but we'll never know how good he really is until he gets someone to catch the ball.

With the release of Antonio Bryant who went to the Bengals, the only proven pass catcher on the roster is Kellen Winslow Jr. who is usually a HUGE injury concern. He could fall off of the bench and miss a couple of games. For all of the offensive woes, the run defense in Tampa Bay has always been a problem dating back to when I became a fan, which was the Tony Dungy era by the way.

Even when they had Warren Sapp the run defense always seemed to have a hole and once he left, it became an open invitation for opposing running backs to run through like crazy. I've been reading that that front office is in love with Suh and I really can't blame them. After his performance in the Big 12 Title game that really put him on the national spotlight, he became a darling amongst the media.

For as dominate as Suh was against the Texas offensive line, he's still not as great as most think he is. I remember during the season listening to the Nebraska/Iowa State game and I never really heard his named called. Now was Suh just disinterested in playing a school that they've dominated for decades or did the Iowa State offensive line that wasn't in the same league with the Longhorns O-Line, were they better?

It could've been a simple off game but the fact remains that why was there such a difference in Suh's games between the lowly Cyclones who he could've ate for breakfast, lunch and dinner and that Longhorns game. Half of me thinks that Suh is the answer for the Tampa defensive line but the other half thinks he'll end up as Gaines Adams, may he rest in peace.

In my opinion the safer pick is probably Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy who was more consistent and has a bigger run stuffing body in order to free the linebackers to make the play. Then Eric Berry is also an option but safeties never get picked in the top three for reasons that I can't comprehend.

I just hope that the ship gets steered in the right course. Tampa Bay needs to spend their top four picks on a DT, WR, CB and another WR. I know I'm harping on this WR position but the NFL is becoming a passing league and with the top WR on the team being the one year wonder, Michael Clayton, the need to start collecting in order to help Josh Freeman become that potential franchise signal caller.

Now that I'm done discussing my Bucs, lets look at the top five overall. All the teams in the top five have more then one need, obviously. With the first pick, the St. Louis Rams will probably end up getting Sam Bradford although I think that Jimmy Clausen is the safer pick at this point. I'm not huge on spread offense quarterbacks and their transition to the NFL because one just simply must look at the QBs that have come out of Texas Tech.

Huge numbers but its all in the system. Sam Bradford had tons of talent around him to catch the ball and I believe he was a system quarterback. Jimmy Clausen on the other hand was part of an NFL based offense. Sure they both have concerns about injuries or character in Clausen's case but Charlie Weis was the Notre Dame head coach who brought that NFL style that Clausen played in. Matt Ryan played in that same type of NFL system at Boston College and thus far he's looking like the real deal.

But the first pick is usually a bust so we'll see who manages to come out of this draft better then the other. With the second pick the Lions need to select Russell Okung. They need a franchise left tackle to protect Matthew Stafford because Jeff Backus allows too many sacks at that position. Look at David Carr. Guy had the talent but he spent too much time on his backside to really get a good look at how good he could've been.

With the forth pick, the Redskins filled their need for a quarterback after they got McNabb from the Eagles. So now they also have huge holes at the offensive line and it would be a reach to get another offensive tackle. They're set at defensive tackle with Hanesworth so they don't need to get Suh or McCoy if either of them are on the board. In my opinion the Redskins should trade down and try to get more picks so they don't need to reach. They should trade with the Bills possibly so the Bills can get a franchise quarterback. Though it probably won't happen, it'd be the safer thing.

The Chiefs with the five pick will probably look so hard at Eric Berry and end up passing on him because their front office prefers to fill the trenches as they proved last year. Much like so many other clubs in the top ten, they need a franchise left tackle to protect their investment at quarterback. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Chiefs get Bryan Bologa from Iowa with their selection.

I would go into the rest of the draft but its just too much to really get into and I don't want to waste all night talking about it. I believe Tim Tebow will get selected in the second round by the New England Patriots. I don't know why but it just seems like the type of place that would take him and use him better then others maybe. Though with his attempts to become a better passer, he might go sooner, possibly in the first round just because he's Tim Tebow.

Just six more days though. I can't wait.

Football Thoughts

So as we know last night was the BCS National Title game that featured the two top teams in the nation going head to head. Both teams wanting to hold that trophy and claim to be the best team of the past college football year. Of course you have to know I'm talking about Texas and Alabama unless you're either a non fan or live under a rock. I hope its due to the latter because everyone needs to love college football.

But the beginning of this game was so odd, I knew something was going to happen sooner or later. Nick Saban, who I'd actually like to punch, made a few horrid calls on the first drive. Then the Texas hero himself, Colt McCoy, got an owwie on his shoulder and left the game. Sure he MIGHT'VE been able to go back in because he did have his pads on during the second half which lead me to believe it actually wasn't all that serious.

I mean if it was a shoulder sprain and it was that bad, why not just have him take the pads off for the rest of the game. I just didn't understand why he couldn't get a shot and go back into the biggest game of his career, the last one of his college one too. If it was Tim Tebow, he would've gone back in with a broken leg to win that son of a bitch. But apparently McCoy's daddy wanted to keep him out because of his professional future.

Well Mr. McCoy, let me tell you where you went wrong. Because your baby boy didn't play, it might cost him a few rounds and quite a bit of money. If he had tried to go back out there, he would've been labeled gutsy. But now quite a few people are taking shots at your son for being a wuss. Perhaps in part due to what you've reportedly said but come on...

No matter, I suppose I should congratulate Alabama on a fine season. My stepgrandgather, may he rest in peace, is probably thrilled that 'Bama brought home the title this year. Mark Ingram looks to have a fantastic future ahead of him. So many times I thought he was down for a one yard gain but he turned it up field and churned out more yards because of a strong second effort. That's a football player. Not saying that Colt isn't but Ingram got a little dinged and went back in.

But now that the college football season is all over, except the Senior Bowl, its time we shift attention to the NFL Playoffs right? Wildcard weekend starts tomorrow afternoon so I'm going to take a bit of time to make my predictions for the games.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. New York Jets

My Prediction: Alright its a rematch from last week, just like three other playoff games. Well the Jets won last week but the Bengals already had a spot clinched up so it wasn't that big of a deal. This is the first playoff game Sanchez and I really don't see it going all that well for the rookie. He started off good this year but he's really looked horrible since. I think the Bengals take this one. 24-16

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Dallas Cowboys

My Prediction: Last week the Cowboys wrecked the Eagles in an embarassing blow out for the Eagles. While I'm no fan of the Cowboys, I don't see the Eagles rolling over like they did last week. But the stats favor the Cowboys as they've done the best of any team this year against the Eagles big play offense. My real problem with the Cowboys is that Romo hasn't ever won a playoff game and Wade Phillips hasn't ever won one either. McNabb is a proven playoff player. This is a toss up. I think Romo FINALLY gets the monkey off of his back. Cowboys win in a closer one. 30-27

Balitmore Ravens vs. New England Patriots

My Prediction: Ugh, I hate this match up because I do not like either team. In a perfect world neither team would win but since there has to be a winner, I don't know if the Ravens can contain the Pats passing offense unless Ed Reed is in. I haven't heard anything lately. Plus I saw that Moss didn't practice for the Pats today. While I hate the Ravens, I hate the Patriots even more. So I'm calling the upset. Ravens win. 21-20

Green Bay Packers vs. Arizona Cardinals

My Prediction: The third repeat from last weekend. The Packers wiped the floor but the Cards didn't play it with much effort, already in and having home field for this game. This almost reminds me of their playoff game last year against the Falcons. However the Packers have a much more explosive offense with Aaron Rodgers calling the shots. If Boldin doesn't play for the Cards, that's a huge loss but Breaston has proved that he can step it up in Boldin's shoes. However scores more points in a wild shoot out gets this one. I'm gonna go with the Cardinals this time because Warner will play the whole way and it'll make the difference. 42-38

So there are my wildcard predictions. Agree with them or hate them, give me a bit of love with a comment if you want. Give me yours too. Until next time...

E-Wrestling

I'm aiming for something different this time. In my last blog, I mentioned something called e-fedding (also known as E-Wrestling.) E-fedding is defined as "a form of creative roleplay based around professional wrestling." A simple enough concept right? Well I've been doing this concept for around four and a half years now. It can be time consuming but it all depends on how much you feel like putting into your character and their backstory/current life and how well you can cut a promo using your character.

Your success is determined through that in a federation, unless its an angle fed (which is based upon angles, the handlers choose who wins that week. Kinda dumb.) Anyways, I've mostly been in roleplay situations where I needed to out preform my opponent(s) for that week or every other week.

I started this game back in 2004 when I was a Junior in high school when I saw a "friend" of mine working on a roleplay on a piece of paper to which he was going to post later. I asked him about it and being a wrestling fan, I thought it sounded pretty neat. So I joined the place he was in and I took off from there.

I sucked when I first started this stuff. I posted two lines and thought that was decent enough to get me by on. How I was mistaken. Anyways, through years of work, I've progressed past two line RPs, much to the dismay of the people I happen to face.

More sample work (Bonus points as to which real life wrestler inspired this one): http://www.geocities.com/recklessjackpsr/lovhatlovhat.html

As you can tell from the table, I have a pretty decent title history. I'm not as concerned with them these days as I once used to be. I'd rather be engaged in an epic feud then go for a title. Such as right now I'm working in an angle where my character's twin brother turned on him and they're currently battling each other and trying to save their sanity at the same time. On the side, he's feuding the owner of the promotion and his personal life is dominated by four daughters, all under the age of three.

This is another sample work to describe the angle I just talked about.

"The past few days have made me realize how lucky I really have it. A wife that loves me, three daughters that love me and more friend then I probably realize that I have. I nearly erased all of that though and for what? I honestly don't know myself. That's the nature of the beast, that's how depression works. Some days I just like to sit down and cry for no reason at all. Other days it doesn't bother me in the least bit. Still I try to think of the logical reasons about why I attempted such a stunt in the first place and I have nothing.

The only thing remotely wrong in my life is Mike and we've nearly stayed out of each other's business for a couple of weeks now, discounting what happened on Assault as he nearly forced me to watch my love take a goddamn Kudo Driver from Danny Vice. If he would've hit her with that, I don't know what I would've done to him, to Spike, to anyone who would've been in my way that night. It's a little scary to think about after everything you've seen me do from the insane leaps to the blood I'm willing to shed, that I haven't even gotten started on The Machine yet.

Tribulation was nothing compared to what is yet in store for them but yet I still don't feel the need to really care about the pawns that Danny paid off in Johnny or Random. When I sit down and really think about what those two are capable of, it's nothing to make me shiver in my boots. Regardless, if I get the chance to eliminate those two during the Conquest match, I won't give it a second thought as I dump them on their heads with the move that was voted the best move in 2007.

That move has put down some of the best this business has ever seen. Derek Sitar, Kevin Hardaway, David Alastair among so many other wrestlers you've never heard of. But this isn't about my certain move. This isn't about me kicking people in the head over and over again until their brain is turned into mush. The Conquest is about one very simple thing, the number one contendership for the GWC World Title. That's a title I've held before. You all saw the "Road of Reckless Jack" end back at Kingdom Come II when I finally realized my goal here in this promotion. I held that belt up high and I got the biggest rush as thousands upon thousands of fans were on their feet, cheering their hearts out because one of their heroes had made good upon his word to win the World Title and rid GWC of a cancer.

When people think of the word cancer, they think of a killer illness that takes down someone from within. It's a poison and right now, GWC is full of this cancer, these poisons that need to be rid of. From Spike Kane to the man Danny Vice himself, both of these men are cancers to GWC. Kevin Hardaway is a cancer to GWC. Derek Sitar isn't cancer though. That man is a full blown case of anthrax.

It's only natural that those four men I just mentioned are four of the biggest names at the top of this company. Spike rode Danny's name to the top and he has yet to do anything with it. It took me over a year to finally make my name mean something in this company. A year full of struggle in order to win a title that I'm almost certain that anyone other then Derek Sitar held, would be in the possession of my brother because he's been Danny's ace in the hole since the day he stepped foot in this company.

But what Spike fails to realize is something simple. I never had to become a cancer in order to become something great. We both know that you never sold out over in that defunct promotion and how did that turn out for you? Sure you got a couple of World Title reigns, one over your little brother but what about the other times you went for a title? You were passed over because you didn't kiss enough ass. So now that you're here, you've taken what you've seen and known to be true and you sold out. I know that I've gone through this before but I love you Mike. You're my brother but until you realized what you've done and snapped out of this trance, it's a goal to put you down like the dog that you've become.

I find no joy in it though, not like I will with Danny Vice when his time comes. I don't enjoy hurting you Mike but you give me no choice but to. I love you Mike with all of my heart but you're slowly becoming the monster you used to be. Even if I have to put you into a coma to stop you from going back into your old habits, I'll do it because of love.

Now I understand that Danny Vice has it in for me but to go after my wife, a woman who is easily one hundred pounds lighter then you are, it's something I don't take lightly. I'd rather you put me in this cage match, taking me out of the Conquest so I don't have to have the thoughts of wondering how Megan is doing backstage while I'm out there, eliminating people for a belt that should be mine.

Some people seem to think that your little plan was put into motion back on May 21st and I find it hard to disagree with them. For twenty one days I held onto the title that meant more to me then any other that came before. Then Joe Ragnal suddenly decides to take a mask off and use his OMA shot in order to take the title from me. I mean you had to know it was him the whole time and give him the green light to unmask a week before our title match in order to get the title off of me. Then on July 2nd, you did the classic screw job, something that hasn't left my mind either.

You see Vice, your actions and your words have gotten you into a world that you can no longer control because after Conquest and after Day of Reckoning, I'll be free to make your life a living hell as you've made mine for the past couple of months. Just remember Tribulation though Danny. It doesn't matter who you have to protect, I will eliminate you either way.

The two other monsters, the monsters that are seemingly of my own creation through my actions a year ago at this same show. Look at what's happened to them now. Derek Sitar is thinking he's the greatest of all time while Kevin has gone off the deep end because of his personal life with Angie.

While it's not my place to run down someone else's life, it seems to be his. Let me just keep this short and sweet. Kev, you don't know. You have no idea what I go through on a day to day basis. So while you stand there thinking like you know me and why I nearly killed myself a few nights ago. Let's say you have no idea which you obviously don't. The Reckless Jack everyone knew and loved is dead. It's as simple as that. The blood that I once loved to shed, the look of glee that used to come across my face when I was busy kicking someone's head in is no longer a part of who I am.

I just find it ironic that Kevin has the nerve to call me a coward when he fails to remember what he did last year when he jumped me from behind. I find it hard to realize that just because he hasn't gotten his dick played with for a few months, he's suddenly got so much more anger and aggression. Kevin, I'm not saying this to be funny or whatever but just go get laid. You killed off a good thing you had with Angie because you were selfish, because you didn't want to change. I changed myself and I'm happier for it. So while I go out and be a "fucking coward" as you put it, have fun living in isolation and despair. I'll be sitting at home with people who love me. Sucks to be me right?

We all know about the final monster so I'll leave it at that. I just know that during the Conquest, no matter what number I "draw" and I use that term loosely, I'll go in there and eliminate and eliminate until I'm the final person left standing. I need to win this match. Not for my wife, not for my daughters, not to prove to Spike that I am better then he is, not to show myself that I still have it in me but the for the reason that if I win this match, I'll be in a better position to rid GWC of the monsters that I created.

When a match houses such people as Michael Knight, Striker Brothers, Motor City Mafia, Kurt Burton, Mike Ragnal, Stargazer, Zak Warner and oh so many others, it's hard to not get caught up in going into the whole taking the time to dissect every single one of them into little pieces but with a concept such as this, I'd only go on more then what I have. But when looking at the talent this has, it's already superior to last year's on paper. The gap is quite huge when looking back on it. There are a few people that know what to expect but to at least three fourths of the wrestlers, its a different ball game.

I know what to expect because I'm one of the few that's been in this concept before but let me take you back to another concept called the Annihilation Complex. In 2007, I competed in it and I lost here in GWC. I won it this year. Last year I competed in the Conquest and I'm hoping that the same fate or luck that carried me through the Complex carries through with the Conquest.

So going by that same thought, you'd think that almost makes me the favorite to win the Conquest. But with a crooked owner who is trying to screw me over, it's hard to imagine anyone but myself getting that number one entry. That would mean I'd have to outlast every single other wrestler in the Conquest because anyone who eliminates me, gets a huge cash bonus from Vice. I can't fault the son of a bitch for it though. It's good business on his part. He gets rid of me for another price. Just like he paid off Spike. So imagine this if you will...

What if someone from the Revolution would eliminate me. Would Vice still pay them? Would Danny Vice keep his word if someone from my camp would have the nerve to eliminate me? Would they then go to The Machine after getting a taste of the money that Danny Vice has to offer? It's something to ponder over for a while as I have recently. Zak's sold me up the river once and I'm quite afraid he'll do it again with the money on the table. Nothing personal Zak, it's just been in your nature to do things like that.

I'm sorry but if it should happen to come down to anyone from Uncultured Revolution versus myself at any point, don't think I won't put you down during this match. There is a difference between want and need. Most of you want to win this so you have the chance to fight for a title. I need to win this to rid GWC of the cancer and the monsters that reside here. Regardless, best of luck gentlemen because when my music hits and you stop to just for that split second to think of who it is, you'll already be gone."

So basically, this is what I do with my spare time. It's why you never see a review from me anymore as I couldn't balance them both very well. This is probably why I'll never get laid but I get some satisfaction from hearing people I don't know very well saying I'm great at this. A buddy of mine is a wrestler and I've shown him some of my promo work (the whole story aspect doesn't make a whole lot of sense) and basically he throughly enjoyed it.

Anyways, if you wanna know more about my character, feel free to visit this page: http://ewrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Reckless_Jack

That about does it for this long entry. Sorry for posting the samples but I felt they were needed for this. Regardless, this is a great release and I can't think of not doing it anymore.

Random Thoughts

Before I get going with this one, I'd like to point out a few things about my new apparent name. First of all, it's about Jennifer Love Hewitt, as if that should really shock anyone if they've read the earlier blog where I basically cream my pants numerous times at the thought of her. Anyways, that about does it. Now the fun begins.

Thought One: I've been thinking tonight about the place where I went to high school at. First two football games of the season and they've been outscored 105-6. Yeah, pretty pathetic even for a Class A (Small, only above Eight Man football) school. Anyways, I joked around with a friend of mine I graduated with from there, one of the few people I manage to keep in touch with, about taking over the football program and installing the spread offense. Probably the option variation that'd you see at Florida or Utah but it'd be a better way to go then what they currently do. To hell with the Wing-T offense!

Thought Two: I recently came across Tommy Boy and Black Sheep in a double feature DVD pack from Wal-Mart. Its been years since I'd seen either movie. While Black Sheep is alright for the most part, Tommy Boy is one of the reasons I became such a movie fan quite some time ago. I remember back when we still had a dish or whatever it was and I'd always sit down and watch Tommy Boy when they'd play it on a movie network or what have you. "Fat guy in a little coat" is something I've done before although I've never ripped the jacket or coat, whichever happened to be on me at that certain time. Regardless, Tommy Boy is among my favorite movies, I'd just forgotten that for so long.

Thought Three: NASCAR is preventing ABC from Saturday Night Football this week. How lame.

Thought Four: If I was anticipating Trivium's "Shogun" album anymore, my head would probably explode into ten thousand tiny bits as the chunks creep down the walls. Gory thought am I right? But seriously, Trivium kicks serious ass and from what I've heard about this able, it's going to kick even more ass then I thought it would have. Also, I'm looking forward to the new Rise Against CD coming out as well. Should be a good one itself.

Thought Five: I haven't been playing any other video game (besides the given of Super Mario Bros. 3) other then NCAA Football '07 for the 360. I've found myself enjoying it more then '08 for the most part. Sure it doesn't have that Heisman mode or whatever it called itself that year but I find the dynasty more enjoyable as you're not confined to play as a singular player for four years. That and you can go deep into your program, build up a mid major into a huge power school. In all honesty, I'd probably take a College sports game over a Pro sports game any day of the week, except for baseball though. I hate the aluminum bats.

Thought Six: The real NFL season kicks off on Sunday. Giants/Redskins on Thursday made me want to carve my eyes out with a rusty spoon with it's boring ways so it doesn't count as a real game. I was hoping for a good day by Clinton Portis for one of my fantasy teams but it wasn't meant to be that evening. Oh well, I'm sure my other players will step it up on Sunday. I will mark if the Patriots lose to the Chiefs. Although I'd love to see the Bucs make the playoffs again this year but I just don't see it happening.

Thought Seven: Labor Day weekend was freaking insane for the most part. Thursday night I was out until around two in the morning. Friday was about the same although that day deserves a blog in itself at some point. Didn't do much of anything on Saturday besides watch college football. Sunday was a reunion of friends that was so much fun my head nearly exploded. Monday was just hanging out and watching Raw (BLEH!) at a friend's. Tennessee/UCLA kicked ten kinds of ass. I was pulling for the Vols but it happens.

Thought Eight: I still need money to get PWG Sells Out. Send me twenty five bucks so I can order it, thank you in advance.

Thought Nine: The Wrestler game on Facebook SUCKS! I've only won like one match in my last ten. I need to build up my moveset although I'm in a tag team with Rowe that I named the "MILF Hunters" without even telling him. He enjoyed it though so yay me for coming up with a kick ass name for a tag team. Although we did lose (mostly thanks to me) to a female tag team. A bit of irony maybe?

Thought Ten: Random ass links to what I do with my free time, which take up my reviewing stuff time.

Yes, I pretend to be a wrestler. Give me the dork label for life now thank you.

Closing Thought: Recently I've taken part in a new inside joke fad. It consists of kicking down a door, yelling out "I WALK ALONE!" before doing the Batista machine gun taunt during his entrance followed by the grenade portion. Make sure to do it in a public setting for maximum weird looks. That or slap your chest numerous times before throwing your arms out with your hood up. I did that once a year ago while walking to Wal-Mart, the old greeter dude thought I was on crack.

Anyways, take 'er easy folks and remember. If you have sex with a hooker and you don't pay, it's considered shoplifting.

Super Mario Bros 3

What comes to mind when someone thinks of Super Mario Brothers 3. They probably think of Mario. Luigi, the P-Wings, Warp Whistles and one of my personal favorites, ANGRY SUN!!! I love that thing, so mad and so easy to get rid of. But when people think of SMB3, they think of something near gaming perfection and it's awfully hard to argue any claims towards that statement. While made two decades ago I believe, it's still one of the greatest games, if not the greatest game ever created and here are my opinions on why.

Point One - Challenge

While it's not a challenge for some, it is for others. Personally, I can go through the game and clear all the levels before I start to stumble in World Eight. Seriously, the first seven worlds are nothing but a warm up act for World Eight. From Grass Land (What I've dubbed World One although I'm sure there's a technical name for it) to Pipe Land, it's all fairly easy to moderate. Although the top half of World Five and most of World Six is cheap death up the ass. Stupid clouds and ice, screwing me up.

Anyways, once you get to World Eight, it's suddenly almost like a new game. From the gun ships, air ships, the normal level and that first fortress (I've never passed that one.), it's all skill. People can luck their way through a great deal of the game but not anymore. World Eight is one of the hardest levels in a game I've ever encountered.

Point Two - The Boot






Yeah, it owns and it needed to be in more levels.

Point Three - Warp Whistles

Think you're badass? Get the first two warp whistles and go right to World Eight with no power ups and only like 10 lives at the most. Have fun.

Point Four - World Four

Giant Land ftw. What isn't to like about giant goombas, koopa, plants and hammer brothers. I love this world and you should too. If not, you honestly have no soul.

That's all I have for my points. But words can hardly express my love for this game. I only play the NES version as I think having save features like the All-Stars and GBA versions have are silly. Nothing beats just losing yourself in the game for about three or four hours, trying to beat your best time (until frustration kicks in during World Eight.) So yeah, go play.


Oh, as a side note, I am no longer ProjectSelfRevolution. My new name shall be revealed next time.
